The left is incensed that Donald Trump called MS-13 gang members "animals." Is it possible that Trump was referring to them as "savage" or "animal" gang members? Is he right or is he correct?

00:00:00.000 Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, the left is absolutely hysterical that Donald Trump
00:00:05.340 insulted MS-13. It's the one-year anniversary of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation
00:00:11.960 and he's investigating retweets, an egregious leak of sensitive information in the Michael
00:00:19.600 Cohen case. I'll tell you all about it. And leftists in California are launching a new war
00:00:26.100 on free popcorn.
00:00:30.000 The left is absolutely inconsolable that Donald Trump had the audacity to call MS-13 gang
00:00:40.240 members, raping, murdering MS-13 gang members, animals. Now, I personally prefer savages,
00:00:48.720 graceful savages, disgusting savages, reprehensible savages, but animals work. I don't use animals, 0.91
00:00:53.700 I have dogs and my dogs are really sweet and they jump up on my lap at night and they watch
00:00:57.340 TV with me and I have horses and I go out and I see my horses at the farm where I aboard
00:01:01.920 them and they come over to the fence and they put their head on yours and they're really,
00:01:06.240 really sweet. But in context, animals work still. It's just my reference point. I prefer
00:01:10.000 to call MS-13 savages. But apparently that is people like Andrea Mitchell, television personality
00:01:16.100 Andrea Mitchell, very upset. Democratic representative Eric Swalwell is beside himself. Conservative
00:01:21.660 blogger Jennifer Rubin. Can't believe the president would call MS-13 savages. I'm going to give you
00:01:27.360 some cases, recent cases in which MS-13 exhibited what I consider beyond savagery. But first,
00:01:34.840 let's talk a little about the history of MS-13. Now, I've brought you that on the show before.
00:01:39.120 We've spoken about the history of MS-13. And just to recap, in case you didn't watch or you don't know,
00:01:45.460 MS-13 stands for Mara Salvatrucha 13. It's a Salvadoran gang. They became MS-13 proper here 0.51
00:01:52.960 in the U.S. They had factions in El Salvador, but they really galvanized. They really became cohesive
00:01:59.100 as a criminal enterprise here in the U.S. The interesting thing about MS-13 is that only in
00:02:04.400 certain areas are they really their own little drug cartel. In many other areas, they're very
00:02:09.600 fragmented. There's no real hierarchy. They can just prop up primarily Hispanic, typically Salvadoran 0.99
00:02:17.320 immigrants. They take some Hondurans, Nicaraguans, Guatemalans, not so much Mexicans, but when 0.97
00:02:23.080 necessary, they will. And their main purpose is really creating this family unit, a very evil one
00:02:28.480 to do violence for power in these bad neighborhoods. These are brutal, brutal people. So the way the gang
00:02:35.340 started was they were the enforcers. They were the escorts for drug shipments, cartel drug shipments
00:02:41.660 coming up to the U.S. And think about that for a minute. The cartels are particularly brutal, right?
00:02:46.740 Their sicarios behead people. They castrate while they're alive and awake. They castrate their enemies
00:02:53.760 of their men. They rape and mutilate and murder the enemies of their women, the informants, anybody they
00:02:59.860 deem is snitching on them. You've seen the videos from Mexico, the photos, headless bodies hung from
00:03:05.320 overpasses and written in blood that if you remove those bodies, you'll wind up like those bodies.
00:03:09.780 I mean, these are brutal people. And MS-13 was protecting them and their drug shipments. It
00:03:15.880 doesn't get worse. I mean, these are the worst of the worst of the worst, right? They're coming up to
00:03:21.920 the United States and they're, you know, just doing what they do. And it's a brutal, brutal
00:03:29.460 criminal enterprise. So, of course, liberals want to protect them. I mean, they would be incensed.
00:03:36.240 And what they're doing is so disgraceful this time. The president had a roundtable yesterday
00:03:40.060 on California sanctuary cities. And he was talking to several people. The exchange that has the left
00:03:49.120 hysterical came when he was talking to Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims, pretty conservative.
00:03:54.380 She really wants to work with the president on illegal immigration. And I'll read you their
00:03:58.700 exchange in just a little bit. First, I want to tell you how different media is covering this.
00:04:03.340 Now, the president's comments were about MS-13. And when I read you the statements in context,
00:04:07.940 his exchange with Sheriff Mims, you're going to see that. But let's look at how different media
00:04:12.960 outlets are covering this depending on their political slant. Vox, which by the way, put the
00:04:19.060 president's entire conversation with Sheriff Mims, the transcript, in the same article.
00:04:23.600 But they betrayed their own reporting with their headline. Trump on deported immigrants. They're
00:04:30.300 not people. They're animals. Whether President Trump was referring to MS-13 gang members or all
00:04:36.340 deportees is unclear. But he didn't exactly hasten to clarify. But he did. The Washington Examiner,
00:04:43.500 which leans right. It was MS-13 Trump called animals, not undocumented immigrants. And the New York
00:04:49.480 Times knew. This is my favorite. The New York Times, my favorite one. The New York Times knew
00:04:53.980 that Trump was talking about MS-13. They couldn't bring themselves to admit it. So their headline is
00:05:01.000 Trump call. This is great. Trump calls some unauthorized immigrants animals in Iran. Trump calls 0.97
00:05:09.260 some unauthorized immigrants animals in Iran. Some. MS-13 is now some. And illegal aliens are 0.99
00:05:17.000 unauthorized immigrants. I mean, can you sanitize it anymore? I'm surprised there's not an ad for 1.00
00:05:21.840 Clorox bleach all over this page. They've sanitized this thing so much. It's ridiculous. So let's read
00:05:28.920 the exchange between President Trump and Sheriff Mims. And you tell me what you think.
