Rebel News Podcast - Off The Cuff Declassified - John Cardillo - May 18⧸2018

00:00:00.000 Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, Rudy Giuliani tells Robert Mueller's team he's ready to rip them

00:00:05.040 apart. Fellow rebel and the Hollywood conservative Amanda Head joins me to discuss Hillary Clinton's 0.77

00:00:10.360 one million dollar speaking fee. A shooter at Trump Doral Golf Club here in Miami

00:00:16.140 ranting about the president. Luckily he was taken out by police before anyone was injured. And is

00:00:23.000 there going to be a purge of the White House communications team because of the leaks?

00:00:26.780 Sure looks like the case.

00:00:30.000 Rudy Giuliani is not messing around. He was on Fox News this week with Laura Ingram

00:00:38.500 and he basically called out Robert Mueller's team in a way I haven't heard anybody call out

00:00:45.660 Robert Mueller's team. Now I am very, very happy that Rudy is going down this road. Very happy

00:00:52.120 because president's former attorneys, John Dowden, Ty Cobb were very, very soft, very soft.

00:01:00.000 Rudy when asked what the timeline, when Laura Ingram asked Rudy Giuliani, what is your optimal timeline

00:01:06.700 for this to wrap up? Giuliani said they should do it today. I mean, as soon as possible. I think they

00:01:11.580 have the facts from which they can write their report. If you can write a fair report, fine, then write it.

00:01:17.800 If you're not, if you're going to write an unfair report, write it and we will combat it. We're ready

00:01:23.180 to rip it apart and we're ready to rip them apart if that's what they want. We'd rather peacefully settle 0.88

00:01:29.140 this and get it over with. Good for him. Good for him. Now Giuliani, this is from the Gateway Pundit

00:01:35.660 story, but Giuliani discussed the Mueller investigation and he said that the guys on Mueller's team are so

00:01:41.420 taking so long because, quote, maybe these guys, you know, figure they can't get a good job.

00:01:46.620 End quote. He's right. They're living on the government dole. They've got a very nice cushy

00:01:50.180 deal right now. And why would they want to? Why would they want to stop this role? They've

00:01:54.580 got unlimited power. They're making good money. Well, what gets really interesting is that

00:01:59.460 Breitbart is now reporting that the inspector general's report is going to be damning. Now,

00:02:05.980 I told you this through my sources, that the OIG report was going to be damning to the FBI.

00:02:12.240 Paul Sperry, he was the former D.C. Bureau chief of Investor Business Daily, Investors Business Daily,

00:02:18.580 and now he's with the Hoover Institution as their media guy. But this is not some random guy on Twitter.

00:02:23.560 He tweeted yesterday, breaking. IG Horowitz has found, quote, reasonable grounds for believing there

00:02:30.400 has been a violation of federal criminal law in the FBI and DOJ's handling of the Clinton

00:02:35.480 investigation and has referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber for

00:02:41.480 possible criminal prosecution. Now, Huber is the U.S. attorney in Utah that Jeff Sessions appointed

00:02:47.560 as special prosecutor. Special prosecutor is different than a special counsel. A special counsel

00:02:53.640 is an outside entity appointed by Justice Department. A special prosecutor is a U.S. attorney,

00:02:59.960 someone within Justice Department, who's given the ability to work in a different district.

00:03:06.380 They're pulled from where they work and put on some other, not pulled from where they work,

00:03:10.600 but they're handed some other cases and given additional jurisdiction, geographical jurisdiction

00:03:15.580 and scope jurisdiction as per the attorney general. Now, this is a major development because we know

00:03:24.440 something wasn't right in the way the FBI and DOJ handled the Hillary case. This could potentially

00:03:31.100 bring in, well, I'm going to bring in James Comey, clearly, and Andrew McCabe. And now this brings in,

00:03:37.280 excuse me, Loretta Lynch. This is very, very damning, very damning for Team Obama. And if I were Team Obama,

00:03:44.160 I would be pretty concerned. I really would be. Now, we spoke a little bit about the issues with what

00:03:53.480 the FBI is doing on the show this week using national security letters instead of subpoenas.

00:04:00.480 And national security letters are concerning. I explained to you on the show yesterday because

00:04:04.020 the FBI signs them in secrecy and can pretty much surveil Americans. And this is a troubling

00:04:12.820 situation we're involved in here. We've got the former director of the FBI out there on a book

00:04:19.280 tour. He's playing the victim. He's doing a lot of things to imply that he's the guy who was wronged

00:04:26.000 when in reality, it appears that the entire DOJ and FBI was weaponized against the Trump campaign

00:04:33.480 on behalf of the Clinton campaign. We have John Brennan, the former CIA director, who we now know

00:04:38.060 inserted parts of that unverified and salacious, as James Comey calls it, steel dossier.

00:04:45.520 He inserted parts of that into Obama's presidential daily brief. Every day, the president gets the

00:04:51.680 daily brief. And it really is a highly classified intelligence briefing of the most relevant things

00:04:58.420 going on around the world and domestically that the president of the United States must know about.

00:05:03.680 This is his daily brief. So he's up to speed on the really important stuff. And John Brennan was slipping

00:05:09.220 in the steel dossier, excerpts from the steel dossier. I can't think of anything, anything worse than that.

00:05:18.580 Can't think of anything worse than that. It's pretty damn ridiculous when you get down to it. 0.98

00:05:23.520 But they're Democrats. They get away with it. And it really has undermined. It's really done a 0.99

00:05:30.300 an incredible disservice to America that this thing has been going on. Enter in this moron, 1.00

00:05:38.540 Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels lawyer. He's out there saying now there are two more women. 1.00

00:05:43.160 We're finding out a lot of bad things about this guy. Eight million dollars show up in his shows up

00:05:48.180 in his bank account right around the time he took this case on. Nobody really knows what's going on,

00:05:55.060 but it appears that Avenatti is in touch with some of Mueller's people. And it led to the

00:06:01.900 Michael Cohen investigation. It's dirty. It's dirty. But what's going on in Mueller's second year?

00:06:09.180 We're going in. Yesterday was the anniversary of Mueller's first year. We're going into the second

00:06:12.860 year. Well, what's really happening there? Well, the Associated Press is they put out a story

00:06:19.200 yesterday, and they've got some speculation. They say, what is Mueller investigating?

