00:01:12.000 I put on my handling, my buttons were undone, and I can't do that next to the Hodge Twins. 1.00

00:01:16.000 You did it on purpose.

00:01:17.000 I cannot do that next to the Hodge Twins.

00:01:18.000 I'm hearing some little echo of something here right now.

00:01:20.000 Alright, welcome to the MP... How are you guys doing?

00:01:22.000 Doing good, man.

00:01:23.000 Don't worry, man.

00:01:23.000 I'm not homophobic.

00:01:24.000 What?

00:01:25.000 Why would you...

00:01:26.000 You can let that...

00:01:27.000 You can let...

00:01:28.000 You can introduce some buttons.

00:01:29.000 Why don't you start the show like that?

00:01:30.000 This was a wonderful start.

00:01:31.000 Alright, listen.

00:01:32.000 Not sure that's what he meant.

00:01:33.000 We didn't want to cover the impeachment trial, but we feel like we have to at this point 0.97

00:01:34.000 because no one else is going to be debunking the crap that is going on. 0.93

00:01:34.000 We're going to be covering the impeachment trial. 0.93

00:01:41.000 So we'll be live fact checking this.

00:01:44.000 We didn't plan on doing a drinking game, but we will be doing a drinking game.

00:01:47.000 But first, you can use a promo code.

00:01:48.000 I'm hearing some echo back here.

00:01:49.000 I don't know if it's the speaker that's on or something.

00:01:52.000 But first, you use the promo code FIGHTLIKEHELL at lotterworthcrowder.com slash mugclub and you get $30 off because they consider that incitement to violence... I don't!

00:02:02.000 Are you supposed to fight any other way?

00:02:03.000 I don't know.

00:02:04.000 I don't know what they do.

00:02:05.000 I don't know what they mean by Churchill and when they used to say things.

00:02:08.000 It's just everything is an incitement to violence.

00:02:10.000 I will tell you, look, look, and also the hashtag is Crowder Impeachment Trial.

00:02:14.000 We'll be covering this.

00:02:15.000 We'll have my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman to talk about what's going on in the proceedings, the legalese, the boring stuff.

00:02:20.000 You all need to fight like hell. 0.73

00:02:21.000 Listen, you all need to fight like hell.

00:02:23.000 And what I mean by this is not a call to violence, but you need to fight like hell to make sure that we have election integrity moving forward.

00:02:29.000 You need to fight like hell to make sure that we follow rules and regulations and precedent.

00:02:32.000 You need to fight like hell.

00:02:33.000 Right now they're calling for unity while taking an unprecedented action trying to impeach a private citizen.

00:02:39.000 Look, you have to make a decision.

00:02:41.000 Either impeach a sitting president or make it a criminal trial if it's a private citizen.

00:02:46.000 Why not?

00:02:46.000 Go for the crime.

00:02:47.000 Make it a criminal trial.

00:02:48.000 I think they don't want to do it because it's a higher standard.

00:02:49.000 It's a higher burden of proof.

00:02:51.000 You mean they need evidence for that, right?

00:02:52.000 What is this echo that I'm hearing?

00:02:53.000 I'm hearing something echoing.

00:02:54.000 Is it TV on?

00:02:55.000 You guys hear this?

00:02:56.000 I don't hear nothing.

00:02:57.000 It's annoying.

00:02:58.000 It's annoying the hell out of me.

00:03:00.000 And I'm just compromising in all kinds of ways.

00:03:02.000 OK, we've got the Hodge Twins, conservative twins.

00:03:04.000 It's their YouTube channel.

00:03:05.000 We've got Gerald here, Gerald A. How are you?

00:03:07.000 I'm well, sir.

00:03:08.000 How are you?

00:03:08.000 And we have some drinking game rules.

00:03:10.000 I know it's the middle of the day, but it's the only way you can handle this impeachment trial.

00:03:12.000 That's normal for me.

00:03:13.000 What are the drinking game rules there, Court of Black Garrett?

00:03:14.000 Drinking game rules are...

00:03:17.000 Insurrection, hate speech, subverted democracy, terrorist, or QAnon. 1.00

00:03:25.000 Subverted?

00:03:26.000 Introverted? 0.99

00:03:28.000 Bonus, if someone says, incited the erection, you've got to finish your drink. 0.98

00:03:33.000 You've got to finish that drink. 0.87

00:03:35.000 There you go.

00:03:35.000 So a couple of things to notice here.

00:03:36.000 So let's kind of tell you what's going on right now.

00:03:39.000 Congress triggered impeachment, right, without a trial, with no witnesses, with no evidence.

00:03:42.000 They didn't actually agree on the terms of this trial until I believe yesterday, which we'll talk with Bill Rischman is kind of unprecedented.

00:03:48.000 But here's something else.

00:03:49.000 I spent all night wanting to commit suicide because I was reading the brief and I was reading the counter briefs.

00:03:55.000 Did anyone here actually read that?

00:03:57.000 The counter briefs?

00:03:57.000 Did anyone read all the briefs?

00:04:00.000 Here's the thing, if you actually read it, a lot of us want to expect that people in authority, like the FBI, right?

00:04:00.000 No.

00:04:07.000 We think, oh they can break into anything because they just have like a thumb, you know, fake skin on their thumb and they can break into it. 0.94

00:04:13.000 And then when you work with the FBI, you realize, oh they're totally inept, right?

00:04:18.000 We infiltrated Antifa. 0.67

00:04:19.000 They were like, how'd you do it?

00:04:20.000 We're like, I don't know, it was an encrypted app.

00:04:21.000 They're like, what's that?

00:04:22.000 We're like, ho ho ho, we feel safe.

00:04:24.000 So, you'd also like to think that you're journalists.

00:04:27.000 You'd like to think that your politicians are held to a higher standard.

00:04:29.000 You would like to think it would impeachment, right?

00:04:30.000 You think it's more than, ah, he said something mean.

00:04:33.000 Right.

00:04:34.000 Did you look at the sources, the evidence?

00:04:36.000 The evidence.

00:04:37.000 I have this here.

00:04:37.000 This is, it reads like a Vox article.

00:04:40.000 Half of the evidence, the sources, and this is available at lateralistcredit.com, are op-eds from the New York Times or Washington Post from known Trump haters or just random tweets.

00:04:50.000 See, we say he did something wrong, so he did something wrong.

00:04:53.000 Yeah, so let me read you a couple here.

00:04:55.000 Gerald, you can kind of give your thoughts while I find some of these.

00:04:57.000 My thoughts are we're not going to find a whole lot out about what's going to happen today, right?

00:05:01.000 They're just going to get up and tell a bunch of sad stories and say we should be able to impeach President Trump because we don't like him, because the newspapers that we have on our payroll said that he did something wrong.

00:05:09.000 I think that's exactly what's going to happen today.

00:05:11.000 Right.

00:05:12.000 Here's one.

00:05:12.000 OK, here's one.

00:05:13.000 This is from the brief, right?

00:05:14.000 This is the proof that they brought.

00:05:16.000 In that dimension, we'll talk about the people, Ted Lieu, My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Erskine, will be on later.

00:05:21.000 I'm so sorry.

00:05:21.000 He misrepresents that entire race of people.

00:05:24.000 Eric Swalwell.

00:05:25.000 I would say it reads like swamp creatures.

00:05:29.000 It's like the cast from Creature from the Black Lagoon.

00:05:33.000 So this is one right here.

00:05:34.000 This is in the brief.

00:05:35.000 It says, reflecting an ominous pattern that recurred many times over the weeks that followed, President Trump's attacks on Raffensperger sparked threats of death and violence.

00:05:42.000 One such message warned that the Raffensperger should be put on trial for treason and face execution. 0.98

00:05:50.000 You know what their source is?

00:05:51.000 It's Business Insider.

00:05:53.000 It's not even an original source.

00:05:55.000 This is in the brief.

00:05:57.000 It's Business Insider, which is a clickbait rehash of a local Fox 5 source that included a random tweet!

00:06:05.000 What did they do?

00:06:06.000 Send, like, an intern online to Google stories about the insurrection, quote-unquote?

00:06:10.000 Here's one.

00:06:11.000 Barr announced on December 1st that the DOJ had uncovered no—this is the evidence they brought forward, by the way—had uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election. 0.94

00:06:21.000 Barr reportedly told President Trump at the time that his claims of election stealing were bullshit.

00:06:26.000 Um, did you confirm this conversation? 0.97

00:06:27.000 Did you ask anybody?

00:06:28.000 Because the only source is an op-ed from the Hill!

00:06:33.000 Oh, wow.

00:06:34.000 I hope they did the research.

00:06:35.000 Here's another one.

00:06:36.000 Again, go read the review.

00:06:37.000 It's all at lottowithcrowder.com.

00:06:39.000 I hate our country for this.

00:06:41.000 Not all the country, just the people running it right now.

00:06:43.000 And I don't hate... Yeah, you don't hate.

00:06:46.000 I do, I do, I hate.

00:06:48.000 I'm a hater.

00:06:48.000 I'm what the hip-hop generation calls a hater.

00:06:51.000 Here's one.

00:06:52.000 Through these and other statements, President Trump went the weeks preceding his rally, doing everything in his power to persuade attendees that their votes and the election itself were going to be stolen away in the joint session.

00:07:00.000 That is, unless they somehow stopped it by making plans to, quote, fight like hell and fight to the death against this act of war by radical left Democrats. 1.00

00:07:09.000 Bullshit! 1.00

00:07:10.000 He was actually saying that Democrats would rather fight, they would fight to the death if you didn't fight like hell. 1.00

00:07:15.000 If the shoe was on the other foot, he was saying Democrats would fight this to the death.

00:07:20.000 He never said you need to fight these people to the death.

00:07:22.000 What's their source?

00:07:23.000 Their source is an article from NBC News and an article from ABC News.

00:07:29.000 Nothing from Fox. Wow. Here's one of their sources. They list is a John Goodman, right? And his source

00:07:37.000 is the incitement timeline. This is a guy who published articles in Washington Post against

00:07:42.000 Michael Flynn. The guy was talking about the Logan Act.

00:07:44.000 Here's another one. Maggie Haberman is someone they cite. She's a CNN political analyst. The

00:07:49.000 Podesta emails were dropped by WikiLeaks, and they showed that she was a Clinton operative.

00:07:53.000 So when you actually look into the people who wrote these sources, which shouldn't be counted

00:07:56.000 as legitimate evidence because they're op-eds in Washington.

00:07:59.000 Post, New York Times, The Hill, you also realize that these people are all leftist activists.

00:08:04.000 Not to mention the people who are trying to commit this sham impeachment trail. Every

00:08:08.000 single one supported the Russian impeachment, which we know was a hoax. Why don't we impeach them? Why don't we impeach

00:08:14.000 them?

00:08:15.000 They just lie about everything!

00:08:16.000 We know that Russia was a hoax. 0.98

00:08:18.000 We know that it was false.

00:08:19.000 And then they're so flagrant in disregarding any accountability that they said, oh, you guys brought the former articles of impeachment that we now found out were factually incorrect.

00:08:28.000 And if anything, Hillary Clinton and the Steele dossier, you know what?

00:08:30.000 Let's put them in charge of this impeachment of a private citizen after he left office.

00:08:35.000 Are they starting right now?

00:08:36.000 I think it is.

00:08:37.000 They're starting very late because they're politicians.

00:08:39.000 I think they're doing the pledge.

00:08:40.000 Hashtag.

00:08:41.000 Oh, are they doing the pledge?

00:08:42.000 I think so.

00:08:42.000 Let me see.

00:08:45.000 You know what?

00:08:46.000 Let's do the pledge because they don't want us to hear their pledge, apparently.

00:08:48.000 So, uh, let's do the Pledge of Allegiance, Gibbon.

00:08:50.000 Do you have that ready?

00:08:52.000 Alright, let's do this before we start.

00:08:57.000 Back there.

00:08:59.000 Back there in the corner.

00:09:02.000 That's a way to honor this country.

00:09:04.000 I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:09:15.000 That was pretty good, I gotta say.

00:09:16.000 The Pledge of Allegiance.

00:09:17.000 Richard Stans.

00:09:21.000 Alright.

00:09:22.000 No, I'm not laughing.

00:09:23.000 Hey, look!

00:09:25.000 It's the white ball.

00:09:28.000 In the middle of the screen there?

00:09:28.000 The cue ball.

00:09:30.000 Let's hear what they have to say really quickly and then I want to go to everyone's thoughts.

00:09:33.000 While the Senate of the United States is sitting for the trial of the article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives against Donald John Trump, former president of the United States.

00:09:44.000 That's what the J is for! 0.88

00:09:45.000 That's kind of boring.

00:09:45.000 John!

00:09:49.000 So all they're arguing today is the constitutionality of going forward with this.

00:09:53.000 By the way, it's completely unconstitutional, but that's what they're going to be arguing about and then decide if they want to go forward with impeachment of a private citizen tomorrow.

00:10:01.000 So we just, listen, I wish we didn't have to do this, but here we are.

00:10:06.000 They wanted to be able to claim that they impeached Donald Trump twice.

00:10:09.000 I'm going to have to boot one of the Hodges because my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, Is here, and I would like to ask him some questions to fill you in on the proceedings. 1.00

00:10:09.000 Before they go on, you know what? 1.00

00:10:17.000 So, everybody please welcome my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman.

00:10:20.000 Come on in, come on in.

00:10:21.000 Y'all gonna do me like Rosa Parks, huh?

00:10:24.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:10:25.000 We're letting you sit in the front.

00:10:29.000 Alright.

00:10:30.000 Bill, what's going on here for people who don't know?

00:10:32.000 So, as you said correctly, yesterday we finally got the rules.

00:10:36.000 You sound surprised.

00:10:37.000 No, no, no.

00:10:38.000 Look, yesterday they finally agreed on the rules.

00:10:40.000 They exchanged a lot of those pre-trial briefings that I don't know why you tortured yourself by going through them, but you did.

00:10:45.000 And so, now today we've got the four-hour session.

00:10:48.000 They've officially started 1 o'clock Eastern, noon Central.

00:10:51.000 They've started the house managers, kicked it off, and they're moving forward through four hours of debate.

00:10:55.000 Now this is different because they only have to have a simple majority to decide whether or not it's constitutional or unconstitutional.

00:11:03.000 Everything could end today, but I think more likely than not we're going to see this move to tomorrow.

00:11:08.000 So Wednesday and Thursday is when we're going to have 16 hours of each side presenting their case.

00:11:13.000 Prosecution.

00:11:15.000 Defense.

00:11:15.000 Now, they don't have to use it all, and any trial lawyer will tell you the best part of valor in a trial is knowing when to sit down and shut up and have left with a good impression.

00:11:23.000 I'm going to imagine that the prosecution is going to use every single minute to trot out, what was it, Haberman, ABC, NBC, ABC, The Hill, Washington Post, I think Vox.

00:11:35.000 I believe some transgender male-to-female from Slate.

00:11:38.000 I heard the Animaniacs were maybe gonna come, but I think there'll be a surprise turn of co-witness for the defense.

00:11:45.000 Just watch.

00:11:46.000 Dot's Poetry Corner.

00:11:47.000 It's gonna be amazing.

00:11:50.000 This isn't just for show.

00:11:51.000 Like, anybody's mind is actually not made up going into this, this four-hour, like, camera zone-in thing for them.

00:11:57.000 This is like, this is going into every one of their campaigns next year.

00:12:00.000 That's it.

00:12:01.000 That's all this is, right?

00:12:02.000 This is exactly what this is.

00:12:03.000 You're gonna see an amazing clip fest that comes out from every single person in the opportunity to say something.

00:12:09.000 Yeah, like Swalwell.

00:12:10.000 That's what he did running for president.

00:12:11.000 He knew he had no chance, but he just wanted to get his profile a little bit higher, raise some money, maybe get a cabinet position.

00:12:16.000 These people don't run for president expecting to win.

00:12:16.000 That's what happens.

00:12:18.000 They run to sell books.

00:12:19.000 And so Swalwell was like, I accuse him of the Russia collusion. 1.00

00:12:22.000 Oh, that's bullshit. 0.99

00:12:23.000 The media's not going to hold me accountable, so I'll get some more airtime. 1.00

00:12:23.000 Doesn't matter. 1.00

00:12:26.000 Pretty much.

00:12:26.000 I'd love him to get some airtime off a cliff.

00:12:28.000 Figuratively!

00:12:30.000 On to a big pillow, a big my pillow, in fact.

00:12:33.000 So, we've got instead of Senator, or excuse me, instead of Chief Justice Roberts presiding, we now have our longest-running, oldest 80-year-old Senator, who's a Democrat, who will be a witness and a juror.

00:12:33.000 Figuratively.

00:12:44.000 And why is that?

00:12:45.000 Explain to people who don't know, because it should be Chief Justice Roberts.

00:12:47.000 That is one of the interesting things.

00:12:49.000 The Constitution only has four express requirements.

00:12:51.000 And one of those requirements is, you know, you have the Senator, and then you have that it's going to be presided by the Chief Justice when it is for a sitting President.

00:12:59.000 And that's why we're even having the debate today about whether you can use the impeachment for someone who is not in actual office.

00:13:06.000 And so the person who is doing it is Patrick Leahy?

00:13:08.000 Yes.

00:13:09.000 He's a well-known Democrat, and I think he's 104, so he's not present for a lot of health reasons, but this is something people don't understand.

00:13:15.000 Without Chief Justice Roberts, when you have basically Patrick Leahy presiding, he's both juror and judge.

00:13:22.000 And a witness.

00:13:23.000 On top of that, he is also being alleged witness.

00:13:24.000 Phil, how is this allowed?

00:13:25.000 You're a lawyer, he's a lawyer.

00:13:27.000 How is that allowed?

00:13:29.000 How can you be a witness?

00:13:30.000 Did that happen anywhere else?

00:13:33.000 Well, no.

00:13:34.000 And the reason, this is a very important distinction.

00:13:36.000 People are often going to say, well wait a minute, we've created a criminal system that has a higher standard than in a civil court, beyond a reasonable doubt.

00:13:42.000 It has additional rules, all kinds of things that are meant to preserve fairness.

00:13:46.000 Most of those rules don't apply in an impeachment.

00:13:49.000 That's why Getting into this particular moment is going to allow them to get evidence, testimony, procedure, the time frame.

00:13:56.000 All of it is geared towards putting on more of a show than you would normally have in a real criminal trial, which is why they're trying to avoid that entirely.

00:14:03.000 If they knew they had a criminal case, they'd go do the criminal thing.

00:14:06.000 Right.

00:14:07.000 But they know they don't.

00:14:08.000 So they're going to have to move through this procedure.

00:14:10.000 I'll give an analogy, right?

00:14:11.000 So you have your military courts or your Guantanamo base, right?

00:14:14.000 And the whole complaint there from the left is, well, you know, these folks, they're not citizens, or they are, but they committed domestic terrorism.

00:14:20.000 You should still treat them and put them in the criminal justice system.

00:14:23.000 But when it comes to the former president of the United States, they go, no, no, no, we shouldn't put them in the criminal justice system and actually follow the rules that we espouse.

00:14:32.000 So that's why they're going to have this particular procedure and that's why it's unfortunate because we're going to see a lot of testimony.

00:14:37.000 You're going to see a lot of evidence and folks are going to go, I've seen SVU.

00:14:40.000 I know you can't let that in.

00:14:43.000 You're going to be able to get it in here.

00:14:45.000 It's not the way that it normally works in a trial.

00:14:48.000 Unfortunate, but.

00:14:49.000 I find the most interesting thing is when you look at every single article that's come out talking about the procedures, the final bipartisan agreement, Leahy being in charge, the 16 hours, the fact that on Thursday there will be a written Q&A session where they'll write questions down, read them aloud, and have them answered by both sides.

00:15:05.000 What is this, Reddit?

00:15:06.000 Yeah, kind of.

00:15:07.000 It's an Ask Me Anything.

00:15:08.000 But at the end of every article is the statement... I have a question.

00:15:12.000 Why do you suck? 1.00

00:15:13.000 Why do you suck so much? 1.00

00:15:15.000 You should put that question in. 1.00

00:15:16.000 I should put that. 0.99

00:15:17.000 Why do you suck so much, Patrick Leahy and Eric Swalwell? 1.00

00:15:21.000 Everything about this is just shit. 1.00

00:15:23.000 This is the thing. 1.00

00:15:24.000 They want you to be afraid to say, fight like hell.

00:15:26.000 You mean to tell me that everyone takes fight like hell, especially when taken in tandem with make your voices heard peacefully, that that means you're calling people to violence?

00:15:33.000 This is what is happening with big tech.

00:15:36.000 You can say that there has been voter fraud.

00:15:38.000 You can say there are voter irregularities.

00:15:39.000 You cannot say on YouTube that it affected the outcome of the election.

00:15:42.000 Otherwise, you'll get banned.

00:15:44.000 And this entire basis of this impeachment is he incited people to violence by drawing attention to voting irregularities because that causes unrest, that it caused the insurrection.

00:15:57.000 We'll go through the timeline.

00:15:58.000 The insurrection that happened in the Capitol was before his speech even ended.

00:16:01.000 Even if they left midway through, 1.8 miles, they would have had to beat the world record mile time.

00:16:07.000 And that's why I think Lindsey Graham said you don't want to call all the witnesses.

00:16:10.000 Usain Bolt was there.

00:16:11.000 He ran all the way down to the Capitol.

00:16:12.000 I heard.

00:16:12.000 He was the first one in the Capitol building.

00:16:14.000 It took him five minutes to get there!

00:16:15.000 He's tall, he has a long stride.

00:16:17.000 Ultimately, we're going to see a process that I think reveals the true intentions.

00:16:22.000 This isn't about, certainly not unity, certainly not about healing the country, certainly not about justice, it's not about trying to actually hold someone accountable, it's about scoring political points, creating good moments that you can then replay over and over and over again.

00:16:37.000 And I think it's going to ultimately backfire.

00:16:39.000 I think it is actually already at this moment.

00:16:40.000 A lot of folks are like, what's going on?

00:16:42.000 On both sides of the aisle, they're saying, what is really going on here?

00:16:45.000 I thought we were moving on.

00:16:47.000 So it'll be really interesting, both the four hours we have today and the 16 hours on each side that we got to do for all of that.

00:16:55.000 Here's the thing.

00:16:55.000 We have a perfect case.

00:16:57.000 We have a perfect precedent.

00:16:58.000 Not just legally, but what should happen here.

00:17:01.000 Nixon resigned.

00:17:02.000 They didn't impeach him.

00:17:03.000 Because, at that point, a lot of people weren't necessarily thrilled with it, but because he saw it as the only way to unify the country, to heal and move on, Ford gave him a pardon.

00:17:12.000 And a lot of people were upset by it, but if you look back now at historians, even liberal historians, they say that was the right thing to do.

00:17:18.000 Right now, we have a president who committed no crime, who didn't call anybody to violence.

00:17:23.000 This is paper thin, even thinner than the Russia collusion.

00:17:26.000 Well, I guess not, because that was fraudulent when you actually take it into account.

00:17:29.000 And they're calling for unity while impeaching someone who's not even in office.

00:17:35.000 These people don't want unity.

00:17:37.000 Don't find common ground on a lie.

00:17:40.000 Fight like hell.

00:17:41.000 Fight like hell by posting on social media the dishonesty here.

00:17:44.000 Fight like hell by posting everywhere you can the voting irregularities that are verifiable, not conspiracies.

00:17:49.000 Make sure you do your due diligence.

00:17:51.000 Fight like hell in doing your due diligence and getting that information out there.

00:17:54.000 And if it gets removed, fight like hell in exploring your legal options.

00:17:57.000 And then if those are exhausted and they say they're not going to let you back on, fight like hell and claim that you're gay or do a 23andMe, find some ethnicity in you, and declare it a hate crime.

00:18:05.000 Fight like hell to make sure that these people feel that they at least have some eyeballs on them going into the next election.

00:18:12.000 I know a lot of people want to say, what happens in this country if your vote didn't matter here and they do this forevermore?

00:18:17.000 Listen, there are ways to correct.

00:18:20.000 If they could change the law right before the election in unconstitutional ways, which were ruled in some courts, by the way, like Pennsylvania, change it to mass voting.

00:18:28.000 without any kind of standards in some states. Change it to the day of the

00:18:31.000 election, the deadlines. If they can change those within the week of the election,

00:18:34.000 your voice can hold these people accountable if you fight like hell.

00:18:41.000 Doesn't mean that I want you to blow anything up, okay? If that is considered, well then I guess

00:18:46.000 color me violent by saying fight like hell with your words and information and making sure that 0.81

00:18:51.000 you do your due diligence. 0.77

00:18:53.000 This is absurd.

00:18:54.000 And here's the thing, too.

00:18:55.000 You can tell me, Bill, if I'm right about this.

00:18:57.000 If it goes to a criminal court, if it's no longer an impeachment, then it's even more of a First Amendment issue.

00:19:02.000 So you definitely would involve First Amendment issues when you come to what was said, how it was said, what was the intent behind saying it.

00:19:08.000 But without a question, you don't even get that far because of the procedural hurdles.

00:19:12.000 Regularly, you have prosecutorial discretion where the prosecutors go, huh, do we want to waste taxpayer money on actually prosecuting a case that we don't think actually has a chance of moving forward?

00:19:21.000 Because these prosecutors aren't usually there just for, the average prosecutor is not there for just media stunts.

00:19:28.000 You mispronounced unity.

00:19:28.000 I'm sorry.

00:19:29.000 I mean hate and division.

00:19:30.000 Unity.

00:19:30.000 our dollars burn for the next three days in a process that every single article

00:19:34.000 left and right admits is unlikely to result in any kind of conviction except

00:19:38.000 just more fighting over the same thing. So you mispronounced unity. I'm sorry I

00:19:43.000 mean hate and division. Unity. And I love you know they could be doing better

00:19:48.000 things with their time and a number of people have brought up this argument and

00:19:51.000 I have seen so many... Figuratively they could. Sort of.

00:19:53.000 But keep in mind they're politicians so they don't know how.

00:19:55.000 That's difficult, and a number of Democrats have been like, well look, we can walk and chew gum at the same time, and I'm like, no.

00:20:00.000 No you cannot.

00:20:01.000 History has proven that you can do neither one of those things.

00:20:04.000 Period.

00:20:05.000 Not much less at the same time.

00:20:06.000 I've never seen you be able to do it, yeah.

00:20:07.000 You guys have COVID that you think is just ravaging the world in ways that we've never seen before, even though that's not completely accurate.

00:20:13.000 I understand it.

00:20:14.000 It's a big problem that we have to deal with.

00:20:15.000 You just spent $2 trillion, most of which was unnecessary to help for COVID, and you have a game plan of sending it— Hey, my people in China needed that money, okay?

00:20:22.000 Yeah, well, they did, yes.

00:20:23.000 All right, thank you.

00:20:24.000 And your game plan is having Joe Biden— Those labs aren't going to build themselves.

00:20:27.000 Joe Biden signed executive orders.

00:20:29.000 Hopefully he knows what's in them.

00:20:31.000 That can't be your game plan going forward.

00:20:32.000 You actually have to get to work.

00:20:33.000 And until you move on from Donald Trump, you can't.

00:20:35.000 Final point on this.

00:20:36.000 What do you think would be the worst?

00:20:38.000 Like for Donald Trump, what is the worst thing to happen to him?

00:20:41.000 Can we hold on?

00:20:42.000 I want to go to them really quick because I know you guys tuned in for this, but of course we're furious.

00:20:45.000 And so right now it got the better of me.

00:20:47.000 I need to calm down a little bit.

00:20:48.000 Had too much coffee.

00:20:49.000 My heart probably doesn't thank me.

00:20:51.000 Let's hear what they're saying.

00:20:52.000 And then let's ask that question again.

00:20:56.000 If you wish.

00:20:56.000 Mr. Raskin, you're recognized.

00:20:59.000 Is this Raskin?

00:21:05.000 Raskin.

00:21:07.000 Thank you very much, Mr. President.

00:21:09.000 Distinguished members of the Senate.

00:21:11.000 Good afternoon.

00:21:13.000 My name is Jamie Raskin.

00:21:14.000 It's my honor to represent the people of Maryland's 8th Congressional District in the House and also to serve as the lead House manager.

00:21:22.000 And Mr. President, we will indeed reserve time for rebuttal.

00:21:25.000 Thank you.

00:21:27.000 Because I've been a professor of constitutional law for three decades, I know there are a lot of people who are dreading endless lectures about the Federalist Papers here.

00:21:36.000 Please breathe easy, okay?

00:21:38.000 I remember well W.H.

00:21:40.000 Auden's line that a professor is someone who speaks while other people are sleeping.

00:21:45.000 You will not be hearing extended lectures from me because our case is based on cold, hard facts.

00:21:55.000 It's all about the facts.

00:22:00.000 No, it's not.

00:22:02.000 Hey, can you bring up Raskin?

00:22:05.000 This guy, bring up his craziest Russia tweets.

00:22:08.000 So keep in mind, this guy right now didn't learn his lesson.

00:22:10.000 There you go.

00:22:11.000 Look, talking about perjury.

00:22:13.000 Why is there no accountability for him when he accuses someone of perjury?

00:22:16.000 Why is there no accountability for him when he charges people of serious crimes, of federal crimes?

00:22:21.000 He's back here doing the same thing.

00:22:23.000 This is the problem.

00:22:24.000 You want to know what the problem is with Washington, D.C.?

00:22:26.000 There's no accountability for this guy.

00:22:28.000 He can commit crimes and he doesn't feel that he's accountable.

00:22:30.000 He doesn't feel that there's anyone looking over his shoulder.

00:22:31.000 For the same reason they feel that they can prosecute a private citizen at this point.

00:22:35.000 It's all politics.

00:22:37.000 The law doesn't apply to them. 1.00

00:22:39.000 And he looks like a dick. 0.99

00:22:42.000 I don't think he actually knows what a fact is. 0.99

00:22:44.000 I don't think he knows what hair transplants are.

00:22:47.000 I don't know why he's looking like little John from Robin Hood.

00:22:50.000 He doesn't need to.

00:22:51.000 He has the money.

00:22:51.000 our money. All that damn comb over action. The framers of the Constitution rejected a

00:23:00.000 Okay, what else do we have?

00:23:01.000 He does.

00:23:02.000 Alright, I'm getting back to the law books.

00:23:03.000 Reunite these twins.

00:23:04.000 I'll be back with questions.

00:23:05.000 Sorry, sorry, but Gerald asked you what the worst thing would be to happen to Donald Trump.

00:23:08.000 So, and it's almost a rhetorical question.

00:23:10.000 It's not being impeached again.

00:23:11.000 It's for people to stop paying attention to him.

00:23:14.000 He craves attention and so if the Democrats really wanted to piss him off, they would

00:23:19.000 And stop talking about it.

00:23:21.000 This is going to be another opportunity to rehash the same battles.

00:23:24.000 If it really was about moving on, they would actually just move on.

00:23:29.000 But it's not.

00:23:29.000 It's about political points.

00:23:31.000 It's about making a theater.

00:23:32.000 Presentation, Broadway, win a Tony Award for what happens over the next two or three days.

00:23:38.000 And instead, the country could have been focused on doing other things.

00:23:41.000 Whether or not politicians could actually solve anything.

00:23:44.000 But truly, this is what it's come down to.

00:23:46.000 It's feeding the news cycle with more and more of this show instead of actually just getting back to it.

00:23:51.000 And hey, I actually, this is why I'm excited about the next couple of days because you can't hide how much it is just a show when you actually go through it.

00:23:59.000 Because I almost imagine that The Democrats kind of want to lose today on the constitutional question, because then they can say, well, we never even got to the merits of the impeachment.

00:24:08.000 He would have been impeached if we had gotten there.

00:24:10.000 But, you know, that pesky Constitution always getting in the way of actually being a real American.

00:24:16.000 That sounds kind of like where conservatives were with a lot of the voting regularities, only the difference is they actually wanted to present evidence.

00:24:21.000 Exactly.

00:24:22.000 Hey, if we could have gotten to the phase of actually admitting evidence like, here's

00:24:25.000 several thousand voters who don't live in the state, here's a dead guy, here's a death

00:24:30.000 certificate and conservatives, Republicans complained it was never admitted into court.

00:24:34.000 In this case, they want to be able to claim, ah yeah, but we couldn't move forward because

00:24:38.000 of the Constitution, but we would have.

00:24:41.000 You know what we're going to hear if they lose on the constitutional question is, well,

00:24:46.000 we got to just get rid of this thing.

00:24:48.000 It's a living document.

00:24:49.000 I was hoping you were gonna say the sound of self-induced tense twine as their legs dangled from themselves.

00:24:56.000 Themselves.

00:24:57.000 Not someone else.

00:24:58.000 Themselves.

00:24:59.000 They could do the world a favor by just removing themselves from office.

00:25:03.000 By any means necessary.

00:25:05.000 Resigning.

00:25:06.000 Yes.

00:25:07.000 Resigning and going over the Rainbow Bridge.

00:25:11.000 Is this Mario Kart?

00:25:12.000 No.

00:25:12.000 All right, bye, half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman.

00:25:16.000 Let's bring back, which one are we bringing?

00:25:20.000 I love that thing.

00:25:21.000 Are you Kevin or Keith?

00:25:22.000 Kevin.

00:25:22.000 Do you just mess with people and just tell them the wrong name like you did to us the other day?

00:25:26.000 Appreciate that.

00:25:26.000 All right, the hashtag is, of course, Crowder Impeachment Trial.

00:25:43.000 Oh, let's watch this now.

00:25:44.000 now. They're showing videos in the Capitol steps.

00:25:51.000 I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not

00:25:58.000 going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to

00:26:05.000 You're off the screen!

00:26:08.000 Hey, can they write that on CNN?

00:26:13.000 That's hate speech.

00:26:14.000 It is.

00:26:15.000 They didn't even put a star in there.

00:26:16.000 Maybe I can get Half-Asian Bill to sue CNN.

00:26:19.000 CNN.

00:26:20.000 Can you be a little more volume, guys? 1.00

00:26:24.000 I think we can all agree these people are idiots. 1.00

00:26:33.000 In that case. 1.00

00:26:33.000 When their attempt, they showed up, and their attempt to get in was effectively the wolf in the piggy's house built out of straw. 1.00

00:26:41.000 Let me in!

00:26:43.000 They just start blowing.

00:26:46.000 It's not working!

00:26:46.000 Daryl, what the hell are you doing?

00:26:48.000 I read this in a movie once! 0.98

00:26:50.000 You read a movie?

00:26:52.000 I don't know, I've been on some message boards.

00:26:54.000 You're like, it's a double standard they're showing.

00:26:56.000 Everybody knows what happened at the Capitol building, but they failed to show all these riots and they aired it on television like they're airing this.

00:27:03.000 Yeah.

00:27:04.000 Well, they aired it and they said it was mostly peaceful and then they were like, ignore this flaming Datsun behind me. 0.68

00:27:09.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:10.000 Well, the Dotson kind of deserved it.

00:27:12.000 Outlived its usefulness a little bit.

00:27:13.000 How are you attacking the police?

00:27:15.000 You got a thin blue line flag.

00:27:18.000 You know what they just did right there?

00:27:20.000 President Donald Trump ends his speech.

00:27:22.000 The last part's bullcrap because he never urged violence.

00:27:23.000 No, he hadn't ended his speech.

00:27:24.000 No, no, no.

00:27:25.000 What I'm saying is they just showed that the protesters had started rioting prior to him ending his speech.

00:27:32.000 Yeah.

00:27:32.000 He was in the middle of his speech and he didn't say anybody go there and do anything violent.

00:27:36.000 He said, peacefully and patriotically, let your voices be heard.

00:27:40.000 Hmm.

00:27:42.000 Interesting.

00:27:42.000 Where is that exact timeline given in the thing here?

00:27:44.000 Because this thing is just all kind of disorganized.

00:27:46.000 We have the exact timeline of when his speech ended and when they made it there.

00:27:50.000 This is crazy. 1.00

00:27:53.000 Freaking idiots. 1.00

00:27:54.000 Got that on page 5. 1.00

00:27:56.000 Sorry folks, obviously we're scrambling a little bit here.

00:27:59.000 Oh no, Rachel Levine.

00:28:00.000 It's Mitch McConnell.

00:28:02.000 You don't like Ms. 1.00

00:28:03.000 D. Mitch McConnell or Rachel Levine?

00:28:06.000 The answer to both is no.

00:28:08.000 Trick question.

00:28:11.000 Trick question! 1.00

00:28:12.000 They're both dicks and they both have them. 1.00

00:28:14.000 You need the timeline is what you're saying? 0.99

00:28:16.000 That is not the timeline.

00:28:17.000 I'm looking for the timeline on when he started his speech and when they invaded the Capitol.

00:28:23.000 Gibbon, we're supposed to have a table of contents here.

00:28:25.000 Was it 1.10 and then they were there, his speech ended at 1.11?

00:28:29.000 They started the siege a minute before he ended his speech?

00:28:33.000 It looks like it.

00:28:34.000 CNN was even making that.

00:28:35.000 This is actually a great video.

00:28:38.000 Alright, let's bring this up while I look for this to make sure I have it right.

00:28:42.000 Massive scale.

00:28:44.000 It would have tipped the entire election.

00:28:51.000 Trump's mob.

00:28:52.000 Trump's mob!

00:28:56.000 Bad t-shirts.

00:28:57.000 Well, he's just a bunch of people in spats with fedoras.

00:28:59.000 They're calling the sign revolt. Thank you so much, Gal.

00:29:09.000 Oh, my God.

00:29:11.000 Yeah, it was 110. 0.94

00:29:12.000 What the hell is this old man doing?

00:29:14.000 What's he doing with that rope?

00:29:16.000 Let's say that Donald Trump, by the way, he explicitly called for supporters to be, you know, peaceful, right?

00:29:20.000 To let their voices be heard peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard.

00:29:24.000 I see the confusion because the left hears patriotically and they hear not silly.

00:29:28.000 Violent is what they hear.

00:29:30.000 That's their patriotism.

00:29:31.000 But let's assume that he called for violence.

00:29:33.000 Let's assume that.

00:29:34.000 He didn't!

00:29:34.000 Let's assume it.

00:29:37.000 1.10pm they began.

00:29:38.000 This is when they started grappling with the Capitol Police.

00:29:41.000 1.8 miles away.

00:29:42.000 We can bring this up with Google Maps.

00:29:43.000 Trump's speech ended at 1.11pm.

00:29:47.000 And the FBI affidavits, right?

00:29:49.000 The left loves them when they're convenient for themselves.

00:29:51.000 Of course.

00:29:51.000 They said that this was planned long before Donald Trump's speech.

00:29:55.000 And so what do they do?

00:29:56.000 That's why we go to these sources that come from like Ted Lieu's op-ed in the Washington Post saying Donald Trump, long before the Capitol, was inciting violence by saying that there were voting irregularities.

00:30:07.000 This is what's so scary about this.

00:30:08.000 If this were actually in a criminal court.

00:30:09.000 It's not.

00:30:10.000 It's an impeachment sham. 0.99

00:30:11.000 If someone could actually be tried criminally or civilly for inciting violence simply for questioning election results, Al Gore would still be somebody's bitch in prison. 0.99

00:30:21.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:30:22.000 And do you remember when Chuck Schumer was on the steps of the Supreme Court?

00:30:25.000 He'd be Alcatraz's everlasting gobstopper.

00:30:30.000 On the Supreme Court, when Chuck Schumer said, you have no idea what kind of whirlwind you're bringing.

00:30:35.000 Talking to the Supreme Court justices, to a group of people right there, saying that if you don't vote our way, essentially, you have no idea what you're calling down on yourselves.

00:30:45.000 Let's just assume, okay, fine, if you think that that is inciting violence, let's bring that up.

00:30:49.000 What about the people who invaded the Wisconsin capitol, the teachers unions that invaded that building, and sat in the building for days?

00:30:56.000 Nope, nope, same thing.

00:30:57.000 Not at all.

00:30:57.000 Maxine Waters, none of that.

00:30:59.000 Nancy Pelosi, nope. 1.00

00:31:00.000 What about Bernie Sanders, the guy who went after Scalise?

00:31:04.000 I don't think this... I mean, this is kind of off subject, but I think that guy had my shirt on.

00:31:11.000 That's not something you want to point out.

00:31:14.000 There's no such thing as bad publicity.

00:31:18.000 That would qualify.

00:31:20.000 A marketing team sent us this picture.

00:31:22.000 The dude was in the Capitol building.

00:31:23.000 You could see the H. Are you serious?

00:31:25.000 Yeah, it's like three pictures.

00:31:26.000 Yeah, and it didn't help that as he punched out a copy, the turn of the camera went... Alright, let's watch this a little more.

00:31:35.000 They're trying to build up some drama here because they want you to associate all of this with Donald Trump

00:31:39.000 Despite the fact that his speech was still going on Okay 1.00

00:31:44.000 What a bunch of idiots Yeah. 1.00

00:31:52.000 It's not going to change anything. 1.00

00:31:53.000 What you're doing, it's not going to change anything.

00:31:55.000 And it's not how we do things.

00:31:57.000 Yeah.

00:31:57.000 At all.

00:31:59.000 Look, I understand the frustration.

00:32:01.000 Look, he's got my hat on!

00:32:02.000 Can you rewind that?

00:32:03.000 No.

00:32:04.000 Can't rewind it.

