1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Is the pre Trump Republican Party gone, never to be revived.

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 2: Governor.

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,600
Speaker 3: No, I think we've had these streets of populism, never

4
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 3: to this example over a personality.

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 4: But this is a populist movement.

6
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: And maybe there was a reason for the populist movement

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 3: because the left went too far left. And some of

8
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 3: it's rhetoric and there's pushback against it. But you know,

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: when I was on the campaign trail as governor with

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 3: President elect Trump or the candidate Trump, I never wore

11
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 3: a magahet because I never know what it meant.

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 4: I don't listen.

13
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 3: When I was governor, mayor, I never let anybody use

14
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: slogans around me because I think slogans don't say anything.

15
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 3: And we still use the term maga without understanding what

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 3: it is, Just like I was subtly called a rhino,

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 3: and I still.

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 2: Don't know what a rhino is.

19
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: But it's the terms flung out there so easily, and

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 3: this name calling an immaturity on both sides of the aisle.

21
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 3: It's just got to end. We've got to get back

22
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: to statesman like behavior. And I'm scared to death at

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 3: the Tomorrow night, Tuesday night on both what's going to

24
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 3: be said at the podium and what the reaction is

25
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 3: going to be, because it's everything that goes against my

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: instincts of why I got into public service versus as

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 3: a city council member who had to deal with those

28
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 3: storms as a mayor. And we need to get to

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 3: people who can work together during crisis, whether it be

30
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: a riot or a snowstorm, or a foreign policy issue

31
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: which we're having right now.

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 5: Hang on the Middle East. According to the Wall Street Journal,

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 5: the Chairman of the Joint chiefs of Staff, Dan Cain,

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 5: and other Pentagon officials have been warning of the consequences

35
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 5: should the United States decide to carry out either strikes

36
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 5: or an extended military campaign in Iran. Officials told the

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: journal all options carry risks, but a prolonged campaign in

38
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:58,800
Speaker 5: particular could incurse significant costs to US forces and munition stockpiles,

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 5: complicating the protection of regional partners if Iran is able

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 5: to retaliate. President Trump posted a lengthy message to social

41
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 5: media denying that General Kine had raised any concern saying

42
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 5: everything that has been written about a potential war with

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 5: Iran has been written incorrectly. He goes on to say

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 5: he would quote rather have a deal than not with Iran.

45
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: It is now reporting that the office of Jeanine Piro,

46
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: the U S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, has

47
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: decided to stop pursuing the case against those six Democratic

48
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: lawmakers who urged members of the military to not comply

49
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: with unlawful orders. That's according to three people familiar with

50
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: the matter. The news comes roughly two weeks after a

51
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: federal grand jury in Washington, DC unanimously rejected an attempt

52
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: by Piro to indict the lawmakers over that video.

53
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 6: This is not a.

54
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 7: Moment for Democrats to be good little boys and good

55
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 7: little girls and sit there on the House floor and

56
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 7: fold their hands over and be nice and quiet. Listen

57
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 7: to the president. We keep hearing, you know, Let the

58
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 7: president have his opportunity to speak freely. The man who

59
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 7: is torching the first ten minutes amendments to the United

60
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 7: States Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the man who is

61
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 7: trying to suppress our freedom of speech. We're supposed to

62
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 7: sit there and respect his opportunity to speak to us. No,

63
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 7: so we decided to host this event to speak before

64
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 7: Donald Trump, to speak during Donald Trump, to speak after

65
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 7: Donald Trump. We will pre butt rebut and rebut again

66
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 7: his state of the Union of Marks. And guess what

67
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 7: I've got news for Donald Trump? With how many Democrats

68
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 7: I am seeing on these phone messages are defecting from

69
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 7: the chamber, I am now confident at the National Press

70
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 7: Club at the Defiance dot Org event, we will have

71
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 7: more people at that rebuttal than Donald Trump will have

72
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 7: in front of him on the Houseboard. Guess what, Donald Trump,

73
00:04:42,520 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 7: My crowd size is bigger than your crowds.

74
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 8: That's a little bit. Yeah, yeah, ok, hey.

75
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 9: Kid.

76
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 10: At that time you warned that President Trump was a

77
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 10: unique threat to constitutional government. You also said that you

78
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 10: hoped you would be proven wrong absolutely. Thirteen months into

79
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 10: Donald trump second term as president, how you reflect on

80
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:00,799
Speaker 10: that sentiment.

81
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 11: I haven't been proven completely wrong, but we're still here,

82
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 11: and so I'm delighted.

83
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 10: Is he still a unique threat to constutulutely he is?

84
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 11: Because what you saw I thought in twenty sixteen to

85
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 11: twenty twenty that he was a difference of degree but

86
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,839
Speaker 11: not kind he was. You know, you could recognize what

87
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 11: he was doing, not the tone and the behavior that's

88
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 11: totally unique in what was then, But basically you could

89
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 11: sort of put it on an American spectrum what he

90
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 11: was doing. Then comes the unfolding January sixth, the attempt

91
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 11: to undermine the election. And that's a unique virus in

92
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 11: the American body politic. And if you create the capacity,

93
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 11: the tendency to denounce elections simply because you don't like

94
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 11: the result, no American president's done that. Andrew Jackson didn't

95
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 11: do it in eighteen twenty four, Richard Nixon didn't do

96
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 11: it in nineteen sixty. Huret Humphrey didn't do it in

97
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 11: nineteen sixty eight. Al Gore didn't do it in two thousand.

98
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 11: Secretary Clinton didn't do it in twenty sixteen. But in

99
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 11: twenty twenty we had an American president who, because he

100
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 11: didn't like what the system produced, decided to so distrust.

101
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 2: In the system.

102
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 11: And that continues to be something that I think we're

103
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 11: going to be dealing with. I hope we don't in

104
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 11: the midterm, but I think it's something to watch carefully.

105
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 12: State of lunacy. This should never be happening in this country.

106
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 12: This guy should never never even have been have been

107
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 12: allowed to run for president.

