WEBVTT - Barr Crushes Foolish Democrats

0:00:10.880 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>You are entering the freedom hunt. After the Attorney General

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.320
<v Speaker 1>had to deal with an onslaught of character assaults today

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.320
<v Speaker 1>on Capitol Hill. He should look at the rest of

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 1>the left and say, are you not entertained? Because he

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.479
<v Speaker 1>crushed those fools. We'll talk about what this means for

0:00:29.600 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the Muller Report going forward and also the Inspector General

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>investigation to find out about how the deep state spine

0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>got going. Plus updates on Venezuela and a whole lot

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>more gone up on the Buck Sexton Show. This is

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>the bus Sexton Show where the mission or mission is

0:00:47.479 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Magnom mistake,

0:00:55.160 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>you're a great American Again, The Buck Sexton Show begins

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>an he's a great guy. No, welcome to the Buck

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Sex and Show. Everybody. Quite a show today here in

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the swamp in Washington, DC. Case you didn't know what

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the swamp is, I know you all do, but I

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>guess technically, for accuracy's sake, I should refer to it

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>as Washington, d C. Where I am coming to you

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>right now with this show, doing it doing it live, Well,

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>we'll do it live from DC. And he had the

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General getting all kinds of heat, as we knew

0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>he would from the Democrats, the desperate Democrats looking for something,

0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 1>anything to latch onto in their Trump deranged fantasy of

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Russia collusion and obstruction. And you know, if they if

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>they had one really decent candidate, if they had one

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>really decent can to date for the presidency, maybe they'd

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>be a little bit less reliant on trying to jam

0:02:06.720 --> 0:02:10.200
<v Speaker 1>these narratives into the brains of the American people. But

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just not going to work. It's just not going

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to work. In fact, if anything, I think today was

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:20.359
<v Speaker 1>a victory thanks to the efforts of Attorney General bar

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:24.120
<v Speaker 1>a victory for those of us who want answers about

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>what was done to Trump, not what Trump did, what

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>was done to Trump. The Democrats today on the committee

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.959
<v Speaker 1>up on Capitol Hill came after bar with everything they had.

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>They did everything that they could to make him look

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>like he was a pro Trump partisan, that he was

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:52.840
<v Speaker 1>not ethical back and they failed. For any honest observer,

0:02:53.000 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>they failed. And it was worse than that for the

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>Democrats because if you watch some of the hearing, which

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I know you have lives and jobs and families, so

0:03:00.160 --> 0:03:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you didn't but I had to. And when you were

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:06.560
<v Speaker 1>watching the hearings, what you saw were Democrats who were

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>also unnerved by the fact that Bar's not backing down.

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Bar is not backing down from any of what he

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:21.240
<v Speaker 1>has said in the past. He's not going to get

0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>pushed into irrelevancy. He's not going to bend the knee

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>to the Democrats and their little media lackeys. He knows

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.799
<v Speaker 1>what went on here. He knows what happened when they

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>tried to push him, for example, on the spying on

0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 1>a presidential campaign, which absolutely happened, and he has said, oh,

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>I'll look into whether it was legit, but they spied,

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>And just keep repeating that to yourself whenever you need

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a sanity check when you're surrounded

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>by Democrat lefties who think that Trump was taken orders

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:59.600
<v Speaker 1>from putin. The Obama administration allowed, and increasingly looks like

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:06.160
<v Speaker 1>ordered from the top spying on the Trump presidential campaign

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>using the United States intelligence community. This is the biggest

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>political scandal of my lifetime. There's no question about it.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>And the word spying applies. Barr said today when pushed

0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:20.640
<v Speaker 1>on this, that he thought it was quote a good

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>English word and notes all the faux outrage because the

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.479
<v Speaker 1>press uses it routinely. They've used it tons of times.

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:33.040
<v Speaker 1>They didn't mind the use of the word spying when

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:36.800
<v Speaker 1>they thought that it was leading to a conclusion that

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:40.279
<v Speaker 1>the president of the United States committed treason essentially and

0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>cheated in an election. Then they thought spine because it

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>added to the gravity, it added to the seriousness of

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the charges. Right then they thought, oh, absolutely, we'll use

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.039
<v Speaker 1>the term spying. But now that we know that there

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:54.960
<v Speaker 1>was no crime, now that we know that Trump was

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:59.279
<v Speaker 1>the guy that they set up, And I like the

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>word spy because of the connotation, because, oh, spying is serious.

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, spying is very serious. And that's why this,

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>I think sent a shiver up some spines, not just

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>on Capitol Hill today, but here in the center of

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:20.200
<v Speaker 1>the swamp where some of the federal bureaucracies like the

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Department of Justice, like the FBI are located. When Barr,

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.680
<v Speaker 1>when asked about this said quote, many people seem to

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>assume the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>confidential informant and a fis a warrant. I'd like to

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>find out if that is in fact true. What if

0:05:39.760 --> 0:05:46.400
<v Speaker 1>the spying was even more extreme, more wide ranging, more

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>intrusive than we have been led to believe. You and

0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:54.440
<v Speaker 1>I both know that is almost certainly the case. Does

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 1>anyone really think that there'll be some justification for this?

0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody really think that there'll be information that can

0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>be pulled together in order to make it seem like

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>this was legitimate, adequately predicated spying. Of course not, of

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:20.800
<v Speaker 1>course not. So Barr is going to use the word spying.

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 1>He is going to find out the extent of the

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:31.200
<v Speaker 1>spying against Trump and his campaign and his associates. He's

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 1>not going to apologize for this nonsense, sniveling, sanctimonious letter

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>that was clearly dropped by Mueller the night before this

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:46.719
<v Speaker 1>hearing in order to make things more difficult for Bar.

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.200
<v Speaker 1>He's not going to back away and say, yeah, I

0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>was supposed what he's supposed to dance to Muther's tune

0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>on the release of this information. Who's the Attorney General?

0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.679
<v Speaker 1>Mueller or Barr? Who's been confirmed by the Senate Mueller?

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Or are is Mueller all of a sudden the Senior

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.200
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department? Is he the attorney General? I just I

0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:10.119
<v Speaker 1>would like some clarity on that from all the people

0:07:10.120 --> 0:07:13.080
<v Speaker 1>saying that, well, you know, Barr didn't do things exactly

0:07:13.120 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 1>as Muller would have wanted with the release. All that

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the all the Special Counsel has for his mandate in

0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>terms of the process is handing the report. That's it.

0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:25.520
<v Speaker 1>That's what he gets to do. Barr then gets to

0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:27.880
<v Speaker 1>determine whether it gets released at all, how much of

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>it gets released, and he invited Muller to be a

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>part of that process. He invited Muller to do what

0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 1>he could to make sure that they were all on

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>board Mullard. Mullard said, no, Smuller's a little hack known

0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>this all along. Muller is the part is And these

0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:48.679
<v Speaker 1>are terms you'll hear apply to Bar, but they're actually

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 1>projecting Smuller. They knew exactly who they were getting. They

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 1>knew exactly Komey's buddy. Anyone who's buddies with Komey is suspect,

0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>by the way, And I really mean that mccomi is

0:08:02.080 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a weirdo, a sanctimonious weirdo. And then there's another thing

0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.440
<v Speaker 1>that might have gotten a bit of attention today. It

0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>might have gotten some people all of a sudden focused

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:20.160
<v Speaker 1>on this. There are active leak investigations going on. Attorney

0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 1>General bar confirmed that multiple leaks or investigations into leaks

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:31.239
<v Speaker 1>of classified information. I think that there's a new sheriff

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:35.559
<v Speaker 1>in town and his name is Bill Barr. And Democrats

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>don't realize what they're really in for. When this Inspector

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:42.360
<v Speaker 1>General report comes out, when we have more information about

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>what happened here, we're going to see. In my this

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>is my prediction, we're going to see that the Obama

0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 1>administration not only refused to tell Trump about the alleged

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>Russian penetration of efforts into his campaign, which is a

0:08:55.880 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>huge red flag, but was complicit all along trying to

0:09:00.400 --> 0:09:03.319
<v Speaker 1>destroy the Trump campaign and use the intelligence community and

0:09:03.320 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and FISA and the FBI to do it object disgrace,

0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>the dirtiest of politics from the Democrats. No surprise, We've

0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.920
<v Speaker 1>got more coming up. Stay with me. My question was

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:20.880
<v Speaker 1>why did you say you were not aware of concerns

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 1>when weeks before your testimony, mister Muller and expressed concerns too.

0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>That's a fairly simple, Well, I answered a question, and

0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:35.559
<v Speaker 1>the question was relating to unidentified members who were expressing

0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:40.280
<v Speaker 1>frustration over the accuracy relating to findings. I don't know

0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>what that refers to at all. I talked directly to

0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Bob Muller, not members of his team. Bar was a

0:09:49.640 --> 0:09:55.320
<v Speaker 1>boss today on Capitol Hill. It was just the Varsity

0:09:55.360 --> 0:10:00.760
<v Speaker 1>against the jv today. It was a guy who why

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.760
<v Speaker 1>he's there, knows what he's doing, knows the law, against

0:10:03.760 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of just little, a little quizzling leftist political hacks.

0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>The Democrats trying to undermine this man, catch him in something,

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.560
<v Speaker 1>show him up, make him look bad. That's all this

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.720
<v Speaker 1>is about. They know they're not going to get anything real,

0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:23.079
<v Speaker 1>they know they're not going to be able to unearth

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>something that all of a sudden will change the narrative here.

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.880
<v Speaker 1>They're just looking to take shots at him. They're just

0:10:29.920 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>looking to try to get him in a moment where

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>he looks bad. And it didn't happen at all. Democrats

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:41.240
<v Speaker 1>look pathetic today, pathetic going after him and this whole

0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>thing with Muller's letter, which as we know, Oh why

0:10:44.920 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>was the Mueller letter released last night? How did this happen? Folks? Oh?

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 1>Is does anyone want to claim this is a coincidence?

0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Is anybody that's stupid to think, well, Mazie Horono. Is

0:10:55.679 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>that stupid? We'll talk about her later. Is anybody other

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 1>than maze Horrono? That's stupid that they would think that

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:09.720
<v Speaker 1>this wasn't leaked to maximize the embarrassment to the Attorney

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>General right before he goes on Capitol Hill, and keep on.

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:14.479
<v Speaker 1>He shouldn't be embarrassed at all. Mueller should be embarrassed.

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Muller is a little prima donna, a whiny, little self righteous,

0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>sanctimonious bureaucrat. Happens to a lot of people. It's been

0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.320
<v Speaker 1>decades working for the federal bureaucracy. I'm just telling you

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>it happens to a lot of them. They might start

0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.640
<v Speaker 1>off as just good, honorable patriots, and there are a

0:11:32.679 --> 0:11:35.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of good and honorable patriots in the federal bureaucracy still.

0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 1>But the people that rise up the ranks and they

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 1>become institutionalist. First, the bureau becomes a single most important

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>thing in the government, not the will of the American people,

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:50.440
<v Speaker 1>not the rule of law. The institutionalists, as we know,

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>hate Trump. They have a seething, a seething rage toward

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.600
<v Speaker 1>the President of the United States. And I think Muller

0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>is in that category too. Mueller thinks that these institutions

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 1>he served all of his life are so important and

0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Trump Trump says mean things about them, and Trump therefore

0:12:07.720 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 1>is a threat. This letter leaked. I thought Mueller didn't

0:12:12.120 --> 0:12:15.280
<v Speaker 1>leak everybody. I thought Muller was just a tight ship.

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>Oh you mean that he plays political games. You mean

0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>that this is the usual Potomac two step, the Potomac

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 1>two step check. You'll keep this card in your pocket,

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>and one day you'll need a favor. See who gets

0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:39.760
<v Speaker 1>that reference. Yeah, that's right, that's right. Movie quotes when

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:43.439
<v Speaker 1>you don't expect them. I agree with the Newt new

0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>to Loot agree with Newt on the letter league here

0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.640
<v Speaker 1>play twelve. I assume somebody wanted to leak it to

0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>maximize the embarrassment to bar and to set up the

0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>questions for the hearings in the next two days. You know, look,

0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>the deep state in Washington has played these games for

0:13:01.160 --> 0:13:04.000
<v Speaker 1>the whole history of the country. This is not something

0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:07.040
<v Speaker 1>new Muller could at any point have decided he wanted

0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:10.760
<v Speaker 1>to refute it. And as I understand the actual key sentences,

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>the distortion is by the news media. Yeah, Mueller's upset

0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.920
<v Speaker 1>because the media didn't pick up the narrative that he

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:24.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted them to. That's not his job. That's not the

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>thing that he was assigned to do. That's not his call.

0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:31.280
<v Speaker 1>That would be like Mueller calling up to complain about

0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:34.559
<v Speaker 1>the content the Bucks extent show. Sorry, Mueller special counsel

0:13:34.760 --> 0:13:42.160
<v Speaker 1>doesn't get to make that decision. I do Mueller's whininess here, though,

0:13:42.200 --> 0:13:44.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad this has been exposed. I'm glad that he

0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.520
<v Speaker 1>was snitty, a very good word to use from the

0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:51.079
<v Speaker 1>Attorney general here. I'm glad that that has been aired

0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:54.240
<v Speaker 1>out for the American people so that we know who

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:57.800
<v Speaker 1>we were really dealing with all along. Mueller was a headhunter.

0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>Mueller was going for scalps from this administration. That was

0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:08.040
<v Speaker 1>the purpose that he set himself to, not justice, not

0:14:08.120 --> 0:14:15.280
<v Speaker 1>the sanctity of our democracy. Crap, total crap. And now

0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 1>they realize they have a formidable adversary, an adversary who

0:14:20.520 --> 0:14:25.680
<v Speaker 1>does stand for justice, who does stand for sanity, common sense,

0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.520
<v Speaker 1>respect for the rule of law, an attorney general Bar

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.600
<v Speaker 1>And that's why they spent so much of today just

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to find some way to make Bar look bad.

0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 1>But even slimy Sydney Bloomenthal, of course went after bar

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and here's how that went for in place seventeen. Recall

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.320
<v Speaker 1>about whether you gave information to somebody in the White

0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:56.880
<v Speaker 1>House about an ongoing criminal investigation in the Southern District,

0:14:56.880 --> 0:15:01.440
<v Speaker 1>New York, or the Eastern District, New York, or the

0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Eastern District of Virginia, or the Department of Justice. Yeah,

0:15:04.880 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just don't recall providing any substantive information

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>about a case. Is there anything that would refresh your

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>recollection if I probably looked over a list of cases

0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and thought about it, But I don't recall. You know

0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 1>what those investigations are. We've discussed them at your confirmation

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:24.360
<v Speaker 1>here in correct. I think you're twelve or eighteen cases, right.

0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.880
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what those investigations are, right generally, But

0:15:27.920 --> 0:15:30.200
<v Speaker 1>I know I can't remember each of them. Let me

0:15:30.200 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>ask you one last time. You can't recall whether you

0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.680
<v Speaker 1>have discussed those cases with anyone in the White House,

0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.880
<v Speaker 1>including the President United States. My recollection is I have

0:15:41.080 --> 0:15:44.080
<v Speaker 1>not discussed those that you don't recall for sure, I

0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 1>can say very surely I did not discuss the substance

0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:53.520
<v Speaker 1>of it. Will you recuse yourself from those investigations. No, yes,

0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 1>there it is no shut up Blumenthalia clown. I love

0:15:58.080 --> 0:16:01.120
<v Speaker 1>this guy. Man is badgering him. He's you know or

0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 1>did you you know they's talking about over a dozen cases.

0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Did you ever mention any of this to the president? Ever?

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:08.520
<v Speaker 1>And he's like, I mean not in substance, but you know,

0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:12.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm an attorney general. You know your clowney Andy,

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, Blumenthal thinks he's got him. Or will you

0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:18.760
<v Speaker 1>recuse yourself? Oh you mean, will I Jeff Sessions myself? No,

0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 1>boom mic drop, deal with it. That's what they're up

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 1>against now with Barr. They think that this is gonna

0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 1>be Jeff Sessions two or they're hoping it'll be Jeff

0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Sessions two point zero. You know, they can scare him

0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>into recusing himself and not standing up for the rule

0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:38.720
<v Speaker 1>of law because in this instance, my friends, when you're

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about the Russia collusion fiasco, this this conspiracy theory

0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>made into a massive federal investigation to take down a president.

0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 1>That's what happened here. And when you're looking at that

0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.480
<v Speaker 1>and you talk about somebody who is defending the rule

0:16:57.520 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>of law, defending justice and the resumption of innocence and

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the integrity of the legal process we have. When you're

0:17:03.800 --> 0:17:07.600
<v Speaker 1>talking about someone who does those things, they are by

0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:11.720
<v Speaker 1>definition on the side of President Trump in this case.

0:17:12.440 --> 0:17:15.439
<v Speaker 1>You cannot stand for justice in this whole mess. You

0:17:15.480 --> 0:17:18.160
<v Speaker 1>cannot stand for the rule of law and not seem

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:22.720
<v Speaker 1>to be defending President Trump because President Trump is the

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:26.320
<v Speaker 1>wronged party here. And that's what the Democrats and their

0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.439
<v Speaker 1>little media allies can't seem to wrap their very tiny

0:17:29.480 --> 0:17:33.959
<v Speaker 1>brains around that. The reason that Barr looks so wrong

0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:36.520
<v Speaker 1>to them and evil and bad and all this stuff

0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:43.360
<v Speaker 1>is because by standing for rationality and reason and truth

0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>and fairness, he inherently seems like he's doing Trump's bidding

0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 1>to them, because all they have done is pervert those things,

0:17:52.880 --> 0:17:57.440
<v Speaker 1>to undermine the process, to weaponize the intelligence community in

0:17:57.440 --> 0:18:00.480
<v Speaker 1>the DOJ in an effort to get Trump. So anyone

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.359
<v Speaker 1>who stands in the way of their weaponization to them

0:18:03.800 --> 0:18:07.879
<v Speaker 1>looks like the president's lackey. But in reality, the person

0:18:07.920 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 1>who is standing in their way is doing what any

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:14.240
<v Speaker 1>attorney general should do. Because the Democrats have lost their

0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:19.240
<v Speaker 1>minds and have abandoned any sense of fairness or decency

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:25.760
<v Speaker 1>in this process because they are that psychotically devoted to

0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:30.159
<v Speaker 1>the destruction of President Trump. Maybe, look, we're almost at

0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the end of the first term here. It's all been fine,

0:18:34.480 --> 0:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>meaning that the Trump presidency has worked out really well.

0:18:37.840 --> 0:18:40.320
<v Speaker 1>It's been a good presidency. Hasn't been perfect, hasn't delivered

0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 1>all of his promises. We talk about that a lot,

0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:44.640
<v Speaker 1>and we'll continue to talk about that, but it's been good.

0:18:45.280 --> 0:18:47.679
<v Speaker 1>It's done a good job. It's way better than Hillary

0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.520
<v Speaker 1>would have been. Economy strong, country feels like it's run

0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:55.680
<v Speaker 1>by somebody that has a normal sense of what normal

0:18:55.760 --> 0:19:02.520
<v Speaker 1>human beings want, and the left just hates him for it.

0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.320
<v Speaker 1>They just hate him. I mean all of this. They

0:19:05.320 --> 0:19:07.320
<v Speaker 1>can dress it up in whatever language they want, they

0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.200
<v Speaker 1>can try and make it seem like it's something else,

0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:13.840
<v Speaker 1>but they hate Trump. And because Bar is an obstacle

0:19:14.320 --> 0:19:19.119
<v Speaker 1>to their pathological Trump hatred, now they hate bar too.

0:19:20.359 --> 0:19:23.679
<v Speaker 1>And I just love Bars. No, I'm not gonna recuse myself. Please.

0:19:25.440 --> 0:19:28.640
<v Speaker 1>He's too slick, he's too smart, he's too ethical, he's

0:19:28.640 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>too honest for them, and they hate him because of it.

0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>Man A bar Bar did a great job today, and

0:19:35.720 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>it is a reminder that you know, Trump hasn't always

0:19:38.200 --> 0:19:40.760
<v Speaker 1>had the best people. But with this guy, he's got

0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the best people. When it comes to the Attorney General,

0:19:42.480 --> 0:19:45.200
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. We'll be right back. Remember when the

0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:48.399
<v Speaker 1>left called the Green New Deal bold, or how about

0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.240
<v Speaker 1>their bold defensive anti semitism in the House. I think

0:19:51.240 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they're mistaking bold for something else, because the way I

0:19:53.880 --> 0:19:56.840
<v Speaker 1>define bold is the taste of freedom I get every

0:20:48.840 --> 0:20:51.879
<v Speaker 1>I think the bar should resign. He missed characterised the

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.359
<v Speaker 1>Mulla report. He should resign, and the interests of the

0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.280
<v Speaker 1>department should step down. Dale Bar really should resign. The

0:20:57.320 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>bar summary as misleading as this, allowing the White House

0:21:01.359 --> 0:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to create this false narrative and misleads American people again,

0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and then he does a press conference misleading American people.