00:32:04.000 It's right there!

00:32:05.000 We can't rewind it, and we don't want to, but congratulations.

00:32:08.000 That's pretty cool.

00:32:08.000 Again.

00:32:09.000 That's a pretty good job, yeah.

00:32:10.000 Yeah.

00:32:10.000 Fight like hell.

00:32:11.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:32:13.000 Not at all.

00:32:16.000 I mean, that's why I didn't go to this event.

00:32:17.000 Because you're not a criminal?

00:32:19.000 Yeah.

00:32:20.000 Because it only takes one bad apple to spoil the whole bunch.

00:32:24.000 And it's also, by the way, the same reason that people used to ask me, like, why don't you show up at these, what's the name of the Charlie Kirk?

00:32:31.000 Like, Turning Point, stuff like that.

00:32:32.000 Why don't you show up?

00:32:33.000 And I said, because I don't want anyone to be accountable for the crazy stuff I say, and I don't want to be held accountable for something someone else says.

00:32:39.000 Notice I don't really do a whole lot of publicity outside of what we manage and control.

00:32:43.000 There's no reason to anymore, but this is the problem with a mob mentality.

00:32:46.000 Look, I understand the frustration of people seeing their politicians, their elected officials, betraying them.

00:32:52.000 I understand that, and I think that it, and I'm not, and I'm condemning the violence, of course.

00:32:58.000 But when you compare it to two billion dollars worth of damages and countless people, not countless, dozens of people dead, hundreds of officer casualties in the summer, and that was just aimed at some general systemic racism, so we're going to burn down local businesses, it's much more understandable the train of thought if people are mad at their elected officials to direct their ire toward elected officials.

00:33:20.000 This is the wrong way to do it, of course, Neither scenario would warrant this kind of violence, and it's stupid, but you can understand that if you're going to voice your opinion, and march, and protest, and you know, even a Molotov cocktail or two, where I'm just saying we're using a low standard here because of the Black Lives Matter protest, don't do it to the local Walgreens, don't do it to the local theater. 0.94

00:33:39.000 Dude, it's crazy. 0.98

00:33:39.000 He's got guns drawn. 0.98

00:33:41.000 That's when that lady got shot up there.

00:33:43.000 Actually, Babbit is.

00:33:44.000 And that's terrible.

00:33:44.000 That's horrible.

00:33:45.000 Absolutely. 0.96

00:33:45.000 Yeah, what the hell? 0.96

00:33:47.000 She was just standing there. 0.98

00:33:48.000 I know.

00:33:52.000 That's why I don't get no one's talking about it.

00:33:54.000 She was just standing there.

00:33:55.000 Well, she was standing beside the dude trying to break in.

00:33:58.000 Right.

00:33:59.000 The bullet was missing.

00:34:00.000 Now, here's the thing.

00:34:00.000 They're going to show you this, and then in the, if you read the brief, it says, and then we heard that Donald Trump was positively delighted by the chaos.

00:34:08.000 There's no way he could have seen any of this, by the way.

00:34:10.000 He was still giving his speech, and even when he came off the stage, if they said, hey, I don't know if you heard this, there are people who have tried to breach the Capitol building, they would have whisked him away, and he would have been taken to a secure location.

00:34:22.000 There's no way anyone could know that Donald Trump was delighted by this, and there's no way that that actually could have happened, and that's in the brief.

00:34:30.000 Thanks, Ted Lieu.

00:34:31.000 Thanks for... How do you pronounce it?

00:34:33.000 Is the I silent?

00:34:33.000 Lieu?

00:34:34.000 Damn, he took his down. 0.99

00:34:37.000 It's funny, the whole case against the president is all disinformation. 0.99

00:34:40.000 No one's fact-checked.

00:34:41.000 It's like the fact-checkers only go against the conservatives to throttle down their reach.

00:34:45.000 Because all the evidence they presented is basically opinions.

00:34:48.000 Yeah, well we, by the way, and I know some people are mad that we didn't do the Nevada stream because, you know, my heart, but we actually have an intern right now still going down to all those addresses to verify them because we have, I mean, hundreds of addresses.

00:34:59.000 Addresses that don't exist.

00:35:00.000 People who voted and empty lots.

00:35:02.000 And I was even told by my half-Asian lawyer, he said, well, you still can't claim that unless you personally go.

00:35:07.000 I'm like, look, I've confirmed it to the voter rolls. I've confirmed it through Google Earth.

00:35:10.000 And he goes, so he said, okay, we're gonna send an intern on it.

00:35:13.000 So he has a few hours, we'll pay for his gas and he'll be taking pictures of himself with today's paper.

00:35:17.000 And then we still might go and do it. But you know what? No evidence. That's never been admitted.

00:35:17.000 Nice!

00:35:21.000 None.

00:35:22.000 Man, this is crazy.

00:35:22.000 None.

00:35:23.000 This is absolutely crazy.

00:35:25.000 But it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.

00:35:27.000 That doesn't look like peacefully and patriotically. 0.98

00:35:29.000 It looks like retardedly. 1.00

00:35:32.000 For them to continue to show this, it has nothing to do with the president.

00:35:35.000 Well, but this is the MO for the media and for them.

00:35:38.000 Over two hours after insurgents breached their Capitol, President Trump tweets a video.

00:35:38.000 Okay, here you go.

00:35:44.000 Take it away from all of us.

00:35:45.000 From me, from you, from our country.

00:35:48.000 This was a fraudulent election.

00:35:51.000 But we can't play into the hands of these people.

00:35:55.000 We have to have peace.

00:35:58.000 So go home, we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens, you see the way others... So are they going to try and twist it that he said we love you, means he loves violence, when he said we need peace?

00:36:09.000 He's obviously saying we love you to the people who are there, who are protesting, not to people who are being violent.

00:36:15.000 Correct.

00:36:15.000 This is something that matters when he says there has to be peace.

00:36:20.000 He's been very clear throughout all of this.

00:36:22.000 He's not saying, he condemned the actions of violence.

00:36:25.000 That's the perfect Christian example. 1.00

00:36:26.000 Condemn the action of violence and then tell the people, who aren't committing violence, which by the way was the vast majority of people in DC, that we love you, go home.

00:36:34.000 You think that those people are more likely to go home?

00:36:37.000 How do you think this works with a hostage negotiation? 1.00

00:36:39.000 Do you think if he goes down and he goes, you piece of shit, I'm going to bring in the squad team, they're going to come out shooting. 1.00

00:36:44.000 No, you want to keep the hostages alive. 1.00

00:36:46.000 What do you want, man?

00:36:47.000 I understand.

00:36:49.000 Please be peaceful.

00:36:50.000 We love you.

00:36:51.000 Go home.

00:36:52.000 What do you think he should have said? 0.96

00:36:53.000 We're going to hang all of you for trees in the moment you're out of there, so you better make it count.

00:36:58.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:37:00.000 No, he said the right thing.

00:37:02.000 Including AOC who was nowhere near there.

00:37:12.000 Yeah.

00:37:12.000 She was learning how to mime.

00:37:16.000 I was up against the wall, and then I saw a great ship!

00:37:22.000 Okay, here's our source.

00:37:24.000 These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremonious and viciously stripped away from the patriots who are going to go home with love and peace.

00:37:30.000 Remember this day forever.

00:37:31.000 So look, is someone not allowed to say that this was an election with irregularities while simultaneously calling for peace?

00:37:40.000 What did Al Gore do?

00:37:41.000 Keep in mind, Al Gore only wanted a recount in three counties because he knew that he would lose if they recanted the whole state.

00:37:47.000 They made documentaries about that for years.

00:37:50.000 Keep in mind that all of these people, right?

00:37:53.000 This guy right here, Raskin, accused Donald Trump of colluding with Russia.

00:37:57.000 They said the 2016 election was stolen.

00:38:01.000 And that was verifiably false.

00:38:03.000 And these people aren't held accountable.

00:38:05.000 Right, so they don't believe that.

00:38:07.000 If they're going to hold themselves to their own standard, they said the election was stolen, and they don't consider that a call to violence.

00:38:14.000 How much money do you spend for that?

00:38:16.000 The Russian collusion?

00:38:16.000 I don't know.

00:38:17.000 How many?

00:38:18.000 Hundreds of millions, I would assume.

00:38:19.000 Yeah, a lot.

00:38:20.000 I would assume, I mean, can we have at least, what, $20 million to investigate?

00:38:25.000 Alex just 20 million. 10 days that's all they had. 10 days to take a look.

00:38:29.000 Billy Negro. 0.94

00:38:31.000 And we're banned again.

00:38:33.000 That's all it took. I'm a little confused though. I thought Raskin was supposed to be making the case for the

00:38:38.000 impeachment of Donald Trump because everything that he just showed me go home in peace, get out of here.

00:38:42.000 How many times does he have to say that?

00:38:44.000 I understand that you're mad but go home. That actually makes a case to not.

00:38:47.000 Let's hear what he's saying right now to try and color the video.

00:38:50.000 Every historian will tell you that. We just saw it in the most astonishing way.

00:38:56.000 We lived through it.

00:38:57.000 And you know what?

00:38:58.000 The framers of our Constitution knew it.

00:39:01.000 That's why they created a Constitution with an oath written into it that binds the President from his very first day in office until his very last day in office and every day in between.

00:39:16.000 Under that Constitution, and under that oath, The President of the United States is forbidden to commit high crimes and misdemeanors against the people at any point that he's in office.

00:39:30.000 What high crime or misdemeanor did he commit?

00:39:32.000 Correct.

00:39:32.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:39:33.000 You committed a high crime and misdemeanor by accusing him of colluding with Russia!

00:39:38.000 And your party was colluding with Russia!

00:39:40.000 You know it!

00:39:41.000 The Steele dossier!

00:39:42.000 We know it now!

00:39:43.000 We know it now! 0.75

00:39:44.000 You are more guilty of that crime than Donald Trump!

00:39:49.000 With the rule of mobs, These powers must apply even if the President commits his offenses in his final weeks in office.

00:39:59.000 In fact, that's precisely when we need them the most, because that's when elections get attacked.

00:40:08.000 Everything that we know about the language of the Constitution, the Framers' original understanding and intent, prior Senate practice, and common sense confirms this rule.

00:40:21.000 Let's start with the text of the Constitution.

00:40:24.000 Yes, Les.

00:40:26.000 Which in Article 1, Section 2, gives the House the sole power of impeachment when the President commits high crimes and misdemeanors.

00:40:35.000 We exercised that power on January 13th.

00:40:36.000 Which are?

00:40:38.000 Give us an example.

00:40:38.000 The President, it is undisputed, committed his offense while he was President.

00:40:44.000 And it is undisputed that we impeached him while he was President.

00:40:49.000 There can be no doubt that this is a valid and legitimate impeachment.

00:40:53.000 Congress has no jurisdiction over private citizens, but they're claiming that they impeached him before he left office.

00:40:58.000 Okay, so they triggered it.

00:40:59.000 The Senate is supposed to try it. 0.98

00:41:01.000 Right.

00:41:01.000 Why is there no Chief Justice Roberts, by the way?

00:41:03.000 Why is Patrick Leahy going to be witness, juror, and judge?

00:41:12.000 It's everything that Donald Trump said was true, saying the system is rigged?

00:41:16.000 Well listen, I don't know that I can say this, but what more clear of an example could you see of a rigged system outside of one man being the shitty trinity of being witness, juror, and judge? 0.67

00:41:31.000 Judge Dredd.

00:41:32.000 He's getting triple pay for his roles.

00:41:34.000 Guilty.

00:41:34.000 There's no due process, by the way, for an impeachment of a private citizen.

00:41:37.000 That's important to know.

00:41:38.000 Congress is acting right here.

00:41:39.000 They're acting as judge and jury, and they do not have the legal authority to do so.

00:41:42.000 Here's something that's really important.

00:41:43.000 Constitution, they won't talk about this.

00:41:45.000 Article 2, Section 4.

00:41:46.000 That it clearly states impeachment is for the removal from office.

00:41:50.000 The president shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

00:41:58.000 The party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment trial law if a president is convicted and removed.

00:42:05.000 Not either or. 0.98

00:42:07.000 Meaning you cannot convict without removal because they didn't expect shit this crazy. 0.97

00:42:13.000 You think the founding fathers would have stood for this? 0.99

00:42:16.000 They were throwing people overboard for taxing their breakfast drink!

00:42:22.000 What?

00:42:23.000 Overboard you go!

00:42:24.000 And again, there's also the intent of the law.

00:42:26.000 There's no purpose to remove a sitting president outside of a criminal conviction.

00:42:33.000 They didn't remove a president.

00:42:34.000 And now they're trying to impeach a private citizen.

00:42:36.000 And then saying that you should unify.

00:42:38.000 What unity means is obey, is kneel.

00:42:41.000 And I don't know if you could tell, but I'm not gonna.

00:42:44.000 I don't think this is going to change your view on that.

00:42:46.000 By the way, so if they really wanted to, they could bring criminal charges.

00:42:49.000 We talked about that.

00:42:49.000 They're not going to do that.

00:42:50.000 So really what this comes down to is the show, right?

00:42:52.000 Because this is valuable for their supporters and campaign ads and things like that.

00:42:57.000 But it also comes down to them being afraid that in 2024, Donald Trump will come back.

00:43:02.000 The specter of Donald Trump will return.

00:43:04.000 This is hanging over their heads like he's some Voldemort in the background waiting to return and reclaim his throne.

00:43:09.000 And this is the way to prevent them.

00:43:11.000 But I asked Stephen before this, I don't know, I haven't found anything on this but I'd love it if somebody had something or we'll do some more research.

00:43:17.000 Is there a time frame with which you have to exercise impeachment?

00:43:21.000 So let's say that Donald Trump did this and he was guilty of this.

00:43:24.000 Could they wait until he runs again, wins re-election, and is put in office to then impeach him for this action?

00:43:30.000 Is there some sort of statute of limitations on that?

00:43:33.000 That's the question that I don't know, but if that was the case... What, do you mean legally, or do you mean for Democrats in 2020?

00:43:37.000 No, no, no, no, no, because law doesn't really matter here.

00:43:39.000 This is all about feelings, apparently.

00:43:40.000 They can do whatever they want.

00:43:41.000 They can do whatever they want.

00:43:42.000 They can just impeach him at that point, so why not wait?

00:43:44.000 They can accuse you of inciting a violent riot that started a minute before you finished speaking.

00:43:49.000 Absolutely, but so listen... It's a beautiful country.

00:43:52.000 Follow my logic. 1.00

00:43:52.000 It's like the tenet of bullshit. 1.00

00:43:54.000 It's like these people watched a Christopher Nolan film on acid, got inspired, and said, we can do that. 0.99

00:44:02.000 So if you were 100% sure that he's guilty and that you would be able to convict him in the Senate and impeach him, why would you not hold that in your back pocket until he potentially won again?

00:44:13.000 That would be your silver bullet against Donald Trump forever, to keep him from ever running for office again because the minute he won, you would just impeach him.

00:44:20.000 Speaking of which, this guy could use a little bit of Wolfman hair growth on his chromedome there.

00:44:25.000 I don't know what happened there.

00:44:27.000 There's a hair in a can.

00:44:30.000 It's a shame.

00:44:32.000 Don't we have a drinking game, isn't it?

00:44:33.000 Every time they say impeach, isn't that on the drinking game?

00:44:35.000 Oh, well we've said it a few times.

00:44:37.000 Isn't it?

00:44:37.000 They've been saying it like 50 times.

00:44:39.000 You guys have to take a drink.

00:44:39.000 I need a beer!

00:44:41.000 Thank God this is not alcohol.

00:44:42.000 Let's show the rules again here.

00:44:44.000 Vodka.

00:44:49.000 Oh, we don't have impeachment in there?

00:44:50.000 Well, it should be.

00:44:51.000 Insurrection, hate speech.

00:44:53.000 I don't think we wanted to do that to ourselves.

00:44:56.000 Alright, let me listen to him a little more.

00:44:57.000 What?

00:44:57.000 even confined impeachment only to officials who had already left office.

00:45:03.000 This confirms that removal was never seen as the exclusive purpose of impeachment in

00:45:08.000 America.

00:45:09.000 The goal was always about accountability, protecting society.

00:45:20.000 No!

00:45:20.000 By the way, what's the only thing they can do if they find him guilty?

00:45:22.000 The only thing they can do?

00:45:25.000 Remove him from office.

00:45:26.000 Right.

00:45:26.000 That's it.

00:45:26.000 Period.

00:45:27.000 That's it.

00:45:27.000 Done.

00:45:28.000 And then you would have to... The criminal courts would have to start from zero.

00:45:31.000 Right.

00:45:33.000 He thus emphasized that the President is even more accountable than officials in Delaware, where as I noted, the Constitution clearly allowed impeachment of former officials.

00:45:43.000 And nobody involved in the convention ever said that the framers meant to reject this widely accepted, deeply rooted understanding of the word impeachment.

00:45:54.000 Hey, what's your deep understanding, since we're going on the Constitution, of right to bear arms and shall not be infringed?

00:46:01.000 They're looking to ancillary documents to try and prove their case here, and they couldn't care less about the Constitution.

00:46:09.000 By the way, if you're putting this in the Constitution for former presidents... Oh, look at this.

00:46:16.000 This is their quote.

00:46:18.000 That doesn't mean that you can impeach him while he's out of office.

00:46:21.000 That just means they're concerned that a guy might run again.

00:46:23.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:25.000 You're showing your hand.

00:46:26.000 You're concerned.

00:46:28.000 You don't have any legal argument to impeach him.

00:46:31.000 Right now is the time for a criminal trial if you think that Donald Trump committed a crime because he's a private citizen.

00:46:36.000 Y'all actually think Trump's going to run again?

00:46:37.000 No.

00:46:38.000 I don't know.

00:46:39.000 I wouldn't.

00:46:39.000 I hope not.

00:46:40.000 He should be tired by now.

00:46:42.000 He should just go off and make a living.

00:46:43.000 Since the moment he got elected they've been going after him and his family.

00:46:46.000 It's gotta be exhausting on him and his family. 1.00

00:46:50.000 Can you imagine having to meet with these assholes every day? 1.00

00:46:53.000 Yeah, it's like... Suck your soul out of your body like a poddling in Dark Crystal. 1.00

00:46:58.000 I think that's why he was so in their faces, because he saw clearly what they were doing, and he hated it. 0.98

00:47:04.000 Not only coming after him, but the things that they do for, quote-unquote, the American people.

00:47:08.000 And he's like, you guys are worse than Wall Street!

00:47:10.000 I thought it was around the worst of them!

00:47:12.000 Let's impeach Jamie Raskin.

00:47:13.000 Let's do that.

00:47:14.000 Let's impeach Jamie Raskin for spending American taxpayer dollars on what turned out to be The Democrats colluding with the Russians.

00:47:21.000 How about that?

00:47:22.000 Falsely accusing the President.

00:47:24.000 Let me bring up for people who don't remember, just so I have this right exactly, the Russia thing.

00:47:30.000 Just for the timeline.

00:47:31.000 It's been a while.

00:47:32.000 So let me give you a timeline on Russia that this guy actually pushed.

00:47:36.000 Of course, Donald Trump was exonerated right in late 2019 over what they were alleging, remember, was the Ukrainian thing, trying to put pressure.

00:47:42.000 The House claimed when they impeached him, remember, this seems almost like deja vu, they had uncovered a month-long effort by President Trump to use the powers of his office to solicit foreign interference on his behalf in the 2020 election.

00:47:52.000 The truth is, after the trial, and there was a bipartisan report by the Senate Intelligence Committee, they found that there was nothing.

00:47:59.000 They found that the investigation into the Russian interference relied on disinformation from the Steele dossier.

00:48:06.000 Where did the Steele dossier come from?

00:48:08.000 Who worked with the Steele dossier?

00:48:10.000 This is the Democrats, by the way.

00:48:12.000 So really, they were actually... This is why it's more sinister than that.

00:48:15.000 What we found out about Russia was that they were accusing Donald Trump of doing what they were doing.

00:48:21.000 They were colluding with foreign entities to try and... Now, not just to steal an election, but to dig up dirt on Donald Trump, who was running at that point.

00:48:29.000 We know that, beyond any shadow of a doubt.

00:48:32.000 You think all of these Democrats didn't know that when they were going out there tweeting to the public?

00:48:35.000 I think that there should be an investigation into that.

00:48:38.000 Did you know about the corruption that occurred within your party in the relationship with Russian interference? 0.99

00:48:42.000 If you did, then I think you and your little monk's cap need to get your ass out of our representation. 1.00

00:48:47.000 It's crazy man, they actually accuse him of colluding with Russia while they actually colluded with Russia. 0.98

00:48:54.000 To get him on collusion with Russia charges, yeah.

00:48:57.000 And then in October, remember the declassified notes, this was from former CIA Director John Brennan.

00:49:02.000 It showed that the CIA was aware of Clinton's disinformation campaign.

00:49:05.000 Here's a quote.

00:49:06.000 So she accused him of colluding with foreign powers while she was doing it herself.

00:49:09.000 26th of July of a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump

00:49:15.000 by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian security services.

00:49:21.000 So she accused him of colluding with foreign powers while she was doing it herself.

00:49:26.000 She was at that point arguably the most powerful Democrat, you know, really in the United States 0.95

00:49:30.000 when running for president.

00:49:31.000 Absolutely.

00:49:32.000 And you mean to tell me that nobody else knew about it?

00:49:34.000 These same people had no idea?

00:49:36.000 Why don't we have an investigation into that?

00:49:38.000 Because guess what?

00:49:38.000 That is treason.

00:49:40.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:49:40.000 Trying to remove a president or keep somebody from being able to win the presidency.

00:49:44.000 Well, I guess it's not treason because he wasn't president yet.

00:49:46.000 Yeah, it's in the process. 0.98

00:49:47.000 Just kind of shitty. 0.92

00:49:49.000 Just take all the people that's been attacked for just wearing MAGA gear and you take Nance Pelosi, what's that lady like James Brown? 1.00

00:49:56.000 Maxine Waters.

00:50:20.000 Nobody would do that, right?

00:50:21.000 It's the same thing.

00:50:22.000 They're doing the same thing just like before.

00:50:24.000 They're putting him on trial for violence.

00:50:26.000 Let's hear from Joe Ngu, Joe Ngu, Joe, Joe no good at presenting arguments.

00:50:30.000 And that makes sense.

00:50:34.000 Because the text of the Constitution makes clear- It looks like he should be in an all-state commercial.

00:50:39.000 There is no January exception to the impeachment power. 0.99

00:50:42.000 Look at that damn tie he got on. 0.99

00:50:44.000 Nobody's asking for this, by the way. 1.00

00:50:45.000 Presidents can't commit grave offenses in their final days.

00:50:49.000 They're just like, trust us, we're- This is good.

00:50:51.000 We can do it.

00:50:52.000 I don't have anything.

00:50:53.000 It's a straw man.

00:50:55.000 That's not how our constitution works.

00:50:57.000 Well of course, don't surprise, he supported the first impeachment.

00:50:59.000 So he supported the first impeachment after he was just elected to Congress in 2018, when we knew better.

00:51:05.000 He was late to the game though, so he had to support it.

00:51:09.000 People talk about, look, I'm a conservative, I'm not a centrist, I don't think that we find common ground in the center if it's not honest, but this is just the Team Jersey Party politics here, where people look at it, there's Democrats line up, and then Republicans line up outside of Susan Collins and one other wiener or two, and nothing's going to happen.

00:51:25.000 This is political theater, it's a waste of American taxpayer dollars, and these people don't care about the Constitution.

00:51:30.000 Oh, we're going to William Bloom!

00:51:31.000 Let's hear what he has to say, because I'm ready for that one.

00:51:37.000 Ultimately, President Adams caught him.

00:51:40.000 He turned over the evidence to Congress.

00:51:43.000 Four days later, the House of Representatives impeached him.

00:51:48.000 A day after that, this body, the United States Senate, expelled him from office.

00:51:54.000 So he was very much a former official.

00:51:58.000 Despite that, the House went forward with its impeachment proceeding in order to disqualify him from ever again holding federal office.

00:52:05.000 And so the Senate No, the truth is he actually resigned mere hours before that.

00:52:11.000 And the Senate failed, of course, to achieve the two-thirds majority that they needed.

00:52:14.000 So again, nothing happened.

00:52:16.000 He resigned moments before they did it, and they didn't actually have the Senate get the majority.

00:52:19.000 So they're just, they're grasping at straws here. 0.97

00:52:22.000 If you were to go back then, you know, and find whoever was, you know, I assume it was a stenographer, something like a Flintstone, you know, like a pterodactyl with a pen who goes, this jab sucks! 0.93

00:52:31.000 Chiseling it down.

00:52:32.000 Back then, you had plenty of people going, you can't do this, guys.

00:52:35.000 You can't do this.

00:52:36.000 He resigned.

00:52:37.000 So it would be like people looking back now on this, right?

00:52:40.000 Let's say a hundred years from now, looking back on this when they try to impeach a private citizen then saying, well, they did it to Donald Trump.

00:52:47.000 Without the context of, no, no, no, no.

00:52:49.000 It was political theater.

00:52:50.000 The Democrats in Congress did it and the Senate didn't do anything.

00:52:53.000 Of course, right now we're all arguing about how it's unconstitutional.

00:52:56.000 They want to present to you as though it was unilaterally agreed upon in, I think it was 1878, when the fact is, he resigned first and there were all kinds of arguments being made against it.

00:53:06.000 That's why the Senate didn't convict.

00:53:09.000 We have a more recent example.

00:53:13.000 Nixon.

00:53:14.000 He resigned.

00:53:14.000 They didn't impeach.

00:53:17.000 Also different.

00:53:18.000 You should go into the details.

00:53:21.000 You should go into the details.

00:53:24.000 You really should.

00:53:25.000 The House discovered that he was involved in a massive kickback scheme.

00:53:32.000 Hours before the House committee that discovered this conduct released its report documenting

00:53:37.000 the scheme, Belknap literally rushed to the White House to resign, tender his resignation

00:53:42.000 to President Ulysses Grant to avoid any further inquiry into his misconduct.

00:53:47.000 And of course, to avoid being disqualified... I'm sorry, that's Osama. 1.00

00:53:50.000 I thought they were talking about Belknap before I came here.

00:53:52.000 They must have been talking about Blunt?

00:53:53.000 Blunt.

00:53:54.000 Okay.

00:53:54.000 They weren't talking about Belknap.

00:53:57.000 Oh, okay.

00:53:58.000 Thank you.

00:53:58.000 Okay, thank you very much.

00:54:00.000 Why are you here?

00:54:00.000 Okay.

00:54:01.000 Oh, geez.

00:54:01.000 That guy.

00:54:01.000 Okay, thank you very much.

00:54:03.000 Why are you here?

00:54:05.000 Um...

00:54:07.000 Okay. Oh, geez.

00:54:09.000 Belknap made the exact same argument That guy.

00:54:14.000 that President Trump is making today.

00:54:16.000 No, he didn't.

00:54:17.000 That you all lack jurisdiction, any power to try him because

00:54:21.000 he's a...

00:54:23.000 But why did two-thirds of Senators not vote to convict? 1.00

00:54:25.000 Dummy! 1.00

00:54:25.000 You dumb piece of shit! 1.00

00:54:26.000 when they heard that argument, literally they were sitting in the same chair as you all 1.00

00:54:31.000 are sitting in today. They were outraged by that argument.

00:54:34.000 Really? Hold on.

00:54:36.000 But why did two-thirds of senators not vote to convict? Dummy, you dumb piece of shit. 1.00

00:54:43.000 This would be like going back in time being like, and someone a hundred years from now 1.00

00:54:46.000 going, and there were, there was a Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, who was so outraged 1.00

00:54:53.000 at the crime committed, and people going like, wow, really?

00:54:55.000 Everyone was outraged?

00:54:57.000 No!

00:54:57.000 No, not everyone was outraged.

00:54:58.000 Just the crazy bitch with the blowout during COVID. 1.00

00:55:00.000 It wasn't everybody. 1.00

00:55:01.000 This is the problem.

00:55:03.000 As far as Blunt, by the way, there's no historical context as to why the Senate didn't convict.

00:55:07.000 Right now it's talking about Belknap.

00:55:08.000 The reason why is because of what we're talking about today.

00:55:10.000 Yeah, so Belknap, he went from like a 5,000 foot view, like let's get some details, and he went up to 30,000 feet and said, these are the same things.

00:55:18.000 No, they would be the same things if Donald Trump, the day that this happened, after telling people to go and riot at the Capitol and break in, resigned as president and left office trying to avoid being impeached.

00:55:31.000 He didn't do that.

00:55:32.000 He stayed there and said, ah, didn't do anything wrong, prove me wrong, and then went out of office like he said he would, peacefully, so we had a transition of power.

00:55:40.000 These are not the same things.

00:55:41.000 They're trying to equate them, but they're not the same.

00:55:44.000 Cherry picking.

00:55:46.000 It's lies!

00:55:48.000 It pisses me off because our institutions have to be about more than this.

00:55:51.000 If you're telling me that there's enough evidence to convict, but you're only going to be able to convince five or ten people on the other side of the aisle to vote for conviction, That's not a trial.

00:56:02.000 That's people voting for their guy.

00:56:05.000 Right now, this is abusing our system of government for political theater because they're upset that Donald Trump said our system of government is rigged for political theater.

00:56:16.000 Exactly.

00:56:16.000 He hated this very thing.

00:56:18.000 It's like he was saying, you can't trust what they say.

00:56:21.000 They lie for their own political gain.

00:56:23.000 They go, oh, what we need to do is lie about Bill Cabell now.

00:56:25.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:56:26.000 For our own political gain and make our case.

00:56:29.000 It'd be like going back in history and acting like Brett Kavanaugh was guilty.

00:56:39.000 They can yell until they're blue in the face. 0.96

00:56:41.000 Do black people get blue in the face when they yell? 1.00

00:56:42.000 No, purple. 0.99

00:56:44.000 He can yell until he's a slightly darker shade in the face. 0.94

00:56:47.000 And it doesn't change the fact there is no historical, there is no precedence here.

00:56:51.000 I'm sorry, I think that was a little racist.

00:56:54.000 You said purple.

00:56:56.000 I think that was racist.

00:56:57.000 For you to say it?

00:56:59.000 You didn't have enough of a pass.

00:57:04.000 You know what's sad?

00:57:04.000 Everything what y'all said is true, but people on the left, they believe every word that's coming out of his mouth.

00:57:10.000 Yeah.

00:57:10.000 Well, I mean, again, it's just there are people out there who hate Donald Trump so much that this is helping them think they're bringing unity to the country.

00:57:18.000 They already won the battles.

00:57:19.000 As long as they're getting to them emotionally, these people don't even think.

00:57:22.000 Yeah.

00:57:23.000 And I can't remember, Stephen, if you made this point or if Bill did, but this is actually backfiring against Democrats right now.

00:57:29.000 The only people that love this are the people that were already Democrat supporters through and through.

00:57:34.000 People in the middle, and even Republicans who are mad at Donald Trump, are looking at this and going, OK, you had me for a minute.

00:57:40.000 They say the majority of Americans support impeachment.

00:57:42.000 Really?

00:57:43.000 The same polling that told us Ohio was a toss-up? 1.00

00:57:46.000 Get out of here, you silly bitch! 1.00

00:57:48.000 I'm not sure we trust you wholly. 1.00

00:57:51.000 I was so convinced.

00:57:51.000 I was like, OK, these polls are totally wrong.

00:57:52.000 Remember that night?

00:57:54.000 I almost screamed at Ben Shapiro.

00:57:57.000 I was like, are you out of your mind?

00:57:59.000 I would be more surprised if he lost Ohio than if he lost Texas.

00:58:03.000 There's no way.

00:58:04.000 And people bought it.

00:58:06.000 People want to buy that most Americans want impeachment right now, but then they have the same poll that says most Americans want unity.

00:58:11.000 Well, which is it?

00:58:12.000 Which is it, State Farm guy?

00:58:14.000 Yeah, because this doesn't provide unity at all.

00:58:16.000 It doesn't help anybody.

00:58:18.000 If a crime was committed, a criminal trial and putting Donald Trump in prison for crimes he committed would maybe help people a little bit.

00:58:25.000 Maybe.

00:58:25.000 All right, let's listen to them a little bit.

00:58:27.000 Sorry guys.

00:58:28.000 He issued a public letter stating, our carefully considered views of the law lead all of us to agree that the Constitution permits the impeachment, conviction, and disqualification of former By the way, here's the bait-and-switch they just did, right?

00:58:42.000 They just showed you something from the Federalist Papers that didn't say that because they watched Hamilton a couple of times with their queer party friends, and now they show you something definitive that comes from a self-picked panel of people in 2021. 0.54

00:58:55.000 That's not a historical document.

00:58:57.000 No.

00:58:57.000 That's just like their sources here.

00:58:59.000 Ted Lieu's tweets, for crying out loud.

00:59:01.000 That's evidence to them.

00:59:04.000 He was confirmed by this body unanimously.

00:59:08.000 Senator Hatch, many of you served with, he had this to say about Judge McConnell.

00:59:13.000 That he's an honest man.

00:59:15.000 He calls it as he sees it.

00:59:16.000 And he's beholden to no one and no group.

00:59:19.000 Well, what does Judge McConnell have to say about that?

00:59:22.000 Did I just hear that... Did I just... Did I just hear that Mitch McConnell's an... Did they just say that Mitch McConnell's an honest man?

00:59:34.000 I think so. 1.00

00:59:35.000 Some bitch did it. 1.00

00:59:37.000 Neither one of you are ex-cons, right? 1.00

00:59:38.000 No.

00:59:38.000 So you're allowed to conceal carry?

00:59:40.000 Shoot me in the face! 1.00

00:59:42.000 Shoot me in the face! 1.00

00:59:43.000 Someone with compassion. 0.99

00:59:44.000 No one believes that Mitch McConnell is an honest man unless they're accidentally mistaking him for Rachel Levine and they're only saying it because they don't want to be accused of a hate crime.

00:59:54.000 No one thinks that Mitch McConnell is an honest man.

00:59:56.000 This is right now what Democrats do, right?

00:59:58.000 It's like what they did, they trot out, they effectively trot out the corpse of John McCain, who they accused of being a Nazi when he ran for office with Sarah Palin, and then when he dies they go, we need more Republicans like John McCain.

01:00:07.000 You said he was a Nazi!

01:00:09.000 Literally!

01:00:10.000 They made that joke in Family Guy where they had an alternate reality and Hitler has taken over the world and they have a McCain-Palin pin.

01:00:16.000 You accuse John McCain of being a Nazi and now you want us to be like, well, listen, if he says that Mitch McConnell agrees with him, there's some unity. 0.99

01:00:23.000 I guess, if you're just talking about a merry band of assholes. 1.00

01:00:27.000 Yeah, right. 0.99

01:00:27.000 By the way, this is in a court of law. 0.99

01:00:29.000 He basically said Mitch McConnell said this guy is trustworthy.

01:00:31.000 This guy said that Trump should be tried.

01:00:33.000 Okay, wait a minute.

01:00:35.000 I'm sorry.

01:00:35.000 Is that supposed to be again, Evans?

01:00:36.000 And here's a rap from Juan Manuel Raimundo.

01:00:39.000 We need to impeach.

01:00:40.000 Gotta impeach today. 1.00

01:00:41.000 What's gonna happen if I say he suck? 0.99

01:00:45.000 All right, let me see this. 0.99

01:00:46.000 He described it as a corrective measure that helped the system regain legitimacy.

01:00:52.000 He didn't resign.

01:00:53.000 The highlighted part.

01:00:53.000 He wrote another article.

01:00:54.000 He didn't resign.

01:00:54.000 He's written several on this topic.

01:00:56.000 This one was actually a 146-page study, very detailed.

01:01:00.000 And in that study, he said, quote, that the decision in Belknap was correct in its view that impeachment historically had extended to former officials, such as Warren Hastings, who you heard Lead Manager Raskin describe.

01:01:14.000 In fact, as you can see, Presser Turley argued that the House could have impeached and the Senate could have tried Richard Nixon after he resigned.

01:01:23.000 Why didn't they?

01:01:24.000 His quote on this, very telling.

01:01:26.000 No, no, no, not his quote.

01:01:26.000 Why didn't they?

01:01:28.000 Why didn't they?

01:01:31.000 This is like what Bernie Sanders does, right?

01:01:33.000 Bernie Sanders will take something where it's true.

01:01:35.000 There's some concrete truth to it.

01:01:37.000 He'll say, you know, student debt has gone up, right?

01:01:41.000 The ratio of income to student debt has gone up.

01:01:44.000 Okay.

01:01:45.000 And then he goes, therefore, we must follow the polls that show a majority of Americans want free college for all.

01:01:51.000 No, no, no.

01:01:52.000 A poll is not the same as a policy.

01:01:56.000 It's not the same as justification for a policy.

01:01:58.000 The fact that Mitch McConnell knows someone's best friend's boyfriend's cousin's girlfriend who saw this guy who knows that Donald Trump passed out of 31 flavors last night is not a legitimate form of evidence or an article for impeachment.

01:02:10.000 This is what they do.

01:02:11.000 They take some historical document, they take a highlight out of context, and then they add to it conjecture.

01:02:18.000 That's what we've seen every single time.

01:02:20.000 Please, I encourage you, the most effective thing you can do to know that this is a sham is go to ladderwithcreditor.com.

01:02:25.000 We have the PDF there of their entire, what is it, 80-85 page brief?

01:02:29.000 Yeah.

01:02:31.000 Go read the sources.

01:02:32.000 Link in the documents below.

01:02:35.000 Look, I just opened it up to random, the source for their evidence here.

01:02:38.000 Source 31, Michael Schmidt, bar hands prosecutors the authority to investigate voter fraud claims.

01:02:44.000 This is a guy who recently published a book titled Donald Trump versus the United States.

01:02:49.000 Inside a struggle to stop a president.

01:02:52.000 So this is one of the sources that they use right there.

01:02:54.000 You just look, and it's buried in the sources.

01:02:56.000 And you don't know, because in college, you read those things, and you know, it's a bibliography.

01:03:00.000 So you think, like, I don't know, that must be some source from Darwin and the Galapagos, right?

01:03:03.000 It's official. 1.00

01:03:03.000 Otherwise, why would they put that shit in there? 1.00

01:03:05.000 Because they don't expect you to check them on it. 1.00

01:03:10.000 They don't.

01:03:20.000 Don't tell them Facebook.

01:03:21.000 That's being censored.

01:03:22.000 So what?

01:03:23.000 They fitting to fall off, don't they?

01:03:25.000 They got strikes against us.

01:03:26.000 They've been on that for nine months.

01:03:28.000 Really?

01:03:29.000 You want to take them down?

01:03:29.000 Well, no, of course I won't take them down.

01:03:31.000 You're not the right kind of black. 1.00

01:03:31.000 Screw them. 1.00

01:03:35.000 I applied for that black leadership program. 0.99

01:03:37.000 It didn't work.

01:03:38.000 No one ever got back to me.

01:03:41.000 Guess I ain't black enough.

01:03:42.000 The trucker hat was kind of a giveaway. 0.75

01:03:45.000 Unless it's like ironic, like Pharrell, I think that means they're probably not urban enough.

01:03:52.000 It's got a flag on their hat.

01:03:54.000 Plus I got bangs. 1.00

01:03:57.000 Doing like a black man will bang. 1.00

01:03:59.000 Alright, let's see what this guy is saying still. 0.99

01:04:06.000 By the way, we'll be taking your chat.

01:04:07.000 My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Rickman, will be taking your legal questions in a little bit after the hour when I can take a urination break.

01:04:14.000 We also have Thomas Finnegan coming up.

01:04:15.000 We also have Thomas Finnegan coming up who's on the ground in Washington, D.C.

01:04:20.000 for us.

01:04:21.000 Investigating impeachment.

01:04:22.000 Gonna be talking about impeachment.

01:04:23.000 And in fairness, I can't think of any convincing response.

01:04:28.000 Right there, yeah.

01:04:30.000 Just move on.

01:04:32.000 Closing it up.

01:04:34.000 Now perhaps they will have something to say today about it, but

01:04:37.000 they did not yesterday.

01:04:39.000 There's another provision worth mentioning here.

01:04:42.000 Because there's a lot of confusion about it.

01:04:44.000 Without witnesses or actual evidence, you didn't even agree to the rules by yesterday.

01:04:48.000 Now we all know the Senate imposes a judgment only when it convicts.

01:04:54.000 Up on the screen, you'll see Article 1, Section 3, Clause 7.

01:04:58.000 So with that in mind, the language says that the Senate convicts, the judgment shall not extend further than removal and disqualification.

01:05:08.000 And disqualification.

01:05:09.000 That's it.

01:05:10.000 Not more.

01:05:12.000 Not or.

01:05:12.000 or now as i understand

01:05:30.000 president russ argument

01:05:32.000 they believe that this language somehow says that disqualification

01:05:37.000 can only follow removal Because it says and!

01:05:41.000 Because it doesn't say or!

01:05:43.000 It says and!

01:05:44.000 That's the word and!

01:05:46.000 Minor discrepancy.

01:05:47.000 The whole case is disinformation.

01:05:52.000 Wait!

01:05:53.000 They're pointing it out!

01:05:54.000 You can scratch it out?

