There's always that weird little delay when I start the show, isn't there?
00:00:12.140
There's always that strange little delay when I'm waiting to see if the stream goes live.
00:00:19.600
The first is Lisa Page, the FBI lawyer who was the attorney to some very senior people,
00:00:31.580
She and her boyfriend, Peter Stroke, who were both having extramarital affairs.
00:00:35.760
Well, they exchanged about 50,000 anti-Trump text messages.
00:00:41.640
Well, now in the true spirit of today's FBI and DOJ, the FBI and DOJ that have an absolute disdain
00:00:49.020
for America and for justice, she's defying a congressional subpoena.
00:01:00.480
The other story is about comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, who used to be really funny when he
00:01:03.840
did the Ali G show, and something disgraceful that he did to Sarah Palin.
00:01:16.540
Chat stream is getting busy or you just love the show.
00:01:25.760
No, what it'll do is it'll put your chat up in a very bold banner, a graphic.
00:01:35.220
John Zeeland, good morning, my friend Akash Singh, India National Congress.
00:01:39.280
Don't know what you mean by that, but welcome to the show.
00:01:47.160
Lisa Page, the texting mistress of embattled, disgraced, could-be-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok
00:01:58.380
Now, she was subpoenaed to testify before the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees.
00:02:03.480
They're doing a joint committee meeting, committee hearing.
00:02:07.060
Bob Goodlatte, the chairman of the House Judiciary, is slamming her.
00:02:11.620
Chuck Grassley is chairman of the Senate Judiciary, Bob Goodlatte, of the House.
00:02:19.560
Now, Representative Ron DeSantis is slamming her as well.
00:02:25.640
Quote, Lisa Page is a key witness, and it is critical that she come before our committees
00:02:30.380
to answer questions as part of our investigation.
00:02:36.940
Bob Goodlatte said this, quote, it appears that Lisa Page is something to hide.
00:02:40.320
She has known for months that the House Judiciary Committee has sought her testimony as part
00:02:44.560
of our joint investigation with the Oversight Committee into decisions made by the Justice
00:02:51.540
And she has no excuse for her failure to appear.
00:02:57.940
Ron DeSantis, conservative representative from here in Florida.
00:03:01.680
His district is up on the Treasure Coast near Kennedy Space Center.
00:03:06.800
He's the frontrunner now on the Republican side, and he'll be the big frontrunner.
00:03:11.060
He said, he tweeted yesterday, anti-Trump FBI lawyer Lisa Page defying a congressional
00:03:17.780
subpoena because she doesn't want to answer questions or be held accountable.
00:03:22.100
Representative Jim Jordan said, Lisa Page ignores congressional subpoena, once again showing
00:03:28.780
One set of rules for regular Americans are different.
00:03:31.600
Set of rules for the swamp and House Freedom Caucus leader, Representative Mark Meadows of
00:03:36.740
North Carolina said, the statement from Lisa Page's attorneys could have been better summed
00:03:43.400
We're choosing to ignore a congressional subpoena.
00:03:46.160
Now, Paula Reid, her attorney, basically, I won't read you the whole statement because
00:03:50.680
it's kind of pointless and useless and it's really just a big excuse.
00:03:55.580
Her attorney is saying, well, we didn't have enough time to prepare for this testimony.
00:04:01.620
You've known you were under investigation since 2017.
00:04:07.100
You've known Congress wants to talk to you, but you're claiming you don't have time to
00:04:11.060
Well, then they changed their statement a little bit and said, well, we needed documents from
00:04:17.000
We went up to FBI headquarters, Lisa Page and her lawyer, in this statement through her
00:04:22.220
We went up to FBI headquarters and they made us sit around for three hours and they didn't
00:04:27.080
Now, that I believe because the FBI won't even give documents to Congress, nor will
00:04:33.980
So the whole thing is just really, really, really pathetic, really pathetic.
00:04:41.220
And John Zeland says, Trump kicking ass at NATO.
00:04:44.280
But I want to do NATO tomorrow because I want to see what shakes out today.
00:04:49.240
I think things are going to get really frosty today with their responses and everything else.
00:04:52.980
So, John, I'm glad you brought it up because I know people will want to know about NATO.
00:04:55.700
But I'm going to do NATO tomorrow because I think we're going to have a lot more content.
00:04:59.560
And I'm sure Trump is going to give us some thingers.
00:05:02.300
I'm sure he's going to insult people to the point where I'm going to laugh trying to tell
00:05:08.840
And then these stories today are pretty topical.
00:05:11.860
Well, of course, Lisa Page is defying a subpoena.
00:05:14.760
Now, Peter Strzok is set to testify tomorrow to the joint committee.
00:05:18.840
I think he's scheduled for something like two hours.
00:05:23.540
He's going to be as smug and defiant as he was in the closed-door committee meeting.
00:05:27.840
Hell, why would he tell the American people anything that he wouldn't tell Congress people
00:05:34.020
in a classified setting, in a closed-door setting?
00:05:36.920
I think he's going to be smug, defiant, plead the fifth.