00:06:25.580 There's no doubt Mueller's investigation is far reaching. But at its core, prosecutors have

00:06:30.120 remained focused on two central questions. Did the Trump campaign collude with the Kremlin to tip

00:06:35.500 2016 presidential election in the Republican candidates favor? And has Trump tried to obstruct

00:06:43.680 the investigation since taking office through actions, including firing FBI Director James Comey?

00:06:49.200 And badging Attorney General Jeff Sessions over his recusal last March from the Russia probe. 1.00

00:06:55.400 Both of these are stupid, dumb, idiotic, moronic, and ridiculous. No, there was no collusion. We know 1.00

00:07:02.000 that. It is not obstruction of justice for a president to fire an FBI director. We've been over that ad

00:07:08.300 nauseam on the show. The Obama administration's own 2011 memo reaffirms this. Badgering the Attorney

00:07:15.940 General is pretty much impossible when you're the president and the Attorney General works for you.

00:07:20.940 You can ask the Attorney General whatever you want and tell him whatever you want for the most part.

00:07:27.540 So another question the AP asks, who has been questioned so far? The answer, a veritable who's

00:07:34.700 who of current and former White House officials, as well as foreign businessmen and top campaign and

00:07:39.100 transition staffers. Trump's son-in-law was questioned last fall. And they go on and on. Don

00:07:44.980 McGahn and Reince Priebus and Hope Hicks and Steve Vannin and Tom Barack, Trump's friend and blah, blah,

00:07:52.120 blah. And that all yielded nothing. That all yielded nothing. Who has been charged? Well, we know.

00:07:58.260 Manafort and Rick Gates on all financial crimes. General Flynn and Papadopoulos on bogus process crimes.

00:08:03.920 And 13 Russian bots that may not exist. One of those, a company that we know doesn't exist.

00:08:10.280 What have we learned so far? The criminal cases, this is from the AP again. The criminal cases so

00:08:15.700 far have not resolved the core questions of Trump-Russia collusion. But they have revealed

00:08:20.040 an interest by Russia to aid Trump's bid. And they've exposed the sometimes shadowy foreign

00:08:25.080 entanglements maintained by Trump aides before, during, and after the campaign. That's laughable

00:08:30.260 in light of the Clinton Foundation. It and everything about it. It's talking about foreign 0.98

00:08:37.640 shady dealings with regards to people around Trump. Dig into the Clinton Foundation, Associated Press.

00:08:43.380 There's a lot more, but we've gone all through this. APA then asks, what's yet to come?

00:08:51.620 The biggest unresolved question is whether Trump will sit for an interview with Mueller.

00:08:55.660 And what will happen if he does not? He should not. Trump at times has expressed the desire to be

00:09:00.120 questioned by the special counsel's team. Well, he shouldn't do it. Now, we're also hearing today

00:09:04.820 that Mueller is agreeing to limit the scope of Trump's questions. I think that's a trap. He

00:09:12.460 should not. He should not. He absolutely should not. That's being tweeted out by Ryan Saavedra from

00:09:20.280 Daily Wire via the Washington Times. Ryan tweeted, breaking special counsel Robert Mueller has agreed

00:09:27.180 to narrow down the questions that he wants to ask Trump in an effort to get him to sit down for an

00:09:31.960 interview. And that's from the Washington Times via Ryan Saavedra, or I should say Ryan via the

00:09:36.900 Washington Times. It's a perjury trap. It's an impeachment report trap. Trump should go nowhere

00:09:43.740 near it. He should be nowhere near it. He shouldn't get close to it. He should stay on the other side of

00:09:48.620 the country from it. Don't talk to Mueller. Mueller has already said he will not indict Trump. He cannot

00:09:54.500 indict Trump. There is no reason for Trump to speak to Mueller. This probe has yielded nothing. It's

00:10:00.460 nonsense. There is no there there. It needs to be shut down. And we need to get on to the business of

00:10:07.240 investigating the people who really did wrong, who really colluded. James Comey, Andrew McCabe,

00:10:12.880 Loretta Lynch, Barack Obama, Peter Stroke, Hillary Clinton, etc., etc., etc. The Inspector General's

00:10:20.220 report is coming out soon, and I suspect that it will be damning, damning for the Obama and Clinton

00:10:26.620 administrations, for the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA under John Brennan under Obama. I can't wait for

00:10:33.320 that report to come out. I'm going to bring you every detail of that report. We're going to go through

00:10:38.620 it line by line, and I predict it's going to look very, very bad for Democrats and their cronies.

00:10:55.840 So much going on this week. I know I can't keep track, so I had to bring in my good buddy and

00:11:00.920 fellow rebel, Amanda Head, to talk about it all. Amanda, big Friday, big week to recap here. All right,

00:11:07.100 let's go through what we've got. We've got Mueller apparently telling Giuliani, and Giuliani telling

00:11:12.160 CNN, Fox News, whoever will listen, that Mueller won't indict Trump. We've got Donald Trump responding

00:11:18.720 to the Fresno County Sheriff, Margaret Mims, clearly responding to her comment about MS-13,

00:11:23.700 calling them animals. I think that's mild. And the left-wing media losing their minds,

00:11:27.740 but then the Associated Press even backpedaling and saying, oops, maybe he did mean to call MS-13 animals.

00:11:33.500 We've got North Korea saying they're going to leave the summit, but they're saying now,

00:11:37.300 well, the U.S. is saying they're not going to leave. And we find out that Hillary Clinton

00:11:40.560 is being paid a million bucks by the DNC to speak. He lost twice, a two-time loser,

00:11:47.760 lost to Obama, lost in the general election. Apparently, if you lose twice, you get a million

00:11:52.060 bucks. I should start losing. Apparently, winning. Doesn't work. All right, let's first start with the

00:11:56.780 Mueller investigation. You've been following it. We've all been following it. Mueller now telling

00:12:01.280 Giuliani that he will not indict the president. So my first question, right, as a former law

00:12:06.160 enforcement guy, somebody who analyzes this is, why does Mueller need to continue on one more day?