01:06:00.000 Well, it's a living, breathing document, so let's just... Are you in good hands? 1.00

01:06:04.000 Go fuck yourself. 1.00

01:06:05.000 How about that? 1.00

01:06:06.000 He's basically saying that's what we're trying to say.

01:06:12.000 Let's recap this really quickly.

01:06:14.000 They just showed clips from the insurrection, from the breach that was going on, while Donald Trump was still speaking, as evidence that they did so in response to his speech.

01:06:24.000 And then they just brought up their strongest argument from the Constitution, which required that they scratch out the most pivotal word and add their own. 0.98

01:06:35.000 That's a damn shame. 0.98

01:06:36.000 I can't believe Niggas did that. 1.00

01:06:38.000 That's insane.

01:06:39.000 A little red line.

01:06:40.000 Alright, let's hear how he justifies it.

01:06:54.000 Let me go back and read that.

01:06:55.000 That's in the negative, though.

01:06:57.000 Because I have the quote in front of me somewhere.

01:06:59.000 Of course they're going to do both if they impeach him.

01:07:01.000 If they find him guilty, they're going to remove him.

01:07:03.000 The and.

01:07:03.000 Well, I mean, why are you doing that?

01:07:05.000 The argument he just made was saying that you're not supposed to do certain things and you list them.

01:07:09.000 It doesn't mean that you're not supposed to just do one and not the other.

01:07:11.000 It's like, you're not supposed to kill somebody or light them on fire. 0.99

01:07:14.000 Or and light them on fire. 0.99

01:07:15.000 Right. 0.92

01:07:16.000 You're not separating any of those.

01:07:17.000 those are bad things that you shouldn't do. He's reading a quote out of Convicted

01:07:20.000 and Removed and then he takes a quote I don't know exactly where he took that

01:07:23.000 quote, Edmund something saying it shouldn't preclude people from doing two

01:07:27.000 things but here's the thing if one if one necessitates the prior for it to be

01:07:34.000 legitimate That's what matters in other words. 0.87

01:07:36.000 It's like Okay, if someone claims that I went and I took a shit on your front step, but I was inside the house the whole time Obviously I couldn't do it. 0.99

01:07:46.000 He went outside and Then took a shit on your front step. 0.99

01:07:50.000 Someone just says well, we don't need to prove that he went outside. 1.00

01:07:52.000 We know he's in but He took a shit on the front step. 0.99

01:07:55.000 Well, I couldn't do it if I didn't go outside. 0.99

01:07:57.000 Here's the thing.

01:07:58.000 Convicted and removed.

01:08:00.000 You cannot remove unless convict.

01:08:03.000 It's and because the two go together.

01:08:05.000 And that's the argument that Trump's team is making.

01:08:08.000 And I think what they were doing, Steven, crossing out the and, was saying this is what Trump's team is saying this means and this is what we're saying it means.

01:08:15.000 So maybe going backwards on it.

01:08:17.000 But they're still trying to make the point that it's and meaning either or.

01:08:23.000 They did that elsewhere in the Constitution.

01:08:25.000 I bet you this guy's a real fan of rock or roll.

01:08:27.000 That would have ultimately limited impeachment trials to current officials.

01:08:30.000 But instead, they used broader language.

01:08:34.000 We're just not as funny, I guess.

01:08:35.000 be tried by the United States Senate. Which is not as funny I guess. So who could be on trial

01:08:40.000 rather for impeachment other than civil officers? Who else could a person or a party be? Well really

01:08:47.000 there's only one possible answer, former officers. And again that actually might explain why during

01:08:53.000 the Belknap trial Senator I can't stand politicians.

01:08:56.000 I know.

01:08:57.000 I think everyone feels that way.

01:08:58.000 It's slimy.

01:08:59.000 They all have the same mannerisms.

01:09:00.000 the United States. He sat right where Senator Carper is sitting now.

01:09:04.000 I can't stand politicians. I think everyone feels that way.

01:09:07.000 It's slimy. During the trial, he concluded that the Constitution must allow the impeachment and

01:09:13.000 trial of people and parties who are not civil officers. And the only group that could possibly

01:09:18.000 encompass was former officials like Belknap and of course here, like President Trump.

01:09:26.000 And just so we're clear, by the way, which of course would mean, did they say that?

01:09:32.000 No.

01:09:33.000 Did they say that?

01:09:34.000 Did they say that?

01:09:35.000 Or they said non-civil officials?

01:09:36.000 What did they say?

01:09:37.000 Well, of course it means I don't want to get your opinion, Mr. And.

01:09:40.000 It's like the common sense gun reform.

01:09:43.000 By the way, Stephen, correct me if I'm wrong, but in England, when they brought this impeachment over from England, this was a principle that they brought over.

01:09:49.000 You could impeach somebody who was not a public official, I believe.

01:09:53.000 There was a little bit more of a lax rule, at the very least, on who you could impeach and who you could remove.

01:09:59.000 Well, back there, you also could arrest people if they weren't following the Church of England and spent a little too much time in Gin Alley.

01:10:08.000 Oh, well, that's true.

01:10:09.000 So, you know, we kind of left them for some reasons.

01:10:11.000 Well, but if you're looking for context, wouldn't what they originally pulled it from give you some context as well?

01:10:16.000 And what they chose to leave out and what they chose to include would tell you a little more about what they're thinking.

01:10:19.000 Exactly.

01:10:20.000 What they chose to change.

01:10:21.000 For example, it would be like saying, well, actually, if you look at this, and they bring up some lawsuits, you don't need representation for taxation.

01:10:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:10:28.000 Kind of important.

01:10:29.000 That's the reason we had what some might call a schism.

01:10:32.000 Yes.

01:10:33.000 We invaded a ship.

01:10:34.000 It actually looks like we have Thomas Finnegan.

01:10:36.000 Actually, our impeachment correspondent, it is time to go to Thomas Finnegan, who is there at the impeachment.

01:10:42.000 Thomas Finnegan.

01:10:44.000 All right, Thomas Finnegan, can you hear me, sir?

01:10:55.000 Hi, Steven.

01:10:56.000 Yes, I can.

01:10:56.000 All right, what do you got there from the ground of the impeachment?

01:11:01.000 Well, I thought it would be helpful to start with some fast facts.

01:11:04.000 So, as you know, the peach is known as a stone fruit.

01:11:04.000 Thank you.

01:11:08.000 It's originally from China.

01:11:10.000 And what I like about it, on a personal note, is it's delicate yet firm.

01:11:18.000 Yeah, we're talking about impeachment.

01:11:19.000 Where are you, Thomas Finnegan?

01:11:24.000 Atlanta?

01:11:26.000 Where are you right now?

01:11:27.000 I'm in Atlanta.

01:11:29.000 Why are you in Atlanta?

01:11:30.000 The impeachment is going on in Washington.

01:11:33.000 Alright, you know what?

01:11:38.000 Go on down to Washington.

01:11:39.000 We'll check back in with you, Thomas Finnegan, from Washington.

01:11:43.000 That's enough.

01:11:44.000 Tom's finished.

01:11:45.000 Okay.

01:11:46.000 Nice little afro going.

01:11:55.000 Doesn't reflect well on this production.

01:11:57.000 Alright, let me hear him for a couple of seconds and then I'm gonna have to urinate like a racehorse and we'll bring in a half-Asian Bill to answer some legal questions. 1.00

01:12:11.000 Unfortunately, we don't hold public office where we are held to no accountability and suckle up to public teat.

01:12:16.000 But we're funded by... we're not funded by a foreign caliphate.

01:12:20.000 Mugs!

01:12:22.000 Which they had to have known, because it's in the article that they cite in the brief, is that removal is, quote, not the sole end of impeachment.

01:12:34.000 Actually, in that same article, he describes the view, advocated by President Trump's lawyers, as having deep flaws.

01:12:43.000 And again, you do not have to take my word for it.

01:12:46.000 Thanks, LeVar Burton.

01:12:47.000 You can take Professor Kaut's word for it.

01:12:49.000 The professor they cited in their brief, filed yesterday.

01:12:52.000 Because he tweeted about it.

01:12:53.000 Oh, a tweet!

01:12:55.000 Let's take his word for it from the brief yesterday.

01:12:55.000 Good!

01:12:58.000 Let's take his tweet for it.

01:13:00.000 Out of context.

01:13:00.000 President Trump's brief cites my 2001 article on late impeachment a lot.

01:13:05.000 But in several places, they misrepresent what I wrote quite badly.

01:13:10.000 There are multiple examples of such flat-out misrepresentations.

01:13:14.000 They didn't have to be disingenuous and misleading like this.

01:13:20.000 Well, you know what, listen, I think we all do have a problem with being disingenuous and misleading, like claiming that Donald Trump colluded with Russia, when you did it!

01:13:27.000 That doesn't count. 0.92

01:13:30.000 We didn't even bring in the peeing hookers thing. 1.00

01:13:32.000 Yeah, remember that? 0.69

01:13:33.000 They said Donald Trump, they said there was videotape.

01:13:35.000 Remember they also said there was videotape of Donald Trump dropping the n-bomb?

01:13:38.000 That was a big thing.

01:13:39.000 It was gonna come out any day, any day.

01:13:40.000 Yeah, it was gonna come out any day, along with his mixtape.

01:13:42.000 That is a disappointment.

01:13:45.000 They just lie about everything.

01:13:46.000 It's just they throw so many lies and want to make it stick.

01:13:49.000 And the reason it didn't stick for most is because Donald Trump had the ability to communicate right with the people.

01:13:53.000 This is what's so important here.

01:13:54.000 Donald Trump had the ability to communicate straight to the people.

01:13:56.000 He didn't need CNN.

01:13:57.000 He didn't need Fox News.

01:13:59.000 That's why they don't see the irony here that they're citing tweets because Donald Trump added some legitimacy to that.

01:14:05.000 Because Donald Trump didn't give interviews to their legacy outlets and so what they had to do was pull his tweets.

01:14:05.000 Why?

01:14:10.000 And so now that sort of made it, I guess, some form of admissible evidence.

01:14:13.000 But what happened is, while he was in office, this couldn't stick because he could fight back, right?

01:14:17.000 We found out that it was the Democrats who were behind the Steele dossier.

01:14:19.000 We found out that Fusion GPS was contracted by them.

01:14:22.000 We found out that there was nothing they could find on Donald Trump as it related to Russia.

01:14:25.000 That was a false impeachment.

01:14:27.000 These people haven't been held accountable.

01:14:28.000 Donald Trump was able to fight back and now after he is out of office as a private citizen, they remove him from all social platforms and the town square so that they can try and make an example of him when he can't fight back.

01:14:41.000 Let's be really clear about what this is here.

01:14:43.000 Look, they can argue until they're blue in the face about historical... they cannot show you a case.

01:14:49.000 Where a former president was convicted and impeached.

01:14:52.000 They won't be able to bring that up.

01:14:53.000 The most recent example we have is Nixon, right?

01:14:55.000 Who resigned and he wasn't impeached and said he was pardoned.

01:14:58.000 That's what you do if you want the country to heal.

01:15:00.000 They don't want healing right now.

01:15:02.000 What they want to do is, it's for the same reason that before Donald Trump was in office, They said they were going to impeach him.

01:15:08.000 It's for the same reason that before Donald Trump had served out the first year of his first term, they said that he wouldn't hand over power peacefully.

01:15:15.000 They were trying to set up this house of cards so they could tell you beforehand that this man was an illegitimate president because he was an outsider who went to Washington and they really didn't like the fact that he toppled over the apple cart.

01:15:29.000 And they want to make sure that any of you out there who aren't part of the Washington DC insider elite, that you think twice That's what this is right now.

01:15:36.000 This is a warning shot to all Americans who've thought of entering into these races. 1.00

01:15:40.000 you guys are the proletariats, right? You have no role there and they want to hang him up.

01:15:44.000 And anyone who supported him, like Spartacus on the cross, to make sure that all good Americans

01:15:50.000 don't represent their own constituents, but professional politicians and lobbyists.

01:15:54.000 Make them a say. That's what this is right now. This is a warning shot to all Americans who 0.84

01:15:58.000 thought of entering into these races. They want you to see that they'll destroy your life if 1.00

01:16:03.000 you're an outsider. Yeah, absolutely.

01:16:06.000 We're getting some breathing over there.

01:16:07.000 Yeah, we're getting a lot of breathing over there.

01:16:10.000 Oh, I got too much breathing.

01:16:11.000 You're just all up on that mic.

01:16:13.000 You were just like, Steven, go, yeah.

01:16:16.000 Who's this guy?

01:16:19.000 As I hope is now clear from the arguments of Mr. Raskin and Mr. Neguse, impeachment is not merely about what we just said about the law firm.

01:16:29.000 Fundamentally, impeachment exists to protect our constitutional system.

01:16:32.000 We actually have a live fact check from Rodigan on that State Farm guy, Neguse. 1.00

01:16:36.000 Yeah, so this comes from Jonathan Turley.

01:16:38.000 He just tweeted this out.

01:16:40.000 Rep Neguse just said in my Duke piece and said that I was an advocate until just a couple weeks ago for retroactive trials.

01:16:45.000 I appreciate the citations, but it's not true.

01:16:47.000 That article was 21 years ago, and then he links the article.

01:16:50.000 Oh! 0.60

01:16:51.000 Fact check!

01:16:53.000 It also ensures accountability for presidents who harm us or our government.

01:16:56.000 So, what just happened to him is what he tried to quote the other guy who tweeted?

01:17:00.000 That's not the guy who he quoted in the tweet, was it?

01:17:02.000 It was one of them.

01:17:05.000 That's almost as bad as Kavanaugh when, not Swetnick, but Ford was like, well, you know what?

01:17:14.000 Ask these people.

01:17:14.000 This happened.

01:17:15.000 And they're like, no, that never happened.

01:17:17.000 Never mind, don't ask those people.

01:17:18.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:17:19.000 Her therapist said that it was at this house.

01:17:21.000 Like, yeah, it's not a house.

01:17:22.000 That's actually not even a street.

01:17:24.000 But it used to be.

01:17:26.000 Well, you know what?

01:17:27.000 Better run it on the media.

01:17:28.000 Better run it on news anyway.

01:17:29.000 Put it on the Chiron.

01:17:29.000 No one's going to know.

01:17:30.000 That's exactly what just happened.

01:17:32.000 Thank you so much.

01:17:32.000 Thank you.

01:17:33.000 And team more of that because I can't necessarily bring up the fact-checking.

01:17:37.000 Can you bring that up again?

01:17:38.000 That is hysterical.

01:17:41.000 And here's the thing.

01:17:42.000 Not that just conjecture matters.

01:17:43.000 They're citing people of different opinions.

01:17:45.000 You can find people of different legal opinions on almost any issue.

01:17:48.000 But they consider that to be irrefutable proof by look this guy said that Donald Trump misrepresented him and this is the exact proof used against him.

01:17:54.000 From 21 years ago.

01:18:01.000 I love it.

01:18:02.000 He used the My Cousin Vinny defense. 1.00

01:18:03.000 He said, yeah, uh, excuse me, everything that guy said is bullshit. 0.99

01:18:06.000 Thank you. 0.99

01:18:07.000 Next.

01:18:09.000 Well, I want to go back to a point you made, that Donald Trump went around the media, and the minute that they figured out, oh my gosh, he's resonating with people, they stopped covering his press briefings.

01:18:09.000 Absolutely.

01:18:17.000 Do you remember that?

01:18:18.000 When he did the COVID briefings?

01:18:19.000 Oh yeah.

01:18:20.000 And here's what they did.

01:18:21.000 Because before that, they were condemning him that he wasn't doing daily press briefings.

01:18:23.000 Exactly.

01:18:24.000 So that's bad enough, but they also said, all right, instead of just not showing him, we are going to mischaracterize everything that he says in this briefing that we're not showing you so that you can make up your own mind.

01:18:33.000 Right.

01:18:34.000 That's the modern media that we have.

01:18:35.000 And these guys just did the same thing.

01:18:37.000 This professor right here was an advocate right up until just a couple of weeks ago.

01:18:41.000 And then the guy's like, actually, the article you just quoted from was 21 years ago.

01:18:44.000 Yeah.

01:18:44.000 I've gone the other way on this.

01:18:46.000 By the way, it's not like that's the end-all be-all of authority, because you can find some professors who believe you should give six-year-olds puberty blockers.

01:18:52.000 Absolutely.

01:18:53.000 I call those professors child abusers. 0.98

01:18:55.000 You could find Barack Obama, for example, who was against homosexual marriage. 0.98

01:18:59.000 Right.

01:18:59.000 To be fair, he was still smoking crack with convicted domestic terrorist Bill Ayers at the time, so, you know, it slipped his mind.

01:19:08.000 Brother got a party.

01:19:09.000 Brother got a party.

01:19:10.000 And listen to Tupac, or no? 0.99

01:19:13.000 Hey, didn't that dude suck him off too? 0.99

01:19:15.000 Oh my gosh, what? 0.99

01:19:16.000 What are you talking about?

01:19:17.000 Y'all didn't see that? 1.00

01:19:17.000 The white guy said he sucked off Obama? 1.00

01:19:19.000 I don't know, we can't confirm that. 1.00

01:19:22.000 Allegedly.

01:19:23.000 Don't make us like them.

01:19:24.000 Allegedly.

01:19:25.000 We can absolutely confirm that he smoked crack with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.

01:19:29.000 Convicted domestic terrorist.

01:19:30.000 Not some guy who wrote an article saying he should be.

01:19:32.000 Convicted domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. 0.89

01:19:34.000 If he's gonna do all that, he can get sucked off too, by the way. 0.93

01:19:37.000 Don't put us on the hook for that. 0.96

01:19:38.000 That's not too far of a stretch.

01:19:40.000 I'm not saying it's physically impossible.

01:19:42.000 Right.

01:19:43.000 I'm just saying that I can't lay claim to that fact.

01:19:46.000 Yeah, I just saw a video.

01:19:47.000 The dude was... You saw a video?

01:19:49.000 You saw a video of Rob Bob being sucked off? 0.93

01:19:51.000 No, no, no! 0.59

01:19:52.000 That's a big video.

01:19:52.000 Share that.

01:19:53.000 He was getting sucked off. 1.00

01:19:54.000 The dude claimed that he was getting cracked smoking with him and then after that he would suck him off too. 0.99

01:19:59.000 I sure hope you're using our sponsor ExpressVPN because the DOJ certainly has your IP address. 0.88

01:20:04.000 They know you.

01:20:05.000 Y'all can edit all this out, huh?

01:20:08.000 Okay, that's live.

01:20:09.000 Live.

01:20:10.000 Yes, live.

01:20:12.000 Not live to tape.

01:20:13.000 They thought this was just gonna be live-ly.

01:20:15.000 Enthusiastic.

01:20:15.000 Y'all gonna do this on like a 20-second loop?

01:20:19.000 We need to have a Hodge Twins delay built in. 0.99

01:20:22.000 Alright, do we have some legal questions chat for Half-Asian Bill Richmond? 0.83

01:20:26.000 Uh, yeah, I think Bill's looking at him right now.

01:20:28.000 Okay, because I have got to use the restroom super badly.

01:20:32.000 Super bad.

01:20:32.000 So let me know when I can do that, because I feel like one of those kids from Christian Children Funds with the bulging stomachs.

01:20:38.000 With the bulging stomach?

01:20:39.000 Do you want to run a commercial, or do you want to have Bill come in and do that?

01:20:43.000 Uh, let's, uh, let's have Bill come in before we run a commercial and answer some of your legal chats. 0.82

01:20:52.000 Oh, hold on a second, they're bringing up a Donald Trump tweet.

01:20:54.000 Oh, it's the same tweet as earlier.

01:20:56.000 Hold on a second.

01:20:57.000 Doesn't he say, go home with love and peace?

01:21:01.000 By the way, that tweet could have been written by Gandhi.

01:21:05.000 I mean, he wouldn't have had the energy to do it.

01:21:07.000 A little frail.

01:21:08.000 But the point is, saying that something was... This is something people don't understand about Gandhi.

01:21:12.000 Gandhi was supportive of peace, and Gandhi said that of all... I believe he said of all the British Empire's acts, robbing an entire nation of people of arms will be the blackest.

01:21:21.000 I don't know why you can't say, hey, we need reform.

01:21:23.000 This system isn't working for us right now.

01:21:24.000 This system has no accountability.

01:21:25.000 Go home in love and peace.

01:21:27.000 And those things can't be true.

01:21:28.000 Didn't Barack Obama run on the idea of change?

01:21:30.000 know why you can't say, hey, we need reform.

01:21:33.000 This system isn't working for us right now.

01:21:36.000 This system has no accountability.

01:21:39.000 Go home in love and peace.

01:21:40.000 And those things can't be true.

01:21:41.000 Didn't Barack Obama run on the idea of change?

01:21:44.000 What does that mean?

01:21:45.000 Change everything?

01:21:46.000 Hope?

01:21:47.000 Meaning what?

01:21:48.000 That the previous administration was hopeless?

01:21:49.000 It's the same thing.

01:21:50.000 Politicians run on it all the time.

01:21:51.000 The only difference is that Donald Trump is the first person to actually live it in office, and they don't like that.

01:21:58.000 Yeah, absolutely.

01:22:00.000 You have to be able to use that kind of vocabulary, too, right?

01:22:02.000 Fighting like hell, like we've talked about before.

01:22:04.000 Really fighting.

01:22:06.000 You're supposed to be passive in how you push your ideas, right?

01:22:09.000 And how you run for office and how you try to affect change.

01:22:12.000 How about this?

01:22:13.000 Were you supposed to be passive when you're trying to fight systemic racism, quote-unquote, in the police force?

01:22:17.000 Is that what you were supposed to do?

01:22:18.000 Just be very passive about it?

01:22:20.000 Hold on, hold that thought, because right now, hit music, because you know he's coming in.

01:22:24.000 He's coming in!

01:22:24.000 It's my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, while I go take a tinkle answering Your legal questions.

01:22:28.000 Ah, my knee!

01:22:29.000 It hurts so much when I get up!

01:22:31.000 Everybody's a fan and you think they're gonna... This is absurd!

01:22:37.000 Oh, everybody's a bandit.

01:22:41.000 Oh, why this is terrible? 0.99

01:22:42.000 I feel like I gotta go piss. 0.85

01:22:43.000 This is absurd.

01:22:44.000 Get the door, please.

01:22:45.000 Drop it a load.

01:22:46.000 My gosh.

01:22:48.000 Big guys, small bladders.

01:22:50.000 Alright, so we've got a couple of questions.

01:22:52.000 Yeah.

01:22:53.000 You know, this is a very unusual proceeding, but some of the questions that folks are asking are really great questions.

01:22:57.000 They're the kind of questions a normal person would be asking during an unusual type of procedure.

01:23:03.000 So, let's go to the first one.

01:23:04.000 Neil Meyer asks, Hey Bill, can Biden be impeached for failure to enforce immigration laws?

01:23:10.000 He's technically aiding and abetting, right?

01:23:12.000 Well, there's a lot of wishy-washiness when it comes to the standard for impeachment.

01:23:17.000 That's why there's so much question and so much outcry over when we decide something is treasonous, when they're aiding and abetting a foreign enemy, or a domestic enemy for that matter.

01:23:28.000 And the definitions are not entirely clear.

01:23:30.000 One, we have a civil law system that's based on precedent.

01:23:33.000 The precedent itself changes, it grows.

01:23:35.000 It's like a glacier or like a stalactite that has different layers that grow over time.

01:23:40.000 And so when you ask whether or not Biden can be impeached for failure to enforce immigration

01:23:44.000 laws, I think the question you have to ask is, is Biden the one actually enforcing those

01:23:48.000 laws?

01:23:49.000 And a lot of the times the immigration laws themselves are subject to prosecutorial discretion.

01:23:53.000 It's the canon of law and practice that has been around not only in Europe prior to America but throughout American history that says prosecutors are the ones that decide are they really going to try and take you for that you know quarter ounce of doobie that you've got or are they going to say let's go focus on more important things.

01:24:10.000 Now clearly the senate for democrats they have decided that they want

01:24:14.000 to go after what just is clearly just a bunch of non-fun gummies um that you you need to get

01:24:20.000 through what is going to be another terrible year and so i would say no most likely a president or any

01:24:27.000 official won't be impeached for not enforcing the laws particularly given that biden is not the

01:24:33.000 one who's actually enforcing these laws themselves so no could have been the answer

01:24:38.000 I don't get paid by the hour by just saying no, Joe.

01:24:41.000 I know, that's a very lawyerly response.

01:24:45.000 Duh.

01:24:45.000 You are a lawyer.

01:24:46.000 All right.

01:24:46.000 Go sell wine.

01:24:47.000 Quick Draw Shirts asks, question for Bill, why isn't the Supreme Court halting this proceeding?

01:24:54.000 Because there is no Chief Justice presiding over this trial.

01:24:58.000 So there's a lot of power you have in the Supreme Court when you actually have some ground to stand on.

01:25:03.000 As we've seen throughout the election questioning, and we've seen throughout the presidency of Donald Trump, when the Supreme Court doesn't have solid ground to act on, they simply don't act.

01:25:15.000 Here, we know that one of the four tenets under the Constitution says that when there is a president and he's being impeached, or she's being impeached, someday in the future, Kamala, I'm looking at you, next month, so when you have the president being impeached, it's very clear under the Constitution that the Supreme Court Chief Justice of the United States would be the one who sits in.

01:25:37.000 The actual rule does not say anything about having anyone else being impeached and requiring the Chief Justice.

01:25:44.000 The history in the Senate itself is very common, that when you have non-presidential impeachments, which do occur from time to time, you often have the President Pro Tem of the Senate.

01:25:54.000 That is the longest-serving Senator.

01:25:56.000 Here, that's Patrick Leahy, all of 80 years old.

01:25:59.000 Spry?

01:25:59.000 No.

01:26:01.000 So he's the one who's actually going to be presiding.

01:26:04.000 There's definitely some furor over whether that's happened, but even historically, sensitive votes have been presided over by the President pro tem.

01:26:11.000 Not that unusual, but really it comes down to the Supreme Court.

01:26:15.000 Have they really been doing a whole lot right now?

01:26:17.000 Not a whole lot.

01:26:18.000 Not surprising that they're sitting this one out.

01:26:20.000 Bill, I got a follow-up to that.

01:26:21.000 Go ahead, Gerald.

01:26:22.000 Yes, please interrupt.

01:26:24.000 So what they're saying is that we are This is the continuation of proceedings of President Donald Trump, right?

01:26:32.000 Right.

01:26:33.000 Right, and so we're removing him.

01:26:34.000 So wouldn't the argument be then, okay, well, you're making the argument that this is not

01:26:38.000 a private citizen, this is just the continuation of a trial of the president, so wouldn't that

01:26:41.000 necessitate having the Supreme Court justice be sitting in that chair instead of the Senate

01:26:47.000 pro tem?

01:26:48.000 Shockingly a great point, Gerald.

01:26:49.000 No, that really is actually one of the arguments that folks are making is, wait a minute, if

01:26:53.000 you're saying it's a continuation of what happened while he was president, so that's

01:26:58.000 why you can get over the unconstitutional objection of impeaching a non-sitting president,

01:27:03.000 then you should have followed the rules from when he was president.

01:27:06.000 Because it's a president, still, that you're impeaching.

01:27:09.000 Exactly.

01:27:09.000 So now folks have even raised the question of whether or not, let's say you even get to a conviction, that any kind of conviction would be subject to judicial review by the Supreme Court as having not followed the rules.

01:27:21.000 And that's, again, the part that shows that this is more about the theater than anything else.

01:27:26.000 It's about saying, oh hey, can we get this guy on the stand?

01:27:30.000 Can we get his cronies on the stand?

01:27:32.000 Can we get our cronies on the stand?

01:27:33.000 Can we get some free air time from CNN who's breaking away from every other moment of coverage to give you the most boring thing I've ever seen in my life.

01:27:41.000 I mean, there's a whole world going out there and all they want to do is talk about this impeachment.

01:27:44.000 And now, of course, we have to talk about it.

01:27:47.000 If it wasn't for us, you wouldn't be able to watch this.

01:27:49.000 You'd fall asleep halfway through this without us.

01:27:52.000 Well, you know, because Biden created the vaccine, I heard.

01:27:54.000 So, you know, he's the reason I have it, right?

01:27:57.000 That's true, yeah.

01:27:58.000 That's what I heard.

01:27:59.000 That's what he was doing in his basement instead of running for office like most politicians do during the elections.

01:28:03.000 He was back there with beakers and stuff.

01:28:04.000 You guys thought the lid was just, you know, sealing in the vaccine he was creating for us.

01:28:09.000 Good for him.

01:28:10.000 Working hard for us.

01:28:11.000 All right, final question and I'm going to get out of here.

01:28:13.000 Benjamin Hill asks, what would be the pros or cons of having Trump testify at his own trial if the trial proceeds?

01:28:21.000 Now, clearly Benjamin Hill does not watch Law & Order or any other kind of show of the law because everyone knows that when a criminal defendant or an impeachment defendant decides to take the stand, they're going to have to testify about all kinds of things.

01:28:35.000 They're going to have to They're going to waive any kind of Fifth Amendment privilege.

01:28:38.000 They're going to waive other kinds of privilege or confidentiality.

01:28:41.000 They have the right to not testify in their own defense, but once they do, you've got to start answering questions.

01:28:47.000 And sometimes, just the act of asking the question, and seeing their eyes dart back and forth, or them go, and not answer the question, is going to be problematic.

01:28:58.000 So most defendants, most criminal defense lawyers, I don't practice criminal defense, but my friends in the criminal defense world, say you're not likely to go up there and say anything even if you're

01:29:07.000 innocent even if you have really great evidence because of the fact that it opens you

01:29:11.000 up to so much.

01:29:12.000 So I think that the pros are definitely outweighed by the cons here but there's no

01:29:16.000 question that having a direct commentary from the former president would without a doubt answer some questions.

01:29:25.000 Answer questions for both sides and to really see what was done here.

01:29:28.000 But we know that we have the words of the President from January 6th.

01:29:33.000 We know what those words actually say.

01:29:35.000 For those who have actually read through those words and looked at them, you can understand why, again, every article talking about this goes, it's going to be really, really, really, really hard to get that two-thirds majority for an actual conviction.

01:29:47.000 You know what we would have more of?

01:29:50.000 We would have more of his words if Twitter hadn't banned him, if Facebook hadn't banned him. 1.00

01:29:55.000 We would be able to hear him say, no, no, no, you guys are idiots, and underline the word, go home in peace, and underline the word, peacefully make your voices heard. 0.99

01:30:03.000 Yeah, he would say that too. 1.00

01:30:04.000 He would do that!

01:30:05.000 He would come out of his own defense and be like, these guys, I can't do the voice, Stephen's the only one that I know.

01:30:09.000 He is very good at the voice.

01:30:10.000 Trump's voice!

01:30:11.000 He'd be like, see, I told you!

01:30:12.000 See, I told you, these guys are exactly who I told you they were!

01:30:18.000 Pretty good.

01:30:19.000 So I'm gonna say, you know, we can't see you back there so it's okay.

01:30:19.000 Drink some more.

01:30:25.000 So I'm gonna say, you know, yeah, we can't see you back there so it's okay.

01:30:35.000 Good, good.

01:30:36.000 I'm not drinking Wild Turkey 101.

01:30:40.000 Allegedly.

01:30:41.000 I'm the president of our country.

01:30:42.000 But you heard.

01:30:48.000 On that note, let's get back to the host with the most 101 in him.

01:30:52.000 I first heard this song on, what's that movie?

01:30:56.000 I first heard this song on um, what's that movie? Kingpin?

01:31:02.000 Kingpin?

01:31:02.000 Did Gerald just leave?

01:31:07.000 Yeah, he did.

01:31:08.000 Was he going to the bathroom?

01:31:10.000 He just left me.

01:31:11.000 Alright.

01:31:12.000 Hey, by the way, that air went up to 75, so Tim the Toolman might need to look it up.

01:31:17.000 It started getting hot, even for you guys.

01:31:18.000 I feel great.

01:31:19.000 It feels great, Adam.

01:31:20.000 That's because you're colored. 0.99

01:31:21.000 Colored?

01:31:22.000 They come from a different climate.

01:31:24.000 Why is colored racist, but people of color isn't? 0.99

01:31:27.000 I don't know.

01:31:28.000 It's just semantics.

01:31:29.000 What do you prefer to be called?

01:31:31.000 African American?

01:31:31.000 I actually prefer to be called Negro.

01:31:35.000 Why don't you answer a question honestly once?

01:31:37.000 I'd rather just be known as an American.

01:31:40.000 I don't even call myself black American.

01:31:42.000 I'm just an American who has African descent.

01:31:44.000 Right, but if I were describing you in a lineup...

01:31:48.000 He looks like Osama's kid. 1.00

01:31:49.000 He's got the same skin tone, he's got the beard going. 0.98

01:31:53.000 I'm a light-skinned American.

01:31:54.000 Hey, by the way, bring back up the drinking game rules there, Quarterback Garrett, and you're going to have to be the one on top of it, because I can't, I don't remember these.

01:32:01.000 Insurrection, hate speech, subverted democracy, terrorist, QAnon, and hate speech is already there. 0.97

01:32:07.000 Wow, that Wild Turkey 101 really hits you.

01:32:08.000 And the bonus! 0.99

01:32:10.000 Insighted the erection. 0.94

01:32:11.000 Gotta finish that drink. 0.98

01:32:12.000 Insighted the erection. 0.99

01:32:14.000 Or if Chuck Schumer happens to have an erection, but we don't expect any six-year-olds to be there on the fourth. 0.99

01:32:19.000 That's an extra bonus. 0.96

01:32:20.000 How could you even confuse those two words?

01:32:23.000 It'd be easy if you're Asian. 1.00

01:32:26.000 Insighted the erection. 0.99

01:32:28.000 Insighted the insurrection. 0.99

01:32:30.000 Insighted the erection. 0.79

01:32:31.000 It's a Freudian slip. 0.97

01:32:33.000 He's thinking about erections. 0.76

01:32:34.000 Alright, again, the promo code is... 0.99

01:32:38.000 Fight like hell.

01:32:39.000 You get $30 off, and Half-Asian Bill will update us some point in the future on the lawsuit with Facebook, and of course the hashtag is Crowder Impeachment Stream.

01:32:50.000 We need to get the Hodgetwins some beer so that they get a little bit more chatty.

01:32:52.000 All right, let's see.

01:32:53.000 Look at all these things that are being presented!

01:32:54.000 It's tweets!

01:32:55.000 They're tweets.

01:32:56.000 Here's what's beautiful about this.

01:32:56.000 It's tweets!

01:32:57.000 Evidence.

01:32:58.000 Put it this way. 0.87

01:32:59.000 You know how you guys have been fact-checked by Snopes, you know, because black conservatives make them nervous? 1.00

01:33:05.000 I mean, I think black people make nervous and jittery. 1.00

01:33:07.000 They get sweaty palms. 0.98

01:33:08.000 Especially conservatives.

01:33:09.000 Yeah.

01:33:10.000 Their faction is saying this isn't legitimate news, right?

01:33:12.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:33:13.000 Why are they saying that we're... Who do we cite?

01:33:15.000 We cite, usually in our show, again, all of our sources are available at lottocredit.com.

01:33:18.000 This is our general rule.

01:33:19.000 We try and start with original sources, right?

01:33:22.000 What do we mean by that?

01:33:23.000 Things like, if it's a medical claim, a clinical trial from PubMed.

01:33:26.000 Or if it's some kind of a legal claim, we actually go to the amicus brief.

01:33:30.000 Or if it's something from the Constitution, we go to the Constitution.

01:33:32.000 That's what we always try and do.

01:33:33.000 And then, outside of that, we try and use what are determined to be liberal sources from PolitiFact, Southern Poverty Law Center, even though we know that that's not true, right, because they declare half the churches to be hate groups because they believe that two dudes shouldn't be married.

01:33:46.000 But we use those just so that YouTube and Facebook can't claim we aren't using legitimate news sources.

01:33:51.000 But what do most of those people use?

01:33:53.000 Tweets!

01:33:54.000 So when they try and say we need to stop mainstreaming alternative viewpoints and we need to start pushing into the algorithm authoritative news sources, these people, the elected officials, again, who you would want to think have some kind of an inside lane that you don't, their sources are tweets.

01:34:13.000 This is a perfect example of what happens, right?

01:34:15.000 This is a perfect example of the incestuous relationship between Washington D.C.

01:34:18.000 and the media.

01:34:19.000 What happens is Washington D.C.

01:34:20.000 says, well, we need to impeach him because look at these pieces of evidence that we see from anonymous sources completely uncorroborated by the media.

01:34:28.000 And they go, so we're going to impeach.

01:34:30.000 And then the media goes, this is the only president who's been twice impeached.

01:34:34.000 And it's a circular loop.

01:34:36.000 And the only person to point it out was Donald Trump.

01:34:39.000 I have never been so wrong in my life.

01:34:41.000 When I said that if Republicans run Donald Trump in 2016, we deserve to lose.

01:34:45.000 I said those words.

01:34:47.000 I am stuffed with Crow. 0.51

01:34:50.000 I couldn't take another bite.

01:34:52.000 Okay?

01:34:54.000 Because he was the guy, for that period in time, to point out the unholy alliance of media and the elites in Washington, D.C.

01:35:01.000 I don't think anyone else could have done it.

01:35:03.000 I think Ted Cruz would have made a good president.

01:35:05.000 I think there were other candidates who would have made good presidents.

01:35:07.000 But I think they would have played too nicely. 0.94

01:35:10.000 So the fact that Donald Trump does have an ego, that he is a little bit bombastic, is also exactly what we need because the guy lining up on the other side of that fence is Chuck Schumer with a raging erection. 0.98

01:35:21.000 Right.

01:35:21.000 And by the way, nobody has done more than Donald Trump to tear down their power base and their structure of power, right?

01:35:28.000 Nobody else has gone in there like he has and said, I don't care if you like China.

01:35:31.000 I don't care if you like Iran. 0.99

01:35:32.000 I don't care if you like how these systems are set up.

01:35:35.000 This isn't helping the American people.

01:35:36.000 And so we are not going to do it this way.

01:35:38.000 And by the way, media, I don't need you.

01:35:41.000 I've done this before you.

01:35:42.000 I'll go around you and go talk directly to people on social media platforms.

01:35:46.000 And I think he threatened them so much that now they're going for their pound of flesh.

01:35:49.000 Like you said, this is a cautionary tale.

01:35:52.000 Never again come after us and our power structures.

01:35:54.000 Yep.

01:35:55.000 I think you're absolutely right.

01:35:56.000 Let's go back to the guy with the, what is it with Democrats and hair plugs?

01:35:59.000 And by the way, I say this, I say this just so you know.

01:36:03.000 I will absolutely get hair transplants if I go bald because I have a weird egg-shaped head.

01:36:08.000 But I'll let you know if I ever have to do it.

01:36:09.000 I'll let you know.

01:36:11.000 That's a hair piece?

01:36:12.000 No, plugs.

01:36:13.000 Are you sure?

01:36:14.000 I'm not gonna lie.

01:36:16.000 Look.

01:36:17.000 Don't trust me when I said homonym attacks. 1.00

01:36:20.000 I make stuff up.

01:36:22.000 I know that you guys have been burned by white people in power and so I don't want you to judge them by my misbehavior. 0.97

01:36:28.000 I just like to make stuff up.

01:36:30.000 It makes me feel big.

01:36:32.000 Hey, speaking of tweets, we have a bunch.

01:36:34.000 No one was speaking of tweets.

01:36:36.000 Well, you were just a little while ago.

01:36:38.000 We have a bunch from Rep.

01:36:39.000 David Cicilline.

01:36:40.000 Still a little shell-shocked from Nagasaki there, Tocanalan. 0.99

01:36:43.000 This guy talking right here, we have a bunch of tweets from Russia.

01:36:46.000 We got here.

01:36:48.000 Russia? 0.61

01:36:49.000 Wrong.

01:36:49.000 Maybe our country's democracy was robbed when Russia tipped the scales for real Donald Trump.

01:36:55.000 Russia's getting a great return on their investment in the 2016 election.

01:36:58.000 Is anyone really shocked that we now have even more proof that the Trump campaign was open to colluding with Putin's Russia?

01:37:04.000 People believe this?

01:37:06.000 Donald Trump has invited Russia to commit cybercrime against American citizens in an effort to influence the 2016 presidential election.

01:37:11.000 This is this guy.

01:37:12.000 This is Mr. Pluggs.

01:37:12.000 What does Russia have to gain from Donald Trump?

01:37:14.000 This is the dumb, short sidekick of the criminal in the Flintstones. 1.00

01:37:20.000 I thought he colluded with Russia, boss! 1.00

01:37:23.000 You idiot! 1.00

01:37:24.000 You're supposed to go down to the Water Buffalo Lodge! 1.00

01:37:26.000 That's what he looks like, this guy.

01:37:28.000 The Water Buffalo Lodge?

01:37:30.000 He looks like Al Capone's body double who they send out first in a convertible.

01:37:34.000 Yeah.

01:37:36.000 Ciciline.

01:37:37.000 Wow.

01:37:38.000 Is he Sicilian? 0.98

01:37:39.000 There's a black man hiding behind his woodshed somewhere down the genetic line. 0.81

01:37:42.000 True romance, watch it.

01:37:48.000 Do you know what they used to do, by the way?

01:38:01.000 For the same reason I have a problem with QAnon and people who make these predictions that are verifiably false.

