WEBVTT - Government Stooges 0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:17.079 You are entering the freedom Hudge. Trump pulled Brennan's clearance, 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.880 and now the media is completely freaked out. This is 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.480 a tempest in a teapop, but it represents a lot 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.840 of the Trump arrangement syndrome we've seen across the country. 0:00:25.920 --> 0:00:30.200 We'll talk about that, plus the three hundred newspapers across 0:00:30.240 --> 0:00:32.760 the country that are all reminding us that, yes, in fact, 0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:36.000 the main three media is run by libs and it's 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:37.879 all about Libs. We'll get into that and so much 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:41.440 more coming up on The buck Sexton Show. This is 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.720 the buck Sexton Show, where the mission or mission is 0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:50.600 to decode what really matters with actionable intelligence. Make no 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.760 mistake America, You're a great American Again. The buck Sexton 0:00:54.800 --> 0:01:05.440 Show begins now. Is this an effort to try to 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:12.120 cow individuals, both inside and outside of the government to 0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.840 make sure that they don't say anything either is critical 0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:19.160 of Mr Trump or with which he disagrees. And I've 0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:24.280 seen this type of behavior and actions on the part 0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.600 of foreign tyrants and despots and autocrats for many, many 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:33.080 years during my CIA and nascurity career. I never ever 0:01:33.240 --> 0:01:35.840 thought that I would see it here in the States. 0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:39.679 I haven't had any access to classified information since I 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:44.640 left the government. The larger implication here is the jeopardy 0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:48.240 to our first our first Amendment rights and by extension, others. 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.960 And by the way, uh, there's a very chilling message 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.960 here to people in the intelligence community. If you te 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:59.680 up intelligence that the president doesn't like, you may risk 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:03.640 losing your clearance and and there by your job. This 0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:11.600 head and eerie memory of an enemy's list. These people 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:16.080 were being singled out um to have either the occurrences 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.079 revoked or in the process of being revoked. To me, 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:24.400 smacks of Nixonian type practices of trying to silence anyone 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.840 who's willing to criticize this president that puts us again 0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:34.320 in uncharted territory. Oh my, they are so upset about this. 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.320 Welcome to the buck Sex and Show everybody. Here we 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:41.679 are day two of the of the clearance freak out, 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:46.280 and there's so much here that's wrong. I mean, first 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:50.000 of all, you you have to understand, as I've discussed 0:02:50.080 --> 0:02:52.760 with you here on the show, that a security clearance 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.760 is not a right. A security clearance is a privilege 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:57.360 that you are given by the government to work for 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.920 the government in government service. Um, I wouldn't even get 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.799 into but I've had one or two people. Now, let's 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:04.760 just say one person in particular was saying, you know, well, 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:06.600 did you have a clearance when you left the government? 0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:12.240 Some media person, No, imbecile. I lost my clearance when inactive, 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:15.160 which means no longer up and running, and therefore lost 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.320 my access to classify when I resigned from the CIA, 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:21.440 as it should be for everyone. They can always resurrect 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:25.200 your clearance. This is not this is not rocket science. 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:27.959 If you have to do rocket science and need a clearance, 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.800 they can bring it back. Right. This is uh, this 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:34.320 is all just more Trump't arrangement syndrome getting played out 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.640 through another prison, this time through through the security clearance process. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:42.680 The next president can restore Brennan's clearance. It hasn't been 0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.840 adjudicated that he is unfit for a clearance. They're just 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:49.320 pulling his clearance. It does give you a little bit 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.840 of a window, though, into the mentality of Democrats in 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.240 general when it comes to government service, which is one 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:57.600 this notion of you know what can then can you 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:00.280 not be fired? I would want to ask democrats this, 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:04.760 what about somebody who works for the CIA? Now can 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.280 they do TV interviews and talk about how well, then 0:04:07.320 --> 0:04:09.440 I'm at the CIA and I'm seeing everything every day 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:11.960 and this president's a trader, And do you get to 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.440 