WEBVTT - No Collusion. No Obstruction. Total Vindication! 0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:15.800 You are entering the freedom hunt. The Mulla report is out. 0:00:16.040 --> 0:00:21.520 I've read it. Guess what, No collusion, no obstruction, exoneration 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.040 for the president, but no exoneration for the deep state 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.000 coup against him. We will dig into that and much 0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:30.880 more coming up on the Buck Sexton Show. This this 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.159 is the Buck Sexton Show or the mission or mission 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:40.239 is to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make 0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:44.080 no mistake, Americans, You're a great American. Again the Buck 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:58.080 Sexton Show begins. The Special Counsel's reports states that his 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:02.800 quote investigate did not establish that members of the Trump 0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:07.920 campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its 0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:12.360 election interference activities. I am sure that all Americans share 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.080 my concern about the efforts of the Russian government to 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:21.200 interfere in our presidential election. As the Special Council report 0:01:21.319 --> 0:01:25.240 makes clear, the Russian government sought to interfere in our 0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:30.080 election process. But thanks to the Special Council's thorough investigation, 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:34.880 we now know that the Russian operatives who perpetrated these 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:39.200 schemes did not have the cooperation of President Trump or 0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:44.560 the Trump campaign. Welcome to the Buck section Show, everybody. 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:50.440 No collusion, no conspiracy. The report is out. I have 0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:55.080 been rummaging through it all day. It is a somewhat 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.440 exhausting and frustrating procedure to get through as much of 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:03.760 this as I have have. But we knew what the baseline, 0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:11.880 fundamental foundational conclusions were, and none of that changes. The 0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:18.679 President of the United States did not, nor did anyone 0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:23.120 this is very important, Nor did anyone associated with his 0:02:23.200 --> 0:02:29.440 campaign work with or offer to work with the Russians 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:37.639 to overturn or undermine the election results. None of them. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:43.600 It did not happen. This was a conspiracy theory without evidence. 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.080 This was an effort at a soft coup by deep 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:53.320 state actors loyal to the permanent branch of government known 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:58.600 as the federal bureaucracy and to Hillary as the Democrat 0:02:58.680 --> 0:03:04.840 candidate who repre presents the party that most affiliates with 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.440 and is supported by the deep state elements of the 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.600 federal government, the Democratic Party. And now we know that 0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.560 this was all a lie. We were put through two 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:21.959 years of hell as a country. Here this insane effort 0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:30.040 to create the president as traitor narrative will hopefully now 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.880 finally come to an end. Although I have to say 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.000 I don't even know if we can count on that. 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:40.240 I don't know if we can really say definitively that 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.480 the president of the United States will no longer have 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:48.440 to deal with those lies because the people who are 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:55.280 currently supposed to be the guardians of our republic, the 0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:57.520 people who are supposed to be telling us the truth 0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.920 about what's happened here, the truth about their own reporting, 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:08.320 don't think they did anything wrong. The press is patting 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:11.960 themselves on the back in this whole situation. The press 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:17.800 seems to believe that they've managed this whole thing beautifully. Oh, 0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:21.680 just give them some more Pulitzers. That's what they do anywhere. 0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:24.200 They just give themselves awards talking about how wonderful they are. 