01:38:07.000 I know, you think Donald Trump's still in charge from Mar-a-Lago.

01:38:10.000 Fine.

01:38:10.000 This isn't the show for you.

01:38:12.000 They used to kill false prophets. 0.86

01:38:15.000 Do you know what they used to do for people who would falsely accuse people of treason? 0.79

01:38:20.000 They used to kill them for treason!

01:38:22.000 So there used to be some kind of accountability, right?

01:38:25.000 This guy accused Donald Trump of treason with the first impeachment, and Russia.

01:38:29.000 Why has there never been accountability?

01:38:31.000 Why isn't a counter-trial, that's what we lawyers, I'm a lawyer, call a counter-offer?

01:38:38.000 Why didn't they file complaints, file charges against these people?

01:38:43.000 I guess it would be hard to prove that all of them were in on it, but at least someone, go up to the top.

01:38:47.000 You pick the Scud Farkas, you don't go for the toady. 1.00

01:38:50.000 Pick whoever started it from the top down, that concerted disinformation campaign.

01:38:55.000 And by the way, it's not even close to what the Democrats did in this election, according to Time Magazine.

01:39:01.000 Yeah.

01:39:01.000 The most evidence that they had was some people in Russia spent $3,000 or $10,000 on 3,000 Facebook ads, something like that.

01:39:09.000 You guys made sure that the unions, the media, the elected politicians, that there would be no coverage of voting irregularities, that it would be banned from big tech.

01:39:19.000 You made sure that they changed their voting laws and their mail-in laws after the constitutional deadlines.

01:39:25.000 All of it!

01:39:25.000 Talk about free advertising!

01:39:28.000 If you were to add up the billions of dollars in free advertising.

01:39:31.000 Oh, it's insane.

01:39:32.000 Think about this right now.

01:39:32.000 That you would get.

01:39:33.000 They're running a sham impeachment trial.

01:39:35.000 They didn't run.

01:39:36.000 CNN decided not to run the White House press briefings amidst what they claim is the worst pandemic since the Spanish flu.

01:39:43.000 Yeah, because he said hydroxychloroquine might actually help.

01:39:46.000 By the way, it turns out it does!

01:39:48.000 It turns out it does, but only in some certain cases.

01:39:52.000 I was kind of paranoid when we got COVID.

01:39:55.000 So I got, you know, you go, yeah, I was like, I was freaking out.

01:39:58.000 I thought I was going to die.

01:39:59.000 But anyway, you know how you can set up an appointment with a doctor online?

01:40:03.000 Yeah.

01:40:03.000 I did that.

01:40:04.000 And I was like, yeah, I got COVID.

01:40:05.000 I want some of that hydroxychloroquine.

01:40:07.000 I want some zithromaxone and all that stuff to get the president.

01:40:10.000 He said, well, the CDC, I can't give you any of that.

01:40:12.000 Right.

01:40:13.000 Just take Tylenol or Motrin for headaches and just... Good luck.

01:40:17.000 That was it.

01:40:17.000 Good luck.

01:40:19.000 I said, you can't give me anything.

01:40:20.000 People's actually dying from this.

01:40:21.000 He's like, well, how old are you?

01:40:22.000 I'm like, I'm 46.

01:40:22.000 He said, well, it looks like you work out.

01:40:25.000 You'll be just fine.

01:40:25.000 That's what he told me.

01:40:26.000 No, no, no, no.

01:40:26.000 Yeah.

01:40:27.000 I'm just black.

01:40:29.000 It just looks that way because of the tan.

01:40:32.000 Haven't you seen Mr. Olympia?

01:40:34.000 They'll just slap on a fake tan. 0.98

01:40:35.000 A tan covers a million mistakes. 1.00

01:40:37.000 I'm a fat son of a bitch. 1.00

01:40:38.000 Give me the drugs. 1.00

01:40:39.000 I'm going to get all this beer up in me.

01:40:41.000 Don't do it that fast.

01:40:42.000 No, please.

01:40:43.000 Chug, chug, chug, chug.

01:40:44.000 I don't think we have cider.

01:40:46.000 I know you guys typically like cider.

01:40:47.000 It's good.

01:40:47.000 Oh, you do?

01:40:48.000 You like it?

01:40:49.000 I remember last time they called it white guy beers.

01:40:51.000 They were like, oh man, I feel that white boy beer. 0.60

01:40:55.000 Why is it a white boy beer?

01:40:56.000 Because it's high ABV.

01:40:58.000 Although really, you guys like Colt 45, doesn't it work every time? 0.99

01:41:01.000 Colt 45, man, that is pure liquid garbage. 0.91

01:41:05.000 Take it up with Billy Dee Williams! 0.99

01:41:08.000 Old English?

01:41:09.000 Oh my god, that is pure poison. 1.00

01:41:12.000 And black people drink that shit like it's Kool-Aid. 1.00

01:41:14.000 Really? 1.00

01:41:15.000 Yeah.

01:41:15.000 Odie?

01:41:16.000 I thought they drank Kool-Aid like it's Kool-Aid.

01:41:18.000 Both.

01:41:19.000 Forties?

01:41:20.000 Swisher Sweets?

01:41:22.000 Oh yeah, that's true.

01:41:23.000 My culture is doomed! 1.00

01:41:25.000 All because of these damn rappers Country music hasn't necessarily been accepting you guys 1.00

01:41:32.000 with open arms either outside of hoodie. Let's Let's see what this guy said. 0.99

01:41:39.000 Lifted up from the agony, and I won't forget their tenderness. 0.99

01:41:48.000 And through the tears I was working on a speech for the floor, when we would all be together in joint session, and I wanted to focus No shit. 0.98

01:41:58.000 unity. Oh, when we met in the house. Oh, really? Okay. How you gonna focus on the famous 1838 Lyceum speech where he 0.98

01:42:07.000 said that if division Republican and destruction ever come to

01:42:12.000 America, it won't come from abroad. No **** It'll come from a man. It'll come from within from the Democrats. So, got

01:42:21.000 it.

01:42:21.000 And in that same speech, Lincoln passionately Yeah.

01:42:26.000 Afford mob violence.

01:42:28.000 Oh, you have a problem with mob violence now.

01:42:32.000 Yeah, all of a sudden.

01:42:34.000 Hey, can we impeach Kamala Harris? 1.00

01:42:37.000 Can we do that where she said, you should get used to this, and you're going to have more of these riots?

01:42:41.000 This is what happens.

01:42:42.000 Here's the thing.

01:42:43.000 Only they can do that, right? 0.98

01:42:45.000 If you're a business who lost your entire life savings and ability to provide for your family, all because some bitch from BuzzFeed boldly, with a crew cut, decided she wanted to burn this mother down, there's no recourse for you. 1.00

01:42:55.000 Only these people can do it, right? 0.98

01:42:59.000 It's the Summer of Love, they said!

01:43:01.000 Well, when is Republicans going to start doing the same responding?

01:43:05.000 Like, they got evidence of what Hillary Clinton did, and there's nothing.

01:43:08.000 Yeah, well, that was one of the first QAnon predictions, I remember, when it said Hillary Clinton was going to be hauled out in cuffs.

01:43:12.000 And I was like, oh, OK.

01:43:12.000 Well, that didn't happen, so this is clearly a lie.

01:43:16.000 And then they were like, no, no, no, no, it's the next, trust me, we've got her right where we want her.

01:43:19.000 Trust the plan.

01:43:19.000 Really?

01:43:20.000 Free?

01:43:21.000 With no repercussions?

01:43:23.000 Well, yeah, that was a brilliant plan by God. 0.98

01:43:25.000 It's like, look, if you have a prophet going around saying, thus saith the Lord, and it doesn't happen, kill them. 0.99

01:43:29.000 Don't just kill them. 1.00

01:43:31.000 They're done. 1.00

01:43:31.000 They don't get a second chance. 1.00

01:43:32.000 They're done. 0.99

01:43:33.000 Kill a prophet who prophesies in my name, and it doesn't happen. 0.99

01:43:36.000 And by that, you mean just don't listen to them. 1.00

01:43:39.000 No, I mean until they're dead. 1.00

01:43:41.000 Stone them. 1.00

01:43:42.000 No, don't kill people out there. 0.99

01:43:44.000 You don't mean people out there. 1.00

01:43:46.000 Son of a bitch, Gerald. 1.00

01:43:47.000 It's like I'm giving you a lifeline and you're like, I don't want to! 1.00

01:43:50.000 No, you're assuming I need a lifesaver.

01:43:53.000 I don't need a lifesaver.

01:43:54.000 I can swim.

01:43:55.000 I went to Goldfish Swimmers when I was five.

01:44:00.000 Gerald, stop.

01:44:01.000 You're drowning. 0.98

01:44:01.000 I'm not saying to go and kill anybody. 0.98

01:44:05.000 He put an accountability measure in the process.

01:44:09.000 And that's what you're saying that we don't have today and that's why it's so important for the media to not be biased. 0.98

01:44:13.000 They have to go after both sides equally so that you can't get away with this crap. 0.98

01:44:18.000 We don't want people killed, obviously, right? 0.99

01:44:20.000 I'm just saying that there was accountability.

01:44:22.000 If you wanted to put yourself in this position to make claims, you knew at the end of the day, if rain doesn't come tomorrow and I say rain comes tomorrow, something's gonna happen, right?

01:44:30.000 This is gonna be bad.

01:44:31.000 We don't want the same thing to happen, but we do want you out of office.

01:44:34.000 We do want you removed from your position of power.

01:44:36.000 Whenever we don't get rain, I just blame the pagans.

01:44:38.000 Well, they just didn't kill him.

01:44:39.000 That shuffling around dancing doesn't come in so handy, does it?

01:44:44.000 Turn to Jesus.

01:44:45.000 This would be a better place if the media did their job, though.

01:44:48.000 Yeah, both sides on it.

01:44:49.000 Let's go back to listen to this guy, see if he's crying yet.

01:44:52.000 It looks like it.

01:44:54.000 Who's 24 and a brilliant algebra teacher in Teach for America?

01:44:59.000 A hero.

01:45:03.000 I told her how sorry I was, and I promised her that it would not be like this again the next time she came back to the Capitol with me.

01:45:11.000 And you know what she said?

01:45:14.000 She said, Dad, I don't want to come back to the Capitol.

01:45:21.000 Give this dude a reward.

01:45:22.000 She didn't because your job is so boring.

01:45:25.000 Again, he's not including the whole quote.

01:45:27.000 The rest of the quote from his daughter was, Dad, what exactly do you do?

01:45:31.000 This was take your daughter to work day. 0.62

01:45:35.000 What do you do?

01:45:36.000 That's crazy.

01:45:38.000 You could tell it's totally fake. 0.96

01:45:44.000 To spear and pummel one of our police officers ruthlessly, mercilessly, Tortured by a pole. 0.59

01:45:54.000 What? 0.95

01:45:55.000 With a flag on it that he was defending.

01:45:57.000 Why's that smirk?

01:45:58.000 Yeah, well that's a little weird.

01:45:59.000 He can't hide the evil no matter how hard he tries.

01:46:01.000 He's like, tortured with a pole.

01:46:03.000 He's trying to cry but he can't help himself, smiling like the Grinch when his heart grew three sizes that day.

01:46:11.000 That's when you hit the X button.

01:46:13.000 Doubt.

01:46:14.000 Three fingers that day.

01:46:17.000 All terrible.

01:46:18.000 We all agree, of course, that any Capitol police killed.

01:46:21.000 What does this have to do with Donald Trump?

01:46:24.000 And again, he's a private citizen, so if they wanted to press criminal charges, guess what?

01:46:30.000 The burden of proof is higher, and there's discovery.

01:46:33.000 That's why they ain't gonna pursue it, man. 1.00

01:46:35.000 That's all bullshit. 0.98

01:46:36.000 Remember, Lindsey Graham said, if they really want to call everyone as witnesses, I don't think they're gonna like how that one turns out. 0.99

01:46:41.000 Because this was obviously, the FBI said this was planned before Donald Trump spoke.

01:46:46.000 And that's why they're trying to bring up tweets, which include the words, peacefully and patriotically.

01:46:51.000 Yeah.

01:46:52.000 Well, if it was planned before he spoke, well, okay.

01:46:55.000 Then none of his tweets matter from that day, other than obviously telling people to go home.

01:46:59.000 Fine.

01:46:59.000 But none of his speech matters that day because it was planned before they got there and it didn't matter what they heard.

01:47:03.000 They were going to do what they were going to do.

01:47:04.000 So let's bring up the evidence from before.

01:47:06.000 Tell us what he said before that was inciting violence.

01:47:08.000 Right.

01:47:08.000 Because all he said was it's fair to question an election that has irregularities.

01:47:13.000 It's fair for me to go, hey, I only lost by 10,000 votes.

01:47:16.000 I am sure we can find 12,000 people that voted illegally in Georgia, which is basically what he was saying on the phone to the Georgia Secretary of State, saying, hey, help me out here.

01:47:24.000 Do the right thing.

01:47:25.000 Don't turn the election for me.

01:47:27.000 But make sure they're counted fairly.

01:47:29.000 Saying, count the paper ballots.

01:47:30.000 Yeah.

01:47:31.000 Which they did not.

01:47:32.000 Exactly.

01:47:32.000 And everybody wants to hang him for that phone call, and it's like saying, oh, he was trying to overturn a fair election.

01:47:37.000 By the way, do you see fair election every time they talk about the election?

01:47:40.000 Fair election.

01:47:41.000 They were saying a fair election on November 2nd.

01:47:43.000 Hey, let me ask you about this.

01:47:45.000 I don't know if I can pay for this.

01:47:46.000 Hey, could the Dominion voting machines be hooked up to the internet?

01:47:50.000 We were told They were not capable, it was not possible for them to be hooked up to the internet, right?

01:47:54.000 That's the claim.

01:47:55.000 Now, I'm not saying that they were hooked up to the internet the whole time.

01:47:57.000 That's something I can't verify.

01:47:58.000 That's why people were saying, well, why don't you... Listen, all I'm saying is that Mike Lindell, for example, has gone out with claims that I couldn't possibly verify, and so I won't make those claims.

01:48:06.000 I won't make those claims, I would have to go to court.

01:48:08.000 Here's something that I can 100% verify.

01:48:11.000 Dominion said, and still says, that their machines, the voting tabulation machines, don't hook up to the Internet.

01:48:17.000 They do.

01:48:18.000 Except for the Ethernet port in the back.

01:48:19.000 Right.

01:48:19.000 We don't know where they were hooked up, we don't know how long they were hooked up, but there are still official statements out there saying they cannot be hooked up to the Internet.

01:48:27.000 Okay, what's going on right now?

01:48:27.000 Are they taking a break?

01:48:30.000 Okay.

01:48:30.000 Hold on.

01:48:31.000 Okay, so she's talking.

01:48:32.000 Alright, so listen.

01:52:23.000 What's the origin of mulligan and is it anti-Irish?

01:52:25.000 they're just saying we should just give him a pass for this one thing.

01:52:29.000 A mulligan.

01:52:30.000 That's just literally one Republican Senator Mike Lee called it a mulligan.

01:52:35.000 Let's just move forward.

01:52:37.000 They keep talking about this idea of unity.

01:52:40.000 What's the origin of mulligan and is it anti-Irish?

01:52:42.000 Is she talking sense?

01:52:45.000 Jamie Raskin and other impeachment managers are put on the table today that is it doesn't

01:52:50.000 require you to be a lawyer or an attorney to understand.

01:52:53.000 It is that if you are the president of the United States, if there is such a giant loophole

01:52:58.000 in the Constitution that allows you to get away with whatever you want in the final weeks

01:53:03.000 of your term.

01:53:06.000 That is something that is a profound problem for this country.

01:53:10.000 No.

01:53:10.000 He has not got away with anything.

01:53:13.000 Y'all have actually con...trucked him with stuff he didn't do.

01:53:16.000 Yeah.

01:53:16.000 No, I know.

01:53:17.000 Made up extra stuff.

01:53:18.000 Hold on.

01:53:18.000 The point she's making here is that all presidents can just do anything they want the final couple weeks.

01:53:22.000 You have a criminal system!

01:53:25.000 That is the next step.

01:53:26.000 The only thing that you have to do.

01:53:27.000 So tell me, the president commits murder and he's impeached.

01:53:31.000 And you're like, ha ha!

01:53:32.000 We've done our job.

01:53:33.000 He can't run for office again.

01:53:34.000 Is that where it stops?

01:53:35.000 No.

01:53:35.000 You would charge him with a crime and try to put him in prison.

01:53:37.000 That's what you should do right now if you are so confident and you think it is so important that a president can't act outside the concerns of the American people in the last two weeks.

01:53:45.000 put him in prison then. Well this accomplishes their goal twofold okay so they don't have to go

01:53:49.000 to a criminal court and that's important because in a criminal court would be a first amendment

01:53:53.000 issue right people say well you can't yell fire in a crowded theater well okay of course you can

01:53:57.000 yell fire in a crowded theater if there's actually a fire yeah exactly the problem is lying and

01:54:01.000 encouraging people to acts of violence so they would have to prove in a criminal court that he

01:54:05.000 deliberately knowingly incited and encouraged people to commit acts of violence which of course

01:54:09.000 would be very difficult to prove considering that he repeatedly said peacefully and patriotically

01:54:13.000 so they know that they wouldn't have any standing so what they can do to the american public however

01:54:18.000 who don't understand what is going on they can present this to them as though it's some kind

01:54:22.000 of a criminal charge the impeachment process and at the same time make you scared to speak out

01:54:28.000 right this Because what does this say?

01:54:30.000 If any of you think, hold on a second, did my vote really count?

01:54:34.000 You're inciting violence.

01:54:35.000 That's what they want you to think.

01:54:36.000 They want you to be afraid to speak up.

01:54:39.000 By the way, I still don't know what happened with my family's votes in Michigan.

01:54:42.000 We talked about that?

01:54:43.000 Yeah, we did.

01:54:43.000 It's a big mystery.

01:54:44.000 We didn't always get an answer.

01:54:45.000 No.

01:54:46.000 You should be getting an answer.

01:54:47.000 That's inciting violence, I guess.

01:54:48.000 It says my wife didn't vote.

01:54:53.000 And she did.

01:54:54.000 Or my grandmother.

01:54:55.000 I don't know.

01:54:55.000 There was one we got an answer on, and then there was one that we didn't, because I have a lot of relatives in Michigan.

01:54:59.000 I think, is there something that we have half-Asian Bill Richman, is it half-Asian Bill Richman has something he wants to talk about?

01:55:05.000 Alright, listen, we have a few more chats from my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman here, because he's going to answer some of your, why are you laughing?

01:55:12.000 Can you call me half-black? 0.97

01:55:14.000 No, I can't call you half-black, because you're more than half-black. 1.00

01:55:21.000 I don't know, but you're drunk. 0.99

01:55:22.000 You make me nervous.

01:55:23.000 My great-great-grandfather was whitest from Ireland.

01:55:26.000 Real?

01:55:26.000 Can you call me half-black?

01:55:28.000 Half-Irish. 0.99

01:55:28.000 But together, you're full black. 0.99

01:55:30.000 Yeah. 0.96

01:55:30.000 Together, you make up 100% black. 0.96

01:55:31.000 You count as one black man and one white man. 0.76

01:55:33.000 Can we just ignore the white part? 0.89

01:55:34.000 I got the DNA results, man.

01:55:36.000 Yeah, didn't it say we're like 56% black?

01:55:38.000 Yeah.

01:55:38.000 54.

01:55:39.000 That's more than half!

01:55:41.000 Hey, take the extra 2%.

01:55:43.000 That's for you.

01:55:44.000 That's more than Elizabeth Warren was. 0.99

01:55:46.000 Didn't stop her from going on ayahuasca trips.

01:55:48.000 I kind of like being black, too.

01:55:50.000 It's got this kind of stigma to it.

01:55:55.000 You guys can get away with a lot.

01:55:56.000 Use it.

01:55:56.000 Get away with it.

01:55:57.000 If I were you, I would just all the time be taking stuff, telling white people they're racist, that they stop me.

01:56:00.000 Reparations. 0.55

01:56:01.000 I'd be much better off, man, honestly, if I was white. 0.78

01:56:06.000 What are you talking about? 0.98

01:56:06.000 These black people won't be attacking me in my interview. 0.98

01:56:08.000 Oh yeah, that's true. 0.99

01:56:09.000 I guess you're saying you're more afraid of black people than white people. 0.61

01:56:13.000 If I was 51% white, I'd be cool right now.

01:56:15.000 Yeah, I don't really know if that's the case.

01:56:16.000 Hey, why don't y'all give him beer?

01:56:19.000 When I drink, I turn into Socrates, man.

01:56:24.000 Really?

01:56:25.000 Hold on a second.

01:56:27.000 You mean Socrates the ancient philosopher, not the rapper?

01:56:29.000 Yeah.

01:56:30.000 I feel like there probably is a rapper who's also named Socrates.

01:56:32.000 All right, listen, really quickly, because I have to go alleviate knee pressure right now.

01:56:35.000 I'm getting tapped.

01:56:36.000 My lawyer, Bill Hirschman, is going to come in to take some of your legal chats.

01:56:39.000 Here he is.

01:56:40.000 You know that sound!

01:56:46.000 That music is iconic.

01:56:48.000 Thank you.

01:56:48.000 You know what's iconic?

01:56:50.000 It's three Halsey's all in a row.

01:56:52.000 You know what?

01:56:53.000 Three Halsey models, and most importantly, we're not a quarter like... or...

01:56:59.000 There's two quarters up there in the production booth.

01:57:02.000 Three halves is over here.

01:57:03.000 You gotta be at least half to get down here.

01:57:05.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.99

01:57:06.000 Look, I don't even want your crap. 0.99

01:57:07.000 I don't want your seat. 0.99

01:57:07.000 I'm sitting over here. 0.99

01:57:08.000 Why do you think we busted Steven's knee?

01:57:09.000 He's got half a good set of knees.

01:57:11.000 That's true.

01:57:11.000 It was a Tonya Harding incident for sure.

01:57:12.000 Otherwise he wasn't gonna be Nancy Kerrigan.

01:57:15.000 I'm just kidding. 1.00

01:57:16.000 I want your crap. 0.99

01:57:17.000 When he was in the middle of doing it. 1.00

01:57:20.000 What you didn't see was me behind him pulling the rug as he went to kick.

01:57:23.000 Did y'all laugh at that photo?

01:57:25.000 Yeah.

01:57:25.000 Are you kidding?

01:57:28.000 I was like, this is so messed up, but I just thought it was funny.

01:57:31.000 I love the little motion.

01:57:32.000 Yeah, the motion.

01:57:33.000 His face!

01:57:34.000 It was...

01:57:37.000 Every time he doesn't call you half-black, that's why you guys are like, oh, this is the moment. 1.00

01:57:41.000 He's got payback. 0.86

01:57:42.000 It's my time to burst.

01:57:43.000 Got him.

01:57:44.000 Alright, well we've got a couple more legal questions.

01:57:46.000 I definitely want our Hodge twins to get in there and answer some of these as well.

01:57:51.000 Can I turn the questions to y'all first?

01:57:53.000 I'm going to give you my unprofessional legal advice.

01:57:56.000 Perfect.

01:57:56.000 Okay, first question from Kim.

01:57:58.000 I have asked this a few times and never gotten a clear answer.

01:58:02.000 What is the difference between overthrowing a tyrannical government and insurrection?

01:58:06.000 Alright, Kim, Chloe, which one of you wants to answer?

01:58:09.000 Can you read that one more time?

01:58:10.000 Yeah, read it slower, too.

01:58:11.000 I have asked this a few times and I've never gotten a clear answer.

01:58:15.000 What is the difference between overthrowing a tyrannical government and insurrection?

01:58:21.000 Ooh, that's a good one.

01:58:22.000 I'm gonna have to pass that to somebody else.

01:58:24.000 A tyrannical government is a corrupt government.

01:58:27.000 I mean, if citizens are opposing a tyrannical government to overturn because what they're doing is illegal and is corrupt, that's justified and everybody's eyes are right.

01:58:38.000 Insurrection is you don't have justification to do what you're doing.

01:58:42.000 You just simply disagree.

01:58:44.000 You're doing it against the law.

01:58:46.000 Your government has not been proven to be tyrannical. 1.00

01:58:50.000 Shut up. 0.99

01:58:51.000 Why don't y'all give him beer, man? 1.00

01:58:54.000 More beer.

01:58:55.000 Her question was this.

01:58:57.000 Anybody can have an insurrection.

01:58:59.000 It depends on if the insurrection is justified, if the government is tyrannical.

01:59:03.000 But who says, who qualifies the government as being tyrannical or not?

01:59:07.000 I know.

01:59:08.000 Just the big people?

01:59:09.000 So really the answer to the question has to be it depends on if you win or not.

01:59:12.000 So certainly the answer could be, there's no right answer.

01:59:16.000 So I apologize for posing a question.

01:59:18.000 Well if the government is tyrannical, it's going around killing people.

01:59:21.000 Then an insurrection is needed.

01:59:23.000 An insurrection is needed.

01:59:24.000 Yeah, but what if the government is saying the people that we're killing are actually people that are committing crimes to try to overthrow the government and so therefore our actions are justified?

01:59:31.000 Yeah.

01:59:32.000 Okay, let's take a vote.

01:59:33.000 Who wants to punch Gerald in the face?

01:59:38.000 No, no, no.

01:59:39.000 So, Gerald, you raise a really good point, which is the subjective nature of this question, and really what it comes down to, in my personal view, that there is no difference between overthrowing a tyrannical government and insurrection, because by saying, I am going to overthrow a tyrannical government, you are saying, I no longer want to follow the laws that you have set out, because a higher power is telling me that these things are wrong, whether it's human rights, whether it's you know, American values, whether it's, you know,

02:00:04.000 God and biblical values or whatever it may be. But you have to acknowledge that

02:00:08.000 you are willing to break the law of the land in order to overthrow the government. That's why by

02:00:12.000 definition overthrowing tyrannical government

02:00:14.000 is insurrection, at least in my book. It is, yes.

02:00:17.000 Okay, so the next question is from Stormy Shores, a big fan of Donald J. Trump.

02:00:24.000 The question, at LWC, will they have to prove that the people who actually breached the Capitol actually were Trump supporters?

02:00:32.000 How can they do that when there were confirmed BLM and known Antifa people arrested, as well as press inside?

02:00:40.000 Okay, do you guys want to take a shot?

02:00:42.000 I mean, they made an arrest.

02:00:43.000 The dude was known, Antifa, Black Lives Matter supporter, but I mean, a majority of those people that... They were Trump supporters.

02:00:53.000 But only takes when, if you can read all the philosophy books, they say whenever you have an insurrection, it only takes one bad apple to destroy the whole bunch.

02:01:01.000 So I think the majority of those people were actually Trump supporters.

02:01:03.000 Yeah, and it's too much footage of them just doing stuff they shouldn't have been doing.

02:01:08.000 Right, and so my thought on this is the act of proving that they actually were Trump supporters is irrelevant.

02:01:15.000 Whether they were Trump supporters or not Trump supporters is irrelevant to the question of did the president incite people to jump in?

02:01:24.000 Oh, Gerald got smart!

02:01:26.000 Funny.

02:01:27.000 Good looking.

02:01:28.000 The computer wore tennis shoes today.

02:01:29.000 Nice.

02:01:30.000 So, you know, when you look at if there's BLM, Antifa, are those folks in there?

02:01:34.000 That is actually evidence that there was not an incitement because you have folks who were in there not at the president's behest. 0.99

02:01:41.000 They were in there because they just wanted to do some bad shit. 0.95

02:01:45.000 And similarly, when you look at the number of folks... These are legal terms. 0.99

02:01:47.000 We need not concern ourselves with them.

02:01:48.000 Well, they're in the statutes.

02:01:50.000 Did you look at all the statutes?

02:01:51.000 I did.

02:01:51.000 You didn't look at all the statutes?

02:01:52.000 I did.

02:01:52.000 I thought that said defecation.

02:01:54.000 Baloney. 0.88

02:01:54.000 Oh, I'm sorry. 0.88

02:01:56.000 Malarkey!

02:01:57.000 Malarkey.

02:01:57.000 Okay, so, if a person, like, think of all the people who are outside of the Capitol.

02:02:02.000 Think of all the people who never even made it onto the Capitol grounds.

02:02:04.000 Right.

02:02:04.000 Maybe they were or they weren't Trump supporters.

02:02:06.000 Probably a lot of them were.

02:02:07.000 But the difference about why people went inside, that's really what this comes down to, is what were the people doing inside and were they incited by the words of the President when he said, Go home.

02:02:18.000 I think that's fair.

02:02:19.000 going to try and claim that right because they know depending on the prosecutor if it

02:02:22.000 actually comes down to them and criminal charges if it's a left leaning prosecutor they can

02:02:25.000 say Donald Trump made me do it so then doesn't there have to be some kind of standard of

02:02:29.000 proof of what did Donald Trump yeah yeah Kevin or Keith?

02:02:32.000 Can I say something?

02:02:33.000 I agree.

02:02:33.000 I think it's very important to determine if they are Trump supporters or not.

02:02:37.000 I agree.

02:02:38.000 Everything they label about the insurrection is Trump's insurrection.

02:02:41.000 If they can find out that a lot of people are not actually Trump supporters, this could

02:02:46.000 throw their whole narrative.

02:02:49.000 It's certainly relevant because if someone was not a Trump supporter, if they were an

02:02:52.000 Antifa member and they were in there, then the idea that Trump caused them to be in the

02:02:57.000 Capitol and to cause destruction goes right out the window for that individual.

02:03:01.000 So that's why it's certainly relevant.

02:03:03.000 But here's the thing.

02:03:04.000 Think about all the arguments we're making right now.

02:03:06.000 They're about whether or not a crime occurred.

02:03:09.000 The drunk guy had another question.

02:03:10.000 Go ahead.

02:03:10.000 Yes, sir.

02:03:11.000 I'm telling you, when y'all give me that bill, man, I turn to Socrates.

02:03:13.000 You're too lean.

02:03:14.000 It goes straight to your head.

02:03:16.000 If you find that, say, one third of the bunch was Was not actual Trump supporters and you combine that with the fact that you see police officers waving people in.

02:03:26.000 It looks more like a conspiracy by the Democrats to say that this was a Trump insurrection when it was when they actually planned not securing the building properly and waving people in and putting people inside that to pose as Trump supporters.

02:03:41.000 Yeah, even if that was the case, Trump supporters were like, yeah!

02:03:44.000 You're right!

02:03:45.000 Let's go in!

02:03:46.000 And this is why I think it's relevant, but it's certainly not a determinative fact.

02:03:50.000 If someone was a Trump supporter and they did something inside the building that was unlawful, the question is, did they do the unlawful thing because Trump incited them to do it?

02:03:59.000 And that's where I think, and even all of the folks in the commentators on the left are saying, I don't think the evidence is quite there, and we haven't even gotten to the evidence yet.

02:04:08.000 That's because there is no evidence.

02:04:10.000 Well, I don't like your facts.

02:04:11.000 I don't like my facts either, but you know, this is one of those cases where maybe evidence could actually be admitted.

02:04:16.000 I'm looking at you, Georgia.

02:04:21.000 I'm looking at you, Wisconsin.

02:04:23.000 If you want to tell us there's more to your state than cheese, then give us something more than cheese. 0.91

02:04:28.000 Hang him for jabs. 0.72

02:04:29.000 Oh wow, that's loud. 0.98

02:04:32.000 Oh my goodness.

02:04:33.000 You're going to see a lot of this coming up over the next two days.

02:04:36.000 We get to the 16 hours on each side about who was actually there, why were they there, and were they let in, and what did they do, and what caused them to do the actual bad act. 0.99

02:04:45.000 Was it because they thought, oh, Donald Trump told me to smash this window in, go into Pelosi's office, and take a shit in the top drawer? 0.99

02:04:53.000 I just don't think I saw that in Trump's speech. 0.99

02:04:55.000 See, that would be worth the impeachment.

02:04:57.000 Well, if someone took a dump in the top drawer, where she hides her indentured servants. 1.00

02:05:02.000 I mean, the worst part is he opens the drawer to do it, and he's like, it's already full of shit. 0.99

02:05:08.000 What am I doing here? 0.99

02:05:09.000 That's my third deep freezer with ice cream.

02:05:12.000 Well, this whole, like, if this was a criminal...

02:05:15.000 Yeah.

02:05:16.000 they wouldn't be showing this footage over and over and always kind of be like inciting

02:05:20.000 violence or inciting injury because they like like if we were in a murder trial and they

02:05:24.000 keep constantly consistently talking about how the victim the person who died how she

02:05:28.000 suffered if they keep saying that over and over.

02:05:30.000 Because of copycat killers.

02:05:31.000 Yeah.

02:05:32.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:05:33.000 You don't want copycat assholes with a capital. 0.99

02:05:34.000 Well and here's here's the focus is again it's what did these individuals do. 0.98

02:05:38.000 And let's say of however many, a couple hundred people who got inside the Capitol itself, let's say of those about half committed a crime.

02:05:44.000 Because actually being in the Capitol, if you were invited in, remember, there was press that was invited into the building, on camera, showing their press pass, being said, come on in, come on in.

02:05:54.000 We've seen the videos of different people being let into different areas, and we know without a doubt, some people committed of analysm. And then some of the original footage from

02:06:01.000 Elijah Schaeffer was removed. Exactly. When he was in there. That's the problem. It's they want control

02:06:06.000 over the narrative. They want only their press to be in. They don't want citizen journalists 0.81

02:06:09.000 to be in. And that's why the guy who's on that board behind you, Andrew Breitbart, he said,

02:06:13.000 I remember the speech, the Tea Party speech, he said, everybody hold up your phone. He said, you

02:06:18.000 are all now journalists. And that was the shot heard around the world where everyone at CNN

02:06:21.000 and mainstream institutions.

02:06:22.000 It took them a few years, but they said, oh, we got to make sure we got to make sure this doesn't happen because now we have competition and we have competition with people who might actually tell the truth.

02:06:31.000 Right.

02:06:32.000 And being able to have that democratization of who's actually got the cameras, it's no longer $10,000 systems held by one or two or three news stations.

02:06:39.000 And that's all you've got on the tube.

02:06:41.000 You've got a lot of other folks who are on the ground being able to create the kind of evidence.

02:06:44.000 Why did they invite people in?

02:06:45.000 It only took less than 24 hours for folks to start seeing those videos of people being let in and and that's

02:06:51.000 ultimately the question Did did Trump incite the Capitol Police to have a small

02:06:54.000 force that invited people into parts of the building?

02:06:57.000 Did they did did President Trump?

02:06:59.000 Why did they invite?

02:07:00.000 Buffalo man did they give any argument as to why they invited people in or is it just because it's the People's

02:07:04.000 House and people Are always invited in we haven't heard

02:07:07.000 We haven't heard from these Capitol Police to be able to talk about it.

02:07:09.000 I have to think that, you know, the majority of cops are conservative.

02:07:12.000 They probably disagree with what's going on too, so they just waved them in.

02:07:15.000 Well, part of the question would be is these are areas that are actually usually open to the public.

02:07:20.000 So, you know, if you don't have a clear instruction, imagine this is how it goes.

02:07:26.000 Oh, hey, we need to make sure that dangerous crowds don't get onto the Capitol grounds.

02:07:30.000 And you're a cop and you've got a bunch of, you know, old people and like, you know, randos who are like, I think they're pretty loose with letting people in. 1.00

02:07:37.000 Congress no, you know, we want to go on the grounds and they're like, well, my

02:07:40.000 instructions don't say I can't let you on.

02:07:43.000 We just have these barricades and I guess it's not that big of a deal.

02:07:45.000 Yeah, yeah.

02:07:46.000 Come on in.

02:07:46.000 Yeah.

02:07:47.000 I don't understand how they was totally not prepared for this event.

02:07:50.000 Well, you know what?

02:07:51.000 I think they're pretty loose with letting people in.

02:07:53.000 I saw schoolhouse rock.

02:07:55.000 They let some guy in dressed up as a bill. 0.96

02:07:57.000 It was ridiculous. 0.99

02:07:58.000 He was horrendously unstable. 0.99

02:07:59.000 Exactly. 1.00

02:08:00.000 Oh, I hope and pray that I will, but today I'm going to kill Bill. 1.00

02:08:05.000 Wait, hold on a second. 1.00

02:08:06.000 You're going to kill Representative Bill? 0.88

02:08:09.000 Oh, yes! 0.98

02:08:10.000 I mean, they're going to say that.

02:08:12.000 They're going to start saying that. 0.99

02:08:13.000 We'll be like, oh, we're going to kill this Bill. 0.98

02:08:14.000 What are you doing?

02:08:15.000 You're going to kill the bill on the Senate floor?

02:08:15.000 What's wrong with you?

02:08:17.000 Who's going to kill the bill?

02:08:18.000 That's terrible.

02:08:18.000 That's horrible.

02:08:19.000 And then they're going to say, Quentin Tarantino, we need to impeach you.

02:08:21.000 He's like, I wouldn't even be president.

02:08:24.000 You have the twisted face you deserve, Quentin Tarantino. 0.97

02:08:26.000 That's the face of an evil man.

02:08:27.000 You're in defeats. 1.00

02:08:29.000 A gross man. 0.57

02:08:30.000 So one other point I saw was a question we had on Twitter was about some of the language actually in Article 1 that relates to who can try.

02:08:38.000 So let me just Let me just be very clear.

02:08:39.000 Section 2 of Article 1 of the Constitution says the House is the sole power of impeachment.

02:08:44.000 Right.

02:08:44.000 Section 3 says the Senate is the one who tries all the impeachments.

02:08:48.000 It then goes on to say in one of the clauses right before Section 4 that when the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside.

02:08:58.000 So that's where there's this just lack of clarity as to who's supposed to be presiding at this particular moment.

02:09:04.000 And this is that contradiction you pointed out earlier.

02:09:06.000 Well, wait a minute.

02:09:07.000 If you guys are saying this is just a continuation of an impeachment, that's why we can impeach a non-officer holder, then you have to still follow the rules and you should have had Chief Justice Roberts.

02:09:17.000 I'm actually kind of concerned by your laziness that he's representing me.

02:09:19.000 You forgot the subclause that says, or Patrick Leahy.

02:09:22.000 Well, he is a very old man.

02:09:26.000 Provided that he's over the age of 90 and won't be able to appear due to health reasons,

02:09:30.000 will allow an exception.

02:09:32.000 This whole thing, I mean, is this something, does Big Tech ban us if we say this is a sham?

02:09:35.000 I mean, that's a sham when you go, you're not even following your own rules.

02:09:38.000 They want to bend the rules, they want to bend the rules as to even setting the rules

02:09:42.000 and what happens with Congress.

02:09:43.000 Then they want to bend the rules when it comes to the Senate. 0.97

02:09:45.000 They want to bend the rules when they see who's presiding.

02:09:47.000 And now we have someone who is, like you said, he is a witness, Patrick Leahy, a witness, a juror, and a judge, and this is a guy who of course perpetuated the false narrative that Donald Trump was a secret Russian foreign agent.

02:09:59.000 Patrick Leahy's pretty high up on the DNC totem pole.

02:10:02.000 How did he not know about the Steele dossier?

02:10:03.000 How did he not know about Fusion GPS, right? 1.00

02:10:05.000 Are we supposed to believe that they're all so stupid they don't know that that was planned from the beginning and they were the ones who should be held accountable for colluding with foreign powers? 0.99

02:10:14.000 Patrick Leahy shouldn't be serving in any capacity to the Democrat Party. 1.00

02:10:19.000 He should recuse himself.

02:10:20.000 Well, you know, all of this, the fact that there are so many questions surrounding this is what I think, when you step back, all of those questions raise the ultimate question, which is, what in the F are we doing right now?

02:10:31.000 Why are we in this procedure?

02:10:32.000 Why are we doing what we're doing right now, given everything that's happening in the world and in the country?

02:10:37.000 Why are we doing this?

02:10:37.000 This is like a Pennsylvania Redux of changing the rules.

02:10:41.000 So much unity.

02:10:42.000 All right, I'm out of here.

02:10:43.000 I hate the word unity.

02:10:44.000 Every time we say unity, it makes me upset.

02:10:46.000 Unity, unity, unity!

02:10:51.000 That song is iconic.

02:10:59.000 I think a majority of problems is wrong with this country.

02:11:01.000 You could look at one party.

02:11:04.000 Bruce Castor Jr.

02:11:05.000 Okay, let's see what he's saying right now.

02:11:07.000 Something really bad happened and that is a natural reaction of human beings.

02:11:14.000 It's a natural reaction of human beings because we are generally a social people.

02:11:21.000 We enjoy being around one another.

02:11:24.000 Meh.

02:11:25.000 Even in DC.

02:11:26.000 Debatable.

02:11:28.000 We recognize that people all the world over, and especially Americans who share that special bond with one another, love the freedoms that this country gives us.

02:11:41.000 And we all feel that if somebody is unsafe when they're walking down the

02:11:48.000 street that the next person that's unsafe could be you, your spouse, one of your children.

02:11:53.000 I don't think any of us feel unsafe outside of a, you know, going to places like Baltimore and Detroit and, you know,

02:11:58.000 New York City.

02:11:58.000 So you'll never hear anyone.

02:12:01.000 Liberal cities, yeah, pretty much.