00:12:12.280 If President Trump can't be indicted, why continue on one more day? Trump should ignore Mueller,

00:12:17.740 make believe he doesn't exist, not sit for an interview, not answer written questions. What do

00:12:21.780 you think? You know, I think Mueller, I think he has a pretty close competition with Comey as far as

00:12:28.480 arrogance. And, you know, as far as the president not being able to be indicted, this is something

00:12:33.960 we've known all along. You first have to start impeachment proceedings before you can indict a

00:12:38.380 president. You can't indict him as he is in office because it's considered a distraction to the

00:12:43.280 to the presidency and can can harm the country. So we've known this all along. So, I mean, it's just

00:12:48.760 it's the same conversation we keep having over and over about why continue and why the, you know,

00:12:54.040 the scope was this. And now it's like, it's it's beyond the reach of a morbidly obese person,

00:13:00.700 you know. And now I'm seeing new information. Ryan Saavedra from Daily Wire. Ryan's usually pretty

00:13:07.660 spot on is I put on Twitter about the last night at some point, put it up on Twitter. Oh, I guess

00:13:14.840 about four o'clock Eastern time yesterday, that Robert Mueller agreed to narrow down questions that

00:13:20.520 he wants to ask Trump if Trump would sit with him. And he was referencing, apparently, a Washington

00:13:24.200 Times piece. I still wouldn't sit with him. This just tells me that Mueller is even more desperate

00:13:29.040 to get Trump into his perjury trap. Look, I have no business speaking on legal matters. I have not

00:13:34.780 gone to law school, but I don't think that it takes a legal mind to know that, no, President Trump,

00:13:41.160 you should not be sitting down with him for any manner of time or reason. No, absolutely not. Right.

00:13:46.540 And it takes time. As we have seen all along, Mueller is not going to find anything. We are on

00:13:51.300 the one year anniversary of them opening this investigation and they haven't found anything

00:13:56.400 yet. You're from Alabama. You're from Alabama, Amanda. You know Jeff Sessions. What is he doing?

00:14:04.820 I don't know. I mean, I think you and I have talked about this off air before when when he was

00:14:10.480 appointed. I had really, really high hopes. He's a bulldog in the state of Alabama.

00:14:14.860 Yeah. He did a lot of incredible things. He prosecuted a lot of a lot of people that other

00:14:20.500 people wouldn't touch. But he I don't I don't know if he's tired in his old age or. Right. Yeah,

00:14:28.100 I think that's what it is. He's just exhausted and he realized how he's probably just utterly

00:14:33.200 exhausted. Could be. I mean, that's what my takeaway is. He got there, saw how deep all the problems

00:14:38.280 run and he doesn't want to. He doesn't have the will to fight it. He just he doesn't want to go

00:14:42.340 through the exercise of fighting. And frankly, you can't really blame the guy.

00:14:46.680 No, listen, it's a nightmare. And a lot of the people that he might have to prosecute,

00:14:49.640 people that he sat with for 35 years and was friendly with. I mean, he was the wrong pick.

00:14:53.840 He was the wrong pick because he was part of the establishment that was trying to take out Trump.

00:14:58.520 It really was. Now. All right. I got to go to the big story here. That's making me smile.

00:15:01.860 The DNC is about to pay Hillary Clinton a million dollars to speak. What in the world do they think

00:15:10.860 they're going to get for their million bucks? This is like. And not to get too personal,

00:15:17.660 but this is like that relationship that everybody has probably once in their life where you keep

00:15:22.240 going back to the really, really bad ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend. It's an abusive relationship.

00:15:26.860 Yeah. But the DNC. All right. So we know that Hillary, we know from Donna Brazile's book that 1.00

00:15:34.300 Hillary was basically controlling the purse strings during the course of the presidential election, 1.00

00:15:38.380 controlling the whole damn party. Yeah. So I don't know. I mean, I feel like the DNC at this point, 0.99

00:15:44.160 the way that they are getting manhandled and bruised and their bank account is being shattered by her at

00:15:50.100 this point. The DNC logo needs to be a donkey, like on all fours, just bending over. Oh, it's terrible. 0.57

00:15:57.700 A million bucks to this woman. I Googled that image to try to find a mock-up for the new DNC logo. 0.99

00:16:03.040 And you can't imagine what Google search provided me. Oh, I'm sure I can. When I Googled donkey

00:16:09.160 bending over, it wasn't donkeys. I'll tell you that. Why would you be Googling that? I'm going to laugh

00:16:17.200 the day you get home. I want to help the DNC and help them. So I am going to love it. The day you

00:16:23.380 get home and guys in windbreakers are hauling out your laptop in a plastic bag. It is going to be a

00:16:27.680 glorious, glorious day for me when I get that phone call. No, but, but all kidding aside, look,

00:16:33.260 this is, this tells me that the DNC knows they have nobody on the bench, right? You've got Tom Perez,

00:16:39.220 the chairman who looks like a, I don't know. He looks like a junkie. This guy, I'm sorry. He does. 0.90

00:16:44.380 He looks like the junkies I used to lock up in the Bronx. It's all gaunt and kind of looks

00:16:48.060 thuggish. You've got Keith Allison who never met a radical Muslim he didn't love. He's a 1.00

00:16:51.420 buddy of Farrakhan. They run the party. Yeah. And these are the same, these are the same people

00:16:56.740 who have been not necessarily explicitly saying, but alluding to the fact that they would like

00:17:02.000 for some younger chickens to get the spotlight and for Hillary to go away. I hate to go back to

00:17:06.340 the relationship analogy again, but it's like that person who breaks up with someone and they're

00:17:10.320 like, Oh, I can find somebody better and come to find out they can't. So they go back to

00:17:14.260 them. Right. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. Hillary has no message anymore. Her 0.99

00:17:18.860 entire platform is basically telling you that the only reason you have opinions is because

00:17:23.220 I allow you to speak on my show because you're a lowly woman who, who can't fend for yourself 1.00

00:17:28.200 and you need men to see you and clothe you and pay you. I mean, it's, it's pathetic. It's 0.99

00:17:33.740 pathetic. What do you think? If anything, we're going to hear new from Hillary. 1.00

00:17:37.220 I, I think, you know, every time she does a speaking engagement and she comes out with

00:17:43.180 a new excuse, I think to myself, all right, this has gotta be it. Like she's gotta, she

00:17:47.460 has to have exhausted her list of excuses. Um, I think that she's probably going to talk

00:17:53.200 about more reasons why she didn't win blaming it on, on white people and rednecks and deplorables 1.00