00:05:33.920 I'm going to read you the whole exchange. Then we're going to go through some cases
00:05:37.940 of MS-13 violence. And we're going to talk about these people that the left feels are. These
00:05:45.160 wonderful dreamers. They're dreamers. Okay. The exchange starts. This is from the official
00:05:52.060 White House transcript. This is as it happened verbatim. Sheriff Margaret Mims, Fresno County,
00:05:57.460 California. Quote, now ICE is the only law enforcement agency that cannot use our databases to find the
00:06:03.460 bad guys. They cannot come in and talk to people in our jail unless they reach a certain threshold,
00:06:09.080 meaning a level of crime or how many times they were there or sit of his defender status,
00:06:13.980 things of that nature. They can't do all kinds of things that other law enforcement agencies can do.
00:06:19.640 And it really puts us in a very bad position. And what Sheriff Mims means is that it's longstanding
00:06:25.320 protocol and policy for federal law enforcement agencies to be able to cooperate with state and local.
00:06:31.880 And so what she's saying is the FBI can come in and use her databases, the ATF in a gun case,
00:06:38.860 an explosives case, a contraband case can, the DEA in a drug case, Homeland Security Investigations if
00:06:45.040 contraband goods are coming into the U.S. But Homeland Security Investigation, HSI's brother agency,
00:06:52.500 ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Border Patrol, another brother or sister agency,
00:06:57.400 can't. It's ludicrous. It's absolutely ludicrous. The president says to Sheriff Mims, it's a disgrace,
00:07:05.560 okay? It's a disgrace. And Sheriff Mims says it is a disgrace, the president. The president says,
00:07:10.560 and we're suing on that and we're working hard. And I think it will all come together because people
00:07:14.540 want it to come together. They're suing the state of California and various entities, municipalities,
00:07:20.300 localities and counties in California who are prohibiting federal law enforcement from working with
00:07:26.220 local authorities to share databases and information to get these violent gangbangers, these illegals, 1.00
00:07:32.420 out of our country. Remember, these are the people who escort cartel drug shipments. These are brutal,
00:07:38.860 brutal people. The worst of the worst. MS-13 doesn't use firearms, not because they can't get them,
00:07:45.840 but because their preferred weapons, machetes, baseball bats, chains, knives, spikes,
00:07:51.840 they cause more terror. They cause more pain. It's a prolonged form of torture for their enemies,
00:07:59.860 for those who are snitches. These are brutal people. They rape and mutilate women. They mutilate
00:08:05.760 men. These are the worst of the worst. And I've seen some pretty bad, bad guys during my time on the
00:08:11.480 street. These guys are the worst. Okay. So the president, we're suing on that and we're working
00:08:16.720 hard. I think it will all come together because people want it to come together. It's so ridiculous.
00:08:20.280 The concept that we're even talking about this is ridiculous. We'll take care of it, Margaret.
00:08:25.160 We'll win. Sheriff Mims to the president. Thank you. There could be an MS-13 gang member I know
00:08:30.240 about, and if they don't reach a certain threshold, I cannot tell ICE about it. Think about that.
00:08:36.400 You've got the sheriff of a county. She's elected. She's tasked with protecting the residents of that
00:08:40.780 county. She has patrol deputies and she has a jail she runs. And if her patrol deputies or another 1.00
00:08:46.700 local law enforcement agency in her county, it's typically the county runs the jail. 0.95
00:08:51.900 So if her deputies or another local law enforcement agency in her county pick up an MS-13 gang member,
00:08:57.660 and as the sheriff, she's notified of that. Whether her deputies pick them up and they,
00:09:03.080 she sees their report, or another agency picks them up and this gangbanger goes to the jail,
00:09:07.260 she's going to get the file on that to know who she has in her jail. She now knows she has an MS-13 0.93
00:09:12.600 gangbanger. Let's say it's a really bad guy, one of their street lieutenants, a killer, a drug dealer.
00:09:17.800 Somebody's hacked people up with machetes. It's here illegally. Right now, he's not allowed to tell
00:09:24.700 Immigration and Customs Enforcement about it. So her comment was specific. Sheriff Mims's comment
00:09:32.340 was three sentences. Let me read it to you again. Thank you, period.
00:09:36.100 There could be an MS-13 member I know about. If they don't reach a certain threshold,
00:09:42.300 I cannot tell ICE about it. Two sentences, actually. She specifically references MS-13.
00:09:48.760 The president responding to her specific reference of MS-13 says, quote,
00:09:55.100 we have people coming into the country or trying to come in and we're stopping a lot of them, 1.00
00:09:59.840 but we're taking people out of the country. You wouldn't believe how bad these people are.
00:10:06.220 Clearly referring to MS-13. These aren't people. These are animals. Clearly referring to MS-13.
00:10:14.520 The president goes on to say, and we're taking them out of the country at a level and at a rate
00:10:17.980 that's never happened before. And because of the weak laws, they come in fast. We get them. We release
00:10:24.620 them. We get them again. We bring them out. It's crazy. Clearly in reference to MS-13. The president is
00:10:32.760 talking about somebody who's picking lettuce on a farm in California or Florida. He's talking about
00:10:41.180 violent MS-13 gangbangers and the left, Andrea Mitchell and Eric Swalwell, then other Democrats
00:10:48.000 and other people in media and conservative Jennifer Rubin over at the WAPO. They all seized on this to
00:10:54.200 say, the president is calling illegal aliens animals. It's so moronic. So let's talk about
00:11:00.440 MS-13. Let's talk about these dreamers. I just pulled a few random stories.