keep your job if you do that? You know, no, 0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.719 no disciplinary action. Do you do you get to stay 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.880 in the government and undermine the executive branch from within 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.359 the executive branches? Is that the new standard that we 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:26.640 have the folks who are listening to your military, No, 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.080 you don't get to wear your uniform and go on 0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.800 TV and say, yes, I'm I'm activity military. But you know, 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:34.760 this general should be called General Bozo because he's a 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.120 clown and an idiot. I mean, I've never been in 0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:39.800 the military, but those you're listening, A lot of you 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.600 listening I know who have been or are now in 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.480 the military, would say, uh yeah, buck you you would 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.159 get in some trouble for that. You would not be 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.119 It would be an issue if you went on TV 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.760 in your military uniform, said your name and rank and 0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:56.240 then trash your commanding officer or trash your division or whatever. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.760 You look at the free speech, free speech. These people 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.000 like Brennan and Clapper are working the government their whole lives. 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:06.040 They apparently don't know what the First Amendment means. They 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:10.520 have neither read nor understood the First Amendment. No one 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.520 is silencing them. I mean, this is laughable. Brennan is 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:18.560 being silenced, what as he's on national TV and being 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:20.920 turned into some kind of an anti Trump martyr. He's 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.119 he's being silenced because he hasn't gotten his seven figure 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:28.719 book deal yet, because he hasn't set up a go 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.800 fund Me account to give him hundreds of thousands of 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:34.080 dollars of just free cash, because apparently the hashtag resistance 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:39.240 got a lot of money to throw around. This is crazy, 0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.320 and people are saying, fuck you know, you should know better. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.520 You work in the agency. This should be non political. 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:48.840 Oh hold up, hold up the people that have made 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:52.000 the intelligence community so political that I don't know if 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:55.320 it will ever recover from what has been done to it. 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.760 I don't know if it will ever regain the sense 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:05.799 of political neutrality and objective, fact based information and analysis 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:08.320 that was not about partisanship. I don't know if it'll 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:11.840 ever regain that. But it was lost not because Trump 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:19.120 pulled some some you know, government stooges clearance, but because 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:24.320 a bunch of former government stooges in government, used their 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.960 position to try to throw an election, and then right 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.000 after they left government service, or in some cases continue 0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:34.479 to just stay in government service, like comey, uh, you 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.919 tried to leverage their previous position to undermine the current 0:06:38.920 --> 0:06:43.480 commander in chief. But this isn't silencing, he's just pulling 0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:45.800 their clearances. Doesn't think that they should have access to 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:48.039 classified information. I would ask you this. You heard Clapper 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:52.760 there say or I have an anxious classified shouldn't I 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:59.240 came out? Okay, So what's the big deal? It would 0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:03.560 be very it would be very unethical and in fact illegal, 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:07.000 depending on what happened to access classified and then use 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.840 that for political attacks on TV. That would be reckless, right, 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.800 So no one people have gosh, I've had so many 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.080 idiot trolls. Well, you used to have a clearance, used 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.640 to be in the CIA. Yeah, years and years and 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:25.600 years ago. And I've never said, oh, i'm because of 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.400 what I know in the CIA, the current commander in 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:30.600 chief is a traitor. And oh, by the way, I 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:33.720 want to keep my security clearance because I say so 0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:39.880 this this notion that that he's being silenced, How is 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.440 he being silenced because he doesn't have a clearance. He 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:44.920 doesn't need a clearance and he shouldn't have it anyway. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:48.040 So the president has taken this action, you know, if 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.520 nothing else, it's a reminder to Brennan that, yeah, he is, 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.000 in fact the commander chief. He is the President United States. 