00:17:59.460 and, and all of that, but I says the white woman from Arkansas. Right. But she's also, 1.00

00:18:04.420 she's going to try to find a way to spin things that 80% of America sees as really, really good 0.98

00:18:12.900 things. Uh, you know, most notably last week, capturing five top ISIS officials, bringing

00:18:18.280 home three prisoners from North Korea. She's going to attempt to spin those things the way,

00:18:22.800 basically the way she did all along, all of the things that she did that were detrimental 0.97

00:18:27.320 to our country during her time as secretary of state, the same way that she spun those

00:18:31.300 things. She's going to try to do that again. Doesn't that backfire on her, Amanda? You're 1.00

00:18:34.820 out to look, you have, you have the show here on the show here on the rebel. You do spokesperson

00:18:38.320 work for large organizations. You travel to the country. You're in DC. You're talking to

00:18:42.720 voters, mostly conservative like me, but we talk to people on both sides of the aisle, the

00:18:46.660 working independent, the blue dog working Democrat. They're tired of that message. They don't 0.95

00:18:51.600 want to hear it anymore. They're, they have money in their paychecks. They can take their

00:18:55.240 families on vacation. They don't want to hear Hillary whining on about identity politics. 1.00

00:18:59.580 Yeah. A woman who, who I perform singing gigs with, who is a bleeding heart liberal. She voted 1.00

00:19:05.140 for Hillary Clinton. She was all about, you know, she had like the H sticker on her car and all that 1.00

00:19:10.780 kind of stuff. And even she has said to me a few times in the last couple of months, we really just

00:19:16.220 need her to go away because nobody's with her anymore. She's a tall tree that is soaking up all of

00:19:21.800 the sunshine. And you know, people are saying this blue wave that's coming in November.

00:19:26.240 I don't, I don't see it. I don't see it. Yeah. I don't see it, Amanda. I mean, you and I look,

00:19:31.260 we're friends. We talk offline and I tell you the same thing. We talk about the same stuff offline

00:19:34.880 that we are on right here. I don't see it. I just, I talk to people. I do not see Democrats. They

00:19:40.720 might pick up a seat here and there, but I think we pick up seats in the U S Senate. I think we retain

00:19:44.960 the house. Let's talk about the Democrats for a second. Who in the world do they have on their bench

00:19:50.220 for 2020? I mean, they're going to try to recycle Hillary and Biden. Is that what the party of youth

00:19:54.600 is going to do? I hope so. That would be fantastic. Honestly, with, I want them to bring Harry Reid

00:20:01.520 and his eye patch back. That would really be fitting. The nonsensical moves that they are

00:20:05.820 making right now, as far as, you know, you've got people within the DNC who refuse to denounce

00:20:11.080 Louis Farrakhan. Right. Right. All of these, these terrible decisions that they seem to be making.

00:20:16.220 I wouldn't be surprised if Bernie Sanders doesn't die by then, if they throw him back on the ballot.

00:20:21.900 Oh no, throw him back on the ballot. His career, then he'll be, his career will be slightly better

00:20:26.080 than Tupac's at that point. Because the only thing Tupac hasn't done since he's been dead is run for

00:20:30.380 president. He's pretty much done everything else. Instead of having a, the presidential doctor,

00:20:35.860 like, like what's his name at the VA, they're going to have to hire a doctor who's more,

00:20:40.420 more in tune with hospice responsibility. Yeah. The presidential undertaker for Bernie Sanders.

00:20:45.820 The presidential coroner. He's going to be on staff at the White House.

00:20:48.960 Who's just a hospice nurse.

00:20:50.480 The hospice nurse in a truckload. It depends for the Secret Service.

00:20:53.660 It's going to be awesome. No, really, they've got nobody on the bench, right? I mean,

00:20:57.020 think about it. Who do they have? They wanted Julian Castro. He was an epic flop.

00:21:01.360 They thought Cory Booker was going to be the savior. But back to the matter is Cory Booker,

00:21:05.360 the Newark Police Department, under the tenure of Cory Booker as mayor, had more civil rights

00:21:10.840 lawsuits for abusing black defendants than at any time in the Newark PD's history. So there goes

00:21:16.180 Booker. And Cory Booker, personality-wise, has not done well for himself. During all of these

00:21:21.600 appointment hearings and such, he's not done well for himself. I hear Kamala or Kamala Harris,

00:21:27.000 I hear her name thrown out there. But I think, shockingly, she is far too left.

00:21:31.680 You know what somebody told me, though? I was talking to somebody about this the other day,

00:21:34.440 and they made a good point. They said, don't be surprised, and it would be formidable if you

00:21:39.220 see a Joe Manchin-Kamala Harris ticket.

00:21:45.140 Ideologically, they're nowhere close.

00:21:46.900 No, but it's what the party would want. And ideologically, they are nowhere close. So you

00:21:50.880 get both camps of the Democrats. You get those blue dogs, and then you bring in those radicals.

00:21:55.420 Now, would Manchin pick a Kamala Harris as his VP? I don't know, but politically, it makes sense.

00:22:01.000 You've got California. You've got West Virginia. You've got coal country. You have environmentalists.

00:22:06.380 It's an interesting idea.

00:22:09.620 It's an interesting dichotomy, but it's an amalgamation of, you know, first on the ticket

00:22:14.520 and second on the ticket. You know, people, reasonably-minded people, know that the vice

00:22:20.740 president signs on for the president's agenda. People who are all worried about Mike Pence and his

00:22:27.380 alleged, not true, anti-gay bias, are so worried about him. And it's like, he's the vice president.

00:22:34.980 He signs on for Donald Trump's agenda, not the other way around. So I don't know how that would

00:22:39.820 work out. And I don't know that Joe Manchin really carries the popularity with people on the far left.

00:22:46.700 Neither did a state senator from Illinois who was only in the U.S. Senate for two years that nobody had

00:22:51.560 ever heard of, whose name sounded like he was one of the 9-11 hijackers, and he wound up a two-term

00:22:56.380 president. I don't put anything past marketing anymore.

00:22:59.720 Nor do I. It's powerful.