108
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 6: He's unqualified, period. We all know that. So we're dealing

109
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 6: with a with a fool of clown who's brought the

110
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 6: rest of the circus into the White House. So we're

111
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 6: dealing with it.

112
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 8: I think was a wonder.

113
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 2: We've got a big problem here.

114
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 13: We have a mastered, enormous armada in the region, except

115
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 13: we've got an armada in search of a strategy.

116
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: What is this about?

117
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 13: Are we trying to bring about regime change? Really demanding?

118
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 13: As General Kine essentially has pointed out, uh is it

119
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 13: to go after their ballistic missile inventory, which the Israelis

120
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 13: wants to go after the nuclear capabilities? Well, I thought

121
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 13: those were obliterated, and those seem to be getting negotiated

122
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 13: to go after the proxies. They don't offer a good target.

123
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 13: So we've got a real disconnect between our means and

124
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 13: our ends. Congress isn't holding hearings about it, the President's.

125
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 8: Not explaining it.

126
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 2: And here we are.

127
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 13: This is a crisis of choice. We're on the cosp

128
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 13: of a war of choice. History suggests to be really,

129
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 13: really careful, that's what people are to be thinking here.

130
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 4: What gives you.

131
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 14: Hope when you see a moment like tomorrow night and

132
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 14: what comes after that is we begin the election cycle

133
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 14: for the control of our House and our Senate, the

134
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 14: Congress starting next Tuesday night when primaries begin.

135
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't use the word of hope anymore.

136
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 6: There is no hope. I hope with mull and I

137
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 6: hope of this. I hope in voting. I hope of that.

138
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 6: We're done with the hope. It's about getting.

139
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 15: Rid of this idiot, period, and we all know what

140
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 15: it is, getting rid of him and the independence or

141
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 15: whoever whatever.

142
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 6: Voters realize that this.

143
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 4: Is not their guy.

144
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 12: Hello, finally you realize that because the guy's the biggest con.

145
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 6: Artist have I mean, this is a joke that we're

146
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 6: even talking about him. He should have been out of

147
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 6: the running.

148
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 12: One, you know, years ago, and thanks to Mitch McConnell

149
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 12: who saved him in the second impeachment.

150
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 6: You know, it's a joke.

151
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 15: And Mitch O'Connell will have to live with that for

152
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 15: the rest of his life, knowing how he allowed this

153
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 15: tool to actually try to maybe topple our government. And

154
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 15: we I don't want I don't want to use your

155
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 15: word at home, because it can't be hope.

156
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 6: We will vanquish, we will get rid of this guy.

157
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 6: But it's uh, it's it's it's mind bowing.

158
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: This is the climal scream of a dying regime. Pray

159
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: for our enemies because we're going to medieval on these people.

160
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 2: He's not got a free shot. All these networks lying

161
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 2: about the people, the people have had a belly full

162
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: of it. I know you don't like hearing that. I

163
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: know you try to do everything in the world to

164
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 2: stop that, but you're not going to stop it. It's

165
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: going to happen. And where do people like that go

166
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: to share the big line?

167
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 4: Mega media?

168
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: I wish in my soul, I wish that any of

169
00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 2: these people had a conscience. Ask yourself, what is my

170
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: task and what is my purpose? If that answer is

171
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 2: to save my country, this country will be saved war.

172
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: Here's your host, Stephen K.

173
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: Bath.

174
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday, twenty four February of the Year of Our Lord,

175
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. It is the State of the Union.

176
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: President Trump's first State of the Union in his second,

177
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: his second term. All day coverage here in real America's voice.

178
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 2: And when I say all day coverage through and run

179
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 2: up to it, then the coverage during the actual State

180
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 2: of the Union itself, and then analysis afterwards and tomorrow

181
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: because this is President Trump's one shot to actually address

182
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: the nation. Right. He may do specials from the as

183
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 2: occasion arises on topics of interest from the Ovlar other places,

184
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: but this is where the whole nation and there should

185
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: be a pretty big audience of this. The Democrat started

186
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 2: losing their minds. They're having counter and we're going to

187
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: be covering some of that seven o'clock. I think they're

188
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: at the National Press Club. They're also going to be

189
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 2: in the mall. They've completely lost it, totally unhinged. You

190
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,199
Speaker 2: saw Robert de NIROO. This is the reason there's been

191
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 2: three assassination attempts. Three assassination attempts we actually know of.

192
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: There's others that have been thwarted earlier, but three that

193
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: have actually got to the place of actually taking action,

194
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 2: and all three of those President Trump shot in one

195
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 2: of them. Only by the grace of divine providence is

196
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: he still alive and with us almost shot at the

197
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: golf club. And then very confusing, I don't know how

198
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: this whole excuse that the gate employee gate was open.

199
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 2: They slipped in. It's not the north entrance because I

200
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,600
Speaker 2: didn't even know there was a north entrance because of

201
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 2: this hate put on by not just the media, but

202
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 2: the entertainment industry, the cultural sports, all of it just

203
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:01,119
Speaker 2: completely unloading a President Trump every day, not a political discussion,

204
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: but that he's a danger to the nation. It must

205
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: be must be taken out. Cleita Mitchell is gonna join me.

206
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 2: We're gonna take a short commercial break here. I want

207
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 2: to thank that my excellent team here at the war

208
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 2: room and of course the rev A team in Denver

209
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 2: for putting that together these cold opens, because I get

210
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 2: it from the engine room and others. I know during

211
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 2: the cold opens, your heads are blowing up, as they're

212
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 2: supposed to because in the information war, you see what

213
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: we're up against every day daily. When we come back,

214
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 2: Clita is from the great state of North Carolina, and

215
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk. She's she's here to talk about a

216
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 2: letter they sent to John Thune on the Save America Act.