00:11:08.900 Here's a story from February 15th of this year.
00:11:13.220 MS-13 from the New York Post. MS-13 members sentenced for execution style murder.
00:11:20.760 Milton Contreras, Oscar Wellman, Esbenosa Marino, and Jose Osmin Rubio are convicted of the fatal
00:11:26.040 shooting of 19-year-old Sidney Valverde, who they beckoned to Long Island in 2014, pretending they
00:11:32.980 needed him for gang business. They shot him in the back of the head and dumped his body on Suffolk
00:11:37.040 County Beach, where his decomposing remains were discovered by a beachcomber two weeks later.
00:11:43.240 Now, gangbangers killing gangbangers with a gun. We'll start with that one. That's about the most
00:11:49.660 mild MS-13 murder I've read about in a while. Let's go back to this story. March of 2018.
00:11:59.100 Alleged MS-13 gang member convicted in the 2001 rape and murder of a 13-year-old
00:12:07.040 girl. On June 28, 2001, the naked body of Jacqueline Piazza was found in Elsian Park in Los Angeles. 1.00
00:12:16.380 She had been shot twice in the head. Her murder remained unsolved for nearly a decade until the
00:12:21.600 LAPB uncovered new information and presented it to the VA's office. Four men were charged in the
00:12:28.280 crime. They kidnapped her. They drove her to a park. They gang raped her and they killed her. He was 13.
00:12:36.660 George Palacios, 39 now. He was 21 when the attack happened. The other attackers were Rogelio Contreras,
00:12:46.340 Melvin Sandoval, and Santos Grimaldi. All members of MS-13. They abducted, gang raped,
00:12:55.300 tortured, and murdered a 13-year-old little child. This is who Democrats are supporting. I'm
00:13:02.620 taking it down because I'm infuriated. I'm infuriated. There's more. This story from March 2nd, 2017.
00:13:13.680 Members of notorious MS-13 gang indicted in killings of teenage best friends and five others.
00:13:21.920 This is on Long Island, New York. We've become a hotbed of MS-13 gang activity. The seven slayings
00:13:28.080 covered by the indictments include the deaths of Nisa Mickens and Kayla Cuevas. Donald Trump had
00:13:33.340 their parents at State of the Union, if you recall. Teenage best friends whose bodies were found feet
00:13:38.140 apart in Brentwood, that's an area of Long Island, New York, last year. More than a dozen alleged MS-13
00:13:45.140 gang members are named in federal indictments, charging them with murder and other crimes.
00:13:51.000 It's from News 4 New York, NBC New York, in connection with the gruesome slayings of seven
00:13:56.060 people, including two teenage best friends in the crime-plagued town of Brentwood. Crime
00:14:03.340 plague by MS-13. The FBI and Suffolk County Police, the easternmost county on Long Island,
00:14:10.860 carried out joint raids at multiple locations known to be connected to the notorious
00:14:14.660 Salvadoran MS-13 gang and arrested four of the defendants. A total of 10, a total of 13 defendants,
00:14:23.760 10 of whom are illegal aliens, face charges, according to the U.S. attorney for the Eastern
00:14:30.820 District of New York. Mickens' brutally beaten body was found on a tree-lined street a day before
00:14:40.300 her 16th birthday. A day later, the beaten body of her lifelong friend, Cuevas, was discovered in
00:14:46.580 the wooded backyard of a nearby home. Investigators felt the girls were victims of gang violence. 0.98
00:14:55.460 Horrible. They said that four gang members, authorities said four gang members had been
00:15:00.440 looking for a rival gang member to attack or kill when they spotted the girls. They recognized them
00:15:04.980 from a previous altercation with MS-13 gang members, called their leader, and got approval to kill
00:15:10.720 them. The girls died by being beaten to death and hacked to death with baseball bats and machetes. 1.00
00:15:21.700 Ten of the perps in this MS-13 cell were illegal aliens.
00:15:26.940 This is who Democrats are protecting. This is who Democrats are upset about Donald Trump hauling
00:15:38.220 animals. I often say the left hates us. They want us dead. Those of us on the right. And the left says
00:15:45.780 you're crazy. You're a fear monger. You're a white ring, a right wing nut job. But think about this.
00:15:50.120 In a span of the last three days, the left has gone out of their way to aggressively defend Hamas 0.59
00:15:59.840 terrorists trying to invade Israel and MS-13 gang members who rape and hack to death with machetes,
00:16:07.580 little girls, invading this country. If that's not hating us and wanting to see us dead, 0.99
00:16:13.560 I don't know what is.
00:16:20.120 Today marks the one year anniversary of Robert Mueller's special counsel investigation. I didn't
00:16:30.940 get him a cake. I didn't get him anything. Actually, I didn't even send him a card, not even an email
00:16:34.960 because I can't stand the guy. I think this is a witch hunt. I think he is an unethical,
00:16:40.020 unprofessional actor. It's ludicrous. It's silly. It should have been shut down a long time ago. We've
00:16:44.740 been through ad nauseum. Why? Well, new information. He's told, Robert Mueller is apparently told,
00:16:51.200 well, according to Rudy Giuliani, he's told Giuliani that they would not attempt to indict
00:16:55.840 Donald Trump. Well, if Mueller is now admitting that he can indict a sitting president, he won't
00:17:01.660 indict Donald Trump. There's no reason for Trump to talk to him. There's no reason for Trump to write
00:17:06.300 anything down to him. It's all fruitless. Nothing can come of it. It would only be used in an impeachment
00:17:12.180 trap. That's it. Or a perjury trap to smear the president. Giuliani told CNN's Dana Bash,
00:17:20.480 this is originally a CNN story, quote, they have to follow the Justice Department rules.