00:23:01.240 No, I really, I really, really don't. All right. Now, let's move on. So many stories. North Korea,

00:23:07.480 they're saying they're not going to come to the table. I believe they are. They were complaining

00:23:10.380 about Operation Max Thunder, the joint military training exercise that had been planned years,

00:23:15.080 years back. U.S. gave them a little concession. We took the B-52 and 8F-22 Raptors out of the

00:23:21.420 exercises that seems to have placated those maniacs. Do you think there's going to be a

00:23:26.200 summit? I do. Yes. And these are exercises that they've been doing for a long time.

00:23:31.160 So for them, they've all of a sudden got a B in their bonnet. And it's not because they

00:23:36.120 genuinely have a B in their bonnet over it. It's because someone, I guess, finally translated

00:23:40.860 the art of the deal into Korean. And I guess he finally read it. But here's the thing. We have

00:23:46.600 the guy negotiating with them who literally wrote the book on deal making. Donald Trump is not going

00:23:52.680 anywhere. North Korea has everything to lose. Everything to lose. Everything to lose.

00:23:59.000 The summit will take place. And I'm hopeful. Yeah, look, it's going to take place. And at the

00:24:05.300 end of the day, China is going to do what they do, which is why we're giving this deal to ZTE,

00:24:10.280 despite all the same intelligence agencies that Donald Trump colluded with Russia being afraid

00:24:14.340 of ZTE. By the way, let's talk about that for a second. So you see that everybody's hysterical.

00:24:18.440 Christopher Ray is saying, I can't believe Donald Trump is going to let Chinese cellular ZTE

00:24:22.220 into the United States with all the warnings we've had. Christopher Ray needs to go away. I'm sorry.

00:24:27.580 He says this on the heels of us learning that the FBI used national security letters,

00:24:32.240 not even subpoenas, overseen by a prosecutor, let alone FISA warrants, overseen by a judge,

00:24:37.220 self-generated national security letters, presumably signed by Andrew McCabe,

00:24:41.660 because the deputy director could sign him to spy on the cell phones of the Trump campaign.

00:24:46.140 And he has the audacity to talk about a Chinese cell phone company.

00:24:49.360 He doesn't carry much weight when it comes to national security pertaining to ZTE. 0.97

00:24:54.300 No, it's ridiculous. I mean, this is so silly. They use the, you know, think about that for a 0.99

00:24:58.460 second. I mean, the FBI can write letters, sign those letters in the secrecy of the FBI building.

00:25:04.980 They don't have to tell you why this national security letter was generated. They don't have to

00:25:08.680 tell you what's in it. They don't have to tell you the parameters, the scope of the letter.

00:25:12.060 And this letter is, is essentially equivalent to a subpoena. It allows them to grab up a lot of

00:25:17.380 our personal information. Every America should find, every American should find this chilling.

00:25:22.960 Honestly, this is, this is just one more nail in the coffin for the FBI. I'm sure you saw that

00:25:27.800 article about John Brennan actually inserting pieces of the dossier into the daily.

00:25:33.200 Yeah. So when he was CIA director, inserting pieces of the dossier into the president's daily

00:25:36.620 brief, Amanda, that is beyond bad.

00:25:38.780 They're hurting across the board.

00:25:41.880 No, but that was beyond bad because here's what I don't believe about that story. I don't believe

00:25:46.660 Obama didn't know what he was getting. And I don't believe Obama was duped by Brennan into believing

00:25:50.860 that this is all valid CIA intelligence.

00:25:54.000 Yeah. There are a lot of things I don't like about Obama, but he's not stupid. 0.98

00:25:57.620 No, not at all. He's one of the most conniving, cunning guys out there. I believe he knew full well, 0.98

00:26:02.360 and it was with his consent and at his urging that those items went into the presidential daily

00:26:07.680 brief. I firmly, firmly believe that. All right. So we tackled Hillary getting a million bucks. 1.00

00:26:13.580 We talked about Mueller. We talked about North Korea. I know there's one I'm missing. I know

00:26:17.880 there's one I'm missing. What am I missing here?

00:26:19.380 Uh, oh, IG report. IG report. So, right. So, and AP. Right. So the Associated Press walked back

00:26:28.080 their, uh, Associated Press walked back their statement on Twitter anyway, about Trump calling

00:26:35.080 illegal aliens, animals, Associated Press. I'll paraphrase. And they said, look, we deleted our

00:26:39.440 tweet because it was pretty clear that he was talking about MS-13. So let's talk about the way that this

00:26:44.560 was reported. Okay. So ABC news, the New York times, NBC news, Associated Press, CBS news, CNN,

00:26:50.420 and even C-SPAN reported this inaccurately because they didn't include the context that he was talking

00:26:56.900 about MS-13 game. To the sheriff who specifically referenced MS-13. She spoke to him. She got to the

00:27:03.640 period in her sentence. He replied. She said MS-13 with the sheriff was saying Margaret Mims is she's

00:27:09.560 very frustrated because she can't report MS-13 gangbangers to ICE. Yeah. And then he

00:27:14.480 proceeds to talk about how, who they were just talking about are animals. So anyway, so they

00:27:22.400 all reported this the same way, which was out of context and implying that he was talking about

00:27:27.760 immigrants as a whole. The AP was the only one who issued a redaction or a correction,

00:27:31.920 but this was their correction. They tweeted 24 hours later. So it took them 24 hours to figure out

00:27:38.580 that it was poor reporting. And they said, AP has deleted a tweet from late Wednesday on Trump's

00:27:43.620 animals, comments about immigrants because it wasn't made clear that he was speaking after

00:27:48.420 a comment about gang members. So that's your correction. A day later, it's, it's very inadequate.

