WEBVTT - Shameless Democrats 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:16.520 You are entering the freedom Hudge. The resistance thinks they 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:20.160 have achieved victory over Trump, but my friends, they celebrate 0:00:20.239 --> 0:00:23.720 far too early. This president will fight through, push through, 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.640 and come out victorious. On the other side, we'll talk 0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:30.800 about that, plus what's going on in Sweden. A party 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.720 on the far right is gaining a lot of ground. 0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:37.440 Here's a hint immigration And also speaking of immigration, how 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.800 has the left handled the Molly Tibbots case. We'll get 0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:42.320 into that a much more coming up on The Buck 0:00:42.360 --> 0:00:46.519 Sexton Show. This is the Buck Sexton Show, where the 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.800 mission or mission is to decode what really matters with 0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:56.800 actionable intelligence. Mag Noor mistake America, You're great American Again. 0:00:56.920 --> 0:01:06.520 The Buck Sexton Show begins on the Analys No. Welcome 0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:08.800 to the Buck Sex and Show. Everybody. Great to have 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:11.880 you here with me as always. You know what I'm 0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:14.240 I'm I'm here to be a little ray of sunshine today, folks. 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.800 I know it's a tough one out there and Trump 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.600 supporter land for some of you list, I think a 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:19.680 lot of you are like, you know what, Buck, No, 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.800 it's not it's fine, It's gonna be fine. They got 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:25.800 they got nothing. They still got nothing. There's still no collusion. 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.920 But we sit here and we understand that one. I mean, 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:33.040 the left has completely lost their minds. The Democrat Party, 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.080 because it has no scruples, has a tremendous amount of 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.520 area to maneuver. Right, can do anything it wants to do, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.920 can find any number of different ways to come at 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:45.600 the president. Ohmment, he's crazy. Oh, he's a racist. We 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:48.440 have to get rid of him because of you know, racism, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:52.360 always a Russian stooge. Oh now it's obstruction. Oh I'm sorry. Actually, 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.880 now it's campaign finance. Finally, they just come at him 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:59.320 with new charges all the time, charge after charge after charge. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.760 As I keep telling you, what is more probable that 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.680 there are people who refuse to accept that he is 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.280 the president, that he defeated Hillary Clinton in a free 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:11.440 and fair election because they have lost power and prestige 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:13.920 and even a sense of self as a result of 0:02:14.000 --> 0:02:19.240 Hillary's loss, Or that Trump just has broken all of 0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:23.160 these different laws. Never any proof of any of it, though, 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.520 But he's broken all these different laws, and they're just 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:28.800 hot on his trail and they're figuring it out. I 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.960 think we all know the answer to this. UM. I 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:36.800 think that this is a moment in time that is 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:41.760 testing us because we understand that the other side will 0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.400 stop at nothing, they will do anything that they can, 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.120 and they are celebrating this. There's no small part of 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:56.440 me that feels disdain for those who want to celebrate 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.840 the downfall of a presidency which has not happened. My 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:03.639 rents and I believe in my heart of hearts absolutely 0:03:03.639 --> 0:03:07.920 will not happen. But that folks would want to celebrate 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.920 that at a time when actually the country is doing 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.239 so very well tells you all you need to know 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.520 about them. And the same Democrats that want Trump to 0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.200 get impeached, to get removed from office, to or even 0:03:18.200 --> 0:03:20.920 to get criminally prosecutor the ones that you know, we're 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:24.560 happy to root against our soldiers and their safety in 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.000 the Iraq War, remember the Pelosi era and the House 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.560 Representatives two thousand and six, two thousand sevent eight. Oh yeah, 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:34.200 that's right. There were Democrats who are hoping we were 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.320 going to be even more bloodied in Iraq than we 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:40.440 were because it would it would be hard for Bush. 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:44.560 That's right, that was what the mindset was, and I 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.400 saw it. I remember I was in the c I 0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:48.680 as a rock office, and I was briefing people going 0:03:48.720 --> 0:03:51.080 down to Capitol Hill, meeting with the top policymakers, meeting 0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.160 with the president. And I remember what the Democrats were 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.440 like that. Now that mentality has just shifted. Instead of 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.880 Bush is a war criminal, it's Trump is a can 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:05.160 paying finance criminal. Is that even? Is that even a thing? 