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.920 Now the president finally can look around and say, can 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:36.919 you stop with the crazy No collusion, no conspiracy. The 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:44.080 fundamental reason that the very underlying justification for this entire 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:51.440 investigation was wrong. The main media narrative for the last 0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.840 two years about how that they were any moment now. 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:57.200 They kept putting people on TV Brannan and Clapper and 0:04:57.279 --> 0:05:00.680 this whole slew of so called national security experts, imbeciles, 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.920 all of them on this saying that there was gonna 0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:09.640 be collusion. We were gonna find collusion wasn't true. This 0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:13.600 was a lot. There was no effort to conspire with 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:18.200 the Russians. The Russians cooked up a social media disinformation 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.960 campaign on their own. The Russians hacked some emails, They 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.760 did some stuff here and there. Obama knew about it 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.080 and didn't really talk about it, didn't make a big 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.760 deal of it because you know what, and you can't 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.159 lose sight of this. They all assume that Hillary was 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.559 gonna win anyway, because it wasn't that big a deal. 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.800 It didn't really matter, and they knew it. But then 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.960 when Hillary lost, they couldn't accept that reality, so they 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:48.800 invented a new reality. Oh my gosh. The Russian interference 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:55.200 the election was just so powerful. The Russians were spreading 0:05:55.200 --> 0:06:01.479 some disinformation on the web. Who cares. Now we're told 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.000 that this is meant to prevent the next round of 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:08.840 you know, the next round of Russian interferency, Like this 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:13.720 is nonsense. This was always about getting Trump. They're lying 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:15.800 to you today. This was always about getting Trump. This 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.960 wasn't about If it were Russian interference the election, you 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:22.520 could have just had a normal DOJ investigation. The reason 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.880 for the Special Council was that they wanted to get Trump. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:29.240 The reason that this is a very important point, it's 0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.520 central to what we have to still find out. The 0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:35.919 reason that they did not tell the Trump campaign that 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:41.920 George Papadopolis passed along a rumor to some guy at 0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.719 a bar in London. This was that's the beginning of 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:49.360 all this. This is crazy. But the reason they didn't 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:52.800 tell the Trump campaign that that had happened, that this 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.920 was going on and there were concerns about Russian penetration 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:59.000 of the campaign, was that the people making these decisions 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.240 in the federal government really believed, at least some of 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:06.400 them did, that Donald Trump was a Russian asset, that 0:07:06.520 --> 0:07:09.520 Donald Trump was working with the Russians. Why do they 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.000 believe that rumor mill just kind of heard it from 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:20.280 some other people. They should be so deeply ashamed of themselves. 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:26.800 They profaned, I mean, all these senior FBI guys and djos, 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.680 they profaned the offices and the authority that they have 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:35.720 as part of this hyper partisan scheme to take down 0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:37.960 the president the United States. This is the biggest political 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:42.400 scandal of my life. The media got it entirely wrong. 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:46.400 They approached it all from the wrong angle. It was 0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:51.000 the spying and the collusion between senior government officials, the media, 0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:54.360 and the Democrat Party that should have been the focus 0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:58.559 of this, not this make believe theory that the Trump 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:01.360 administration worked with the Russian on this, which I've been 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.239 telling this from the start. I'll never forget him. President 0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.600 Trump look me in the eyes and said it himself. 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:09.120 It's a stupid plan. It doesn't even make any sense. 