02:12:02.000 You see the skyrocketing crime wave here this year?

02:12:06.000 Yeah.

02:12:06.000 Record high homicides.

02:12:07.000 They're setting records.

02:12:08.000 And again, you can see throughout all of Donald Trump's presidency, consistently, it was going down until the moment that the riots hit.

02:12:14.000 And that's something nobody wants to talk about either.

02:12:16.000 They want to tell you it's all because of COVID.

02:12:17.000 Look, listen.

02:12:18.000 There may be some petty crimes that are being committed because people are bored with COVID, but there isn't a scourge of first-time homicidal maniacs.

02:12:27.000 No.

02:12:28.000 What's happened is you have people who are in neighborhoods where there's a reduced police presence.

02:12:31.000 They feel as though they have carte blanche to go around and intimidate people who live in those neighborhoods.

02:12:35.000 Ironically, the people who Democrats usually claim to want to help, impoverished neighborhoods, neighborhoods of color.

02:12:40.000 And so now you have repeat offenders who are committing crime without any concern for repercussions.

02:12:45.000 They're acting like politicians almost!

02:12:47.000 Yeah, absolutely.

02:12:48.000 And by the way, he was showing so much concern for the next person, right?

02:12:51.000 Whoever the next person could be, except when it was probably Rand Paul.

02:12:55.000 Actually, unlike AOC, in the midst of a mob that wanted to kill him most likely, they had to be protected by police, and his wife and his family were threatened with no guarantee that they would be just fine.

02:13:06.000 And you know the people who started that, right?

02:13:08.000 The BLM protesters, and Antifa, and Maxine Waters supporting them, and Kamala Harris.

02:13:12.000 Like, we didn't go after them.

02:13:13.000 We didn't say, hey guys, you incited violence, and Rand Paul almost paid, potentially, physically, with his life.

02:13:19.000 He's already been the victim of one tragedy before.

02:13:21.000 We need not make him a victim of another. 1.00

02:13:22.000 He got his ass kicked by his neighbor, too, right? 1.00

02:13:24.000 Well, that's probably true, too. 1.00

02:13:25.000 Yeah.

02:13:26.000 Why?

02:13:27.000 Because he's Rand Paul.

02:13:28.000 Yeah.

02:13:29.000 It's just too nice.

02:13:30.000 That hairstyle just sets people off. 1.00

02:13:32.000 This is some guy like, hey, you look like a damn toilet hairbrush. 1.00

02:13:34.000 What? 1.00

02:13:34.000 Bam! 1.00

02:13:35.000 Bam! 0.98

02:13:36.000 Well, listen, you could say that about maybe some other toilet brush head, but not me.

02:13:42.000 Not me, man.

02:13:43.000 Not me.

02:13:44.000 On really the unconstitutionality of your fist as it enters my facial cavity.

02:13:50.000 I love Rand Paul.

02:13:52.000 I love Rand Paul.

02:13:53.000 I just wish he didn't come across so catty.

02:13:57.000 Like a lover scorned.

02:13:58.000 Like, you expect Rand Paul to show up, and you show up like, what's cooking?

02:14:01.000 And he's just boiling your pet rabbit like, well, you told me you loved me, but it turns out that your wife's more important than me.

02:14:08.000 And by the way, just so you know, I know this guy's probably making the case for Donald Trump, but I know every one of, he was setting them up with that line like, you guys are fearing that you could be next, right?

02:14:18.000 Alright, let's hear what he has to say.

02:14:19.000 Let's hear what his defense is.

02:14:24.000 Your wife can testify to what you said, because even though it's technically hearsay, it's an exception because it's the event living through the person.

02:14:33.000 Why?

02:14:34.000 No opportunity for reflective thought.

02:14:38.000 There's all sorts of examples that we recognize in the law for why people immediately desire Are you going somewhere with this?

02:15:00.000 It's being dramatic.

02:15:02.000 He's like the public defender in My Cousin Vinny.

02:15:06.000 I'm doing better!

02:15:11.000 Just pray to God his hair dye doesn't run down his face.

02:15:14.000 That was crazy, man.

02:15:17.000 This dude is sweating black. 0.98

02:15:18.000 They're scaring the black out of him. 0.96

02:15:22.000 I saw that and I was like, oh my God.

02:15:23.000 Is that his hair dye?

02:15:26.000 In suburban Philadelphia, my parents were big fans of Senator Everett Dirksen from Illinois.

02:15:34.000 And Senator Dirksen recorded a series of lectures that my parents had on a record.

02:15:43.000 And we still know what records are, right?

02:15:47.000 On the thing you put the needle down on and play. 0.99

02:15:49.000 Okay, shut up. 1.00

02:15:50.000 Oh man, you suck. 1.00

02:15:52.000 Can somebody storm the building just to take him out of there? 1.00

02:15:55.000 Don't actually do it, though.

02:15:57.000 Don't actually do it.

02:15:59.000 In Minecraft, do it.

02:16:00.000 Just skitballs.

02:16:02.000 It's the most commanding, gravelly voice that just oozes belief and sincerity.

02:16:12.000 Must have been a phenomenal United States Senator.

02:16:16.000 I don't call this debate.

02:16:18.000 No, no, no. 0.99

02:16:19.000 When your anecdote is longer than your argument, you're a crappy lawyer.

02:16:24.000 It's like, I knew this one lady who used to always like, she would go, she would say, oh, well, I guess I'm kind of going down a rabbit trail, but you know, Andy. 0.88

02:16:32.000 And then I'd be like, no, I don't.

02:16:33.000 And she would continue down the rabbit trail.

02:16:35.000 Typically, when you say, I guess this is kind of a rabbit trail, you have the common courtesy of allowing said person to get off of the rabbit trail.

02:16:44.000 Yeah, you pivot.

02:16:45.000 But it was like torture for her.

02:16:46.000 She was trying to tell you, look down there.

02:16:49.000 It's a rabbit trail.

02:16:50.000 Guess where we're going.

02:16:51.000 You're like, no, no, not another one.

02:16:54.000 I guess it's a rabbit trail.

02:16:55.000 Let's go.

02:16:56.000 It's like this guy stepped us through a cosmic space hole of unfunny, uninteresting, and untalented.

02:17:03.000 You could do that.

02:17:05.000 They're just men and women like you are.

02:17:07.000 His suit hasn't been tailored.

02:17:09.000 Well, then Everett Dirksen tells us that they're not.

02:17:11.000 He went and said, uh, can you give me the Gomez Adams look? 0.99

02:17:15.000 That shit like a blanket on him. 1.00

02:17:18.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:17:18.000 When they're country. 1.00

02:17:19.000 He's got a burrow chest, I don't know.

02:17:21.000 He was in a Kings of Comedy phase.

02:17:23.000 He had the worst suits.

02:17:25.000 There's a little big JCPenney suits.

02:17:30.000 I have been around United States Senators before.

02:17:33.000 Two of them in this room from Pennsylvania, I like to think, are friendly toward me, or at least friends of mine, when we're not politically adverse.

02:17:43.000 Hey! 0.99

02:17:43.000 No one cares! 0.99

02:17:45.000 Right.

02:17:45.000 Get to the point!

02:17:46.000 And I have been around their predecessors, and one thing I have discovered, whether it be Democrats or Republicans, United States Senators are patriots first.

02:18:01.000 Well that's not true.

02:18:02.000 Patriots first.

02:18:03.000 That's absolutely not true.

02:18:04.000 Patently false.

02:18:05.000 They're lazy public taxpayer teatsucklers first. 0.96

02:18:09.000 Self-interest seekers first.

02:18:11.000 Self-interest seekers first.

02:18:12.000 There isn't a member in this room who has not used the term, I represent the great state of fill-in-the-blank.

02:18:23.000 That's because they have to.

02:18:23.000 Why?

02:18:24.000 Because they're part of the job.

02:18:26.000 And I'm willing to bet.

02:18:28.000 This is just an aside here.

02:18:30.000 You all took an oath.

02:18:33.000 Leave! 0.99

02:18:35.000 Leave us now! 1.00

02:18:37.000 He's supposed to be making the case for Donald Trump, I think.

02:18:39.000 It says former President Trump.

02:18:41.000 Oh, okay, so he is his current lawyer.

02:18:43.000 I thought it was former lawyer, which I was like, oh thank God.

02:18:47.000 Nope, nope, this is our defense.

02:18:49.000 There's no way this guy has ever had a conversation with Donald Trump.

02:18:52.000 There's no way he held President Donald Trump's attention.

02:18:56.000 Donald Trump's like, tweeting, eh, whatever.

02:18:58.000 Yeah, totally paying attention.

02:19:00.000 Mr. Trump, what are you doing? 0.99

02:19:02.000 I'm tweeting how much this conversation sucks. 0.98

02:19:05.000 I heard Trump's on Gab now. 0.98

02:19:07.000 You'd get on anything to get away from this guy.

02:19:09.000 guy.

02:19:31.000 Not so much.

02:19:32.000 This sounds like a guy who would be teaching Sunday school right before he touches me.

02:19:35.000 They absolutely feel that connection of pride.

02:19:38.000 Terrible.

02:19:39.000 I'm probably pissed at.

02:19:39.000 That's the only time I called that.

02:19:41.000 My senator screwed me! 0.94

02:19:41.000 Right? 0.94

02:19:41.000 me of Pennsylvania. That's my senator from Pennsylvania. I'm probably pissed at 0.94

02:19:46.000 that's the only time I called that my senator screwed me right like come on 0.68

02:19:52.000 when people are calling their representatives yeah yeah why would you 0.98

02:19:55.000 like because my senator sucks yeah it's like yeah hello yeah doing a bang up job 0.97

02:19:59.000 Just wanted to say keep it up. 0.98

02:20:00.000 Yeah, that phone call never happens. 1.00

02:20:02.000 Does that crap actually work? 1.00

02:20:03.000 Call your senators. 1.00

02:20:04.000 It does.

02:20:04.000 Not a letter.

02:20:05.000 It does?

02:20:05.000 It does.

02:20:06.000 Yeah.

02:20:06.000 No, it doesn't.

02:20:07.000 And it's dessert.

02:20:07.000 It does.

02:20:08.000 No, it doesn't.

02:20:09.000 Their reputation for cool-headedness being erudite.

02:20:14.000 Oh no.

02:20:15.000 Not the studio.

02:20:16.000 Yeah, man.

02:20:17.000 I know why you're storming. 1.00

02:20:19.000 It's burnin' this motherfuckin' ass. 1.00

02:20:21.000 Storm has arrived. 1.00

02:20:22.000 Yeah, watch that fuckin' post. 0.99

02:20:23.000 I'm surprised. 1.00

02:20:24.000 Shouldn't you be in a holding cell?

02:20:26.000 Yeah.

02:20:26.000 Why do you have a hockey stick?

02:20:28.000 I was there for a bit, but it's not jail time, it's storm time.

02:20:32.000 Is it storm time?

02:20:33.000 Yeah, man.

02:20:33.000 Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about.

02:20:35.000 Damn, that's what I'm talkin' about, man. 0.99

02:20:37.000 What is he? 1.00

02:20:37.000 He's a foreign national. 1.00

02:20:38.000 He is.

02:20:40.000 Yeah, you don't get to start an insurrection if you're Canadian.

02:20:45.000 Well, that's an invasion.

02:20:46.000 That's a different thing. 0.98

02:20:47.000 It's not an erection. 0.78

02:20:48.000 Just so you know, this was not planned. 0.98

02:20:50.000 This is how boring Trump's defense attorneys are.

02:20:53.000 Trying to dress it up a little until he gets to the point.

02:20:56.000 We're not storming right now.

02:20:57.000 Just take a break.

02:20:57.000 No, just grab a sandwich out later.

02:20:59.000 Yeah, I'm loving it.

02:21:00.000 Just make sure you, you know, refresh your rub-on tattoos.

02:21:03.000 Yeah, it looks real, though, doesn't it?

02:21:04.000 Is that raccoon, or are you fox?

02:21:06.000 Yeah.

02:21:06.000 Alright, thanks.

02:21:08.000 Are you a connoisseur of furs?

02:21:09.000 We appreciate the storming.

02:21:10.000 I like your raccoon fur.

02:21:12.000 Is this guy still talking?

02:21:13.000 ...tells us is the topic of the day.

02:21:16.000 Okay, finally, the topic of today.

02:21:17.000 Here we go.

02:21:18.000 Here we go.

02:21:19.000 That was a long lead-in.

02:21:21.000 So senators are patriots. 1.00

02:21:23.000 SON OF A BITCH! 1.00

02:21:24.000 SON OF A BITCH! 1.00

02:21:25.000 STOP IT! 1.00

02:21:26.000 I don't know, drink for that.

02:21:28.000 Everybody drink, it's the only way we're going to make it through.

02:21:31.000 I already drank all my beer.

02:21:33.000 I already drank all my liquid poison.

02:21:35.000 Alright, we need some more drinks for the Hodge twins.

02:21:39.000 And try and make them not too white guy beer-ish because they can't handle it. 0.89

02:21:43.000 It's because you're too lean. 0.99

02:21:44.000 Oh man, I'm fat as hell right now. 0.96

02:21:46.000 Oh yeah, really? 0.92

02:21:46.000 Look who you're talking to. 0.92

02:21:47.000 I got some good action going.

02:21:48.000 Look at this, look at this.

02:21:49.000 I got some Crowder going.

02:21:51.000 That's fair. 0.98

02:21:53.000 I deserve to be fat shamed.

02:21:55.000 I made the mistake of doing a strength cycle where I was putting on weight and then blowing out my knees so they had to put me on immune steroids at just like 240.

02:22:03.000 That's part of the cycle.

02:22:05.000 You put on weight, then you put on more weight.

02:22:07.000 I put on weight, then I put on more weight. 0.99

02:22:08.000 Looks like I'm storing up fucking nuts for the winter. 0.99

02:22:11.000 Looks good on you, man. 0.98

02:22:12.000 Thanks for coming.

02:22:14.000 Well, thank you.

02:22:14.000 Looking sexy, man.

02:22:15.000 I appreciate it.

02:22:17.000 You're looking massive, man.

02:22:18.000 I'd be interested in you guys, too, if you did some squats.

02:22:22.000 All that machine work's kind of a turn-off.

02:22:25.000 I got a bad back, man.

02:22:28.000 I know that you could never love me as much as Hammer Strength.

02:22:33.000 They roll over and they're looking at their phones.

02:22:34.000 The leg press is just as good.

02:22:36.000 Yeah, yeah, for those who attend the Folsom Street Fair.

02:22:40.000 He rolls over, oh, it's leg day, put it back down, go back to bed.

02:22:42.000 Alright, please tell me this guy is giving some... Listen, this is... we took a risk in broadcast.

02:22:47.000 We knew that this could be really boring.

02:22:48.000 Let's see, this is the guy who's supposed to be defending Donald Trump. 1.00

02:22:50.000 If nothing else, listen, Donald Trump should be held accountable for hiring morons. 1.00

02:22:56.000 Yeah, wow, that's true. 1.00

02:22:57.000 All right, let's hear him.

02:23:02.000 In our system of government, and if you read the Federalist Papers, we're very fortunate because the Federalist Papers were authored as an explanation for why it is the states... Okay, all right, Thomas Finnegan, he travels quickly, so now Thomas Finnegan, hopefully, we'll be talking about our on-the-ground impeachment reporter.

02:23:21.000 Let's go, Thomas Finnegan.

02:23:22.000 ♪♪ All right, our on-the-ground impeachment reporter,

02:23:33.000 Thomas Finnegan, can you hear me, sir?

02:23:35.000 Hi, Steven.

02:23:36.000 I'm in beautiful Washington State.

02:23:38.000 Glad to be with you.

02:23:39.000 Tom.

02:23:40.000 Okay.

02:23:41.000 How the hell did he get there so fast?

02:23:43.000 You know, it's the only state to be named after a president.

02:23:46.000 Yeah.

02:23:47.000 Which is fascinating.

02:23:47.000 Well, that is fascinating.

02:23:48.000 Which one?

02:23:50.000 I'll get back to you.

02:23:52.000 The highest point in Washington is Mount Rainier.

02:23:56.000 It's also a volcano.

02:23:57.000 Thomas Finnegan, Thomas Finnegan.

02:23:58.000 You're supposed to be our impeachment reporter on the ground in Washington, D.C.

02:24:05.000 Washington, D.C., Thomas.

02:24:07.000 Thank you.

02:24:08.000 Impeach me in Washington, D.C.

02:24:10.000 And I don't want you to invoice me in petty cash or do per diem for you screwed up the travel, okay?

02:24:16.000 So, we're going to check back in with you later.

02:24:19.000 You understand that Washington, D.C.

02:24:22.000 is on the other seaboard.

02:24:25.000 I'll get a flight.

02:24:26.000 Thomas Finnegan everybody Looks like

02:24:26.000 Okay.

02:24:37.000 The Hodgwins are talking during the stinger.

02:24:39.000 They have no idea.

02:24:40.000 People can't hear you.

02:24:41.000 Oh, they can't hear me? 1.00

02:24:43.000 Thomas, you suck, Thomas! 1.00

02:24:44.000 That's racist. 1.00

02:24:46.000 That's a hate crime and it's unnecessary.

02:24:48.000 Promo code is FIGHTLIKEHELL because, look, That's what everybody has to do out here.

02:24:54.000 Look, I think if nothing else, this makes it very clear that you expect the next guy to fight like hell.

02:24:58.000 This is President Trump's lawyer, for crying out loud. 1.00

02:25:01.000 This guy isn't even slapping like a bitch, let alone fighting like hell. 1.00

02:25:06.000 This guy would get his ass kicked at an 8th grade girl slumber party! 1.00

02:25:10.000 Well, and I believe this was not his first choice for representation here. 1.00

02:25:13.000 I really think that a U.S. 0.97

02:25:14.000 Senator should be up defending him right now, but none of them really have the balls to get up and say it. 0.96

02:25:19.000 The thing about U.S. 0.97

02:25:20.000 Senators is they're patriots.

02:25:22.000 First.

02:25:22.000 Alright, okay, why don't you tell us more there, Mr. Eric Metaxas.

02:25:28.000 Alright, let's see.

02:25:30.000 Alright, Lumberg, what do you got?

02:25:32.000 Throughout history has always, and without exception, fallen Because of fights from within.

02:25:44.000 Because of partisanship from within.

02:25:48.000 Because of bickering from within.

02:25:50.000 And in each one of those examples that I mentioned, and there are certainly others probably that are smaller countries that lasted for less time that I don't know about off the top of my head. 0.98

02:26:03.000 Then why mention it, you dipshit? 1.00

02:26:06.000 Shut up! 1.00

02:26:09.000 Look behind you! 1.00

02:26:10.000 That's your 15 minutes! 0.74

02:26:13.000 Can someone get a Muppet cane and pull him off by the neck?

02:26:15.000 I thought you were going to say, look behind you, that's Patrick Leahy dying of old age.

02:26:20.000 Wasting away.

02:26:21.000 Let it never be said that I'm not bipartisan, because I would throw eggs at this guy if I had them.

02:26:30.000 As representative democracy.

02:26:35.000 And you guys, you know, on Mug Club, you can chat, let me know, or you can tweet me if you want us to cover this tomorrow, because it's going to be another four.

02:26:44.000 I really don't want to, but we'll see what you guys think.

02:26:46.000 It's so paper thin.

02:26:46.000 I feel as though I can do that because...

02:26:48.000 And you guys, you know, on Mug Club, you can chat, let me know, or you can tweet me if

02:26:52.000 you want us to cover this tomorrow, because it's going to be another four...

02:26:55.000 I really don't want to, but we'll see what you guys think.

02:26:58.000 I mean, there's...

02:26:59.000 There's...

02:27:00.000 This just...

02:27:01.000 It's so paper thin.

02:27:02.000 This just goes to...

02:27:03.000 There is value in showing you that there's nothing here, but it's also really hard to

02:27:06.000 watch nothing here for four hours.

02:27:09.000 I get it.

02:27:12.000 I get it.

02:27:14.000 ...the Constitution, the concepts of liberty that we think are critical.

02:27:19.000 The very concepts of liberty that drove us to separate from Great Britain, and I can't

02:27:24.000 believe these fellas are quoting what happened pre-revolution as though that's somehow of

02:27:29.000 value to us.

02:27:30.000 Good.

02:27:31.000 That's a good point.

02:27:32.000 We left the British system.

02:27:35.000 If we're really going to use pre-revolutionary history in Great Britain, then the precedent

02:27:41.000 is we have a parliament and we have a king.

02:27:46.000 He's warming up, he's getting there.

02:27:46.000 Good.

02:27:52.000 It only took him nine rounds to get warmed up. 0.99

02:27:55.000 He's like Rocky, getting his ass beat the whole fight. 0.98

02:28:00.000 That our liberties are enumerated in the Bill of Rights. 0.97

02:28:06.000 It's not an accident that the very first liberty in the first article of the Bill of Rights is the First Amendment which says Congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, etc.

02:28:21.000 Congress shall make no law.

02:28:23.000 The very first one.

02:28:25.000 The most important one.

02:28:27.000 The ability to have free and Robust debate.

02:28:34.000 Free and robust political speech.

02:28:38.000 He just pulled a Swalwell?

02:28:40.000 He did.

02:28:41.000 And a Biden.

02:28:42.000 Something that... Did you just have to look down for that?

02:28:45.000 Mr. Raskin and his team brought up is that... Let me check my notes.

02:28:51.000 A suggestion from former President Trump's team that when various public officials were Not denouncing the violence that we saw over the summer.

02:29:04.000 That that was somehow the former president equating that speech to his own.

02:29:12.000 Not at all.

02:29:13.000 Exactly backwards.

02:29:16.000 I saw a headline, representative so-and-so seeks to walk back comments about I forget what it was.

02:29:24.000 Something that bothered her.

02:29:25.000 Oh my god!

02:29:27.000 I saw something representative so-and-so walk back something about I don't remember what it was.

02:29:32.000 What value do you provide as a human being to your fellow man?

02:29:36.000 Almost none right now.

02:29:38.000 Donald Trump's got to be at home right now going, he's blowing it!

02:29:46.000 Pull him! 0.98

02:29:47.000 Rudy!

02:29:48.000 Get in there, Rudy! 1.00

02:29:49.000 They're gonna think I was pissing on Russian prostitutes for sure now! 1.00

02:29:57.000 And anybody who agrees should be permitted to say they agree. 0.99

02:30:03.000 I mean, I get his point.

02:30:06.000 He's a good point.

02:30:07.000 He didn't need to be specific to make that point.

02:30:09.000 He was saying she shouldn't have to walk back her comments no matter what she was saying, but she supported it.

02:30:13.000 He should have.

02:30:14.000 It would have helped.

02:30:18.000 Consider it like a cartoon, where it's just like, if I just do this, you can just see images of me stabbing myself at my computer yesterday for six hours.

02:30:29.000 You know what's funny though?

02:30:30.000 He had to check his notes to realize he didn't have a specific story to tell.

02:30:33.000 He's like, crap, I don't have any names. 0.77

02:30:35.000 Checks his notes and it's like, did you leave dryer on? 0.99

02:30:39.000 Question mark.

02:30:42.000 That's pretty clever.

02:30:43.000 Looking for your next job because I don't think you'll be at this post for too long.

02:30:46.000 government takes action against that state representative or that US

02:30:50.000 representative who wants to walk back her comments, the government takes 0.99

02:30:55.000 action against her, I have no problem going into court and defending her right 0.78

02:30:58.000 to say those things even though I don't agree with it.

02:31:00.000 That's pretty clever, looking for your next job because I don't think you'll be at this post for too long.

02:31:05.000 By the way, if anyone here needs my business card...

02:31:11.000 Has anybody slipped in?

02:31:12.000 I would like to request that CNN please, in the Chiron, put up my LinkedIn profile.

02:31:12.000 I'm selling t-shirts in the back.

02:31:20.000 If you or a loved one has mesothelioma, please contact me.

02:31:26.000 Starts rolling on head on roll on headache cream.

02:31:29.000 Someone brings him some notes.

02:31:31.000 Oh, just my reverse mortgage.

02:31:32.000 Ah, there we go.

02:31:34.000 Let me adjust my catheter.

02:31:37.000 Self-lubricating catheter.

02:31:39.000 Self-lubricating, huh?

02:31:39.000 Oh, man.

02:31:41.000 It's something you put up your pee hole, because you can't pee anymore. 0.73

02:31:43.000 Pretty much.

02:31:44.000 Oh, my God.

02:31:45.000 Yeah.

02:31:46.000 I'm sorry, there's something in my pocket.

02:31:47.000 We watch a lot of CNN.

02:31:48.000 It's your future, isn't it?

02:31:49.000 Yeah. 1.00

02:31:51.000 I'll just put a gun to my head. 1.00

02:31:53.000 You gotta stick something through my pee pee. 1.00

02:31:56.000 My life's done. 0.99

02:31:57.000 I don't know that they stick it up your pee pee hole. 0.98

02:31:59.000 I feel like someone jammed something up my pee hole right now. 0.95

02:32:01.000 I don't think it's got to, that's the whole point.

02:32:03.000 My wife would want me to know this.

02:32:04.000 It's like the old Chinese torture where they would stick glass rods up and go like, oh that hurts, smash, smash, smash, smash with hammer. 0.99

02:32:10.000 We'd break it, don't worry.

02:32:10.000 That's what this guy's doing right now.

02:32:12.000 What I am saying is Bruce Castor Jr.' 's speech

02:32:16.000 Feels similar to if a Chinese military war leader jammed a rod of glass up my urethra and smashed it with a hammer.

02:32:27.000 Specifically.

02:32:28.000 The two are almost indecipherable from one another on the pain index.

02:32:33.000 Above that is broken femur.

02:32:34.000 Okay, let's go back to it.

02:32:36.000 Prosecutors have an ethical requirement that they are not allowed to charge people with criminal offenses without probable cause.

02:32:46.000 You might consider that.

02:32:52.000 And if we go down the road that my very worthy adversary here, Mr. Raskin, asks you to go down, the floodgates will open.

02:33:09.000 It's one thing to have a pause for dramatic effect, and it's another to be like, where was I going here?

02:33:17.000 I wish we had TiVo for this so we could fast forward the pauses.

02:33:20.000 I wish I'd have written down bullet points instead of my Trader Joe's list. 1.00

02:33:25.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

02:33:26.000 Oh, toucan O's. 1.00

02:33:27.000 Ooh, ooh, they have the mango in now.

02:33:29.000 It's seasonal.

02:33:31.000 Now that I think about it, I did leave the dryer on.

02:33:33.000 Bruce, did you just color in all the O's on your sheet?

02:33:38.000 This chamber and the chamber across the way will change one day.

02:33:48.000 And partisan impeachments will become commonplace.

02:33:54.000 You know, until the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

02:33:56.000 I've seen live, non-sped up, photosynthesis time lapses that were faster moving than this.

02:34:07.000 That's just his style, man.

02:34:08.000 He's slow.

02:34:08.000 He's methodical.

02:34:09.000 He trusts the plan.

02:34:10.000 He's making love to the TV.

02:34:11.000 impeachment. Now most of us have lived trust the plan. He's

02:34:14.000 making love to this is supposed to be the ultimate safety valve.

02:34:18.000 The last thing that happens the most 1.00

02:34:22.000 fucking treatment 0.99

02:34:28.000 and session where this body is sitting as a court of 1.00

02:34:34.000 I'm so sorry.

02:34:35.000 Look, to all the Trump cultists out there who think that we're... No, listen, I want Donald Trump to have a better defense than this guy.

02:34:41.000 Yeah.

02:34:42.000 Not somebody who goes, that this should be the most... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I sleep with my eyes open.

02:34:58.000 I feel like this is Joe Biden and he just gets stopped right in the middle of a sentence.

02:35:02.000 What'd you say?

02:35:07.000 Makeup of the United States House of Representatives and maybe a change in the makeup of the United States Senate.

02:35:14.000 The pressure from those folks back home, especially for members of the House, is going to be tremendous.

02:35:22.000 Because remember, The founders recognized that the argument that I started with that... A million years ago?

02:35:34.000 In the pre-Cambrian era?

02:35:37.000 When Jordan Peterson is dunking on you for talking too slowly, you have a problem.

02:35:41.000 It's like when you can measure his speeches not by an hourglass, but the geo strata layers.

02:35:50.000 And the people represented by the members of the United States House of Representatives

02:35:54.000 become incensed.

02:35:56.000 And what do you do with a federal issue if you're back in suburban Philadelphia and something

02:36:03.000 happens that makes the people who live there incensed?

02:36:09.000 You call your congressman, and your congressman, elected every two years, with their pulse on the people of their district, 750,000 people, they respond.

02:36:19.000 And boy do they respond.

02:36:21.000 The congressman calls you back, a staffer calls you back, you get all the information that they have on the issue.

02:36:28.000 Sometimes you even get invited to submit a language that would improve whatever the issue is.

02:36:35.000 Well, when the pendulum swings, perhaps the next person that gets impeached and is sent here for you to consider is Eric Holder, during Fast and Furious.

02:36:45.000 Attorney General of the United States.

02:36:47.000 Or any other person that the other party Give specifics.

02:36:58.000 Look, this is why Donald Trump said fight like hell.

02:37:01.000 Because Republicans, conservatives, don't.

02:37:04.000 I'm sorry.

02:37:05.000 The other people came out and they condemned Donald Trump's character.

02:37:08.000 They made condemnations of his supporters.

02:37:10.000 They got personal right away.

02:37:11.000 They got dirty right away. 0.78

02:37:13.000 And this guy is not only not fighting dirty, he doesn't need to fight dirty, but he needs to fight concentrated, at least targeted with an effort.

02:37:21.000 Use specific names here.

02:37:22.000 Use specific examples.

02:37:24.000 Connect with the American people.

02:37:26.000 Understand that this is all taking place in the court of public opinion.

02:37:30.000 It's not a real trial!

02:37:32.000 We know that, right?

02:37:33.000 We've talked about that.

02:37:34.000 And this guy, maybe he's under some delusion that they actually want unity and he's trying to play nicely?

02:37:39.000 They're accusing your guy of a crime punishable by death!

02:37:43.000 Do you understand that?

02:37:44.000 Where's the urgency, sir? 1.00

02:37:46.000 That's why Donald Trump says, fight like hell, because of p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pussies like you! 1.00

02:37:52.000 I can't believe this guy has a job! 1.00

02:37:55.000 Well, in a court of law, this may be fine to a judge.

02:37:57.000 You may be making a salient point that needs to be made.

02:38:00.000 But for public opinion, that's why you need a senator up there. 0.82

02:38:03.000 Somebody who understands how to talk to the people and refute an argument.

02:38:07.000 Not a lawyer. 0.99

02:38:07.000 No, this man, I guarantee you, is a crappy litigator. 0.99

02:38:09.000 Well, he could be that too. 0.99

02:38:10.000 I don't know.

02:38:10.000 But he doesn't get the disposition of power by being terrible.

02:38:12.000 Half-Asian Bill Richmond could litigate circles around this guy.

02:38:14.000 Probably.

02:38:14.000 And he would be like, huh?

02:38:17.000 Is that an oval?

02:38:18.000 There he goes!

02:38:18.000 Interesting thing about polygons.

02:38:20.000 It's not interesting, and I don't like you.

02:38:23.000 Nothing you say is interesting. 0.99

02:38:24.000 Shut up and leave now. 1.00

02:38:25.000 Chex Notes finds nothing interesting about polygons. 0.99

02:38:27.000 I wish his hair dye was running down his Muppet jawline, because at least we'd have something to pay attention to.

02:38:34.000 Saying that this is worse than watching paint dry would be an insult, in fact, to paint that is drying.

02:38:43.000 And those who watch it.

02:38:45.000 The political party was complaining about the decision he made as a United States Senator.

02:38:45.000 All right, let me see.

02:38:52.000 You know, it's interesting because I don't want to steal the thunder from the other lawyers, but Nebraska... I think stealing thunder should be the least of your worries.

02:39:01.000 You have stolen zero thunder.

02:39:03.000 You know, some people have told me I'm a little too much of a firecracker.

02:39:09.000 Was that your wife while she was with another guy? 1.00

02:39:09.000 Really? 1.00

02:39:13.000 Well, at least there's going to be other people coming up to make the case.

02:39:17.000 Hopefully one of them is like, well, sorry about the first guy, but we let off with our worst.

02:39:22.000 Hopefully the next guy comes up and goes, listen, the thing you have to understand about Bruce Castor Jr. 0.98

02:39:27.000 is he's retarded. 0.98

02:39:31.000 Yeah, let's go. 0.98

02:39:31.000 to me come on every bring on don't you come on come on bring on someone who can 0.98

02:39:35.000 bring some heat here there's no someone needs to come in and go hey that guy was

02:39:40.000 a part of the collusion with Russia and Donald Trump of being so hey there's the 0.98

02:39:44.000 bitch who said she wanted to impeach him before he had even held office hey look 1.00

02:39:47.000 there's the asshole who is sending dick pics to everyone in the Lower East Side 1.00

02:39:50.000 hey you sure you want to go forward with this that's what someone needs to do 1.00

02:39:55.000 coming out here by the way isn't interesting that you use constitutional

02:39:58.000 arguments really you took it out of context and then cited some trans male

02:40:02.000 who wrote some opinion piece and then cited a tweet do you guys really want to

02:40:06.000 have this conversation right now hey how about this I dare you guys to bring us into a criminal court because he's a private citizen.

02:40:12.000 Let's have a motion for discovery and see what kind of evidence we have on you guys, right?

02:40:16.000 You wouldn't even want us to see what's in your iPhone cloud picture storage. 0.98

02:40:20.000 Someone needs to come in here and put up a damn fight! 1.00

02:40:23.000 Yeah, I want somebody to come in there and walk in with this overlay from Chuck Schumer, right? 0.99

02:40:27.000 Chuck Schumer, the first person to speak, if he was a little bit closer I could tell you exactly what he said, but he's saying, you have no idea what kind of whirlwind you have called down, what is going to hit you, right?

02:40:37.000 And he's saying this to the Supreme Court, right?

02:40:39.000 Words that you would think, oh my gosh, this is inciting violence.

02:40:42.000 If you guys keep doing this, you have no idea what kind of whirlwind you're calling down and what's going to hit you in the face.

02:40:47.000 That's what the first guy that spoke today, that opened up our proceedings said at Supreme Court.

02:40:54.000 Right.

02:40:54.000 To the Supreme Court Justices.

02:40:55.000 Basically threatening them and saying, if you don't do what we want you to do, you have no idea what's going to happen to you.

02:41:02.000 Don't have to read into that very much to know that those words could be taken just the same way.

02:41:06.000 And this guy, who's supposed to be the defense lawyer, goes, well I hear what you're saying there, but interesting story.

02:41:11.000 That reminds me.

02:41:13.000 Talking about whirlwinds.

02:41:15.000 One time I was at Applebee's and they didn't have seats in the foyer so we had to sit at the bar and the air conditioning wouldn't stop blowing on you.

02:41:23.000 And I asked the server if we could move seats and do you know who the server was?

02:41:30.000 Do you know who the server was?

02:41:32.000 Interesting story.

02:41:33.000 Oh no.

02:41:34.000 He was actually a friend who I hadn't seen in 45 years and then just someone has... even the plastic forks just go... Alright, let's see if this guy... I'm sorry guys, but I just... I hate seeing this as our representation.

02:41:51.000 This man is bad at his job.

02:41:52.000 that.

02:41:52.000 He's really, really bad.

02:42:05.000 Said that, said that, said that.

02:42:06.000 Okay, here.

02:42:09.000 He's this far from going, uh, Chuck Schumer staring contest.

02:42:15.000 You always win.

02:42:17.000 Ah, Chucky.

02:42:18.000 You might have seen that we wrote that in the answer.

02:42:22.000 It might have been a little Wait, hold on a second!

02:42:27.000 Can you recognize those strategies?

02:42:28.000 to opine on very much but there is some significance. The house managers, clever

02:42:36.000 fellows that they are, they cast a broad net. They need to get 67 of you to agree

02:42:43.000 their right. And that's a good strategy. I would use the same strategy.

02:42:50.000 Wait, hold on a second. Can you recognize those strategies?

02:42:52.000 Use it!

02:42:55.000 I apologize on behalf of white people. 0.93

02:42:56.000 We're not all this boring.

02:42:58.000 I feel like this is every black comic, like white guy voice, like, interesting story, really, when you think about the Constitution. 0.53

02:43:04.000 We don't all sound like this.

02:43:07.000 You have to agree that every single aspect of the entire document warrants impeachment, because it's an all-or-nothing document.

02:43:16.000 You can't cut out parts that you agree with, warrant impeachment, and parts that don't.

02:43:23.000 Because it's not divisible.

02:43:26.000 It flat out says in the Senate rules it's not divisible.

02:43:29.000 He's acting like it's a court of law.

02:43:30.000 Now, previous impeachments, like President Clinton, said the president shall be found guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor for engaging in one or more of the following, and then gives a list.

02:43:43.000 So all he had to do was win one.

02:43:45.000 But they do that here.

02:43:47.000 Has to be all or nothing.

02:43:50.000 Some of these things that you are asked to consider might be close calls in your mind.

02:43:57.000 But one of them is not. 0.95

02:44:00.000 The argument about the 14th Amendment is absolutely ridiculous.

02:44:09.000 Are you looking for the 14th Amendment?

02:44:10.000 He should have it marked ahead of time. 0.99

02:44:12.000 Are you shitting me? 0.99

02:44:14.000 Are you shitting me? 1.00

02:44:16.000 He's got a lot longer time than the other douchebags. 0.99

02:44:21.000 And here's what the 14th Amendment says.

02:44:24.000 Finally found it, yeah.

02:44:26.000 Oh my god!

02:44:26.000 No person shall be a senator or representative in Congress or elector of president and vice president or hold any office civil or military under the United States or any other state who having previously taken an oath as a member of Congress or as an officer of the United States or a member of any state legislature or as an executive or judicial officer of any state to support the Constitution And shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.

02:44:58.000 Or giving aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

02:44:58.000 Insurrection.

02:45:03.000 But Congress may vote by two-thirds of each house to remove such disability.

02:45:09.000 Now, it doesn't take a constitutional scholar to recognize that that's written for Can we call for recess?

02:45:16.000 fought for the confederacy your previous military officers are in the government

02:45:20.000 and of the confederacy and it doesn't take a constitutional scholar to require

02:45:23.000 that they be convicted first whoa whoa he got a little passionate there for a second

02:45:29.000 I think he crapped himself too so that question can never be right

02:45:33.000 he just stopped and went aww

02:45:36.000 can we call for recess he just does what little kids do just like

02:45:41.000 hey what are you doing You also didn't bring that. 0.96

02:45:43.000 What the 14th amendment applies here is ridiculous.

02:45:46.000 And if you come to that conclusion, then because the managers have not separated out the counts,

02:45:55.000 any counts within the article of impeachment, the whole thing falls.

02:45:59.000 I didn't write that.

02:46:01.000 They are married to that.

02:46:03.000 You also didn't bring that.

02:46:04.000 I wrote it out in individual responses.

02:46:06.000 You didn't even print it out so you had it at the ready.

02:46:09.000 The cast the wide net effort.

02:46:12.000 And fortunately, Senators, sometime in the past, realized that you can't do that because you passed a rule that says, hey, you can't do that!

02:46:21.000 So, that's why it's flawed.

02:46:24.000 It's flawed in other ways, too, and my colleagues will explain that.

02:46:30.000 Hopefully better than you.

02:46:31.000 Why don't you send out one of them?

02:46:32.000 Yeah, let's talk to them then, yes.

02:46:34.000 Send out one of the colleagues.

02:46:35.000 Anybody.

02:46:36.000 Send in the colleagues.

02:46:38.000 Has Pumper's got a dream team?

02:46:41.000 I don't know.

02:46:41.000 God, I hope so.

02:46:44.000 I hope they're starting out with their worst. 0.99

02:46:46.000 If it goes downhill from here, we're screwed. 0.99

02:46:48.000 Yeah.

02:46:49.000 When I'm closing the case, I thought they were brilliant speakers and I loved listening to them.

02:46:54.000 They're smart fellas.

02:46:57.000 He loves using the word fellas.

02:46:58.000 Yeah.

02:46:58.000 Because that makes him seem like he's folksy.

02:47:00.000 Right now he's going, everything about this man is measured where it's like, he's fellas, and then, because that's what it says!

02:47:05.000 Like he's trying, it's like you can't, because he's clearly not passionate about any of this.

02:47:08.000 He's just a guy for hire, and he's just spouting what he thinks he's supposed to.

02:47:13.000 This isn't some, I mean, if he is passionate, then he's done one hell of a job at covering it up.

02:47:18.000 Yeah.

02:47:18.000 But he has a few kind of tells.

02:47:19.000 He goes, these fellas, these fellas.

02:47:22.000 And then he tries to go, okay, he probably has written down like show enthusiasm. 0.99

02:47:25.000 Oh shit, I haven't done. 1.00

02:47:28.000 So let me ask a stupid question. 1.00

02:47:30.000 There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. 1.00

02:47:32.000 And stupid people who ask the questions. 1.00

02:47:34.000 Go ahead. 1.00

02:47:34.000 This is probably gonna be pretty stupid, but did Trump actually appoint him to be his attorney? 1.00

02:47:39.000 Or did the government appoint him? 1.00

02:47:42.000 Trump.

02:47:43.000 Trump did.