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.480
<v Speaker 1>He should have never been confirmed and certainly not confirmed

0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:13.760
<v Speaker 1>unless he committed to recusing himself from an investigation in

0:21:13.760 --> 0:21:16.679
<v Speaker 1>which he had an obvious bias, went to Congress and

0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:22.040
<v Speaker 1>lied and misrepresented Robert Muller's own viewpoints. Did the Attorney

0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:25.639
<v Speaker 1>General lie to Congress? I think his statement is deliberately

0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:28.199
<v Speaker 1>false and misleading, And yes, most people would consider that

0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:33.680
<v Speaker 1>to be a lie. Lies, lies, lies, misrepresentation. Oh, he's

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.200
<v Speaker 1>so bad, he's so terrible. They never give you any specifics.

0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.679
<v Speaker 1>They never tell you what did he lie about, what

0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:45.400
<v Speaker 1>did he misrepresent? What did he say that was untrue?

0:21:46.640 --> 0:21:55.440
<v Speaker 1>They've got nothing, They've got absolutely nothing, and they cling

0:21:55.560 --> 0:21:58.080
<v Speaker 1>to this though, I mean, this is the central narrative.

0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:02.399
<v Speaker 1>Undermine Bar, attack Bar because on the merits, not only

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:09.840
<v Speaker 1>is Bar beyond any reasonable criticism with anything he's done,

0:22:11.040 --> 0:22:15.560
<v Speaker 1>but the overall story here does not change. There were

0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.639
<v Speaker 1>no charges against the President United States about collusion or

0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:23.680
<v Speaker 1>about obstruction. Didn't happen. Muller report. Muller took his best

0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.040
<v Speaker 1>shot at Trump and it wasn't enough because it wasn't there.

0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:32.159
<v Speaker 1>They don't have it. So now they're attacking Bar and

0:22:32.240 --> 0:22:34.720
<v Speaker 1>they're freaking out. Oh but they did take a moment

0:22:34.760 --> 0:22:38.600
<v Speaker 1>to stop and attack Lindsey Graham on this thing, too, placlabate.

0:22:39.280 --> 0:22:44.240
<v Speaker 1>You have to have specific intent to obstruct justice if

0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:47.880
<v Speaker 1>there's no underlying reluctant to do this. We rarely do.

0:22:48.000 --> 0:22:50.920
<v Speaker 1>But the chairman of the Judiciary Committee just said that

0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Muller found there was no collusion. That is not correct.

0:22:56.160 --> 0:22:59.439
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, Lindsey Graham, but your defensiveness is showing. To

0:22:59.440 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about everything that went into it and the next

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:06.760
<v Speaker 1>breath is storted is a stunning, stunning mischaracterization of what

0:23:06.800 --> 0:23:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the whole exercise is, especially about reveals what I talked

0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.080
<v Speaker 1>about before, that he's sitting there today not as the

0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:14.919
<v Speaker 1>chairman of the Judiciary Committee, but as a human shield

0:23:14.920 --> 0:23:18.440
<v Speaker 1>for Donald Trump, and it would appear again we try

0:23:18.480 --> 0:23:22.520
<v Speaker 1>to offer just a gavel to gavel coverage. But that phrase,

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:27.320
<v Speaker 1>or the lack of it, it's absence from federal code.

0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:31.880
<v Speaker 1>This no collusion mantra. This is so important. I mean,

0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Brian Williams is not a smart guy. He's an actor.

0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:36.600
<v Speaker 1>He's an actor playing a smart news anchor on TV,

0:23:37.080 --> 0:23:40.200
<v Speaker 1>and he's a decent actor. But also he's a fabricator.

0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:43.120
<v Speaker 1>He got so used to playing other, playing somebody else

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:45.440
<v Speaker 1>on TV that he actually thought he was somebody else

0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, there he was killing Bin Laden with

0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Seal Team six and oh wait, no he wasn't. But

0:23:52.640 --> 0:23:57.119
<v Speaker 1>this attack on bar an attack on anybody who And

0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Lindsey Graham in this case, for saying no collusion, as

0:24:01.600 --> 0:24:05.080
<v Speaker 1>though we're the ones, as though it's the folks that

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:08.120
<v Speaker 1>believed all along that Trump was being set up as

0:24:08.119 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he was, that this is an ambush, as it was,

0:24:11.520 --> 0:24:14.320
<v Speaker 1>we're the problem here. They were the ones that insisted

0:24:14.359 --> 0:24:17.720
<v Speaker 1>on this term collusion. They were the ones that kept

0:24:17.760 --> 0:24:21.760
<v Speaker 1>on accusing the President of Russia. Collusion became shorthand for

0:24:22.280 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 1>working with the Russians to cheat in the election. Now,

0:24:24.800 --> 0:24:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I've said on this show many times that they are

0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:35.240
<v Speaker 1>intentionally avoiding the term conspiracy so that when the time

0:24:35.320 --> 0:24:39.240
<v Speaker 1>comes and here we are, when there are no criminal

0:24:39.320 --> 0:24:44.400
<v Speaker 1>charges because there was no conspiracy, they will say, well,

0:24:44.400 --> 0:24:47.400
<v Speaker 1>but collusion is the collusion is a willingness to work

0:24:47.440 --> 0:24:50.560
<v Speaker 1>with somebody else, or collusion is whatever they say it is.

0:24:51.440 --> 0:24:54.480
<v Speaker 1>This takes us back to how democrats and leftists want

0:24:54.520 --> 0:24:57.080
<v Speaker 1>to pick the words we have to use, want to

0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:01.800
<v Speaker 1>choose our language in these debates. For us, they chose

0:25:01.880 --> 0:25:06.760
<v Speaker 1>collusion very intentionally, and now we see why they made

0:25:06.840 --> 0:25:08.879
<v Speaker 1>us use the word collusion. And now they go, ha ha,

0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.399
<v Speaker 1>there's there's no real crime. Although there is collusion when

0:25:11.400 --> 0:25:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it comes to companies and price fixing that can be

0:25:13.840 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 1>but you know, haha, there's no collusion. Why are they're

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 1>saying there's no collusion because it's not really a thing. Well,

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:21.520
<v Speaker 1>they're the ones that insisted on this. That was the narrative.

0:25:21.520 --> 0:25:24.120
<v Speaker 1>The narrative was collusion. It's not the Russia Trump conspiracy.

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It was Russia Trump collusion for two years. And now

0:25:28.840 --> 0:25:31.920
<v Speaker 1>they act like it's on us. And now they put

0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:36.440
<v Speaker 1>people like Maxine Waters forward, who you know, just all

0:25:36.480 --> 0:25:38.640
<v Speaker 1>she does is yell about how everybody should be impeached

0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.160
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Who casts a vote for Maxine Waters

0:25:42.200 --> 0:25:45.040
<v Speaker 1>and feels good about themselves for doing it? I just

0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:48.720
<v Speaker 1>I really am curious. I mean, we're gonna talk about

0:25:48.720 --> 0:25:51.879
<v Speaker 1>Mazie Horono come up in a moment. Maizie Horono is

0:25:52.720 --> 0:25:56.800
<v Speaker 1>the dumbest person in the entire United States Congress. Maxine

0:25:56.800 --> 0:25:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Water is pretty close, though. Maxine Waters gives her some

0:26:01.119 --> 0:26:05.359
<v Speaker 1>some real competition. And look, there are a lot of

0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:09.160
<v Speaker 1>very dumb members of Congress, but Maxie Waters right up there,

0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.960
<v Speaker 1>and she's taking this opportunity Capitol Hill, grandstanding today, a

0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of cameras everywhere to say that not all I mean,

0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:19.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, she's the one who says, you know, impeachment, impeachment, impeachment.

0:26:19.920 --> 0:26:22.840
<v Speaker 1>President Trump should impeached. Oh it's not just President Trump

0:26:22.840 --> 0:26:26.280
<v Speaker 1>who should be impeached for what? Who knows, who cares,

0:26:26.320 --> 0:26:29.480
<v Speaker 1>doesn't even matter, Just impeach you, that's her position. But

0:26:29.680 --> 0:26:34.840
<v Speaker 1>that Bill Barr himself should be impeached and removed from

0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>office play clib six. I think that Barr should resign,

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and if he does not resign, he should be facing

0:26:41.880 --> 0:26:47.199
<v Speaker 1>impeachment proceedings. Also, he has abdicated on his responsibility. He

0:26:47.240 --> 0:26:50.119
<v Speaker 1>has lied, He has used the very words coming right

0:26:50.119 --> 0:26:53.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the president's mouth, no collusion, no collusion, no collusion,

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 1>and made a decision that despite what the Special Counsel

0:26:58.000 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 1>put into that report about a ruction of justice, he said,

0:27:01.480 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 1>he made the decision that he had not obstructive justice.

0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.920
<v Speaker 1>It is outrageous and he needs to go. What did

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:13.000
<v Speaker 1>he lie about? Can they just tell me how, bar Lie?

0:27:13.040 --> 0:27:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Just once, just once, I'd like to know, what do

0:27:16.840 --> 0:27:20.919
<v Speaker 1>you lie about? There is no collusion, folks, Okay, there

0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is no crime of working with the Russians to the election.

0:27:24.720 --> 0:27:28.760
<v Speaker 1>It didn't it didn't happen. So what are we talking

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:33.080
<v Speaker 1>about now? That the tortured logic and the violence done

0:27:33.119 --> 0:27:35.520
<v Speaker 1>to language that Democrats are engaging in here just goes

0:27:35.560 --> 0:27:39.879
<v Speaker 1>to show you there's no intellectual honesty, no decency, or

0:27:39.920 --> 0:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>integrity that they approach this issue with at all. It's

0:27:42.520 --> 0:27:46.200
<v Speaker 1>just all politics, pure and simple. Who is the dumbest

0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:50.120
<v Speaker 1>member of Congress. It's a tough competition. There are some

0:27:50.240 --> 0:27:53.560
<v Speaker 1>real doozies. I mean there are some. There are some

0:27:53.640 --> 0:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>straight up dumb asses in Congress. Let's be honest about it, folks.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:27:58.680
<v Speaker 1>We're friends. We can talk about this, right, we don't

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:01.679
<v Speaker 1>have to hold back. There are some dumb asses. I

0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:07.639
<v Speaker 1>don't know what it is about a beautiful, incredible state

0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:10.720
<v Speaker 1>like Hawaii that the people of Hawaii can't do better

0:28:10.760 --> 0:28:13.920
<v Speaker 1>than than Mazie Harrono. But I would offer you you

0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:18.679
<v Speaker 1>that she edges out, she edges out the the the

0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:21.640
<v Speaker 1>dumbest members of Congress just a little bit. She's number one.

0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I think she's number one. She is a level of

0:28:27.320 --> 0:28:31.560
<v Speaker 1>stupidity that should never be in a position of authority.

0:28:31.640 --> 0:28:34.439
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that she's in the not just the

0:28:34.560 --> 0:28:37.640
<v Speaker 1>in the in the Congress, that she's a senator. She's

0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:40.800
<v Speaker 1>not just one of the hundreds of members of the House,

0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:44.440
<v Speaker 1>but she's one of the one hundred US senators. Hawaii,

0:28:44.520 --> 0:28:48.400
<v Speaker 1>I love you. Your state's amazing, It's gorgeous. I probably

0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:50.880
<v Speaker 1>want to live there. But what are you doing with

0:28:50.960 --> 0:28:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Mazie Harona? Come on, I know those you listen to

0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the show like Buck, I didn't vote for her, but still,

0:28:56.600 --> 0:28:58.840
<v Speaker 1>come on, Hawaii, get your game together. I mean, this

0:28:58.920 --> 0:29:02.720
<v Speaker 1>is what manager Harona was saying today too. Just further embarrassed.

0:29:02.760 --> 0:29:04.280
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna We're gonna do a little bit of an

0:29:04.240 --> 0:29:09.520
<v Speaker 1>amazing session. Here. Here's what she said to bar Policlip fourteen.

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You called a press conference to once again try to

0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.520
<v Speaker 1>clear Donald Trump before anyone had a chance to read

0:29:16.560 --> 0:29:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the Special Consol's report and come to their own conclusions.

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:23.479
<v Speaker 1>But when we read the report, we knew Robert Mueller's

0:29:23.520 --> 0:29:27.920
<v Speaker 1>concerns were valid and that your version of events was false.

0:29:29.160 --> 0:29:31.760
<v Speaker 1>You used every advantage of your office to create the

0:29:31.840 --> 0:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>impression that the President was cleared of misconduct. You selectively

0:29:35.760 --> 0:29:39.360
<v Speaker 1>quoted fragments from the Special Consol's report, taking some of

0:29:39.360 --> 0:29:42.600
<v Speaker 1>the most important statements out of context and ignoring the rest.

0:29:43.080 --> 0:29:45.080
<v Speaker 1>You put the power and authority of the Office of

0:29:45.080 --> 0:29:48.280
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney General and the Department of Justice behind a

0:29:48.480 --> 0:29:54.400
<v Speaker 1>public relations effort. She's a clown and a moron, and

0:29:54.560 --> 0:29:58.480
<v Speaker 1>she's debasing her office with this statement that you'll note

0:29:58.480 --> 0:30:01.400
<v Speaker 1>has has no substance to a substance to it whatsoever.

0:30:02.240 --> 0:30:06.760
<v Speaker 1>He tried to clear Trump by releasing the entire report,

0:30:06.800 --> 0:30:08.240
<v Speaker 1>which he did not have to do. He could have

0:30:08.320 --> 0:30:11.160
<v Speaker 1>kept the entire reports secret, would have been completely He

0:30:11.200 --> 0:30:14.040
<v Speaker 1>would have been completely within his power and authorities. Attorney

0:30:14.080 --> 0:30:16.239
<v Speaker 1>generals say, Nope, the report's not going public, thank you.

0:30:17.480 --> 0:30:20.920
<v Speaker 1>He released the whole thing with what less than five

0:30:21.000 --> 0:30:26.960
<v Speaker 1>percent of it redacted. Oh and as to the redacted report,

0:30:27.560 --> 0:30:30.840
<v Speaker 1>what two members of two Democrats in the Congress have

0:30:30.880 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>actually read it. It's like they didn't even take the time.

0:30:33.400 --> 0:30:36.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't even care because they know there's nothing. There's

0:30:36.360 --> 0:30:38.920
<v Speaker 1>nothing in those redactions that'll change anything. This is just

0:30:39.000 --> 0:30:42.520
<v Speaker 1>all political theater for them. This is for the Democrats,

0:30:42.600 --> 0:30:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this is an opportunity to try to score cheap points.

0:30:45.360 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>And that's what she was doing there. She said Muller quote,

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:54.400
<v Speaker 1>Muller's concerns were valid, and your version of events was false.

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:58.720
<v Speaker 1>It was false. That's interesting because Muller never claimed that

0:30:58.800 --> 0:31:04.400
<v Speaker 1>anything that the General Barr said was incorrect or untrue.

0:31:04.480 --> 0:31:08.800
<v Speaker 1>Producer might just told me zero zero goose egg, not

0:31:09.000 --> 0:31:14.440
<v Speaker 1>a zilch. Democrats have read the unredacted MULA report. Two

0:31:14.480 --> 0:31:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Republicans have. They care so much about it that they

0:31:18.720 --> 0:31:22.560
<v Speaker 1>don't care at all. I guess the Democrats, um, you know,

0:31:22.600 --> 0:31:26.520
<v Speaker 1>they're they're not going to look into those secret sections

0:31:26.560 --> 0:31:29.600
<v Speaker 1>because there's nothing in those secret sections to help their case.

0:31:31.680 --> 0:31:34.480
<v Speaker 1>But Mazie Horrono says that the version of events that

0:31:34.520 --> 0:31:40.840
<v Speaker 1>bar presented was false. Someone please tell Mazie Horono to

0:31:40.880 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 1>go read a book, go read something, Go read the

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Maula report. How about that version of events was false?

0:31:49.840 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr is a top mind. Mazie Horrono, I think

0:31:56.440 --> 0:32:00.520
<v Speaker 1>would have would have difficulty trying to, you know, order

0:32:00.560 --> 0:32:02.440
<v Speaker 1>off a menu with numbers off of it if her

0:32:02.440 --> 0:32:05.640
<v Speaker 1>staff didn't put it in front of her. And here

0:32:05.680 --> 0:32:10.320
<v Speaker 1>we are listening to her trash this man, trash him,

0:32:10.360 --> 0:32:14.160
<v Speaker 1>trash his integrity. What a joke, an unfunny one at that.

0:32:16.400 --> 0:32:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Bill Barr is like my legal spirit animal up there. Man,

0:32:19.000 --> 0:32:21.800
<v Speaker 1>He's just answering all their questions. Knows this stuff backwards

0:32:21.840 --> 0:32:26.239
<v Speaker 1>and forwards, and they're so seething men. They wish they

0:32:26.280 --> 0:32:30.320
<v Speaker 1>had ab Jeff Sessions. I'm not gonna addsway headed questions today.

0:32:30.440 --> 0:32:32.840
<v Speaker 1>You know they like that, They like dealing with Sessions.

0:32:32.880 --> 0:32:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean to be mean about the guy, but

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you know they don't like dealing with Barry. This guy

0:32:40.120 --> 0:32:42.320
<v Speaker 1>was ready and then some for this man. The Trump

0:32:42.360 --> 0:32:46.480
<v Speaker 1>administration is lucky to have him in this role. But

0:32:46.640 --> 0:32:50.840
<v Speaker 1>heron no, not enough for her to go out from

0:32:50.880 --> 0:32:53.440
<v Speaker 1>one time decide that she needs to try to score

0:32:53.480 --> 0:32:57.880
<v Speaker 1>more cheap political points. Play fifteen. You are no different

0:32:58.200 --> 0:33:01.520
<v Speaker 1>from Rudy Giuliani or kellyank Hanway or any of the

0:33:01.560 --> 0:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>other people who sacrifice their once decent reputation for the

0:33:05.520 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>grifter and lawyer who sits in the oble office. You

0:33:08.720 --> 0:33:10.920
<v Speaker 1>once turned down a job offer from Donald Trump to

0:33:11.000 --> 0:33:15.040
<v Speaker 1>represent him as his private attorney. At your confirmation hearing,

0:33:15.080 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 1>you told Senator Feinstein that, quote the job of attorney

0:33:18.400 --> 0:33:21.720
<v Speaker 1>general is not the same as representing and quote the president.

0:33:21.960 --> 0:33:24.560
<v Speaker 1>So you know the difference. But you've chosen to be

0:33:24.640 --> 0:33:28.800
<v Speaker 1>the president's lawyer and aside with him over the interests

0:33:28.800 --> 0:33:31.800
<v Speaker 1>of the American people. To start with, you should never

0:33:31.880 --> 0:33:35.800
<v Speaker 1>have been involved in supervising the Robert Mueller investigation. You

0:33:35.840 --> 0:33:39.720
<v Speaker 1>wrote a nineteen page unsolicited memo which you admit was

0:33:39.720 --> 0:33:43.120
<v Speaker 1>not based on any facts, attacking the premise of half

0:33:43.120 --> 0:33:47.280
<v Speaker 1>of the investigation. And you also should have insisted that

0:33:47.360 --> 0:33:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Deputy Attorney General Rob Rosenstein recused himself. He wasn't just

0:33:51.440 --> 0:33:54.760
<v Speaker 1>a witness to some of the President's obstructive behavior. We

0:33:54.960 --> 0:33:58.800
<v Speaker 1>now know he was in frequent personal contact with the president.

0:33:59.080 --> 0:34:02.080
<v Speaker 1>A subject of the investigation. You should have left it

0:34:02.160 --> 0:34:08.400
<v Speaker 1>two career officials. Rosenstein is a career official, you moron.

0:34:10.200 --> 0:34:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Herono is an idiot, an idiot, and she's speaking to

0:34:16.520 --> 0:34:22.040
<v Speaker 1>a better person, a more honorable, smarter, better person, and

0:34:22.120 --> 0:34:26.120
<v Speaker 1>trying to tear him down because her constituents, the people

0:34:26.120 --> 0:34:30.280
<v Speaker 1>that vote for Maisie Herono, are a bunch of loons

0:34:30.320 --> 0:34:34.640
<v Speaker 1>who still believe that the president United States should be prosecuted,

0:34:34.680 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 1>should be out of office, duced down. There a bunch

0:34:36.800 --> 0:34:42.080
<v Speaker 1>of babies, a bunch of babies. You lost. Hillary was horrible. Hello,

0:34:43.760 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>Hillary was a travesty of a candidate. Deal with it. Instead,

0:34:51.600 --> 0:34:54.520
<v Speaker 1>what they try to do, find some way to justify

0:34:57.480 --> 0:34:59.359
<v Speaker 1>the loss, to try to come up with a way

0:34:59.360 --> 0:35:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to undermine the victory of the president. You know, justify

0:35:03.200 --> 0:35:06.440
<v Speaker 1>that that this didn't really happen. You see it. He cheated,

0:35:06.560 --> 0:35:10.120
<v Speaker 1>he cheated. They say, oh, yeah, sure he did. What

0:35:10.440 --> 0:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>are they gonna say the next time around? Man, I

0:35:12.120 --> 0:35:16.200
<v Speaker 1>just I just hope Trump cleans whatever whatever silly COMI

0:35:16.560 --> 0:35:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats put up for their you know, their next candidate.