0:07:53.040 --> 0:07:56.360 Trump is the guy. And just because Brennan doesn't like him, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.360 let's go on TV and say this, This president is 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:03.680 a traitor. He's traitorous to the American people. Uh, doesn't 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.200 mean that it changes what's really going on, doesn't change 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:10.880 the reality of who's running the show. Um, you know, 0:08:11.080 --> 0:08:14.080 this is just nonsense. You know. Jim Jordan, I gotta 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.240 say I like Jim Jordans on this on on a 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.200 whole bunch of things lately. How many how many newspapers 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.040 and how many news outlets did you see that, uh, 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.040 that that ran that there was a retraction one of 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.920 those players who said that, remember Jim Jordan was never 0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:30.000 accused of wrongdoing himself, but that he didn't take action 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:33.920 for wrongdoing, that there was a retraction. How many do you, Mike, 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:37.120 did you see that that there were some one of 0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:38.800 one of the one of the people are there was 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.160 some kind of walk back of the story with Jim 0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:42.960 Jordan that he actually didn't you know that it wasn't 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.240 he didn't know or it wasn't clear did not get 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:49.520 covered unless I'm unless I have my facts wrong, if 0:08:49.520 --> 0:08:51.120 I do all correct it. But I'm pretty sure that's 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:54.120 what happened. But Jim Jordan's been very good lately, and 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.200 and on Brennan, I think he sees this pretty clearly. 0:08:56.200 --> 0:09:01.920 Play Cliff nine, John Brennan lee the information to Harry Reid, 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:05.200 lost his clearance. James Clapper lied under oath in the 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.320 Intel Committee in the Senate. James Comey has been fired 0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.439 for leaking information on all kinds of other things. Andy 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.000 McCabe lied three times under oath, has been fired. Sally 0:09:14.080 --> 0:09:18.120 Yates fired, Peter Struck demoted, then fired, Lisa Page demoted, 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.960 then left the FBI. Jim Baker, Chief Council with the FBI, 0:09:21.280 --> 0:09:24.760 demoted and then left. I think all those people, frankly 0:09:24.800 --> 0:09:27.679 should lose their clearance, particularly when you have that kind 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.080 of that kind of history where you've been fired, demoted, 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.880 leaking information. Why should you have a clearance. So I 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:34.480 agree with the President what he did. I think there's 0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:40.079 a lot more people who, frankly deserve the same treatment now. 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:43.680 But the overwhelming media consensus is, of course they they 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.200 are just in a frenzy over this thing. Oh my god, 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:52.480 the silencing. The silencing mean we the same people that 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.840 all back Brennan and the other intel people that have 0:09:55.880 --> 0:09:58.440 been named is possibly losing their clearances from Trump. Those 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.640 same people are the ones who are are also claiming 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.080 that the First Amendment is under great assault. On the 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:05.760 same day that you've got and we'll get to this, 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:13.160 three newspapers all reading from the same sheet of music. Yeah, 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.880 but they're being silenced. There are political monoculture dedicated to 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.840 destroying this presidency and opposing everything he does. But but sure, 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:25.360 they're they're in danger of silencing. I don't know how 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.400 they can take themselves seriously when they say such stupid things, 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:32.400 but but they do. Somehow, they do seem to be 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:39.160 of the belief that, you know, they should be treated 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.599 with the utmost respect while they expand upon these preposterous 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:48.160 ideas that they have. They're being silenced. You know that 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.599 they don't know what it is to be sounds you know, 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.960 you know what silence is people when there's a concerted 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:58.480 effort to inflate the perception of or to make it 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.920 seem like there's an inflated number of uh, those who 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.000 want to boycott a product or a service, or a 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.400 person or a company for political reasons and bring these 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:11.480 concerted digital pressure campaigns to pull all sponsors from somebody 0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.280 at once and a d platform them and get them 0:11:13.360 --> 0:11:18.920 kicked off of platforms. That's silencing. Pulling somebody security clearance 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:25.240 in no reasonable perspective could be considered a silencing, right, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:26.679 But this is what this is what they're saying. This 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.120 is the storyline. And I think that Trump realizes that 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:33.520 this is a This is a very it's a good 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.840 