00:04:26.740The Republicans gave them this from the very beginning.
00:04:30.060Of course they think that they are above the law.
00:04:32.120The Republicans sat back and did nothing for years, even when we were all carrying on saying, do something, do something, even if it's wrong.
00:04:41.720Well, now that it's an election season, and, of course, they're starting to see the entire country turn against this government
00:04:48.940because they know it's rogue and that they know that it's happening on both sides.
00:04:53.860You've got Republicans who are snapping, too, and it's a good thing.
00:04:58.420But, my gosh, what in the world is it going to take?
00:05:02.820Here's just a reminder of what A.G. Merrick Garland said about being held in contempt.
00:05:22.980To the contrary, this is one that would harm our ability in the future to successfully pursue sensitive investigations.
00:05:30.120Now, there have been a series of unprecedented and, frankly, unfounded attacks on the Justice Department.
00:05:41.380This request, this effort to use contempt as a method of obtaining our sensitive law enforcement files, is just the most recent.
00:05:50.560The effort to threaten, to defund our investigations, and the way in which there are contributions to an atmosphere that puts our agents and our prosecutors at risk, these are wrong.
00:06:05.700Look, the only thing I can do is continue to do the right thing.
00:06:09.600I will protect this building and its people.
00:07:17.840I mean, this whole thing has gotten so out of control.
00:07:20.360We've got a live stream going on right now with the House Committee on the Judiciary on the Manhattan District Attorney's Office case that everybody knows was coordinating directly with the White House by the visitor logs and everything else.
00:07:34.440By all accounts, this whole thing should have been thrown out from the get-go.
00:07:42.120You have Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg who indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts.
00:07:49.980He was found guilty, right, with all of these instructions and everything else that they were given to the jury that were just completely unethical.
00:07:58.320Nobody had ever seen a courtroom run this way before.
00:08:02.240So it had to do with the hush money payments that he paid, that he made to Stormy Daniels.
00:08:08.360There was no crime, but the Democrats, they racked up what would be a misdemeanor to a felony in order to bypass the statute of limitations.
00:08:17.820And you had a Marxist judge, Juan Mershon, help to rig the trial for the guilty verdict.
00:08:58.020The hush payments through his then attorney, Michael Cohen, who is a convicted serial liar, who the media and the prosecutors labeled as his fixer in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
00:09:15.140The lamestream media named him a fixer because President Trump refused to give him a title or give him a position of any kind.
00:09:25.300And so basically, you've got one of these disgruntled employees who didn't get everything that they wanted, who went after President Trump.
00:09:34.260And then when they got in trouble for doing the things that they were doing and guilty of, then all of a sudden, they're trying to go after their boss.
00:09:42.780It's the same story, just another day.
00:12:37.120The Federal Election Campaign Act serves as the bedrock for regulating money in our elections.
00:12:41.100It delineates the authorities responsible for enforcing these rules, vesting exclusive jurisdiction
00:12:46.400in the Federal Election Commission and the Department of Justice.
00:12:48.800This statutory framework is designed to ensure uniform application of campaign finance laws nationwide, preventing the creation of fragmented enforcement landscape and leveraging the expertise and resources of federal agencies.
00:13:01.600District Attorney Alvin Bragg's decision to pursue charges against former President Trump for alleged violations of federal campaign finance laws marks a significant deviation from this established legal framework.
00:13:13.440By doing so, Bragg has effectively usurped the jurisdiction that this Congress has explicitly reserved for federal authorities.
00:13:21.320This overreach sets a troubling precedent for the politicization of legal proceedings at the state level.
00:13:27.260The danger here lies in the disparate enforcement standards that torture well-established federal law processes.
00:13:33.640As an example, the state judge in New York misinterpreted federal criminal mental intent standards and gave the jury an instruction which read,
00:13:41.640willfully contributing campaign contributions, but the statutory mental intent found in the Federal Election Campaign Act is knowing and willful.
00:13:49.360Now, imagine 50 states enacting the crime of campaigning by unlawful means and 1,000 different state and local prosecutors prosecuting presidents, former presidents, presidential candidates,
00:14:01.240and any number of House and Senate candidates under varying interpretations of FECA by bootstrapping those laws through their state's unlawful means criminal code.
00:14:10.220It is also disturbing in this case what hasn't happened over at the Department of Justice.
00:14:15.060Given the clear precedent established by the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the prohibition of state officers prosecuting federal crimes,
00:14:23.260it is perplexing that Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Department of Justice did not intervene in the prosecution of Donald Trump.
00:14:30.760The DOJ's election year sensitivity policy is designed to protect the public from being influenced by legal proceedings during an election year.