217
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: Also her work in Georgia, as we have this huge

218
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 2: hearing on Friday and we must, must, must get to

219
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 2: the bottom of the twenty twenty steel and we're going

220
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 2: to do it in Georgia. But also I'm gonna talk

221
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: about the opening clip you saw there from Pat McCrory,

222
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 2: the former governor of the Tar Hills. They let me

223
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: be blunt, brother, you're a bald face liar, a bald

224
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 2: face liar President Trump. With help of Mark Meadows and

225
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 2: other great folks down there, in twenty sixteen, we pulled

226
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 2: North Carolina out I think by a point point and

227
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: a half. That was a state I was most concerned

228
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: about as running the campaign. The Carolinians stood up. North

229
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: Carolinia stood up and we won. And Pat McCrory lost

230
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 2: the governorship because he's so feckless and hapless and did

231
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: not embrace President Trump. And then he came around and

232
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 2: begged on his knees, beg for a job, and he's

233
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: got the gall to sit there and talk about populism

234
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,359
Speaker 2: and President Trump. And this is on MSNBC. Bruce Springsteen,

235
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 2: just to top it off, in the a blog, Bruce

236
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: spring is going to take you out, Cleta Mitchell, bring

237
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: you back in in the war.

238
00:14:51,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 4: Room, horror room. Here's your host, Stephen K.

239
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: Bath.

240
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 2: Okay, i'm a I want to take our time with

241
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 2: this North Carolina in the in the Cleta situation. And

242
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 2: so Cleed is gonna join us in a second. Just

243
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 2: hang on. And the reasons I want to slip Mike

244
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: Davis in here because I want to lay the predicate.

245
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: When you hear the State of the Union tonight, we're

246
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: gonna show you the hyena Democrats. We're going to show

247
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: you there. They're gonna be the National Press Club, I

248
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: think twenty five senators or something. They're not showing up

249
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 2: in a bunch of the credit and in the in

250
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: the room itself, they're gonna be hooting in Holland trying

251
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: to shout him down.

252
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 9: Uh.

253
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: But the biggest problem is is like Caesar Rum, it's

254
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: the it's the people around It's the people around him

255
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 2: in the these rhino Republicans, like the McCrory's Mike Davis

256
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: is here, Mike, you got to help me out here.

257
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: I don't understand this. And this is a huge deal

258
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: because it happened to me. But that's not why it's

259
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 2: a huge deal. It happened to so many, but particularly

260
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 2: the President of United States. So the president Ied States

261
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 2: people have to understand. Go back to what Meetcham said,

262
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 2: would meet him said in the cold open, and maybe

263
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 2: I play that again with with Hoover. Their term of

264
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: art now is the unfolding J six. The unfolding J

265
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: six and what they mean by that is everything Cleta

266
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 2: Mitchell the team are doing in uh in Georgia, with

267
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 2: the team in Maricopa County's doing, with the team in

268
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania's doing to show that the twenty twenty election could

269
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 2: not be certified, impossible to be certified, and therefore we

270
00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:32,120
Speaker 2: were gotten kicked to the House of Representatives and Donald

271
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 2: Trump would have been re elected president. Now, through divine providence,

272
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 2: we all know that it was better that we had

273
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: those years in the wilderness to kind of build up

274
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 2: the forces, both the precinct strategy on one hand and

275
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 2: all the think tanks and cra and all that on

276
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: the other, and that the Mike Davis is of the

277
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 2: world and all these people who were kind of unknown

278
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: in the first term could kind of rise to become major, elite,

279
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 2: huge leaders of this party. Now what is happening is

280
00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: they're already having a fight to try to divide it

281
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 2: the carcass post Trump. There ain't going to be any

282
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 2: post Trump. They're not going to be any pro Trump,

283
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: and so they're doing this NonStop. One of the things

284
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 2: they're doing is that Mike Davis. You got to help

285
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: me out here. President Trump was de banked. Now you're

286
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 2: talking guy bionnaire with financial obligations on his private business

287
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 2: that he hadn't touched in four years as president. Okay,

288
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 2: he's got loans everywhere. He's he's highly leveraged. Why because

289
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: he's a real estate guy. The real estate business is

290
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: based is predicated upon leverage. That's why President Trump feels

291
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 2: pretty comfortable with the leverage we have now and negotiating

292
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: tariff deals, et cetera, because he understands how to use leverage.

293
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: JP Morgan debanked him immediately, and and so he suited

294
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: him for five billion dollars of of of of harm

295
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 2: and charges. And I should also know JP Morgan has

296
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 2: lied about this consistently for years and years and years.

297
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 2: Jamie Diamond in that lovely crowd over there at JP Morgan.

298
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 2: So President Trump suit him. And so it's shocking enough

299
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: that a major financial institution would d bank a president

300
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 2: Mike Davis a week after he left the White House.

301
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: This is how they tried to kill Trump. This is

302
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 2: how they tried to smother Trump. In January twenty twenty one,

303
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 2: and the folks in this audience that were there understood

304
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: how we had to have his back to return because

305
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 2: they tried to bankrupt him before they tried it imprisoning

306
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: before they tried to assassinate him. If he noticed the

307
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 2: scale that goes up. But Mike Davis in this entire thing,

308
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: the central law firm, and Davis knows this is better

309
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 2: than anybody. Because Davis was working on the confirmations, the

310
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 2: confirmations at the Supreme Court. Mike Davis was behind the

311
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 2: scenes working for Grassley. Mike Davis was the number one

312
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: guy for these confirmations and particularly then went to work

313
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 2: for Gorsas, but particularly for Kavanaugh, which hung by a thread.

314
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 2: There is a meeting that hung by a thread. And

315
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: Mike Davis and these Bill burn these guys dug in

316
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 2: hard and ladies and gentlemen. That's how you got the opinion,

317
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 2: the minority opinion that laid out the roadmap for terrorists

318
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 2: that you will hear tonight in the State of the Union.

319
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: If Kevin had gotten to prove you, we're not going

320
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 2: to get that. So Mike Davis, the law firm of Jones' day,

321
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 2: which Don McGann was the White House counsel. Jones Day

322
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: was essentially the law firm for the first Trump term.