00:05:39.880
Now, any other, any other, excuse me, any other sitting FBI agent hold that thought
00:05:50.760
Well, they already probably would have been fired.
00:05:53.500
See, the FBI has a different administrative process for firing than other agencies under DOJ.
00:05:59.500
The DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, for example, there's an administrative process
00:06:05.800
The FBI treats their agents more like private sector employees.
00:06:10.160
You're essentially, they used to call it an at-will employee.
00:06:15.320
Well, I would say, while you're on the taxpayer clock, sending your mistress 50,000 biased text
00:06:22.540
messages against an investigative subject over your government phones, that's cause to be fired.
00:06:29.100
I would assume, on any planet, as the FBI, James Comey, former FBI Director James Comey likes to say,
00:06:36.560
any reasonable prosecutor, any reasonable person, any reasonable.
00:06:43.820
And so we now have Lisa Page and Peter Strzok being incredibly defiant.
00:06:52.200
Lisa Page, in all probability, isn't defying the subpoena because she doesn't have some records.
00:06:57.720
She's defying the subpoena because she's screwed.
00:07:01.540
If she flees the fifth, she looks ridiculously guilty.
00:07:05.840
If she tells the truth, she sinks a lot, a lot of people and probably exposes Mueller.
00:07:12.440
And you could bet your bottom dollar that right now, Lisa Page, Lisa Page is being pressured
00:07:23.600
And MD Meditech, I'm going to read one comment right now because it's pertinent.
00:07:29.260
So Rosenstein probably gave all the documents the committee didn't ask for by last try and
00:07:35.740
Oh, OK, she's saying that they didn't, that Rosenstein didn't provide documents.
00:07:39.780
No, I don't think they're going to even slow drip the documents out.
00:07:42.580
I think whatever the FBI and DOJ has is so damning, so damning that too many heads would
00:07:49.700
roll and they are terrified doing damage control.
00:07:52.380
But again, Lisa Page refusing to testify, Peter Strzok being this smug dick, to be quite
00:08:02.080
They are they are proving, proving that Jeff Sessions is completely, completely checked out,
00:08:10.700
completely powerless, powerless, terrible, terrible, terrible.
00:08:16.720
We have zero leadership at the Department of Justice.
00:08:19.800
The FBI is a subordinate agency to the Department of Justice.
00:08:22.460
The FBI director reports to the United States Attorney General.
00:08:26.260
The United States Attorney General is doing nothing.
00:08:30.020
This this ridiculous dog and pony show appointing John Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, a special
00:08:37.300
There's a big difference between a special prosecutor and a special counsel, a special
00:08:42.400
counsel acts, as you see with Mueller, as its own sort of independent mini Department
00:08:47.920
of Justice, a tremendous power, too much power, unconstitutional.
00:08:53.320
Many argue that I now am convinced it's unconstitutional.
00:08:58.180
But critically, though, I wouldn't mind seeing a second special counsel because the first special
00:09:04.960
So I think we need a second special counsel to investigate the first special counsel, and
00:09:10.560
If DOJ is too incompetent or too powerless to do the job, then let's change the top of
00:09:17.820
They run like a mini DOJ, a lot of power, a lot of power, their own budget, autonomous.
00:09:22.880
A special prosecutor that Huber is, is merely a United States attorney from one district
00:09:28.380
with an extended geographical mandate to work in a different district.
00:09:32.160
The problem there is Huber still reports to Rosenstein, who's the number two man at DOJ.
00:09:47.020
Well, Brendan Hall, you don't need to impeach Jeff Sessions.
00:09:49.300
He serves at the leisure of the president of the United States.
00:09:51.800
The president can fire the attorney general because it's a rainy Tuesday and the president
00:09:57.060
The executive branch, the president of the United States, doesn't need any reason to
00:10:04.800
He doesn't need any reason to fire his attorney general.
00:10:08.380
He doesn't need any reason to fire any cabinet secretary, administrator, anybody under his
00:10:15.880
Now, Meditech also just referenced the book, Alan Dershowitz's new book, The Case Against
00:10:20.500
Impeaching Trump, the last sane Democrat in the U.S.
00:10:22.720
I've spoken to Alan Dershowitz several times over the last couple of weeks on this, and
00:10:27.980
he thinks that Robert Mueller's investigation is patently unconstitutional.
00:10:32.700
He believes special counsels are unconstitutional.
00:10:37.900
Under Bill Clinton, he believed that Fitzgerald was during George W. Bush, and he believes
00:10:43.580
And Alan Dershowitz is being excoriated for this.
00:10:46.940
A longtime friend of his up on Martha's Vineyard said she wanted to dab him in the chest.
00:10:51.900
To dab him in the chest because of his support for Trump.
00:10:58.160
Gail Cochman is asking me, do I think Jeff Sessions is doing nothing because he knows
00:11:09.600
Jeff Sessions needs to be up on a podium saying, I realize there are issues.
00:11:14.760
Jeff Sessions, I will tell you this from my sources in D.C., he is completely checked out.
