On today's show, we discuss the latest on the latest in the scandal surrounding the firing of FBI Director James Comey, and why we should all be mad. We also discuss why the FBI should have been able to do what it did and why it should have done it in the first place.
00:00:00.000Hey, I know this is a Oh boy, that's loud. This is a cold open here today.
00:00:26.000Just wanted to talk with you really quickly before we go into the open and before we go into the show.
00:00:29.000I think we're going to have Rudy Giuliani on the show.
00:00:33.000Look, every now and then when we get to do this show, we get to do it, and I mean that, even though this is a very dark day in American history, we get to do this with you.
00:01:00.000A bell that has been rung that can't be unrung.
00:01:02.000And let me just tell you this before we move on today, we're going to get into what we know.
00:01:06.000There's a lot of misinformation out there.
00:01:08.000Both sides, largely from the left and mainstream media.
00:01:11.000We'll get into what the FBI is doing, what the FBI is not doing.
00:01:14.000But before any of that, last night I thought about doing a video on Instagram, something while this was happening, or going to a live stream in that moment, because we've done that in the past.
00:02:01.000I always try and be pretty prudent with issues like this.
00:02:04.000And then I found myself at the crossroads of, if you have children, by the way, they shouldn't be watching the show today, uh, at the crossroads of, I don't care and fuck you.
00:02:20.000This is so wrong, so tyrannical, there needs to be a hill that you're willing to die on.
00:02:40.000Now, we don't need to make our decisions right now.
00:02:42.000We do need to wait for some information to come out, but the world needs to see that half of this country is pissed.
00:02:48.000I'm not saying make executive decisions while you're pissed, but we all need to hit the purge button, and the world needs to see you hit the purge button, and we get to hit the purge button with you.
00:02:59.000So, I reserve the right to change my mind on some things that I say today.
00:03:03.000I reserve the right with new information to maybe change tack, but Today's the day that we all have the right to be pissed off, to yell, to scream, to behave not as egregiously as the left.
00:03:21.000It's time to fight fire a little bit with fire, and today we're also going to get into, I was really spending all night, and I didn't sleep much, thinking about what is it that I can do, what is it that we can do here, where we can offer you quantifiable steps that you can take.
00:03:37.000And some of those are going to have to be addressed on Mug Club, not on YouTube.
00:03:39.000Not because it's a call for violence, not because it's a call for a physical civil war, but because I don't know the rulebook and I know that they're on high alert over there at YouTube.
00:03:53.000And before we get to anything else, and we're going to get into the show here today and hopefully have some fun with it as well, because I understand that's a big reason why you tune in, let's just dispel of this idea right on the outset that, oh, this is a Trump appointee to the FBI.
00:05:03.000Yeah, we need to be prudent, we need to be measured, but there's a reason that you should be mad.
00:05:08.000And there's, by the way, I wish I could say I bring you tidings of great joy.
00:05:12.000I think there is a silver lining, we'll get into that.
00:05:14.000There's a reason that you feel scared and you should be.
00:05:16.000There's nowhere else to go, let's be clear, there is nowhere else for this administration, for these intelligence agencies to go, other than to conveniently use the radical expansion of the IRS to do this to you.
00:05:43.000Beyond the actual physical violence, there's nowhere else for them to go other than to do this to other people.
00:05:51.000And they've already taken measures yesterday.
00:05:54.000With amendments and a process that was done in the dead of night in secret rooms so that you can be audited, you can be prosecuted, your house can be raided.
00:06:04.000And by the way, it's happened to a lot of people.
00:06:58.000By noon today, any Republican, right now in office or running for office, who does not actively champion the defunding, the dismantling, of our intelligence agencies, I will not vote for.
00:08:05.000And any Republican, and any host, anyone who claims to put on our team jersey, and doesn't actively advocate for the dismantling, dismembering, complete restructuring, if at all, of all of our intelligence agencies, there is a special place in hell for people like you.
00:08:25.000It's one thing To wear the Jersey of Evil, it's another to try and link arms with us and then turn on us.
00:13:18.000Monday night, President Trump released a statement that federal agents raided the estate at Mar-a-Lago.
00:13:23.000Now, we have some new information, and I also think there's some context that's important here that a lot of other people are going to probably miss.
00:13:30.000We have what the FBI has been busy not doing, because of what they've been busy doing.