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.040 If the Russians were gonna do this, why would what 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:16.640 would the Trump campaign bring to the party. Nothing, There's 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:19.760 no reason. If the Russians wanted us so disinformation about Hillary, 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.960 they can do exactly what they did, which is get 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:24.160 access to information that makes Hillary look bad. But the 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:27.960 information doesn't even make her look that bad. All this 0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:30.920 is we're supposed to lose all sense of proportionality, all 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:36.679 sense of judgment, an intellectual fairness, because you have to 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.199 suspend all of that in order to come up with 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:43.400 the most damaging narrative possible for Trump and that Hillary 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.400 was robbed and they stole the election for Hillary. But 0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:49.960 ultimately they can't get around this. No conspiracy, it did 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:54.320 not exist. It was not there. Muller, who was sending 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.280 dozens of guys look like a police platoon, like they 0:08:58.320 --> 0:09:02.360 were going in after see your Alqaida leadership. When they 0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:06.640 arrested Roger Stone. They locked Manaphoor up in solitary confinement 0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:09.480 for months on end after a no knock raid on 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.960 his home early in the morning. They sent George Papadopolis 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:15.480 to prison for a couple of weeks for lying about 0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:20.400 a total non issue. They didn't give anyone a pass, 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.720 knowing the benefit of the doubt. Muller and his people 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.640 and wifsmen on the rest of the squad of angry 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:29.920 Democrats were dead set on taking Trump down on this 0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.080 conspiracy issue with the Russians. And they couldn't do it 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:37.800 because it wasn't there. And remember it's not that they 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:41.920 couldn't prove it, my friends, they couldn't even mount a 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:46.439 serious case to bring to court. They couldn't even come 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:50.720 up with charges, and not just charges against Trump, charges 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.480 relating to collusion or conspiracy. Now I have to use 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:59.440 these terms interchangeably. There were no conspiracy charges involving the 0:09:59.480 --> 0:10:04.400 Russians in the election with anyone in Trump's world. This 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.360 is a very high bar that had to be cleared. 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:10.760 There was always the possibility. In fact, Rudy Giuliani, the 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.120 president's lawyer, told me this that there were concerns, Well, 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.400 what if some guy did pull a kind of Papadopolis 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.200 like situation where he was freelancing and thought he'd be 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.719 some kind of a hero and reached out to the 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:23.600 Russians and said, how can I help you hack in 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.800 and maybe gave them some proprietary information or something like that, 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:33.320 and that could have happened. But it didn't happen. It's 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.079 not that we still asked the question maybe kind of 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.440 sort of yes, no, maybe so about conspiracy with the Russians. 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:46.360 It is definitively not the case that Trump or the 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:52.880 campaign worked with the Russians. It did not happen. Attorney 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.679 General Barr has said, after two years, this is where 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.560 we are at. Plicklipped to the Special Council did not 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:03.960 find any conspiracy to violate US law involving Russian linked 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:08.559 persons and any persons associated with the Trump campaign. So 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.240 that's the bottom line. After nearly two years of investigation, 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:16.920 thousands of subpoenas, hundreds of warrants, and witness interviews, the 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:21.560 Special Council confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:26.760 illegally interfere with the two sixteen presidential election, but did 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.960 not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:39.520 in those efforts. Did not find. After