In courtrooms across the country, this concept of lawfare is, I believe, in their mind, is the only way they can defeat us, by taking out some of our top lawyers, whether it s Rudy Giuliani, Jeff Clark, or even the great John Eastman.
00:00:00.000I agree to disagree here, because I think that when someone says, well, here's my badge, I'm an agent of enforcement of the law for, and then names a particular entity that doesn't even exist.
00:00:16.820They're pretending to be a peace officer.
00:00:20.280They're pretending to be an agent for the government, which, by the very nature of that job, we have tenure.
00:00:26.500There's a hearing going on, you can bring that down, Denver, thank you.
00:00:31.540There's a hearing going on, I'm using this as an example, there's a hearing going on right now in Georgia, on the whole Fannie Willis situation, and about different defendants, and also about President Trump and Barber's case.
00:00:42.760In courtrooms across the country, this concept of lawfare is, I believe, in their mind, they think, is probably the only way they can defeat us, by taking out some of our top people, whether it's Rudy Giuliani, whether it's Jeff Clark.
00:00:57.640Jeff Clark's over in a courtroom right now in Washington, D.C., being disbarred.
00:01:01.760The great John Eastman, one of the greatest constitutional thinkers we have, is now up for disbarment, and we followed it, this audience watched it for 32 days.
00:01:11.380You saw that it was like Nazi judges, like a show trial in Moscow, just like what's happened to President Trump up in New York.
00:01:20.720This is the main, because remember, most of these lawyers are all left-wing progressive Democrats.
00:01:25.660The law schools are all progressive Democrats.
00:01:27.600All the, half the, three-quarters of the judges.
00:01:29.480This is what they're trying to use against you, and this is what you have to break.
00:01:33.080And look, there's nothing more I hate than following trials like I'm doing it.
00:02:06.400Mike, I realize you've got a bolt, and I've got a bunch of things to roll through.
00:02:10.020I've got Eastman and Clark's disbarment, right?
00:02:13.360I've got all the stuff happening to Trump in the gag order.
00:02:17.340And then I've got this Carrie Lake situation out in Arizona.
00:02:20.140They're hitting this—I normally say we have a 30-front war on everything against the radical left.
00:02:27.120It's right now kind of a—the subset of lawfare is like a 30-front war, because it's all over the country, in every jurisdiction, in every courthouse.
00:02:54.260He clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, one of the most coveted jobs you can get as a young attorney.
00:03:01.380He was a dean of a law school, and the fact that these Democrat operatives and these Democrat judges are trying to disbar him for advancing a legal theory is extremely dangerous.
00:03:16.020It is very dangerous to try to punish an attorney for advancing what you call a fringe legal theory.
00:03:23.920Remember, Thurgood Marshall argued that courts should ignore the Supreme Court's controlling precedent of more than 50 years, Plessy v. Ferguson.
00:03:34.980And Thurgood Marshall did not get disbarred.
00:03:37.800In fact, he got put on the Supreme Court of the United States because he won Brown v. Board of Education, a landmark case.
00:03:46.940If you agree with the case, you call it landmark.
00:03:49.680And apparently if the Democrats don't like the argument, if they disagree with the case, they call it fringe, right?
00:03:55.840And so it is outrageous that this is happening to John Eastman.
00:04:00.520If you're going to disbar John Eastman for pushing a legal theory that has been advanced in the past, that Congress even contemplated amending the Electoral Count Act of 1887 because it was ambiguous, and John Eastman was advancing a legal argument.
00:04:58.300Democrat attorneys pushed a fringe legal theory that they can disqualify President Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.
00:05:08.720That fringe legal theory got struck down 9 to nothing by the Supreme Court of the United States, that recent Colorado case, right?
00:05:17.240Does that mean that these Democrat attorneys who pushed that fringe legal theory should face disbarment like John Eastman's former boss, Judge Ludig, who's completely lost his mind?
00:05:28.960Like Lawrence Tribe up at Harvard Law School, who's also completely lost his mind, like these other Democrat lawyers and judges and operatives?
00:05:37.780Should those four justices on the Colorado Supreme Court get disbarred?
00:05:42.120Should Judge Sarah Wallace get disbarred?