323
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 2: No Francisco for Crevi ever wrong, he's solicitor general. You've

324
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 2: got Don McGann is the White House Counsel, which is

325
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,199
Speaker 2: outside the Attorney General is the most powerful thing I

326
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 2: think he got. I don't know twenty jones Day partners

327
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 2: in the administration. They're representing JP Morgan. Please tell me

328
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 2: in modern America how this works. How a law firm

329
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 2: that was your law firm and had all these government

330
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 2: from Solicitor General to the White House Council is taking

331
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: the side of JP Morgan to oppose President Trump's suit. Like,

332
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 2: in what world does that work?

333
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 9: Sir? You know, I've been around Washington for a long time, Steve,

334
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 9: and I don't get shocked by anything. This one shocks me.

335
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:16,800
Speaker 9: My jaw drops. I couldn't believe that Jones Day was

336
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 9: going to be adverse to Donald Trump in any litigation matter,

337
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 9: particularly on a litigation matter involving lawfare against President Trump

338
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,119
Speaker 9: where JP Morgan tried to debank him. Now, if you

339
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 9: go look at the ABA model rules Model Rule one

340
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,440
Speaker 9: point nine to A, it says a lawyer who has

341
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 9: formerly represented a client in a matter shall not thereafter

342
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 9: represents another clients in the same or substantially related matter

343
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,679
Speaker 9: in which that person's interests are maturely adverse to the

344
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 9: interest of the former clients, unless the former clients and

345
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 9: forms consent confirmed in writing. I doubt President Trump would

346
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 9: give informs consents to have jones Day be adverse to

347
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 9: him in the JP. Morgan case. Maybe there was some

348
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 9: sort of waiver in a prior legal representation. I just

349
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 9: doubt it. And I guess the issue is when you're

350
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 9: using If you're representing President Trump as a law firm

351
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 9: and you know his mindset, you know for his strengths

352
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 9: and weaknesses, are, you know how far he'll push or

353
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 9: get pushed on negotiations, and you have his confidential information,

354
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 9: You're on a very dangerous, treacherous path as a law

355
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 9: firm if you are taking fiance adverse to that clients.

356
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 9: And so I would say to jones Day this, you

357
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 9: have plenty of clients, you have plenty of business. You

358
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 9: may want to step back and think about this one

359
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,360
Speaker 9: to make sure that you're not even closed to crossing

360
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 9: that ethical line. I like Don McGann a lot. I

361
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 9: don't think Don's involved on this particular matter. I've heard

362
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 9: that Nolan Francisco may be on this matter. Remember, Francisco

363
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 9: was President Trump's solicitor General of the United States.

364
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 2: Unbelievable.

365
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 9: I mean, it's even if there's not a technical violation

366
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 9: of War one two point nine. This is idiotic on

367
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 9: Jones Today's art.

368
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: Hang on Nol Francisco, which who I think did an

369
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: incredible And I'm not a lawyer, but I thought he

370
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 2: did an incredible job at solicitor general. If you look

371
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 2: at Conway Kelly and Conway's husband, the guy that's so

372
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 2: nuts and such a Trump hater that says I was

373
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: a Trump supporter, he's now running for Congress. Thank for

374
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 2: Jerry Natilistink one of the true haters. He wanted to

375
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: be solicitor general. And somebody made the case, Hey, look, dude,

376
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: I don't think you've ever ar You're an m and

377
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 2: a lawyer. You've never argued in court. We meet somebody

378
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: that the pig Francisco because it was so good. In

379
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 2: what universe? Can No Francisco actually be listed on the team,

380
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: be listed on the JP Morgan team. He was his

381
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: solicitor general. Nobody knows more of the thinking of President

382
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,600
Speaker 2: Trump and and kind of the the negotiating style of

383
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 2: President Trump in his mindset than his solicitor general does it.

384
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's I mean it, this just looked really bad

385
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 9: for joons Day. Yeah. Again, even if there's not a

386
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 9: technical violation, and that is that is very very, very

387
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 9: fact specific, it just looks bad. And the other problem

388
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 9: is is you have confidential information. So if they're using

389
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 9: President Trump's confidential confidential information that jones Day obtains when

390
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 9: President Trump was a client, you have problems not only

391
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 9: under rule one point nine, you have a problem under

392
00:23:56,080 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 9: rule one point six and under Rule one point one

393
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 9: zero that conflict. If jones Day has a conflict, it's

394
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,959
Speaker 9: imputed it to every lawyer in the law firm. And

395
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 9: so you're I don't think you're gonna be able to

396
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 9: put up a Chinese wall in the law firm without

397
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 9: President Trump's consent.

398
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 2: It's his his White House counsel, which folks should understand.

399
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 2: The White House Council is involved in everything. It's one

400
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 2: of the most like go and B director, It's one

401
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: of those jobs a lot of people don't know about.

402
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 2: It represents the office of the presidency, not an individual

403
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: office of President m McGann knows everything. And look, I

404
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 2: like Dom McGann a lot, and he gets crushed with

405
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 2: a lot of things, but he did so much good

406
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 2: work in the campaign and then in the early years.

407
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 2: But Mike, I want to pivot. I want to let's

408
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:44,479
Speaker 2: talk about and I'd like to hold you through if

409
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: we have to just a second break. We have to

410
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: talk about a very dark secret. That's the reality in

411
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 2: this town. You see it. And Kleta is going to

412
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 2: be on here a second. We were very concerned about

413
00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:57,479
Speaker 2: this hearing or this trial and Georgia on Friday. It

414
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 2: was not staff properly and it turns out they put

415
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 2: some heavy gun doj But Judge Deneen, there's all these things, judge,

416
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 2: and he can't go forward with the Six Traders because

417
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: it is because of staffing. We don't have enough bodies

418
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,640
Speaker 2: in and main Justice. We only got fourteen or fifteen

419
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,680
Speaker 2: of the US attorneys. You know, you're working every day

420
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: to come up with names of people that can go.