00:11:19.380
I was asked by people about a month and a half ago, very close to the White House, to
00:11:25.120
They said there may be more going on behind the scenes.
00:11:32.640
About a week and a half after that, they said, nope, false alarm.
00:11:38.600
I had somebody very, very close to the president of the United States say to me, Jeff Sessions
00:11:46.580
Don't believe, again, I tell you every day, don't believe these QAnon conspiracies and
00:11:50.900
Jeff Sessions, his stealthy assassin behind the scenes, taking down the deep state.
00:11:55.800
Jeff Sessions was the deep state for decades in the Senate.
00:12:01.040
Jeff Sessions thought he was going to go out there, prosecute legal weed, do some civil
00:12:04.140
asset seizure, go after immigration and have an easy run as a criminally centric attorney
00:12:09.420
He never thought he was going to have to deal with massive, massive institutional government
00:12:15.620
Jeff Sessions, maybe he knows more than he's letting on, but he ain't going to do anything
00:12:20.000
Okay, Jeff Sessions is not this stealthy, silent assassin in the background.
00:12:25.600
James Farmer asks, why was Rod Rosenstein and Giuliani smiling at each other like they're
00:12:31.320
They both worked in the Department of Justice for many, many, many years.
00:12:35.200
That doesn't mean that they won't be adversarial.
00:12:48.820
I'm sure over the years, their families have gotten to know each other.
00:13:00.220
Giuliani's career began in the Department of Justice.
00:13:03.240
He was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.
00:13:05.640
He was a very well-known federal prosecutor prior to that appointment.
00:13:14.340
For years, these guys were senior DOJ people and colleagues.
00:13:17.800
But it doesn't mean that all that doesn't change.
00:13:23.620
Because at the end of the day, I think Rudy Giuliani is perplexed by all this.
00:13:31.360
But Rudy Giuliani's mayoralty in New York back in the 1990s from 1994, he actually was
00:13:42.220
In New York City, he has mayor elections on off years.
00:13:50.220
Rudy Giuliani was up for re-election two months after 9-11.
00:14:05.100
But the city commission, the city council didn't want to do it.
00:14:08.940
They did it then for Bloomberg because he paid for it.
00:14:12.920
But Giuliani ran New York City through the 1990s.
00:14:15.980
And if you remember anything about it, that's when I was with the police department.
00:14:19.820
Giuliani's mayoralty was really a microcosm of Trump's presidency.
00:14:23.320
He treated the media the same way as very hostile.
00:14:29.740
But he actually ran as a Republican liberal, interestingly enough.
00:14:33.900
Giuliani was pretty open-minded on social issues.
00:14:38.880
He just wanted to get from A to B in the most efficient way possible and make B a success.
00:14:42.600
So that's how Giuliani is now treating his role as Trump's attorney.
00:14:46.100
And Lisa Page, back to the topic at hand, the FBI lawyer who's now defying a congressional subpoena, is giving him even more ammunition.
00:15:00.220
After the Seth Rich disclosure yesterday, Rosenstein is implicated as one of the most crooked of the crux.
00:15:05.240
I don't believe that a DEA and an ATF agent killed Seth Rich.
00:15:09.240
I know Jack Berkman, the radio host, the TV host, behind this.
00:15:16.680
I think Jack's a really good guy and he's a really smart guy.
00:15:21.360
And I think that they are putting together very loosely collected investigative evidence to come up with a theory that'll get them some media attention.
00:15:42.120
And they're spreading dangerously close to implicating law enforcement people in something they didn't do.
00:15:52.220
But what's worse is that we have Lisa Page defying a congressional subpoena.
00:16:02.020
But Peter Strzok is going to show up and he's going to do what we expect him to do, right?
00:16:12.500
He's going to treat it as his little playground.
00:16:21.960
James Comey was criminally referred to DOJ by Congress.
00:16:26.140
Peter Strzok gets to go to work every day in the FBI with a badge and a gun, right?
00:16:30.060
He was escorted out of the building that one time probably because they were searching his office.
00:16:34.440
Last I heard, he's back in the building if he so wishes.
00:16:37.740
Lisa Strzok was able to voluntarily leave the FBI.
00:16:40.480
We know that these agencies were weaponized against Donald Trump.
00:16:46.360
We know that the FISA warrant was obtained under false pretenses.
00:16:54.040
David Biles, I'm going to get to Sacha Baron Cohen in a moment.
00:17:03.140
So MD asks, fair statement, Ari Sessions, but what's next?
00:17:06.260
Why doesn't Trump eject the useless son of a gun and replace with somebody who will actually act?
00:17:13.500
Jeff Sessions got there and he thought it was going to be a typical attorney general run.
00:17:19.020
Prosecute some crimes, have a couple of high profile cases.
00:17:21.660
He never thought he had to take on the entire U.S. government's defense.
00:17:24.940
Many of those people, colleagues of his for decades, all right?
00:17:34.660
The reason Trump can't just replace him is Mitch McConnell.
00:17:40.300
Mitch McConnell has made it clear to the president.