00:17:25.740 And the rule is from a Newsmax story in the U.S. Attorney's Manual, an internal Department of
00:17:30.440 Justice document, which generally recommends against naming unindicted co-conspirators,
00:17:36.240 though doing so is not generally prohibited by our policy and meaning that Donald Trump won't even
00:17:42.840 be named. Nixon was not indicted. This goes back to 1974. President Nixon was named an unindicted
00:17:49.700 co-conspirator in indictments from the Watergate investigation. Now, of course, they want to try to
00:17:55.660 do that to Donald Trump. Giuliani's saying that they better not do it. It recommends that DOJ is
00:18:02.840 recommending they shouldn't do it. I don't trust Mueller. But the question now is, will they say
00:18:08.380 that even though we can't indict Donald Trump, is he an unindicted co-conspirator? The answer is
00:18:14.000 going to be no, because they've still never proved Russia collusion. So they'd have to allege that
00:18:19.380 Donald Trump was working with a Russian bot farm. I doubt that's the case. They'd have to allege that
00:18:24.700 he was involved in Paul Manafort's dubious financial dealings in 2006, alleged dubious financial
00:18:30.140 dealings in 2006. I mean, that's the case. That he knew General Flynn was dishonest with
00:18:36.320 investigators. Well, we know that's not the case because the investigators didn't think General
00:18:40.100 Flynn was dishonest with investigators and whether or not this Papadopoulos guy was as well. He was so
00:18:46.420 far down the rung on the ladder. I seriously doubt Papadopoulos and Donald Trump spoke about
00:18:50.800 everything. In other words, this is all absolute nonsense. Giuliani said, quote, the Justice Department
00:18:57.180 memos going back to before Nixon say that you cannot indict a sitting president. You have to
00:19:01.600 impeach him, end quote. Quote by Giuliani, now there was a little time in which there was some
00:19:06.520 dispute about that, but they acknowledged to us orally that they understand that they cannot
00:19:10.700 violate the Justice Department rules. We think it's bigger than that, Giuliani said. We think it's a
00:19:17.900 constitutional rule, but I don't think you're ever going to confront that because nobody's ever going
00:19:21.740 to indict a sitting president. So what does that leave them with? That leaves them with writing a
00:19:25.960 report. Giuliani said to Mueller, he said to Mueller, you really need or going to ask Mueller,
00:19:35.100 do you really need an interview? You've got all the facts. You've got all the documents. You've got
00:19:39.360 all of the explanations. We're happy to tell you they're not going to charge, meaning Mueller is not
00:19:45.160 going to charge Trump. That ends it. It's over now. There was no collusion. Trump's not going to be
00:19:51.260 charged. He didn't conspire on anything. That should end it. But it's not. I'm going to tell
00:19:57.400 you in a minute what Mueller is doing to mark his one year anniversary. Now, the FBI is really at
00:20:06.080 ground zero for all this because we're finding out that the FBI used a secret program to gather
00:20:12.080 information on the Trump campaign without using warrants. It went around warrants. It went around
00:20:18.580 judges. This is a Daily Wire story by Ryan Saavedra. You've seen Ryan Saavedra here on the
00:20:22.580 show. He's a great reporter, friend of mine. A report released by the New York Times on Wednesday
00:20:27.360 revealed that the FBI director, the FBI under director James Comey's leadership, used a secret
00:20:32.480 program that does not require the approval of a judge to gather phone records and other documents
00:20:38.700 on Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The report also revealed that a government informant
00:20:45.580 met several times with Trump campaign officials, which validates a March 2018 report from the
00:20:53.400 Washington Post. Here's what the New York Times reported. Both the FBI obtained phone records
00:20:58.320 and other documents using national security letters, a secret type of subpoena, and at least
00:21:05.060 one government informant. Now, we know there was an informant. Some names have been thrown around.
00:21:09.540 I haven't really been using the names because they're not confirmed. And at least one government
00:21:15.140 informant met several times with Mr. Page and Mr. Papadopoulos, firm and former officials said.
00:21:21.160 Part of Page is a convicted or rather charged with anything, let alone convicted.
00:21:26.080 It looks like. Understand what this means. Let me read the rest of the current informant. This has
00:21:32.240 become a politically contentious point with Mr. Trump's allies questioning whether the FBI was spying
00:21:37.520 on the Trump campaign or trying to entrap campaign officials. And I believe they were. This is,
00:21:45.080 this should send a chill down the spine of every American. This should send a chill down the spine
00:21:51.160 of every Canadian watch, every Brit watch, every Australian watch, anybody in the world who watches
00:21:56.140 this show. This should send a chill down your spine. The premier law enforcement agency in the United
00:22:02.340 States and arguably the world, the FBI, appears to have been weaponized against a political campaign
00:22:08.120 on behalf of another. Weaponized to the point where obscure national security rules were used, national
00:22:14.780 security letters, so you could go around a FISA judge, a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act judge, FISA
00:22:19.960 court judge, to eavesdrop, to wiretap the Trump campaign, surveil the Trump campaign. But even worse,
00:22:28.740 it looks like the government sent in agents of the government, not special agents, but those
00:22:35.520 contracted by the government as informants. And the term would be you're acting as an agent of the
00:22:40.200 government, an operative of the government. They sent them in what appears to be an entrapment scheme
00:22:46.860 to bait the Trump campaign into doing something improper, illegal against campaign finance rules.