421
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 2: And the reason is the day the Jones days of

422
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 2: the world have put the word out that if you

423
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 2: work in Trump's second term, and particularly we're going to

424
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 2: Maine Justice. The US Attorney your career in big law,

425
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 2: big conservative law is over, Sir, am, I incorrect on that.

426
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 9: Well, I don't know if Jild's Day specifically has said that,

427
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 9: but that's certainly what the word going around to these attorneys.

428
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 9: But you know, frankly, if you have so called Republican

429
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,680
Speaker 9: or conservative attorneys who don't want to go serve because

430
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 9: of that reason, then I don't want them to serve anyway,

431
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 9: because they're cowards and they're gonna they're gonna cuck out

432
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 9: like these so called republican attorneys always do. When when it,

433
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 9: when it becomes when it, when it becomes hens, you

434
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 9: want people who are bold and fearless in these jobs.

435
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,199
Speaker 9: You want the AML bobs in these shops and not

436
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 9: the nold Francisco's.

437
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: Mike will let you bounce. I know you're busy, we're

438
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: article three. You're you're always coming in hot social media,

439
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 2: particularly late at night, maybe after Mike's had an adult

440
00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 2: beverage or two. Where do they go?

441
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 9: Sir? It's article three, projects dot org. Article number three,

442
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 9: Projects dot org. And I don't drink and drive, but

443
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 9: I don't drink and tweet.

444
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 2: Okay, what's the Twitter? What's the Twitter feed?

445
00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 9: Oh, it's m r d D M I A m

446
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 9: R D D M I am.

447
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve, Thank you, sir for making that clear.

448
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: We're going to talk to Cleta about the same topic

449
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 2: and others including Georgia and John Thune. Next in the

450
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 2: war room.

451
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 4: War Room, here's your host, Stephen K.

452
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 2: Bat Okay, let me make sure nomenclature because may we're

453
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 2: talking too much inside Washington Baseball. But this is important

454
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 2: for this audience to understand. Jones Day is a massive

455
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 2: international law firm. It's traditionally had a more of a

456
00:27:20,280 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: conservative event, So it's Jones Day just like Minette Phelps

457
00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: on the West Coast, or Walktel Lipton on Wall Street,

458
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: the Big m and A firm or kirkl Analys out

459
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: in Chicago, which is kind of Obama's. It was the

460
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 2: Obama's Obama's law firm. So jones Day was essentially Cleta

461
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell bringing in here. Jones Day was basically the law firm.

462
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 2: And this happens in a lot of administrations where you've

463
00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 2: got a kind of a lead law firm and a

464
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,920
Speaker 2: bunch of partners or people that want to be partners

465
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 2: come into the government and these Roles White House Council

466
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:55,720
Speaker 2: is one. It's like director of O and B. These

467
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,560
Speaker 2: are the jobs that may not have be super high visibility,

468
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: but they are some of the most important jobs in

469
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: the government. Solicitor General over in the over in main justice,

470
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 2: the two super important. That is the Office of Legal Counsel,

471
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,240
Speaker 2: which writes the fairness opinions on all the executive orders

472
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: to make sure the executive orders of Constitution will stand

473
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 2: up against Supreme Court scrutiny. This is why and what

474
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 2: they call the travel ban that Miller and I work

475
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 2: through and President Trump knew. He says, hey, this thing's

476
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 2: going to withstand the Supreme Court. We had an Office

477
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: of Legal Council opinion. And guess what, hello, besides with

478
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 2: the media, you know, lighting the heirnfire, it withstood it

479
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:36,440
Speaker 2: because Office of Legal Counsel did it. Solicitor General represents

480
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,080
Speaker 2: the government at the Supreme Court is the trial lawyer

481
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: that basically makes the case. John Sower, who I think

482
00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 2: John did a very good job. And I think that's

483
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 2: the opinion that that Kavanaugh gave us the roadmap to

484
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,440
Speaker 2: how did really take and give Trump? President Trump really

485
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: amazing powers and confirm those powers on tariffs, John Sower

486
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: from Missouri, who's done such a great job and working

487
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 2: with President Trump in the years, and the will and

488
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 2: is John Sours a solicitor general. These are major positions.

489
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 2: Jones Day partner. No Francisco, who I thought nol did

490
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: a great job as solicitor general, was the partner there.

491
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: He's now listed on the JP Morgan team. You got

492
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 2: dom Agan's not listed, But Domgan, I just don't understand.

493
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: I know the lawyers taking in DC are good about

494
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: these conflicts, but but Clida and here's the deeper problem.

495
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: It's not just they're coming after President Trump old with

496
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 2: the law firm that represented the first term, is that

497
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 2: the audience wants Georgia done. They want they want, they

498
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,320
Speaker 2: want to get you know, not have the the the

499
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 2: the ballots go back. We want to purp walk Brennan

500
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 2: in all the deep state. The thing that's holding us

501
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 2: up is not the will and not the direction to

502
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 2: get this done. It's basically having the legal talent to

503
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: do it. I mean Clida and and and uh and

504
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 2: uh uh. The folks down in Georgia right now that

505
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,959
Speaker 2: are working uh are are are not officially into the

506
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 2: government because guess what. Main Justice has very few people.

507
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:03,479
Speaker 2: And m will bov Went is now on a on

508
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 2: a on a on an appeals court because they think

509
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 2: Emill Bovy could be a guide that may be tapped

510
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 2: for the Supreme Court.

511
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: Uh.

512
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 2: And that's a huge loss. You have very few people

513
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 2: that Main Justice. We're basically hanging on by our fingertips

514
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 2: over there. And I'm not trying to make I'm not

515
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 2: trying to defend or make excuses for Pam Bondy, but

516
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 2: here's a reality with with of Todd and Pam and

517
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 2: that whole crew, they can't get a ton of talent

518
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 2: in because the big legal community said, no, if you're

519
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 2: going to work for the Trump term, we want to

520
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,400
Speaker 2: represent corporate America, right and uh, and you can't. You're

521
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: not going to have a career here. So whether you

522
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 2: want purp walks of the deep state or you want

523
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: to get to the bottom of what the CIA has

524
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 2: been doing, you want to get to the bottom of

525
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: all this, you need legal talent. Judge Janine is not

526
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 2: somebody that throws in the towel easily. I think that.