0:35:19.160 --> 0:35:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Oh Trump just cleans his or her clock, I really do.

0:35:22.440 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 1>I hope he just runs the table like like Reagan

0:35:25.040 --> 0:35:29.080
<v Speaker 1>in his second term. Just uh, it would be amazing,

0:35:29.080 --> 0:35:33.400
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't it. Look, here's here's how you know that heronos

0:35:33.440 --> 0:35:39.560
<v Speaker 1>a joke. She's saying that that Rosenstein, Rosenstein. You know

0:35:39.680 --> 0:35:42.920
<v Speaker 1>he's a problem now. But but if if before Barr

0:35:42.960 --> 0:35:45.560
<v Speaker 1>came along, they had replaced Rosenstein or they had moved

0:35:45.640 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 1>him aside, guess what that would have been catastrophic anyone

0:35:50.800 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>who did not try to take down the president. And

0:35:53.920 --> 0:35:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I think Rosenstein wanted to. He was gonna wear a wire.

0:35:57.160 --> 0:36:01.279
<v Speaker 1>But because he didn't succeed, he's unaccepted to them. Just

0:36:01.280 --> 0:36:04.279
<v Speaker 1>just one more. They mean. Herono is so insane that

0:36:04.320 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>she actually goes to the point of telling telling bar

0:36:08.120 --> 0:36:10.000
<v Speaker 1>that he needs to play Clip twenty one. You got

0:36:10.000 --> 0:36:13.400
<v Speaker 1>to hear this. But now we know more about your

0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:16.280
<v Speaker 1>deep involvement and trying to cover up for Donald Trump.

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Being Attorney General of the United States is a sacred trust.

0:36:20.040 --> 0:36:25.200
<v Speaker 1>You have betrayed that trust. America deserves better. You should resign.

0:36:25.960 --> 0:36:30.320
<v Speaker 1>I have some questions for you, dumbest human being in

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the United States Congress. It's Mazie Herono. She wins first prize,

0:36:34.520 --> 0:36:37.320
<v Speaker 1>number one, top of the top of the chart. Baby

0:36:38.600 --> 0:36:44.880
<v Speaker 1>going double platinum. Stupid Mazie Herono should resign. Sky was

0:36:44.920 --> 0:36:48.799
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General under a different administration. He's work in the

0:36:48.880 --> 0:36:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Office of Legal Counsel, which is the absolute best of

0:36:51.760 --> 0:36:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the best the DJ has and he's going to resign.

0:36:56.040 --> 0:36:58.799
<v Speaker 1>Why what did he do? Because she doesn't like him,

0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:03.760
<v Speaker 1>because he's being them, He's beating the Democrats. He's smarter

0:37:03.880 --> 0:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>than they are. He knows the system better than they do.

0:37:07.520 --> 0:37:11.160
<v Speaker 1>They don't like it. They've gotten used to some novices

0:37:11.560 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>that Trump has put in positions that honestly weren't very

0:37:13.880 --> 0:37:18.080
<v Speaker 1>weren't very wise. Bill Barr's not in that category at all.

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:20.279
<v Speaker 1>They don't know how to handle him. So what do

0:37:20.280 --> 0:37:25.080
<v Speaker 1>they do? They attack like the little slimy cowards they

0:37:25.120 --> 0:37:30.680
<v Speaker 1>are calling into question Bill Barr's heronor should be ashamed

0:37:30.680 --> 0:37:32.799
<v Speaker 1>of herself, But she's too stupid to know that she

0:37:32.800 --> 0:37:36.600
<v Speaker 1>should be ashamed. I offered Bob Mueller the opportunity to

0:37:36.680 --> 0:37:39.279
<v Speaker 1>review that letter before it went out, and he declined.

0:37:39.640 --> 0:37:42.279
<v Speaker 1>On Thursday morning, I received a letter from Bob, the

0:37:42.360 --> 0:37:45.360
<v Speaker 1>letter that's just been put into the record, and I

0:37:45.440 --> 0:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>called Bob and said, you know, what's the issue? Here?

0:37:49.719 --> 0:37:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Are you? And I asked him if he was suggesting

0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>that the March twenty fourth letter was inaccurate, and he

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:58.520
<v Speaker 1>said no, but that the press reporting had been inaccurate

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:01.759
<v Speaker 1>and that the press was reading too much into it.

0:38:01.840 --> 0:38:05.160
<v Speaker 1>And I asked him, you know, specifically, what his concern was,

0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:10.680
<v Speaker 1>and he said that his concern focused on his explanation

0:38:10.760 --> 0:38:14.600
<v Speaker 1>of why he did not reach a conclusion on obstruction,

0:38:16.280 --> 0:38:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and he wanted more put out on that issue. But

0:38:19.600 --> 0:38:21.239
<v Speaker 1>he was very clear with me that he was not

0:38:21.320 --> 0:38:28.920
<v Speaker 1>suggesting that we had misrepresented his report. There you have

0:38:29.000 --> 0:38:33.840
<v Speaker 1>the Attorney General explaining this really quite strange circumstance of

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:39.040
<v Speaker 1>the special Counsel, Bob Muller complaining but not really complaining,

0:38:39.120 --> 0:38:43.359
<v Speaker 1>not really clear what he wanted. What is going on here, folks?

0:38:43.440 --> 0:38:45.840
<v Speaker 1>We got Andy McCarthy in the house to answer this

0:38:45.880 --> 0:38:48.359
<v Speaker 1>in a whole lot more. Annie McCarthy Course of National View,

0:38:48.440 --> 0:38:52.880
<v Speaker 1>also a Fox News contributor and a former assistant US

0:38:52.920 --> 0:38:54.920
<v Speaker 1>Attorney for the Southern District of New York for a

0:38:54.920 --> 0:38:58.000
<v Speaker 1>couple of decades. Andy, Great to have you, that's great

0:38:58.000 --> 0:39:01.399
<v Speaker 1>to be with you. What do you make of this? Look,

0:39:01.400 --> 0:39:02.880
<v Speaker 1>we got a lot to talk about today from the

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:05.839
<v Speaker 1>hearing and bar and what comes next. But first on

0:39:05.880 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 1>this Muller, as as Bar called that kind of snitty email,

0:39:11.600 --> 0:39:13.839
<v Speaker 1>What the heck is a special counsel doing here? Andy?

0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:16.640
<v Speaker 1>To me, it looks like Muller's just being kind of

0:39:17.040 --> 0:39:23.839
<v Speaker 1>a whiny little punk, you know. I think worse even

0:39:23.880 --> 0:39:26.600
<v Speaker 1>than the letter buck is the fact that they leaked

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:30.239
<v Speaker 1>at the night before what they had to know was

0:39:30.280 --> 0:39:35.840
<v Speaker 1>going to be very combative, difficult testimony today in the

0:39:35.920 --> 0:39:39.359
<v Speaker 1>Senate and tomorrow in the House. So, you know, for

0:39:39.400 --> 0:39:42.680
<v Speaker 1>those people who aren't in the kind of business that

0:39:43.719 --> 0:39:46.440
<v Speaker 1>we used to be in in law enforcement and intelligence,

0:39:46.440 --> 0:39:49.919
<v Speaker 1>when you're getting people suited up to testify the next

0:39:49.960 --> 0:39:52.000
<v Speaker 1>day and somebody drops a stink bomb in the middle

0:39:52.000 --> 0:39:55.680
<v Speaker 1>of your your prep like that, it is a It's

0:39:55.760 --> 0:39:58.200
<v Speaker 1>not a good experience. So I think it's really an

0:39:58.239 --> 0:40:01.719
<v Speaker 1>excusable thing to do. It. Also, I think brings to

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:06.120
<v Speaker 1>the floor something that we've talked about before, and that

0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.040
<v Speaker 1>is that it looks like we have a difference in

0:40:09.200 --> 0:40:13.279
<v Speaker 1>philosophy of what a prosecutor's supposed to do and what

0:40:13.280 --> 0:40:18.120
<v Speaker 1>a prosecutor's job is. Mallar, I think I'm surprised to

0:40:18.120 --> 0:40:22.120
<v Speaker 1>see seems to be of a view that a prosecutor's

0:40:22.200 --> 0:40:25.160
<v Speaker 1>job is to script a narrative and pepper it with

0:40:25.200 --> 0:40:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the occasional process crime indictment. And Barr is kind of

0:40:31.520 --> 0:40:35.040
<v Speaker 1>old school and thinks the prosecutor's job is to decide

0:40:35.160 --> 0:40:37.719
<v Speaker 1>is there enough evidence to charge or is there not?

0:40:37.840 --> 0:40:40.680
<v Speaker 1>And if there's not, you're supposed to shut up. That's

0:40:40.920 --> 0:40:43.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, when I was a prosecutor for twenty years,

0:40:43.520 --> 0:40:46.239
<v Speaker 1>that that was the way I always heard it. But

0:40:46.360 --> 0:40:50.680
<v Speaker 1>what is Maller's objection? This is what you know? It's

0:40:50.719 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 1>not that it's inaccurate, right, so that that there's nothing

0:40:53.960 --> 0:40:56.799
<v Speaker 1>there's no point of fact that Bob Barr, Bill Barr.

0:40:56.840 --> 0:40:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I gotta make sure I don't do that that Bill

0:40:58.680 --> 0:41:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Barr got wrong. Well, then what is Muller talking about?

0:41:02.680 --> 0:41:06.799
<v Speaker 1>What is this? Oh? That the context and this and

0:41:06.880 --> 0:41:09.480
<v Speaker 1>that that didn't feel like it's so right? I mean,

0:41:09.560 --> 0:41:13.319
<v Speaker 1>is Muller you know, it sounds like he feels like

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:16.120
<v Speaker 1>he didn't get a fair shot doing an open call

0:41:16.200 --> 0:41:18.160
<v Speaker 1>for like an acting part or something. I mean, it

0:41:18.200 --> 0:41:21.399
<v Speaker 1>just seems like, what are you talking about, dude? Yeah, Well,

0:41:21.400 --> 0:41:25.200
<v Speaker 1>that's precisely it. What he consumed himself with, and I

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.239
<v Speaker 1>think what his staff was consumed with was writing a

0:41:28.360 --> 0:41:32.600
<v Speaker 1>narrative about collusion and obstruction that the press could pick

0:41:32.719 --> 0:41:36.840
<v Speaker 1>up on, and perhaps leaving a trail with a narrative

0:41:36.960 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 1>that Congress might be able to pick up on and

0:41:39.719 --> 0:41:44.359
<v Speaker 1>impeach the president with. What they were not content to do,

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:47.080
<v Speaker 1>which is what they were there for, is the job

0:41:47.080 --> 0:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>of prosecutors, which is, you know, was there enough evidence

0:41:50.960 --> 0:41:53.200
<v Speaker 1>to charge or was there not? And what I thought

0:41:53.560 --> 0:41:58.359
<v Speaker 1>buck was the most amazing and presumptuous thing about all

0:41:58.360 --> 0:42:01.360
<v Speaker 1>of this is that Muller did not do the job

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:04.759
<v Speaker 1>he was retained to do. This basically came to him

0:42:04.920 --> 0:42:08.040
<v Speaker 1>mainly as an obstruction case. He was brought on the

0:42:08.080 --> 0:42:12.200
<v Speaker 1>week that the FBI opened an obstruction investigation and the

0:42:12.200 --> 0:42:15.719
<v Speaker 1>president had fired Komey. It was pretty clear already by

0:42:15.760 --> 0:42:18.799
<v Speaker 1>then that there was no there there on collusion. So

0:42:18.840 --> 0:42:21.200
<v Speaker 1>this was teed up for Muller when he took the

0:42:21.280 --> 0:42:24.239
<v Speaker 1>case as an obstruction case, and the only thing we

0:42:24.400 --> 0:42:26.880
<v Speaker 1>arguably needed him for. I don't think we needed a

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:30.719
<v Speaker 1>special counsel, but for those who did, really the main

0:42:30.800 --> 0:42:33.520
<v Speaker 1>question for him to answer was was there enough evidence

0:42:33.560 --> 0:42:37.120
<v Speaker 1>to charge on obstruction or was there not? He wouldn't

0:42:37.160 --> 0:42:40.040
<v Speaker 1>do the job that he was retained to do. He

0:42:40.160 --> 0:42:43.319
<v Speaker 1>got criticized in the press, so that when it was

0:42:43.360 --> 0:42:46.440
<v Speaker 1>found out that he hadn't made a decision, that's what

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:49.399
<v Speaker 1>got him all in a snit, you know, the fact

0:42:49.400 --> 0:42:51.440
<v Speaker 1>that he was being criticized in the media for not

0:42:51.640 --> 0:42:54.600
<v Speaker 1>making the one decision that he was needed to make.

0:42:54.840 --> 0:42:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And then what he wants to do Buck is tell

0:42:57.080 --> 0:42:59.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody else how to do their job. So I always

0:43:00.040 --> 0:43:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it always drives me nuts with people who don't do

0:43:02.160 --> 0:43:05.160
<v Speaker 1>their own job to then tell the Attorney General how

0:43:05.520 --> 0:43:09.120
<v Speaker 1>he's supposed to handle the responsibilities that are actually imposed

0:43:09.160 --> 0:43:13.400
<v Speaker 1>on him, not on the special Council in the regulations.

0:43:13.239 --> 0:43:17.480
<v Speaker 1>As Barr said today, once Muller turned in his report,

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 1>he's done, and it's up to the Attorney General to

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:24.040
<v Speaker 1>decide whether the report gets released, how much of the

0:43:24.040 --> 0:43:28.160
<v Speaker 1>report gets released, and the form that that release takes.

0:43:28.600 --> 0:43:31.960
<v Speaker 1>And it's amazing to see Barr get criticized the way

0:43:31.960 --> 0:43:35.680
<v Speaker 1>he has been, when in point of fact, usually when

0:43:35.719 --> 0:43:38.839
<v Speaker 1>somebody doesn't get charged, the public and the Congress don't

0:43:38.840 --> 0:43:43.880
<v Speaker 1>get any information. And here Bar basically bent the rules

0:43:44.200 --> 0:43:46.560
<v Speaker 1>to put out what I think is like something like

0:43:46.680 --> 0:43:50.480
<v Speaker 1>ninety five of a four hundred and forty eight page

0:43:50.520 --> 0:43:57.360
<v Speaker 1>report against somebody who wasn't charged, right. I mean the objection,

0:43:57.400 --> 0:43:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and this came up a lot today in the hearing.

0:43:59.360 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 1>The objection is about what bar has done just seemed

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:04.440
<v Speaker 1>to be just un serious. I mean, this idea that

0:44:04.520 --> 0:44:08.560
<v Speaker 1>he two weeks before he released all the information, he

0:44:08.600 --> 0:44:10.920
<v Speaker 1>didn't do what Mueller wanted him to do. It's not

0:44:11.040 --> 0:44:17.600
<v Speaker 1>Mueller's call, and there's nothing he'd be right, I'm as

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:22.440
<v Speaker 1>far as Mueller's concerned. What the regulations provide is that

0:44:22.480 --> 0:44:27.240
<v Speaker 1>the special Counsel gives a confidential report to the Attorney General,

0:44:27.440 --> 0:44:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and then the special counsel is done. The special Council

0:44:30.200 --> 0:44:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is aligne prosecutor, you know, And what I mean by

0:44:32.920 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 1>that is an inferior officer or a subordinate official in

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the executive branch. He doesn't get to tell the Attorney

0:44:39.800 --> 0:44:43.480
<v Speaker 1>General what to do, and the and the regulations make

0:44:43.600 --> 0:44:48.000
<v Speaker 1>clear that it's up to the Attorney General to decide what,

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:52.040
<v Speaker 1>if any of the report gets put out and how

0:44:52.120 --> 0:44:54.640
<v Speaker 1>much of it. So, you know, I just think that,

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:58.080
<v Speaker 1>as you say, a lot of this is much ado

0:44:58.120 --> 0:45:01.680
<v Speaker 1>about nothing, especially when we now have the report and

0:45:01.719 --> 0:45:04.319
<v Speaker 1>we can read it for ourselves and what's the any

0:45:04.400 --> 0:45:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I saw you were speaking to Anni McCarthy, everybody Fox

0:45:06.760 --> 0:45:12.000
<v Speaker 1>News and National Review. You're heard of Muller as a diva,

0:45:12.280 --> 0:45:13.960
<v Speaker 1>which I appreciated by the way that I got a

0:45:14.040 --> 0:45:16.359
<v Speaker 1>chuckle out of that one. But I think I see

0:45:16.400 --> 0:45:18.759
<v Speaker 1>where you're going with it. And you know, what does

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:21.840
<v Speaker 1>this tell us about Mueller overall? I mean that he's

0:45:21.880 --> 0:45:25.120
<v Speaker 1>that he's writting this snitty letter that I think is

0:45:25.320 --> 0:45:31.400
<v Speaker 1>is just kind of intellectually indefensible about how the media know?

0:45:31.560 --> 0:45:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Why is he so concerned with the media coverage of this?

0:45:33.600 --> 0:45:37.600
<v Speaker 1>I thought Muller was the steely eyed professional, no politics here,

0:45:37.680 --> 0:45:40.040
<v Speaker 1>just the facts, ma'am. I mean all that stuff that

0:45:40.120 --> 0:45:41.880
<v Speaker 1>seems like a joke to me now, Andy, I mean

0:45:41.920 --> 0:45:45.000
<v Speaker 1>it has for quite some time. But I feel like, well,

0:45:45.000 --> 0:45:47.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, what do you take from what Muller has

0:45:47.200 --> 0:45:49.680
<v Speaker 1>done here and what should we take in terms of

0:45:50.280 --> 0:45:53.719
<v Speaker 1>who is really running this investigation against the president? Well,

0:45:53.760 --> 0:45:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it's the tactics of somebody who, Let's put

0:45:58.080 --> 0:46:01.560
<v Speaker 1>it this way, when Roger Stone was arrested, they sent

0:46:01.680 --> 0:46:06.200
<v Speaker 1>so many law enforcement vehicles to arrest this, uh, you know,

0:46:06.440 --> 0:46:10.680
<v Speaker 1>nearly seventy year old man in his bathrobe that CNN

0:46:10.719 --> 0:46:15.040
<v Speaker 1>almost couldn't find any place to park. You know, I mean,

0:46:15.040 --> 0:46:16.839
<v Speaker 1>this is this is this is a game that's been

0:46:16.840 --> 0:46:19.960
<v Speaker 1>played from the beginning. And what I have complained about

0:46:20.000 --> 0:46:24.680
<v Speaker 1>from the beginning is that the entire exercise was designed

0:46:24.719 --> 0:46:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to craft a narrative, not to bring charges. So for example,

0:46:28.360 --> 0:46:32.279
<v Speaker 1>if you look at the George Papadopolis case, uh, you

0:46:32.320 --> 0:46:35.840
<v Speaker 1>know what that should have been was a half a paragraph,

0:46:35.880 --> 0:46:38.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, honor, about such and such a date he

0:46:38.920 --> 0:46:41.680
<v Speaker 1>told a lie to the FBI to wit and then

0:46:41.719 --> 0:46:43.479
<v Speaker 1>you know that he should about the time of the meeting,

0:46:43.520 --> 0:46:46.279
<v Speaker 1>you cite the statute in and you're done. Instead, he

0:46:46.320 --> 0:46:50.480
<v Speaker 1>accompanies that with a fourteen page narrative statement that has

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of it's almost collusion. It feels like collusion.

0:46:53.840 --> 0:46:56.359
<v Speaker 1>Lots of Russians around, who knows what's going on here?

0:46:56.400 --> 0:46:57.840
<v Speaker 1>And then you flip to the end and it's a

0:46:57.880 --> 0:47:00.520
<v Speaker 1>process crime. And he did the same thing of Stone,

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:03.160
<v Speaker 1>and he did the same thing with Mike Flynn. All

0:47:03.200 --> 0:47:06.799
<v Speaker 1>of it has been about a long narrative, most of

0:47:06.840 --> 0:47:10.200
<v Speaker 1>which buck. If these cases were actually tried in court,

0:47:10.280 --> 0:47:14.600
<v Speaker 1>the court would have struck most of his factual recitations

0:47:14.640 --> 0:47:16.960
<v Speaker 1>as surplusage because they didn't have anything to do with

0:47:17.000 --> 0:47:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the charges that were brought, or they barely had anything

0:47:20.280 --> 0:47:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to do. So the whole exercise that we had seen

0:47:24.000 --> 0:47:26.640
<v Speaker 1>up until the time we saw his report was all

0:47:26.680 --> 0:47:31.960
<v Speaker 1>about telling this grand narrative at peppered occasionally with some

0:47:32.040 --> 0:47:36.080
<v Speaker 1>teeny tiny process charges. And why anybody thought his four

0:47:36.160 --> 0:47:38.480
<v Speaker 1>hundred and forty eight page report was going to be

0:47:38.520 --> 0:47:41.600
<v Speaker 1>any different from the way he had handled these indictments

0:47:41.880 --> 0:47:44.080
<v Speaker 1>when it was the same people doing the same thing,

0:47:44.160 --> 0:47:47.880
<v Speaker 1>writing the same charges, is beyond me. So he simply

0:47:47.920 --> 0:47:51.440
<v Speaker 1>did a bigger version in the report of what he

0:47:51.520 --> 0:47:54.680
<v Speaker 1>did all along, which was he tended to the narratives

0:47:54.880 --> 0:47:57.560
<v Speaker 1>and there was very little reason to have a prosecutor here.