00:17:41.860
I've been told this by many, many sources in D.C., very close to the White House.
00:17:46.200
And it comports, I was even told this by the chief of staff, to a sitting U.S. senator who disagrees with this.
00:17:54.660
Mitch McConnell basically went to the president and said, Jeff's our guy.
00:18:00.800
If Jeff gets tired and he steps down on his own, do what you want to do.
00:18:05.380
But until then, he's staying attorney general if you want to get your judges.
00:18:13.260
Mitch McConnell and the other old guard senators want their buddy Jeff Sessions as AG.
00:18:17.600
And they don't want him to be embarrassed with the firing.
00:18:20.100
The help of the country and the confidence in federal law enforcement be damned.
00:18:31.000
Institutional senators, not as sexy or conspiratorial as you think.
00:18:36.420
Nah, it's just that his buddies in the Senate don't want to see him fired in disgrace.
00:18:40.240
So they're playing a political game and saying, hey, look, you fired Jeff Sessions.
00:18:47.520
Well, then you're stuck with Rod Rosenstein really running the Department of Justice.
00:19:03.900
The IG report, if you really dig into the IG report, the IG report really only finds administrative
00:19:11.460
When you understand how to read these things, and you've dealt with them over the years,
00:19:22.860
Now, with regards to Peter Strzok, nothing he's done to date appears to be prosecutable.
00:19:29.840
Sending text messages should be fireable, but it's not criminal.
00:19:34.300
However, if we find out that he altered the 302s, the witness report, and those alterations
00:19:42.320
resulted in charges against people like General Flynn and George Papadopoulos, well, then we're
00:19:50.680
Then we're talking about criminal charges, evidence tampering, big ones.
00:20:01.620
But if we had an ethical and honest system and an investigative process and infrastructure,
00:20:06.580
then we'd probably see criminal charges if, big if, they could prove they had probable
00:20:17.620
That's a big if right now when you look at the totality of everything else going on, the
00:20:26.900
MD says, so put the bloody arm on McConnell to convince Sessions to move out.
00:20:33.280
Right now, we've got a Supreme Court judge to get through and about 100 other appointments
00:20:40.420
Politics being what they are, right now McConnell's holding the cards on that sort of thing.
00:20:49.600
Trump will, but that's just the ebb and flow nature of politics.
00:20:55.040
Now, if more damning information surfaces that really put Sessions in a negative light,
00:21:01.220
well, then you have leverage on McConnell, right?
00:21:02.820
Then you go to McConnell and you say, OK, Mitch, you're going to convince him to step down
00:21:07.360
or we're going to bring this to light and we're going to go to the American people and
00:21:10.200
tell them that you're the reason he's staying as attorney general, that you will not confirm
00:21:16.440
Trump goes out there and he says, hey, Rosenstein's worse.
00:21:28.260
But Gail Kochman brings up an interesting point or Kochman, Gail.
00:21:34.280
Well, you talked about the FISA warrant application that Rosenstein said.
00:21:40.880
At any other point in history, he'd be called to task on that.
00:22:00.100
And mind you, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page are not really senior people.
00:22:16.540
She wasn't a gun and badge carrying sworn FBI agent.
00:22:24.220
And she, Cheesy45, says, thanks for the stream.
00:22:37.120
She was a lawyer who happened to start sleeping with an agent who was in the know.
00:22:43.000
What you find is that many, many government agencies are institutionally Democrat.
00:22:49.720
Government employees who like power like big government.
00:23:00.240
You're never going to be able to clean that out.
00:23:04.400
I've always liked Sessions, but this has really scummed him up.
00:23:07.580
Never thought Sessions was a coward, but that's the only word for this.
00:23:12.960
I think he's an honorable man, but he was a senator a lot of years.
00:23:18.320
And when you're one of 100, it's very hard to be the top guy.
00:23:22.120
When you're one of 100 and you were never the leader, you were never leadership, majority
00:23:26.260
leader, the leader, you weren't a governor, you weren't in an executive position, very
00:23:33.220
hard to then take the reins of an executive level agency and not manage by consensus.
00:23:42.040
He fell back on his Senate experience and he managed by consensus, consulting with Rosenstein
00:23:48.040
and Bruce Ohr and James Comey at the time, all people working against Donald Trump.
00:23:56.060
He was advised to do many, many things to weaken him at DOJ.
00:24:00.320
Because again, he was so used to being a senator, one of 100, that he didn't know how to step
00:24:04.860
in and say, no, no, no, I want everything on my desk by 730 tomorrow morning.
00:24:13.580
And if I determine heads are going to roll, they're going to roll.
00:24:19.700
But Jeff Sessions wasn't in that role for 30 some odd years.
00:24:22.920
He was one of 100 senators who had to go along to get along, to cut deals, to get stuff done.
00:24:32.500
Many people call it the second most difficult political job in the country after president.
00:24:36.680
Giuliani would have gone in and said exactly that.
00:24:39.120
On my desk, I want to know what the hell is going on.
00:24:41.500
I'm going to make decisions and heads are going to roll.