00:22:55.160 This is disgraceful. Now let's talk about these national security letters. Here's what The
00:23:00.680 Intercept reported on this. Quote, these are controversial in part because they carry the
00:23:04.860 force of law, but are created entirely outside the judicial system. To issue one, an FBI official
00:23:11.620 just needs to attest that the information sought is relevant to a national security investigation.
00:23:16.220 We know that John Brennan, Andrew McCabe, Peter Stroke, Bruce, well, Weissman's on Mueller's team,
00:23:26.060 he plays with exculpatory evidence, Bruce Orr, who else is involved? Lisa Page, the FBI lawyer,
00:23:32.380 arguably Comey, I mean, James Clapper. The list goes on and on of these people that tried to subvert
00:23:39.440 the Trump campaign. Information relevant to a national security investigation. The letters have been
00:23:44.780 criticized because they are shrouded in secrecy. Companies that receive them are for the most
00:23:50.620 part forbidden from notifying their customers or the public. The government has fought to keep even
00:23:56.460 basic rules governing them secret. Now I'm sure these letters were created with the best of
00:24:01.800 intentions to fight terror and organize crime. But now you see what happens when things are done
00:24:07.820 in secrecy. They can easily be weaponized against political opponents.
00:24:14.780 But companies that receive these national security letters might not be legally required to hand over
00:24:19.100 the information demanded by the FBI from that interceptor. Quote, the FBI internal guidelines
00:24:24.820 suggest the Bureau uses the letters to demand sensitive information on email transaction,
00:24:29.660 even though the Justice Department has specifically advised the FBI that it is not of the authority to
00:24:35.800 use the letters this way. The documents also indicate that the FBI can use national security letters
00:24:41.620 to surveil a community of interest by obtaining information from a business about a customer
00:24:48.240 and every person the customer has contacted. This is a controversial practice that the Bureau
00:24:56.340 once halted amid scrutiny. Documents reveal that a secret unit that mines phone records can still initiate
00:25:02.800 such requests. We are being surveilled every day of our lives and we don't know it.
00:25:09.420 This is killing. Now this is really what's interesting. The most recent national security letter policy was made
00:25:17.980 public on January 31st, 2017, also by the interceptor, and reveals which FBI officials have the authority to sign
00:25:26.140 national security letters. The director has delegated the authority to sign national security letters and to certify
00:25:32.120 the non-disclosure requirements to the following officials. Now think about who these people were
00:25:37.120 January 31st of 2017. Deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, executive assistant director,
00:25:45.840 one of McCabe's cronies, assistant executive assistant director for the national security branch,
00:25:50.400 somebody that McCabe hand tapped, the FBI's general counsel.
00:25:54.500 This is absolutely incredible. This is absolutely incredible. It reads like a who's who of people, of titles, in McCabe's cabal.
00:26:08.180 The Electronic Communications Privacy Act lists four types of information that the FBI is allowed to obtain
00:26:13.820 using national security letters as noted by the intercept. Name of the owner of an account,
00:26:19.300 how long that person has owned it, their address, and toll billing records, which reveal phone numbers that are called
00:26:26.140 and include the date, time, and the length of each call. This is terrible. And this is all part and parcel to an FBI
00:26:32.700 investigation, code named Crossfire Hurricane. Now the New York Times went overtime, worked overtime to try to make the FBI look
00:26:38.800 good, but it is as terrible as it gets. It is as bad as it gets. They surveilled the campaign of a political opponent of Hillary Clinton
00:26:49.660 and they used the most secretive tactics, one's reserved for the worst terrorists and the worst organized criminals.
00:26:57.120 Now, Mueller knows he can't indict Donald Trump. He also knows he's got nothing to indict Donald Trump on. Trump did nothing wrong.
00:27:04.500 And I'm not saying that because I'm a Trump apologist or I'm a Trump cheerleader. If I thought Trump colluded
00:27:09.240 with Russia, I'd want him out of the White House. I'm a patriot. I put country over party or any one person. 0.99
00:27:15.040 Trump is disrupting the deep state. He's breaking up their cabal. They're hysterical.
00:27:18.860 So what is Robert Mueller doing now? Well, Mueller issues grand jury subpoenas. This is on his anniversary.
00:27:25.320 This is what he's doing on the anniversary of his first year anniversary of special counsel.
00:27:31.060 Mueller issues grand jury subpoenas to Trump advisors, social media consultant. And this
00:27:37.340 surrounds Roger Stone, a guy who can't get out of his own way with a GPS. Poor Roger Stone is still
00:27:41.860 wearing the same suit he wore in 1992 and is completely irrelevant. It's persona non grata at
00:27:48.160 the White House. Doesn't talk to anybody in and around the campaign. Anybody at the White House inflated a lot
00:27:53.680 of things to make himself look good and still look relevant. The entire thing is simply silly.
00:27:58.560 Subpoenas were delivered late last week to lawyers representing Jason Sullivan,
00:28:04.620 a social media and Twitter specialist. Stone hired to work for an independent political
00:28:10.980 action committee he set up to support Trump. Newt Johnson, a lawyer for Sullivan, told Reuters.
00:28:17.840 Now think about that. That alone clears Trump. PACs, political action committees, are not legally
00:28:23.580 allowed to coordinate with the actual campaign. It's illegal. The subpoenas suggest that Mueller,
00:28:29.140 who is probing Russian meddling, this is from the Reuters story. I'm reading the Reuters.
00:28:33.160 In the 2016 election is focused on Roger Stone and whether he might have had advanced knowledge
00:28:37.640 of WikiLeaks. Here's the best part. Here's the best part.
00:28:41.560 Okay. For example, okay, let me, let me tell you what, uh, Mueller's investigating here.