02:47:44.000 Yeah.

02:47:45.000 Well, he had a team, and I think they all quit.

02:47:47.000 Some of them did quit, yeah.

02:47:49.000 And what we heard was that some of them quit because he wanted to discuss, again, matters of the election.

02:47:54.000 And they were saying they didn't want to do that at the impeachment.

02:47:57.000 It was not a winning strategy.

02:47:58.000 But that happens all the time, by the way.

02:48:00.000 No, no, no.

02:48:00.000 People leave legal teams for a lot of reasons.

02:48:02.000 Right now, it doesn't matter if Trump is 100% right.

02:48:05.000 If you represent him, you could be ending your legal career right now.

02:48:09.000 Right.

02:48:09.000 People will just put you on a list of people not to hire for any position ever again.

02:48:13.000 Right.

02:48:14.000 I see.

02:48:14.000 So it sounds like this guy didn't have any opportunities at the moment.

02:48:18.000 I feel like, well, no, this is the thing.

02:48:19.000 That's his opportunity.

02:48:20.000 Perfect.

02:48:21.000 All the great ones aren't going to represent you.

02:48:23.000 This is your moment to shine.

02:48:24.000 You're the backup and you're putting the game and you screwed it up.

02:48:27.000 Yeah.

02:48:28.000 He's blowing it.

02:48:28.000 You combined Ben Carson with somebody who's barely intelligible.

02:48:32.000 And you pause a lot!

02:48:33.000 Right.

02:48:35.000 Oh my gosh.

02:48:37.000 Why are they afraid of the very people that sent them to do this job?

02:48:42.000 The people they hope will continue on that?

02:48:47.000 Why are they afraid that those same people who were smart enough to pick them as their congressman aren't smart enough to pick somebody who is a candidate for president of the United States?

02:49:00.000 Why fear that the people will all of a sudden forget how to choose an administration in the next few years?

02:49:08.000 And in fact, this happens all the time.

02:49:11.000 Oh my gosh.

02:49:12.000 When there are changes in administrations from one term president to other.

02:49:15.000 With the foam on his lip, he looks like, and this is something I thought I would never see, a boring epileptic.

02:49:21.000 One and a half.

02:49:22.000 Drink it.

02:49:23.000 Wait.

02:49:23.000 Nixon to Ford, Ford to Carter, Carter to Reagan, Bush 41 to Clinton.

02:49:28.000 It happens. The people get tired of an administration they don't want and they

02:49:35.000 know how to change it and they just did. Wait. So why think that they won't know

02:49:46.000 how to do it in 2024 if they want to?

02:49:50.000 Or is that what the fear is?

02:49:52.000 Is the fear that the people in 2024, in fact, will want to change and will want to go back to Donald Trump and not the current occupant of the White House, President Biden?

02:50:06.000 Because all these other times... That's actually a great point.

02:50:10.000 It's a good point because think about it.

02:50:11.000 We had eight years of Barack Obama where average American wages, I think we can bring this up, average American wages went up $1,000 in eight years.

02:50:17.000 And in the first three years of Donald Trump, the average American income went up $5,000.

02:50:22.000 We had record low unemployment.

02:50:23.000 So there were eight years of Barack Obama.

02:50:25.000 People experienced it.

02:50:27.000 Donald Trump for three years, and there was COVID, of course, which was a pandemic that was largely exaggerated and exacerbated by Democrat policies and really global government policies.

02:50:37.000 And then they're going to have Joe Biden, who eliminated more jobs than anyone in his first week of the presidency.

02:50:43.000 And here's the thing, Americans are going to be able to go, hold on a second, hold on a second.

02:50:45.000 Now we've got 16 years, right? 1.00

02:50:49.000 12 of them were complete, absolute, utter shit. 0.99

02:50:51.000 And three of them were record prosperity. 0.99

02:50:54.000 They're going to have a contrast.

02:50:55.000 Democrats don't want that. They'd rather have another Republican who they can 0.51

02:51:00.000 tar and feather however they want and some new person right and be like well

02:51:03.000 you don't know about X candidate I sound like him right now because I don't know

02:51:06.000 who that can't it's not in the past it's in the future that's where it's

02:51:09.000 appropriate to say I don't know the exact name. If it's in the past and you're

02:51:12.000 presenting your legal case you should know the name whereas people who don't

02:51:16.000 really care that much about politics the average American maybe the AFL-CIO maybe

02:51:21.000 the Carpenters Union maybe the people who work in pipelines maybe the people

02:51:24.000 who work in coal maybe the people who saw their wages go up are going to say

02:51:27.000 what there were there were three years where things were going pretty well for

02:51:30.000 us yeah what what was different You know what?

02:51:32.000 I'm gonna go with that guy.

02:51:33.000 They do not want the possibility of Donald Trump to run again.

02:51:37.000 And not only that, they also, again, they want to send this message because if there's someone who is Trump-like, someone who's in the school of Trump, someone who is not a Washington insider, they want to be able to say, look, this person, this person, he's the incarnate of Donald Trump.

02:51:53.000 You really want that?

02:51:53.000 That was a president who we impeached.

02:51:55.000 This is all designed to send a message to you.

02:51:59.000 This is not a government for the people, by the people, representing the people in many cases.

02:52:05.000 And they don't want you out there.

02:52:07.000 Maybe there's that little ember of a fire saying, hey, you know what?

02:52:10.000 Maybe I should run.

02:52:11.000 Maybe if Donald, if a reality star can do it, if people who don't have experience in an industry, really, and that's what it is, an industry, government, where you can gain experience nowhere else and it becomes this vicious incestuous cycle, maybe there's an ember telling you you want to run and they want to say, look, we are going to destroy your life.

02:52:28.000 We are going to find everything you've ever tweeted, everything you've ever posted, everything you've ever said.

02:52:32.000 We will ruin you.

02:52:33.000 And even if you didn't do it, guess what? 1.00

02:52:35.000 We're going to make it up, like Russia collusion, like pissing on Russian prostitutes, like all kinds of business corruption that never actually occurred.

02:52:41.000 And even if we can't make that stick, then we are going to impeach you by saying that you incited violence when you said, let your voice be heard patriotically and peacefully. 0.90

02:52:50.000 This is meant to be a public execution, not to scare Republicans, but to scare you.

02:52:57.000 From ever trying to create a government representative of the people.

02:53:01.000 Who is that?

02:53:02.000 You.

02:53:02.000 Do you really think Nancy Pelosi represents you?

02:53:05.000 Do you really think Chuck Schumer represents you?

02:53:07.000 It's ironic that the billionaire playboy who was in Home Alone 2 had his thumb to the pulse of the American people more than anyone in Washington D.C.

02:53:17.000 because that's how out of touch they are with the American reality.

02:53:21.000 Everything that is happening right now is designed to intimidate you.

02:53:24.000 That 70 plus million Americans, they want you all to be afraid.

02:53:27.000 And against that, you have to fight like hell or you will not have a country anymore.

02:53:33.000 Do not allow yourself to be intimidated.

02:53:35.000 Do not allow yourself to be silenced.

02:53:36.000 If you think you can run for office, run for office.

02:53:39.000 Everyone in Florida, run for dog catcher for all I care because DeSantis is going to create some new law where then Facebook and Twitter can't ban you. 1.00

02:53:45.000 They can be fined $100,000 a day.

02:53:47.000 Here's what they want you to think.

02:53:49.000 You're alone.

02:53:50.000 You're not.

02:53:50.000 There's over 70 million of you and they can't stop us all.

02:53:54.000 And I don't mean a violent insurrection.

02:53:56.000 I mean making your voices heard and letting these people know that you are not afraid.

02:54:02.000 This is a public execution.

02:54:04.000 Don't let it scare you.

02:54:05.000 That was beautiful.

02:54:07.000 Sorry, I'm mad.

02:54:08.000 It was beautiful.

02:54:08.000 It's just because this guy has no- he's low energy.

02:54:11.000 Yeah.

02:54:11.000 Article... Oh my god, he's going back to the top of your application.

02:54:14.000 He's flipping again.

02:54:16.000 ...says judgments in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office.

02:54:24.000 and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust, profit under the United States,

02:54:32.000 colon, but the party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to indictment, trial,

02:54:40.000 judgment and punishment according to law.

02:54:52.000 He's trying to refute that and thing real quick.

02:54:53.000 I want to hear if he has a good argument.

02:54:55.000 President Trump committed a criminal offense.

02:54:57.000 And let's understand, a high crime is a felony and a misdemeanor is a misdemeanor.

02:55:01.000 The words haven't changed that much over time.

02:55:05.000 After he's out of office, you go and arrest him.

02:55:09.000 So there is no opportunity where the President of the United States can run rampant in January at the end of his term and just go away scot-free.

02:55:18.000 The Department of Justice does know what to do with such people.

02:55:23.000 And so far, I haven't seen any activity in that direction.

02:55:26.000 And not only that, the people who stormed this building and breached it were not accused of conspiring with the prisoners.

02:55:34.000 That's what you do with the prisoners in Gitmo.

02:55:36.000 You just send him in and leave a loaded pistol on the table.

02:55:40.000 Judgment, in other words, the bad thing that can happen, the judgment, in cases of impeachment, i.e.

02:55:46.000 what we are doing, shall not extend further than removal from office. What is so hard about that? What

02:55:58.000 of those which of those words are unclear shall not check notes extend further than removal

02:56:04.000 from office. President Trump no longer is in office. The object of the Constitution has been achieved.

02:56:14.000 He was removed by the voters.

02:56:19.000 Mr. Schoen, are you ready?

02:56:21.000 Mr. Schoen!

02:56:23.000 Mr. Schoen!

02:56:24.000 Now that I've taken all of his time... Uh, just drink because, uh, it's the only way you can pad the pain.

02:56:30.000 Mr. Schoen!

02:56:31.000 Thank you, Mr. President.

02:56:33.000 Grace! 0.93

02:56:36.000 That's recess?

02:56:38.000 No, no, it's not recess.

02:56:40.000 They're going to the next speaker.

02:56:41.000 So hopefully it's more alive. 0.99

02:56:43.000 I'm gonna suck. 0.98

02:56:47.000 It's a beautiful building. 0.99

02:56:48.000 Come on, let's get some music in there or something.

02:56:50.000 Come on, man!

02:56:51.000 We need like walk-up music to get him going.

02:56:54.000 Yeah, some pump-up music.

02:56:55.000 Oh my gosh.

02:56:57.000 For crying out loud.

02:56:59.000 Is this guy talking yet?

02:57:00.000 No.

02:57:01.000 It's just silence.

02:57:01.000 I think he's organizing his papers.

02:57:02.000 How long does he take to speak?

02:57:04.000 It's like the Harry Potter hat.

02:57:06.000 Did you not know where your mark was?

02:57:08.000 Did you not know that the last paragraph was like when you're supposed to be getting ready?

02:57:13.000 Oh, is the mic on?

02:57:15.000 Excuse me.

02:57:18.000 I stand before you on what I have always thought is the hallowed ground of democracy.

02:57:25.000 In this room, American lives have been changed so dramatically in just my lifetime through so many of your legislative initiatives, from the Civil Rights Act when I was a child, through most recently the First Step Act.

02:57:38.000 Laws that have provided major opportunities for Americans to move forward I like this dude.

02:57:44.000 He's got energy, man.

02:57:46.000 He's got some fire in him.

02:57:47.000 Yeah, I like that forehead action, too.

02:57:48.000 deposits and withdrawals. I've seen the changes these laws have made through my clients every day.

02:57:52.000 I like this dude. I was waiting for you to do this. He's got energy man. He's got some fire in him.

02:57:56.000 Yeah I like that forehead action too. Yeah.

02:57:58.000 It's God's work man.

02:58:00.000 I stand before a group of 100 United States Senators who have chosen to serve your country

02:58:06.000 from all corners of this great nation giving up all sorts of professions

02:58:13.000 Time with family.

02:58:17.000 You act like they had jobs before this!

02:58:19.000 No, not a lot of them, no.

02:58:22.000 Why are you appeasing them?

02:58:24.000 I don't understand that. 0.95

02:58:26.000 You should go in and say, I stand before many United States Senators who have never held private office because you are incompetent.

02:58:34.000 Yeah, who have never signed the front of paychecks and have no idea what it is to get a $2,000 check and no job because of coronavirus shutting your business down.

02:58:41.000 Oh my gosh.

02:58:44.000 Man, I gotta piss.

02:58:46.000 Go ahead!

02:58:47.000 Go, go, go, go!

02:58:48.000 No, no, no.

02:58:49.000 Go right there.

02:58:50.000 You're fine.

02:58:50.000 Nobody will judge.

02:58:51.000 Either one of you have to go.

02:58:52.000 I got it.

02:58:53.000 It's not like you're going to miss anything.

02:58:57.000 My overriding emotion is, frankly, wanting to cry.

02:59:00.000 For what I believe these proceedings will do to our great, so long enduring, sacred Constitution, and to the American people on both sides of the great divide now characterizes our nation.

02:59:14.000 Esteemed members of the Senate, going forward with this impeachment trial of a former President of the United States is unconstitutional.

02:59:23.000 Tell us why.

02:59:24.000 Wrong.

02:59:24.000 set out in our brief, some of which we'll focus on here.

02:59:28.000 And as a matter of policy, it is wrong, as wrong can be for all of us as a nation.

02:59:35.000 We are told by those who favor having these proceedings that we have to do it for accountability.

02:59:41.000 But anyone truly interested in real accountability for what happened at the Capitol on January

02:59:48.000 6th would, of course, insist on waiting for a full investigation to be completed.

02:59:54.000 Indeed, one is underway in earnest already, intent on getting to the bottom of what happened.

03:00:00.000 And by the way, the investigation, we already know from that investigation that they were planning this before Donald Trump's speech.

03:00:06.000 Right.

03:00:06.000 Had nothing to do with Donald Trump's speech.

03:00:08.000 But more than willingly wait for the actual evidence, especially with new evidence coming in every day about pre-planning, about those who are involved, and about their agenda bearing no relationship to the claims made here.

03:00:24.000 They say you need this trial before the nation can heal, that the nation cannot heal without it.

03:00:30.000 I say our nation cannot possibly heal with it.

03:00:36.000 With this trial you will open up new and bigger wounds across the nation for a great many Americans see this process for exactly what it is.

03:00:44.000 A chance by a group of partisan politicians seeking to eliminate Donald Trump from the American political scene and seeking to disenfranchise 74 million plus American voters and those who dare to share their political beliefs and vision of America.

03:01:04.000 They hated the results of the 2016 election and want to use this impeachment process to further their political agenda.

03:01:13.000 These elitists have mocked them for four years.

03:01:16.000 They've called their fellow Americans who believe in the Constitution.

03:01:18.000 We have this source from Just the News.

03:01:19.000 The attack was planned well in advance of Trump's speech.

03:01:22.000 As described below, evidence uncovered in the course of the investigation demonstrates that not only did Caldwell, Kroll, Watkins, and others conspire to forcibly storm the U.S.

03:01:30.000 Capitol on January 6th, they communicated with one another in advance of the incursion and planned their attack.

03:01:37.000 Turns out they weren't all that inspired by election voices be heard peacefully and patriotically.

03:01:44.000 Why is he holding his head?

03:01:45.000 He must have thought he had his hair piece on today.

03:01:48.000 He's there!

03:01:50.000 Where did we get these people?

03:01:51.000 Yeah, what is going on?

03:01:53.000 He thought his head was going to fall off.

03:01:57.000 He's like, let me hold my head on.

03:01:58.000 Let's see if he does it every time he goes for water.

03:02:01.000 Please.

03:02:01.000 left out of the nation's agenda as dictated by one political party that now

03:02:07.000 let's see every time he goes for one please please but they're proud

03:02:13.000 Americans who never quit getting back up when they roll And they don't take dictates from another party based on partisan force-feeding.

03:02:22.000 This trial will tear this country apart, perhaps like we have only seen once before in our history.

03:02:29.000 And to help the nation heal, we now learn that the House managers, in their wisdom, have hired a movie company and a large law firm to create, manufacture, and splice for you a package designed by experts to chill and horrify you and our fellow Americans.

03:02:48.000 They want to put you through a 16-hour presentation over two days, focusing on this as if it were some sort of blood sport.

03:02:56.000 And to what end?

03:02:57.000 For healing?

03:02:58.000 For unity?

03:03:00.000 For accountability?

03:03:01.000 Not for any of those.

03:03:03.000 For they surely they are much better ways to achieve each.

03:03:07.000 It is again for pure, raw, misguided partisanship that makes them believe playing to our worst instincts somehow is good.

03:03:18.000 They don't need to show you movies to show you that the riot happened here.

03:03:22.000 We will stipulate that it happened and you know all about it.

03:03:26.000 This is a process fueled irresponsibly by base hatred by these House managers and those who gave them their charge, and they are willing to sacrifice our national character to advance their hatred and their fear that one day they might not be the party in power.

03:03:43.000 They have a very different view of democracy and freedom from Justice Jackson.

03:03:49.000 Flips through notes.

03:03:52.000 Who once wrote.

03:03:53.000 This guy's actually pretty good though.

03:03:55.000 But freedom to differ.

03:03:56.000 Just a baby.

03:03:56.000 Is not limited to things that do not matter much.

03:03:59.000 That would be a mere shadow of freedom.

03:04:02.000 The test of its substance is the right to differ as to things that touch at the heart of the existing order.

03:04:09.000 They have a very different view of democracy and freedom.

03:04:15.000 This is nothing less than the political weaponization of the impeachment process.

03:04:20.000 Pure, raw sport, fueled by the misguided idea of party over country, when in fact both will surely suffer.

03:04:28.000 True.

03:04:29.000 I can promise you that if these proceedings go forward, everyone will look bad.

03:04:33.000 You will see and hear many members of our Congress saying and doing things they must surely regret, but perhaps far worse than a moment of personal shame in a world in which history passes from our memories in a moment, our great country A model for all the world will be far more divided and our standing around the world will be badly broken.

03:04:58.000 Our arch enemies who pray each and every day for our downfall will watch with glee.

03:05:04.000 Glowing in the moment as they see you at your worst and our country in internal divide.

03:05:11.000 Let's be perfectly clear.

03:05:13.000 If you vote to proceed with this impeachment trial, future senators will recognize that you bought into a radical constitutional theory that departs clearly from the language of the Constitution itself and holds, and this is in their brief, That any civil officer who ever dares to want to serve his or her country must know that they will be subject to impeachment long after their service in office has ended, subject only to the political and cultural landscape of the day that is in operation at any future time.

03:05:48.000 This is exactly the position taken by the House managers at page 65 of their brief.

03:05:54.000 Wow.

03:05:54.000 unprecedented, radical position.

03:05:57.000 They unabashedly say so.

03:05:59.000 Imagine the potential consequences for civil officers you know and who you believed served

03:06:04.000 so honorably, but who in the view of a future Congress might one day be deemed to be impeachment

03:06:09.000 worthy.

03:06:10.000 Imagine it now, because your imagination is the only limitation.

03:06:16.000 The House managers tell you a correct reading of the impeachment power under the Constitution

03:06:21.000 is that it has no temporal limit and can reach back in time without limitation to target

03:06:26.000 anyone who dared to serve our nation as a civil officer.

03:06:29.000 Now add that to their demand that you members put your imprimatur on the snap impeachment they returned in this case, and can do again in the future if you endorse it by going forward with this impeachment trial.

03:06:44.000 This is an untenable combination that literally puts the institution of the presidency directly at risk.

03:06:52.000 Nothing less.

03:06:54.000 And it does much more.

03:06:56.000 Under their unsupportable constitutional theory and tortured reading of the text,

03:07:01.000 every civil officer who has served is at risk of impeachment if any given group elected to the

03:07:07.000 house decides that what was thought to be important service to the country when they served now

03:07:12.000 deserves to be cancelled. Let's see does he hold his head here we go here we go here we go wait for

03:07:17.000 okay AHHHHHH!

03:07:20.000 Oh, hold on, hold on.

03:07:22.000 Is this a religion?

03:07:24.000 We need to look this up.

03:07:25.000 Is there some kind of religious significance to this?

03:07:27.000 Because he touched it afterwards.

03:07:29.000 I hope we're not, like, being rude to some man.

03:07:32.000 Religious thing. 0.51

03:07:33.000 We need to look it up.

03:07:34.000 I don't know! 1.00

03:07:34.000 Yeah, we just brought all assholes. I don't know. I mean you touch your head after drinking. Maybe they call Ben 1.00

03:07:40.000 Shapiro Regardless, it's hilarious. I don't know

03:07:43.000 Is there a religious thing?

03:07:44.000 Look it up.

03:07:44.000 I have no idea.

03:07:45.000 Touching your head while drinking water.

03:07:47.000 He's like a baby.

03:07:48.000 He's got to figure this out.

03:07:50.000 Trying to cover us a little.

03:07:51.000 Perhaps my friend put the situation simply and sharply into focus last week on his radio show.

03:07:56.000 My friend is a distinguished lawyer who served as an ambassador to former President Obama and has friends among you.

03:08:02.000 He described himself to his listeners as a dyed-in-the-wool, lifelong Democrat.

03:08:07.000 But he said, the idea of a hundred people in these circumstances deciding that tens of millions of American voters cannot cast their vote for their candidate for president ever again is unthinkable.

03:08:20.000 And it truly should be.

03:08:22.000 We need to know.

03:08:23.000 I will discuss today several reasons this matter should not and must not proceed.

03:08:27.000 Why the Senate lacks jurisdiction to conduct this trial of a former president.

03:08:32.000 Hey, President, no longer in office and now a private citizen.

03:08:35.000 Any single reason in our trial memorandum or discuss today suffices.

03:08:40.000 But I want to start with a discussion of the fundamental due process lacking from the start.

03:08:45.000 And that would last through the end if this goes forward, because it is this irretrievably flawed process and its product, a dangerous snap impeachment that brings us here and threatens to send a message into the future that we will all regret forever.

03:09:04.000 He's deep in research.

03:09:04.000 And that stain, this body, which up to now our founding fathers believed was uniquely suited for the most difficult task of conducting an impeachment trial, as Mr. Hamilton wrote in Federalist 65.

03:09:18.000 These aren't just niceties.

03:09:20.000 I make no apology for demanding in your name, in the name of the Constitution, that the rights to due process guaranteed under the Constitution are adhered to in a process as serious as this.

03:09:34.000 I don't see anything yet.

03:09:35.000 Still looking.

03:09:38.000 of due process in this case of course starts with the House of Representatives.

03:09:42.000 In this unprecedented snap impeachment process the House of Representatives

03:09:47.000 denied every attribute of fundamental constitutional due process that

03:09:51.000 Americans correctly have come to believe is part of what makes this country so

03:09:54.000 great. How and why did that happen? It is a function of the insatiable lust for impeachment in the House. 0.90

03:10:01.000 If it is a religious thing, listen, we mean no offense, but it's silly. 1.00

03:10:05.000 But we can't find anything on it.

03:10:07.000 It must be like a very weird...

03:10:10.000 I don't respect this president and I will fight every day until he is impeached!

03:10:15.000 Those are grounds to start impeachment proceedings.

03:10:18.000 Yes, I think that's grounds to start impeachment proceedings.

03:10:23.000 Yeah!

03:10:24.000 Kink alone! 0.85

03:10:25.000 Kink alone! 0.93

03:10:26.000 Stop it! 0.99

03:10:27.000 Those are grounds to start impeachment proceedings.

03:10:29.000 Yes, I think that's grounds to start impeachment proceedings.

03:10:32.000 I rise today, Mr. Speaker, to call...

03:10:35.000 Is that James Brown?

03:10:37.000 For the impeachment of the President of the United States of America.

03:10:42.000 I continue to say, impeach him!

03:10:46.000 Impeach 45!

03:10:49.000 Impeach 45!

03:10:51.000 Someone bring me my cape!

03:10:54.000 On the impeachment Donald Trump, would you vote yes or no?

03:10:56.000 I would vote yes.

03:10:58.000 I would vote.

03:10:59.000 I would vote. 0.99

03:11:00.000 Because we're going to go in there, we're going to impeach the mother******. 1.00

03:11:03.000 But the fact is, I introduced articles of impeachment in July of 2017.

03:11:08.000 If we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected.

03:11:11.000 Miles requires me to be for impeachment, have an impeachment hearing.

03:11:15.000 He needs to scrawl an eye on his chest.

03:11:17.000 Representatives should begin impeachment proceedings against this president.

03:11:20.000 It is time to bring impeachment charges against him.

03:11:24.000 Bring impeachment charges.

03:11:26.000 My personal view is that he richly deserves impeachment.

03:11:29.000 I'm here at an impeachment rally and we are ready to impeach the...

03:11:36.000 Nobody said it!

03:11:37.000 No, there's nobody there.

03:11:38.000 It's like five people.

03:11:38.000 That's why.

03:11:41.000 The relevant timeline in the House reveals the rush to judgment.

03:11:44.000 On the day following the January 6th riot, the House leadership cynically sensed a political opportunity to score points against the outgoing then-President Trump, and the Speaker demanded that Vice President Pence invoke the 25th Amendment, threatening immediate impeachment for the President if Mr. Pence did not comply with this extraordinary and extraordinarily wrong demand.

03:12:05.000 Four days later, on January 11th, 2021, the instant article of impeachment was introduced in the House.

03:12:12.000 Speaker Pelosi then gave the Vice President another ultimatum, threatening to begin impeachment proceedings within 24 hours if he did not comply.

03:12:22.000 to the nine impeachment managers would be, and on January 13, 2021, just days after holding a press conference to

03:12:27.000 announce the launching of an inquiry, the House adopted the article of impeachment.

03:12:31.000 Completing the fastest impeachment inquiry in history, and according President Trump's own personal opinion, the House

03:12:35.000 rejected Speaker Pelosi's demand, favoring instead adherence to the Constitution and the best interests of the nation

03:12:38.000 over a politically motivated threat.

03:12:40.000 And that's why I'm here.

03:12:55.000 Over strong opposition, based in large part on the complete lack of due process.

03:12:59.000 To say there was a rush to judgment by the House would be a grave understatement.

03:13:03.000 It is not as if the House members who voted to impeach were not mightily warned about the dangers to the institution of the presidency and to our system of due process.

03:13:13.000 They were warned in the strongest of terms, from within their own ranks, adamantly, clearly, and in no uncertain terms, not to take this dangerous snap impeachment course.

03:13:23.000 Those warnings were framed in the context of the constitutional due process that was denied here.

03:13:28.000 Consider the warnings given by one member during the House proceedings, pleading with the other members to accord this decision the due process the Constitution demands.

03:13:38.000 This is Representative Cole of Oklahoma.

03:13:41.000 With only one week to go in his term, the majority is asking us to consider a resolution impeaching President Trump.

03:13:48.000 And they do so knowing full well that even if the House passes the resolution, the Senate will not be able to begin considering these charges until after President Trump's term ends.

03:13:58.000 I can think of no action the House can take that is more likely to further divide the American people than the action we are contemplating today.

03:14:07.000 Good point.

03:14:08.000 Where's the Great Uniter Biden?

03:14:11.000 Why doesn't he say, come on?

03:14:12.000 Yeah, done.

03:14:13.000 Stop it.

03:14:13.000 Let's move on.

03:14:14.000 He doesn't want to move on.

03:14:15.000 No.

03:14:15.000 He was part of the administration who blamed the previous administration more than any president in the history of mankind.

03:14:21.000 Barack Obama blamed all of his misdeeds on George W. Bush.

03:14:24.000 And then, by the way, tried to take credit for Donald Trump's economy until COVID hit and then tried to blame it on Donald Trump.

03:14:29.000 Again.

03:14:31.000 Interesting how that goes, right?

03:14:35.000 And this other claim we cannot verify as well.

03:14:38.000 I was looking for that video.

03:14:42.000 I must have dreamed it or something.

03:14:43.000 Yes, you did.

03:14:44.000 How would one search for that video and not find it?

03:14:46.000 That's when I typed in oil and cracked Obama.

03:14:49.000 It was on CNN, wasn't it?

03:14:51.000 What?

03:14:52.000 I doubt it.

03:14:52.000 It was some video or something.

03:14:53.000 Probably Fox News.

03:14:54.000 I've lost interest completely in impeachment.

03:14:54.000 It wasn't a news clip.

03:14:54.000 Just some video.

03:14:56.000 I just want to see him drink water.

03:14:58.000 Yeah, we're just waiting for the water.

03:14:59.000 I'm like, please, do it again.

03:15:01.000 on one side or on the other. In such cases there will always be the greatest

03:15:05.000 danger that the decision will be regulated more by the comparator.

03:15:09.000 I've lost interest completely in impeachment. I just want to see him drink water.

03:15:11.000 I'm just waiting for the water. I'm like, please do it again.

03:15:14.000 Yeah.

03:15:15.000 Prescient thinking by Mr. Hamilton, as we see often.

03:15:19.000 And what I say to you is a proof of this He did some better.

03:15:23.000 He's a better litigator, I guess.

03:15:25.000 He's got some arms on him.

03:15:26.000 All that head padding.

03:15:27.000 I'm gonna get rid of this.

03:15:29.000 Tired of this guy. He's got some arms on him.

03:15:33.000 Meet all that head padding.

03:15:37.000 Shoulder raises.

03:15:39.000 Let the existence of every man engaged in the administration of public affairs speak for themselves.

03:15:45.000 This, too, in Federalist 65.

03:15:47.000 Now back to the House and the warnings against this rushed judgment in this case.

03:15:51.000 Mr. Cole of Oklahoma again.

03:15:53.000 In the name of healing, a path forward, he said, our people so desperately need, he warned that, quote, the House is moving forward erratically with a truncated process that does not comport with the modern practice and that will give members no time to contemplate They won't.

03:16:08.000 No.

03:16:08.000 Not likely.

03:16:08.000 I don't think we're gonna stream all this stuff.

03:16:11.000 No, we can't.

03:16:12.000 We can't.

03:16:13.000 We can't.

03:16:13.000 Well, we can maybe like clip the best arguments.

03:16:15.000 Yeah, we can clip the best ever, maybe like on the final arguments.

03:16:17.000 And discuss it.

03:16:18.000 But there's just nothing, this just goes, there's nothing here.

03:16:20.000 No.

03:16:21.000 No.

03:16:21.000 Not likely.

03:16:22.000 I don't think we're going to stream all this stuff.

03:16:24.000 No, we can't.

03:16:25.000 We can't.

03:16:26.000 We can't.

03:16:27.000 Well, we can maybe clip the best arguments.

03:16:29.000 Yeah, we can clip the best of or maybe on the final arguments.

03:16:32.000 And discuss it.

03:16:33.000 But there's just nothing.

03:16:34.000 This just goes to, there's nothing here.

03:16:36.000 There's nothing here.

03:16:38.000 That's a big reason why we wanted to show this to you, because guess what?

03:16:41.000 They're going to be running this on cable news probably in perpetuity until the end of it.

03:16:44.000 Absolutely.

03:16:45.000 Yeah, that's all they're gonna run.

03:16:51.000 Yeah, exactly.

03:16:53.000 Trump team makes boring case.

03:16:56.000 To discuss all the evidence, to listen to scholars, to examine the witnesses, and to

03:17:01.000 consider precedence.

03:17:03.000 He's noted further, this is not the type of robust process we have followed for every

03:17:09.000 modern impeachment.

03:17:11.000 And the failure to do so...

03:17:13.000 Because cable news was saying Donald Trump still has access to the nuclear codes and he is crazy and he is going to turn the military on us and do you guys remember that from CNN?

03:17:24.000 People like Amanda Carpenter and Jake Tapper and those guys were out there saying we've got to get him out of office right now and by the way saying that you should invoke the 25th amendment That's treasonous to say, take him out of office because I disagree with him.

03:17:36.000 Invoke the 25th Amendment. 0.97

03:17:38.000 You're fine with treason as long as it's against the guy that you disagree with.

03:17:41.000 Yeah, because after all, we should be most concerned about the man with access to nuclear codes who has started no new war.

03:17:47.000 Yeah, and drawn down troops.

03:17:48.000 The only president to do so in modern American history.

03:17:51.000 Yeah, exactly.

03:17:53.000 More concerned that Joe Biden would fall asleep on them.

03:17:59.000 No, no, no, I didn't mean to!

03:18:03.000 You know what the worst thing that Donald Trump did on Inauguration Day for Joe Biden?

03:18:08.000 He just refused to go.

03:18:10.000 You guys said that he wouldn't leave office, that he would have to be forcibly removed, and what he did was basically like, nah, I don't want to be at the party.

03:18:15.000 That was his worst thing.

03:18:17.000 He was like, I don't know.

03:18:18.000 He ghosted him.

03:18:20.000 Yeah, that's it.

03:18:21.000 That's all you're concerned about.

03:18:22.000 Even if Trump has to coast, can he just walk into Oval Office and push a button?

03:18:26.000 It's not that simple, right?

03:18:27.000 No, no, it's not that simple.

03:18:30.000 It takes multiple parties though.

03:18:32.000 Not one for a rushed political process.

03:18:36.000 But that was their justification for rushing.

03:18:38.000 Seriously, I'm not kidding.

03:18:39.000 They were like, we've got to do this right now.

03:18:40.000 He's got a week left.

03:18:41.000 Red button and I just push it.

03:18:43.000 It's done.

03:18:43.000 I've seen it before.

03:18:44.000 It's just a red button.

03:18:45.000 You can push it.

03:18:45.000 Right next to Diet Coke.

03:18:46.000 Right next to Diet Coke.

03:18:47.000 It's confusing.

03:18:48.000 It shouldn't be there.

03:18:49.000 Yeah, it's like when you're robbing a bank, you just push a button.

03:18:51.000 Yeah, yeah, exactly.

03:18:52.000 What do you think? 1.00

03:18:53.000 I'm some idiot. 1.00

03:18:54.000 I've seen the Home Depot commercials. 1.00

03:18:57.000 Easy.

03:18:58.000 Trump's like on Twitter live streaming.

03:18:59.000 You see this button?

03:19:01.000 Right here.

03:19:03.000 Diet Coke.

03:19:03.000 Yeah, I got you.

03:19:04.000 I'm gonna blow this bitch up. 1.00

03:19:07.000 The red button is the nuclear button, the blue one's the one that makes Biden shit his pants. 1.00

03:19:14.000 Formalities of the criminal justice process is a hybrid of the political and legal, a political process moderated by legal formalities. 0.52

03:19:25.000 This is a quote Richard Broughton.

03:19:28.000 What is that behind them, like marble?

03:19:30.000 It looks like marble.

03:19:30.000 It's marble, yeah.

03:19:31.000 Very expensive.

03:19:32.000 It's black marble.

03:19:33.000 I think we should cut back on all their costs.

03:19:36.000 That should be a nice Formica.

03:19:38.000 Yeah.

03:19:40.000 Look, we can have nice things.

03:19:42.000 I want it to be nothing but Formica and green pool table carpeting.

03:19:45.000 That's all they get.

03:19:48.000 It should be a place you don't want to go.

03:19:50.000 You don't want to run for office.

03:19:51.000 This isn't a cool gig.

03:19:52.000 By the way, push all the power back down to the states except for the common defense, maybe the mail, and we're done.

03:19:58.000 I don't think we need the mail anymore.

03:20:00.000 Not really.

03:20:00.000 Really, we don't need the post office anymore.

03:20:02.000 Not so much.

03:20:02.000 I understand at one point.

03:20:04.000 Not anymore.

03:20:04.000 Now?

03:20:05.000 Now.

03:20:06.000 Who wants to argue that we need the post office now?

03:20:08.000 I don't think I've gotten, no I don't, I don't get anything via the mail.

03:20:11.000 Junk mail.

03:20:12.000 Right, junk mail.

03:20:12.000 I mean they send things occasionally.

03:20:14.000 Everything else is coming from FedEx, Amazon, UPS.

03:20:17.000 You mean faster and cheaper?

03:20:19.000 Yeah.

03:20:20.000 He did it!

03:20:21.000 He did it!

03:20:22.000 that ignore constitutional restraints. Here comes the water.

03:20:25.000 Here it comes. Everyone get your drinks ready. Oh! He did it. He did it. That's gotta be a thing. Somebody out there,

03:20:35.000 please.

03:20:37.000 It's gotta be a thing.

03:20:38.000 Please let us know.

03:20:39.000 I think it's got something to do with his combo badge.

03:20:40.000 What is going on?

03:20:40.000 So far, all I've found is this is turkishculture.org.

03:20:44.000 Apparently, if he's Turkish, left hand is put on the head while drinking water.

03:20:47.000 Well, that's his right hand.

03:20:48.000 Really?

03:20:48.000 So that blows that out of the water.

03:20:49.000 That's his right hand.

03:20:50.000 Yeah.

03:20:51.000 And he's not Turkish. 0.60

03:20:52.000 That's the closest thing I've found so far.

03:20:54.000 There's gotta be something.

03:20:55.000 Wait, wait, wait.

03:20:55.000 Hold on a second.

03:20:56.000 Is this man a Turk imposter? 0.98

03:20:58.000 Like, that's what he tells chicks at parties. 0.99

03:21:01.000 He's like, oh, sorry, I ignore my whole Turkish thing.

03:21:05.000 Oh! 0.60

03:21:07.000 No, I'm sorry.

03:21:07.000 I thought I read something about having to do with maybe having a stroke.

03:21:10.000 You touch your head.

03:21:11.000 Nope.

03:21:11.000 Okay, I'm gonna look again.

03:21:12.000 Like he's having a stroke right now?

03:21:13.000 No, no, no.

03:21:16.000 Maybe if he was Jewish and he was wearing his little cap, you know? 1.00

03:21:18.000 Yeah.

03:21:18.000 But he's not wearing a little cap.

03:21:21.000 I need to know this.

03:21:22.000 I really need to know this.

03:21:23.000 I think it's his hat.

03:21:23.000 We'll see if anyone in the chat lets us know.

03:21:25.000 That's what I'm saying!

03:21:27.000 We need your help.

03:21:29.000 We have a system there.

03:21:29.000 If it is a thing and someone doesn't get it to us, we'll fire somebody.

03:21:33.000 Okay.

03:21:34.000 I feel like I'd be first, so maybe we should play a different game.

03:21:36.000 Yeah, we've got to figure this out.

03:21:37.000 different.

03:21:38.000 No, no, you won't be hurt.

03:21:39.000 A civil case or a case of impeachment.

03:21:43.000 A 1974 Department of Justice memo suggested the same thing.

03:21:46.000 I'll be right.

03:21:47.000 I'm just going to yell out and ask the control room.

03:21:49.000 Yeah, we've got to figure this out.

03:21:51.000 I don't want to wait for another water break here with this guy,

03:21:54.000 but I kind of do.

03:21:55.000 Yeah.

03:21:55.000 Conducting an impeachment proceeding.

03:21:57.000 More specifically, as the Hastings court described it, one of the key principles that lies

03:22:01.000 at the heart of our constitutional democracy.

03:22:04.000 Again, fairness. 0.99

03:22:06.000 OK, no, he's just crazy. 0.99

03:22:07.000 Is he just crazy? 0.99

03:22:08.000 No, apparently there's nothing.

03:22:09.000 Okay, nothing.

03:22:10.000 Then again, that's exactly what an anti-Semite would say.

03:22:13.000 Somebody text Shapiro.

03:22:13.000 of a constitutionally protected interest.

03:22:19.000 Somebody text Shapiro.

03:22:20.000 It is also true that in any proceeding that may lead to deprivation of property requires

03:22:27.000 fair procedures commensurate with the interests at stake.

03:22:33.000 Impeachment proceedings plainly involve deprivations of property.

03:22:35.000 and liberty interests protected by the due process clause.

03:22:39.000 I tell you what, I don't want to, because he's better than the other guy.

03:22:41.000 Yeah.

03:22:42.000 Yeah.

03:22:43.000 But if I were Donald Trump, I would disqualify him based on the water drinking thing.

03:22:47.000 Well, here's the thing. 0.96

03:22:49.000 The audition is like the first guy and it's like, oh geez, he's really smart probably, but he's terrible.

03:22:54.000 And then this guy comes in and be like, oh, revelation.

03:22:56.000 What?

03:22:56.000 He needs water.

03:22:57.000 What the hell is he doing?

03:22:57.000 And the assistant's like, I do find it peculiar, sir, that he touches his head with his right hand when he drinks water.

03:23:03.000 He's autistic. 0.64

03:23:04.000 That means he's even smarter.

03:23:05.000 He can do better jobs in his head.

03:23:08.000 I don't even need my calculator.

03:23:09.000 Put him on rotator!

03:23:12.000 He likes it!

03:23:16.000 I hope this isn't like part of a disease or something.

03:23:19.000 It could be!

03:23:20.000 Left hand is Turkish, that's not quite a disease. 0.64

03:23:21.000 Could be.

03:23:22.000 You have no idea.

03:23:22.000 I wonder how many people now just fall asleep to all of this.

03:23:24.000 water left hand is Turkish that's not quite a disease the Dasani disease

03:23:28.000 could be you have no idea that would allow the chief executive and commander

03:23:35.000 in chief of the armed forces to be impeached based on a process how many

03:23:39.000 people just fall asleep to all of this yeah I know I would that the common law

03:23:44.000 No.

03:23:44.000 And it shows you how boring CNN's daytime programming is.

03:23:47.000 They're like, can we get a guy on there that no one's going to like?

03:23:49.000 That's going to be better than Poppy Harlow.