00:24:52.660
777 is asking them, why are the upper echelon stalling and slow walking all the documents,
00:24:57.820
possibly jeopardizing themselves in the process?
00:25:04.640
They're the people who have to make the call to prosecute themselves.
00:25:09.000
Trump is being advised by lawyers inside the White House to not appoint a second special counsel to go easy.
00:25:22.700
But he needs a second special counsel to investigate the first special counsel on the Department of Justice.
00:25:27.880
Because the Office of Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, still reports to Jeff Sessions.
00:25:37.520
Can't investigate yourself when there's extensive wrongdoing in your ranks.
00:25:49.000
Or we need the Office of Inspector General to no longer fall under the Department of Justice.
00:25:55.620
The OIG, after this, might need to be an independent entity who reports only to the President of the United States.
00:26:03.540
It's a lateral agency to DOJ, equal in power, where its agency head is cabinet level.
00:26:11.080
And they report to the President, the Chief of Staff of the White House.
00:26:15.120
But I would even want them to report only to the President, bypassing the Chief of Staff.
00:26:31.320
I thought he was pretty damn funny when he did it.
00:26:37.520
And the show is called, what's this show called?
00:26:44.480
Well, in it, Cohen and his European frailty, you know, the little beta boy,
00:26:57.100
Now, full disclosure, I've gotten to know Sarah Palin.
00:27:03.620
They did nothing to deserve their attacks when they ran.
00:27:06.360
And when she ran as VP in 2008 alongside Don McCain.
00:27:17.980
We sort of put together the same event where she was the keynote speaker.
00:27:23.020
And we have a mutual colleague, a very close friend of mine, is a close friend of hers.
00:27:29.500
And actually spent a really interesting day with Sarah Palin at the Smithsonian when I was in D.C.
00:27:35.400
We got a private tour of the Smithsonian's gun collection.
00:27:43.600
Anyway, Sarah Palin was asked by Sacha Baron Cohen to travel across the country to be interviewed.
00:27:52.200
She thought she was being asked to travel across the country.
00:27:57.600
She thought she was going across the country to be interviewed by a disabled veteran.
00:28:01.660
She thought she was helping out a veterans charity.
00:28:04.000
When she got there, it was Cohen disguised as a disabled veteran, mocking her, mocking Americans.
00:28:19.700
It quote, out of respect for what I was led to believe would be a straight, would be a thoughtful discussion with someone who had served in uniform.
00:28:25.340
I sat through a long interview full of Hollywoodisms, disrespect, and sarcasm.
00:28:31.660
But finally had enough, and literally, physically removed my mic and walked out, much to Cohen's chagrin.
00:28:38.060
The disrespect of our U.S. military and middle class Americans via Cohen's foreign commentaries under the guise of interview questions was perverse.
00:28:48.320
He went on to say, mock politicians and innocent public personalities all you want, if that lets you sleep at night.
00:28:54.220
But, how dare you mock those who have fought in Sarah Dara country?
00:29:02.040
Now, Sarah Palin's son served in combat in Iraq.
00:29:10.700
The father of which is Dakota Meyer, the Medal of Honor recipient.
00:29:17.220
But even if they weren't, how disgraceful, how disgraceful of Sacha Baron Cohen to mock disabled veterans.
00:29:34.080
And I think Sacha Baron Cohen is a reprehensible, sick piece of trash to use a disabled veteran persona.
00:29:45.640
Somebody in their 20s that might have lost limbs.
00:29:48.160
How sick do you have to be to impersonate one of these American heroes so you can mock somebody and degrade them and insult them?
00:30:01.080
Hollywood is really devoid of morals and values and ethics.
00:30:14.220
But I want to go back to some of your comments on Mueller.
00:30:28.200
Well, Con David said he hoped for a Mueller-style investigation that investigated Hillary and her gang.
00:30:36.700
And Morgana Dundee said, if I told government auditors at the bank where I work, sorry, but I defy you.
00:30:46.800
If any other American, any other person in the world defied the law as much as people in this Department of Justice and FBI, they'd be in prison already.
00:30:57.580
General Flynn has already had already plead guilty for a bogus charge of misstatements.
00:31:03.800
If you're a conservative, if you're not aligned with Hillary Clinton's cabal, you get criminally charged.
00:31:12.780
John Zeland says, and presumably Jeff Sessions, little possum let down Trump.
00:31:20.800
Trump will replace him after the Russia witch hunt is over.
00:31:26.000
And yeah, he was pressured to give him the job.
00:31:37.940
Brian London says, I'm going to have to wait till I see what Sasha actually puts out.
00:31:51.120
I know she wouldn't lie about this because of her family's military sacrifices.
00:32:00.360
I do think, however, there are certain things that could be off limits.
00:32:04.940
Impersonating disabled veterans to mock conservatives should be one of them.
00:32:14.240
I'm entitled to mine, thinking anybody that would do it is a reprehensible piece of trash.
00:32:24.880
But you know, it goes to the, I want to go back to Brian's point about seeing what he puts out.