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.200 The dirsh waited on this one. We also interviewed him 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:14.120 on my show Rising This Morning, Play four teen. Some 0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:18.760 stations are already playing the funeral music for President Trump. 0:04:18.800 --> 0:04:22.040 But this is much more complicated and much more nuanced. 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.520 First of all, the crime itself is very very vague. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:28.800 They try to put Edwards, the former presidential candidate, on trial, 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.719 and of course they got an acquittal. But second, it 0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:36.080 really require depends completely on the credibility of Cone. And remember, 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:41.080 as Judge Ellis said, when they squeeze people like Metaphor 0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:44.640 or Cohen, uh, they squeeze them not only to sing, 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:48.360 but sometimes to compose. And it's very easy to embellish 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.800 a story. This is the beginning of a story that 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:55.279 will unravel over time, but it's not nearly as deadly 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:59.919 lethal as some have portrayed as being. Now you mentioned 0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:03.160 John Edwards, John Edwards for those who may have forgotten. 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:11.360 Was a particularly only a genius politician, He was a 0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:18.880 He was a slimy fellow. Was known to conjure, and 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:20.760 I mean that in the in the sort of older 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:23.400 sense of the term, to to bring up to be 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:28.560 a conjurer of the voices of dead children for the 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:33.600 purposes of swaying juries. To give very large verdicts to 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:40.039 people who were plaintiffs suing hospitals and or doctors. That 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.120 was how John Edwards made his money. Yeah, and I 0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.039 mean he actually this was on court record. I claimed 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.560 to speak for a dead child. The dead child was 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:52.279 speaking through him. That was who John Edwards was. Vice 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:55.960 presidential candidate folks for the Democratic Party at different times. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.040 I mean I think he won a number of primaries 0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.880 at different times. Was number two in the UH in 0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:08.280 the running for the Democrat presidential nomination. And he had 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.720 a love child with is that is that the property 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.320 whatever the term is. He had a child out of 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:17.800 wedlock with a real hunter who had been his videographer. 0:06:17.839 --> 0:06:19.200 He had hired her after made He were in a 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:23.560 bar where I meet all my videographers, and they had 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:26.359 an affair and his wife was dying of from cancer 0:06:26.600 --> 0:06:31.560 at the time, and some of his when he was 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.800 running for office. When Edwards was running for office, some 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.480 of his supporters arranged for I think a million dollars 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.880 or so to take care of his mistress and the child, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.839 to pay for their upkeep and everything else, and to 0:06:43.920 --> 0:06:49.240 keep this quiet. So they brought charges against him. Charges 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:52.240 were brought against John Edwards for that, and there was 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.640 no conviction of John Edwards. So I just want to know, 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:58.680 get given that that was the outcome there, why why 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:03.479 would the outcome here with a a much lesser issue, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.920 with much less clarity as to Trump's involvement or whether 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.960 Trump really knew and at what point he knew. I 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:10.960 know he said earlier today and interview the Fox he 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:13.760 only knew things later on. Why would we think that 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.880 this would then? If that was not criminal? My friends, 0:07:17.280 --> 0:07:19.720 how could anyone really think that this would be criminal? 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:25.200 With Trump? It's as though we've we we have. I'll 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:27.400 be talking about running the experiment in the economy later, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.840 but we've run the experiment from a criminal justice standpoint 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.960 on this, and everything for Trump was should be, should 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:39.080 be fine, and I believe he he will be um 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:41.680 this is interesting, But the one more noting from our 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:45.200 friend Andie McCarthy on Cohen's role on all this play fifteen. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.120 These guys got on the government's cross hairs because of 0:07:51.160 --> 0:07:55.280 their connections to first candidate and now President Trump. I 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.240 don't think there's any question about that. But I do 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.240 think that the Cohen case ended up in the Southern 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:08.120 District because Mueller didn't see him Cohen as somebody who 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:12.640 was going to advance his Russia investigation, and the Southern 0:08:12.640 --> 0:08:15.840 District had a different line of interest in Colin. I 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.920 don't think they regard him as a witness. I think 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.960 for precisely the reason you've pointed out. You know, he's 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.080 made statements that are all over the map. They did 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:28.240 elicit that from him today when he gave his allocution 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.960 at his guilty plea. But I think if they regarded 0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:33.839 him as a valuable witness or a cooperator, you'd see 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:36.600 a very different kind of plea agreement. Yeah, that's right. 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.440 I don't think Cohen's got anything. Folks, his lawyers trying 0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:40.840 to make it seem like he does, trying to get 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:42.679 a better deal, trying to get a little sympathy for him. 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:44.800 I don't think Cohen's got any goods because there's no 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.720 goods to be had. One more thing, I'm more taught 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:51.280 with this more and I gotta get to the Supreme 0:08:51.360 --> 0:08:53.440 Court and how they're not trying to make this effect. 0:08:53.440 --> 0:08:55.880 The Supreme Court and the Democrats are utterly shameless. As 0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:02.400 you know. Trump is um is a movement. One thing 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.479 that I have to remark on excited it's it's fascinating 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:08.679 to me is that the Left seems to think if 0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:11.199 they were able to impeach and maybe even remove this president, 0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:14.200 that they would stop everything that he stood for. When 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:19.760 I think that in many ways they have no idea 0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.240 what they will have unleashed on themselves politically speaking, if 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:30.120 they stop this president through a legal weaponization, through this 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:33.680 which hunt process, because trump Ism will continue on even 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:37.480 beyond Trump, whether it's six years or six months from now, 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.040 if he were to step down, We've got a lot 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.120 more show coming. Eight four to five, eight four buck 0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:48.920 stay with me. The Judiciary Committee should postpone Judge Kavanaugh's 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:53.480 hearings at this moment in our nation's history. The Senate 0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.520 should not confirm a man to the bench who believes 0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:01.320 that presidents are virtually beyond accountability, even in criminal cases. 0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:05.720 The doubts about Judge Kavanaugh's fitness for the bench were 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:11.600 just magnified by Mr Cohen's plea agreement. The prospect of 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:16.320 the president being implicated in some criminal case is no 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:21.000 longer a hypothetical that can be dismissed. It's very real. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:28.360 Oh what a surprise. Now the Supreme Court is also 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.600 going to be they think at one of the political 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:36.520 spoils that they can count on here, Chuck Schumer immediately 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:42.280 jumping onto this one. Uh, the idea that they would 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:46.880 delay the they would delay the confirmation hearing of Kavanaugh 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:50.199 is is so classic, isn't it. By the way, that 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:52.280 they're not going to win the sett anyway, So what's 0:10:52.280 --> 0:10:55.080 this going to be. What they're really saying, though, is 0:10:55.120 --> 0:10:58.080 that Trump is not the president, you see. That's what 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.360 they're tapping into here. That's where they get this idea 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.800 that they can get away with saying things like, well, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:10.000 it's you know, the Supreme Court would be illegitimate. In fact, 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:13.520 that's what some Democrats are saying. There is a line 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:20.000 out there now that essentially says the Supreme Court would 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.600 be an illegitimate institution if Kavanaugh was put on it 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:26.559 by Trump. Krugman. I think the New York Times takes 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:30.200 this line because essentially Trump is not no longer really 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.640 the president, not my president. Has turned it into no, no, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.920 not my president. They think this is this is real, 0:11:37.440 --> 0:11:39.200 and this is what brings you back to folks. This 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:44.040 is all political. It is all political, okay. They it's 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.560 not that Trump has is the worst person ever who's 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:49.840 done all these terrible things and all this other stuff. No, 