00:14:38.340Had the DOJ zealously represented the United States by intervening to protect its own jurisdiction and that of the FEC,
00:14:46.380this issue might not be the predominant one of the 2024 presidential cycle.
00:14:50.840A disclosure on May 31st in unredacted FEC documents reveals that the Department of Justice conducted a year-long investigation
00:14:57.340and found no criminal acts committed by former President Trump.
00:15:00.820This revelation underscores the problematic nature of Bragg's prosecution and his intrusion upon federal jurisdiction.
00:15:08.340Again, the implications for allowing local district attorneys to prosecute based on their interpretations of federal campaign finance law are profound.
00:15:15.800Such actions risk eroding the uniformity and predictability that FEC aims to provide.
00:15:20.600For me, a larger First Amendment concern is at play here.
00:15:26.100That is the deterrent that this encroachment on federal jurisdiction will have on well-qualified candidates from seeking public office.
00:15:33.340Fearing disparate legal standards based upon their locality.
00:15:37.640Preserving the centralized enforcement mechanism envisioned in FECA is essential to a fair and impartial oversight of campaign finance regulations and of our elections.
00:15:47.140Alvin Bragg's misguided prosecution of former President Donald Trump represents a clear usurpation of federal jurisdiction.
00:15:55.400Coupled with the DOJ's inaction, it's compounded the issue.
00:15:59.180The dangerous precedent of local prosecutorial overreach in matters of federal concern must be addressed to maintain the integrity of our electoral system.
00:16:07.620We must reaffirm the exclusive authority of the FEC and the Department of Justice to enforce federal campaign finance laws, ensuring consistent and impartial application across the United States.
00:16:19.920Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for the opportunity, and I look forward to your questions.
00:42:05.880How can you believe anything that these people say?
00:42:09.780And then I mentioned about what was going on on the coast of Florida, and she has a house there, and she goes, I haven't even heard about that.
00:42:18.180And I said, of course not, because they don't want you to know.
00:42:22.420Most people do not keep up with the news the way we do.
00:42:27.340And the news that's really out there is completely buried.
00:42:30.920I mean, when you talk about the algorithms, you've got Google that doesn't even hold back on how they rank certain things.
00:42:40.240And I know that Rumble is absolutely going after them in a lawsuit over that because of their rankings and everything else.
00:49:02.200We're no longer going to be number one.
00:49:03.940But, oh, yeah, that was the goal anyway.
00:49:06.500So you've got in March 2023, South Africa's foreign ministry, they announced that Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Algeria, Argentina, Mexico, Nigeria, and other nations wanted to join BRICS Alliance.
00:49:24.660This was a direct threat to the West and the U.S. dollar dominance.
00:49:30.300So you're starting to see the slide of the dollar and you have all of them here since the start of the U.S. proxy war in the Ukraine.
00:49:38.820We are just losing one battle after another.
00:49:44.020So a lot of people are asking, was this always the plan for the Obama-Biden regime to take down U.S. dominance on the global stage?
00:49:52.460Because that's exactly what's happening at a rapid pace.
00:49:56.140So under Biden, who is openly mocked on the international stage, traditional U.S. allies are now aligning with China.
00:50:07.060This is what we've been worried about.
00:50:10.660Well, they pushed Russia and China together.
00:52:40.040So, President Trump is just going to have fun with this whole thing anyway, regardless of what's going on.
00:52:45.720He's still going to have his last word, so to speak.
00:52:49.580So, President Trump causes Christine Piccolosi to completely flip out after making a wild claim about her mother Nancy and himself during a meeting with House GOP lawmakers.
00:53:26.060You can imagine what Nancy did with those pursed lips and those crazy eyes, you know, and vodka breath.
00:53:33.220What she did when she heard this, he said, and then he goes on, I don't know what this means really, but this is what he told the group of House R's.
00:53:44.680So, Jake Sherman is, of course, reporting on all of that.
00:53:48.180And Christine Piccolosi follows up and she says, speaking for all four Piccolosi's daughters, this is a lie.
00:53:58.340His deceitful, deranged obsession with our mother is yet another reason Donald Trump is unwell, unhinged, and unfit to step anywhere near her or the White House.
00:56:18.960I mean, it just gets more and more bizarre.
00:56:21.440Every single day brings up something completely different in this crazy world for us to just talk about because it's just so – they're so out of touch with all of it.
00:56:32.080But I thought this was really great and it was really fun.
00:56:35.860So, you had the Babylon Bee disqualified – this is their version – Leah Thomas asks if he can still just hang out naked in the Olympic women's locker rooms.
00:56:50.780That's what it's really all about, too.