0:47:58.080 --> 0:48:00.000
<v Speaker 1>And I just we're going to go to a quick

0:48:00.040 --> 0:48:01.920
<v Speaker 1>break everybody, but we'll bring Andy backing the side of

0:48:01.920 --> 0:48:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Andy real quick. The thing that the left and the

0:48:04.840 --> 0:48:07.880
<v Speaker 1>Democrats have really latched onto here is, oh, well, well

0:48:07.920 --> 0:48:10.920
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't bring charges against the president. Well then what

0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:12.640
<v Speaker 1>was all of this really You know, first of all,

0:48:12.800 --> 0:48:14.920
<v Speaker 1>is that even really true in a sense that couldn't

0:48:14.920 --> 0:48:17.719
<v Speaker 1>he have written we would we recommend charges and leave

0:48:17.719 --> 0:48:20.080
<v Speaker 1>it up to the OLC And the Department of Justice,

0:48:20.320 --> 0:48:22.400
<v Speaker 1>whether or not they act on that. I mean, is

0:48:22.440 --> 0:48:25.440
<v Speaker 1>there anything stopping him from writing that in his report. No,

0:48:25.640 --> 0:48:28.240
<v Speaker 1>that's exactly what would happened. But if he was taking

0:48:28.280 --> 0:48:30.879
<v Speaker 1>the position that there was no reason for me to

0:48:30.920 --> 0:48:35.600
<v Speaker 1>recommend charges because there's Office of Legal Counsel at the

0:48:35.640 --> 0:48:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department guidance that says a sitting president can't be charged,

0:48:40.000 --> 0:48:41.680
<v Speaker 1>then why did he take the case at all. He

0:48:41.680 --> 0:48:44.719
<v Speaker 1>should have just handed the investigative file back and said,

0:48:45.280 --> 0:48:47.120
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing for me to do here because the president

0:48:47.120 --> 0:48:49.960
<v Speaker 1>can't be charged. But that's not how it works. First

0:48:49.960 --> 0:48:52.840
<v Speaker 1>of all, the rule is not that the prosecute that

0:48:52.920 --> 0:48:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the president can never be charged. He can't be charged

0:48:56.600 --> 0:48:58.759
<v Speaker 1>while he is in office. So you still have to

0:48:58.800 --> 0:49:01.720
<v Speaker 1>do the investigation, and you still have to determine whether

0:49:01.760 --> 0:49:05.200
<v Speaker 1>the charges can be filed or not. The guidance is

0:49:05.239 --> 0:49:08.600
<v Speaker 1>not a reason not to do the investigation. And the

0:49:08.640 --> 0:49:11.560
<v Speaker 1>decision he was called on to make was not the

0:49:11.600 --> 0:49:15.239
<v Speaker 1>application of the OLC guidance. The decision he was called

0:49:15.239 --> 0:49:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to make was was there enough evidence to charge or

0:49:18.239 --> 0:49:20.680
<v Speaker 1>was there not. If he decided that there was enough

0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:22.840
<v Speaker 1>evidence to charge, then it would be up to the

0:49:22.920 --> 0:49:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department to decide whether to invoke the guidance and

0:49:26.760 --> 0:49:30.080
<v Speaker 1>direct the prosecute and not to return the charges. But

0:49:30.120 --> 0:49:34.120
<v Speaker 1>the case still has to be investigated. And again, it's

0:49:34.160 --> 0:49:36.839
<v Speaker 1>not that the president can never be charged, it's just

0:49:36.920 --> 0:49:39.840
<v Speaker 1>that he can't be charged while he's in office. So

0:49:40.440 --> 0:49:42.799
<v Speaker 1>the investigation still has to be done. It was on

0:49:42.920 --> 0:49:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Mueller to do it, and he's trying to make up

0:49:45.200 --> 0:49:48.040
<v Speaker 1>excuses for why he didn't do what he was retained

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:50.600
<v Speaker 1>to do. Is there any you know what? We're going

0:49:50.680 --> 0:49:52.719
<v Speaker 1>to come back with Annie McCarthy, your Natural Review and

0:49:52.719 --> 0:49:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Fox News contributor, Annie McCarthy, the man you want to

0:49:55.000 --> 0:49:56.640
<v Speaker 1>hear from all this stuff. We're going to come back

0:49:56.640 --> 0:49:58.879
<v Speaker 1>in just a moment. Team stay with me or We're

0:49:58.920 --> 0:50:02.120
<v Speaker 1>back with Annie McCarthy of National Review and and Fox

0:50:02.200 --> 0:50:05.560
<v Speaker 1>News contributor and somebody who's really been critical. His voice

0:50:05.560 --> 0:50:07.239
<v Speaker 1>has been critical on this issue, not just because the

0:50:07.239 --> 0:50:12.560
<v Speaker 1>President says so, it's been true. Andy, the is there

0:50:12.600 --> 0:50:14.720
<v Speaker 1>a we're talking about ulla right before we're in a break.

0:50:15.040 --> 0:50:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Is there a good faith defense of Mueller's hole? You know,

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we were kind of maybe thinking charges, but then didn't

0:50:23.200 --> 0:50:25.560
<v Speaker 1>do charges because there's a bunch of reasons but the

0:50:25.560 --> 0:50:28.120
<v Speaker 1>main reason is the Office of Legal Counsel the deal.

0:50:28.200 --> 0:50:30.080
<v Speaker 1>Jay says, we couldn't charge him. Is there a good

0:50:30.080 --> 0:50:33.360
<v Speaker 1>faith argument that I'm missing or is this just smearing

0:50:33.400 --> 0:50:36.279
<v Speaker 1>the president? Basically, no, it's not. It's not a good

0:50:36.320 --> 0:50:39.759
<v Speaker 1>faith There is no good faith argument. I mean, here, well,

0:50:40.320 --> 0:50:42.360
<v Speaker 1>let me tease out what I think is the only

0:50:42.440 --> 0:50:45.200
<v Speaker 1>relevant piece of this buck. And I still don't think

0:50:45.200 --> 0:50:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it does the trick. But let's let's bend over backwards

0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:52.359
<v Speaker 1>and see if we can't help here, right. Um, the

0:50:52.800 --> 0:50:59.840
<v Speaker 1>idea behind the guidance is that, um, if you charge

0:51:00.040 --> 0:51:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a sitting president, it is catastrophic for the country because

0:51:05.600 --> 0:51:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the president has to govern under a cloud, and he's

0:51:09.080 --> 0:51:12.360
<v Speaker 1>got to govern with these big distractions of trying to

0:51:12.360 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>defend himself from a criminal case. So the idea is

0:51:17.719 --> 0:51:22.879
<v Speaker 1>that you know, something that's serious, you know, we don't.

0:51:22.880 --> 0:51:26.000
<v Speaker 1>We don't want to burden the president with that under

0:51:26.040 --> 0:51:30.080
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances. And what he took that to mean was that,

0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:33.560
<v Speaker 1>in evaluating the evidence he had to bring to bear

0:51:34.080 --> 0:51:36.680
<v Speaker 1>with each call that he had to make the need

0:51:36.800 --> 0:51:42.640
<v Speaker 1>for having you know, absolutely serious, super duper. I'm sure

0:51:42.760 --> 0:51:46.319
<v Speaker 1>there's enough evidence here to charge and he was not

0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:51.000
<v Speaker 1>ready to make that call because of the hesitancy that

0:51:51.080 --> 0:51:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the guidance provided him, not saying that he couldn't charge

0:51:57.760 --> 0:52:00.920
<v Speaker 1>or could charge, but that he just raised it to

0:52:01.000 --> 0:52:05.920
<v Speaker 1>a different specter of seriousness. I mean, the argument is

0:52:05.960 --> 0:52:10.759
<v Speaker 1>so obtuse, it's actually difficult to articulate. And when you

0:52:10.800 --> 0:52:15.640
<v Speaker 1>get to the bottom line, Barr asked him, he testified,

0:52:15.640 --> 0:52:17.600
<v Speaker 1>and this is not the first time he's testified for this.

0:52:18.000 --> 0:52:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Barr asked him three times when they met, whether when

0:52:23.239 --> 0:52:25.120
<v Speaker 1>he told them that he was not going to make

0:52:25.120 --> 0:52:28.279
<v Speaker 1>a decision about obstruction. He was asked three times, is

0:52:28.320 --> 0:52:31.160
<v Speaker 1>that because of the OLC guidance? And he told the

0:52:31.160 --> 0:52:34.879
<v Speaker 1>Attorney General no, according to the Attorney General testimony, So

0:52:34.920 --> 0:52:38.080
<v Speaker 1>he didn't return the charges because, however he wants to

0:52:38.160 --> 0:52:40.839
<v Speaker 1>dress it up, he couldn't bring himself to say that

0:52:40.880 --> 0:52:43.400
<v Speaker 1>there was evidence that you could prove beyond a reasonable

0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:47.080
<v Speaker 1>doubt that there was an obstruction crime. Here again important

0:52:47.080 --> 0:52:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to underscore here, that doesn't mean the conduct was good.

0:52:51.480 --> 0:52:54.480
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't mean that the public, in evaluating the conduct,

0:52:54.600 --> 0:52:59.200
<v Speaker 1>might come away saying, Okay, maybe not a crime, but

0:52:59.239 --> 0:53:01.840
<v Speaker 1>this is not really what I want out of my president.

0:53:02.840 --> 0:53:04.680
<v Speaker 1>It's not no one is saying that this is not

0:53:04.760 --> 0:53:07.080
<v Speaker 1>something that, as Bar said today, we're going to have.

0:53:07.320 --> 0:53:10.319
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have an election in eighteen months. And if

0:53:10.320 --> 0:53:13.560
<v Speaker 1>people look at this and they want to go yuck, I,

0:53:13.880 --> 0:53:15.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, no matter how good the policy is, this

0:53:15.920 --> 0:53:17.680
<v Speaker 1>is not the guy I want in the White House,

0:53:17.880 --> 0:53:19.560
<v Speaker 1>then the president is going to have to live with that.

0:53:19.880 --> 0:53:23.080
<v Speaker 1>So no one is endorsing this conduct. But the point

0:53:23.160 --> 0:53:27.400
<v Speaker 1>simply is a prosecutor's job is to decide, as he

0:53:27.440 --> 0:53:30.200
<v Speaker 1>put as Bar put it today, the binary choice there

0:53:30.280 --> 0:53:33.680
<v Speaker 1>is enough evidence to charge or there's not. And ordinarily,

0:53:33.719 --> 0:53:36.600
<v Speaker 1>if there's not enough evidence to charge, you shut up.

0:53:37.040 --> 0:53:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Because the idea is, we don't want the Justice Department

0:53:40.719 --> 0:53:45.400
<v Speaker 1>tanking people who are presumed innocent under the Constitution, unless

0:53:45.719 --> 0:53:48.640
<v Speaker 1>you're going to formally charge them, in which case they

0:53:48.680 --> 0:53:51.640
<v Speaker 1>get all the protections of the Constitution to defend themselves.

0:53:51.600 --> 0:53:54.480
<v Speaker 1>They get they get, you know, assistance to counsel, they

0:53:54.520 --> 0:53:56.680
<v Speaker 1>get the right to confront witnesses, they get a right

0:53:56.719 --> 0:53:59.080
<v Speaker 1>to put on a defense. What we don't want the

0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:01.759
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department doing is saying, all right, we're not going

0:54:01.760 --> 0:54:04.000
<v Speaker 1>to charge you, and then they smear you with all

0:54:04.000 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the evidence and then how do you confront that? How

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:08.640
<v Speaker 1>do you know? What do you do in that circumstance.

0:54:08.960 --> 0:54:11.399
<v Speaker 1>So that's the point, and he is Bill Is Bill

0:54:11.440 --> 0:54:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Barr the best guy that really Trump could have in

0:54:13.560 --> 0:54:15.080
<v Speaker 1>this role right now? Because I had to say, I

0:54:15.080 --> 0:54:17.880
<v Speaker 1>thought the way he handled that hearing today, they couldn't

0:54:17.920 --> 0:54:20.319
<v Speaker 1>lay a glove on him. Yeah, I think he'd be

0:54:20.360 --> 0:54:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the best guy under any circumstances. Buck. I mean, the

0:54:24.040 --> 0:54:27.319
<v Speaker 1>thing to remember with Barr is number one, he's done

0:54:27.360 --> 0:54:32.160
<v Speaker 1>this job before. Number Two, he's I think he's very scrupulous,

0:54:32.160 --> 0:54:35.840
<v Speaker 1>but he's smart, and he's savvy, and he knows Washington.

0:54:36.640 --> 0:54:40.839
<v Speaker 1>And most importantly for these purposes, he knows two things

0:54:40.880 --> 0:54:44.080
<v Speaker 1>that not all attorneys general. No. I mean, first of all,

0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:47.720
<v Speaker 1>as far as the law is concerned, he was before

0:54:47.719 --> 0:54:50.880
<v Speaker 1>he was the attorney general under the first President Bush,

0:54:50.880 --> 0:54:52.840
<v Speaker 1>he was the head of the Office of Legal Counsel.

0:54:53.160 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Those are the lawyers, lawyers in the Justice Department who

0:54:55.719 --> 0:55:00.400
<v Speaker 1>make policies, the best lawyers in the government going that job.

0:55:00.719 --> 0:55:04.840
<v Speaker 1>And secondly, before he was a prosecutor, before he was

0:55:04.840 --> 0:55:08.400
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer, he worked at the CIA, so he understands

0:55:08.440 --> 0:55:12.200
<v Speaker 1>the counterintelligence mission of the Justice Department. I think in

0:55:12.200 --> 0:55:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a way that is unique among at least in recent times,

0:55:16.800 --> 0:55:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the attorney generals we've had served, and we've had a

0:55:19.160 --> 0:55:21.520
<v Speaker 1>number of very good attorneys general. I just don't think

0:55:21.560 --> 0:55:25.359
<v Speaker 1>they've got that. Yeah, So he is. He is the man,

0:55:25.480 --> 0:55:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the man for this job at this time. Annie McCarthy

0:55:28.200 --> 0:55:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is the man for this interview in this topic at

0:55:30.040 --> 0:55:32.719
<v Speaker 1>this time though, Annie McCarthy, everybody, Fox News and Natural Review.

0:55:32.760 --> 0:55:35.200
<v Speaker 1>Andy always illuminating, my friend. Thank you for making the

0:55:35.200 --> 0:55:37.160
<v Speaker 1>time for us. Thanks so much, Buck, I have a

0:55:37.160 --> 0:55:40.000
<v Speaker 1>good one, All right, team, we'll be right back. Investigation

0:55:40.040 --> 0:55:43.880
<v Speaker 1>into the Trump campaign began on July thirty first, twenty sixteen,

0:55:44.280 --> 0:55:48.040
<v Speaker 1>after a foreign government contact at the FBI about comments

0:55:48.080 --> 0:55:51.680
<v Speaker 1>made by George Papadopolis. Is that accurate or were there

0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:54.799
<v Speaker 1>other precipitating events that helped lead to this. That is

0:55:54.840 --> 0:55:57.640
<v Speaker 1>the account that has been given in the past as

0:55:57.640 --> 0:56:01.040
<v Speaker 1>to how it got Cohen, you've previously said that you

0:56:01.080 --> 0:56:05.279
<v Speaker 1>think it's possible that the Federal Bureau of Investigation improperly

0:56:05.360 --> 0:56:08.240
<v Speaker 1>spied on the Trump campaign. I assume that's a reference

0:56:09.080 --> 0:56:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to the FISA warrant for Carter Page. Is that what

0:56:12.960 --> 0:56:14.880
<v Speaker 1>you have in mind? Or there are other circumstances that

0:56:14.880 --> 0:56:17.280
<v Speaker 1>you've got in mind. There many people seem to assume

0:56:18.520 --> 0:56:25.800
<v Speaker 1>that the only intelligence collection that occurred was a single

0:56:27.440 --> 0:56:33.240
<v Speaker 1>confidential informant and a FISA warrant. I'd like to find

0:56:33.280 --> 0:56:37.280
<v Speaker 1>out whether that is in fact true. This is the

0:56:37.360 --> 0:56:43.440
<v Speaker 1>biggest single moment, in my opinion, of the entire show

0:56:43.520 --> 0:56:46.000
<v Speaker 1>trial they put on today for the Attorney General on

0:56:46.080 --> 0:56:50.560
<v Speaker 1>Capitol Hill. But this is the most important thing that

0:56:50.680 --> 0:56:54.960
<v Speaker 1>we all need to be aware of and be prepared

0:56:55.000 --> 0:56:59.719
<v Speaker 1>to get some answers about. And that is what started

0:57:00.760 --> 0:57:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the whole Russia collusion fiasco. What was the true origin

0:57:07.120 --> 0:57:09.919
<v Speaker 1>of it? We had, as you who listened to the show,

0:57:09.960 --> 0:57:13.200
<v Speaker 1>no George Papadopolis on for an hour last week telling

0:57:13.239 --> 0:57:17.120
<v Speaker 1>us about his story and how this just doesn't add

0:57:17.240 --> 0:57:21.600
<v Speaker 1>up that they would start an FBI full field investigation

0:57:22.520 --> 0:57:26.960
<v Speaker 1>based upon the kind of contacts that Papadopopolis had and

0:57:27.080 --> 0:57:31.040
<v Speaker 1>how those contacts came to be, Who who originated them,

0:57:31.040 --> 0:57:34.560
<v Speaker 1>Who came up with this as an idea that should

0:57:34.640 --> 0:57:39.439
<v Speaker 1>that should receive government resources and attention. You know, when

0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:42.760
<v Speaker 1>did all this happen? How did all this happen? And

0:57:42.920 --> 0:57:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that we got into this mess of the Russia collusion,

0:57:48.080 --> 0:57:51.920
<v Speaker 1>delusion because of Papadopolis and Carter Page, and that is

0:57:51.920 --> 0:57:56.680
<v Speaker 1>what the biggest media outlets in the country were feeding

0:57:56.680 --> 0:57:59.120
<v Speaker 1>the American people. I mean, that's what we were being told.

0:58:00.080 --> 0:58:05.520
<v Speaker 1>That is absolute bullcrap. It's just bullcrap. There's no way,

0:58:06.440 --> 0:58:10.360
<v Speaker 1>there's no way that that alone was enough to get

0:58:10.400 --> 0:58:13.800
<v Speaker 1>all of this going. And there is absolutely no way

0:58:14.200 --> 0:58:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that the conversations that Papadopoulos was having with different individuals

0:58:19.840 --> 0:58:23.760
<v Speaker 1>somehow just magically made their way onto the radar of

0:58:24.240 --> 0:58:30.120
<v Speaker 1>the FBI and American intelligence services, and they really took

0:58:30.120 --> 0:58:32.240
<v Speaker 1>this as some kind of a national security threat worthy

0:58:32.280 --> 0:58:40.440
<v Speaker 1>of a counterintelligence investigation. It just doesn't add up. It

0:58:40.600 --> 0:58:44.040
<v Speaker 1>does not add up. And that's why there's such a frenzy,

0:58:44.120 --> 0:58:49.640
<v Speaker 1>an absolute frenzy to undermine the attorney General. They've got

0:58:49.680 --> 0:58:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a formidable I mean, we were just talking to Andy

0:58:51.600 --> 0:58:55.040
<v Speaker 1>about this. They've got a formidable opponent the left, the damns,

0:58:55.120 --> 0:59:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the anti Trump radicals, formidable opponent in Bill Barr. This

0:59:01.040 --> 0:59:08.120
<v Speaker 1>guy is a legal superstar. He understands these laws better

0:59:08.160 --> 0:59:11.200
<v Speaker 1>than all of the members of Congress. He understands the

0:59:11.280 --> 0:59:13.840
<v Speaker 1>dj better than all the members of Congress who were

0:59:15.160 --> 0:59:18.240
<v Speaker 1>questioning him. Today, including the Republicans. By the way, I mean,

0:59:18.720 --> 0:59:22.800
<v Speaker 1>he's as sound and adept a legal mind as you

0:59:22.840 --> 0:59:26.560
<v Speaker 1>will find anywhere. And so what do they do what

0:59:26.640 --> 0:59:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the left always does, cry, whine, complain, and attack, attack,

0:59:34.080 --> 0:59:38.680
<v Speaker 1>attack attack. That's where bro Cuomo comes in. Hey, you

0:59:38.760 --> 0:59:41.840
<v Speaker 1>got a law degree. Where's bro Cuomo's law degree from?