all, this Muller 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.760 wasn't just shaking the tree, he was cutting it down 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:43.599 with a chainsaw, trying to get answer this. Here he 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:49.360 went after everybody, ruined reputations through people in prison, set 0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:54.880 loose this team of over zealous prosecutors on anyone in 0:11:54.880 --> 0:12:00.720 Trump's world. No collusion, no conspiracy. There was no Trump 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:06.000 cheating in the last election. It did not happen. And 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.960 don't don't let them change the subject. This was the 0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:15.319 central allegation. This was the central accusation leveled against the president, 0:12:15.320 --> 0:12:19.199 meant to undermine his entire presidency. They have been dragged 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.280 through hell and back, based on lies concocted by left 0:12:24.320 --> 0:12:29.320 wing pro Hillary partisan Democrats, by a media apparatus that 0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:34.640 is corrupt beyond belief, that has no ethics in its 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:39.600 journalistic approach, and that view themselves as activists, not as 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.880 purveyors of objective truth. I don't care what they say. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.560 They know that they're they're trying to win for the 0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:53.480 hashtag resistance against Trump. They know it. But now you 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.400 have the other questions that remain. As I was reading through, 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.319 there's really a report in two parts. There's the whole 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.520 Russia collusion part of it, which I'll have some more 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:05.120 thoughts on, but I just want to start with that's 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.480 the single most important thing, the single thing that we 0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.000 cannot lose sight of, because that is what they told 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:14.400 us was central to this entire case. But now you 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:17.719 have obstruction. Oh yes, Now now we turn into this 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:23.920 more gray area, amorphous, and this is where the Democrats 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:25.760 are going to try to launch their case for impeachment 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.319 against the President United States. It's exactly what I said 0:13:28.440 --> 0:13:31.760 was going to happen yesterday. I've predicted this not surprising. 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.280 I think a lot of folks who are paying attention 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:37.280 to predicted this pretty accurately. But on the question of obstruction, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:41.760 I have very important, very specific thoughts on this. I 0:13:41.800 --> 0:13:47.480 will come back to them right after this break. After 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:52.480 finding no underlying collusion with Russia, the Special Council's report 0:13:52.600 --> 0:13:56.000 goes on to consider whether certain actions of the President 0:13:56.040 --> 0:14:00.600 could amount to obstruction of the Special Council's investigation. After 0:14:00.679 --> 0:14:04.640 carefully reviewing the facts and legal theories outlined in the report, 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:08.480 and in consultation with the Office of Legal Counsel and 0:14:08.640 --> 0:14:13.320 other Department lawyers, the Deputy Attorney Gentleman I concluded that 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:17.400 the evidence developed by the Special Counsel is not sufficient 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:21.680 to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense. 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:30.120 No obstruction of justice. Now, the media that got this 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:35.640 wrong and the Democrats are saying, well, there's not exoneration either, 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:38.840 but that's not the standard that our criminal justice system 0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:43.680 works under. This was a criminal investigation, although there was 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.800 no underlying crime for the investigation, which I would argue 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.440 and I think many others do as well, really largely 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:56.800 invalidates this entire process. That this was all meant to 0:14:56.840 --> 0:14:59.280 be a get Trump operation from the start, which we 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.280 knew it was. We have been you and I have 0:15:02.360 --> 0:15:06.320 been correct on this from the very beginning. But then 0:15:06.320 --> 0:15:08.360 they figured, well, if we can't get him on the collusion, 0:15:08.360 --> 0:15:10.680 we'll get him on the obstruction. They didn't get him 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:14.280 on that either. Now they're going to say, however, that 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.320 there was ample evidence. It's just that there could not 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:21.840 have been a prosecution of the president under obstruction because 0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:26.280 of the way that Muller wrote up this report. And 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:30.200 let me say this, for Muller to take the position 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:33.480 that he will not take a position is dirty politics. 