00:13:36.000And I want this to be a reference piece for you.
00:13:39.000I want you to be able to reference this episode Whenever you say, hold on, what was it that the FBI was doing?
00:13:49.000I'm doing my best to include all of that here today for you.
00:13:52.000But let me read a statement here from President Trump.
00:13:56.000It says, These are dark times for our nation as my beautiful home Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida is currently under siege, raided, occupied by a large group of FBI agents.
00:14:02.000It's prosecutorial misconduct, weaponization of the justice system, an attack... Look, you already know this.
00:14:45.000So last night I tweeted this out really quickly, just so you can see the weaponization that's going to take place against you, tomorrow's War Sleep Well.
00:16:32.000And the most interesting part of this is that he started an LLC prior to leaving, listed his primary address for this business as Epstein's lead counsel's office.
00:17:10.000Well, look, one of the reasons that this matters is because every single media outlet right now is saying, wow, they must have had so much evidence to be able to obtain that.
00:17:17.000And I'm like, I don't trust these people.
00:17:50.000Are you to be blamed if you've ever been friends with somebody, or ever been acquaintances with somebody, before you found out that they're a criminal?
00:18:04.000And by the way, you have to, if you are one of those people that believe, oh this is totally above board, do you really think everything that's gone on with the Epstein trial was totally above board?
00:18:12.000I'm not even talking about his suicide on accident.
00:18:16.000What I'm talking about is that none of these people That he implicated, or could have implicated, have ever been put on a list and brought before a judge.
00:18:32.000We have lawsuits settled in the UK against royalty.
00:18:37.000None of the people in the United States that knew Epstein and hung out with him on a regular basis and were connected to the Clintons ever, including the Clintons, ever get brought before a judge.
00:19:22.000I have a friend who did that with a very famous man who had a jet, and the bathroom didn't work, and he used it, and he only found out afterwards, and he was no longer allowed on it.
00:20:13.000Now, plenty of Americans, of course, just so you know, you're not alone, have already taken to the streets in Palm Beach to support President Trump.
00:21:07.000So this comes from the Washington Post.
00:21:08.000All references are available at lateralthecutter.com.
00:21:10.000We've primarily tried to use leftist sources today so that, you know, we're not accused of, you know, providing information that you don't like.
00:21:17.000Reportedly, the Justice Department, they say that they've been investigating the potential mishandling of classified material.
00:21:23.000After, this is a quote, the National Archives and Records Administration said it had retrieved from Mar-a-Lago 15 boxes of records containing classified information earlier this year.
00:21:52.000So now these people are saying there could be potential mishandling of Classified.
00:21:56.000Now, let's be really clear, because you will see this all over Twitter, all over Instagram, all over YouTube, and probably on CNN from people who don't know their thumb from their dick.
00:22:04.000Saying he doesn't have right to classify material.
00:23:35.000Investigators went down to Mar-a-Lago and actually met with Trump's attorneys.
00:23:39.000We are told it was back in early June, they believe, and they met with Trump's attorneys.
00:23:44.000I am told that they were shown a room that had boxes of documents that were there that days after they left Mar-a-Lago, they sent a letter to Trump's attorneys asking them to further secure the room.
00:23:54.000It tells you that they had concerns about how that information, that material, those boxes of documents, Did his wife just beat him?
00:25:16.000Our researchers just sent a pretty surprising tweet from Andrew Cuomo.
00:25:20.000Wait, hold on a second, hold on a second, hold on a second.
00:25:22.000This is the Cuomo who covered up the nursing home deaths, right?
00:25:25.000This is the Cuomo who actually enacted policies that led to thousands of deaths and his place wasn't raided because who needs that many nipple barbells and evidence?
00:25:39.000Yeah, so he said DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid and it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation and legitimacy of January 6th investigations.
00:30:14.000Just like Harry Reid's brother, Larry Reid.
00:30:18.000For those of you who don't remember, Harry Reid and Larry Reid got into a bar fight together, and then he claimed that he got hurt in the bathroom.
00:30:23.000Harry and Larry brothers had a drunken brawl.
00:31:21.000Well, I hope they let her wear her outfit from that prison with juicy written across the back and then put her in a maximum security penitentiary with transgender inmates who, by the way, according to YouTube, so I just want to be clear, have never sexually accosted any female inmates ever.