0:59:42.000 --> 0:59:43.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, I got on the back of a crack

0:59:43.560 --> 0:59:48.960
<v Speaker 1>a jackbox Cuomo style. He said things like this about

0:59:49.080 --> 0:59:52.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the most esteemed and skilled lawyers to hold

0:59:52.720 --> 0:59:56.920
<v Speaker 1>the attorney general position in my lifetime. This is how

0:59:57.040 --> 1:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>CNN's newest star anchor, despite their thirty percent drop in

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:07.520
<v Speaker 1>ratings recently. That's right, twenty six I think was the

1:00:07.520 --> 1:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>official number. Here's how bro Cuomo talks about actual legal

1:00:11.520 --> 1:00:15.320
<v Speaker 1>mind and not make believe legal mind Bill Barr PLI

1:00:15.320 --> 1:00:18.520
<v Speaker 1>clip five. But it shows that this ag has been

1:00:18.560 --> 1:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>an agent for the president more than for the American

1:00:21.240 --> 1:00:23.960
<v Speaker 1>people or a political hack. You just want to be

1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:28.160
<v Speaker 1>that blunt about it, a political hack, a kinder word,

1:00:28.200 --> 1:00:32.080
<v Speaker 1>would be a mercenary for the president. You don't have

1:00:32.160 --> 1:00:35.320
<v Speaker 1>to be a lawyer to understand why William Barr got

1:00:35.360 --> 1:00:38.040
<v Speaker 1>this job, how he auditioned for it, how he conducted

1:00:38.120 --> 1:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>himself during the hearings, and how he conducted himself at

1:00:41.000 --> 1:00:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the initial press conference with the letter and the second

1:00:44.080 --> 1:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>press conference. He tried to shape the narrative. Everything that

1:00:47.200 --> 1:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>we had been reporting about this letter and the ag

1:00:50.800 --> 1:00:53.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to shape the narrative has turned out to be true.

1:00:55.040 --> 1:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Cuomo and Lemon are morons, So start with that. Also.

1:01:00.040 --> 1:01:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I love Lemon saying a kinder word than Hack would

1:01:02.560 --> 1:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>be a mercenary. I don't know if that's kinder. I

1:01:06.120 --> 1:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>don't know if Lemon knows what a mercenary is, but

1:01:08.800 --> 1:01:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say that that's a kinder word. But the

1:01:12.120 --> 1:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>things that they're saying about about Bill Barr, No, there's

1:01:14.400 --> 1:01:18.800
<v Speaker 1>no meat on the bone here. They don't explain what

1:01:19.080 --> 1:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>justifies these comments, these assessments of Barr. They just know

1:01:24.120 --> 1:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>that Barr isn't going to bow to the public pressure.

1:01:28.920 --> 1:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>That Bar doesn't care what the New York Times editorial

1:01:31.720 --> 1:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>page says about him, doesn't care what the you know,

1:01:35.320 --> 1:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the network CNN and MSNBC, and you know what they're

1:01:38.880 --> 1:01:41.479
<v Speaker 1>saying about him night after night on TV. He knows

1:01:41.480 --> 1:01:43.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened here. Bar is not a fool. He's been

1:01:43.720 --> 1:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in this game for decades. The Democrat left got caught

1:01:47.800 --> 1:01:50.640
<v Speaker 1>with their hands in the cookie jar. They thought they

1:01:50.640 --> 1:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>could override the will of the American people with a

1:01:54.120 --> 1:01:58.640
<v Speaker 1>deep state media coup to get rid of Trump, and

1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it failed. And now they're bitter about it. They're angry

1:02:02.280 --> 1:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>about it. They don't think that this is something that

1:02:06.480 --> 1:02:09.920
<v Speaker 1>should be allowed to stand. They want to get another shot.

1:02:10.000 --> 1:02:11.840
<v Speaker 1>They want to use the Attorney General for the State

1:02:11.880 --> 1:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>of New York, or they want to use some spinoff

1:02:14.400 --> 1:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>investigation from Muller. If you want to talk about an

1:02:18.160 --> 1:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>agent for somebody or a partisan hack, look no further

1:02:22.040 --> 1:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>than Bob Oh He's such a saint Muller with his

1:02:25.800 --> 1:02:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the way that the press was reporting

1:02:28.040 --> 1:02:30.840
<v Speaker 1>on the letter that Barr wrote about my very important

1:02:30.840 --> 1:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>report that I wrote so that Congress can impeach the president.

1:02:36.520 --> 1:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>Mueller's a hack, Mueller's an agent for the Democrats. Muller

1:02:41.640 --> 1:02:43.840
<v Speaker 1>might as well be walking around with a Hillary twenty

1:02:43.880 --> 1:02:47.120
<v Speaker 1>sixteen button on his shirt. As far as I'm concerned,

1:02:48.360 --> 1:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>he has showed us this. He has shown us he's

1:02:54.000 --> 1:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>not a man of character in this situation, that he

1:02:56.520 --> 1:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>is not a man of integrity and honor and I

1:02:58.640 --> 1:03:02.400
<v Speaker 1>can point to why, unlike bro Cuomo and Don Lemon

1:03:03.320 --> 1:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Monsieur Don Lemon, I can cite chapter and verse what Mueller.

1:03:08.480 --> 1:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>First of all, what we were just talking about. Muller

1:03:11.120 --> 1:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make a decision, that's his job. Why didn't he

1:03:13.960 --> 1:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>make a decision because he would have lost on the

1:03:16.240 --> 1:03:20.720
<v Speaker 1>merits folks, better to leave it open. You know. This

1:03:20.840 --> 1:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>is like the guy that's going to try out for

1:03:22.680 --> 1:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the varsity team and then says, oh, no, I'm not

1:03:26.080 --> 1:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>going to try out, and then just goes around telling

1:03:28.600 --> 1:03:30.800
<v Speaker 1>everybody I would have made the team, but I didn't try.

1:03:31.720 --> 1:03:34.880
<v Speaker 1>That's what Mueller's doing here with impeaching, with the prosecuting

1:03:34.880 --> 1:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>the president. Well, I would have prosecuted the president, but

1:03:37.440 --> 1:03:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I didn't go for it, So now he leaves it

1:03:39.800 --> 1:03:44.720
<v Speaker 1>to Congress. It's a slimy, underhanded tactic. Okay, that's being

1:03:44.760 --> 1:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>an agent for the other side. That's being a political hack.

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Threatening George Papadopoulos's wife, telling George Popadopoulos's wife that she

1:03:56.520 --> 1:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>should leave George because what he's going to get too

1:04:00.000 --> 1:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>weeks in a minimum security country club prison for lying

1:04:03.440 --> 1:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>about a non crime, sending a swat team that looks

1:04:09.600 --> 1:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's ready to take on, you know, the Sinaloa

1:04:12.560 --> 1:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>cartel on their home turf, sending them in to go

1:04:15.080 --> 1:04:18.720
<v Speaker 1>get Roger Stone. They could have called Roger Stone at

1:04:18.760 --> 1:04:22.240
<v Speaker 1>his home and said, hey, Roger, take off the silk pajamas,

1:04:22.480 --> 1:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>throw on a pinstripe suit. We'll see you in half

1:04:24.800 --> 1:04:28.240
<v Speaker 1>an hour, please come down. Guaranteed Roger Stone would have

1:04:28.240 --> 1:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>turned himself in, no foss, no muss, It would have

1:04:31.000 --> 1:04:34.200
<v Speaker 1>showed up. No serious person believes otherwise you're gonna send

1:04:34.240 --> 1:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>a pre dawn raid to his home. Oh and CNN

1:04:38.000 --> 1:04:40.920
<v Speaker 1>just happened to be there. I wonder does Muller get

1:04:40.960 --> 1:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a check send to him from CNN for all the

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>good work he's done for them, or does they have

1:04:45.320 --> 1:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>to wait a little bit, Let let the heat die down.

1:04:49.040 --> 1:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Talk about being a political hack, please, Andrew Weissman of

1:04:53.640 --> 1:04:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the Muller team is a political hack. Genie Rie of

1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>the Muller Team's a political hack, and Mueller's the biggest

1:04:58.560 --> 1:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>hack of all. Go back and look at what happened

1:05:02.640 --> 1:05:06.280
<v Speaker 1>at the FBI with the anthrax investigation on mother's watch,

1:05:06.880 --> 1:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>destroyed an innocent person. Mother's not a good guy, folks,

1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And we're seeing a lot of this at the very

1:05:15.000 --> 1:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>top reaches the very most important positions in the national

1:05:20.640 --> 1:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>security apparatus of this country, people who should not have

1:05:25.720 --> 1:05:31.280
<v Speaker 1>had the power they had. Komi Muller, McCabe, Brennan Clapper,

1:05:31.880 --> 1:05:37.680
<v Speaker 1>Sally Yates, Lauretta Lynch. These are not good people, They're

1:05:37.720 --> 1:05:43.959
<v Speaker 1>not ethical people. They were playing dirty political games, using

1:05:43.960 --> 1:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>their positions in power and really hurting people along the way.

1:05:49.440 --> 1:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>And where is the accountability for all this? Where is

1:05:54.920 --> 1:05:58.600
<v Speaker 1>any sense that this would not happen again? I can't

1:05:58.640 --> 1:06:02.600
<v Speaker 1>tell you we've reached that yet, despite the fact that

1:06:02.640 --> 1:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they were not able to finish off this presidency with

1:06:07.080 --> 1:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>the Muller probe, which was a disaster from the start.

1:06:09.840 --> 1:06:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I knew it. I said it on the show. Never

1:06:11.760 --> 1:06:15.320
<v Speaker 1>should have been allowed to happen from day one. Jeff

1:06:15.360 --> 1:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Sessions was wrong not to fight harder on this one.

1:06:19.560 --> 1:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Sessions was wrong to get steamrolled by the deep

1:06:22.920 --> 1:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>state left in the media, and he did. And I

1:06:25.360 --> 1:06:28.320
<v Speaker 1>think Jeff's a good guy and an honest guy, but

1:06:28.440 --> 1:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>he was not ready for this street fight and he

1:06:30.840 --> 1:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>got got. We are up against very determined political enemies

1:06:38.000 --> 1:06:40.120
<v Speaker 1>that do not play fair, that do not care about

1:06:40.120 --> 1:06:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the rules. They have been able to use processes to

1:06:47.160 --> 1:06:50.480
<v Speaker 1>slow down this president, to harm this president those around him.

1:06:51.040 --> 1:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>I want payback. I want retribution and I want people

1:06:56.280 --> 1:07:01.960
<v Speaker 1>that abused government power to pay the price for the games,

1:07:02.280 --> 1:07:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the games that they thought they'd get away with. Also

1:07:05.640 --> 1:07:09.440
<v Speaker 1>they could help Hillary win. What a disgrace. We'll be

1:07:09.560 --> 1:07:12.000
<v Speaker 1>right back. I got a piece that just broke that

1:07:12.080 --> 1:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you all about, one that I'm

1:07:14.960 --> 1:07:17.120
<v Speaker 1>sure is going to get a lot of attention and

1:07:17.520 --> 1:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>perhaps put some Democrats on edge. Nellie Or's high honey

1:07:22.640 --> 1:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>emails to d o J about Russia collusion should alarm

1:07:27.400 --> 1:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>us all. The author is my colleague and boss over

1:07:31.800 --> 1:07:34.960
<v Speaker 1>at The Hill, John Solomon, who was an investigative journalists

1:07:34.960 --> 1:07:37.960
<v Speaker 1>who also is executive vice president for Digital at Hill TV,

1:07:38.840 --> 1:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>where I work on this show Morning in Rising rather

1:07:42.400 --> 1:07:45.040
<v Speaker 1>in the Morning, John, thanks so much for joining. I

1:07:45.200 --> 1:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>tell us about the high honey emails you write about

1:07:47.920 --> 1:07:50.120
<v Speaker 1>here on the Hill dot com. What did Nellie Or

1:07:50.240 --> 1:07:52.680
<v Speaker 1>get herself into? Yeah, this is going to be an

1:07:52.720 --> 1:07:55.640
<v Speaker 1>interesting development because if you remember about eight nine months ago,

1:07:55.680 --> 1:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>she testified on Capitol Hill and when she was asked

1:07:58.160 --> 1:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>in her testimony, why we're working for Fusion GPS. That's

1:08:01.680 --> 1:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the Christopher Steele firm. That's the Hillary Clinton firm, the

1:08:04.320 --> 1:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>DNC firm that did all of the Russia dirt digging

1:08:07.200 --> 1:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>on Donald Trump, assembled it into the dossier. He just

1:08:10.200 --> 1:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>spread it around Washington and got the investigation started. While

1:08:13.600 --> 1:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>you were working for that firm, did you share any

1:08:15.880 --> 1:08:19.960
<v Speaker 1>of your Russia research with anyone beside your husband, the

1:08:20.000 --> 1:08:24.599
<v Speaker 1>Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Orb, Christopher Steel or Fusion

1:08:24.640 --> 1:08:27.960
<v Speaker 1>And she answered no. And now we have pretty clear

1:08:28.000 --> 1:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>evidence that she sent a total of three hundred and

1:08:31.200 --> 1:08:34.639
<v Speaker 1>thirty nine pages worth of email and research to DJ

1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:38.639
<v Speaker 1>email accounts, sometimes to her husband, other times to three

1:08:38.680 --> 1:08:42.639
<v Speaker 1>of his colleagues in the International Criminal Prosecution Division. So

1:08:42.920 --> 1:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>she was spreading around things like the discovery of the

1:08:47.000 --> 1:08:49.880
<v Speaker 1>Paul Manafort ledger in Ukraine that obviously was dirt that

1:08:50.200 --> 1:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>would stick to Manafort and Trump. She sent articles that

1:08:53.439 --> 1:08:57.839
<v Speaker 1>highlighted Carter Page going to Moscow and giving the famous

1:08:57.880 --> 1:09:00.320
<v Speaker 1>speech there and then suggesting he had a connection to

1:09:00.400 --> 1:09:03.000
<v Speaker 1>gas problem. As you know, that became a big part

1:09:03.040 --> 1:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>of the feisal warm. She then sent around articles about

1:09:06.720 --> 1:09:12.360
<v Speaker 1>the Russian ambassador Sergey Kissiak attending in the audience that

1:09:12.479 --> 1:09:15.080
<v Speaker 1>Donald Trump gave a foreign policy speech. Well, it was

1:09:15.120 --> 1:09:18.000
<v Speaker 1>that attendance that ultimately led Jeff Sessions to have to

1:09:18.040 --> 1:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>recuse himself from the Russian investigation because he was in

1:09:21.000 --> 1:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>the audience and the same audience with the ambassador Kissiac.

1:09:26.400 --> 1:09:29.519
<v Speaker 1>So all of this, she's using her marital privilege, her

1:09:29.640 --> 1:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>marital backdoor with Bruce Or to get this information into

1:09:33.080 --> 1:09:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department. And I think it raises two questions.

1:09:35.439 --> 1:09:38.799
<v Speaker 1>One a question of conflict of interest. Should a spouse

1:09:38.840 --> 1:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>on the payroll of a political candidate be allowed to

1:09:41.200 --> 1:09:45.080
<v Speaker 1>use her husband's connections to flow information into the Justice Department?

1:09:45.439 --> 1:09:48.599
<v Speaker 1>And two? Did she give accurate testimony? Was that answer

1:09:48.680 --> 1:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>she gave accurate in light of the emails that we found.

1:09:52.000 --> 1:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>You got three hundred and thirty nine pages of emails.

1:09:54.560 --> 1:09:57.839
<v Speaker 1>It's a lot of stuff she was sending, very partisan,

1:09:57.920 --> 1:10:01.640
<v Speaker 1>very edgy, very anti Trump. And I think there are

1:10:01.680 --> 1:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>some members of Congress, Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan among them,

1:10:05.080 --> 1:10:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that are now raising questions about the actor of her testimony.

1:10:08.240 --> 1:10:10.200
<v Speaker 1>In fact, I'd keep an eye out tonight to see

1:10:10.200 --> 1:10:13.360
<v Speaker 1>if they make a decision on sending a referral to

1:10:13.360 --> 1:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the Justice Department. On this matter. So Nellie or may

1:10:16.320 --> 1:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>have lied under owe to Congress. Effectively, she may have

1:10:18.600 --> 1:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>committed the crime that is. That is the concern that

1:10:21.479 --> 1:10:24.360
<v Speaker 1>these emails clearly raised, and she deserves the benefit of

1:10:24.400 --> 1:10:27.280
<v Speaker 1>doubt and ton investigations done. But when you look at

1:10:28.000 --> 1:10:30.439
<v Speaker 1>the volume of what she was sending and what she

1:10:30.560 --> 1:10:33.360
<v Speaker 1>was sending, it's clearly the sort of Russia research that

1:10:33.439 --> 1:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>Fusion GPS was doing. In fact, she identified her her

1:10:36.720 --> 1:10:40.519
<v Speaker 1>testimony very specific people she was researching to Oligarch's name,

1:10:41.200 --> 1:10:46.360
<v Speaker 1>dry Posca and ronat Osmet Both of their names show

1:10:46.439 --> 1:10:48.679
<v Speaker 1>up in the research that was sent to the Justice Department.

1:10:48.920 --> 1:10:51.720
<v Speaker 1>She talks about how she was trying to find any

1:10:51.720 --> 1:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>connection between Donald Trump and organized crime, any article she found,

1:10:55.720 --> 1:10:59.759
<v Speaker 1>any think tank stuff she found that even remotely connected

1:10:59.760 --> 1:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>down Trump to Russia. It was being sent to the

1:11:02.880 --> 1:11:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Justice Department. So when you take her own words and

1:11:05.680 --> 1:11:08.400
<v Speaker 1>you're then compared to the emails, it looks like the

1:11:08.520 --> 1:11:11.760
<v Speaker 1>very thing she was researching for Fusion GPS he was

1:11:11.800 --> 1:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>sending to the Justice Department. And that's something that she

1:11:14.720 --> 1:11:18.679
<v Speaker 1>did not acknowledge in her testimony. Effects she emphatically stated

1:11:18.760 --> 1:11:22.400
<v Speaker 1>no when asked if she shared it outside of Fusion GPS.

1:11:22.400 --> 1:11:25.680
<v Speaker 1>So I would expect people like medals in Jordan on

1:11:26.040 --> 1:11:29.160
<v Speaker 1>these oversight committees to make a decision soon on whether

1:11:29.160 --> 1:11:32.600
<v Speaker 1>they asked the Justice Department to investigator testimony. And do

1:11:32.640 --> 1:11:36.960
<v Speaker 1>we have any sense of whether these DOJ officials took

1:11:37.000 --> 1:11:39.960
<v Speaker 1>specific action based on any other things she sent or

1:11:40.000 --> 1:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>do we know if they responded to either other people

1:11:42.320 --> 1:11:44.800
<v Speaker 1>in DJ about it or to her directly. Do we

1:11:44.840 --> 1:11:47.679
<v Speaker 1>just have any visibility of that yet? Great question. Well,

1:11:47.680 --> 1:11:49.559
<v Speaker 1>there are a series of emails that have really caught

1:11:49.600 --> 1:11:53.360
<v Speaker 1>the Congressional Investigator's attention. Keep in mind Congress didn't have

1:11:53.400 --> 1:11:57.240
<v Speaker 1>access to these emails. They only came out under FOYA

1:11:57.320 --> 1:11:59.760
<v Speaker 1>just a few weeks ago through Judicial Watch, and I

1:11:59.760 --> 1:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think their significance is only being discovered now. But in

1:12:03.720 --> 1:12:07.519
<v Speaker 1>March and April, some of the prosecutors in the Justice Department,

1:12:07.800 --> 1:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>specifically those based on my earlier reporting, who are working

1:12:11.280 --> 1:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>on a very specific Russian oligarch targeting program, there was

1:12:14.800 --> 1:12:17.599
<v Speaker 1>an effort to recruit Russian oligarchs to find out what

1:12:17.640 --> 1:12:20.280
<v Speaker 1>they knew about Pewton and what they knew about Trump

1:12:20.280 --> 1:12:24.120
<v Speaker 1>and other other things. Those oligarcs included too that Nellie

1:12:24.160 --> 1:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>was researching Oligdara Poska and Renat ashmed it. For some reason,

1:12:30.280 --> 1:12:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Or's colleagues, he's the Associate Deputy Ury General, pretty

1:12:33.160 --> 1:12:36.000
<v Speaker 1>high ranking in the Justice Department. They asked for permission

1:12:36.360 --> 1:12:39.120
<v Speaker 1>in the National Crime Division to reach out to his

1:12:39.160 --> 1:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>wife and get some information. And they start sending emails.