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:36.560 That's all it is. This is dirty pool and everyone 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.560 knows it. Muller and his whole team spent two years 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.600 to basically give us nothing, nothing that we really care 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.920 about with regard to Russian interferencing election. We already knew 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:49.000 about Russian interference election. Nothing with regard to the president 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.560 or any of his top people involved with Russians in 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:56.040 a way that makes us sit up and show legitimate 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:59.080 concern about something that happened, because it didn't happen. And 0:15:59.160 --> 0:16:06.440 now on obstruct here's the very simple overview of what's 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:10.080 really going on with obstruction. The President of the United 0:16:10.120 --> 0:16:14.080 States was the top or was the subject and the 0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:17.920 target of a witch hunt, and he did not like that. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:23.440 And when you are an innocent person and law enforcement officials, 0:16:23.880 --> 0:16:28.120 for obvious reasons of politics, come after you and everyone 0:16:28.160 --> 0:16:33.280 around you, trying to ruin you, trying to destroy you, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:36.440 you tend to get upset. And when you are the 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:39.640 leader of the free world, when you are the president 0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:42.040 the United States, the commander in chief, the head of 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.520 the executive branch, and you have a country to run, 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:49.760 and you know you haven't done anything wrong. You did 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:52.200 not collude with the Russians, Your people did not collude 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:56.320 with the Russians. This was all a fairy tale, although 0:16:56.320 --> 0:17:00.400 a very damaging, very destructive one. Yes, you get mad, 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:02.480 you say things like how do I make this end? 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:07.000 Where do we go to make this thing stop? But 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:10.160 the analysis I'm hearing today from people about how, oh, well, 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.399 innocent people would never say this, or an innocent person whatever, 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:22.240 that is complete crap. Trump had to sit through after 0:17:22.320 --> 0:17:25.239 winning an election that is so improbable in terms of 0:17:25.280 --> 0:17:27.040 what the predictions were and what we were told the 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:29.600 numbers were that it's almost hard to believe even at 0:17:29.680 --> 0:17:32.720 this point that he's the president United States. But Trump 0:17:32.760 --> 0:17:37.840 has had to spend two years with this just massive 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.080 lie being used as the as the primary tool of 0:17:42.200 --> 0:17:47.480 opposition against his administration, and he's supposed to sit there silently. 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:52.640 The Mulla report goes through his public statements, his public pronouncements. 0:17:53.600 --> 0:17:55.840 You know here, you know all these different aspects of 0:17:56.680 --> 0:17:59.400 what the President has said about the investigation. It goes 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:03.520 through in detail the firing of James Kobe. It talks 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:07.320 about General Flynn and now security advisor. What happened all 0:18:07.320 --> 0:18:10.639 around this, And I mean, ultimately, what you have is 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:15.000 the president lashing out because he was quartered by this 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.000 deep state coup and had to fight his way out 0:18:17.000 --> 0:18:20.120 of it. So I'm sorry, but I don't really care 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:24.960 what Mueller thinks about how the President was taking the 0:18:25.160 --> 0:18:30.000 ambush that Mueller's buddy set up for the president. We'll 0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:31.959 be back in just a moment. More on then, we've 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:37.119 got to dive deep into obstruction. Stay with me. He 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.199 special counsel indicates that he wanted you to make the 0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.159 decision or that it should be left for Congress. Special 0:18:44.200 --> 0:18:46.960 Counsel Mueller did not indicate that his purpose was to 0:18:47.080 --> 0:18:49.840 leave the decision to Congress. I hope that was not 0:18:49.920 --> 0:18:53.119 his view, since we don't convene grand juries and conduct 0:18:53.160 --> 0:18:58.800 criminal investigations for that purpose. He did not. I didn't 0:18:58.800 --> 0:19:01.640 talk to him directly about the fact that we were 0:19:01.720 --> 0:19:04.200 making the decision, but I am told that his reaction 0:19:04.280 --> 0:19:08.720 to that was that it was my prerogative as attorney 