03:23:50.000 care about the constitutionality of it.

03:23:53.000 And it shows you how boring CNN's daytime programming is.

03:23:56.000 They're like, can we get a guy on there that no one's going to like?

03:23:59.000 That's going to be better than Poppy Harlow.

03:24:01.000 Right.

03:24:01.000 Right now Anderson Cooper's enjoying his time off just banging some guy in the green room.

03:24:08.000 Jesus.

03:24:08.000 Right.

03:24:09.000 Jesus.

03:24:10.000 Some guy that's an intern. 0.95

03:24:12.000 CNN green room right now is nothing but coke and male strippers. 1.00

03:24:16.000 Those interns have a rough shot. 1.00

03:24:18.000 Plants everywhere sheltering in place.

03:24:22.000 Are they going to do the vote live today, Tocanawan?

03:24:29.000 They have to vote, right?

03:24:31.000 Yeah, I read that they're going to do the vote at the end.

03:24:38.000 Right, they're going to do the vote at the end.

03:24:42.000 So four is, theoretically, when they said, right?

03:24:44.000 This is taking forever.

03:24:45.000 This is taking forever.

03:24:46.000 Oh my gosh.

03:24:47.000 Man, just imagine the hours they put into this.

03:24:51.000 I bet he drove them crazy.

03:24:52.000 The other guy didn't prepare.

03:24:54.000 No, no.

03:24:55.000 That other guy's like, I think I'm ready for this.

03:24:57.000 I was born ready for this.

03:24:58.000 The guy steps on stage not ready for this at all.

03:25:00.000 But imagine, like, they act as though, like, if they could sway somebody, if this was an impartial pool of jurors, that they could sway their vote, then yeah, this makes sense.

03:25:10.000 Put on the case.

03:25:11.000 Nobody is changing their vote.

03:25:13.000 I guarantee you right now, what did we call it?

03:25:14.000 It was the two Republicans that we think are going to cross the aisle.

03:25:17.000 Susan Collins, and what's the name of the other guy?

03:25:19.000 I might have a Susan Collins, and I can't remember the name of the wiener.

03:25:23.000 Yeah, we've got them on here.

03:25:25.000 But no one else is going to change their mind.

03:25:27.000 Yeah, someone get up to me.

03:25:28.000 It's Susan Collins and one other Republican.

03:25:29.000 Yeah, they've already made up their minds.

03:25:31.000 They already know how to go.

03:25:31.000 Yeah, absolutely.

03:25:32.000 Just a waste of time.

03:25:33.000 There's no way.

03:25:34.000 That's okay.

03:25:35.000 We can have them in the research team.

03:25:36.000 They can look it up.

03:25:37.000 We wrote it all down.

03:25:38.000 Just trying to find it.

03:25:39.000 It's some name like Bloont.

03:25:41.000 But not Bloont.

03:25:42.000 But not Bloont.

03:25:43.000 But it's like Bloont.

03:25:44.000 Not Blunt, but not Blunt.

03:25:46.000 But it's like Blunt.

03:25:48.000 This is an aside about Blunt sounding names.

03:25:52.000 As the New York Times recently reported, there were no witness interviews, no hearings, no committee

03:25:57.000 debates, and no real additional fact finding.

03:26:01.000 House managers claimed the need for impeachment was so urgent

03:26:04.000 that they had to rush the proceedings with no time to spare for a more thorough investigation.

03:26:08.000 Just have someone search the document.

03:26:10.000 Susan Collins.

03:26:10.000 And it's right next to Collins.

03:26:11.000 I guarantee you it will show up right next to it.

03:26:14.000 It shouldn't take two minutes to find.

03:26:16.000 Someone no longer works here.

03:26:20.000 Collins!

03:26:22.000 Rob Portman.

03:26:23.000 Rob Portman!

03:26:25.000 From Ohio, right?

03:26:26.000 That Rob Portman?

03:26:29.000 Turns out it wasn't in my document, yeah.

03:26:31.000 Uh-oh.

03:26:31.000 Yeah, she brought him in.

03:26:32.000 Get that kid going.

03:26:33.000 There he goes!

03:26:33.000 because we have this life hack check from uh, Louie.

03:26:36.000 Uh oh.

03:26:37.000 Yeah, she probably did.

03:26:38.000 So this weird thing, um, it's probably more likely that he's Jewish than Turkish.

03:26:43.000 It says, for those actually interested, observant Jews say blessings and cover their heads while 0.97

03:26:48.000 eating a sandwich.

03:26:49.000 There he goes!

03:26:50.000 There he goes!

03:26:51.000 Oh, he missed it!

03:26:52.000 Oh, he missed it!

03:26:53.000 I thought it was Jewish.

03:26:54.000 I was like, what is it?

03:26:54.000 Bring it back up.

03:26:55.000 Observant Jews, what? 0.67

03:26:55.000 I was like, there you go. 0.67

03:26:56.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, that's what's so weird about it.

03:26:57.000 Lessons in cover heads before while eating and drinking usually they have head coverings like a yarmulke, but I

03:27:02.000 guess he okay So they're going to do something that's what's so weird

03:27:04.000 about it an observant Jew and he's not wearing the the yarmulke.

03:27:07.000 Yeah That was what I was thinking. That's why I was cautious

03:27:11.000 Look, it's still funny.

03:27:14.000 I don't think you've ever seen it with an observant Jew who's not wearing a religious head. 0.70

03:27:19.000 Yarmulke? 0.94

03:27:20.000 Yarmulke, Kippa, I don't know.

03:27:21.000 I can't pronounce it correctly.

03:27:22.000 Yarmulke and Kippa, I think it's effectively the same thing.

03:27:24.000 Is it called a Yarmulke?

03:27:25.000 Yeah.

03:27:27.000 There's black Jews too?

03:27:28.000 There are?

03:27:29.000 Yeah, I've seen them.

03:27:30.000 Is your race?

03:27:31.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, It's like black hockey players, there are a few of them. 0.66

03:27:45.000 Same thing with the Jewish people, there are some black Jewish people. 0.99

03:27:47.000 There's like a little band, right, that keeps the hat from falling off?

03:27:50.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:27:51.000 It's like a little clip.

03:27:53.000 Clips on the inside, yeah.

03:27:55.000 I know that because I did a show when I was either 17 or 8 years old, a stand-up show that they did annually at a synagogue.

03:28:01.000 17 or 8?

03:28:01.000 I was 17 or 18.

03:28:03.000 Oh, or 18, sorry.

03:28:03.000 That's a swath there.

03:28:04.000 I misheard you.

03:28:05.000 You couldn't fill in the blanks?

03:28:06.000 You're like that guy who has to bring out his pocket constitution.

03:28:09.000 Hold on, let me just... I clearly said...

03:28:12.000 And why would I go in reverse order?

03:28:13.000 17 or 8?

03:28:14.000 Well, if you play the tape back, you said 17 or 8.

03:28:15.000 I would say 8 or 9.

03:28:16.000 That's why I was confused.

03:28:17.000 I'm crying out loud.

03:28:18.000 Instant replay.

03:28:19.000 Just trying to help you.

03:28:19.000 Anyway, I was doing it at a synagogue, and they gave me one, but they didn't tell me how to use the clip.

03:28:25.000 So the problem is, if you don't use the clip, it just creates a barrier between the yarmulke and your head, and while I was doing stand-up, it just kept falling off on the floor, which is disrespectful.

03:28:35.000 It's a disrespectful pretend to be.

03:28:37.000 Well, they were actually pretty cool about it, so what I did was like, I'm sorry, I've never performed at a synagogue, and I just put it on the microphone.

03:28:41.000 I kept talking to him.

03:28:45.000 And they thought it was really funny.

03:28:46.000 It was kind of like when I opened for Bruce Bruce, it was like 400-pound black comedian. 0.98

03:28:50.000 It was black boy, two eyes, Bruce Bruce, and myself.

03:28:53.000 And I realized, so I performed Thursday night, it was one show.

03:28:56.000 Didn't do very well.

03:28:57.000 And then Friday night...

03:28:59.000 So Friday night, by the time I got to the second show, I realized, oh, they're only going to laugh if I make racist jokes against white people.

03:29:06.000 Like how white I am.

03:29:07.000 And I did the same thing with those people in the synagogue that night where I just had the guy with a little microphone with a yarmulke talking about what a Gentile I was. 0.96

03:29:14.000 And I killed.

03:29:15.000 And they invited me back the next year.

03:29:18.000 But I bombed the next year because I didn't have the material because now I knew how to put it on.

03:29:22.000 You gotta just, like, do the same act.

03:29:24.000 No, I just, well, it didn't help that I painted a little Jew on my hand and said, so right, so right! 1.00

03:29:31.000 Stop with the joking!

03:29:32.000 They thought it was stereotypical.

03:29:35.000 Did you put a yarmulke on your hand?

03:29:37.000 I used lipstick.

03:29:38.000 Hey, hey, what kind of racist jokes you tell when you say that? 0.99

03:29:42.000 Oh, I just, you know, about how, like, we can't dance and, you know, how white people got no butts. 0.98

03:29:47.000 That was about it. 0.98

03:29:47.000 But not you, though. 0.98

03:29:49.000 I mean, you broke the stereotype.

03:29:50.000 That's not true about me.

03:29:51.000 No, no, no, no, no.

03:29:52.000 But the point is, and I remember, too, Bruce Bruce coming out.

03:29:55.000 He's really funny, by the way.

03:29:57.000 And when he was coming out, he had a whole entourage, like a botcher.

03:30:01.000 So I'm like, you know, I'm used to a certain rhythm, right?

03:30:03.000 Ladies and gentlemen, Bruce Bruce!

03:30:05.000 And there's nothing.

03:30:06.000 I'm like, uh, Bruce, Bruce!

03:30:08.000 And you're like, boom, boom, boom, boom.

03:30:10.000 And the beat, and these lights.

03:30:12.000 And I think it was like, I remember when, I remember when, I remember when.

03:30:17.000 And he's coming, he's walking out with like five people.

03:30:19.000 It's a Gracie train.

03:30:21.000 And I'm just sitting like, Bruce, Bruce, ladies and gentlemen.

03:30:23.000 Something fun about that day.

03:30:27.000 Come on! 0.61

03:30:27.000 Bruce Bruce! 0.61

03:30:29.000 Make it to the stage, buddy!

03:30:31.000 And it took forever, and then he came up, and he didn't say thanks for the introduction, he just walked up and put his hand out.

03:30:37.000 Oh, he wants me to give him the microphone.

03:30:38.000 And he didn't even look at you either, he just like, really?

03:30:42.000 Yeah, he just handed it to me.

03:30:43.000 You know what?

03:30:44.000 I don't know when this was, but if someone looks up, because I remember in the green room, the night that I performed was the night that Rashad Evans headkick knocked out Sean Salmon.

03:30:53.000 So whatever year that was, that was the year that I opened up for Bruce Bruce, and that was a year and a half late because I was supposed to open for him because I won a MySpace comedy contest.

03:31:01.000 They're like, you won, it was on the front page of MySpace called So You Think You're Funny.

03:31:04.000 I was like, I won, what do I get?

03:31:05.000 They're like, you get to fly yourself to Tampa and open up for Bruce Bruce!

03:31:09.000 And I was like, I don't have the money!

03:31:12.000 So then when he was somewhere in Texas, like the improv, they put me up with him for a weekend.

03:31:16.000 You get to fly yourself!

03:31:19.000 Terrible accommodations provided by you.

03:31:21.000 And that was in 2011.

03:31:23.000 2011.

03:31:23.000 Okay, so that was 2011.

03:31:25.000 So I would have been, maybe I was 22.

03:31:27.000 How long did you do stand-up?

03:31:31.000 I started, yeah, I started in my teens.

03:31:33.000 Teens?

03:31:33.000 Yeah.

03:31:33.000 I started in my teens.

03:31:34.000 Just for Laughs up in, uh, Canada?

03:31:36.000 Just for Laughs, I was 18, yeah.

03:31:37.000 Yeah.

03:31:37.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

03:31:38.000 Uh, oh, wait, he's got his thing.

03:31:39.000 He's got sticky notes.

03:31:40.000 Hold on.

03:31:41.000 He's got props.

03:31:42.000 See, this is what you do.

03:31:42.000 You put sticky notes in.

03:31:43.000 It is a document unique in all the world.

03:31:45.000 It is a foundational part of what makes the United States a beacon of light among the

03:31:51.000 other nations of the world.

03:31:52.000 He could have found smaller sticky notes, but...

03:31:53.000 It not only has room for tremendous variety of perspectives on the philosophical and political

03:31:58.000 direction our country should take, it encourages the advocacy of our differences.

03:32:04.000 But we have long held that fundamental to its health and well-being, and therefore to

03:32:09.000 ours as a nation is its insistence on due process for every citizen.

03:32:16.000 The emphasis on the right-to-do process long ago was recognized as its life breath.

03:32:24.000 Does he mean for people to see those sticky notes?

03:32:31.000 I think so.

03:32:32.000 That's what I'm saying, like in legal, we'll talk to Bill about this later, but the legal ones, there's little small little arrows that point in.

03:32:39.000 He didn't have those.

03:32:40.000 It just looks like he stopped by the used bookstore on the way.

03:32:43.000 Can I have the bright neon green?

03:32:46.000 Oh no, I forgot my constitution!

03:32:50.000 Well, at least he's not like the other guy who was looking it up.

03:32:52.000 And the 14th Amendment, if I can find it.

03:32:55.000 A wonderful amendment, I love.

03:32:56.000 But, a little story about the 14th Amendment.

03:33:01.000 Let me just find my app here. 0.99

03:33:02.000 Oh, ain't face idea, bitch, let me tell you. 1.00

03:33:06.000 I feel like he's looking for Nehemiah in the Old Testament, like, I have no idea where to go. 0.99

03:33:09.000 Yeah, that previous guy shows up to give a toast, he looks down at his notes, and he looks up and everyone's hung themselves.

03:33:17.000 Alright, let's listen to his closing statements, and then we will have half-Asian Bill Richmond come in and take your legal questions, because I don't feel they've been proficiently answered by these folks. 1.00

03:33:39.000 Snap decisions that remove political figures are the norm.

03:33:42.000 Maintaining their systems depend on it.

03:33:45.000 That is not our way in America.

03:33:46.000 So I feel like I like to say fellow, and this guy likes to say snap decisions.

03:33:48.000 Snap.

03:33:49.000 Uh oh.

03:33:50.000 He's going for the warning.

03:33:51.000 Choose an America that lives by our constitution.

03:33:53.000 He's putting the props away.

03:33:54.000 It's not funny.

03:33:55.000 It's still a little funny.

03:33:56.000 It still is funny because it's like he's decided that he's sticking with the practice of touching his head, but he can't be bothered to wear the yarmulke.

03:34:05.000 I mean, maybe you're not supposed to.

03:34:07.000 Sweetheart, when you leave, why don't you put on your kipper?

03:34:09.000 Now!

03:34:10.000 No!

03:34:10.000 When I drink water, they'll know!

03:34:12.000 Don't touch my hair! 0.99

03:34:14.000 Every.

03:34:15.000 Single.

03:34:16.000 Day.

03:34:17.000 It is far too dangerous a proposition to countenance and you must resoundingly reject it by sending the message now that this proceeding, lacking due process from start to finish, must end now with your vote that you lack jurisdiction to conduct an impeachment trial for a former president whose term in office has expired and who is now a private citizen.

03:34:38.000 Oh! There it is!

03:34:40.000 I think it's Tacoma!

03:34:42.000 You know, you guys are right. Not quite as good.

03:34:44.000 Geez! 0.99

03:34:46.000 Not now that I know that he's doing it for Yahshua. 0.88

03:34:48.000 I think it's Tacoma. Yahweh. Yeshua.

03:34:50.000 We should ever lower our vigilance to the principle of due process.

03:34:55.000 It's better than the Islamic tradition where they take a drink of Turkish tea and blow people up. 1.00

03:35:00.000 Well, they cut off other people's heads. 0.98

03:35:03.000 They don't touch their head. 0.94

03:35:04.000 They go like this and they just throw out a dagger.

03:35:08.000 Oh, cool!

03:35:09.000 That's a skill, though.

03:35:11.000 It really is, yeah.

03:35:12.000 Oh, yeah.

03:35:13.000 This is good.

03:35:14.000 Yeah, that's true.

03:35:15.000 Bill of Attainers is basically where there's no actual... Somebody explain what that means.

03:35:23.000 Well, actually Bill can explain what that means, but we have it actually right in here.

03:35:26.000 Yes.

03:35:27.000 That's where, if I'm not mistaken, Bill of Attainers is where there's no actual, like, basically true due process.

03:35:31.000 Right.

03:35:34.000 And that's the problem, because you end up with gray territory.

03:35:36.000 We end up with an impeachment process for a private citizen.

03:35:38.000 If you're a private citizen, you're entitled to due process.

03:35:40.000 It's different standards for impeachment than it would be for a criminal trial.

03:35:43.000 It's a legislative act that imposes punishment without a trial.

03:35:46.000 Punishment without a trial.

03:35:47.000 Well, I was close enough with due process.

03:35:49.000 See?

03:35:49.000 I spend all this time reading this stuff.

03:35:52.000 And then I forget it because a guy taps his head while he takes a sip of Aquafina.

03:35:59.000 That's all you can think about.

03:36:01.000 I think that was just up there.

03:36:02.000 Ex post facto.

03:36:03.000 We'll have to ask Bill what that means.

03:36:04.000 Ex post facto means retroactively.

03:36:06.000 Stop it! 0.99

03:36:07.000 I wanted him to do Latin.

03:36:08.000 Okay, I'll let him do Latin.

03:36:10.000 He's leaving.

03:36:12.000 As the Supreme Court explained in United States vs. Brown, The best available evidence, the writings of the architects of our constitutional system, indicate that the Bill of Attainder Clause was intended not as a narrow, technical, and therefore soon-to-be-outmoded prohibition, but rather as an implementation of the separation of powers, a general safeguard against legislative exercise of the judicial function.

03:36:40.000 More simply, trial by legislature.

03:36:43.000 The bill of attainder reflected the framers belief that the legislative branch is not so well suited as politically

03:36:44.000 Right.

03:36:50.000 independent judges and juries.

03:36:51.000 And boy did they get that right.

03:36:53.000 When the senate undertakes an impeachment trial of a private citizen, as it clearly understands to be the case

03:36:58.000 here, supported by the facts that the chief justice is not providing and Mr. Trump is not the president, it is acting

03:37:05.000 as a judge and jury rather than a legislative body.

03:37:09.000 And this is exactly the type of situation that the Bill of Attainder constitutional provision was meant to preclude.

03:37:16.000 It is clear that disqualification from holding future office, the punishment the House managers intend to seek here, That really is what it's like.

03:37:30.000 It's like Dark Knight when Scarecrow comes back and says your punishment is death or exile.

03:37:36.000 Right.

03:37:36.000 And either way it's death.

03:37:37.000 Exile, walk across the river.

03:37:38.000 Walk across the river.

03:37:38.000 Good luck.

03:37:39.000 Yeah.

03:37:39.000 That's exactly what this is.

03:37:42.000 In other words, well, it's impeachment because you were sitting in office, but now you're not in office.

03:37:46.000 So we don't really have to do the same kind of process as an actual legal process with a judge and jury.

03:37:52.000 And we're also not going to, even though we're saying that you acted criminally, we're not going to file criminal charges and do it in criminal court.

03:37:57.000 By the way, the same guy who's going to be presiding over this is also a witness and a juror.

03:38:02.000 So you know what? 0.98

03:38:03.000 You're kind of screwed. 1.00

03:38:04.000 Your choice is death. 1.00

03:38:06.000 Or death. 0.93

03:38:07.000 Your choice is being publicly humiliated or publicly humiliated.

03:38:12.000 And again, the goal for that is to make sure that all of you are afraid of facing the same fate.

03:38:18.000 Don't run for office.

03:38:19.000 That's for people like the Pelosi's of the world.

03:38:21.000 That's for people like the Schumer's of the world.

03:38:23.000 That's for people like even the AOCs of the world, you know, who's never really had a private job outside of being a bartender. 1.00

03:38:28.000 That's for people who want to be career politicians.

03:38:31.000 That's for people who have the right friends.

03:38:33.000 It's not for people like you.

03:38:34.000 They'll dig up everything you've ever had and then your choice will be guilty or guilty.

03:38:40.000 Yeah.

03:38:40.000 You sure you want to go into office and represent your constituents?

03:38:43.000 That's what all this is. 1.00

03:38:44.000 And basically we've replaced the she's a witch with he's a racist.

03:38:50.000 When do the Salem witch trials get old? 0.98

03:38:53.000 It's like the same exact thing. 0.97

03:38:54.000 Oh, we don't like what you say, you're a racist. 0.93

03:38:57.000 We can prove it because we have video that's been edited to make it look like you're a racist and all the TV networks are going to say, yeah, yeah, exactly, he's a racist. 0.99

03:39:04.000 A duck! 0.97

03:39:07.000 What floats?

03:39:09.000 The power of the legislature over the lives and fortunes of individuals is expressly restrained.

03:39:15.000 And so now let's turn to the text of the Constitution.

03:39:19.000 I'm not a witch.

03:39:19.000 There he goes.

03:39:21.000 Yeah.

03:39:22.000 It's hard when you don't put the... We didn't know and I had a moment of pause, thankfully.

03:39:32.000 You're already a Nazi Jew, we don't want to confuse anybody any further. 0.97

03:39:39.000 I'm a Jew to the people who hate Jews and then I'm a Nazi to the people who also hate Jews. 0.98

03:39:46.000 Much like Paul, you're all things to all people. 1.00

03:39:49.000 I'm all shitty things and all shitty people. 0.98

03:39:52.000 They just copy-paste anything they don't like onto me. 0.99

03:39:57.000 It's like actual alt-right neo-Nazis.

03:39:59.000 Stephen's a Jew. 0.98

03:40:00.000 Tall Jew, but he's a Jew. 1.00

03:40:02.000 And then you have liberals who are like, he must be an anti-Semite.

03:40:05.000 One of those anti-Semites who supports Israel. 0.97

03:40:09.000 Well, he's that fascist that kind of hates fascism as well. 0.99

03:40:14.000 Totally free speech fascist. 0.96

03:40:16.000 I think that's a thing.

03:40:16.000 I'm Hitler and waiting.

03:40:19.000 I've got them right where I want them.

03:40:20.000 I'll make them think that I want the Jews to have the right to exist, and I will do it my whole life without changing my opinion, and then that's all. 0.98

03:40:29.000 I'll die. 0.97

03:40:30.000 That's how I feel.

03:40:31.000 So there's no twist?

03:40:32.000 No, that's all part of the plan. 0.99

03:40:35.000 I'll let them go out, drink their water, tap their head, and look silly. 0.97

03:40:38.000 Are you sure? 0.96

03:40:40.000 The Chief Justice clearly is not presiding.

03:40:43.000 And the conflict of interest wouldn't necessarily just arise as a substitute for the Vice President.

03:40:48.000 It's the appearance of a conflict of interest and the prejudgment that we've discussed.

03:40:57.000 In this case, as we say, the Chief Justice clearly is not presiding.

03:41:00.000 The Senate President pro tempore is presiding.

03:41:02.000 It appears that in the leader's view, unnaturally joined by other senators, this is permitted by the Constitution because the subject of the trial is a non-president.

03:41:12.000 As such, it is conceded, as it must be, that for constitutional purposes of the trial, the accused is a non-president.

03:41:20.000 The role of the Senate, though, is to decide whether or not to convict and thereby trigger the application of Article 2, Section 4.

03:41:27.000 The President, Vice President, and all civil officers of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for conviction of treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.

03:41:40.000 At least he didn't say erection.

03:41:41.000 From which office shall a non-president be removed? 0.78

03:41:44.000 Treason, bonery, bribery.

03:41:49.000 He's better to listen to because he's kind of hitting the points.

03:41:52.000 under the law. He had a fair before this, it's fine. Removal from office of the person

03:41:56.000 under the impeachment attack. The house managers contend.

03:41:59.000 This dude feels like he's been talking for days. I know. He's better to listen to because he's

03:42:04.000 kind of hitting the points. He's got more information. Yeah, but this is not going to change

03:42:08.000 anybody's minds. No, I know.

03:42:10.000 Do developments so significant?

03:42:11.000 He knows he's on TV.

03:42:12.000 But I will say that of everyone who's presented cases, this is the only guy who has for sure

03:42:16.000 presented the most solid constitutional case.

03:42:18.000 Why go with the fresh guy?

03:42:19.000 He's actually referenced the Constitution and then stopped.

03:42:21.000 Not like, well there's this in the Constitution and so I defer to my friend who tweeted in

03:42:25.000 2021.

03:42:27.000 He has an egg in this picture but he has totally put a picture up since then.

03:42:31.000 Like, well we know from the Federalist Papers that this was written and I also would like 0.99

03:42:36.000 to quote Eugene Levy's son from Schitt's Creek who said, this is like totally bullshit, Donald 1.00

03:42:44.000 Trump is a Nazi. 1.00

03:42:45.000 And, well, I rest my case. 1.00

03:42:48.000 Followed by, ew, David!

03:42:49.000 Ew, David!

03:42:52.000 Nobody watch Schitt's Creek here?

03:42:53.000 Come on.

03:42:53.000 I watched it.

03:42:54.000 What the hell? 0.92

03:42:55.000 I got annoyed. 0.60

03:42:56.000 It's pretty funny though.

03:42:57.000 It's the whitest show imaginable.

03:42:58.000 I'm not surprised I didn't watch Schitt's Creek.

03:42:59.000 It's really funny though.

03:43:00.000 I've been meaning to watch it.

03:43:01.000 It's good?

03:43:02.000 Lots of white people left.

03:43:03.000 You know what's actually funny about that?

03:43:06.000 There's so much representation with gays and trans and I don't think I remember a black person on that show.

03:43:11.000 Nary.

03:43:12.000 Oh no, the woman. 1.00

03:43:14.000 One black woman. 0.99

03:43:15.000 She's a lesbian. 1.00

03:43:16.000 Powerful POC.

03:43:17.000 We only make up 15% of the population.

03:43:18.000 Not in this show.

03:43:19.000 Not in a Canadian show.

03:43:20.000 Not in this show.

03:43:21.000 Not in a Canadian show.

03:43:22.000 But like 20, probably 35% are gay.

03:43:27.000 You know, I look at a lot of Netflix and it's like, I don't mind gay people, but it feels like it's not genuine. 1.00

03:43:34.000 It's like they're forcing it.

03:43:36.000 I was looking at Ozark.

03:43:38.000 I love that show. 0.92

03:43:39.000 I said, man, if I see another gay scene, I'm turning the TV off. 1.00

03:43:44.000 And it's a rough gay scene too. 0.98

03:43:45.000 It's not tender loving. 0.85

03:43:50.000 No, Brokeback Mountain was tender.

03:43:54.000 Oh, was it?

03:43:54.000 That was Ang Lee.

03:43:56.000 He's probably afraid of the rough stuff.

03:43:57.000 He's a little guy.

03:43:58.000 Get overpowered.

03:44:00.000 Might hurt himself.

03:44:00.000 Yeah, no, that's really rough.

03:44:02.000 Yeah, same thing like I was watching Nurse Ratched.

03:44:04.000 There's like four lesbian couples. 1.00

03:44:07.000 All of them are lesbians. 1.00

03:44:08.000 They're either lesbian or Filipino. 0.96

03:44:10.000 That's it.

03:44:12.000 It's an interesting mix to pick from.

03:44:13.000 Lesbian or Filipino.

03:44:16.000 Sometimes I can't tell them apart.

03:44:19.000 I have to go by the stick fighting.

03:44:21.000 Is he stick fighting?

03:44:22.000 Filipino.

03:44:22.000 I'm going to give us another three minutes and then I'm going to let half-Asian Bill Richmond come in and answer some legal questions because he's far more qualified than I am.

03:44:31.000 I can't wait to hear his music, his walk-in music.

03:44:33.000 He is not the president in one.

03:44:36.000 He is not the president in the other.

03:44:38.000 No sound textual interpretation.

03:44:41.000 I emphasize textual.

03:44:43.000 Assuming you can read.

03:44:44.000 No sound textual interpretation principle permits a contrary reading.

03:44:48.000 In the words of the Supreme Court, it is a normal rule of statutory construction that identical words used in different parts of the same act are intended to have the same meaning.

03:44:58.000 Unwittingly or unwillingly as it may be, Senate Democrats in their announcement that Senator Leahy is presiding have already taken their position on this matter.

03:45:06.000 The accused is not the President.

03:45:08.000 The text of the United States Constitution, therefore, does not vest the Senate with the power to try him and remove him, a factual nullity, he can't be removed, or disqualify him, a legal nullity, as if he were the president.

03:45:23.000 House managers contend the Senate has jurisdiction over this impeachment because despite the fact that he's no longer the president, the conduct that the former president is charged I feel like he started off stronger and now he's too close to the forest to see the trees because it's like, look, what people need is if you're going to change any minds here, it's not going to be the textualist.

03:45:44.000 He started off stronger and now he's too close to the forest to see the trees because it's

03:45:47.000 like look, what people need is if you're going to change any minds here, it's not going to

03:45:51.000 be the textualist. 0.99

03:45:52.000 You need to slap people in the face. 0.99

03:45:53.000 Go look, what are you doing? 0.99

03:45:55.000 We just had the most violent riots across our country this summer.

03:45:58.000 Billions of dollars in damages.

03:46:00.000 Hundreds in officer casualties.

03:46:02.000 We now have record high crime rates across the country.

03:46:05.000 Homicide rates that we haven't seen in decades.

03:46:08.000 And by the way, largely in African American communities and communities where we have immigrants and people of color.

03:46:13.000 This is not going well for the United States of America because you've been fanning these flames.

03:46:18.000 Do you really want to continue that by impeaching?

03:46:21.000 A non-sitting president?

03:46:22.000 Do you understand what this is?

03:46:23.000 This is not going well for us.

03:46:25.000 If you want unity and you want to move on, look, they've got to have the Ebeneezer Scrooge, Marley moment here.

03:46:32.000 Change your ways.

03:46:34.000 People have been killed all throughout what you guys have called the summer of love.

03:46:39.000 People can now see through it.

03:46:40.000 Now you're calling for unity and you want to do something which by your own admission is completely unprecedented. 1.00

03:46:46.000 Cut shit out. 1.00

03:46:48.000 This is your last chance. 1.00

03:46:50.000 Turn back or we're going to go down a road that once we're going you can't stop it and we're going to do this with you.

03:46:57.000 I hope you remember this next time you have anyone in office and we have control of the House and the Senate.

03:47:03.000 Stop now.

03:47:04.000 We're going to give you... Come on guys.

03:47:05.000 Unity?

03:47:08.000 Is that just speak, or do you understand that most Americans, at least at this point, want this to be over with?

03:47:13.000 They're like, nah, just keep going.

03:47:17.000 That's the difference between reading legal briefs, and you do have to, especially since this is taking place in the public square, appeal to people emotionally, and at least make Democrats emotionally accountable for the turmoil they're trying to put the American public through.

03:47:30.000 Well, exactly, and I think what you would do is you would rightly place blame where it belongs.

03:47:35.000 Right!

03:47:35.000 Donald Trump didn't fan the flames of division.

03:47:37.000 He didn't come out against himself, right?

03:47:40.000 You can go and look at the videos of all the things that they have said against him that were not accurate just by expanding 30 seconds either way, right?

03:47:47.000 If they want to know who to blame for the outrage at the Senate and at Congress, Look at yourselves.

03:47:54.000 You're the guys that went out there to CNN and said Donald Trump was a racist.

03:47:57.000 You're the guys that went out there and said these are the kind of protests that you can expect when you oppress people even though the facts that you were quoting weren't facts.

03:48:06.000 Right.

03:48:06.000 Right?

03:48:06.000 That's what you expect to happen.

03:48:09.000 You guys are the problem.

03:48:11.000 Even when the riots happened this summer, they weren't even able to blame it on Trump.

03:48:15.000 They really weren't.

03:48:15.000 They were like, oh, it's systemic racism that's been going on for a long time.

03:48:19.000 But the race is tied.

03:48:20.000 Systemic racism.

03:48:21.000 And there's a racist in the White House, and so these cops feel like they can do whatever they want. 0.99

03:48:26.000 Never mind the fact that you're more likely to be shot by cops if you're white than if you're black. 0.99

03:48:30.000 He's the only racist who's a fan of Arsenio Hall. 0.98

03:48:31.000 Also, the only fan of Arsenio Hall.

03:48:34.000 The last one.

03:48:35.000 He's a holdout.

03:48:36.000 He really is.

03:48:38.000 I tell you what, when Donald Trump had Arsenio Hall win Celebrity Apprentice, that almost made me racist.

03:48:44.000 This is the first time that the United States Senate has ever been asked to apply the Constitution's textual identification of the President in the impeachment provisions to anyone other than the sitting President of the United States.

03:48:58.000 Maybe they think he still is the President.

03:48:59.000 And of course most significantly from a textual approach.

03:49:02.000 Maybe!

03:49:03.000 Double secret tricks.

03:49:04.000 Oh my gosh.

03:49:05.000 And there can be only one president, the incumbent at a time.

03:49:09.000 He's saying maybe Democrats think that.

03:49:11.000 Judge Bloddy relies on this...

03:49:13.000 Of course we would never say anything like that on the show.

03:49:15.000 We would say that there were some voting irregularities which you can go back to our actual live election stream which we covered for two days in live real time which is the only reason I think it wasn't removed because it was so screwed up that we were covering it as it was coming in that at that point YouTube didn't even have an excuse for it but that being said we would never say that that affected the outcome of any election.

03:49:37.000 Dead people voting.

03:49:38.000 Just like we would never say that any elections in Russia were illegitimate.

03:49:42.000 We have no right to because we have to apply the same standards.

03:49:46.000 And we couldn't do that.

03:49:47.000 He is a legitimate president and man of the people.

03:49:49.000 Free and fair elections were held in Russia and dissidents were killed so that they couldn't vote.

03:49:54.000 No, no, no, no, no.

03:49:55.000 That never happened.

03:49:56.000 Stop it.

03:49:56.000 I thought they were poison.

03:49:56.000 Oh.

03:49:58.000 You keep saying dangerous things.

03:49:58.000 Stop it.

03:49:59.000 Okay.

03:50:00.000 YouTube, it never happened.

03:50:00.000 They weren't.

03:50:02.000 We understand that Putin... clean as a whistle.

03:50:08.000 I mean, it was like Hunger Games, but it got through.

03:50:11.000 No, no.

03:50:13.000 Unless you mean a blockbuster premiere of one of the Hunger Games films where everyone was filled with joy because they're Den of the Orcs fans.

03:50:19.000 And sure, yeah, that's what the election was like in Russia.

03:50:21.000 I mean, if that's what you mean, yeah.

03:50:23.000 I love the Hunger Games.

03:50:23.000 Count me in.

03:50:25.000 Experts have opined on this.

03:50:27.000 Why not think of it as a broad reading of other terms, such as terms like...

03:50:33.000 They want you all to be... Exactly, exactly.

03:50:34.000 That's exactly what they want.

03:50:36.000 They want you to believe that if we say, This voter's dead.

03:50:40.000 That that's an insurrection to violence.

03:50:42.000 Yeah.

03:50:44.000 This person doesn't live in Nevada anymore.

03:50:45.000 How do you know?

03:50:46.000 Because I have an address here in Ohio.

03:50:50.000 Well, that doesn't mean anything.

03:50:52.000 Then after he moved to Ohio, here's his death certificate.

03:50:55.000 Well, you don't have any evidence.

03:50:56.000 Well, because it wouldn't be admitted in court, but here's the paper trail.

03:51:00.000 Here's his mom crying at his funeral.

03:51:05.000 Contrary to the express language, leading to clearly unintended results.

03:51:09.000 Alright, this is boring.

03:51:10.000 I'm gonna bring in my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, while I go take a tinkle! 1.00

03:51:14.000 he's my asian p-break man that con that song is iconic 1.00

03:51:26.000 Havzies, unite.

03:51:28.000 Alright, so I like David Shellman.

03:51:30.000 Still don't make a hole.

03:51:31.000 He's great.

03:51:32.000 Hey, we make more than a hole.

03:51:35.000 Captain Planet, except I'm that little bowl cut kid who does Earth.

03:51:39.000 Oh, really? 0.97

03:51:39.000 No, no, that's the black guy. 0.97

03:51:40.000 That's Hart.

03:51:41.000 Hart.

03:51:42.000 What was his name?

03:51:42.000 Hart.

03:51:44.000 Who cares?

03:51:44.000 Somebody look it up.

03:51:46.000 So I gotta tell you, we've got a lot of legal questions that have come through A fair amount of them are pretty stupid, so I didn't pick any stupid ones. 1.00

03:51:53.000 Have you been drinking? 1.00

03:51:54.000 That's good.

03:51:55.000 No, I haven't.

03:51:56.000 I've just been in there writing legal briefs and winning.

03:51:59.000 Nice! 0.94

03:52:00.000 Alright, so let me go to our first question.

03:52:02.000 Avery S. asks, question for Bill.

03:52:05.000 Do you think that the House or Senate would benefit from adopting more aspects of the judicial system?

03:52:11.000 And I'm going to guess the criminal justice system, evidence, procedure, etc.

03:52:16.000 Gents, what do you think?

03:52:17.000 I would say yes.

03:52:18.000 Yeah, because it's just partisan at this point.

03:52:20.000 They got the numbers, so they do it.

03:52:21.000 If they didn't have the numbers, they wouldn't be going.

03:52:23.000 I would say, too, because both parties is no longer objective.

03:52:26.000 I would say, hell yeah. 0.99

03:52:27.000 So it sounds to me like you do not like how this shit show is already going. 1.00

03:52:31.000 Okay. 0.99

03:52:31.000 Yeah. 0.99

03:52:32.000 So here I'm going to push back a little bit, and I'm going to agree and disagree, which is a very lawyerly answer.

03:52:37.000 Perfect.

03:52:37.000 Of course.

03:52:38.000 Absolutely, this would be less of a shitshow if they actually followed procedure.

03:52:43.000 Could you imagine any criminal defendant going, oh hey, so we found out the rules on Monday, also arguments are tomorrow, also, yeah, it says Wednesday, Thursday, and good luck, there's a Q&A at the end. 0.91

03:52:55.000 It's insane, right?

03:52:56.000 We need a speedy trial, but that would be an absurdly speedy trial.

03:52:59.000 No way to be able to actually prepare a defense.

03:53:01.000 You would know that this was a sham trial.

03:53:03.000 In fact, over the course of history, that's how you did sham trials!

03:53:06.000 Yeah, pretty much.

03:53:06.000 You made the rules up at the last minute, you brought people in.

03:53:09.000 But, the reason why I pushed back on this question is because I think it's very similar to asking whether or not, you know, you need jet engines and wings on a Ferrari.

03:53:24.000 I mean, that's a yes.

03:53:25.000 If he didn't hear that, we heard yes.

03:53:26.000 But the question is, can I get this Ferrari into my garage?

03:53:29.000 Okay, non-lawyers.

03:53:31.000 It depends on how big your garage is.

03:53:32.000 Can I get my Honda Civic into the garage?

03:53:34.000 So what are you trying to say?

03:53:35.000 My point is that, listen to what Shon was talking about.

03:53:41.000 This impeachment procedure is specifically limited to people who are in office.

03:53:45.000 To remove them, to banish them from the office, and that's why we have the Bill of Attainment.

03:53:49.000 That's why we have due process.

03:53:51.000 It's because there's an entirely different system for when you were deciding whether or not to punish private citizens.

03:53:57.000 Everyone agrees that the former president, or maybe again like Gerald pointed out, maybe Democrats think he is still the president.

03:54:03.000 that he's a private citizen. So the whole point of our entire justice system is

03:54:09.000 that you aren't saying oh wait we're gonna just impeach random private

03:54:14.000 citizens because they happen to be the former president because that's not

03:54:17.000 what's supported by the Constitution. So it's about it's what really what is the

03:54:21.000 purpose of this particular tool.

03:54:23.000 And here, the purpose of the Ferrari is to go fast.

03:54:25.000 The purpose of the impeachment is to get someone out of office.

03:54:27.000 The purpose of it is not just add a whole bunch of other things.

03:54:30.000 Yeah, I want a panini maker, but driving 200 miles an hour while eating paninis?

03:54:34.000 Not that good of idea.

03:54:35.000 In the same way of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole of an impeachment against a private citizen.

03:54:40.000 When you have to continually twist and mend and just mix up all of the different words to fit your argument is how we get into trouble.

03:54:48.000 And Democrats have been making the point that we need this to heal.

03:54:52.000 I've been watching CNN.

03:54:53.000 Again, like Stephen says, you kind of want to gouge your eyes out, but you're watching it, you're seeing this, and like, we need this to heal.

03:54:58.000 We can't just move on.

03:54:59.000 Whatever happened on January 6th can't just go away.

03:55:04.000 First off, nobody says what happened on January 6th should go away.

03:55:07.000 People are being put in prison for what they did.

03:55:10.000 Rightfully so.

03:55:11.000 If they threaten officials with bodily harm, if they shoot somebody, if they break into Capitol grounds, they should pay the penalty for that.

03:55:18.000 Nobody here supports what they did.

03:55:21.000 So now, can we at least just say, okay, so that's been satisfied.