1:12:42.120 --> 1:12:44.080
<v Speaker 1>You're such an expert, we want to talk to Ennis.

1:12:44.120 --> 1:12:45.840
<v Speaker 1>I think we could benefit from both of us can

1:12:45.880 --> 1:12:48.960
<v Speaker 1>benefit from the contact. So there's not only Nellie Or

1:12:49.200 --> 1:12:53.639
<v Speaker 1>flowing her information or outbound to the Justice Department. At

1:12:53.720 --> 1:12:56.600
<v Speaker 1>some point the Justice Department comes in and ask for

1:12:56.680 --> 1:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>her help. Now what they asked for is highly redacted,

1:12:59.560 --> 1:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>so we can't see the full amount. But what I've

1:13:02.080 --> 1:13:04.479
<v Speaker 1>been told from my reporting is it specifically dealt with

1:13:04.479 --> 1:13:07.479
<v Speaker 1>the Russian oliguard program. So you got a Hillary Clinton

1:13:07.520 --> 1:13:11.160
<v Speaker 1>paid researcher now working on the Justice Department on a

1:13:11.200 --> 1:13:13.840
<v Speaker 1>program that has an intersection with Donald Trump. It's why

1:13:13.880 --> 1:13:16.879
<v Speaker 1>those conflict alarm bells are going off in some members minds.

1:13:17.439 --> 1:13:20.799
<v Speaker 1>Nellie Or's high honey emails to DJ about Russia collusion

1:13:20.840 --> 1:13:22.920
<v Speaker 1>should alarm us. All that is the piece. It is

1:13:23.000 --> 1:13:26.439
<v Speaker 1>up on the Hill dot Com right now. Also checkout

1:13:26.479 --> 1:13:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Hill dot TV in the mornings. Sure you'll see not

1:13:29.479 --> 1:13:32.120
<v Speaker 1>just me, but also John in the near future talking

1:13:32.120 --> 1:13:34.800
<v Speaker 1>about this piece. John Solomon, everybody, John, thanks so much.

1:13:35.080 --> 1:13:37.479
<v Speaker 1>Thanks Buck, appreciate the attention to the story team. We'll

1:13:37.520 --> 1:13:41.920
<v Speaker 1>be back in just a moment. You are now entering

1:13:41.960 --> 1:13:46.639
<v Speaker 1>to the Freedom Hottle Operation Center. All the programs must

1:13:46.640 --> 1:13:50.479
<v Speaker 1>be cavs strictly need to know Team Buck is cleared

1:13:51.200 --> 1:13:55.000
<v Speaker 1>and ready for the Buck brief. A lot of the

1:13:55.080 --> 1:13:58.759
<v Speaker 1>policies that we've put in plays has kind of helped

1:13:58.960 --> 1:14:04.280
<v Speaker 1>lead the devastation in Venezuela, and we've sort of set

1:14:04.320 --> 1:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the stage for where we are arriving today. This particular

1:14:11.280 --> 1:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>bullying and the use of sanctions to eventually intervene and

1:14:18.800 --> 1:14:23.200
<v Speaker 1>make chee change really does not help the people of

1:14:23.479 --> 1:14:27.200
<v Speaker 1>countries like Venezuela, and it certainly does not help and

1:14:27.280 --> 1:14:31.639
<v Speaker 1>it's not in the interest of the United States. Ilaan

1:14:31.720 --> 1:14:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Omar Democrat member of Congress isn't anti Semite. We know

1:14:36.479 --> 1:14:40.000
<v Speaker 1>that it's not one or two statements, it's lots of statements.

1:14:41.000 --> 1:14:45.400
<v Speaker 1>She just takes Israel the task all the time, and

1:14:45.479 --> 1:14:49.280
<v Speaker 1>by Israel, I mean the Jewish people and Democrats try

1:14:49.280 --> 1:14:52.919
<v Speaker 1>to run cover for her because she's protected. Why she protected,

1:14:52.960 --> 1:14:58.000
<v Speaker 1>She's a female, minority, Muslim, three things. You add them

1:14:58.000 --> 1:15:00.639
<v Speaker 1>all together, and if you're left wing, if she a Republican,

1:15:00.680 --> 1:15:03.759
<v Speaker 1>by the way, she would get scorched by the media.

1:15:03.880 --> 1:15:10.479
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't matter that she's she's African, she's Muslim, she's female,

1:15:10.479 --> 1:15:15.679
<v Speaker 1>that wouldn't matter. It wouldn't matter. But because she's a Democrat,

1:15:15.760 --> 1:15:18.639
<v Speaker 1>then all those things become her shield, they become her protection,

1:15:18.720 --> 1:15:21.920
<v Speaker 1>and they are her protection for the Democrat left because

1:15:21.960 --> 1:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>her most important contribution to the Democrat cause is as

1:15:26.840 --> 1:15:33.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody who is bringing together different victim classes that the

1:15:33.520 --> 1:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>intersectional left will use as a club to attack other people. Right,

1:15:38.720 --> 1:15:43.160
<v Speaker 1>they will bludgeon people with having ilhan Omar call them out,

1:15:43.320 --> 1:15:46.639
<v Speaker 1>say they're racists, say they're Islamophobic. You know that that's

1:15:47.080 --> 1:15:49.360
<v Speaker 1>they like that. They like that ability that she's going

1:15:49.400 --> 1:15:51.360
<v Speaker 1>to have. But the good news is I have the

1:15:51.400 --> 1:15:55.280
<v Speaker 1>ability to say that she seems like an ignor Ramist,

1:15:55.880 --> 1:16:00.240
<v Speaker 1>not quite as as ignorant as Occasio Quartez, but in

1:16:00.360 --> 1:16:02.840
<v Speaker 1>ignoramus who's also an anti semit dident and has this

1:16:03.040 --> 1:16:07.559
<v Speaker 1>streak of anti Americanism. Well, let me just start with

1:16:07.640 --> 1:16:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the ignorant part of this. As the situation in Venezuela

1:16:11.560 --> 1:16:15.599
<v Speaker 1>continues to be very tense as we're on air tonight,

1:16:16.000 --> 1:16:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and I think it's important that everyone understand that Venezuela

1:16:23.720 --> 1:16:28.840
<v Speaker 1>is not really our fight. Keep saying this. We cover

1:16:28.920 --> 1:16:31.160
<v Speaker 1>it here because it's important enough as a news story,

1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and it's interesting that the dynamics for Venezuela are are

1:16:35.880 --> 1:16:39.080
<v Speaker 1>interesting for us to understand. Well, of course, what happens

1:16:39.080 --> 1:16:41.280
<v Speaker 1>when you have too much control of an economy in

1:16:41.320 --> 1:16:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the hands of the state. And but you know, I

1:16:44.439 --> 1:16:48.519
<v Speaker 1>was on Kennedy's show on Fox Business last night talking

1:16:48.520 --> 1:16:53.439
<v Speaker 1>to her about what I think about Venezuela, and this

1:16:53.560 --> 1:16:55.080
<v Speaker 1>is what this is just a quick review of that

1:16:55.120 --> 1:16:59.599
<v Speaker 1>playlip one. Remember we're talking about a narco state here

1:16:59.640 --> 1:17:01.600
<v Speaker 1>as well. Some of the top officials, I mean, the

1:17:01.760 --> 1:17:03.560
<v Speaker 1>number three, four and five guys I believe in the

1:17:03.600 --> 1:17:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Venezuelan government on the Maduro side are sanctioned narco traffickers

1:17:07.320 --> 1:17:09.719
<v Speaker 1>by the Treasury Department. You got a bunch of cocaine

1:17:09.800 --> 1:17:12.799
<v Speaker 1>kingpins run around with people starving. Their money is becoming

1:17:12.840 --> 1:17:15.200
<v Speaker 1>basically worthless, and now they're telling people to shoot on

1:17:15.240 --> 1:17:17.519
<v Speaker 1>unarmed protesters in the streets. Guess what, They're not going

1:17:17.600 --> 1:17:20.160
<v Speaker 1>to play an ice anytime soon. They don't care what

1:17:20.200 --> 1:17:22.160
<v Speaker 1>we tell them, with the international community tells them. So

1:17:22.200 --> 1:17:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I just think that this this just turns into force

1:17:24.479 --> 1:17:27.080
<v Speaker 1>on force Kennedy, and we'll see who wins in the end.

1:17:27.080 --> 1:17:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm just hoping the US doesn't get pulled into a

1:17:28.920 --> 1:17:32.000
<v Speaker 1>military situation here, because as bad as it is, it's

1:17:32.000 --> 1:17:36.280
<v Speaker 1>still not our fight. It's still not our fight. And

1:17:36.600 --> 1:17:40.759
<v Speaker 1>people say, what happens buck if they take some Americans

1:17:40.840 --> 1:17:42.479
<v Speaker 1>hostage or something, Well, you know, if we got to

1:17:42.520 --> 1:17:43.960
<v Speaker 1>go in and save Americans, we got to go in

1:17:44.000 --> 1:17:45.760
<v Speaker 1>and save Americans. But that doesn't mean we go in

1:17:45.840 --> 1:17:48.600
<v Speaker 1>and then set up camp. Doesn't mean we go in

1:17:48.640 --> 1:17:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and patrol the streets. Say that this is going to

1:17:51.439 --> 1:17:57.120
<v Speaker 1>be a place that the United States is going to

1:17:57.160 --> 1:18:00.439
<v Speaker 1>take under it, you know, it's going to militarily intervening.

1:18:00.520 --> 1:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And I have to say I'm a little bit surprised

1:18:05.920 --> 1:18:07.400
<v Speaker 1>at some of the rhetor are coming out of the

1:18:07.439 --> 1:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>administration right now all this. I mean, Secretary of State

1:18:10.120 --> 1:18:14.759
<v Speaker 1>Mike Pompeo on this point about military action in Venezuela

1:18:14.840 --> 1:18:18.080
<v Speaker 1>said this play three. President has been Crystal Claire and

1:18:20.200 --> 1:18:25.160
<v Speaker 1>incredibly consistent. Military action is possible. If that's what's required,

1:18:25.560 --> 1:18:28.600
<v Speaker 1>that's what the United States will do. We're trying to

1:18:28.640 --> 1:18:31.400
<v Speaker 1>do everything we can to avoid violence. We've asked all

1:18:31.439 --> 1:18:34.240
<v Speaker 1>the parties involved not to engage in that kind of activity.

1:18:34.280 --> 1:18:38.920
<v Speaker 1>We'd prefer a peaceful transition of government there where Maduro

1:18:39.000 --> 1:18:41.280
<v Speaker 1>leaves at a new election is held. But the President

1:18:41.280 --> 1:18:43.759
<v Speaker 1>has made claire in the event that there comes a moment,

1:18:43.800 --> 1:18:46.800
<v Speaker 1>and we'll all have to make decisions about when that

1:18:46.880 --> 1:18:48.760
<v Speaker 1>moment is, and the President will ultimately have to make

1:18:48.760 --> 1:18:52.760
<v Speaker 1>that decision. He's prepared to do that if that's what's required.

1:18:54.160 --> 1:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that's just a warning that's put on the table.

1:18:59.040 --> 1:19:01.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is like before you interrogate somebody, you know,

1:19:01.280 --> 1:19:03.479
<v Speaker 1>you put the six shooter on the table and the

1:19:03.479 --> 1:19:05.200
<v Speaker 1>old cop movies and say, all right, we're gonna have

1:19:05.240 --> 1:19:09.160
<v Speaker 1>a conversation here, and you're not really planning on using

1:19:09.200 --> 1:19:10.600
<v Speaker 1>that six shooter, but you're just letting them know that

1:19:10.600 --> 1:19:14.719
<v Speaker 1>it's there. I think Pompeo's just letting the Venezuelan thug

1:19:14.800 --> 1:19:18.559
<v Speaker 1>regime of Majuro know, you guys better not try anything

1:19:18.560 --> 1:19:21.439
<v Speaker 1>crazy and if that's wood he's that's where he's gonna stop,

1:19:21.479 --> 1:19:24.519
<v Speaker 1>then that's fine. This is the only place where I

1:19:24.560 --> 1:19:26.479
<v Speaker 1>have a word where I have real a sense that

1:19:26.520 --> 1:19:28.320
<v Speaker 1>there needs to be caution for administration. Other than that,

1:19:28.320 --> 1:19:30.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they're handling Venezuela very well. That brings me

1:19:30.400 --> 1:19:34.759
<v Speaker 1>back to ilhan Omar, who's on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.

1:19:34.800 --> 1:19:36.800
<v Speaker 1>So this isn't just some random number of Congress This

1:19:36.880 --> 1:19:40.160
<v Speaker 1>is somebody who, at least in theory, could have a

1:19:40.720 --> 1:19:44.799
<v Speaker 1>powerful voice in US foreign policy. And as I mentioned,

1:19:44.800 --> 1:19:50.320
<v Speaker 1>she's both ignorant and exposes her own biases and prejudices

1:19:50.320 --> 1:19:53.800
<v Speaker 1>in a regular basis. To her comments about how Venezuela

1:19:54.120 --> 1:19:58.559
<v Speaker 1>is having the terrible trials and tribulations that are currently

1:19:58.600 --> 1:20:02.720
<v Speaker 1>has because of US policy, I would say to that, like,

1:20:02.760 --> 1:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>what what's the US put? What do the United States

1:20:06.280 --> 1:20:09.360
<v Speaker 1>do to destroy the economy of a country that has

1:20:09.360 --> 1:20:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the largest proven oil reserves in the world, which Venezuela does.

1:20:13.640 --> 1:20:18.520
<v Speaker 1>What do the US do to hyper inflate the currency

1:20:18.600 --> 1:20:23.439
<v Speaker 1>of a country that until about fifteen years ago was

1:20:23.479 --> 1:20:27.320
<v Speaker 1>one of the wealthier South American countries per capita? And

1:20:27.720 --> 1:20:31.599
<v Speaker 1>what did we do exactly? The answer is she doesn't

1:20:31.600 --> 1:20:34.439
<v Speaker 1>have an answer because she just now she's talking about

1:20:34.439 --> 1:20:36.840
<v Speaker 1>the sanctions of things that we've put in place because

1:20:36.920 --> 1:20:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Maduro is seizing power. Really, every day he's in office

1:20:42.280 --> 1:20:44.680
<v Speaker 1>is a seizure of power because he's not a legitimate

1:20:45.160 --> 1:20:49.960
<v Speaker 1>office holder. But it's our fault. It's on us that

1:20:50.120 --> 1:20:53.280
<v Speaker 1>this is the case. And this blame America first attitude,

1:20:54.880 --> 1:20:57.760
<v Speaker 1>which the left is, this is where you're going to

1:20:57.800 --> 1:21:01.280
<v Speaker 1>find it. You find the blame America first on the

1:21:01.400 --> 1:21:07.680
<v Speaker 1>left is deeply unsettling but pervasive. They have a lot

1:21:07.680 --> 1:21:10.800
<v Speaker 1>of this. And then I'll just on ilhan Omar on

1:21:10.880 --> 1:21:13.720
<v Speaker 1>what she likes and uh and doesn't like. You know,

1:21:13.760 --> 1:21:16.000
<v Speaker 1>she obviously doesn't like the state of Israel, but she

1:21:16.120 --> 1:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>also for somebody that fled real oppression and misery in

1:21:21.479 --> 1:21:27.720
<v Speaker 1>an entirely Islamic country, Somalia. She's somebody who you think

1:21:27.720 --> 1:21:30.479
<v Speaker 1>would be have a little more gratitude about America, have

1:21:30.520 --> 1:21:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a little more of a sense that, you know, this

1:21:34.360 --> 1:21:37.080
<v Speaker 1>country is pretty incredible and pretty special, and maybe doesn't

1:21:37.120 --> 1:21:40.080
<v Speaker 1>We don't always need to. It's not fair, it's not wise,

1:21:40.320 --> 1:21:45.479
<v Speaker 1>it's it's not just to always try to undermine this country.

1:21:45.880 --> 1:21:47.360
<v Speaker 1>You think that maybe that would be more of her.

1:21:47.400 --> 1:21:50.120
<v Speaker 1>But that's not her approach. That's not her approach. She

1:21:50.280 --> 1:21:54.120
<v Speaker 1>takes this left wing Chomskyite view of every problem anywhere

1:21:54.120 --> 1:21:57.519
<v Speaker 1>in the world is somehow the result of US foreign

1:21:57.600 --> 1:22:01.040
<v Speaker 1>policy missteps. It's it's bumbling. But this is this is

1:22:01.040 --> 1:22:02.639
<v Speaker 1>where we are. Just one other quick thing that came

1:22:02.680 --> 1:22:08.680
<v Speaker 1>up in Venezuela. Whatever happened to the people in Venezuelas

1:22:09.160 --> 1:22:12.639
<v Speaker 1>in their ability to fight back against the government. Why

1:22:12.760 --> 1:22:15.160
<v Speaker 1>is it that the military is so in military support

1:22:15.200 --> 1:22:18.120
<v Speaker 1>for the regime. It's so very, very important. And why

1:22:18.160 --> 1:22:21.439
<v Speaker 1>aren't you seeing maduro thugs getting ambushed in the streets

1:22:21.840 --> 1:22:25.160
<v Speaker 1>when they open up on people with volleys of live

1:22:25.240 --> 1:22:27.840
<v Speaker 1>fire as they have. Well, here's an exchange with an

1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:31.200
<v Speaker 1>MSNBC report that may illuminate some of that play clip two.

1:22:32.120 --> 1:22:35.040
<v Speaker 1>With the help of Russia and other outside forces, Maduro

1:22:35.240 --> 1:22:37.920
<v Speaker 1>is hanging on, and not only hanging on, but he

1:22:38.080 --> 1:22:41.439
<v Speaker 1>appears to still control the military. You have to understand

1:22:41.560 --> 1:22:45.280
<v Speaker 1>in Venezuela, gun ownership is not something that is open

1:22:45.320 --> 1:22:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they

1:22:47.960 --> 1:22:50.719
<v Speaker 1>have the power. And as long as Nicholas Madoudo controls

1:22:50.760 --> 1:22:55.280
<v Speaker 1>the military, he controls the country. Just a reminder for

1:22:55.360 --> 1:22:59.520
<v Speaker 1>us all the Second Amendment is in this country ultimately

1:22:59.680 --> 1:23:06.080
<v Speaker 1>a check against government tyranny. That is why it exists. Yes,

1:23:06.160 --> 1:23:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it also gives you the ability to defend yourself in

1:23:08.040 --> 1:23:11.240
<v Speaker 1>your home, but it was written into the Constitution as

1:23:11.280 --> 1:23:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a check against government tyranny. In Venezuela right now, the

1:23:16.520 --> 1:23:19.639
<v Speaker 1>situation would be very different if you had an armed

1:23:19.760 --> 1:23:24.120
<v Speaker 1>populace that could fight back. But if you have a

1:23:24.200 --> 1:23:28.120
<v Speaker 1>disarmed population, which is what is the case in Venezuela,

1:23:28.240 --> 1:23:31.960
<v Speaker 1>there is no reasonable means for them to try and

1:23:32.040 --> 1:23:38.880
<v Speaker 1>fight back against military rule on the streets. They're not

1:23:38.920 --> 1:23:42.440
<v Speaker 1>just going to go out there and challenge the military

1:23:42.720 --> 1:23:45.920
<v Speaker 1>in street fights where one side has machine guns and

1:23:45.960 --> 1:23:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the other side has rocks and bottles. That's not going

1:23:48.439 --> 1:23:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to work. So there is a you know, this is

1:23:51.840 --> 1:23:54.320
<v Speaker 1>why that the lessons of Venezuela are important for us

1:23:54.360 --> 1:23:57.200
<v Speaker 1>to understand in this country and to remember you don't

1:23:57.240 --> 1:23:59.880
<v Speaker 1>want the government control of the entirety the economy. Social

1:24:00.160 --> 1:24:02.759
<v Speaker 1>justice is not a smart way to run an economy.

1:24:02.920 --> 1:24:04.559
<v Speaker 1>And oh, by the way, when they want to take

1:24:04.600 --> 1:24:09.000
<v Speaker 1>your guns, you got a problem. Don't let them. Department

1:24:09.000 --> 1:24:14.599
<v Speaker 1>of Homeland Security is looking to expand on a program

1:24:14.600 --> 1:24:18.800
<v Speaker 1>that I just launched, or they will be testing DNA

1:24:18.880 --> 1:24:23.280
<v Speaker 1>at the US Mexico border to establish that these are

1:24:23.479 --> 1:24:28.639
<v Speaker 1>in fact family units that are showing up, that these

1:24:28.680 --> 1:24:31.760
<v Speaker 1>are not children who are being rented. As we know

1:24:31.920 --> 1:24:36.920
<v Speaker 1>has happened, that has been a problem that has faced

1:24:37.280 --> 1:24:40.320
<v Speaker 1>immigrations and Customs enforcement and border patrol. We know that

1:24:40.360 --> 1:24:44.599
<v Speaker 1>there have been instances of this. We know there's massive

1:24:44.640 --> 1:24:49.320
<v Speaker 1>fraud occurring at the border. And now the Trump administration

1:24:49.360 --> 1:24:52.200
<v Speaker 1>and their efforts to try and come up with ways

1:24:52.320 --> 1:24:55.599
<v Speaker 1>that within the executive and law enforcement authority they have,

1:24:56.880 --> 1:25:00.479
<v Speaker 1>they're coming up with ways to at least lean up

1:25:00.520 --> 1:25:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the mess that is currently our southern border, if not

1:25:03.439 --> 1:25:08.920
<v Speaker 1>control it entirely, make it slightly less catastrophic. And here's

1:25:08.960 --> 1:25:11.519
<v Speaker 1>what CNAs reporting today on this. They'll start this DNA

1:25:11.600 --> 1:25:15.080
<v Speaker 1>testing pilot program next week to help identify and prosecute

1:25:15.120 --> 1:25:18.200
<v Speaker 1>individuals posing as families in an effort to target human smuggling.