00:05:44.180I mean, it is obscene that they are disbarring John Eastman for zealously representing his clients.
00:05:53.600This violates so many constitutional rights, the right to speak, to associate, to redress government, due process of law, effective assistance of counsel.
00:06:02.960These people should be—look, when President Trump is back in the White House and his Justice Department must open a criminal probe on this Democrat lawfare and election interference,
00:06:15.200this is a conspiracy to interfere in the election illegally, which is a crime, as the Democrats are pursuing against every Republican they can find.
00:06:26.620It's also a crime to conspire to violate Americans' civil rights, and that's exactly what the Democrats are doing.
00:07:36.220If you want to sue me for defamation, I'm not going to fight this.
00:07:39.580I'm not going to spend millions of dollars fighting this between now and the election with lawyers and the legal process.
00:07:46.120I'm not going to be distracted from winning that Senate seat, which is so critical to saving our country to make sure that President Trump can confirm judges and replace justices on the Supreme Court with good people.
00:07:58.800So Cary Lake said rightly that I'm just going to default.
00:08:02.740I'll just say, sure, whatever you pled in your complaint, I'll go along with that.
00:08:07.400Now you just have to prove your damages because the damages here are minuscule.
00:08:13.060And so that's what it's going to come down to is Cary Lake is going to spend her time and money on the campaign trail instead of in the courtroom.
00:08:51.780Exactly. And whatever damages they come up for this little wimp in Arizona who says he was defamed, that those damages are going to pale in comparison to the legal fees that Cary would have to spend fighting this to the bloody end.
00:09:27.900How can you gag a guy who's running for president of the United States?
00:09:31.960And this is clearly lawfare against him.
00:09:34.500How can not that he's going to abide by it, but how can the judge even put up a try to put up a gag order?
00:09:39.340Well, because, Steve, as we all know, there's a Trump exception to the Constitution because it's only lawful to gag criminal defendants in third world Marxist hellholes like North Korea, Zimbabwe, and now New York, D.C., and Atlanta with these left wing Zimbabwean judges that we have now.
00:10:01.940If there's anyone on the planet who must have the constitutional right to speak out against the judge, the court staff, the prosecutor, his prosecution team, the witnesses in the process, it is a criminal defendant going through a criminal trial, right?
00:10:19.360Especially if that criminal defendant thinks correctly that he's the victim of political lawfare and election interference like the Democrats are doing to Trump.
00:10:29.900This is clearly unconstitutional, and it is a very dangerous precedent.
00:10:35.580Trump's a billionaire former and future president.
00:10:38.200He's going to prevail on this lawfare.
00:10:40.580He's going to get elected president again.
00:10:42.400He's going to go back into the White House.
00:10:43.780But just imagine what they can do to real Americans and real America if they can do this to Donald Trump.
00:10:50.820And you are strongly recommending that criminal probes be initiated by Trump's Justice Department on the afternoon of the 20th of January, 2025,
00:11:02.420the very moment we take back over control of the apparatus, that you say criminal probes, either special counsels appointed or criminal probes, should be opened across the board in all of this?
00:11:12.740There's no question that Trump's acting attorney general needs to appoint special counsels to investigate this Democrats' lawfare and election interference on so many different levels.
00:11:27.480Against Trump, his top aides like you and Peter Navarro, these January 6th defendants, what they're doing to, you know,
00:11:36.260they're eviscerating 250 years of constitutional executive privilege to get Trump, to get you and Peter Navarro, two top presidential advisors,
00:11:45.800to testify in a grand jury before Congress against the president.
00:11:51.000That is a clear violation of executive privilege that we've had going back to George Washington.
00:12:37.280We need to give them a healthy dose of their own medicine because that's the only way this will ever end.
00:12:42.920Mike Davis, where do people go to find out more about what you're doing, your social media, and particularly figure out how to support you, sir?
00:12:51.260Yeah, you can go to the Viceroy's website at article3project.org, article3project.org, at article3project, at article3project.org.
00:13:02.200And my personal for the Viceroy is at M-R-D-D-M-I-A.
00:16:31.420And part of the reason here, just so people know, Inside Baseball, they come in so hard because they want to back off the big law firms from representing anything to do with Trump.
00:16:41.680The big law firms will not take it on.