527
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying she's thrown the towel over there.

528
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:54,960
Speaker 2: I think it's fake news. But if it does have

529
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 2: a scentilla of truth, it's because of the simple fact

530
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 2: you don't she does have enough legal talent over there.

531
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: Cleta Mitchell thoughts.

532
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 16: Steve, you know, I never disagree with you, I really

533
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 16: never do. But I'm going to disagree with this.

534
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 9: Come.

535
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 16: I've read too many of the papers that have been

536
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 16: written by the lawyers that they have and DJ and

537
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 16: I'll give you an example. You know, Harmie Dillon, the

538
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 16: Civil Rights Division, they've sued all these states. I think

539
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 16: they've sued twenty six states for their voter rolls. Under

540
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,880
Speaker 16: the Civil Rights Act. Federal statute black letter Law says

541
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 16: that the Attorney General shall may request and shall be

542
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 16: given black letter law, shall be given any election records period.

543
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 16: That's what it says. And it says that in Civil

544
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 16: Rights Act. It says that in the Federal Election Records Act. Okay,

545
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 16: they sue all these states. You've got twenty seven, twenty

546
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 16: eight states that have refused to turn over their voter rolls.

547
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: Yep.

548
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,800
Speaker 16: Well, let me tell you an interesting little fact. One

549
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 16: I looked the other I looked it up the other day.

550
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 16: The twenty six states that they have sued. Twenty three

551
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 16: of those states belong to something called Airing, the Election

552
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,640
Speaker 16: Registration Electronic Registration Information Clearinghouse. It is a left wing organization.

553
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 16: It only exists not to clean voter rolls, but states

554
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 16: pay money. It's actually quite brilliant on the part of

555
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 16: the founder. And so you know what they do all

556
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,160
Speaker 16: these states, twenty three of those states belong to ERIC.

557
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 16: And you know what they do. They turn over not

558
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 16: just the voter rolls, but they turn over driver data

559
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,040
Speaker 16: that is forbidden under federal law to be turned over

560
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 16: to any non governmental entity. And so, as I said,

561
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 16: why are you not arguing that these same states that

562
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 16: refused to follow the federal statute to turn over these documents,

563
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 16: these these records to the attorney general as required by

564
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,479
Speaker 16: those laws. They all these states say we're not going

565
00:32:58,520 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 16: to turn over.

566
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: Personal But but hang on, because I'm pressed for time.

567
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 2: What do you disagreeing with me about that. I'm not

568
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 2: saying there's not great talent at at Main Justice and

569
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: with the fourteen or fifteen we've got. But if you

570
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 2: hang on, if you look at the second and third ranks,

571
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 2: the look call call Main Justice, talk to Todd, talk

572
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 2: to in the Office of PAM. They'll tell you the

573
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 2: number one thing they've got is that they can't get

574
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,000
Speaker 2: enough talent because people because people are naturally hesitant. And

575
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 2: that's because the big offer. Are you disagreeing with that?

576
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 16: What I am disagreeing with that? What I am saying

577
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 16: is that they're not making the arguments they need to

578
00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 16: be making. I ask the question, why don't you go

579
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,520
Speaker 16: into court and say, your honor, They won't turn those

580
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 16: things over to us, but they're turning them over to

581
00:33:39,360 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 16: a left wing group. And you know, I was told

582
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 16: we're not allowed to make that argument? What And then

583
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 16: I see that theyre having they're defending that argument the

584
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 16: Justice Department. I mean, the problem I see is that

585
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 16: I worry they don't have the will. What if you've

586
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160
Speaker 16: done to Ed Martin? Where's Ed Martin? He is a

587
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,840
Speaker 16: he's brilliant, he's a fighter. They should be lifting him up.

588
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 16: They are. You know, he's still getting along grope with

589
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 16: the president and all. But there's so much that they.

590
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 2: Could have done.

591
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,719
Speaker 16: All of those people. He pardoned, the electors, he pardoned that,

592
00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,719
Speaker 16: the lawyers, he pardoned everybody. And do you know what

593
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:21,480
Speaker 16: they didn't do? Go look at the d o J website.

594
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 16: See if you can find the pardon letter that was prepared,

595
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 16: the memo that explains why all of these this could

596
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,279
Speaker 16: be done by.

597
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 2: The So you're saying your argument is not simply it's

598
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,279
Speaker 2: not simply a lack of talent or the second and

599
00:34:35,320 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 2: third tier talent. You're saying, even at the top level,

600
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 2: they don't have the will and you've seen this, John,

601
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 2: they don't have the killer in sect, okay.

602
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,320
Speaker 16: Killer instinct. And that's when I don't know, you cannot

603
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 16: push a rope what we used to say in and

604
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 16: there are a lot of ropes at the at DJ.

605
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 2: But hang on, but let's go back and hang let's

606
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 2: go back to the matter at hand in because we

607
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 2: were very concerned, as you remember the last couple of weeks.

608
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 2: This is why we had Harry mcdouglin and other people

609
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 2: in Georgia that were specialists in this case and knew it.

610
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 2: We were quite concerned about this. You are happy with

611
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 2: what they represented last week and filed Okay, let's let's

612
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: go there, and that's a look. I agree with you,

613
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 2: there's not enough going on. But my argument is not

614
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 2: enough going on because they don't have the depth of talent.

615
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 2: You're arguing that you don't think the political will and

616
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 2: if that's the case, we'll send this clip to the

617
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,280
Speaker 2: president and make sure he has a chat with people,

618
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:32,800
Speaker 2: because he's definitely got the will and it's very focused

619
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,280
Speaker 2: on this, and make sure he sees all your clips.