00:31:34.000I'm now pro-male to female trans in Ghislaine Maxwell's prison.
00:34:51.000First, it's been alleged, this is Grassley saying this.
00:34:53.000First, it's been alleged the FBI developed information in 2020 about Hunter Biden, criminal, financial, and related activity.
00:34:59.000It's further alleged in August 2020, FBI supervisory intelligence analysts, blah, blah, blah, used FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused the investigative activity to cease.
00:35:13.000Basically, the FBI said this was misinformation when they knew it wasn't.
00:35:39.000And all of the information from that briefing was later leaked to discredit the investigation.
00:35:43.000And then Pelosi, Schumer, a couple of other people signed on to this, Nancy Pelosi, Mark Warner, and then Adam Schiff came out and said and used that information to discredit the investigation and say that the Congress is actually being used by Russia for disinformation against Hunter Biden.
00:36:00.000And then they raided Giuliani, by the way, claiming that he stole the laptop, once they realized it was real.
00:36:03.000So it went from, it's not real, it's fake, it's Russian disinformation, to the laptop was stolen, to the Geek Squad guy, the guy from the computer repair shop is a Russian plant.
00:36:12.000In other words, they constantly change the story so long as it allows them their grasp on power.
00:36:16.000It's not about prosecuting Donald Trump.
00:36:19.000It's about being able to prosecute you.
00:36:20.000That's why they want to increase the IRS.
00:36:21.000It's not about letting Hunter Biden off the hook.
00:36:23.000It's about letting Joe Biden off the hook.
00:36:25.000It's about letting Hillary Clinton off the hook.
00:36:27.000If, I've always said, I've said this repeatedly, it's not are we a country of laws.
00:36:41.000And the team that Grassley has a problem with here, the white, this was the same office that issued The FBI not going after Larry Nassar, not going after Hunter Biden, Eric Swalwell banging Chinese spies, Paul Pelosi insider trading, Epstein Black Book clients, Governor Whitmer, Governor Cuomo,
00:37:08.000Let's go back to 2003, their questionable involvement in the Herald Square bombing plot.
00:37:13.000Now, the reason that I'm setting that up for you is because it brings us to newer incidents where most of those involved with these domestic terror plots or kidnapping plots or assassination plots were, in fact, FBI agents.
00:38:19.000He's standing there holding it with a sign that says Hunter's Laptop and they go around him like World War Z. He showed it to us on air for the first time it was ever seen in public.
00:38:31.000We think it's more dangerous for the American people that you believe there's foul play in the election than for the sitting former vice president's son to say 10% goes up to the big guy.
00:38:43.000And by the way, something else that you may not know We have had our issues with the FBI.
00:39:08.000And I had the footage of them saying we're going to get sawed-off shotguns in our trunk for these people here for the Ben Shapiro speaking event.
00:39:19.000I tried to show it to the authorities.
00:39:20.000They had no interest there, the local authorities.
00:39:22.000There was a reporter for 60 Minutes who had no interest in it.
00:39:26.000Then we were on the phone with the FBI.
00:39:42.000By the way, some of those people who were on camera were arrested that night with the weapons that we filmed on camera for assaulting conservatives at the Ben Shapiro speaking event.
00:40:11.000He was involved with the plot to kidnap Governor Whitmer.
00:40:14.000Remember when he was asking us, when we were going down to Michigan to host that rally, and local Michigan news wrote about how, ooh, extremist groups showed up there.
00:40:21.000First they tried to say, just like with the Hunter Biden laptop, they tried to say only about two, three hundred people showed up to the Michigan State Capitol.
00:40:26.000It was many, many thousands of people.
00:40:28.000Then they said, it looks like there are extremist groups there.
00:40:30.000Then we had some probing questions about what we were doing from people there at the FBI.
00:40:35.000It was like, oh, we just actually want to get the information on the actual Death toll of nursing homes in Michigan because we know that they're inaccurate.
00:40:42.000And so we're encouraging everyone to actually go to the website and issue these FISA requests.
00:41:49.000Well, and it's really upsetting that a father is pissed off that his daughter was sexually accosted in Loudoun County in a bathroom by a boy wearing a skirt.
00:42:38.000Here's something else that we know they were doing in November 2021.
00:42:43.000The whistleblower revealed that the Bureau was investigating parents as domestic terrorists.