00:16:47.540So you can't get the big law firms and you can't get those young aspiring professionals, the lawyers who want to make either partner at a big law firm or white shoe law firm or want to go practice there.
00:16:57.720This is all the way they go on on use information warfare and go on warfare here.
00:17:03.540But I want to go back to the fact of the key, the essence of this is what you proposed fringe when attorney generals of some of those powerful states in the union were writing this and taking it to the Supreme Court and trying to get standing and doing all these things.
00:17:20.080And the Electoral Count Act, the Electoral Count Act of 1887, they absolutely changed it radically and slipped that into a spending bill so it didn't have to be seen in broad daylight what happened.
00:17:33.880Was what you argued at the end of the day a fringe theory that you went outside the bounds of what a lawyer in our advocacy system would not take on and advocate for their client, sir?
00:17:47.420In fact, there was historical precedent, 1796, 1800, 1817, 1837, 1857, 1876, 1960, where vice presidents were asserting authority to resolve disputes over electoral votes.
00:18:04.340Whether that's correct or not remains an open question.
00:18:07.540It's never been addressed by any court, by the Supreme Court or otherwise.
00:18:10.440But one thing's very clear from the founding.
00:18:13.980The founders did not want Congress having the final say in the choosing of the president.
00:18:18.300That would destroy separation of powers and turn us into a parliamentary system of the kind we had just rejected.
00:18:24.000So whether the vice president had that authority or not, it was clear that Congress did not.
00:18:29.640So all of my recommendations were based on that central fact.
00:18:32.500The second thing is – and Judge Ludig, my former boss, he gave a speech down at the University of Georgia Law School where he admitted he never even looked at the issues before he testified about it in Congress and had no idea there was even a dispute about this.
00:18:47.120That's disgusting ignorance when he's acting like he knows the answer to these questions and calling me out for being, quote, wrong at every turn when he hadn't even bothered to look at the scholarship or the historical evidence.
00:18:59.140So these are the kind of things we're dealing with.
00:19:01.640People have gotten so blinded by their visceral hatred of Donald Trump that they can't even see straight about legitimate legal arguments.
00:19:09.980Whether those arguments would have prevailed or not is immaterial.
00:19:13.420The question that they were legitimate questions about open matters of constitutional law.
00:19:18.200And as a lawyer representing a client, I had an obligation to zealously advocate that client pressing legal theories that had any basis in merit as mine all did.
00:19:30.520And the fact that Congress changed the Electoral Count Act to get rid of one of the clauses in the Electoral Count Act that actually confirmed my views that the legislatures had authority to deal with this issue if their rules on the election were not followed.
00:19:44.400They got rid of that because that gave that gave support for my position.
00:19:49.940They got rid of it in the dark of night, as you said, and they made the Electoral Count Act, which, as you pointed out, is unconstitutional.
00:19:56.460It's a usurpation of powers that is not given to Congress.
00:19:59.880They made it worse, but they got rid of even the one provision in the old Electoral Count Act that supported my position.
00:20:06.240I mean, it's just this is and yet and yet for advancing those perfectly valid, even if wrong, and I don't think they're wrong, but even if they were, they were perfectly valid and reasonable legal theories that a state's attorneys generals from around the country also adopted.
00:20:21.540That that that the notion that is a disbarrable offense is going to give going to give vindication of the efforts by the 65 project, one of whose leaders said our goal is not just to have all these attorneys disbarred, but to make them so toxic in their firms and their communities that right wing legal talent will never want to take on these kind of legal challenges again.
00:20:43.580That will clear the path for election fraud and election inequality for as far as the eye can see.
00:20:53.900OK, one of the things that's very disturbing in the judges, what she's saying, this thing about when the government deems or the government says it's holy writ was not.
00:21:03.080Is that the same mentality we had when the government lied to us for years and years and years about the Vietnam War?
00:21:08.640Was that was this the same that the government lied to us about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?
00:21:12.980Was this what the lies they told us about the advancements we were making in Afghanistan?
00:21:16.920I mean, what is this concept if the government says it's holy writ and everybody has to kind of bow down to that?
00:21:23.100What kind of radical interpretation is that, John Eastman?
00:22:44.580And you better bow down to what we're saying or we're going to destroy you.