thing to have this former CIA chief be a spokesperson 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.000 for the anti Trump resistance because he's a loon and 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.760 he's a hack, and he has been for a very 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.040 long time. This was Obama's counter terrorism advisor. This was 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:48.840 the guy that Obama trusted the most on counter terrorism 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:52.200 in the White House. I know I wanted to be 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:54.320 in charge, now do I want running the show? By 0:11:54.360 --> 0:11:57.360 the way, also, when he was CI director, SEWI was 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:03.400 a debacle, an absolute debacle. But you know, no no 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.240 one ever gets no one ever holds into account on 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:10.480 it for that or anything. This is another another time 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:14.760 when the outrage meter, you'd think maybe they'd run out 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:18.480 of of juice for the outrage meter, right, they run 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:23.920 out of of of stuff to put in it. And Nope, Nope, 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:26.600 there's always more. They've always got another level. They can 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.120 always take the dial to eleven on the outrage. And 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.160 this time it's with Trump's clearances. There's like, oh, there 0:12:31.240 --> 0:12:35.360 might be more, more people might lose their clearances. And 0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:36.920 then he wrote this piece which I want to talk 0:12:36.960 --> 0:12:39.679 to you you about in a moment that you know, the 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.200 same guy whos complaining about his clearance and being silenced 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.280 is getting a featured editorial in the New York Times 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:47.719 the same day. Oh wow, look at that. He's being 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:50.360 silenced though he's in the biggest newspaper in the country. 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.599 He's on TV every five minutes practically right now, but 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:59.120 he's being silence. Don't know. His editorial, though, is a 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:03.160 is a big, steamy pile of garbage. It is a 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:09.079 dumpster fire of innuendo and craplousey analysis. And we will 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.160 pour some gasoline on this dumpster fire and make it 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.080 burn even hotter, I guess, because I'm going to tear 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.559 this apart in a moment and the the the Brennan 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:22.520 editorial in New York Times very very poor. Um eight 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:27.280 four four nine two eight two five eight four buck 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.520 if you want to chat, please do give me a ring. 0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.640 And uh, also, folks that if you're on Twitter. I 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.360 talked about Twitter sometimes here you can always tweet at 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.080 me at buck Sex and just be like, Hey, I 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:39.720 listen to your show and I'm on Twitter. That's fun. 0:13:39.880 --> 0:13:43.640 Or you can say something pithy or witty, or you know, 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.040 tell me to get a haircut, whatever you want, We'll 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:59.280 be right back. Something that I think you should all 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:01.959 member or I should tell you if you didn't know 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.480 this before, is uh this courtesy is Steve Hayes over 0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:09.000 the Weekly Standard that when Brennan was CIA director, his 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:16.040 agency presented unnecessary non disclosure agreements to Benghazi survivors and 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:23.760 get this at the memorial service for their fallen comrades. Yeah, 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.360 that's how Brennan used to do things. It's the kind 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:30.320 of shop Brennan used to run. Now he's Mr Hero though, 0:14:30.360 --> 0:14:32.880 now he's oh because he's saying terrible things about Trump. 0:14:32.920 --> 0:14:35.440 If you if you will say horrible things about Trump, 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:39.040 the left will excuse anything about your past, and we'll 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:42.800 also promise you great things in your future. That's probably 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.920 why Brennan has this piece that is a piece of 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.000 garbage in the New York Times today the same day 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.080 he's claiming that he needs to be silenced, or he 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:55.280 is being silenced. Rather, President Trump's claims of no collusion 0:14:55.560 --> 0:15:01.840 are hugwash, hugwash. He says, that's why the President revoked 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.360 my security clearance to try to silence anyone who would 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.600 shared challenge him. Um, how would that work exactly? Let's 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:14.360 let's take Brennan the the hysterical pearl, collecting Brennan at 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:19.320 his word here, how exactly would pulling the clearance? Uh 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.960 terrify him? Brennan is going on national TV and calling 0:15:22.960 --> 0:15:26.920 the President of the United States a traitor, a traitor 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:33.360 and has suffered no consequences of any kind. Now he 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:36.600 has a First Amendment right to say that. But the 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.720 notion that he has being silenced, I mean, this guy 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:43.240 has