00:28:51.120 It's called, it, uh, welcome to the age of weaponized social media, quote unquote,
00:28:56.720 said a strategy document. This guy Sullivan prepared for Roger Stone and was seen by Reuters.
00:29:01.220 He described the system he devised for creating Twitter swarms as an army of sophisticated,
00:29:06.480 hyper-targeted, direct tweet automation systems driven by outcomes-based, outcome-based strategies
00:29:12.640 derived from real-time actionable insight. For example, all sounds kind of intricate,
00:29:19.160 but I'm going to break it down for you in about three words, four words, actually. I've got those
00:29:25.420 four words. For example, at 6.43 a.m. local time on election day, 2016, Trump tweeted, quote,
00:29:30.980 today we make America great again, end quote. Trump's message was soon retweeted more than 343,000
00:29:36.260 times. In an interview last year, Sullivan told Reuters that the swarm helped overcome a surge in
00:29:41.060 pro-Clinton social media postings and boost voter turnout for Trump. Robert Mueller, who has spent
00:29:48.920 tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, wasted a year of time, has operated unethically, unprofessionally,
00:29:55.060 disgracefully, in my opinion. Ready? Here are the four words. Mueller is investigating retweets.
00:30:02.100 Here's five words. Robert Mueller is investigating retweets. That's what he's investigating. Robert
00:30:11.300 Mueller has launched an investigation and issued subpoenas because an automated algorithm retweeted
00:30:17.200 Donald Trump more than it did Hillary Clinton. A U.S.-based company working with computer code
00:30:23.620 helped better market Donald Trump. And Robert Mueller is now investigating that as a criminal matter.
00:30:29.340 I have never in my life seen anything this insane. Robert Mueller is investigating retweets.
00:30:38.540 This is beyond ridiculous. This is beyond a joke. This is beyond comical. It's tragic. It is absolutely
00:30:48.080 tragic. And this nightmare, this nonsense, this tragedy, this joke needs to be shut down today
00:30:56.840 on its first birthday.
00:31:11.000 A really disturbing story in the Michael Cohen case, one that was actually broken by Ronan Farrow
00:31:16.620 at The New Yorker. Now, Ronan Farrow is actually turning out some very good work. He turned out some
00:31:20.980 great work with regards to the Harvey Weinstein case. And this one is entitled Missing Files
00:31:25.740 Motivated the Leak of Michael Cohen's Financial Records. Now, Farrow isn't obviously a fan of
00:31:31.760 Michael Cohen. But when you read the story, what you find out is that the way we all discovered
00:31:38.540 the transactions in Michael Cohen's bank records is because a law enforcement source within the federal
00:31:47.500 law enforcement infrastructure of the Southern District of New York leaked, leaked the information.
00:31:53.220 That person needs to go to jail. And I suspect their motives were dubious. Now, what they leaked
00:31:59.360 were called a suspicious activity reports, SARs, that are part and parcel to what's called
00:32:07.120 FINCEN, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network. And these are all entities that exist under entities
00:32:15.740 and procedures that exist under the U.S. Department of the Treasury. And so what Farrow's story
00:32:21.920 essentially says is that let me let me read you an excerpt from Farrow's story. It says the report
00:32:27.440 also refers to previous suspicious activity reports or SARs the bank had filed, which documented even
00:32:33.880 larger flows of questionable money into Cohen's account. These two report, these two reports detail more
00:32:39.760 than $3 million in additional transactions, triple the amount in the report released last week, which
00:32:45.560 individuals or corporations were involved remains a mystery. But according to the official who leaked
00:32:49.840 the report, these SARs, special activity, suspicious activity reports were absent from the database
00:32:56.780 maintained by the Treasury Department's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, FINCEN, more commonly
00:33:01.680 called. The official who has spent a career in law enforcement told me, quote, I have never seen
00:33:06.560 something pulled off the system. That system is a safeguard for the bank. It's a stockpile of
00:33:11.440 information. When something's not there that should be, I immediately became concerned. That's why I
00:33:16.900 came forward. But you didn't come forward. You leaked it like a rat. Now, the story goes on to say that
00:33:24.440 other officials, seven officials, expressed varying levels of concerns about the missing reports.
00:33:31.980 In other words, the guy who leaked them, in my opinion, appears to be biased against Trump and
00:33:37.000 people around Trump. He leaked those reports to smear Michael Cohen and Donald Trump, because when
00:33:42.820 seven other officials who had worked alongside Treasury, worked with FINCEN, who were familiar
00:33:48.220 with these SARs, were interviewed on background, they expressed varying levels of concern. Some speculated
00:33:55.780 that FINCEN may have restricted access to the reports due to the sensitivity of their content,
00:33:59.860 which would make the leak even more egregious. They said that it would be, which they said would be
00:34:07.060 nearly unprecedented. But it's also unprecedented that the personal attorney of the President of
00:34:11.320 the United States is being investigated. So there would be a higher degree of sensitivity in the
00:34:16.140 information. One called the possibility explosive. And a record retention policy on FINCEN's website
00:34:22.860 websites notes that false document or documents are those deemed highly sensitive and requiring strict
00:34:29.740 limitations on access may be transferred out of its master file. So again, this is the most critical
00:34:36.040 and important part of this New Yorker piece. A record retention policy on FINCEN's own website says
00:34:43.060 even though the move might be unprecedented, even though the move might be exceedingly rare,
00:34:48.440 even though this might be the first time it was ever done, they had a contingency in place for it.