620
00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 2: So talk to me about let's talk before Thune, because

621
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 2: we're talking about lack of will there talking to me

622
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:43,759
Speaker 2: about Georgia. Are you happy with the government's response and

623
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 2: the team that came together in the government's response and

624
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 2: are we even going to trial on Friday or is

625
00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 2: the judge going to dismiss it?

626
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:54,320
Speaker 16: Well, that's a really good question. Yes, I'm very happy

627
00:35:54,360 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 16: with the pleadings that they filed. They filed two papers

628
00:35:58,040 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 16: in response to the the fleetings, the petition filed by

629
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,439
Speaker 16: the county commissioners and the Board of Elections, who don't

630
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 16: even have custody and control the ballots and election materials.

631
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,720
Speaker 16: Those are under the custody and control of the court clerk.

632
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,840
Speaker 16: And so the first thing that the DJ are they

633
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 16: did go in and I've made a pest of myself

634
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,680
Speaker 16: to the point that buddy at DJ finally said in response,

635
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,120
Speaker 16: we said, what's wrong with you, Klita, I said, what

636
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,760
Speaker 16: is wrong with me is I'm worried that you guys

637
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 16: are not fighting, and I don't I want you to fight.

638
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,640
Speaker 16: So they have, and I give them full credit. They

639
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,000
Speaker 16: brought in lawyers, they've had some people who are not

640
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 16: even in the criminal division but who've stepped in to

641
00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 16: help them. And you mentioned John Sower, and there's I

642
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 16: have a huge amount of respect for John Souer. He's

643
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,839
Speaker 16: a true uh he's a true conservative, true magat conservative

644
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 16: and a great so.

645
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,799
Speaker 2: I think I think sours fantastic and I thought his

646
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 2: arguments on the tariffs. Now now, but let me ask you,

647
00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 2: given the overwhelming response, because they put senior main justice

648
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 2: people on this, given the overwhelming blowout of the water response,

649
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: why is this even a thing? How come this judge

650
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 2: is not dismissed it. It appears now we are going

651
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 2: to go to either hearing or you call it a

652
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 2: trial on Friday. Correct in Georgia. This has not been

653
00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 2: shut down with the judge, not yet.

654
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,839
Speaker 16: But what happened was the Department of Justice came in

655
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 16: and fought person. They filed the response to They filed

656
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:34,279
Speaker 16: a really thorough response on the factual issues and then

657
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 16: they came in and filed another motion, which was to say, hey,

658
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 16: why are we even having this evidentiary hearing? This is

659
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 16: highly unusual, totally improper. And so they really did come

660
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,359
Speaker 16: in and they asked the judge to cancel the evidentiary

661
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,080
Speaker 16: hearing and made a very good pleading with wants and

662
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 16: lots of citations. I think the most hilarious are most

663
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 16: part is they cited the Eleventh Circuit case when President

664
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 16: Trump had gone in in the mar A Lago ray

665
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 16: case and tried to get tried to do what the

666
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 16: Fulton County plainists are trying to do, and the Eleventh

667
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 16: Circuit said, no, you can't do that. So they're fighting.

668
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 16: So now the Department of Justice, Trump's Department of Justice

669
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 16: is citing that case as the reason why Fulton County

670
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 16: can't have its way here, which I thought was pretty ironic.

671
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 16: But no, the Department of Justice has stepped up. They've

672
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,799
Speaker 16: done a really good job. But look, I've been I've

673
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 16: been reading these cases and orders and watching these judges,

674
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 16: both state and federal in Fulton County, Georgia for five years,

675
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 16: and I can just tell you that there's something in

676
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 16: the water down there, and who knows what this judge

677
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 16: will do. I have know you just never know what

678
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,879
Speaker 16: these judges there. I don't know what's wrong with them,

679
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 16: but that's it's a problem with a lot.

680
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: They're protecting a they're protecting a Republican apparatus that knows

681
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 2: these things are being stolen. Going along with that, let

682
00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 2: me pivot and I'm gonna hold you through the break

683
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 2: because I got to do McCrory in North Carolina. This

684
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 2: letter to John than one of the reasons I think

685
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 2: if you, if you could argue they got a lack

686
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 2: of will over at Justice is the people that confirm

687
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 2: them have a real lack of will in the US Senate.

688
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 2: Tell me about the letter you've sent John Thune about

689
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,839
Speaker 2: the Save America Act.

690
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:24,160
Speaker 16: Well eighty organizations signed a letter to John Thune, which

691
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 16: is delivered yesterday. You can find it on EI Watchdogs,

692
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:37,720
Speaker 16: which is the Election Integery Network, Twitter, x X, location, whatever.

693
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 16: And basically this third paragraph is the most important. It

694
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:45,399
Speaker 16: basically says to John Thune. Look, here's one thing every

695
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 16: night everybody needs to understand. We have worked been working

696
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 16: really hard to educate ourselves and a few others leaders.

697
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 16: Anybody who wants to about these Senate rules because we

698
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 16: want to know how it is that these Senators utilize

699
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,640
Speaker 16: these rules to avoid votevoting, to avoid doing real work,

700
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 16: to avoid legislating. And so when we passed when Shiproy

701
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 16: and Mike Lee came up with the idea of doing

702
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 16: the Save America Act, and what they did was it

703
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:16,919
Speaker 16: was put into a bill. They've stripped out a bill

704
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,399
Speaker 16: that had already passed the Senate, a Rick Scott bill,

705
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 16: and so took all the content out of it and

706
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 16: put in it. Put in that Senate vehicle that bill

707
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 16: the content that the Save America Act. So now then

708
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:31,240
Speaker 16: it has gone back to the Senate from the House,

709
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 16: not as a House bill, but as a Senate bill

710
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,799
Speaker 16: returning to the Senate, which means that then can call

711
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,400
Speaker 16: that up at any time and it can proceed to

712
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 16: the immediate consideration media vote.

713
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 2: Hang on for one second. We're going to come back

714
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 2: and explain this to the audience of how this structure

715
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 2: works to get Save America passed. State of the Union Day.

00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 2: believe the speech is not going to be short, so

728
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: let's say that. I think it'll I think it will

Speaker 2: clearly go through at least through an hour. President Trump.