has completely jumped the shark already many times. He 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:47.120 keeps jumping that shark over and over again. And now 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:50.520 he the clearance gets pulled. Now he's gonna stop. He's 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.000 saying that the President United States is betraying the country, 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:56.280 is a pawn of the Kremlin. But now that he's 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:58.240 pulled my clearance, I don't think I can say the 0:15:58.280 --> 0:16:02.440 mean things anymore because I'm scared. That doesn't make very 0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:05.480 much sense, does it. That doesn't make very much sense 0:16:05.480 --> 0:16:13.600 at all. Um. I think it's uh. I think it's 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:17.440 important for everybody to understand that Brennan is a is 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:22.760 a hack and is dishonest, and the media is lionizing 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:25.240 him right now, and that's troubling enough on its own. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.000 His piece, though, where he says that the Trump's claims 0:16:30.040 --> 0:16:33.600 of no collusion are hogwash, I go, I went through 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.480 the whole piece. I read it multiple times in times, 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.200 and he this will pretty much summarize the whole thing 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:42.800 for you. Quote. The only questions that remain are whether 0:16:43.080 --> 0:16:47.800 the collusion that took place constituted criminally liable conspiracy, whether 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:51.560 obstruction of justice occurred to cover up any collusion or conspiracy, 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:54.960 and how many members of Trump Incorporated attempted to defraw 0:16:55.080 --> 0:16:57.200 the government by laundring and concealing the movement of money 0:16:57.240 --> 0:17:01.000 into their pockets. A jury is about who deliberate banking 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.560 tax fraud charges against one of those people Paul Manafort, 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:07.160 Mr Trump's former campaign chairman, and the campaign's former deputy chairman, 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:09.480 Rick Gates has pleaded guilty to financial fraud and line 0:17:09.480 --> 0:17:12.879 to investigators. Mr and Mr. Trump's claims of no collusion 0:17:12.920 --> 0:17:16.919 aren't a word hogwash. It's like we're dealing with crazy 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:21.399 people here, folks. He says, Oh, there's definitely collusion. The 0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.760 claim there's no collusion as hogwash. And then I see 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:29.280 it here and I say, Okay, where's the collusion. You 0:17:29.320 --> 0:17:33.119 know there's collusion. Where is it? You were the c 0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:37.240 I A director willing to play dirty Washington politics. We 0:17:37.280 --> 0:17:39.720 all know that, willing to leak, willing to talk to 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:41.800 the press, willing to do whatever he had to do 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:47.360 based on whatever code that former Commy lover Brennan has. 0:17:49.359 --> 0:17:53.560 And here is his moment to tell us, where is 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.920 the evidence? Where is the smoking gun? If Mueller hasn't 0:17:55.920 --> 0:17:59.880 found it yet, you must know you were the CIA director. Oh, 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.680 because they were willing to use a fights against freaking 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:07.639 Carter Page. They've done everything that they can. Where is 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:11.159 the collusion? Oh no, no, I can't tell you. I 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:13.960 just know it's there. I just I just know it's there. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:17.920 And anybody who says otherwise is lying. All right, I 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:19.960 don't want to be a liar. Brennan, tell me where 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.600 the collusion is. Why Why are these questions that remain 0:18:23.720 --> 0:18:29.480 whether it constituted criminal conspiracy? Because because you're saying that, 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.760 you know, you're not saying that there's a question. Right. 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.320 If you're saying that, you can't say something is not 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:38.840 if you cannot say for certain that it is. And 0:18:38.880 --> 0:18:42.120 he's saying that there's definitely collusion, but he can't tell 0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.239 us what that collusion is. This is just these are 0:18:44.240 --> 0:18:59.280 the rantings of a crazy person. He's holding the line 0:18:59.640 --> 0:19:04.760 for America, buck Sexton. His back editorials, in so many 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.720 ways are anachronisms anyway. I think very few people read 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.639 them other than for reinforcement of self. They're already known ideas, 0:19:12.240 --> 0:19:15.240 and it hurts the media and the bigger picture because 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:18.639 it just reinforces that the media is packed journalism and 0:19:18.680 --> 0:19:21.000 they all think alike and move in the same direction. 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.879 I think this is a meaningless exercise by the project. 0:19:25.000 --> 0:19:27.560 We have freedom of the press. It has not been 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.199 infringed in the least by Donald Trump. In fact, if 0:19:30.200 --> 0:19:31.919 the press really want to they should have gone more 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.600 after Barack Obama for all the use of the Justice 0:19:34.640 --> 0:19:37.679 Department to investigate the press way out of proportion anything 0:19:37.720 --> 0:19:40.840 Donald Trump has done. It's the group think. It's the 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.440 liberal think. It's how they all go the same way. 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.680 And if their editorials mattered that much anyway, Hillary Clinton 0:19:46.680 --> 0:19:49.280 would have been president. Almost every one of those papers 0:19:49.359 --> 0:19:52.440 endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. And that's my point about 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:56.560 editorial is really not being influential or moving readers anymore. 