00:32:30.200
Doesn't that enable, if we, if we on the right say, well, we want to see what he puts out.
00:32:38.660
Doesn't that encourage Showtime to air it and them to profit off of it?
00:32:43.180
And by the way, Sarah Palin wants Showtime not to air it.
00:32:45.720
But if they do air it, he said, and I agree with her, they should donate all the proceeds to a veterans charity, all the profits, the veterans charity.
00:33:01.160
But they should, they should donate all the, all the proteins, veteran charities.
00:33:06.160
But to Brian, your point, if we say, well, let's be more open-minded.
00:33:13.420
Doesn't that encourage them to just keep doing it?
00:33:15.580
Look, this other moron, Michelle Wolf, that idiot who performed at the White House Correspondents Dinner, who, who, uh, insulted Sarah Huckabee Sanders for no reason.
00:33:24.960
Her appearance, by the way, Michelle Wolf is, is gross.
00:33:27.340
She's insulting Sarah Huckabee Sanders, like, honey, look in the mirror.
00:33:31.420
Now she had a special on Showtime where she was doing a salute to abortion for Independence Day here in the U.S.
00:33:52.520
Female white conservative says, I love Sarah Palin.
00:33:59.460
Gail Cottman says, like, filthy Peter Fonda and disgusting De Niro.
00:34:06.080
Hollywood, the Hollywood elites, they hate us normal Americans.
00:34:22.620
No, they're better in their little elite bubble.
00:34:30.820
I wonder why he never considered Giuliani for AJ before he hired Sessions.
00:34:41.940
And Trump just didn't think he was the right guy for secretary of state.
00:34:44.760
And that's why Giuliani was not appointed attorney general.
00:34:50.260
He said to Trump, look, I don't want to be attorney general.
00:34:56.460
And I'll help you out and advise you from time to time.
00:35:06.380
What I was told is Rudy Giuliani had prostate cancer back in the day.
00:35:14.320
And Trump just didn't feel that he had the, as Trump says, stamina to be secretary of state.
00:35:25.040
Decided to not take a job with the administration at all.
00:35:27.760
I think in retrospect, he realizes it was a bad move.
00:35:29.860
He should have taken the attorney general spot.
00:35:35.920
And Moondoggle says, Michelle Wolf said, says, God bless abortion.
00:35:44.380
Supposedly there's a witness to the Seth Rich murder.
00:35:51.960
This is a very shoddy investigation, a very loose fact pattern.
00:35:56.120
I'm not giving this any credibility whatsoever.
00:36:00.180
I think this is just more crazy conspiracy nonsense.
00:36:16.200
Goldie 400 says, what's my view on Britain overall?
00:36:18.840
Great people, dysfunctional leadership right now.
00:36:26.980
They're witty and they're funny and they're cool.
00:36:28.580
And they're, you know, many of them are as conservative as we are here in the U.S.
00:36:31.800
Unfortunately, they're just burdened by dysfunctional leadership, especially in London.
00:36:48.500
I heard Rudy Giuliani stated they regretted that decision, Gail says, about not taking AG's job.
00:36:55.540
You know, I worked with many people who know Rudy very well back in New York.
00:37:11.500
I can tell you that from somebody I worked with in the police department, who's a good friend, who's very close to Rudy.
00:37:22.940
Anthony Emmerich says, Trump sort of dissed Chris Christie, too.
00:37:27.720
Trump couldn't have Chris Christie in the administration.
00:37:29.400
I don't know if you guys know this, but Chris Christie was the U.S. attorney in New Jersey who prosecuted and put Jared Kushner's dad in prison.
00:37:38.160
I've heard having those two guys in the White House together or in the administration together.
00:37:45.160
Jared Kushner and Chris Christie cannot stand each other.
00:37:48.160
Christie prosecuted and imprisoned Jared Kushner's dad.
00:38:04.320
It was given to me by my former neighbor, my former neighbor when I lived in Miami.
00:38:14.480
They were in their 80s and they were a Cuban couple.
00:38:17.820
And he was a member of Task Force 2506 that was the pro-freedom rebels fighting Castro at the Bay of Pigs.
00:38:29.960
He would tell me these amazing stories, show me these amazing photos.
00:38:33.060
John F. Kennedy, of course, left him on the beach to die.
00:38:35.080
The Democrats were even dysfunctional back then.
00:38:39.160
And when I moved out of the neighborhood, he gave me that.
00:38:45.540
And the backstory behind it is pretty damn cool.
00:38:49.220
And in their late 80s now and still kicking, still doing really well.
00:38:56.600
And having a talk for an hour straight exacerbates it.
00:39:02.660
But yeah, they were their own greatest generation.
00:39:08.940
Yeah, Anthony Emmerich says, oh, yeah, real awkward.
00:39:12.640
Yeah, it would have been pretty awkward having Jared Kushner, senior advisor to the president,
00:39:16.260
having to sit in meetings with the guy who put his dad in prison.
00:39:18.560
So, it's, yeah, that would have been a little odd.