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.000 that's not what's happened. I know you know this, but 0:11:52.040 --> 0:11:55.600 we we have to remind ourselves of it. They have 0:11:55.960 --> 0:12:00.000 done everything that they can to weaponize the Department of Justice, 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:03.920 weaponized federal prosecutors against the administration and the terror I mean, 0:12:03.960 --> 0:12:06.720 the part of this that just drives me insane is 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:10.120 that the administration, the Trump administration, should have stopped this 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:14.360 in the very beginning. Never should have had a Jeff 0:12:14.400 --> 0:12:17.120 Sessions recused himself, you know, just it never should have 0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.160 been allowed to happen. It was a huge mistake. Those 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.280 of you who have been listening to the show for 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.800 a long time now. I was opposed to the appointment 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:27.840 of a special counsel the whole time from day one, 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:29.840 and said there's a bad idea it's a bad idea 0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.160 because I knew this is exactly what would happen. The 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.920 Special Counsel would be created to look into Russia collusion 0:12:37.040 --> 0:12:39.320 and deal with the threat to our democracy, and then 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:42.040 it would just be subpoena this, subpoena that, bring this person, 0:12:42.080 --> 0:12:44.000 and bring that person, and charge this one with lying, 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.920 charge that one with tax raw and charge that one 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.080 with you know, obstruction, whatever it is. It would just 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:56.080 become a vessel for the Democrats to get vengeance via 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.760 the legal system, and in doing so. I mean, these 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.920 are the people that have been lecture ring us about 0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:06.880 institutions and about they're the ones. How can you take 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:12.959 seriously that Democrats have not politicized in ways that I 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.679 don't even know if we'll ever be able to repair 0:13:16.120 --> 0:13:22.400 the federal justice system. I mean, this is we saw this, folks. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:24.200 We saw this with the way that the I R. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:27.080 S was used to go after conservative groups, and everyone said, oh, well, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.400 you know, maybe it was just a little just a 0:13:30.400 --> 0:13:33.079 little mistake, just a little whoopsie. No, it was much 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:37.520 worse than that. There's no accountability there whatsoever. But they 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:43.680 weaponize this state against citizens that generally speaking, I have 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:47.440 problems with the state and here with this with the 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.080 Supreme Court fight. You know, you can see that there, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:52.240 this is all it means to an end all these 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:56.080 all these different prosecutions, they're bringing all these cases, everything 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:58.720 that they're doing. They say it's about Russia collusion. They 0:13:58.720 --> 0:14:03.640 say it's about finding some you know, formulation that will 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.960 allow them to, uh, you know, to to go in 0:14:06.960 --> 0:14:09.960 front of the American people and say, well, you know, 0:14:10.000 --> 0:14:13.240 we've investigated the Russia collusion with Trump and this is 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.280 what we found. They're just looking to get stuff like this. 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:20.160 They're trying to get Cohen on his taxi licenses or 0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:24.240 his taxes or is whatever, and flip people and flip people, 0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:26.680 and you know, yeah, do I think that Trump made 0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:28.520 a mistake by having some of these people around. I'm 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:32.400 sure you know. Do I think that when Scaramucci met 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:35.720 me in the green room at Fox News way before 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:38.280 Trump took office, he should have been like, hey, you 0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.800 you're really smart and very ethical. I should actually make 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:44.000 you like Deputy White House Press secretary. Yeah, they probably 0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:46.720 should have done something like that. I'm just saying I'm 0:14:46.760 --> 0:14:49.400 not gonna be shy about it. I said, hey, mooch, 0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:52.840 how can I help Mooch. Mooch didn't want my help, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:57.320 so Mooch lasted five days, seven days or whatever it was. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:00.880 Boch could have used my help. Uh, but you know 0:15:00.880 --> 0:15:03.000 that they brought in that he brought in some very 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:04.880 bad people, There's no question about it. And he had 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.600 coming around and well before the campaign. But you know, people, 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.200 I get it. People. They have an affinity for an individual, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:13.640 and you know, you know, you think you can trust 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.160 somebody until you can't. But this whole thing about the 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:21.920 Supreme Court, this is laughable. What what constitutional basis is? Well, 0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.640 we have some guy who's a convicted felon and a 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:27.560 and on the record a liar who says that the 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:29.760 president told them to do something illegal. So now he 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.280 does is he not the president anymore? No, No, that's 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.480 not how this works. You don't get to use an 0:15:35.480 --> 0:15:40.480 allegation to uh, to take back a Supreme Court pick. Ultimately, 0:15:40.520 --> 0:15:44.120 these people are really they're they're also worried about Roe v. Wade. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:45.920 You know, Oh my gosh, what would what would we 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:47.560 do in a world where women just have to actually 0:15:47.640 --> 0:15:51.640 have their babies? How will how would democrats face such 0:15:51.680 --> 0:15:55.520 a daunting and horrific future? That's what keeps them up 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.160 at night that everybody that that babies get to live. 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.640 I mean, this is the Democratic Party. It's really sick. 0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:08.280 It is they got they've very deep rooted problems, and 0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:11.560 they've they've turned this anger on Trump. You know, there's 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.720 no effort whatsoever to convince the American people that Democrats 0:16:14.720 --> 0:16:16.920 have any good ideas. Every time they try to talk 0:16:16.920 --> 0:16:19.640 about an idea, they sound like a bunch of idiots. Oh, 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:24.080 Kasio Cortez, free school, free this, free that. You know 0:16:24.320 --> 0:16:26.800 he's gonna do more. You're gonna do more for minorities. 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:29.440 Do what, Well nothing, We're just we're gonna do more 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.800 for them. Well, well, what does that even mean? Stop 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:36.120 asking so many questions. You must be racist. This is 0:16:36.160 --> 0:16:39.120 the entire opposition effort. This is what the Democratic Party's 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:46.920 turned into, a bunch of little bureaucrat tyrants. They use 0:16:47.000 --> 0:16:50.400 the and I know it's yes, Look, guys, I agree, 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:55.040 it's a problem that you have Trump in power. But 0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:57.560 then again, look at what happens even though he's in power. 0:16:57.680 --> 0:16:59.640 You know, he's got people in the Department of Justice 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.680 that I eat him and he can't get rid of them. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:02.960 And if you did get rid of them, people would 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.080 mutiny and they would freak out. You have these deep 0:17:06.119 --> 0:17:08.919 state elements. These leave behind most of the mostly from 0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.440 the Obama administration, but silom have been around for decades. 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.920 They hate Trump. He can't get rid of them. And 0:17:15.000 --> 0:17:18.719 every time he tries to exert his constitutional executive authority, 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.240 you've got people up. Whether it's a some random federal 0:17:21.320 --> 0:17:23.240 judge or somebody else. You know, they come out and 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:28.240 try to stop him and take away his constitutionally granted authority. 0:17:28.240 --> 0:17:32.879 Even though the whole thing is just a mess. And 0:17:33.000 --> 0:17:34.960 I know that right now it's tough for some people 0:17:34.960 --> 0:17:37.679 to stand beside the president. But look, it's for me. 0:17:37.720 --> 0:17:41.359 It's not really about Trump. It's about the agenda. It 0:17:41.520 --> 0:17:44.080 is not about the man. I don't really care about 0:17:44.359 --> 0:17:49.040 the man. He is there to serve a purpose. He 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:52.040 is in a role. He has powers for a reason 0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.200 as long as he is using those powers. Two ends 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:57.359 that I agree with, and also, by the way, think 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:02.280 are beneficial to all of us, are in the long run, 0:18:02.600 --> 0:18:07.960 going to promote uh wealth and I mean for all 0:18:08.000 --> 0:18:10.520 of us as in the sense of prosperity and and 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.800 it better outcomes for the American people that will greater, 0:18:14.000 --> 0:18:16.159 have greater respect for our freedom and our liberty and 0:18:16.160 --> 0:18:21.360 our individual dignity and rights. I'm supportive of it. All 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.119 this other stuff, you know, the stuff Stormy Daniels and 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.760 Avanadi and the media, that's the whole thing is just 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.640 such a circus. It's such a circus. And it's because 0:18:29.680 --> 0:18:32.960 the Democrats offer up nothing in response. We've we've seen now, 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.720 we've had that if we've run the experiment, folks, We've 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.280 run the experiment, and Trump is better at the economy 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.280 than Obama was. That's what's going on. We've run the 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.359 experiment and Trump understands business better than the leaders of 0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:50.880 the Democrat Party. That's it. They can they can say 0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:52.800 they want to fight against as they can say that 0:18:52.880 --> 0:18:56.600 you know, it's oh it's the Obama economy, that's all noise. 0:18:57.240 --> 0:18:59.800 Oh and that we shouldn't have Trump appointed Supreme Court 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:04.080 just says why this is ridiculous. But you know, I worry. 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:07.560 I think Jeff Flake is still on safari. I mean, 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.080 I'm seeing being serious, I think he's on safari. He was, 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:14.040 and people like, is he coming back meaning in time 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.480 to vote? No one really knows. I think Brussour is 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:21.760 a disgrace. I suspect I'll be taking it away very quickly. 