0:19:58.359 --> 0:20:03.439 What a joke this whole thing is. It's ridiculous, folks. 0:20:04.200 --> 0:20:06.600 You get three hundred papers are all like, we just 0:20:06.640 --> 0:20:09.720 want to stand up for the First Amendment together because 0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:12.160 we would in the air of Trump if he travels 0:20:12.400 --> 0:20:16.480 being mean? Nois are you kidding me? I at least 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.200 have some respect for the papers that I look, we 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.320 actually agree with what all these other papers were saying 0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.720 about Trump, but we're not going to join this because 0:20:22.720 --> 0:20:26.600 this is counter productive. It's idiotic. It is a slow 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:32.280 pitch right down the middle. And Trump has just both 0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:34.560 hands on a Louisville slugger and he is about to 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:36.960 grip it and rip it, folks, He's about to tear 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:42.159 the cover off the ball. Threspapers are all aware scared 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.960 the Trump in the First Commendment and the RGI Amendment. 0:20:45.359 --> 0:20:50.400 You gotta be kidding me. What has he done? I mean, 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.600 you know already made that was already Fleischer before was 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.879 there on the Bush administration. What has Trump done to 0:20:55.040 --> 0:20:59.080 hurt the First Amendment? Nothing? Nothing, words you don't like 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:02.840 is not the same as silencing liberals. Just because you 0:21:02.920 --> 0:21:06.119 get owned by this president time and again in the press, 0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:08.600 it doesn't mean that he is shutting down the press 0:21:09.920 --> 0:21:15.960 when opinions don't mean and he's obinion scary. Really, the 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:19.080 pearl clutching here's astonishing. And you know he eluded Ari 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:21.520 Fleisher alluded this. I've been saying this for quite some 0:21:21.560 --> 0:21:27.960 time that yes, the press would write editorials. And we're concerned. 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:30.240 We're concerned about what Obama has been doing when it 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:32.840 comes to press freedom. This administration has not been good 0:21:32.840 --> 0:21:35.040 on press freedom. We have some we have some problems. 0:21:35.240 --> 0:21:39.200 They weren't writting three hundred three paper editorials, though all 0:21:39.280 --> 0:21:44.080 joining together in collusion, you could say, against the Obama administration. 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:48.400 Obama was seizing the phone records of journalists to get 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:54.639 their sources multiple times. Obama was doing all kinds of 0:21:54.640 --> 0:21:56.879 surveillance on journalists. Some of it is known about I 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:00.080 can tell you some of it is not based on 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:01.919 what journals here in d C that I know have 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:06.720 told me from their personal experience. So Obama was willing 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:10.919 to just do whatever it took to get whoever, whoever 0:22:10.920 --> 0:22:14.640 he wanted to get. And perhaps most chilling of all, 0:22:14.960 --> 0:22:19.960 the Department of Justice under Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, 0:22:20.560 --> 0:22:25.200 included James Rosen, a Fox News reporter, included his name 0:22:25.359 --> 0:22:33.399 as an unindicted co conspirator in an Espionage Act prosecution. Now, 0:22:33.680 --> 0:22:36.760 not only is that way beyond what anybody else has 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:41.400 has done in recent memory when it comes to First Amendment, 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:43.760 because that really is chilling. Right, Well, your name is 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:46.919 appearing in a federal espionage indictment as a reporter probably 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.479 worries you a little bit. You start to think him. 0:22:49.480 --> 0:22:56.560 I next, Also, it was Fox News, and I couldn't 0:22:56.560 --> 0:22:58.280 help I read today because you know, you'll you'll get 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.520 these these blowhards from c and out of the places. Oh, 0:23:00.600 --> 0:23:02.879 we we didn't like when Obama did that. Yeah, you 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:06.399 didn't like it. You didn't act like it was the 0:23:06.520 --> 0:23:08.720 you know, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, which we get 0:23:08.760 --> 0:23:11.399 every day now with Trump. Everything Trump does is Pearl Harbor. 0:23:11.920 --> 0:23:15.880 He took up brands, friends clearance. He said something mean 0:23:15.920 --> 0:23:19.520 about almar Rosa. He he did, you know, just go 0:23:19.600 --> 0:23:23.440 down the list, Stormy Daniels. I mean, everything Trump does 0:23:23.520 --> 0:23:25.119 is the worst thing any human being has ever done. 0:23:25.160 --> 0:23:26.639 I don't know how these people can sleep at night. 0:23:26.680 --> 0:23:30.640 They must have so much anxiety. You know, they must 0:23:30.680 --> 0:23:35.560 have real issues because they seem to think that Trump 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:38.160 is basically destroying the country in new ways every day. 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.760 And it's almost amazing how creative Trump is in destroying 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.600 the country when you take a look at all the 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:47.840 things that they're saying. But this, you know, Boston Globe 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:50.280 calling for three papers to all stand in support of 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:52.360 the First Amendment. The First Amendment is not under assault. 0:23:53.240 --> 0:24:00.240 The fable, the falsehood, the lie of a neutral role 0:24:00.320 --> 0:24:03.720 press corps that is under assault, and it should be 0:24:03.720 --> 0:24:07.359 because it's a lie. These people who write for the 0:24:07.480 --> 0:24:10.760 editorial page of the Boston Globe, and I can't even 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:12.199 think about, you know, the New York Times and all 0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:15.040