00:39:27.420
Eli Guy says, asking for Jerusalem, any, and by the way, thanks for tuning in.
00:39:33.400
Any hope for cleansing the USA from its Sodom and Gomorrah corruption?
00:39:40.620
It's going to take a lot to clean out the deep state.
00:39:45.160
No, because there's no political test for a government job.
00:39:54.860
Is there a chance of reducing it significantly?
00:40:09.900
And Anthony Emmerich says about Jared Kushner and Chris Christie, oh, yeah, technical knockout.
00:40:17.180
I might have to steal that from you and use it.
00:40:31.260
Sean Rufus says, Sarah Palin is the kind of woman I'm looking to marry.
00:40:47.580
As I am a Brit, I cannot believe how bad it has become.
00:40:51.640
That's how America felt for eight years under Barack Obama.
00:40:58.340
People, you're starting to hear whispers about TM Boris Johnson, aren't you?
00:41:08.560
Without Jimmy Carter, we wouldn't have had Ronald Reagan.
00:41:10.360
Without Barack Obama, we wouldn't have had Donald Trump.
00:41:14.940
It really needs to get pretty dark before people see the light and do the right thing
00:41:29.880
Bass Chica says, I just wish we'd see some equal justice to make an example of some of
00:41:46.080
They love corruption and they love obstruction of justice as long as it suits their agenda.
00:41:50.740
But here's the more important part of your point, Bass Chica.
00:42:03.180
Tremendous crisis of confidence in federal law enforcement.
00:42:07.000
And if we can't trust the FBI, if we can't trust the DOJ, well, who do we trust?
00:42:15.040
I'm not saying trust government, but we have to at least know that investigations are being
00:42:18.560
handled, excuse me, investigations and prosecutions are being handled fairly, ethically, impartially.
00:42:29.040
John Zeland says, U.S. Ambassador is talking up Trump-Boris Johnson meeting further below to
00:42:34.960
The other day I said to you guys, by the skin of her teeth, Theresa May might survive this.
00:42:44.740
And at this point, it's looking like she shouldn't.
00:42:49.160
Outdaft UK says, and you're right, it could still get worse in the UK.
00:43:00.740
will be 400 says, will Britain become great again?
00:43:13.020
I was 11 years old when Ronald Reagan was in office.
00:43:25.880
And now I watched Barack Obama nearly destroy this country, Goldie, and throw it off a cliff.
00:43:32.680
Goldie, as Anthony Emmerich says, it will keep your head high.
00:43:36.680
And then we got Donald Trump and Donald Trump righted the ship, pun intended.
00:43:41.100
He undid eight years of Obama disaster, Goldie, in like a year, 18 months now.
00:44:03.020
You're going to be the informed voter who pushes socialism out.
00:44:12.800
You're the one who's got to be out there driving the charge.
00:44:24.700
Christopher Elliott says, greetings from the Mountain State, West Virginia.
00:44:29.280
One of the most beautiful places I have ever been.
00:44:36.340
One of the places on my short list to buy some property.
00:44:39.160
You guys have an absolutely beautiful, beautiful state up there.
00:44:51.200
Moved his family there and set up his law practice there.
00:44:56.980
Allie Klein is telling Gouldie, don't ever lose hope.
00:45:06.900
Says, foundations of truth and justice has crumbled.
00:45:17.840
MD says, yeah, my first legal vote was for Ronald Reagan as president.
00:45:48.180
And I love that Trump is calling her an ally of Russia.
00:45:50.280
We're going to do NATO tomorrow because I'm sure there are going to be some many, many
00:45:55.860
David Blythe says, anyone else think the baby Trump balloon is cute?
00:46:00.280
If they are trying to make fun of him with that, they failed.
00:46:04.300
And Trump's going to have some funny comment about it.
00:46:06.100
And people here in the U.S. are laughing at it and think Sadiq Khan is an absolute moron.
00:46:22.100
MD says to David Blythe, did you see where a GoFundMe was set up and almost instantly
00:46:35.200
We're going to see if that thing gets going and if they pull the permit on that.
00:46:52.440
Now I'm hearing on very good authority that Joe Manchin is going to be a yes vote on Kavanaugh
00:46:57.760
to save his skin when he needs to run for re-election.
00:47:01.740
So Christopher Elliott, let me ask you an honest question and I hope you respond to me here.
00:47:05.520
What is the real sentiment toward Joe Manchin in West Virginia?
00:47:22.420
So you're telling me that Christopher Elliott saying again, Joe Manchin.
00:47:25.160
And for those that don't know, Joe Manchin was governor of West Virginia.
00:47:33.080
But then he'll caucus with Democrats and disappoint the more conservative base.
00:47:37.120
So Christopher Elliott is saying Joe Manchin walked through a parade last year and was booed
00:47:44.540
Well, he's got to either switch parties and become a conservative or he's got to go.
00:47:50.360
So what do you think, Christopher, the chances of West Virginians voting him out when he's
00:47:53.840
up for re-election are if he doesn't switch over to the Republican Party.