1:25:18.840 --> 1:25:21.759
<v Speaker 1>The rapid DNA testing, as it's known, involves a cheek

1:25:21.840 --> 1:25:26.519
<v Speaker 1>swab and ken on average, provide results in about ninety minutes.

1:25:26.560 --> 1:25:30.160
<v Speaker 1>According to a senior ICE official. The pilot program will

1:25:30.240 --> 1:25:32.479
<v Speaker 1>run for two to three days, and this is the

1:25:32.680 --> 1:25:38.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump administration trying to crack down on this practice. No,

1:25:38.600 --> 1:25:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I think this is where you see that there will

1:25:42.760 --> 1:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>be there will be challenges I think to this. I

1:25:44.600 --> 1:25:47.040
<v Speaker 1>mean the Democrats will come up with some way to

1:25:47.160 --> 1:25:50.800
<v Speaker 1>say that this is this is bad, that we should

1:25:50.840 --> 1:25:54.000
<v Speaker 1>be we should not be supportive of this, we should

1:25:54.040 --> 1:25:58.360
<v Speaker 1>find this unconstitutional or whatever. I mean, There'll be some

1:25:58.520 --> 1:26:05.320
<v Speaker 1>crazy challenge to because ultimately Democrats do not want enforcement

1:26:05.920 --> 1:26:09.599
<v Speaker 1>to get better. The results of all this, for those

1:26:09.600 --> 1:26:10.880
<v Speaker 1>of you are wondering, they've got to create some kind

1:26:10.880 --> 1:26:12.559
<v Speaker 1>of a database. No, the results of all this will

1:26:12.600 --> 1:26:17.599
<v Speaker 1>be destroyed. And if there's a case where the child

1:26:17.680 --> 1:26:21.240
<v Speaker 1>is accompanied by an uncle, a grandparent, etc. Then they

1:26:21.320 --> 1:26:23.960
<v Speaker 1>have to have legal documentation with them to prove that

1:26:24.000 --> 1:26:27.719
<v Speaker 1>they are in fact a family unit. And they're also,

1:26:29.560 --> 1:26:33.439
<v Speaker 1>I think, going to prosecute people that try to scan

1:26:33.560 --> 1:26:37.120
<v Speaker 1>the system, which they should be doing. They should be

1:26:37.120 --> 1:26:39.560
<v Speaker 1>prosecuting people who try to scan the system scan the

1:26:39.600 --> 1:26:43.400
<v Speaker 1>system because they're violating our laws. And you and I

1:26:43.439 --> 1:26:46.400
<v Speaker 1>don't get to violate the laws with impunity. If you

1:26:46.560 --> 1:26:51.160
<v Speaker 1>or I were to lie to federal law enforcement, we

1:26:51.200 --> 1:26:53.759
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be told, oh, well you have a good reason

1:26:53.840 --> 1:26:56.519
<v Speaker 1>for that lie, and we understand that things are tough

1:26:56.640 --> 1:26:58.160
<v Speaker 1>right now, and so we're going to let you go. No,

1:26:59.640 --> 1:27:03.160
<v Speaker 1>this is where the law either applies or it doesn't.

1:27:03.600 --> 1:27:05.559
<v Speaker 1>And I think that at the at the southern border

1:27:05.640 --> 1:27:09.200
<v Speaker 1>right now, the Trump administration has had enough. They recognize

1:27:09.280 --> 1:27:14.160
<v Speaker 1>that this is a massive scam, that this needs to stop,

1:27:14.880 --> 1:27:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and they have to start putting disincentives in place. They

1:27:18.240 --> 1:27:23.160
<v Speaker 1>need to disincentivize people from continuing. And even just I

1:27:23.200 --> 1:27:25.760
<v Speaker 1>think the value of some prosecutions for fraud at the

1:27:25.800 --> 1:27:29.120
<v Speaker 1>border will make people think twice about all the other

1:27:29.160 --> 1:27:32.000
<v Speaker 1>frauds they're engaged in, lying about their age, lying about

1:27:32.000 --> 1:27:36.479
<v Speaker 1>their circumstance. You know, I've heard people who will say,

1:27:36.840 --> 1:27:39.800
<v Speaker 1>in the context of the Mueller probe, for example, where

1:27:39.920 --> 1:27:41.960
<v Speaker 1>any lie of any kind, even if the very very

1:27:42.000 --> 1:27:44.799
<v Speaker 1>small lie and doesn't really matter and there's no criminal

1:27:44.840 --> 1:27:48.560
<v Speaker 1>conduct at issue, any lie is to be treated severely.

1:27:48.640 --> 1:27:52.639
<v Speaker 1>You know, any lie is a huge problem. And then

1:27:52.640 --> 1:27:54.360
<v Speaker 1>when I say, well, what about what's going on at

1:27:54.360 --> 1:27:57.000
<v Speaker 1>our southern border, you know, it doesn't that make the

1:27:57.040 --> 1:27:59.760
<v Speaker 1>system break down? They want to pretend that well, we

1:27:59.800 --> 1:28:03.800
<v Speaker 1>can and expect people that are fleeing persecution we can't

1:28:03.840 --> 1:28:07.439
<v Speaker 1>expect people that are coming from such difficult circumstances to

1:28:07.439 --> 1:28:10.960
<v Speaker 1>tell the truth, really, and so now is there an

1:28:10.960 --> 1:28:13.559
<v Speaker 1>exception for my life is tough, So I'm gonna lie

1:28:13.600 --> 1:28:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to federal law enforcement officials I've been told. I think

1:28:17.240 --> 1:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>we actually even had a former assistant US attorney on

1:28:20.160 --> 1:28:24.840
<v Speaker 1>this show to discuss this that if they prosecuted immigration

1:28:25.160 --> 1:28:27.880
<v Speaker 1>violators or people that lie at the border in order

1:28:27.920 --> 1:28:29.960
<v Speaker 1>to get into this country, that is all that our

1:28:29.960 --> 1:28:32.479
<v Speaker 1>federal courts would be doing because their lives being told

1:28:32.520 --> 1:28:35.840
<v Speaker 1>all the time. So in a sense, they've they've overwhelmed

1:28:35.880 --> 1:28:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the system, including the system's ability to maintain the basic

1:28:40.960 --> 1:28:45.800
<v Speaker 1>integrity of the truth that is the very foundation of

1:28:45.840 --> 1:28:49.120
<v Speaker 1>everything that's going on. If you can lie to border patrol,

1:28:49.160 --> 1:28:52.920
<v Speaker 1>if you can lie to customs enforcement, then how can

1:28:52.960 --> 1:28:55.760
<v Speaker 1>they do their jobs. If you're just really going to

1:28:55.800 --> 1:28:57.599
<v Speaker 1>rely on them to be able to know who's telling

1:28:57.600 --> 1:29:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the truth and who's not without there being any penalty line,

1:29:01.560 --> 1:29:04.000
<v Speaker 1>then the whole system starts to collapse. So this DNA

1:29:04.400 --> 1:29:08.000
<v Speaker 1>swab issue will be helpful. This This isn't going to

1:29:08.040 --> 1:29:10.000
<v Speaker 1>fix everything. That's not going to make all the problems

1:29:10.040 --> 1:29:12.040
<v Speaker 1>go away, but one thing that I want you to

1:29:12.120 --> 1:29:15.919
<v Speaker 1>keep an eye out for is there'll be some crazy

1:29:15.960 --> 1:29:21.040
<v Speaker 1>objection to this. There will be some you know group

1:29:21.920 --> 1:29:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that decides, you know what we are, We're going to

1:29:25.320 --> 1:29:28.960
<v Speaker 1>challenge this in court. We find this to be you know,

1:29:29.000 --> 1:29:33.360
<v Speaker 1>an unacceptable I don't know what their illegal grounds will be,

1:29:33.479 --> 1:29:35.680
<v Speaker 1>but they'll they'll just say that this is, you know, discriminatory,

1:29:35.760 --> 1:29:37.800
<v Speaker 1>a disparate impact, will come up with some crazy legal

1:29:37.840 --> 1:29:40.720
<v Speaker 1>theory to say that this shouldn't be happening. And that

1:29:40.840 --> 1:29:46.040
<v Speaker 1>just goes to my overall thesis that Democrats oppose enforcement

1:29:46.040 --> 1:29:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of the law that can punish illegal aliens and anything

1:29:50.320 --> 1:29:53.479
<v Speaker 1>that will take away the magnet for illegal aliens, anything

1:29:53.479 --> 1:29:56.439
<v Speaker 1>that will make them less likely, less inclined to break

1:29:56.439 --> 1:29:59.040
<v Speaker 1>our laws and come across our southern border. Democrats oppose

1:30:00.160 --> 1:30:06.160
<v Speaker 1>is a knee jerk reaction from them. They will not relent.

1:30:06.600 --> 1:30:10.200
<v Speaker 1>They will not be partners in trying and they will

1:30:10.240 --> 1:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>not relent on this, and they will not be our

1:30:11.920 --> 1:30:17.200
<v Speaker 1>partners in finding a way to shut down this migration issue.

1:30:17.960 --> 1:30:20.880
<v Speaker 1>They just won't do it. They because they benefit from it.

1:30:20.880 --> 1:30:23.760
<v Speaker 1>As we know, they view this as as votes. You know,

1:30:23.840 --> 1:30:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I just saw this past a couple of days, some imagery,

1:30:27.600 --> 1:30:30.639
<v Speaker 1>some photos of hundreds of people crossing, hundreds of people

1:30:30.640 --> 1:30:33.719
<v Speaker 1>crossing at a time. This is happening every day, my friends.

1:30:34.400 --> 1:30:37.400
<v Speaker 1>This problem continues on and really gets worse because the

1:30:37.520 --> 1:30:41.000
<v Speaker 1>larger the number of people through any one part of

1:30:41.040 --> 1:30:44.160
<v Speaker 1>the immigration system, the larger the number that get into

1:30:44.200 --> 1:30:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the country, the bigger the prize, so to speak, politically,

1:30:49.240 --> 1:30:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the bigger the prize for those who will push for amnesty.

1:30:54.880 --> 1:30:59.120
<v Speaker 1>So for Democrat purposes, that's the single that's everything. This

1:30:59.240 --> 1:31:01.559
<v Speaker 1>means that they will be in power, and that's why

1:31:01.560 --> 1:31:04.080
<v Speaker 1>they're willing to throw the rest of immigration system under

1:31:04.080 --> 1:31:06.720
<v Speaker 1>the bus, because ultimately they think they'll sort it out

1:31:06.760 --> 1:31:10.320
<v Speaker 1>once they destroy the Republican Party. Immigration is a means

1:31:10.360 --> 1:31:12.840
<v Speaker 1>to destroy the Republican Party. That's why Democrats love it

1:31:12.920 --> 1:31:16.280
<v Speaker 1>so illegal immigration, that's why they love it so much.

1:31:16.760 --> 1:31:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's also why the urgency from the Trump administration

1:31:20.720 --> 1:31:23.680
<v Speaker 1>is so necessary. I'm glad that they see this for

1:31:23.720 --> 1:31:25.840
<v Speaker 1>what it is now. I wish that there had been

1:31:25.840 --> 1:31:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a greater focus on this earlier on in Trump's term.

1:31:28.240 --> 1:31:31.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna just skip over that. But the president's

1:31:31.120 --> 1:31:33.800
<v Speaker 1>doing what he can now. Is it too late? I

1:31:33.840 --> 1:31:36.040
<v Speaker 1>don't know. My friends will keep covering it here. I

1:31:36.080 --> 1:31:39.599
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's too late. Sovereignty is eroding every day.

1:31:40.160 --> 1:31:45.479
<v Speaker 1>Sports Illustrated now has a model in a burkini? Can

1:31:45.520 --> 1:31:51.320
<v Speaker 1>the swimsuit issue truly get woke? That is the piece

1:31:51.360 --> 1:31:55.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Washington Post here about the first ever Sports

1:31:55.160 --> 1:32:01.800
<v Speaker 1>Illustrated Swimsuit issue with a burkini in it. And let

1:32:01.880 --> 1:32:04.360
<v Speaker 1>me just say that, you know, this is I might

1:32:04.400 --> 1:32:06.920
<v Speaker 1>get myself into little trouble here, but that's okay. A

1:32:07.120 --> 1:32:14.559
<v Speaker 1>burkini is a version of a bikini that is covering

1:32:14.600 --> 1:32:17.400
<v Speaker 1>a woman's skin all the way up to her wrists

1:32:17.400 --> 1:32:21.360
<v Speaker 1>and down to her ankles. It is somewhat form fitted,

1:32:21.560 --> 1:32:24.479
<v Speaker 1>but you also often wear some kind of a shawl

1:32:24.560 --> 1:32:28.799
<v Speaker 1>or something on top of it. So look, it's not sexy, okay,

1:32:29.160 --> 1:32:32.280
<v Speaker 1>And I'm sorry. I know that we're supposed to say, oh,

1:32:32.280 --> 1:32:36.639
<v Speaker 1>all cultures have the same have the same good things,

1:32:36.720 --> 1:32:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's the same degree of worthy attributes and the

1:32:40.240 --> 1:32:43.559
<v Speaker 1>same kinds of drawbacks. It's just not true. It's just

1:32:43.680 --> 1:32:48.719
<v Speaker 1>not true. The bikini is a wonderful invention of modern

1:32:48.760 --> 1:32:52.080
<v Speaker 1>times and the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, which I don't

1:32:52.080 --> 1:32:54.320
<v Speaker 1>think people particularly care or talk about it anymore. But

1:32:54.360 --> 1:32:56.240
<v Speaker 1>there was a time, you know, when I was growing

1:32:56.320 --> 1:32:58.439
<v Speaker 1>up in the nineties, man, the swimsuit issue came out

1:32:58.479 --> 1:33:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and people love and by people, I mean all my

1:33:02.200 --> 1:33:04.200
<v Speaker 1>high school friends in me. We thought it was amazing.

1:33:05.400 --> 1:33:08.000
<v Speaker 1>The celebration of female beauty is something that I think

1:33:08.600 --> 1:33:13.160
<v Speaker 1>our society shouldn't shy away from. And I also think

1:33:13.160 --> 1:33:15.519
<v Speaker 1>that if we're going to live in a country where

1:33:15.720 --> 1:33:21.920
<v Speaker 1>we have free speech as well as the melting pot

1:33:21.960 --> 1:33:24.920
<v Speaker 1>approach that we're supposed to have to new cultures and

1:33:24.960 --> 1:33:27.000
<v Speaker 1>immigrants and everything else, then we got to say things

1:33:27.040 --> 1:33:29.960
<v Speaker 1>like I'm just not okay with them. Barkini. Now when

1:33:30.000 --> 1:33:31.880
<v Speaker 1>I say I'm not okay with it, if someone wants

1:33:31.880 --> 1:33:34.000
<v Speaker 1>to wear it, that's their call. I don't you know.

1:33:34.080 --> 1:33:36.599
<v Speaker 1>People can dress however they want to dress. I just

1:33:36.680 --> 1:33:39.280
<v Speaker 1>am not going to be made to celebrate what I

1:33:39.320 --> 1:33:41.920
<v Speaker 1>think looks ridiculous on a beach, which is a woman

1:33:42.360 --> 1:33:46.080
<v Speaker 1>wearing coverage from her neck all the way down to

1:33:46.160 --> 1:33:48.559
<v Speaker 1>her feet like she's in some kind of a wetsuit,

1:33:49.120 --> 1:33:52.840
<v Speaker 1>and being told look and wet suits are necessary for things, right,

1:33:52.880 --> 1:33:55.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm but and being told that it's this is sexy

1:33:55.960 --> 1:33:59.040
<v Speaker 1>that this is. This is similar to Kathy Ireland back

1:33:59.080 --> 1:34:01.679
<v Speaker 1>in the day in the nine Remember that Kathy Island. Guys,

1:34:01.720 --> 1:34:03.800
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm talking about, Uh, you know, in

1:34:04.040 --> 1:34:07.680
<v Speaker 1>a sports illustrated spread in a bikini. No, this is

1:34:07.720 --> 1:34:12.960
<v Speaker 1>not sexy. And and also the whole Islamic covering of

1:34:12.960 --> 1:34:16.599
<v Speaker 1>women is not based in liberation. The leftists all try

1:34:16.640 --> 1:34:20.519
<v Speaker 1>to contort reality here because they really really don't want

1:34:20.520 --> 1:34:24.000
<v Speaker 1>to be seen as as critical of Islam. They really

1:34:24.000 --> 1:34:29.160
<v Speaker 1>don't want to be seen as as ever being unfavorable

1:34:29.240 --> 1:34:31.280
<v Speaker 1>to what they view as a non white religion of

1:34:31.280 --> 1:34:34.000
<v Speaker 1>oppressed people, even though Islam is soon to be the

1:34:34.000 --> 1:34:36.840
<v Speaker 1>biggest religion in the world based on current trends. So

1:34:36.880 --> 1:34:40.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not an oppressed faith, it's not a faith tradition

1:34:40.439 --> 1:34:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that is cringing in fear and corners of the world.

1:34:43.680 --> 1:34:46.479
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Islam tends to make other religions cringing fear

1:34:46.920 --> 1:34:49.080
<v Speaker 1>if we're going to talk about religious conflict. But that's

1:34:49.800 --> 1:34:53.640
<v Speaker 1>perhaps conversation for another time. But the whole notion of

1:34:53.720 --> 1:34:59.040
<v Speaker 1>Islamic covering of women has to do with the oppression

1:34:59.040 --> 1:35:02.920
<v Speaker 1>of women and all also this idea that women who

1:35:03.640 --> 1:35:07.719
<v Speaker 1>allow themselves to be shown in public and to express

1:35:07.800 --> 1:35:11.400
<v Speaker 1>their femininity and their beauty invite bad things to happen

1:35:11.439 --> 1:35:13.479
<v Speaker 1>to them from men. This is true, and Islamic societies

1:35:13.479 --> 1:35:17.240
<v Speaker 1>all throughout the Middle East that men can't be expected

1:35:17.280 --> 1:35:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to behave themselves and not do terrible things if women

1:35:20.280 --> 1:35:22.360
<v Speaker 1>are going to walk around in a short skirt or

1:35:22.800 --> 1:35:27.000
<v Speaker 1>this is this is commonplace teaching. Many moms, and people

1:35:27.040 --> 1:35:28.960
<v Speaker 1>make all kinds of excuses for this than everything else.

1:35:28.960 --> 1:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>But if you're looking for the motherload of oppression of

1:35:33.000 --> 1:35:36.360
<v Speaker 1>women in motherload's a good term. I guess a motherload

1:35:36.400 --> 1:35:39.240
<v Speaker 1>of oppression of women in any part of the world,

1:35:39.680 --> 1:35:43.439
<v Speaker 1>Islam is number one by far. And this idea that

1:35:43.479 --> 1:35:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we're going to celebrate the burkini as somehow equivalent to

1:35:47.760 --> 1:35:51.920
<v Speaker 1>the bikini, no, I'm not going to play this game.

1:35:52.080 --> 1:35:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I opt out of this. It's not sexy, it's not exciting,

1:35:55.880 --> 1:35:59.720
<v Speaker 1>it's not stylish, and I think that to borrow from

1:35:59.760 --> 1:36:02.840
<v Speaker 1>a Oriana Falacci on this one, I don't like it

1:36:02.880 --> 1:36:05.680
<v Speaker 1>when people tell me that anyone has to wear a

1:36:05.760 --> 1:36:09.599
<v Speaker 1>medieval rag or else. And that's true of the hijab

1:36:09.640 --> 1:36:11.920
<v Speaker 1>in many cases, and it's certainly true of the Barkinian

1:36:11.960 --> 1:36:23.479
<v Speaker 1>plenty of places. Hey, team Buck, it's time for roll call.