00:42:48.000January 2022, former FBI Director Andrew McCabe Compared mainstream conservatives to terrorists and called for them to be surveyed.
00:42:58.000Of course, let's not forget the now, I guess, defunct Misinformation Board by Nina Jankowicz because that one was just, they said, well, you know what, this one isn't a good look.
00:43:07.000And now, of course, this brings us just to yesterday, which you pointed out, Dave.
00:43:12.000Democrats that allows the IRS to target the middle class.
00:43:16.000It says in their bill, more litigation, more prosecution, more auditing.
00:43:21.000Does this... I mean, at a certain point, you have to look at all of it, add it up, and say, wait a second, this is all about Not only power, but selective enforcement.
00:43:33.000Selective use of that power and selective enforcement of the law.
00:43:37.000All references available at ladderwithcrowder.com.
00:43:40.000It's not even up for... it's not even up for debate!
00:44:20.000It was supposed to be an executive box.
00:44:22.000So, Governor DeSantis did sum this up pretty well.
00:44:25.000He tweeted out, the rate of Mar-a-Lago is another escalation in the weaponization of federal agencies against the regime's political opponents.
00:44:32.000While people like Hunter Biden get treated with kid gloves, now the regime is getting another 87,000 IRS agents to wield against adversaries of Banana Republic.
00:49:06.000It's time to fight for every single square inch.
00:49:08.000Name me an institution that exists, in government, and by proxy, of course, the entertainment industry, media, that has not been overtaken by the left.
00:50:22.000I don't want to see ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:50:24.000The thing about ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha from Eric Swalwell is that's a man who fears no retribution whatsoever.
00:50:32.000It's like a woman who talks a bunch of trash to some strange man she doesn't know because she knows that he won't hit her for the exact same reason he would hit a man.
00:52:59.000And they have their most senior 16-year-old anchor on the job.
00:53:03.000One of the fundraising texts that came out overnight that was sent out by the Republican National Committee, it says, you know, it calls this unprecedented.
00:53:18.000So this is a familiar move that we've seen from Republicans in moments where former President Trump has come under fire, especially found himself in legal jeopardy.
00:53:28.000But fundraising off of this itself is fairly unprecedented.
00:55:10.000I don't know where we go from here as a republic.
00:55:14.000Unless there's as much conflict as humanly possible, meaning between you and your representatives, and there does need to be a purity test.
00:55:21.000I do not mean, right now, I'm not calling you to arms in a physical civil war, to be clear.
00:55:26.000And by the way, if someone is doing that, glowworm.
00:55:30.000That's why you don't make your final executive decisions right now, but you start taking steps.
00:56:20.000He wasn't calling people to arms then, either, even though they've tried to make it sound like that.
00:56:23.000He said, make your voices heard peacefully.
00:56:25.000Make your voices heard peacefully and patriotically.
00:56:26.000And by the way, that's the catalyst for all of this, right?
00:56:28.000As they say, oh, January 6th, investigation.
00:56:29.000Wait, do you mean you're talking about a plot to overthrow the government from the same speech where he said, make your voices heard patriotically and peacefully?
00:56:38.000I know you guys are going up to Congress to make your voices heard, not your fists, not your feet, not weapons, just your voices heard.
00:56:47.000He was telling you, if you don't fight for your country, if you don't fight to make sure that you have the right representatives, if you don't fight to make sure that you hold those representatives accountable when they start making changes, if you don't do the things like Ron DeSantis did when he fired one of the prosecutors the other day because he refused to enforce the law, if you don't do things like that, you won't have a country.
00:57:05.000And so what are you sitting around waiting for?
00:57:39.000But I was at Hudson News, and the cover of Newsweek was, Will Trump do time?
00:57:43.000And it was a picture of him in prison.
00:57:45.000And I thought, wow, I wonder what's going to happen with Trump.
00:57:48.000And then the next day it was raided and it just shows how the media creates the narrative or they have information prior to anything happening and it just it's very scary that immediately that that's what happened the next day like just that's I could just see that and go oh that's weird I wonder what's gonna happen and within not even 24 hours that's what happened.
00:58:11.000It's a surreal experience for example when we had there were a few of them but I remember because I was watching it live Senator Hirono yeah demanding And complaining that I was not removed from YouTube for hate speech, which already the CEO of YouTube said there wasn't.