00:48:03.180
Red Sox says someone needs to take an air rifle to that Trump balloon.
00:48:06.860
Well, in England, you'd probably go to jail for like 2,000 years for merely possessing
00:48:14.840
Christopher Elliott says southern West Virginia loves Joe Manchin.
00:48:21.420
Like I said, I think you have an absolutely beautiful state.
00:48:23.240
I just don't understand the political breakdown of your state geographically all that well.
00:48:28.880
OK, so explain why northern West Virginia loves Joe Manchin and southern northern West
00:48:35.320
Rich Abe says Joe Jeff Sessions is a swamp creature.
00:48:40.420
I think he's just really, really beaten down by the swamp.
00:48:43.040
Meditech says they'll presumably meaning the conservative Democrats will vote yes on Kavanaugh
00:48:48.780
So what I was told yesterday by someone in Alabama who's got someone in Doug Jones, the
00:48:55.400
Democratic senator's office, the guy who was just elected because Roy Moore was a terrible
00:49:01.300
They're working on Donnelly from Indiana because they know their constituency will not tolerate.
00:49:06.720
They're both in pretty conservative states now, and their constituencies will not tolerate
00:49:19.880
John Zeland says you can't be a flip flopper forever.
00:49:25.560
Christopher Elliott, coal union loves Democrats.
00:49:31.820
The Democrats want to destroy the coal industry.
00:49:39.500
Rather, they want to socialize it under the Bureau of Land Management, which generates
00:49:42.600
about $2 billion a year off coal while regulating the private coal industry out of existence.
00:49:50.140
Gouldy says, my dad, my father gave me the views I have today.
00:49:57.400
You can have him watch the show and chat with us.
00:50:24.740
Can't understand why the coal unions vote for Democrats.
00:50:28.440
I don't understand why any industry would vote for Democrats.
00:50:35.260
Left to their own devices, Democrats would destroy the private sector.
00:50:45.700
The environmental lobbies want to regulate it out of existence.
00:50:55.560
Help the Grain asks, are assault knives available in the UK?
00:51:13.600
Soon you're not going to be able to butter your bread in the UK.
00:51:17.520
Until somebody gets cut with a spoon, they're going to ban those.
00:51:21.620
That's how you're going to have to cut your steak.
00:51:25.560
Good Bell Garner says, why does no one talk about Northern Ireland
00:51:32.140
Got to talk about the whole world where guns have been seized by oppressive governments.
00:51:52.840
I thought you were talking about something here.
00:51:56.260
Someone was arrested for carrying a potato peeler in the UK.
00:52:08.600
Felix Coates says, I do have a question concerning coal, if I may.
00:52:11.440
Assuming the trade war with China keeps on going and China's economy implodes
00:52:14.580
from population problems and built-in economic rackets.
00:52:29.520
I think in the U.S. is going to become the largest producer and exporter of oil by 2023.
00:52:35.600
I saw a story that that timeline might even be accelerated.
00:52:40.020
energy industry is going to be doing just fine.
00:52:46.940
There's a lot of tension in my school between Muslims and white boys.
00:52:52.780
You guys have a problem with that over in the U.K.
00:53:02.040
Once you're in one of those special units, you're always in one of those special units.
00:53:17.100
SEAL Team 4 and then over to SEAL Team 6 for his last five years.
00:53:25.380
These guys are always SEALs or Royal Marines or U.S. Marines.
00:53:31.180
Thank him for his outstanding, outstanding service.
00:53:34.000
Yeah, look, Christopher's talking about Democrats in West Virginia.
00:53:40.600
We have a lot of comments coming in about that.
00:53:43.200
Look, Democrats are, Christopher Stein can be forgetting his name correct.
00:54:02.300
Well, I think they're in major trouble during the midterms.
00:54:04.540
And the Supreme Court, speaking of unions, the Supreme Court just ruled against, well,
00:54:08.340
a couple of weeks ago, before the end of the term, ruled against public sector unions.
00:54:12.160
They can no longer charge dues to those who don't want to be members.
00:54:15.480
But those non-members can still benefit from the collective bargaining.
00:54:19.080
So I think you're going to see more and more people drop out of the union.
00:54:23.160
Why deal with their socialism and their dictatorial style if you don't have to?
00:54:27.080
And you can still benefit from the collective bargaining.
00:54:31.220
I think that there's going to be a tremendous exodus from unions, people left to their own devices.
00:54:43.280
I think they were necessary at a time when we didn't have cell phone cameras and regulatory agencies
00:54:47.240
making sure that factories and dangerous workplaces were safe.
00:54:50.600
But now they simply exist as an arm of the Democratic Party, as a shadow form of socialist institution.
00:54:57.400
And they donate most of their money to Democrats.
00:55:00.420
I don't think there's any reason for unions anymore.
00:55:03.880
Good Bye Garner says, did you hear about the guy in the UK that defended himself from a robbery in his home
00:55:08.480
and is now being charged with a racial hate crime?
00:55:13.000
I shouldn't say many, but I've seen several of these come out of the UK.