03:55:25.000 What's your objective?

03:55:26.000 This is like Brett Kavanaugh all over again.

03:55:29.000 There's no evidence of any crime whatsoever, but somebody's feelings are hurt, and we're going to put on a public display because it's politically expedient for us.

03:55:38.000 We hate Donald Trump so much we feel like we need one more punch at him.

03:55:42.000 What's scary is if they had the votes in the Senate.

03:55:44.000 He would be convicted.

03:55:46.000 Absolutely!

03:55:46.000 There would be no doubt.

03:55:47.000 That's the reason why I said, man, this needs to be more like a judicial system, but... Well, and I do understand that part, right?

03:55:55.000 And look, I've talked to folks across the political spectrum who are very much against the show, and that's Democrats and Republicans, progressives and conservatives, who said, if there's a real crime, punish him.

03:56:05.000 Really?

03:56:05.000 A progressive said that?

03:56:07.000 Y'all, let's move on.

03:56:09.000 Well, hold on.

03:56:09.000 If there's a real crime, charge him.

03:56:12.000 Yeah, criminally.

03:56:13.000 That's where you would show your hand. 0.99

03:56:15.000 If you have the balls to say that Donald Trump incited a riot or an insurrection or an erection, depending on who you ask, then charge him. 0.99

03:56:24.000 And I guarantee you what they will say. 0.98

03:56:25.000 If they come out of this and they say, Donald Trump wins, loses, either way, right?

03:56:29.000 Then they'll go and say, OK, are you going to charge him as a private citizen with a crime?

03:56:33.000 Because that is a crime, punishable, like Stephen said, potentially by death if it's severe enough.

03:56:39.000 They'll be like, well, no, for the unity and the healing of the country, we need to move on.

03:56:42.000 So now's the time to move on because we can't make the case.

03:56:45.000 We just wanted to censure him, but we didn't really want to punish him because it actually is all we need for our Instagram feed.

03:56:52.000 Exactly.

03:56:52.000 We have our 30 second feed.

03:56:53.000 We're on to something else.

03:56:54.000 So we have another question here from Trevor that actually relates to what we were just talking about, which is, it says, legal question for Bill.

03:57:00.000 We've seen video of some of the Capitol Police pretty much inviting some of the protesters into the building.

03:57:05.000 Would those people be prosecutable?

03:57:07.000 Because isn't that entrapment?

03:57:09.000 So I guess the question is, would you really not prosecutable?

03:57:14.000 It's really, would they be charged?

03:57:16.000 Would they be found guilty?

03:57:17.000 And the answer is, Actually, I think entrapment is a legitimate question, but only if someone actually said, hey, you should come on in and then let them in and then told them it was fine, right?

03:57:31.000 So that's where the elements really matter.

03:57:33.000 So every state has a different law for entrapment as a defense.

03:57:36.000 The federal justice system also has its defense, but you have to create the idea as a law enforcement

03:57:41.000 officer and plant it in their mind.

03:57:43.000 This is literally like Inception is how it reads.

03:57:45.000 And then you have to induce them into doing it.

03:57:48.000 So there are different ways in which you could get someone to do it, but here's the interesting

03:57:52.000 part.

03:57:53.000 The Capitol Police, from those videos, no one thought that there was a crime.

03:57:58.000 That's what you're seeing, is that you're seeing Capitol Police.

03:58:00.000 It doesn't seem to me as though the Capitol Police were like, oh, I can't wait for these guys to cross over the line.

03:58:06.000 I can't wait for this guy to sell me this illegal gun, right?

03:58:09.000 Yeah, exactly.

03:58:10.000 They're going, I don't know, they seem fine.

03:58:13.000 Come on in!

03:58:13.000 I mean, normally we let people in.

03:58:15.000 I've seen a scene where they actually opened the door and the cops stood to the side and the people just walked in.

03:58:22.000 Right.

03:58:23.000 It's like an usher.

03:58:24.000 But I never understood that crime entrapment.

03:58:29.000 Entrapment?

03:58:29.000 Yeah, like, how can a woman stand on a corner and pretend to be a prostitute?

03:58:34.000 You know what I'm saying? 0.96

03:58:35.000 If you watch out, whoa!

03:58:37.000 She must be working!

03:58:38.000 And you goes like, hey!

03:58:39.000 I mean, it was hair!

03:58:42.000 Look, after the sixth time you tried that defense, you should have given up.

03:58:45.000 Clearly you didn't understand it.

03:58:47.000 What if it's Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez?

03:58:49.000 You can't resist that.

03:58:50.000 That's not fair.

03:58:51.000 That's not a crime.

03:58:52.000 Yes I can.

03:58:53.000 My gosh, that's an American obligation.

03:58:55.000 We're talking about the Constitution.

03:58:57.000 That's Article 2, Section 3.

03:58:58.000 The Beyonce.

03:59:00.000 The Queen Bee section.

03:59:02.000 Okay, so.

03:59:03.000 Alright, so.

03:59:04.000 Hannah. 0.99

03:59:04.000 What the hell's the matter with you? 0.99

03:59:08.000 What in the hell is the matter with you? 1.00

03:59:12.000 What is wrong with you? 1.00

03:59:12.000 What do you mean what's wrong with him? 1.00

03:59:14.000 I'm a man!

03:59:15.000 We're Americans here! 0.95

03:59:17.000 I'm the toxic male! 1.00

03:59:19.000 He's a terrible, awful, wonderful person. 0.94

03:59:22.000 Okay, Hannah asks, what happens if the insurrectionists just say the Democrats rhetoric is actually what invited them? 0.94

03:59:31.000 Incited, maybe?

03:59:32.000 Well, it says invited, so I know I read Gerald, but thank you.

03:59:36.000 But did she mean incited?

03:59:37.000 I don't know.

03:59:38.000 Could have been either one, right?

03:59:39.000 Invited, incited, etc.

03:59:40.000 That's actually, that's good evidence to say, you know, that it wasn't actually Trump, because this is what it comes down to.

03:59:46.000 Did Trump incite these people to commit these criminal acts?

03:59:50.000 Or was it the Democrats calling his supporters white supremacists who had pissed him off?

03:59:54.000 Everything that Republicans have did for the last four years is Pretty much been reacting to what the left has been saying.

03:59:59.000 I mean, the left started all this.

04:00:02.000 Bill, is there a legal kind of hurdle or a bar to clear, I should say, for incitement?

04:00:07.000 Yeah.

04:00:08.000 What is it?

04:00:09.000 So, well, are you asking, is there like a specific word, like, okay, if you yell... Or a phrase or something.

04:00:13.000 That'd be explicit, right?

04:00:14.000 Right.

04:00:15.000 You have to expressly have called someone to commit a criminal act.

04:00:20.000 There's a couple of different ways, different states and different federal laws have what the actual elements are, but you can't just be like, well if someone was just gonna go over there and shoot that guy in the face for me, that'd be great.

04:00:32.000 I mean, you know, you gotta be very, very, very express.

04:00:37.000 Nothing implied.

04:00:38.000 Right, so you have to be very specific.

04:00:40.000 Has Donald Trump ever been specific?

04:00:43.000 Of course!

04:00:44.000 Trying to incite violence? 1.00

04:00:45.000 He incited all this shit! 1.00

04:00:46.000 No, no, no, so you can't have it both ways, that's the thing. 1.00

04:00:48.000 Like, you can say he incited this, that's fine, but then you also have to back it up and say, you know, saying that you believe.

04:00:54.000 If he truly believes that the election was stolen, which his comment, not mine, That's not inciting anybody to anything.

04:01:01.000 He's just saying this is what I believe.

04:01:02.000 That's actually the wrong question.

04:01:03.000 That's the wrong question.

04:01:04.000 And I mean that respectfully because this is a confusing point for a lot of different folks, especially those who went to Notre Dame.

04:01:08.000 It's a question of... I got that.

04:01:10.000 I see what you did there.

04:01:11.000 It's a question not of whether he believed what he was saying.

04:01:14.000 It's regardless of whether he believed it, did he invite expressly these people to commit the criminal acts?

04:01:21.000 No, I was giving you that point.

04:01:22.000 I was giving that point away.

04:01:23.000 Because they can't make that point.

04:01:25.000 I know that.

04:01:26.000 You know that. 0.96

04:01:26.000 There's no record of him saying, Go and raid the house and kill Pence! 0.96

04:01:30.000 You know, like, string him up. 0.95

04:01:31.000 Didn't say it.

04:01:32.000 But what they are saying he did is said that this election was stolen.

04:01:35.000 And that was an inciting.

04:01:37.000 He was using language that incited violence against the people stealing the election.

04:01:42.000 That should be covered under the First Amendment.

04:01:44.000 And what we're going to see is how laughable that argument will be over the next couple of days.

04:01:49.000 I mean, if you're saying that because I said something that was not inviting someone to crime, and then they decided to go do something criminal, I mean, if you go into Cleveland and you say, oh, hey, the Browns are going to the playoffs, nine people will be dead.

04:02:03.000 That's just how it goes.

04:02:04.000 So are you going to kill the messenger over that happening?

04:02:06.000 Buffalo, how many tables will be killed because of the fact that the Buffalo Bills went to the playoffs?

04:02:11.000 Just because you're saying the facts and someone goes and does something is not incitement at all.

04:02:16.000 And yet I think that's what you're going to see a conflation of those points.

04:02:22.000 I want to make a question.

04:02:24.000 A. With your legal expertise, if I take a video of a politician saying that a particular item represents white supremacy, and then people wear that particular item or something very similar to that gets attacked because they're wearing it, No.

04:02:38.000 and they were told and was led to believe that that was a symbol of white supremacy

04:02:42.000 and that person actually caused harm to another person because they heard that politician

04:02:47.000 expressly say that. Is that inciting violence? No. Fuck!

04:02:53.000 That's close to saying the hat was the new KKK. 1.00

04:02:58.000 I built by the hour and I still have a simple answer.

04:03:04.000 Right here.

04:03:04.000 I either hit a three in the NBA like every player does or I'm a racist.

04:03:11.000 Are you serious?

04:03:12.000 Or you're playing the game like kids play in high school where if you look you get punched for it.

04:03:16.000 It's like come on.

04:03:17.000 That's a racist symbol?

04:03:18.000 It's so underground, nobody knows it! 0.95

04:03:20.000 I mean, I don't, I don't, when I see black people attack people, I get where they're coming from. 1.00

04:03:25.000 They believe everything they see on TV. 0.95

04:03:26.000 Exactly, yeah!

04:03:27.000 And they attack somebody, how can you not hold that person accountable for it?

04:03:31.000 Well, I get your point, too, and we even covered this in Portland.

04:03:34.000 There was a guy who was like, yeah, we got a Trump supporter right here!

04:03:38.000 Bam, gunshot, dead.

04:03:39.000 Right, yeah.

04:03:40.000 Right?

04:03:40.000 Right.

04:03:42.000 If the realm of accountability goes past what we've known it to be, inciting violence specifically, then everyone is getting put in jail.

04:03:52.000 All of the politicians are getting put out of office.

04:03:54.000 I don't think they understand what they are doing because it's just like them getting rid of the filibuster.

04:03:59.000 They will not be in power one day and it will come back to bite them.

04:04:02.000 The same thing is happening here.

04:04:03.000 That's not what they're betting on.

04:04:04.000 They're not betting on that someday these rules will come back to haunt them.

04:04:08.000 They're betting on no one will.

04:04:09.000 We have a constitution that sets out what the procedure is.

04:04:11.000 If you really have a crime, go do it.

04:04:12.000 numbers. We have this is why we have to call it out. This is why you have to be

04:04:15.000 able to say it. I mean if you're going to you have to live a life in which you

04:04:18.000 know that the rules are being applied equally to everyone and that's why the

04:04:22.000 corner the cornerstone of the argument that Sheldon's making right now is we

04:04:26.000 have a Constitution that sets out what the procedure is. If you really have a

04:04:29.000 crime go do it. Treat it like a private citizen. If you really thought it was a

04:04:33.000 crime you should have tried to get it done while you could have and the

04:04:35.000 procedure didn't let it happen that's fine.

04:04:37.000 But if you use the wrong means to try and achieve the right result, you've lost before you even got to the right result.

04:04:44.000 And that's what we're saying.

04:04:45.000 America is built on a constitution that says, hey, we're going to try and get the right results whenever we can, but if we follow the correct process, we have stuck to our values, even if it doesn't go out.

04:04:54.000 It's like when you stand there and you go, I could really use this food and I'm not going to steal it.

04:04:59.000 I can understand from a moral perspective, from a practical perspective, and you may

04:04:59.000 Right, yeah.

04:05:03.000 even decide you don't want to do it, but that's still a wrong thing.

04:05:05.000 But you can't then say, this is a right thing.

04:05:07.000 No, maybe it was a justifiable wrong.

04:05:09.000 And in this particular moment, is there a justifiable wrong to create a show, to bend

04:05:14.000 the rules, to punish a private citizen in rules clearly only designed for a sitting

04:05:19.000 president?

04:05:20.000 No.

04:05:21.000 The ends don't justify the means in almost any case.

04:05:23.000 And they've used that logic.

04:05:25.000 They've used that logic this entire time. 1.00

04:05:27.000 Trump is a racist. 1.00

04:05:28.000 He's somebody who's out to destroy America. 1.00

04:05:29.000 He's got his finger on the button to send the nukes.

04:05:31.000 We have to get him out of office right now.

04:05:33.000 And that has been the justification from day one.

04:05:36.000 This is my point.

04:05:38.000 Lots of people said it and I'll leave us with this.

04:05:40.000 You don't vote dictators out of office.

04:05:43.000 No! 0.97

04:05:44.000 He's the worst dictator in history! 0.98

04:05:47.000 He allowed himself to be voted out! 0.94

04:05:49.000 How did he get voted out?

04:05:50.000 How did he get voted out?

04:05:52.000 Do we know that there are questions?

04:05:54.000 Absolutely.

04:05:55.000 Is there vigilance that needs to happen not only now but in the next set of elections and every set of elections?

04:05:59.000 Absolutely.

04:06:00.000 But you don't vote out dictators.

04:06:02.000 We don't need to bend the rules.

04:06:04.000 We don't need to change the core of America in order to create the theater that we're seeing.

04:06:08.000 Right.

04:06:09.000 Nice job.

04:06:09.000 Absolutely.

04:06:10.000 Get out of here, Bill.

04:06:11.000 Hit the music.

04:06:12.000 Where's the music?

04:06:13.000 There it is!

04:06:13.000 I was actually authorized by Mr. Crowder.

04:06:15.000 He's the owner.

04:06:16.000 I'm here to just field any questions you have.

04:06:19.000 What's uh...

04:06:20.000 Why are you here?

04:06:21.000 Shouldn't you be arrested?

04:06:22.000 No, I was actually authorized by Mr. Crowder.

04:06:25.000 Oh.

04:06:26.000 He's the owner.

04:06:27.000 So, no, no, he's saying that...

04:06:29.000 I'm here to just answer any, field any questions you have.

04:06:31.000 So, so, um, you know, what was it like to break the law so brazenly and then to be punished for it?

04:06:37.000 And give interviews afterwards like you had a brain in your head?

04:06:40.000 I don't operate under normal human law, so in my view, nothing was illegal.

04:06:48.000 Hey, can I ask a question?

04:06:50.000 Are you religious?

04:06:53.000 Again, human religions, it might be a little over your guys' heads. 1.00

04:06:57.000 Have you had sex with a woman? 0.98

04:07:01.000 Define woman. 1.00

04:07:04.000 Well, a woman can be anything. 1.00

04:07:05.000 A woman can have some testicles, can have breasts, a woman can... It's 2021. 1.00

04:07:08.000 Let's go with biological woman. 1.00

04:07:12.000 Yeah, I'll say it.

04:07:13.000 Yeah, human.

04:07:14.000 I've slept with humans before. 1.00

04:07:15.000 Shit. 1.00

04:07:16.000 Really? 1.00

04:07:17.000 You don't know what it was?

04:07:21.000 So you're painting your face, what is the get-up?

04:07:25.000 People think you're crazy, rightfully so, but what is the reason behind the get-up?

04:07:31.000 What are you trying to tell people? 0.99

04:07:33.000 Other than you're crazy. 0.98

04:07:36.000 I wouldn't call the get-up as...

04:07:38.000 Let's say outfit, you know, this kind of like, it's just, you know, battle, battle attire, basic battle attire.

04:07:46.000 Battle for what?

04:07:47.000 Yeah.

04:07:48.000 This is mostly for comfort.

04:07:52.000 The helmet is obviously for the battle portion.

04:07:54.000 Protecting hard objects.

04:07:56.000 Did his girlfriend like it?

04:08:00.000 She liked the fur?

04:08:01.000 I like the fur too.

04:08:02.000 It's comfortable.

04:08:03.000 Is it the fur? 0.97

04:08:04.000 It's kind of gay to me. 0.99

04:08:05.000 The fur is the least crazy thing about you. 0.98

04:08:09.000 What about the paint?

04:08:10.000 The paint is, that's mostly for theater.

04:08:17.000 Theater?

04:08:18.000 It's like putting fear into your opponent.

04:08:18.000 Really?

04:08:21.000 Do you wear it to work too or just like when you, during insurrections?

04:08:26.000 Uh, mostly just insurrections.

04:08:29.000 What about, what about, and I'm gonna quote Schumer, what about erections?

04:08:34.000 Erections? 0.97

04:08:35.000 Uh, I can honestly tell you guys I did not have an erection during the whole time. 0.83

04:08:42.000 The whole time though.

04:08:44.000 Approximately the whole time. 0.92

04:08:46.000 That's really good to know because Donald Trump was said to have caused the erection and you're saying it didn't happen.

04:08:53.000 Uh, not at the date that was shown.

04:08:56.000 Not at the 6th.

04:08:57.000 But you're leaving room for Donald Trump causing that at other points in time?

04:09:00.000 Yeah, he could cause erections at other times. 0.99

04:09:03.000 I don't see where people would think you're a nutcase. 0.98

04:09:05.000 What about the hockey stick?

04:09:09.000 I usually like to have a staff with me.

04:09:16.000 Like Moses.

04:09:18.000 Takes pressure off your legs and you want to save strength.

04:09:21.000 I bet you Steve would be there right now.

04:09:27.000 It shows people you mean business, too.

04:09:28.000 Yeah, it shows people you mean business.

04:09:30.000 It has sex appeal to it, too.

04:09:32.000 You can walk longer distances with a cane than without.

04:09:35.000 I like to walk more than... I don't like to walk.

04:09:39.000 I like to drive.

04:09:39.000 This is a personal question.

04:09:41.000 Did you finish high school?

04:09:44.000 In a sense.

04:09:45.000 What does that mean?

04:09:48.000 Just details, maybe, a little?

04:09:50.000 I went to a non-public high school.

04:09:53.000 It was more like a private school?

04:09:55.000 I'm going to take a guess.

04:09:56.000 It's more like in the mountains.

04:09:58.000 This is only a guess.

04:09:59.000 In the mountains.

04:10:00.000 Were there padded walls?

04:10:02.000 Oh no.

04:10:04.000 We didn't live indoors.

04:10:06.000 During my high school years I wasn't in what you would call a building.

04:10:10.000 Did you have homeschooled?

04:10:13.000 Homeschool, yeah, yeah.

04:10:14.000 Did you play sports in school?

04:10:17.000 Yeah, we played, you know, regular sports.

04:10:20.000 Kickball?

04:10:20.000 All the ball sports.

04:10:21.000 Hey, your cheerleaders. 1.00

04:10:23.000 Were the cheerleaders cute? 1.00

04:10:26.000 What's your sister?

04:10:29.000 She was homeschooled.

04:10:31.000 I don't have any siblings.

04:10:33.000 I'm sure you didn't sleep with a sister.

04:10:35.000 I'm an only child.

04:10:37.000 You are?

04:10:39.000 Do your parents approve or disapprove of your illegal, illicit behavior?

04:10:42.000 My parents obviously approve.

04:10:43.000 They do?

04:10:43.000 Yeah, well look at you. There you go. My parents obviously approve. They do. Yeah, they were. Are they still alive?

04:10:50.000 Yeah.

04:10:51.000 So the other question is when you're brought to justice, which is in the works right now, will they visit you in prison?

04:10:57.000 That's highly debatable.

04:10:59.000 Highly debatable.

04:11:00.000 The insurrection at the Capitol, was it mostly peaceful?

04:11:03.000 I mean, got the footage yourself, it looks peaceful.

04:11:08.000 Yeah.

04:11:09.000 right up until you just a few bad apples by the way have you ever you know been trained in media

04:11:16.000 i mean i saw you giving an interview right after to somebody who is obviously

04:11:19.000 setting up with question after question rightfully so you're more on but

04:11:22.000 nonetheless did at any point you say

04:11:26.000 i'm breaking the law Oh.

04:11:28.000 This might not be good to go on camera.

04:11:30.000 Again, any of this breaking the law, I don't understand.

04:11:32.000 You don't know that.

04:11:33.000 Do you believe in laws?

04:11:35.000 Man's law? 0.83

04:11:36.000 No, not human laws.

04:11:38.000 But yeah, it looks like this was times about.

04:11:42.000 Oh, okay.

04:11:44.000 I would like to say this whole charade, it's all just, you know, it's not right versus left, it's more about Trump and the rest of the team revealing the ultimate truth.

04:11:57.000 Oh, really?

04:11:57.000 About the shape of the planet we're on.

04:12:01.000 Yes.

04:12:02.000 Wait, hold on.

04:12:03.000 I don't think that's... What do you mean by that?

04:12:05.000 No, no, no.

04:12:06.000 It's not as, what you would call, round as we have planned.

04:12:12.000 That's fetch!

04:12:13.000 Fetch! 0.96

04:12:16.000 Cross the line there with that one.

04:12:18.000 That guy's the real winner.

04:12:20.000 Real winner.

04:12:22.000 Faint of the show, though.

04:12:23.000 A bit more intelligent conversations with Joe Lewis.

04:12:25.000 I like his hat.

04:12:28.000 Oh my gosh.

04:12:29.000 That Wild Turkey 101 hits you hard.

04:12:30.000 Alright, the promo code is...

04:12:33.000 Hey, by the way, I just got word they're voting right now.

04:12:40.000 We are going to have Senator Ted Cruz on Thursday.

04:12:45.000 There will be no show tomorrow because we are all exhausted.

04:12:49.000 There's a lot of prep that went into this, but we will have Senator Ted Cruz on Thursday talking about the legal standing for all of this.

04:12:56.000 We love Ted Cruz.

04:12:57.000 We got some questions.

04:13:00.000 Listen, if you're going to be in public office, you have to be able to answer some hard questions.

04:13:03.000 Right.

04:13:03.000 We still love you, but we tough love you.

04:13:04.000 Does your undercarriage resemble that of a mannequin?

04:13:08.000 Or, you got little dangly ones.

04:13:11.000 Yeah, you don't know.

04:13:14.000 I was in the pool!

04:13:16.000 I don't know, he's been in the pool for a long time.

04:13:18.000 For a while.

04:13:18.000 No, listen, I just think, I really do think, if anything, like, here's the backlash right now.

04:13:23.000 Democrats, they claim they want to call for unity, and now they're doing this, and what does it make people like me?

04:13:28.000 No unity, and I want to see Republicans and Conservatives grow some balls, and a backbone.

04:13:34.000 I want to see them resist more than they have.

04:13:36.000 Because right now what I see is some people on the right allowing themselves to be steamrolled by people who have no respect or consideration for rule of law and precedent.

04:13:46.000 And by the way, Donald Trump is not there to carry your water anymore.

04:13:49.000 He's not going to be the guy that pushes back on the system that you guys would like to change.

04:13:53.000 You have to pick that ball up and run with it.

04:13:55.000 Yeah.

04:13:55.000 Maybe you have to do it a little bit better.

04:13:56.000 Maybe you have to have a little bit more finesse in certain ways.

04:13:59.000 Stay off Twitter sometimes. 0.96

04:14:00.000 But you have to have the balls to go out and actually affect change. 0.90

04:14:02.000 Make like Pete Butt Gig and grab the ball. 0.98

04:14:05.000 Oh boy.

04:14:05.000 Zzz.

04:14:06.000 Oh.

04:14:06.000 Are they actually voting?

04:14:07.000 Like a roll call?

04:14:08.000 Like presents?

04:14:08.000 It says, but I don't see a count.

04:14:09.000 Let me see.

04:14:10.000 Are they talking?

04:14:10.000 Let me see.

04:14:11.000 Are they talking?

04:14:11.000 Mr. Warren.

04:14:12.000 Ah.

04:14:12.000 Mr. Whitehouse.

04:14:13.000 Oh, they are.

04:14:13.000 Mr. Whitehouse.

04:14:14.000 Ah.

04:14:14.000 Mr. Wicker.

04:14:14.000 They're about to be done.

04:14:16.000 Mr. Wicker.

04:14:17.000 No.

04:14:18.000 Mr. Wyden.

04:14:20.000 Mr. Wyden.

04:14:21.000 Ah.

04:14:21.000 Mr. Young.

04:14:23.000 Mr. Young, no.

04:14:26.000 Mr. Moran.

04:14:28.000 Mr. Moran, no.

04:14:29.000 It sounds like an anti-American speaking spell.

04:14:33.000 Mr. Young, no.

04:14:35.000 Mr. White, yes.

04:14:37.000 Destroying our constitutional republic. Yes.

04:14:40.000 Can we find what the vote roll was?

04:14:48.000 See if we see or somebody or not.

04:14:49.000 Is it volume, sir?

04:14:51.000 No, no, no.

04:14:51.000 I mean, who actually voted what?

04:14:53.000 Yeah.

04:14:53.000 I know they're not saying anything anymore.

04:14:54.000 What I'm saying is, can we find out if those two people who we thought were going to vote for it, what was it from Ohio?

04:15:00.000 Perlman.

04:15:00.000 Susan Collins.

04:15:01.000 And Susan Collins.

04:15:01.000 Not Perlman.

04:15:03.000 Portman.

04:15:04.000 Yeah.

04:15:04.000 I want to find out if they actually voted.

04:15:06.000 Like, what the actual voting was.

04:15:07.000 Like, C in whatever.

04:15:09.000 Yeah, were any Republicans convinced to toss in yes with impeachment?

04:15:13.000 C-SPAN.

04:15:14.000 They'll have the actual votes.

04:15:15.000 Will C-SPAN?

04:15:16.000 Usually they do.

04:15:17.000 They have them on the screen.

04:15:18.000 Yeah, they do.

04:15:19.000 They do.

04:15:20.000 By the way, I love seeing that there are people there who are clearly wearing cotton masks that are not double... Oh, look!

04:15:24.000 That one guy has a double mask!

04:15:25.000 Do you see that?

04:15:27.000 That one guy has a double mask! 1.00

04:15:29.000 What an idiot. 1.00

04:15:30.000 Apparently he didn't have a private meeting with Fauci. 1.00

04:15:34.000 Freakin' asshole. 1.00

04:15:34.000 They can't even keep... Here's the thing. 1.00

04:15:36.000 When everything is situational ethics, when everything is moral relativism, when everything is fluid, they can't even agree on their own rules.

04:15:43.000 Some of them still think double masks... Here we go.

04:15:47.000 In pursuant to S.S. 47, the Senate having voted the affirmative on the foregoing question,

04:15:55.000 the Senate shall proceed with the trial as provided under the provisions of that resolution.

04:16:02.000 We lost a majority of the vote.

04:16:04.000 Five or six?

04:16:05.000 I ask unanimous consent that the trial adjourn until 12 noon tomorrow, Wednesday, February 10th.

04:16:11.000 And that this order also constitute the adjournment until the 7th.

04:16:13.000 Because I have a very large boner.

04:16:15.000 Without objection, we shall stand in adjournment until noon tomorrow.

04:16:20.000 Let's do the vote.

04:16:21.000 Oh.

04:16:22.000 Do we have a roll call of who voted what?

04:16:25.000 Is that available?

04:16:26.000 Well, we do actually have Thomas Finnegan.

04:16:27.000 Oh, okay, before we go, as we wrap this up, one last time with our impeachment on the

04:16:33.000 ground reporter, Thomas Finnegan.

04:16:46.000 All right, Thomas Finnegan, can you hear?

04:16:47.000 Oh, that looks like progress.

04:16:49.000 Can you hear me, sir?

04:16:50.000 Hi, Stephen.

04:16:50.000 I'm at the Vatican.

04:16:53.000 I thought that was D.C.

04:16:56.000 Well, historically, the D.C.

04:16:58.000 architecture is based on what you'd find at the Vatican.

04:17:01.000 Yes, but it would have been easier to just go to D.C.

04:17:03.000 They have direct flights.

04:17:05.000 It's known for St.

04:17:06.000 Peter's Square, which was made famous by Tom Hanks and Sean Connery in the book about the Holy Grail.

04:17:11.000 That's not how it was made famous.

04:17:12.000 It's its own country with its own distinct architecture and the biggest drinker of wine per capita.

04:17:17.000 Yeah, well, that doesn't really help us very much.

04:17:19.000 It's the most militarized country in the world.

04:17:24.000 Washington, D.C.

04:17:26.000 Hey, Thomas Finnegan, why didn't you go to Washington, D.C., brother?

04:17:33.000 I had an issue with the flight.

04:17:39.000 Did you book the wrong flight?

04:17:40.000 Alright, Thomas Inigun, ladies and gentlemen.

04:17:41.000 Need easy...

04:17:42.000 Yeah, the rough day.

04:17:52.000 He had a rough day, but you know what?

04:17:53.000 I still would rather have him on retainer than that guy, Jake Tapper.

04:17:58.000 Right, exactly.

04:17:59.000 Never let it be said that you aren't a charitable man.

04:18:01.000 So here's something that I think is important for everyone to know.

04:18:05.000 I guess we lost a couple Republicans.

04:18:07.000 It looks like we did.

04:18:08.000 Yeah, who?

04:18:09.000 Do we know who did?

04:18:09.000 Those people need to absolutely be voted out.

04:18:13.000 I have an overlay here.

04:18:14.000 We got Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Pat Toomey, Bill Cassidy, Ben Sasse.

04:18:19.000 Oh, Ben Sasse, of course.

04:18:21.000 I'm not surprised by Romney.

04:18:22.000 Oh, Portman isn't on there.

04:18:24.000 Ben Sasse from Nebraska?

04:18:25.000 You know that Mitt Romney, there's a stat that he's far more supported by Democrats in Utah than by Republicans, which is tough to do in Utah.

04:18:32.000 When you're a Mormon. 0.52

04:18:34.000 Like that's a feat. 1.00

04:18:35.000 That's a feat of assholeism. 0.99

04:18:36.000 I really don't like you. 0.99

04:18:38.000 If you're a Nebraska Republican right now, do you really think voting for Donald Trump to be put... I think he's Nebraska, right?

04:18:45.000 No, he's Utah.

04:18:46.000 Sass.

04:18:46.000 Oh, Sass.

04:18:47.000 I thought Sass was from Nebraska. 1.00

04:18:48.000 I could be wrong.

04:18:49.000 But he's a Midwest Republican.

04:18:50.000 I don't think I've ever heard of a more poorly named man.

04:18:53.000 Just, that's a bad idea.

04:18:54.000 He should be called Ben Flacid.

04:18:56.000 Yeah, he should be voted out.

04:18:57.000 Ben Tepid.

04:18:58.000 Vote them out.

04:18:59.000 Ben Lukewarm.

04:19:00.000 Ben Assuming Room Temperature.

04:19:04.000 Ben Uninteresting.

04:19:05.000 Ben Pedestrian.

04:19:07.000 Ben Mediocre.

04:19:09.000 That's what I think it is.

04:19:10.000 Ben Mediocre.

04:19:14.000 I mean, what does this get you?

04:19:15.000 I don't understand.

04:19:16.000 As a Republican, what does this get you?

04:19:19.000 Well, apparently that little teaser cut together by Michael Bay convinced some Republicans, so let it never be said that they don't stand on principle.

04:19:27.000 Look, this is what's so scary about this here, is you see that you have a party and you have some Republicans who are willing to basically criminalize you, although really it's not criminal, we know that.

04:19:38.000 Basically they want to publicly punish you for saying something unpopular.

04:19:42.000 This is about punishing someone publicly for questioning the systems in place with the election.

04:19:48.000 That's what this is.

04:19:49.000 Make no mistake, this is a message being sent to everyone out there.

04:19:53.000 And I know everyone is afraid right now.

04:19:55.000 Everyone is afraid to speak on social media because you know that you get banned if you talk about the election results.

04:20:01.000 And it's really murky.

04:20:02.000 With YouTube you can talk about individual incidents of voter fraud, you can talk about voter fraud occurring even on a significant level, but you cannot in any way imply that that might have had any impact on a national election when some states were won by 10,000 votes at all.

04:20:17.000 You're not allowed to, or you face the evil big tech corporate overlords removing you.

04:20:23.000 And this is what happens when you have a party, by the way.

04:20:25.000 It was the same basis.

04:20:28.000 For the riots that caused two billion dollars in damages this summer.

04:20:31.000 It's, guess what, a conservative speech, right?

04:20:35.000 Hate speech, what they say, and then they define hate speech.

04:20:38.000 Hate speech is saying there is no systemic racism, that is the same as physical violence.

04:20:43.000 I know this because I've faced this.

04:20:45.000 I've been banned from campuses.

04:20:47.000 We've had students weep at TCU because we said that rape culture isn't a thing. 1.00

04:20:51.000 saying that that is the equivalent to violence and some people have wanted to sue me for speech.

04:20:57.000 Here's the thing, the barrier, right, the standard of proof in suing someone who's a civilian,

04:21:03.000 which Donald Trump is, goes far beyond, well, he actually rationally justified why...

04:21:09.000 rape culture isn't a culture in the United States. He actually rationally

04:21:13.000 justified why hate speech isn't a real thing or he actually any of the change

04:21:17.000 my mind. We've had students complain we've literally had students complain

04:21:20.000 and say that I am inciting violence by showing up and having change I'm pro

04:21:26.000 life change my mind as opposed to you know you've been there you know we've

04:21:29.000 had people crying. They want to apply that standard now to be used to impeach

04:21:35.000 a non-sitting president.

04:21:38.000 This is not an attack on Donald Trump.

04:21:41.000 Donald Trump has just been an example.

04:21:43.000 He's been a symbol that they've tried to use.

04:21:45.000 They want to make sure that you all know you are not free to speak.

04:21:50.000 Well, sure, sure, in this country, and we're the only country where we have the First Amendment.

04:21:54.000 I know this because I come from Canada, where we have pastors who are jailed for saying that they won't marry two men in their church.

04:21:59.000 They face jail.

04:22:00.000 You can look at pastors like Stephen Besson and other pastors or Christians who've owned bed and breakfasts. 0.88

04:22:04.000 Of course, you know the bakeries here in the United States.

04:22:06.000 You can find situations like this here in the UK.

04:22:08.000 I have friends who are comedians like Mike Ward who faced a human rights tribunal and a $50,000 fine for telling a joke.

04:22:14.000 The United States is the only country left with the First Amendment where free speech is absolute and they try to chip, chip, chip away at it.

04:22:21.000 It starts with banning you from college campuses.

04:22:24.000 And you say, well it's a private college, they can do whatever they want.

04:22:27.000 Hey, freedom of speech.

04:22:28.000 But when they have pressure exerted on them by student unions and by bodies that have no respect and frankly no consideration for the First Amendment, well now it's no longer an equal playing field.

04:22:38.000 Just because conservatives won't use those tools against liberals since we actually believe in more speech.

04:22:43.000 And then when it happens on the big tech platforms.

04:22:45.000 Right?

04:22:46.000 Where they say, well, hold on a second, you can't say biological male, you have to say she, or you're going to be banned.

04:22:52.000 Or in our case, laughing at a transgender, male to female, though it was still a male with a short haircut and a letterman's jacket, he just happened to be wearing bell-bottoms and high heels, and YouTube said, we're gonna demonetize you for laughing at this person when he committed assault against you.

04:23:07.000 Remember he threw the hobos lunchbox?

04:23:09.000 They said, well, we don't know, we respect free speech, but you can't laugh at a trans male-to-female who's committing assault, because that is also hate speech.

04:23:16.000 So, you have free speech, but you don't really, if you want to speak freely on a college campus, you don't really, if you want to speak in the digital public town square, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google, we're going to make sure that we throttle it, and now they're saying, you don't really have that speech, even if you're a former president of the United States, and you said something unpopular, even if you went out of your way to stipulate peacefully and patriotically.

04:23:39.000 Look, look, let me tell you something, okay?

04:23:42.000 If you are not free, as a former holder of office, to say, the system is rigged, I believe that the system is unfair, which by the way, Democrats did for years, with Russia. 0.57

04:23:53.000 Bernie Sanders did that with the primaries.

04:23:55.000 If you are not free to say, the system is rigged, and we need to examine our elections, and you need to fight like hell, or you won't have a country anymore, make your voice peacefully and patriotically heard.

04:24:06.000 If you are not free to speak that, You are not free to speak.

04:24:12.000 And that's what this is about. 0.73

04:24:14.000 And we just had, what, 54 people say, who gives a rat's... It's not just about the Constitution and the articles of a former sitting president, of a former president.

04:24:22.000 These are charges being brought against a private citizen for speaking freely, and he included the caveat Peaceably.

04:24:32.000 Peacefully and patriotically.

04:24:34.000 And they're saying, no, no, no, no, no.

04:24:35.000 You still can't say that.

04:24:37.000 We're going to come after you. 0.99

04:24:38.000 Constitution be damned. 0.98

04:24:40.000 And that's why we're going to be here this Thursday. 0.97

04:24:43.000 That's why we're going to be here forevermore.

04:24:44.000 That's why we ask that you sign up.

04:24:46.000 Join at Mug Club.

04:24:47.000 You know, lotteryoffcutter.com slash mug club.

04:24:48.000 You enter in the promo code.

04:24:50.000 Fight like hell.

04:24:50.000 You get through.

04:24:51.000 Hello, Joe Lewis.

04:24:52.000 Did you come to say goodbye to everyone?

04:24:54.000 And Joe Lewis, now he's tired.

04:24:54.000 Hello.

04:24:55.000 He needs some food because I've got to take care of him.

04:24:57.000 Look, look, he's going.

04:24:58.000 Oh, hello.

04:24:59.000 That was pretty funny, though.

04:25:00.000 What?

04:25:01.000 That uh, trans running in those high heels. 1.00

04:25:03.000 Oh yeah, it was really funny.

04:25:04.000 How can you not laugh at that beautiful female?

04:25:08.000 Beautiful and brave.

04:25:09.000 Who galloped out.

04:25:11.000 Alright, Joe Louis as well.

04:25:12.000 Look, see Joe Louis.

04:25:13.000 Both his names.

04:25:14.000 Hey, by the way, just in case you thought that we couldn't bridge any divide.

04:25:17.000 Remember how afraid the Hodge twins were?

04:25:19.000 Yeah.

04:25:20.000 How they were of Hopper when he first came in, now look at them playing with Joe Louis.

04:25:23.000 Don't get me wrong, I'll use the secret German code word and he'll attack them after the break, but for the time being, they feel secure. 0.98

04:25:30.000 So listen, this is not, I just want you to understand this, this is not about the President.

04:25:34.000 This is not about the former President.

04:25:36.000 This is not about Section 3, this is not about Section 3, Article 14.

04:25:40.000 This is about the First Amendment and what is happening right now in our country.

04:25:45.000 Look, I think it's crazy for people to say that Joe Biden was going to be arrested on Inauguration Day.

04:25:52.000 The QAnon people say that. 1.00

04:25:54.000 I think it's crazy and I think it's stupid. 0.99

04:25:55.000 And I still think you shouldn't be banned from the public square for thinking something crazy and stupid, just like I don't think Al Gore should be banned from the public square just because he was demanding that three counties be counted so that he could win the 2000 election. 1.00

04:26:08.000 I think it's crazy for Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton to say that Donald Trump was a Russian pawn and that he needs to be impeached. 0.97

04:26:15.000 I think it's crazy, but guess what?

04:26:16.000 I still don't think they should be banned from social media.

04:26:19.000 Because what happens if we allow everyone to speak and the truth to play out ultimately when this is about the institutions that be, meaning big tech, media, and those in the political establishment wanting to prevent the truth from playing out before the public eye?

04:26:38.000 And it's a brilliant charade.

04:26:39.000 It's, hey, we're going to get to the bottom of this.

04:26:40.000 Well, they don't need to present evidence and there's no standard of proof.

04:26:44.000 What they really want to do when they say get to the bottom of this is ensure that a former president, someone who was voted for by 70 million Americans, is not allowed to express the views shared by 70 million Americans.

04:26:58.000 It's not about Donald Trump.

04:27:00.000 It's about 70 million at least!

04:27:03.000 of you out there and your ability to speak freely.

04:27:06.000 Make sure you understand that and you have that clear and hopefully you know that you have some people in your corner including a couple of biracial twins which hey that would have been news to all of us about five years ago they were doing nothing but fitness videos and now we got them on our side it's like they're our secret weapon We're gonna see you on Thursday with Senator Ted Cruz. 0.91

04:27:24.000 Ask him some tough questions and get a legal opinion on that.

04:27:26.000 Hodge Twins, Conservative Twins on YouTube, thank you so much for being here.

04:27:29.000 We're gonna get you some coffee and a cold shower.