0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:14.159 general to make that decision. It is the prerogative of 0:19:14.200 --> 0:19:19.200 the attorney general make the decision, and Bill Barr made 0:19:19.240 --> 0:19:22.040 the right decision here. But that the press is trying 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.320 to call him, of course, a tool of Trump, a hack. 0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.720 Let me let me be very clear about this. There 0:19:27.880 --> 0:19:31.399 is nobody in the role of attorney general. It is 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:34.439 not possible to find a human being to be the 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:38.199 Attorney general at this time that the media and the 0:19:38.240 --> 0:19:43.520 Democrats would accept. If the Attorney General did not hand 0:19:43.560 --> 0:19:45.639 down an indictment of the press the United States, no 0:19:45.680 --> 0:19:49.760 one would be acceptable. Because Barr is gold standard level 0:19:50.240 --> 0:19:54.000 ag material, has already been the attorney general. He's well 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:58.240 respected in legal circles. No serious person thinks that Barr 0:19:58.280 --> 0:20:02.480 is unserious. But you're already seeing all these Democrats and 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:05.200 different pundits going on TV. Oh Bars, you know, he's 0:20:05.280 --> 0:20:09.800 Trump's you could say, wingman. Remember I think I think 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:12.159 a previous Attorney general referred to himself as as a 0:20:12.200 --> 0:20:16.160 different president's wingman. Remember when that happened. But they're trying 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.199 to undermine Bar even though the press conference that they 0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:20.879 were complaining about, the press conference that it was before 0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:24.360 the report came out. Meanwhile, the press conference was meant 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:26.800 so that people could understand what's in the report and 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.560 what they're being presented with and to give it some context. 0:20:31.119 --> 0:20:33.480 Those who were saying that there's spin. I kept hearing, 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.480 Oh there's spin, There's there's not spin. He's saying, this 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:39.359 is what we're giving you. These are the findings. It 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:44.520 was as as neutral and straightforward as a lawyer I 0:20:44.560 --> 0:20:47.879 think could possibly be on this. And that's what you know. 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.119 Bar was in the in the role here of top 0:20:50.200 --> 0:20:55.679 lawyer for the country. And this idea that the Congress 0:20:55.760 --> 0:20:57.160 is the one who should make the decision, and that's 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:00.160 what we came into with that sound bite. That's just insane. 0:21:01.440 --> 0:21:03.960 No one takes that position that that does not make 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.919 any sense. Why would the Congress be left with that 0:21:07.040 --> 0:21:10.720 role when that's not the role of congress. Congress doesn't 0:21:10.720 --> 0:21:15.000 doesn't have a prosecutorial does a prosecutorial function to play here? 0:21:16.320 --> 0:21:17.720 And what are they really going to do. They're going 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:21.800 to say that there wasn't even enough to bring obstruction 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.200 charges and a note that also by the Special counsel's 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.200 own admission, there are questions as to whether you really 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.679 could even claim, but they're under any context, you can 0:21:30.760 --> 0:21:33.080 claim that some of the acts that Trump took were 0:21:33.080 --> 0:21:40.240 obstruction because of his constitutional authority. The president can fire 0:21:40.320 --> 0:21:43.000 the FBI director, he can do that. He has the 0:21:43.080 --> 0:21:45.040 right to do that for any reason or no reason. 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:47.880 So how are you going to claim that that's obstruction 0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.560 when he's allowed to There are other areas as well 0:21:51.600 --> 0:21:55.360 where I think the Muller team was stretching to the limited, 0:21:55.640 --> 0:22:00.600 to the limits of credulity in order to just leave 0:22:00.720 --> 0:22:07.800 open enough space for the Democrat media avalanche to just 0:22:07.920 --> 0:22:10.600 flow in and fill in the blanks with whatever they 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:14.520 want to say about all of this. The decision was 0:22:14.560 --> 0:22:17.320 not to be left to Congress. It's not Congress's decision 0:22:17.359 --> 0:22:19.640 to make. It was really Mueller's decision. And he wouldn't 0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:23.199 make it, and he wouldn't make it because it wasn't there. 0:22:23.240 --> 0:22:24.640 He didn't have it, but he didn't want to say 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:27.280 that on obstruction. So what did he do created this 0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:30.160 whole Well, I don't know. Let's leave it for Attorney 0:22:30.160 --> 0:22:34.600 General bar and Rod Rosenstein, who I mean. Today, I 0:22:34.960 --> 0:22:36.640 was at the Hill. I was talking to a bunch 0:22:36.640 --> 0:22:38.840 of Democrats, but all this different stuff, and I was 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.720 hearing how well, you know Rosenstein. One of the Democrats 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.960 that came on said Rosenstein should have refused himself, and 0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:52.000 I just practically, you know, choked on my tongue. Rosenstein. 