00:27:56.580 And it certainly, it certainly is now yesterday. And it was even funnier to see the celebrity

00:28:02.820 comments that ensued. I mean, these people, you want to talk about the most idiotic, dishonest, 1.00

00:28:07.740 egg on your face, people, Kathy Griffin and, and whoever else, Andy Griffin is an American treasure. 1.00

00:28:13.740 You leave her alone. She is one of the, yeah, she's just an American treasure. No, these people

00:28:17.980 are beside themselves because they, along with the lunatic, like Louise Mensch and, and John Schindler

00:28:23.260 and all these other people out there in the fringe media, they were convinced Trump was going to jail,

00:28:27.980 that there were all these conspiracies going on. They're very disappointed that their, uh,

00:28:32.700 that their conspiracy theories turn out not to be true. Speaking of that, Breitbart yesterday

00:28:38.220 reported, here it is report inspector general will declare that FBI and DOJ broke law on the Clinton

00:28:44.300 email problem. Yesterday, I saw the tweet from Paul Sperry. Sperry was formerly the, uh, let's see,

00:28:50.060 let me pull this up here. He was the former DC bureau chief for investors business daily. And now he's a

00:28:55.500 Hoover institution media fellow. So this is not some random guy. Berry tweeted yesterday,

00:29:02.940 breaking IG Horowitz has found quote, reasonable grounds, end quote, for believing there has been a

00:29:08.420 violation of federal criminal law in the FBI DOJ is handling of the Clinton investigation and has

00:29:14.860 referred his findings of potential criminal misconduct to Huber, a special prosecutor from Utah,

00:29:20.900 uh, the U S attorney in Utah that Jeff Sessions appointed a special prosecutor for possible

00:29:26.740 criminal prosecution. Breitbart apparently was able to verify this because they're reporting it.

00:29:32.260 They are reporting this as a Breitbart story. Yeah. So lest we forget that. Okay. So, so the inspector

00:29:39.140 general's report is due to come out this month at some point. Uh, and lest we forget that this report

00:29:46.020 was at the request and behest of Democrats back in January, 2017. And the inspector general was

00:29:51.300 appointed by Obama. Right. Um, but you know, McCabe was fired because the inspector general

00:29:57.780 preliminary findings said that he, he lacked candor. But I think that when the, when the full report

00:30:03.940 comes out, McCabe's lacking candor is going to be the least of their problems and the least of his

00:30:10.180 problems, the least of the stacking chips from his book revenue, because I think he's going to need that

00:30:15.780 for legal fees. Oh, Comey's going to need a lot of money for legal fees, but, but this really

00:30:19.460 underscores the bigger issue, right? The complete, this will, this will finalize America's erosion of

00:30:26.580 confidence in the FBI and the department of justice. Jeff Sessions and Christopher Ray said,

00:30:31.780 idly by silently, don't do a thing. I do not understand this. And, and it stinks because you've

00:30:37.940 got 95% of those agencies, uh, you know, the rank and file people who go to work every day and do

00:30:43.860 their people are really, really good, honest, diligent people. And you know, they, they are

00:30:50.180 suffering because of the reputation of their superiors. No, it's tragic. This is absolutely

00:30:55.700 tragic. It's a terrible, terrible thing. So what do you think, Amanda? How are we looking in the

00:31:00.100 midterms? Who do you like? Uh, let's see the pack that I represent. We're supporting Marsha Blackburn.

00:31:07.220 I love her. She's, she's a sweetheart. She's hardcore too. I like Marsha Blackburn.

00:31:10.980 Yeah. She lives very near to where I was actually, where I grew up in Nashville. Um,

00:31:15.940 who else? I don't know. I think we, I'm kind of waiting to see closer to time. And I feel like

00:31:22.180 I'm going to need some R and R when we get back from our rebel trip in Israel, but we're going to 0.97

00:31:28.180 have to hit the ground running because it'd be just a few months out from midterm.

00:31:31.220 So the midterms are happening. We had the Pennsylvania primaries yesterday,

00:31:34.740 some strong Republicans won. Our buddy Scott Eulinger didn't, unfortunately,

00:31:38.500 but Lou Barletta did. He won the nomination for Senate. Scott Wagner did for governor. I think we're

00:31:42.500 in a pretty good place with the candidates we have in these districts in Pennsylvania.

00:31:46.100 And you're seeing a pattern of people who, who are either officially backed by President Trump or who

00:31:52.900 President Trump has spoken fondly of. You're seeing a trend of these people being successful

00:31:57.620 in their primaries. Yeah. I think that's going to be the case. Amanda Head, 0.97

00:32:00.900 one of our fellow rebels. Thanks as always, my friend. Thank you.

00:32:17.060 Trump derangement syndrome has hit a fever pitch. You see it out there on social media. Liberals,

00:32:21.860 even establishment Republicans are beside themselves. They still can't come to terms

00:32:26.340 of the fact that Trump won the election. We're coming up on two years, two years since election

00:32:31.620 day, 2016. We're about six months away. And, and many in the establishment on both sides of the

00:32:37.220 political aisle are losing their minds by the day because Trump is actually doing a great job

00:32:42.180 as president. He's proving all his critics wrong and proving all of us who supported him very, very

00:32:47.220 right. Well, now it's reached a new level right down here in South Florida and Miami, about 35 minutes

00:32:53.860 from where the studio sits is, of course, Trump National Doral. It's a big resort, a golf club,

00:32:59.140 a country club. It's a beautiful place. One of the best golf courses in the nation. Well,

00:33:03.220 apparently a man who was yelling what is quoted to be anti-Trump sentiment was arrested after

00:33:10.260 exchanging gunfire with police officers, police officers from the Doral. Doral is its own city as

00:33:16.660 well. The Doral Police Department. I've got friends in that department. It's a very nice town. The Doral Police

00:33:21.860 Department and Miami-Dade, the county police. He exchanged gunfire with them in the lobby. Now,

00:33:27.620 luckily, as the police put it, they neutralized him. I don't believe they killed him. He's under arrest

00:33:32.020 before he could injure anyone. Local outlets ran the story of this from Fox News. This yellow caution

00:33:37.860 tape was seen stretched across the main gate of the Trump National Doral Golf Club Friday morning,

00:33:42.980 following the overnight rampage in which the shooter identified as a 42-year-old Doral resident.

00:33:50.180 Jonathan Odie burst into the property for unknown reasons and draped an American flag over a lobby

00:33:56.580 counter while spraying bullets. This guy was ready for war. He was waiting for our officers to come in.

00:34:03.380 That's from Juan Perez, the director of the Miami-Dade Police Department. This is just terrible,

00:34:09.540 absolutely terrible. Perez said that the suspect, Odie, was yelling, quote, yelling and spewing some

00:34:15.780 information about President Trump. It was anti-Trump sentiment. And he was eventually neutralized

00:34:22.740 in a shootout, suffering multiple gunshot wounds to the legs, in stable condition, under arrest.