00:34:54.600 And it was an acceptable move that the documents, the documents deemed highly sensitive and requiring
00:35:02.360 strict limitations on access might may be transferred out of the master file. So a person rungs down the
00:35:10.600 ladder who didn't understand how all this worked or did understand and was just infuriated that that Michael Cohen,
00:35:18.360 and Donald Trump weren't being smeared fast enough. That person took it upon themselves
00:35:27.560 to release Michael Cohen's bank record and suspicious activity reports to the media to smear Cohen, to smear Trump.
00:35:37.800 Now, what they also say, it may be that someone reached out to FINCEN and asked them to limit their
00:35:41.640 disclosure of certain SARs related to an investigation, whether it was the special counsel or the Southern
00:35:46.680 District of New York. People don't know. This is this is really, really troubling.
00:35:55.640 And this leaker, this criminal really is trying to justify their motive, their move. Why are just those
00:36:03.960 two missing? Now, that's ridiculous. VINCEN said in a statement that it protects the confidentiality of
00:36:10.440 SARs suspicious activity reports, quote, in order to protect both filers and potentially named
00:36:16.040 individuals. VINCEN neither confirms nor denies the existence of the purported SARs.
00:36:22.600 No one commented on this. And the reason VINCEN does that is because suspicious activity
00:36:29.480 is not necessarily illegal activity. It might have a legal purpose behind it. And
00:36:35.560 when VINCEN and Treasury review it, they say, OK, there you go. There's the paper trail. Everything's
00:36:39.960 fine. Thank you very much for coming in. Thanks for the cooperation. Have a great day. Good luck.
00:36:45.000 That wasn't enough for deep state bias investigators surrounding the investigation. No, they couldn't let
00:36:51.960 the investigation take its course. They couldn't wait to find out whether or not those suspicious
00:36:57.640 activity reports were properly removed from the master file for purposes of confidentiality
00:37:03.800 or investigative purposes. No, they had a leak information on Michael Cohen because they need
00:37:09.480 to destroy his life. Cohen and the president are friendly. He's the president's personal attorney.
00:37:15.080 Therefore, to the mainstream media, to the deep state actors, Michael Cohen's life must be destroyed.
00:37:20.920 His reputation must be destroyed. His family must be destroyed. His businesses
00:37:25.480 must be destroyed. And federal law enforcement will break the law to do it. They will break the law
00:37:34.040 to destroy anyone close to Donald Trump. That's not speculation. I'm not alleging they'll do that.
00:37:39.880 A law enforcement source leaked sensitive, restrictive information, broke the law for no other reason
00:37:46.200 than to smear Michael Cohen. This nonsense that they want to maintain the integrity of the investigation.
00:37:51.320 No, they were upset that Cohen was not being destroyed and smeared fast enough. They're upset
00:37:58.760 that Donald Trump is still president. They needed to take matters into their own hands, much like Peter
00:38:05.640 Stroke did. Andrew McCabe did. Lisa Page did. Don Brennan did. I believe Barack Obama did. Hillary Clinton
00:38:13.320 did through Fusion GPS, where she hid money through her law firm, Perkins Coey. They need to take out
00:38:20.200 this president and everyone around him. They need to destroy them. And they will stop at nothing. They
00:38:26.360 have desecrated their oaths. They have dishonored their profession. And now they're going after people
00:38:32.520 who might have done nothing wrong by releasing highly restricted information to do nothing other than
00:38:40.440 to smear their reputations. This is as bad as it gets. We need a justice department. We need an
00:38:45.560 attorney general. We need people who are going to investigate these crimes. And we need to publicly
00:38:50.280 prosecute the legal.
00:39:03.720 What I'm about to tell you is going to make you sleep much better tonight. You're going to feel a
00:39:08.440 little bit safer. You might even, if you live in California, especially down around San Diego, you
00:39:13.240 might even crack the window in your kid's bedroom if there's a nice breeze coming off the ocean.
00:39:18.200 Because you're going to feel a lot safer. You're going to feel a lot safer because of authorities in
00:39:23.560 San Diego County. They really have stepped up for you in terms of public safety on this one. I mean, they're
00:39:31.080 really looking out for you and your family. They really are. From the San Diego Tribune,
00:39:36.440 pop goes a tradition. The county cracks down on free popcorn and hardware stores.
00:39:43.560 They're letting those illegals come over the fence. They're letting El Chapo's people still dig tunnels 0.99
00:39:47.880 from Tijuana into San Diego. But man, you don't have anything to worry about. You are protected,
00:39:53.720 San Diegoans, from the scourge of free popcorn and hardware stores.
00:39:57.640 What may look like a warm, welcoming treat, free popcorn is a threat to public health,
00:40:04.360 say San Diego County officials. Last month, health inspectors raided La Jolla's Meanly and
00:40:11.000 Sun hardware, warning that its old-fashioned red popcorn machine is a germy outlaw.
00:40:17.000 They explained we didn't have the proper permits, said Bob Meanly, whose shop had handed out 30 to 40
00:40:21.880 bags of popcorn every day for 25 years. I say lock Bob Meanly up and throw away the key. Put this
00:40:27.080 guy in supermax, federally charging with something. Let's treat him like Al Qaeda. Why don't we just 0.99
00:40:31.320 send this guy to Guantanamo? I mean, I'm all for sending Bob Meanly to a black site for enhanced 0.98
00:40:37.880 interrogation, for extreme rendition. I mean, how dare he give out free popcorn to kids and families
00:40:43.800 in his business of 25 years without getting permission from government? How dare he do that?
00:40:48.680 To comply with the 1984 California Uniform Retail Food Facility Law, Meanly and Sun would need to
00:40:57.320 install a three-basin sink to clean and sterilize the popcorn also required regular inspections just
00:41:03.400 like a restaurant. He declined and instead rolled out the offending machine into storage,
00:41:08.200 thus ending a 25-year-old tradition. He said, quote, I hate to take away something that our customers
00:41:13.480 really like. He also said, on the other hand, this whole thing is maybe more aware of our liability.