0:22:52.119 --> 0:22:55.240 So now now Rosenstein is insufficient for the left. There 0:22:55.400 --> 0:22:59.280 was a time when the president removing or impeding Rosenstein 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:03.639 was the DJ equivalent of like Pearl Harbor. It was 0:23:03.680 --> 0:23:05.720 the worst thing that any human being could possibly do. 0:23:06.240 --> 0:23:08.639 Now we're told that Rosenstein. Yeah, Rosen probably should have 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:12.119 accused himself. Actually, but Democrats were opposed to that the 0:23:12.160 --> 0:23:17.560 whole time and would have reacted with an insane level 0:23:17.760 --> 0:23:23.040 of you know, outrage if you would remove Rosenstein. I mean, 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:27.200 that would have been a complete from their perspective, complete catastrophe, 0:23:27.240 --> 0:23:33.000 totally unacceptable, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria. And 0:23:33.040 --> 0:23:35.280 now they're saying, oh, maybe rosin should recuse them because 0:23:35.280 --> 0:23:36.800 they didn't get the outcome they want. When they don't, 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:39.320 when Democrats don't get the outcome they want in this process, 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:40.760 what do they do? They say the people were the 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:47.200 wrong people, they're Trumpers, they can't be trusted. They attack 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:52.000 the integrity of people like Bill Barr, attack it just 0:23:52.040 --> 0:23:53.840 because they didn't get what they didn't get what they 0:23:53.840 --> 0:23:59.800 wanted here. But Barr has also been a thorn in 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:03.240 the side of the media recently because he is very 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:09.600 good on his feet. There was a fantastic moment when 0:24:09.800 --> 0:24:13.679 Barr slapped down some reporters for a brief q and 0:24:13.760 --> 0:24:15.800 a after the press conference. That set the tone for 0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:19.119 everything today. But here's what happened when they asked Barr 0:24:19.320 --> 0:24:23.080 about whether he was protecting Trump. This is what they're saying. 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:27.679 Play seven. I'm the general side of Democrats who have 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.560 questions in some of the process. Here, a Republican appointed 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.840 judge on Tuesday said, you have created an environment that 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.520 has caused a significant part of the American public to 0:24:36.680 --> 0:24:40.280 be concerned about these redactions to clear the president on obstruction. 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:43.080 The president is fund raising off of your comments about spine, 0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:45.560 and here you have remarks that are quite generous to 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:49.119 the president, including acknowledging his feelings and his emotions. So 0:24:49.280 --> 0:24:50.960 what do you say to people on full sides of 0:24:51.040 --> 0:24:53.080 the aisle, we're concerned that you are trying to protect 0:24:53.080 --> 0:24:59.560 the president. Actually, the statements about his sincere beliefs our 0:24:59.600 --> 0:25:02.840 record nice in the report that there was substantial evidence 0:25:02.880 --> 0:25:04.840 for that. So I'm not sure what your basis is 0:25:04.880 --> 0:25:07.480 for saying that I am being generous to the president. 0:25:13.680 --> 0:25:16.840 Is there is there another precedent for it? No? Okay, 0:25:16.880 --> 0:25:21.680 so unprecedented as an accurate description, isn't it. I love 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:24.639 that you went out of your way to, you know, 0:25:24.720 --> 0:25:28.119 be so nice to Trump by saying it was unprecedented. 0:25:28.160 --> 0:25:34.520 But he goes, is there a precedent? No, there's no precedent, 0:25:35.359 --> 0:25:39.240 so it's unprecedented. It's like, but this is what you're 0:25:39.280 --> 0:25:40.920 dealing with the media. They're like a bunch of little 0:25:40.960 --> 0:25:44.760 idiot children running around. They don't know anything. They don't 0:25:44.800 --> 0:25:46.840 even think through it. They're saying that I don't even 0:25:46.840 --> 0:25:48.760 know who that reporter was. I can't tell by her 0:25:48.840 --> 0:25:52.600 voice whoever it is. She just knows, attack bar, attack bar. 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:54.600 That's her job. Her job is to attack bars, not 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.600 to get to the truth. It's not to find useful information. 0:25:58.119 --> 0:26:01.160 It's do a little bit of grandstanding for your left 0:26:01.160 --> 0:26:03.960 wing producers back in the studio and for your left 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:07.480 wing audience and whatever networks or whatever publications she represents, 0:26:08.400 --> 0:26:11.960 and attack Bar's credibility by saying he's protecting Trump by 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:15.520 saying that this is an unprecedented situation, which is a 0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:20.920 completely objective and factual description of the situation. But see 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:26.440 if objective and factual in any context benefits Trump, then 0:26:26.440 --> 0:26:30.880 objective and factual information itself cannot be trusted. You see, 0:26:32.240 --> 0:26:36.320 this is the degree of craziness that the Democrats are 0:26:36.800 --> 0:26:39.479