00:34:28.340 Obviously, Eric Trump put out a tweet, the president's son, who is an executive in the Trump

00:34:32.940 organization and the group that oversees the hotel. Eric Trump tweeted, a huge thank you to the

00:34:37.820 incredible men and women of the Doral Police Department and Miami-Dade PD. Every day they

00:34:41.900 could keep our community safe. We are very grateful to you. These are good departments as far as policing

00:34:47.980 goes. Doral PD, very professional organization. Miami-Dade PD, large organization. They were on scene

00:34:53.460 very, very quickly, did a great job, neutralized the shooter and saved lives. No innocents were hurt.

00:35:00.820 Now, what they say is that it appears he was trying to engage the police in an ambush-style attack. He was

00:35:06.980 prepared. He prepared the area for battle. And Perez, the director of Miami-Dade police, accurately,

00:35:13.540 accurately said, quote, in my opinion, they probably saved a hell of a lot of lives today

00:35:18.680 because this could have gone a lot worse. And the call for the active shooter came in

00:35:23.040 at about 1.30 a.m. this morning. And Doral is a small city. They're very well-funded,

00:35:31.780 large corporations in Doral. U.S. Southern Command is in Doral. Carnival Cruise Lines is in Doral.

00:35:38.340 Nationals in Doral. So the police department, for a smaller department, very well-funded,

00:35:43.380 very well-trained. They have their pick of the better cops who apply, great equipment,

00:35:48.520 brand new cars. They were on scene immediately, immediately, as were officers from Miami-Dade PD.

00:35:56.940 They did an outstanding textbook job in responding here. And I have to agree with Director Perez.

00:36:03.980 They saved a lot of lives. They saved a lot of lives. And it's really encouraging when the

00:36:08.020 director of a police agency backs his officers to the wall like this. He goes, bet your bottom

00:36:14.360 dollar there are going to be some on the left saying, oh, the man was probably mentally ill and 0.91

00:36:18.180 they should have used stun guns. No. They should have engaged him with gunfire and took him down like 0.74

00:36:22.360 they did. Now, the Secret Service is, of course, involved because this is a property owned by the

00:36:26.780 president's family. A Doral officer, one, was injured. He suffered a broken wrist, probably

00:36:31.140 diving out of the way of gunfire, but he's going to be fine. The Secret Service issued a statement,

00:36:35.780 quote, the U.S. Secret Service is aware of the shooting that took place early this morning

00:36:39.680 at the Trump National Doral Golf Club in Doral, Florida. Special agents from the Miami field office

00:36:44.820 are on scene and working closely with our law enforcement partners. Now, Trump purchased the

00:36:50.040 property, Trump Organization, back in 2012. Great place. I've been in Doral many times. Food is

00:36:56.320 excellent, beautiful golf course, and it's a really, really sprawling, sprawling, beautiful

00:37:01.480 property. In fact, back when I was in the private sector, I had my office in Doral. I was right

00:37:07.640 across the street from Carnival Cruise Lines when I was doing work tracking sex offenders

00:37:11.300 and terror fundraising online. My office was with an eyeshot of the hotel. If I walked up to

00:37:16.500 the main road, 87th Avenue, I could see the hotel. I would go there for lunch often. I had a lot of

00:37:22.300 friends who played golf there. So it's a place I've spent a lot of time, not a place you expect

00:37:27.460 this to happen by any means, by any means. It's just, what? Bad things happen everywhere. That's

00:37:34.580 why carry a firearm wherever you're legally allowed to do so, because these things happen.

00:37:40.940 People are unhinged. They're hysterical. But this is just one more in a long line of violence against

00:37:47.160 conservatives, against people that support the president. For Republicans, of course,

00:37:50.500 you're a member of the congressional baseball games when a leftist, a Bernie Sanders supporting

00:37:54.540 leftist, shot at Congress people nearly killing Representative Steve Scalise. He had many months

00:38:00.420 in the hospital and of therapy. Luckily, he's back to work now and he's okay. But it could have

00:38:06.720 turned out far, far worse as it could have in Doral. And so, you know, stay frosty, watch your six,

00:38:13.020 keep an eye open. And man, it's getting dangerous out there. It's pretty sad, right? As this president

00:38:18.780 succeeds, there are lunatics out there that want to go shoot up hotels and engage the police 0.94

00:38:26.000 because of their hatred for the persons duly elected and sitting in the Oval Office. Really 0.81

00:38:31.880 very tragic. As much as I'm a fan of President Trump, and I think he is artfully executing his

00:38:48.900 agenda, keeping campaign promises, one of the places the Trump White House has fallen down

00:38:53.360 are with the leakers. Now, Reince Priebus and Katie Walsh, Priebus's deputy, were forced out. They were

00:38:58.760 the most notorious leakers leaking to Maggie Haberman from the New York Times. Their departures from the

00:39:04.200 White House confirmed that. But it was an open secret in D.C. and our media circles. They were

00:39:10.240 known leakers. They had a longtime relationship with Haberman, someone who's very critical of the

00:39:13.780 president. Oh, another Fox News story here. White House comms purge likely imminent after leaks.

00:39:19.480 Senior staff warn in closed door meeting. And this needs to happen. Now, this, of course,

00:39:24.000 all comes on the heels of Kelly Sadler, someone in the communications office who, uh, Kelly Sadler's

00:39:30.860 job, from what I understand, was, was running the surrogates, those people that you see out there in

00:39:34.960 the media, uh, helping spread the messaging of the White House, not official staffers, people who are

00:39:40.600 on the advisory committees, things of that nature. And her job was to manage them. And in behind closed

00:39:45.520 doors, he, uh, said about John McCain, that his opinion on Gina Haspel, the CIA nominee, who was

00:39:52.800 confirmed yesterday by the Senate, by the way, Gina Haspel was ultimately confirmed. We have a CIA

00:39:57.960 director. I like Gina Haspel because she's tough on terror. I'm concerned because she was so close

00:40:03.260 to John Brennan. President Trump picked her. Mike Pompeo, who I do trust, our secretary of state,

00:40:08.340 former CIA director, likes Gina Haspel. President Trump seems to like her. So I'm going to give her

00:40:13.440 the benefit of the doubt. Well, Sadler was overheard talking about, uh, John McCain's opposition to

00:40:19.100 Haspel. And she said, his opinion is irrelevant because quote, he's dying anyway. That, uh, came

00:40:25.580 last week. And, and the problem was mainstream media seized on that. I was watching, I typically

00:40:31.380 watch the White House daily press briefing that Sarah Huckabee Sanders or Raj Shah, if Sarah's not

00:40:36.520 around. And the, uh, the other day, the media asked eight questions about Kelly Sadler's statement

00:40:44.220 on John McCain. Sadler had already apologized to the McCain family. Media asked eight questions.