730
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:38,400

00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,439
Speaker 2: analysis of not just simply what he's accomplished, but why

732
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 2: he's accomplished it and what it looks like going forward.

733
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:47,360
Speaker 2: This will be his chance to address the nation, his

734
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 2: biggest chance to address the nation before the midterms traditionally,

735

00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:46,120
Speaker 2: to a standing or talking filibuster, which the president keeps passing.

772
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 2: So if you've got this special magic, why are we

773
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:50,239
Speaker 2: not using the special magic, ma'am?

774
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 16: Well, because they're not used to. It's a two step process.

775
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 16: I didn't quite finish the process. Sorry, I got yeah

776
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,760
Speaker 16: to talk too much. But if he moves for a

777
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 16: floature vote to go to sixty votes to cut off

778
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:11,200
Speaker 16: debate instead of having a filibuster, then that is everybody

779
00:44:11,239 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 16: just needs to know that that is he's intentionally killing

780
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 16: the bill. He doesn't have to do that this is

781
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 16: a two step process. Step one, because of the weights

782
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 16: come back from the House, it can go immediately to

783
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 16: the floor on a motion to proceed, and it only

784
00:44:26,040 --> 00:44:28,879
Speaker 16: takes fifty one votes to do that. He's got those

785
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 16: fifty one votes. But then what happens is make them

786
00:44:32,800 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 16: have the filibuster, make the Democrats come down and talk.

787
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,360
Speaker 16: And that's what they're afraid of. I mean, that's apparently

788
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 16: what Soon is afraid of. And he has these other bills.

789
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 16: He wants to bring up, the farm bill, the Highway bill,

790
00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 16: no nothing. Yes, we need to get DHS reopened. We

791
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,200
Speaker 16: absolutely need to get that done. But this should be

792
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:56,760
Speaker 16: part of the negotiations that the motion to proceed allows

793
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 16: this bill to Save America Act to come to the floor.

794
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 2: Get let's get the need. Yeah, let's get Let's get

795
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,160
Speaker 2: the letter back up there. Grace Moan and Elizabeth will

796
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 2: push it out because we've got the letter. Just what

797
00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:09,720
Speaker 2: is the purpose of the letter? What do you, guys

798
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 2: hope these eighty groups conservative groups come together. What do

799
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 2: you hope to achieve? What is your purpose on this?

800
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 16: To make him understand that we know the drill you

801
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 16: talked about the insider games that they play in the

802
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 16: Senate to keep from having to do anything, and we

803
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 16: want him to know we had all our Republican senators

804
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 16: to know that just saying they're going to vote for

805
00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 16: the bill, that's huge and we appreciate it. But now

806
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:35,520
Speaker 16: we want them to make the Democrats actually engage in

807
00:45:35,560 --> 00:45:39,680
Speaker 16: the talking filibuster and they'll give out. They'll be exhausted

808
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:42,960
Speaker 16: after a few days or a week, and that's fine.

809
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 16: And then then then when they quit talking, which they

810
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 16: will at some point, then the bill can be considered

811
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 16: with fifty one votes in past if we make the Democrats.

812
00:45:54,960 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 2: Talk, if we have fifty one votes, because I think

813
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 2: McConnell will work against it anyway, hangar for a second.

814
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 2: I want to play, you know, and I think the

815
00:46:03,080 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 2: Hill newspaper today has an article talking about this coming

816
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: together of these groups to basically say we're going to work.

817
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:13,760
Speaker 2: These are Republicans that we're going to wait out Trump

818
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,759
Speaker 2: and we're going to retake the Republican Party. We're going

819
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 2: to get rid of MAGA, We're going to get rid

820
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 2: of the populous nationalist Saul. Trump's just a bad dream,

821
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,440
Speaker 2: a summer storm that's passing through. Let's play can we

822
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 2: play McCrory again, because this guy's a beauty. Let's play

823
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 2: him dumping on President Trump on MSNBC.

824
00:46:30,440 --> 00:46:34,440
Speaker 1: Is the pre Trump Republican Party gone, never to be revived? Governor.

825
00:46:36,440 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 3: No, I think we've had these streets of populism, never

826
00:46:39,719 --> 00:46:42,399
Speaker 3: to this example over a personality.

827
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,040
Speaker 2: But this is a populist movement.

828
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,240
Speaker 3: And maybe there was a reason for the populist movement

829
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: because the left went too far left, and some of

830
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 3: it's rhetoric and there's pushback against it. But you know,

831
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 3: when I was on the campaign trail as governor with

832
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: President like Trump or the candidate Trump, I never wore

833
00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:02,719
Speaker 3: a magnat because I never know what it meant.

834
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,279
Speaker 4: I don't listen.

835
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 3: When I was governor, mayor, I never let anybody use

836
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,960
Speaker 3: slogans around me because I think slogans don't say anything.

837
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 3: And we still.

838
00:47:10,480 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 2: Stopped full stop. He went around folks, listen, Trump winever

839
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 2: and let this guy go. He was running for reelection

840
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 2: in Carolina. President Trump pulled it out, I think with

841
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: a point point a half North Carolina in sixteen, and

842
00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:27,799
Speaker 2: that's the one I was most concerned about. Meadows and

843
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 2: his wife told us early enough. We got this that

844
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,839
Speaker 2: last ten days, we could go focus on crashing the

845
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: Blue Wall, which delivered the victory, the historic victory. McCrory lost.

846
00:47:40,040 --> 00:47:42,759
Speaker 2: He's bragging about not wearing a MAGA. You got your

847
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:46,000
Speaker 2: ass kicked by Cooper. Dude, you're a balt And then

848
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 2: he came. He came to Trump Tower and on his

849
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 2: knees beg for a job. I'm a populist. I so

850
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 2: much believe in make America great again. President elect Trump

851
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:59,640

Speaker 2: your ass kicked and Trump won your state and he

867
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 2: couldn't even drag you across the line. You were so

868