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:26.400 I think that Brussour is a disgrace with his wife Nelly, 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.000 for him to be in the Justice departments and to 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:32.439 be doing what he did, that is a disgrace. That 0:19:32.640 --> 0:19:36.320 is disqualifying for Mueller. And Mr Mueller has a lot 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:40.240 of conflicts also directly yourself. So you know that Mr 0:19:40.320 --> 0:19:44.680 Mueller is highly conflicted. In fact, Tomy is like his 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.760 best friend. I could go into conflict after conflict, but 0:19:48.920 --> 0:19:52.520 sadly Mr Mueller is conflicted. But let him write his report. 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:55.919 We did nothing, there's no collusion. But if he was 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:59.199 doing an honest report, he'd write it on the other side, 0:19:59.560 --> 0:20:03.000 because when you look at criminality and you look at problems, 0:20:03.240 --> 0:20:06.280 take a look at what they did, including colluding with 0:20:06.320 --> 0:20:12.320 the Russians. The other side, what was Bruce Or doing right? 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.520 You remember Bruce Or was I think number four the 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.720 Department of Justice and very much involved in the dossier, 0:20:17.880 --> 0:20:21.439 Russia collusion and all that stuff. His name is popped 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:24.560 up a bunch. You remember his wife, Nellie Or was 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.119 actually an employee of Fusion GPS, which paid for and 0:20:28.160 --> 0:20:32.200 then manufactured uh the dossier sent helped pay and send 0:20:32.240 --> 0:20:34.439 it around. Right, all this stuff going on, So the 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.520 big question is what was Bruce or doing And it 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:39.720 is the one that our next guest addresses in her 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:42.560 latest column. Kim Strassol is with us now. She's on 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:44.879 the Wall Street Journal at a chorial board. She's a 0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:48.880 columnist also the author of The Intimidation Game. Kim. Great 0:20:48.920 --> 0:20:50.840 to have you on. Thank you so much for joining. Uh, 0:20:50.880 --> 0:20:52.919 I just want to pose your question to you. So, 0:20:53.040 --> 0:20:56.960 what the heck was Bruce doing? Hi? Hi, Buck, thanks 0:20:57.000 --> 0:21:00.399 for having me on. Well, look here's you know what 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:06.520 he's doing. He was funneling information from Christopher Steele, the 0:21:06.720 --> 0:21:10.639 obviously the author of the infamous dossier from Christopher Steele 0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:13.359 to the FBI. And the reason that this matters is 0:21:13.440 --> 0:21:17.320 that the FBI had already terminated Christopher Steele as a 0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:21.080 confidential human source. He had broken all of the FBI's 0:21:21.320 --> 0:21:24.240 rules by talking to the press, and so they said, 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.719 we can no longer work with you. And yet we 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.720 now find that months after that happened, Bruce or the 0:21:29.880 --> 0:21:32.919 senior Member of the Judiciary, is act or at the 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:36.719 Justice Department, is acting as an intermediary and and sending 0:21:36.760 --> 0:21:41.160 information from Christopher Steele to the FBI. And he's doing 0:21:41.200 --> 0:21:46.120 that even though his wife works for the same organization 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:49.200 that Christopher Steele does. He obviously has a huge conflict 0:21:49.240 --> 0:21:51.960 of interest. He does not disclose this, at least not 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:54.280 in his financial forms and as so far as we know, 0:21:54.400 --> 0:21:57.320 not to his superiors. Um and so that's an issue 0:21:57.359 --> 0:22:01.359 as well too. Now this would seem to me to 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:03.520 be a case of kim ra We would already have 0:22:03.560 --> 0:22:06.240 a lot of answers here. Why haven't Why have we 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:08.560 heard more about this guy? I mean the conflict of 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:12.960 interest just in that his his wife was Look, I 0:22:13.000 --> 0:22:14.399 think we can all assume that he was talking to 0:22:14.440 --> 0:22:16.920 his wife a lot, right, they lived together, uh, and 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:21.040 she she helped bring this information to him. How can 0:22:21.080 --> 0:22:23.080 the FBI justify any this or do we just not 0:22:23.200 --> 0:22:26.640 know what the FBI really says about it? Well, they 0:22:26.640 --> 0:22:29.040 haven't even tried to justify it, and I think because 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:32.840 it's unjustifiable. And this is an important point I tried 0:22:32.880 --> 0:22:34.800 to make in the columns. It up until now, the 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.200 FBI has continued to insist it did nothing wrong during 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.359 despite you know, everything that we know about what they 0:22:42.400 --> 0:22:45.840 did do about using the dossier, not telling the court 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:50.720 entirely about the dossier running informants into a presidential campaign. 0:22:50.800 --> 0:22:52.399 I mean, these are things that I think should be 0:22:52.480 --> 0:22:54.480 very troubling to anyone, no matter what side of the 0:22:54.480 --> 0:22:57.119 aisle you're on. But throughout that they have insisted did 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:01.320 nothing wrong. This clearly is problematic, um, not just in 0:23:01.440 --> 0:23:04.320 terms of what Mr or himself did and the fact 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:07.920 that he didn't disclose it, um, but that the FBI 0:23:08.119 --> 0:23:12.720 chose to use him because again, remember that this informant 0:23:12.760 --> 0:23:15.879 program or source program that they had that Mr. Steele 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:17.760 was part of, that they were using. It's not some 0:23:17.840 --> 0:23:22.120 willy nilly thing. It's got rules, guidelines, his entire manual gathering, 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:25.679