00:22:48.020When we talk about a criminal probe being started, let me go back to Bill Barr to be very blunt and very specific about a guy that's a bald-faced liar.
00:22:56.800He told the president in the Oval Office.
00:23:02.160He had the local U.S. attorneys in these districts check.
00:23:05.420The Epoch Times, two years after that, did a freedom of information and contact – was allowed to contact all those field offices with U.S. attorneys.
00:23:13.900I think ten of them or eight of them, nine of them came back and said there were no report, we did no study, we were not told to do anything, and we didn't do it.
00:23:21.960The only one that didn't was Philadelphia.
00:23:24.180And we know the U.S. attorney at the time was open and sent a letter to Barr to say, hey, there are major problems in here with these mail-in ballots.
00:23:40.300We know you've got to turn around this document over Holy Week because, trust me, that crowd does not care about Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, and particularly the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Resurrection Sunday, Easter.
00:24:09.040They get updates, but they can also donate and, as importantly, send prayers because my wife and I read them, and they are heartwarming, and we really appreciate it.
00:25:07.200Carrie Lake outmaneuvered them, Steve.
00:25:09.360What we know is that the Supreme Court allowed this case to go to trial, which should have never been allowed.
00:25:14.700So when you look at it, it's not just a Democrat issue, Steve.
00:25:17.560The Supreme Court of Arizona is all seven of them are Republican-appointed.
00:25:21.960And Carrie Lake knew that she was entering into a rigged legal system that was already going against her.
00:25:27.400So what she did by defaulting, it actually outfoxed the left and the Stephen Richer, the supposed Republican, because they were not expecting this at all.
00:25:37.760And yesterday, they just filed a response where they're basically saying they want this lawsuit prolonged, and they want to open up discovery still, even though it should now be moved into the damages space.
00:25:48.320So this whole defamation lawsuit that was brought up by these attorneys, the same attorneys who are trying to bankrupt Rudy Giuliani, right now they're looking at opening up discovery against Carrie Lake.
00:26:00.300It was all a ruse to go into Carrie Lake's personal communication for election interference.
00:26:05.800And this isn't the first time that Stephen Richer has done this.
00:26:08.580If you remember, back in the November 2022 election, Stephen Richer, he's the Maricopa County recorder.
00:26:14.260He's the one who set up a super PAC to try to take down Trump-endorsed candidates.
00:26:18.920And now he's opened up this defamation lawsuit, teamed up with these leftist attorneys to try to sink Carrie Lake's Senate race.
00:26:26.560So what Carrie Lake did was very calculated.
00:26:29.720She said, OK, well, show us what you're owed for the supposed statements and the damages.
00:26:35.400And now they're freaking out about it.
00:26:38.220So it was really slick, and I don't think they were expecting it.
00:26:42.000But here in Arizona, Steve, everyone knows that we have got a very compromised system.
00:26:46.560And what I'm looking forward to the most when President Trump wins next November is him appointing strong U.S. attorneys all across the country,
00:26:54.500because they need to start opening up investigations here at the state level for corruption.
00:26:59.400This is a very deep swamp that we're fighting in Arizona, and it's not just Democrats.
00:27:03.460It's we're fighting the uniparty Republicans.
00:27:05.040So with this whole defamation lawsuit, I'm curious to see what the judges are going to do.
00:27:10.320Are they going to allow discovery with Carrie Lake to access her personal communication, even though it's already been defaulted?
00:27:16.880And if they do, it's really going to expose the legal system.
00:27:20.200That's exactly why I've continued fighting my election lawsuit from November 2022.
00:30:23.240But I guess to her perverse credit, Carrie Lake really fully committed to the bit going around to any fringe MAGA outlet that would take her and claiming without any evidence at all that the 2022, the midterm election that she lost, were stolen as well.
00:31:31.300Donald Trump backed an entire slate of election deniers in 2022, Carrie Lake among them, and they all lost.
00:31:37.380But the thing about Lake that really makes her stand out is she appears to be the only one who pulled a big lie of her own, right, and insisted she was the real winner, actually.
00:31:46.260She did this so often, in fact, that she got herself sued by an elections official in Arizona.