1:36:33.640 --> 1:36:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Does anybody have a recommendation for a really good Spotify

1:36:39.520 --> 1:36:43.080
<v Speaker 1>workout playlist? I've been listening to the same workout music

1:36:43.280 --> 1:36:48.400
<v Speaker 1>way too much lately because I've actually been reasonably consistent

1:36:48.439 --> 1:36:50.800
<v Speaker 1>about getting the gym. So if you have a good

1:36:50.840 --> 1:36:53.679
<v Speaker 1>Spotify send me a link to your Spotify workout playlist

1:36:53.760 --> 1:36:56.559
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook. Those of you who don't know what Spotify is,

1:36:57.720 --> 1:37:00.160
<v Speaker 1>think of it like what people used to do with

1:37:00.200 --> 1:37:03.240
<v Speaker 1>CDs now they do with an app. I don't know.

1:37:03.360 --> 1:37:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I used to make fun of Spotify, and then I

1:37:04.960 --> 1:37:06.799
<v Speaker 1>started using it, and then I found it was pretty

1:37:07.280 --> 1:37:13.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty handy. Facebook dot Com slash Buck Sexton for all

1:37:13.920 --> 1:37:17.760
<v Speaker 1>of your roll call needs, And with that, I say

1:37:17.760 --> 1:37:22.679
<v Speaker 1>we just get right to it. Philip Rights Shields time Buck,

1:37:22.760 --> 1:37:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Time for a buck deep dive into Venezuela. I heard

1:37:26.840 --> 1:37:29.559
<v Speaker 1>your guests from Heritage last night, Duck your question about

1:37:29.640 --> 1:37:34.040
<v Speaker 1>US military intervention. Tucker's Republican guests last night all but

1:37:34.160 --> 1:37:37.639
<v Speaker 1>advocated our intervention, and with John Bolton advising the President,

1:37:37.960 --> 1:37:40.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm very concerned that once again we will add to

1:37:40.160 --> 1:37:43.160
<v Speaker 1>our long list of military interventionist failures abroad. In the

1:37:43.240 --> 1:37:46.559
<v Speaker 1>name of doing something. We don't even know who Juan

1:37:46.680 --> 1:37:49.920
<v Speaker 1>Guido is or what his policies will bring. Bring us

1:37:49.920 --> 1:37:53.519
<v Speaker 1>a deep dive on the issue, Philip, I like the

1:37:53.600 --> 1:37:55.719
<v Speaker 1>idea of a deep dive on it. Let me say

1:37:56.160 --> 1:38:00.120
<v Speaker 1>this as to where I think this all goes. The

1:38:00.439 --> 1:38:04.800
<v Speaker 1>more likely scenario, in my mind, than an intervention upfront,

1:38:04.840 --> 1:38:08.080
<v Speaker 1>meaning now, would be an intervention after the fact of

1:38:08.120 --> 1:38:11.120
<v Speaker 1>some kind. We would rather just see if Guido can

1:38:11.160 --> 1:38:14.720
<v Speaker 1>win this on his own, although we are giving some

1:38:14.800 --> 1:38:20.759
<v Speaker 1>assistance and help. I think that the call for US

1:38:20.840 --> 1:38:24.479
<v Speaker 1>action will get louder if, in fact Maduro wins, which

1:38:24.560 --> 1:38:30.120
<v Speaker 1>is a very real possibility. So in terms of US

1:38:30.200 --> 1:38:34.120
<v Speaker 1>military intervention, we shouldn't do it. It's not our fight,

1:38:34.320 --> 1:38:38.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not our problem. And I hope that there's not

1:38:38.920 --> 1:38:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a hawkishness that wins the day in this White House,

1:38:43.240 --> 1:38:45.360
<v Speaker 1>because I know that some of the advisors around Trump

1:38:45.920 --> 1:38:52.200
<v Speaker 1>are very pro US intervention. As a general matter, they're

1:38:52.240 --> 1:38:55.719
<v Speaker 1>pro US intervention. I do think that this situation venezue

1:38:55.800 --> 1:39:01.439
<v Speaker 1>Venezuela illustrates, however, that just because we don't intervene doesn't

1:39:01.479 --> 1:39:03.680
<v Speaker 1>mean that nobody intervenes. In fact, it is often the

1:39:03.720 --> 1:39:08.000
<v Speaker 1>case that, or let me step back, The absence of

1:39:08.200 --> 1:39:13.000
<v Speaker 1>US intervention in a foreign country is not like It's

1:39:13.040 --> 1:39:17.559
<v Speaker 1>not like there's a ban on other countries intervening too.

1:39:18.960 --> 1:39:22.479
<v Speaker 1>We seem to think that foreign policy that the US

1:39:22.560 --> 1:39:24.160
<v Speaker 1>does not, even when the US does not engage in

1:39:24.200 --> 1:39:28.200
<v Speaker 1>a certain foreign policy act, that other countries won't have

1:39:28.280 --> 1:39:31.880
<v Speaker 1>the same kind of impetus, the same decision making processes.

1:39:32.400 --> 1:39:35.080
<v Speaker 1>And it is often true that where the US does

1:39:35.120 --> 1:39:39.599
<v Speaker 1>not intervene, there is a foreign power vacuum that will

1:39:39.640 --> 1:39:43.920
<v Speaker 1>be filled by someone else. So that's something that I

1:39:43.960 --> 1:39:46.360
<v Speaker 1>think we all need to remember. The absence of US

1:39:46.400 --> 1:39:50.800
<v Speaker 1>intervention is not sovereignty respected. For whatever the situation is,

1:39:50.880 --> 1:39:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the absence of US intervention often turns into Chinese Russia.

1:39:56.040 --> 1:39:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Now that doesn't mean the US should intervene all the time.

1:39:58.040 --> 1:40:01.360
<v Speaker 1>It just means we should be aware of that. Adam

1:40:01.560 --> 1:40:04.400
<v Speaker 1>writes Buck. When it comes to the elites, why can

1:40:04.479 --> 1:40:08.559
<v Speaker 1>we not exploit the not in my backyard, every human

1:40:08.600 --> 1:40:11.000
<v Speaker 1>being has and forced them to live with the policies

1:40:11.040 --> 1:40:13.840
<v Speaker 1>they push. When it's close to home, they will change

1:40:13.880 --> 1:40:18.080
<v Speaker 1>their tune shields high, Adam, I agree with you in principle.

1:40:18.120 --> 1:40:22.200
<v Speaker 1>I just don't know how we would execute this plan

1:40:22.680 --> 1:40:27.320
<v Speaker 1>in fact. So yeah, I think that at any time

1:40:27.360 --> 1:40:31.920
<v Speaker 1>that somebody's advocating something that they themselves would reject, they

1:40:32.479 --> 1:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>would not accept living under the rules that they're pushing

1:40:36.160 --> 1:40:38.160
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of us, or they don't take action

1:40:38.840 --> 1:40:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that is commensurate with the degree of fervor that they're

1:40:42.960 --> 1:40:44.439
<v Speaker 1>pushing the plans and all the rest of us. But

1:40:44.520 --> 1:40:47.280
<v Speaker 1>climate change is a great example of this, but there

1:40:47.320 --> 1:40:50.760
<v Speaker 1>are many others as well that should be an indicator,

1:40:50.920 --> 1:40:54.680
<v Speaker 1>that should be a red flag to you. I you know,

1:40:55.080 --> 1:40:57.200
<v Speaker 1>here's something that and I'm not trying to get into

1:40:57.240 --> 1:41:00.280
<v Speaker 1>the vax discussion. I know there's a lot of news

1:41:00.320 --> 1:41:02.920
<v Speaker 1>coverage right now because of the outbreaks of measles across

1:41:02.920 --> 1:41:05.479
<v Speaker 1>the country, but I would say this one of the

1:41:05.479 --> 1:41:07.800
<v Speaker 1>reasons why because people say, well, Buck, you don't you

1:41:07.840 --> 1:41:12.200
<v Speaker 1>don't just take scientific consensus on climate change as fact,

1:41:12.280 --> 1:41:16.240
<v Speaker 1>but you do take that as fact on the overwhelming

1:41:16.360 --> 1:41:20.559
<v Speaker 1>safety and usefulness of the primary vaccines that we're all

1:41:21.840 --> 1:41:25.400
<v Speaker 1>recommended to take and be given as children. And I say, well, yes,

1:41:25.439 --> 1:41:27.800
<v Speaker 1>but everyone that's ever And I'm just saying this to

1:41:27.840 --> 1:41:30.680
<v Speaker 1>illustrate the point about consistency. So I'm not trying to

1:41:30.680 --> 1:41:32.800
<v Speaker 1>get into a whole vaccination discussion here, so you can

1:41:32.840 --> 1:41:38.040
<v Speaker 1>please please don't send me vacstruth dot net slash. I

1:41:38.120 --> 1:41:42.280
<v Speaker 1>get it. It's fine, thanks, I've got it covered. But

1:41:43.800 --> 1:41:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the truth is that the people that are advocating for

1:41:49.040 --> 1:41:53.080
<v Speaker 1>vaccination as the standard, they have been vaccinated, they get

1:41:53.120 --> 1:41:56.080
<v Speaker 1>their kids vaccinated. They put their money where their mouth is.

1:41:56.720 --> 1:41:59.280
<v Speaker 1>And that's a very different thing than what you see

1:41:59.320 --> 1:42:02.559
<v Speaker 1>with the climate change crowd, where they're telling all of us,

1:42:03.080 --> 1:42:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, don't don't fly in any kind of aircraft,

1:42:07.160 --> 1:42:09.479
<v Speaker 1>and they're flying private. You know, they're telling all of

1:42:09.600 --> 1:42:12.720
<v Speaker 1>us keep your carbon footprints small. But their house is

1:42:12.760 --> 1:42:15.559
<v Speaker 1>twenty times the energy usage of a normal house and

1:42:15.600 --> 1:42:17.439
<v Speaker 1>they don't. And they say the world's going to end

1:42:17.520 --> 1:42:21.080
<v Speaker 1>unless we stop this. So that that hypocrisy is very

1:42:21.120 --> 1:42:25.040
<v Speaker 1>instructive and it's something that nobody should should just gloss

1:42:25.080 --> 1:42:29.439
<v Speaker 1>over or ignore. Michael writes Buck. So now the left

1:42:29.439 --> 1:42:33.640
<v Speaker 1>calls one crazy racist in Pittsburgh the neo Nazis in Pittsburgh.

1:42:33.680 --> 1:42:37.200
<v Speaker 1>It's a subtle change, but it makes a big difference,

1:42:37.240 --> 1:42:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, Michael, I see, I see this time and

1:42:39.920 --> 1:42:44.680
<v Speaker 1>again where one of the favorite tactics of the left is,

1:42:44.760 --> 1:42:47.280
<v Speaker 1>or really of the mainstream media acting on behalf of

1:42:47.280 --> 1:42:51.280
<v Speaker 1>the left, is when they claim that a single incident

1:42:51.400 --> 1:42:54.200
<v Speaker 1>or a single individual is representative of a larger hole,

1:42:55.000 --> 1:42:59.920
<v Speaker 1>and when they choose to actively exaggerate the threat or

1:43:00.240 --> 1:43:03.200
<v Speaker 1>the degree of support for and I mean this whole,

1:43:03.439 --> 1:43:06.920
<v Speaker 1>this white nationalist scourge that we keep hearing about. I mean,

1:43:06.920 --> 1:43:10.160
<v Speaker 1>this is like five hundred guys spread out across the

1:43:10.160 --> 1:43:14.599
<v Speaker 1>country who are losers. There's there is no white nationalist scourge.

1:43:14.640 --> 1:43:17.679
<v Speaker 1>There is no white nationalist uprising that's waiting to happen.

1:43:18.040 --> 1:43:21.840
<v Speaker 1>White nationalist terror is not what's keeping people in law

1:43:21.920 --> 1:43:24.439
<v Speaker 1>enforcement up at night. I mean, I'll tell you this.

1:43:24.640 --> 1:43:27.080
<v Speaker 1>And I just have this conversation recently with a friend

1:43:27.080 --> 1:43:30.640
<v Speaker 1>of mine who's still on the he's still on the

1:43:30.640 --> 1:43:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Intel side, he's the he's on the DHS side, I

1:43:34.240 --> 1:43:40.080
<v Speaker 1>can tell you that. And he was very um disconcerted

1:43:40.880 --> 1:43:48.240
<v Speaker 1>by the internal bureaucratic frenzy for analysis, papers and information

1:43:48.960 --> 1:43:53.599
<v Speaker 1>on the white nationalist terror threat. And this is becoming

1:43:53.640 --> 1:43:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a something that within the government. Now you're you're hearing

1:43:57.760 --> 1:44:01.720
<v Speaker 1>from all different to all different parts of the you know,

1:44:01.760 --> 1:44:04.560
<v Speaker 1>intel community, and at least the ones that deal domestically

1:44:04.840 --> 1:44:06.479
<v Speaker 1>that we all have to be worried about white nationalism.

1:44:06.520 --> 1:44:10.240
<v Speaker 1>He just says that there's obviously a politically motivated appetite

1:44:10.240 --> 1:44:14.320
<v Speaker 1>for this right now, and Democrats want to just create

1:44:14.360 --> 1:44:16.920
<v Speaker 1>as much that the idea of being you create as

1:44:16.920 --> 1:44:20.920
<v Speaker 1>many think papers as possible on a very limited white

1:44:21.000 --> 1:44:24.840
<v Speaker 1>nationalist pool, a very very minimal white nationalist threat in

1:44:24.880 --> 1:44:26.720
<v Speaker 1>this country. And then you say, but look at all

1:44:26.720 --> 1:44:29.120
<v Speaker 1>these papers on white nationalism. This must be a really

1:44:29.160 --> 1:44:32.000
<v Speaker 1>big deal. You know. This is like stocking the pond

1:44:32.040 --> 1:44:34.160
<v Speaker 1>with fish and then saying, WHOA, where'd all these fish

1:44:34.160 --> 1:44:35.679
<v Speaker 1>come from. There's a lot of fish in this pond.

1:44:35.840 --> 1:44:38.640
<v Speaker 1>Must be more, you know. That's what they're doing with

1:44:38.680 --> 1:44:45.679
<v Speaker 1>white nationalist analysis. And there are no comparisons that anybody

1:44:45.720 --> 1:44:50.280
<v Speaker 1>should really draw between the Islamic jihattiest threat and white nationalists.

1:44:50.280 --> 1:44:53.639
<v Speaker 1>There are no white nationalist states, there are no major

1:44:53.720 --> 1:45:00.719
<v Speaker 1>transnational white nationalist terror organizations. There is not a fifteen

1:45:00.840 --> 1:45:07.879
<v Speaker 1>hundred year history of white nationalist ideological, ideologically based violence.

1:45:07.960 --> 1:45:11.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is all. This is all just the

1:45:11.360 --> 1:45:15.320
<v Speaker 1>media trying to create a boogeyman that they're comfortable opposing

1:45:16.040 --> 1:45:19.880
<v Speaker 1>because some of the other boogie men issues out there

1:45:20.120 --> 1:45:21.960
<v Speaker 1>the media doesn't want to talk about. I mean, they

1:45:22.320 --> 1:45:26.200
<v Speaker 1>always find that in a radical Islam is something that

1:45:28.240 --> 1:45:32.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to downplay. Russia they've overplayed, They've made people

1:45:32.400 --> 1:45:35.280
<v Speaker 1>terrified about Russia, even though Russia is not nearly the

1:45:35.400 --> 1:45:39.240
<v Speaker 1>national security challenge and threat that they pretend it is.

1:45:39.800 --> 1:45:43.880
<v Speaker 1>And they've as a result, largely underplayed the threat from China,

1:45:43.960 --> 1:45:47.799
<v Speaker 1>which is are no question, our biggest national security challenge,

1:45:47.800 --> 1:45:53.120
<v Speaker 1>the biggest economic challenge, all the above. Let's see here,

1:45:53.520 --> 1:45:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Joe sah Right, buck, it's time to remind the libtards

1:45:58.080 --> 1:46:02.000
<v Speaker 1>in NYC, in New York State about how petty these

1:46:02.400 --> 1:46:05.519
<v Speaker 1>sobs are with their hatred of President Trump. We all

1:46:05.560 --> 1:46:08.120
<v Speaker 1>cried and prayed for the thousands killed and injured in

1:46:08.160 --> 1:46:10.240
<v Speaker 1>New York City on nine eleven, two thousand and one.

1:46:10.280 --> 1:46:14.479
<v Speaker 1>We contribute to the nine to eleven Fund. Perhaps the

1:46:14.520 --> 1:46:18.240
<v Speaker 1>next time the liberals get hit will just kick back

1:46:18.240 --> 1:46:22.760
<v Speaker 1>and think, well, you reap what you sow. We will

1:46:22.800 --> 1:46:26.240
<v Speaker 1>never set foot in New York State again. Joseph, Joseph,

1:46:26.280 --> 1:46:29.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, look, I think I'm picking up that you're

1:46:30.000 --> 1:46:32.280
<v Speaker 1>very angry about what they're doing to Trump in New

1:46:32.360 --> 1:46:34.759
<v Speaker 1>York State. But I wouldn't. I wouldn't connect these things

1:46:35.360 --> 1:46:38.640
<v Speaker 1>to nine to eleven and the sense of unity we

1:46:38.640 --> 1:46:40.320
<v Speaker 1>had after that about I think I know what you're

1:46:40.360 --> 1:46:43.920
<v Speaker 1>trying to say, but I'm I wouldn't draw the same

1:46:45.080 --> 1:46:51.519
<v Speaker 1>kinds of comparisons, Keith Rights. How can Trump be an

1:46:51.560 --> 1:46:54.720
<v Speaker 1>anti Semite when he stood up for Israel every time? Keith,

1:46:54.720 --> 1:46:57.639
<v Speaker 1>That's a very good point, isn't it. Son in laws,

1:46:58.080 --> 1:47:00.280
<v Speaker 1>son of laws, and Jew, daughters of Jew stand up

1:47:00.320 --> 1:47:03.200
<v Speaker 1>for Israel, close friends with Net and Yahoo. He's an

1:47:03.240 --> 1:47:08.559
<v Speaker 1>anti semit h. That's weird, isn't it? Very very weird?

1:47:10.520 --> 1:47:15.559
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Rights? Hey, buddy Genghis Khan apologist in the house

1:47:16.240 --> 1:47:19.800
<v Speaker 1>watch out ever talk to a Mongolian. Their perspective on

1:47:19.840 --> 1:47:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Genghis is fascinating. Not only do their chests swell with pride,

1:47:23.800 --> 1:47:27.120
<v Speaker 1>they credit him with their current democratic traditions. They'll point

1:47:27.120 --> 1:47:29.799
<v Speaker 1>out that Genghis signed a rough equivalent of the Magna

1:47:29.880 --> 1:47:34.439
<v Speaker 1>Carta nine years before King John. He outlined four basic

1:47:34.479 --> 1:47:37.639
<v Speaker 1>democratic principles such as equality under the law, religious tolerance,

1:47:37.800 --> 1:47:41.200
<v Speaker 1>and representation through things like the Wise Men's Counsel. Maybe

1:47:41.240 --> 1:47:44.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going native on Mongolian civic websites, but I think

1:47:44.080 --> 1:47:47.200
<v Speaker 1>it's interesting the Mongolians love democracy and perceived Genghis Khan

1:47:47.240 --> 1:47:48.760
<v Speaker 1>as a founding father of all that. Who are we

1:47:48.840 --> 1:47:51.200
<v Speaker 1>to complain? I bet I could make a lefty's brain

1:47:51.240 --> 1:47:54.960
<v Speaker 1>explode with this kind of nuance. Ryan. There are Genghis

1:47:55.040 --> 1:47:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Khan revisionists and even apologists out there, and they look

1:47:58.160 --> 1:48:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Gega with Geanghas did was incredible. What Genghis did was

1:48:03.720 --> 1:48:08.240
<v Speaker 1>create the most dominant military machine in its time, really

1:48:08.320 --> 1:48:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of all time, and change human history in ways that

1:48:12.320 --> 1:48:17.000
<v Speaker 1>I think we in the West are still very limited

1:48:17.040 --> 1:48:20.320
<v Speaker 1>in the education we get on this. You know, if

1:48:20.360 --> 1:48:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you're if you've got a carpet in your home somewhere,

1:48:23.000 --> 1:48:24.840
<v Speaker 1>if you've got which I'm sure a lot of you do,

1:48:25.120 --> 1:48:27.640
<v Speaker 1>if you ever use the post office, if these are

1:48:27.680 --> 1:48:31.320
<v Speaker 1>all things that you can credit to the Mongols, yep,

1:48:31.680 --> 1:48:33.960
<v Speaker 1>the spread of these things and the usage of these

1:48:33.960 --> 1:48:39.160
<v Speaker 1>things among many many other traditions and inventions. Team, that's

1:48:39.160 --> 1:48:40.960
<v Speaker 1>going to be it for today's show. I hope you

1:48:40.960 --> 1:48:43.479
<v Speaker 1>thought it was as fantastic as I did. Excited to

1:48:43.479 --> 1:48:46.160
<v Speaker 1>talk to you tomorrow. As always, no matter what comes

1:48:46.160 --> 1:48:47.879
<v Speaker 1>our way, shields high