00:40:50.280 They asked one on North Korea and they asked one on Hamas infiltrating the border in Israel,

00:40:56.400 uh, through Gaza. Eight questions about a benign comment, maybe an off color comment, but a benign

00:41:03.300 comment from a White House staffer behind closed doors. Now the leaks are, uh, getting out of control

00:41:10.000 and they're compromising the presidency. And most of those leaking from what I'm being told by

00:41:15.080 sources inside the White House. And you watch the show, you know, my answer turns out to be right

00:41:19.180 now. I can't confirm that any of this is accurate, but what I'm told and what I've suspected for almost

00:41:25.040 two years now, that many of these leaks are from the holdover. See, Donald Trump, when he came in

00:41:29.200 was such an, uh, an anti-establishment candidate, he unseated those 17 people in the primary, all of whom

00:41:35.220 had ties to the establishment Republican party, the RNC under ranks previous. And when Trump came

00:41:42.120 in office, he, uh, the RNC reluctantly provided him with some money and some ground game support

00:41:47.340 volunteers, get out the vote efforts, all those things, people knocking on doors and handing out

00:41:51.920 pamphlets and palm cards, all those things you need to win an election. And so the give back to the RNC

00:41:58.500 for finally and reluctantly helping him was he had a key, you know, bring some people on that they

00:42:02.540 wanted. And he brought these establishment people who were really rabid, never Trumpers prior to him

00:42:08.920 bringing them into the administration. These people were not Trump fans. In fact, they were really

00:42:13.900 critical of this president while he brought them in anyway, despite some oil campaign staff were saying

00:42:20.180 not to do it. He did it. And he really didn't have a choice. Those have all turned out to be the leakers.

00:42:25.840 Those many of those people, and pretty much exclusively those people are the ones who have already been let 0.99

00:42:30.700 go for leaking, but there are still many of them inside the white house. And I predict that's 0.69

00:42:36.100 who's leaking. So Trump issued a tweet, uh, this week, he said the so-called leaks coming out of

00:42:41.000 the white house are a massive over-exaggeration put out by the fake news media in order to make us

00:42:45.220 look as bad as possible. But that being said, leakers are traitors and cowards, and we will find 0.99

00:42:50.520 out who they are. So he is right. The leaks are nowhere, nowhere near as bad as they were under 0.97

00:42:56.000 Reince Priebus and Katie Walsh or better since general Kelly came in, but you still got these

00:43:01.120 staffers like the ones in the meeting with Kelly Sadler who leaked the information. Now this news

00:43:07.560 comes as senior officials from Fox news and the white house communications office have decided to

00:43:12.300 cancel the large morning comms teams meeting meetings attended by lower ranking staffers in an

00:43:18.580 apparent effort to clamp down on links. Quote, periodically, we streamline our operations to

00:43:24.940 better communicate the president's message. End quote. Deputy white house press secretary,

00:43:29.500 Lindsay Walters said in a statement about the restructuring of the meetings. I've had my own

00:43:33.780 dealings with Lindsay Walters. She was very close to Katie Walsh. Lindsay Walters is one of those people

00:43:39.340 who was an establishment holdover from the Katie Walsh era. So I'll reserve judgment on Lindsay Walters.

00:43:45.340 The uncertainty intention has led several, several junior staffers and even some top staffers in the

00:43:50.600 communications department to look for an exit according to white house sources, but finding

00:43:55.080 good landing spots outside the Trump white house has been difficult. Well, that's because a you're not

00:44:02.420 perceived as liberal enough to go work for CNN or ABC and B if you're leaking, who's going to trust you?

00:44:09.000 Who is going to trust you? Now, apparently the warnings to the staff that there was going to be a purge of

00:44:14.900 the communications group inside the white house were delivered pretty much from the top, uh, not by

00:44:20.640 Donald Trump himself, but by chief of staff, John Kelly and Trump's close advisor, Kellyanne Conway.

00:44:26.560 Kellyanne Conway was, uh, out on Fox news the other day. And when she was asked if there were going to

00:44:31.080 be staff changes, she said, yes, she was not pulling any punches. And this needs to happen because you,

00:44:37.800 you can't effectively run an organization, let alone the white house with leakers. You can't run a law firm 0.99

00:44:44.340 during a litigation with leaks, but we're talking about the white house. We're talking about national

00:44:48.520 security. We're talking about the most secretive secrets in this, in the world, in many respects,

00:44:55.860 most secretive secrets in our government. I mean, literally the, where our nuclear sites are, where our

00:45:01.340 troops are deployed, who our, uh, um, non-official cover operatives, intelligence operatives are.

00:45:07.660 There is very, very critical information being passed around in the white house every day,

00:45:13.600 information that could get people killed where it leaked. And we're seeing far too many leaks.

00:45:19.460 In fact, everything is, is far too leaky. Mueller's investigation should be shut down because of the

00:45:24.880 leaks alone. James Comey, the FBI director leaked memos, Andrew McCabe leaked. People are so hysterical,

00:45:31.340 so unhinged, much like I was talking about in the previous segment with the shooter at Trump,

00:45:35.360 Doral, that they would rather leak to destroy this president. If they can't destroy him by some

00:45:41.180 mechanical method, by some procedural method, if they can't destroy him, they can't destroy his

00:45:47.600 presidency by using law procedure and the constitution, which they can't because he's been a great president

00:45:57.720 has done nothing wrong. Well, then they're going to try to assassinate his character. The destroyer's

00:46:02.660 reputation to the point where his situation will be untenable and he won't be able to continue on

00:46:07.360 as president. Excuse me. That's going to fail as well. And so it really is long past time to make an

00:46:14.060 example of these leakers. We need to shut these leaks down. These leakers need to be publicly identified

00:46:19.780 and they need to be criminally prosecuted. And if they can't be criminally prosecuted,

00:46:25.060 civilly sued for violating their non-disclosure agreement.