00:31:51.400Republican Stephen Richer, the Maricopa County recorder who oversaw Lake's loss, again, a Republican, took her to court over her repeated false claims that Richer rigged the election against her.
00:32:03.880He sued her for defamation in June last year, and Lake has been stalling on the case ever since until now.
00:32:10.240She just filed a motion for default judgment, which essentially means she is not contesting her liability because of we have seen time and time and time.
00:33:27.480And so this defamation lawsuit was nothing more than an attempt at lawfare to distract, pull me off the campaign trail, interfere in an election, bleed me dry of every penny I have.
00:33:41.360And more importantly, try to get this Marxist that I'm running against put into this U.S. Senate seat.
00:34:20.800We've presented it in a court of law in our election case, which, by the way, is still ongoing and we'll be having a court date on that in May.
00:34:28.140So I told my team, let's cut right to the chase.
00:35:55.260Steve, this is the most important Senate race in the country.
00:35:58.340And, you know, let me just remind you, my opponent has been endorsed by, you know, by Clinton, Hillary Clinton and the Soros family and all these attorneys, by the way, in this case that I just said, we're going to call your bluff.
00:36:11.560All these attorneys, about a dozen of them, all of them coming from New York, Washington, D.C., Harvard, rolling into town, many of them with associations and affiliations, their groups with Soros.
00:36:24.180So this is just this is a witch hunt, a political witch hunt designed to pull me off the campaign trail and try to coronate this, you know, mini me of Joe Biden.
00:36:56.700You've got, you know, what are your medical issues?
00:36:59.540We'll have a psychiatrist look at you and let us know what, you know, independent medical examiner to look at you and let us know what your issues are because of my words.
00:37:09.300Did Carrie Lake's words hurt a grown man that much that you actually he's got to he's got to have a psychiatric treatment or whatever?
00:37:18.300Well, so we called their bluff because, you know what, Steve, they should already know what their damages are.
00:37:24.460And they wanted our butts in court in five days.
00:38:34.280And I'm not going to let a bunch of lawyers with links to Soros come into Arizona and try to derail a U.S. Senate seat, a Senate seat that's going to help President Trump move his America First agenda through.
00:38:55.500Carrie, where do people go to find out everything about you, particularly people if they want to send moderates or independents to your site?
00:39:04.040How do people support your social media and how do people support your campaign if they're so inclined?
00:39:07.140And by the way, this lawfare, you know, if they destroy our judicial system, it's over for all of us.
00:39:14.340Whether you're a moderate, you're a Democrat, we've got to protect our judicial system, our legal system.
00:39:21.680And this is going to go down this era with an asterisk, I believe.
00:39:25.680All of these cases are going to have an asterisk behind it, kind of like in Major League Baseball when they were breaking all the records and we found out everybody was using steroids and other things.
00:41:29.600It was done so they can access Kerry Lake's personal communication to drag this out during an election year so that they can help Ruben Gallego win.
00:41:37.640And so this is complete lawfare here at the state level.
00:41:41.240But Kerry Lake is punching back, and we'll see what the legal system does.
00:41:44.400But, you know, I don't have much confidence in the legal system anymore, Steve.
00:41:47.840And it's kind of sad because I was a former prosecutor.
00:41:50.560And what's happening here is so despicable.
00:41:52.900But I hope that there's a shock to the system to get out of this psychosis that the legal system is in.
00:41:58.060Well, part of the shock would be what Mike Davis said.
00:42:02.040You start a criminal probe in the afternoon that President Trump goes on a criminal probe on all these guys, and you – and hopefully they'll allow you to sit on the Judiciary Committee where you should be.
00:42:11.660Would you commit now to opening an investigation, a congressional investigation into all this?
00:42:44.560And if we don't stand up right now and punch back as hard as the Democrats have been punching back at us, we will lose our country forever.
00:42:52.420Our legal system has been weaponized, and we have to restore those two things in order to save our country again.
00:42:59.260Abe, where do they go right now to find out about your congressional race?
00:43:02.820They can go to abe4az.com, abe4az.com.
00:43:06.920And I'm proud to have President Trump's endorsement in my race and Carrie Lake's endorsement in my race because we're going to get President Trump and Carrie Lake the victory here in Arizona to get our country back on track and to defeat these evil villains once and for all, Steve.