00:59:18.000So I understand, and we're fortunate enough, and just to be clear, this show, before we bring on Giuliani, It's not funded by billionaires who made money off of energy.
00:59:30.000It's not funded by a 501c3, by non-profits.
00:59:42.000And I don't mean like PBS says it, where they say viewers like you, but what they really mean is it's actually receiving countless untold federal grants.
00:59:50.000So if you want to go to loudmouthcrowder.com slash MugClub, you know, you can support it.
00:59:53.000We're going to do another, uh... Sorry, I gotta bring up my iPad here.
00:59:56.000Today's a little... a little bit screwy, bear with me.
00:59:58.000Um... I'm gonna be talking about stuff that we probably... probably can't talk on YouTube.
01:00:20.000Every Butthurt Emails hat or shirt sold helps Onward Together partners defend democracy, build a progressive bench, and fight for our values.
01:04:38.000Yeah, not with Trudeau, but with other Prime Ministers.
01:04:41.000And there was actually an assassination attempt, I can't remember if it was Stephen Harper or if it was Chrétien, where the guy got into the Prime Minister's house, mansion.
01:05:41.000So when people talk about, oh, America, we have socialized healthcare, it's because you're a silly country that's inconsequential and doesn't matter.
01:05:47.000And they do surgery with Tim Horton's knife.
01:06:50.000Back with me now, Caitlin Collins, Paul Callen, and CNN's Dana Bash.
01:06:54.000Dana, focusing in on the Trump cabinet, and as Sarah was laying out, specifically on the conversations around the 25th Amendment, what do you, what does that tell you about where the committee is, what path the committee is headed down now?
01:07:07.000This is why we have this here, just so you know.
01:07:09.000A lot of shows, either they do live programs where it's just people talking, or they pre-tape these kinds of programs.
01:07:17.000And by the way, we know this because we've spoken with people at YouTube extensively.
01:09:35.000Now, Mayor Giuliani, you're in the same office, I believe, one of the times you were a guest on this program, and we last spoke.
01:09:43.000And by the way, people can, of course, you can listen to his podcast at Rudy Giuliani's Common Sense, you can listen to it wherever podcasts are, you can follow him on Twitter at Rudy Giuliani.
01:10:08.000Is this unprecedented, what they've done with... Incredibly unprecedented in many different ways.
01:10:16.000First of all, it's the first time that a president Has authorized and of course his administration a criminal action against his predecessor.
01:10:26.000I mean, we've had a couple of centuries of history and we've avoided the practice in banana republics and fascist states of the practice of putting your predecessor in prison.
01:10:38.000And this is the first time any president has ever done that.
01:10:42.000I mean, even even when Trump was confronted with locker up, locker up, locker up every place he went, he never.
01:10:49.000Never restarted the criminal case against Hillary Clinton.
01:11:19.000They're not able to articulate what this crime is.
01:11:23.000This is some kind of alleged record violation.
01:11:26.000Yeah, they said mishandling of classified information.
01:11:29.000I want to make sure the audience hears it from you.
01:11:31.000A former, you know, a former president, right, just to be clear, of course many former presidents still have access to classified information.
01:11:38.000The media has tried to imply that that is somehow illegal.
01:12:11.000Manafort went to jail and was put in solitary confinement for doing something that had just about never been prosecuted criminally. Here's the
01:12:19.000real issue. They've investigated this man for seven years and they can't find a real crime. A
01:12:23.000crime that you and I would relate to as like stealing money like Biden did, like taking bribes,
01:12:31.000like carrying around the 38 revolver when you're a drug addict, which is a 10-year felony.
01:12:36.000And throwing it in a trash can by a school.
01:12:41.000Being involved in a $3.1 million money laundering transaction where Biden, on record, gets $800,000 when he's the Vice President of the United States.
01:16:50.000You have Republicans, you have conservatives out there, and this is what we're talking about.
01:16:52.000I mean, for crying out loud, Dinesh D'Souza had to wear an ankle bracelet because he gave money to a Friends campaign beyond the maximum allowable amount.
01:17:06.000You're talking about attorney-client privilege, and it's something that I know very well.
01:17:09.000Conservatives, Republicans out there right now are afraid to even keep notes or what they discuss with their lawyer, because even though it's their constitutional right, there are concerns that that could be raided.