00:41:22.920 This is so ridiculous. While closely associated from the San Diego Tribune with movie theaters,
00:41:28.440 popcorn is also tightly linked to neighborhood purveyors of hammers and screwdrivers.
00:41:32.360 The connection is seen in shops from Cambridge, Massachusetts, Taggs, Ace Hardware,
00:41:36.440 The Lakeside, Payton's True Value Hardware. Well, the little kids get a kick out of it.
00:41:40.360 That Diane L. Hodge, co-owner of Payton's Hardware, where the free treat has been a staple since 1997.
00:41:46.760 This woman has been a hardcore criminal for 21 years. They should lock her up and throw away the key. 1.00
00:41:53.320 Well, they come in for popcorn and dad comes in for the tools, end quote.
00:41:56.440 How dare they? How dare these families do this? And how dare these business owners?
00:42:05.000 How dare they conspire? Now, in California, if this hardware store wanted to hire 15 illegal aliens, 0.99
00:42:11.080 MS-13 gang members, then the state of California would be celebrating them and giving them a grant.
00:42:15.960 But how dare they give little kids free popcorn while dad is buying some tools on the weekend?
00:42:20.840 How dare they? Criminals. Criminals.
00:42:26.280 I feel sad, she said, that some of the old traditions have become so regulated.
00:42:30.680 She's a criminal. Throw her, throw her in a cell, interrogate her. And of course, 1.00
00:42:38.440 the government goes on and on and on. And they talk about how they're here to save you by taking
00:42:45.720 away free popcorn. Because there might be a germ on it. One guy complained. One person complained
00:42:55.640 that somebody scooped the popcorn without gloves. One person. One moron complained and status in
00:43:04.200 California moved in like a SWAT team. Took away a tradition. It's ridiculous.
00:43:12.600 People are very upset, said Kathy Jones, head cashier at Meanly and Sun Hardware.
00:43:16.520 Quote, even if they didn't eat the popcorn, they appreciated the aroma. End quote.
00:43:20.120 I love popcorn. I actually make popcorn all the time at home. It's delicious. Everybody loves
00:43:25.400 popcorn. You go to a store, you smell popcorn. You go to a movie theater, you smell popcorn.
00:43:29.560 The left has to ruin everything. They literally have to ruin in government. Leftist run government
00:43:36.120 has to ruin everything. They have to clamp down on something as innocent as popcorn. Free popcorn, 0.93
00:43:41.560 a little kid's in a hardware store. Hardware alone, hardware stores alone are,
00:43:47.000 hardware stores are not alone in seeing the customer-pleasing potential of free popcorn.
00:43:52.440 When Rough Draft opened in Miramar, California in 2012, the brewery's owner sought and obtained
00:43:57.080 official clearance. I called the health department and said, hey, we'd like to serve popcorn,
00:44:01.240 but we don't have a kitchen. They said, well, we really don't consider popcorn food, so you're fine.
00:44:07.480 So, why is the hardware store getting harassed? Why is the hardware store being harassed? Why are any
00:44:15.800 of these businesses being harassed for free effing popcorn? This is so stupid. This is really stupid.
00:44:25.400 Now, San Diego libraries offered free popcorn. They haven't been contacted by anybody. They said,
00:44:31.160 hey, how about we have everybody sign a waiver and then said, oh, wait, that's a joke because they
00:44:34.440 don't want to be penalized by government for joking around. This is what liberals want America to become.
00:44:41.320 You own a business. You work hard for 25 years. You service the community. You compete with Lowe's
00:44:48.200 and Home Depot. And your customer service is so good, you're able to stay afloat and remain
00:44:55.240 profitable because of the little things you do that they don't do. Those little things you do that they
00:45:00.760 don't do. Giving free popcorn to kids. So, the kid says, hey, dad, I don't want to go to Home Depot.
00:45:06.360 I want to go to Meanly Hardware because they give me the popcorn. And the dad goes, yeah,
00:45:09.720 all right. That's great. Yeah, let's go there. And when that happens over a thousand moms and dads,
00:45:16.200 that mom and pop is able to stay open and thrive because of those little,
00:45:20.360 little customer service offerings that the big guys don't give you.
00:45:24.440 And the government has to come in and crush it because they didn't pay the right fees,
00:45:29.640 because they didn't put in the sink, because they didn't incur massive costs and pay light on
00:45:35.560 infrastructure and pay licensing fees. And now the government can come in and regulate the free
00:45:40.600 popcorn. This is a perfect example of why government needs to stay out of the private sector. Now,
00:45:48.520 look, I'm not saying somebody should be able to run an unregulated restaurant
00:45:52.520 with chicken playing on a prep table for days, salmonella, coli and people getting sick. But this is
00:45:57.480 a free popcorn. First of all, it's full of salt. Salt has been used as an antibacterial and a
00:46:03.160 preservative for years, for thousands of years. Nobody's getting sick off of the free popcorn.
00:46:09.880 First of all, it's being popped in oil that's like a thousand degrees, okay? And then smothered in salt
00:46:14.520 and butter. Nobody's getting sick on free popcorn. I don't think there's ever been a recorded case in
00:46:18.680 history of somebody getting sick on free popcorn after the oil and salt hit it. But that's not enough
00:46:24.120 for California status. They've got to step in and crack down. They are not going to be happy.
00:46:28.680 The status will not be happy until they are able to regulate every single aspect of our lives. It needs to end.
00:46:54.120 So
