Today on Off the Cuff Declassified, we're going to be talking about the fake news
00:00:03.440
surrounding the Michael Cohen and Robert Mueller's special counsel investigations.
00:00:09.260
Kurt Schlichter joins me to recap the week, and Amanda Head and I dig into a break-in
00:00:15.040
at Governor Jerry Brown's home, Tom Brokaw, and the group formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America.
00:00:21.260
Plus, border crossing, illegal border crossings on our southern border
00:00:25.880
were up 233% in April from the same period last year.
00:00:43.980
Whenever they potentially get any little sliver of red meat that appears to be damaging to Donald Trump,
00:00:52.460
anyone around Donald Trump, it doesn't matter if it's the nephew of the housekeeper in a Trump hotel,
00:00:59.320
the mainstream media will dig into their life, ruin their life, and make sure that their life is ruined
00:01:06.700
So it should come as no surprise when yesterday, NBC further embarrassed itself.
00:01:12.980
NBC News reported that Donald Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, had been wiretapped by the FBI,
00:01:19.900
and then in one of those calls, it was Donald Trump calling Michael Cohen from the White House
00:01:28.400
Well, officials in the government looked at this, shook their heads, and it was even too much for them,
00:01:34.260
even too much for the deep staters who were out to dethrone, I shouldn't even say dethrone,
00:01:40.280
because Trump has acted more like a president than anyone.
00:01:47.180
NBC reported this, well, shortly thereafter, the reporter, Tom Winter, the investigative reporter
00:01:53.480
at NBC News, and I hate to use that term so loosely, investigative reporter at NBC News,
00:02:00.760
he tweeted, and he tweeted this about 6, let's see, 6.30 p.m. last night, correction, earlier today,
00:02:07.720
NBC News and this reporter said that Michael Cohen's phone lines were wiretapped.
00:02:13.640
Three senior U.S. officials now dispute that, saying the monitoring was limited to a log of calls,
00:02:20.480
a pen register, not a wiretap of Cohen's lines.
00:02:28.960
Michael Cohen's phones are what's called trapped, not tapped.
00:02:35.600
A tap is when you can listen in on those calls and record them.
00:02:42.120
Now, I'm sick of hearing from the mainstream media things like, well, we don't need to understand
00:02:46.640
the nuances of law enforcement and investigative tactics.
00:02:54.940
They didn't know what they were doing, but the meaning is the same.
00:03:02.600
One indicates far more evidence than the other to get the warrant to wiretap.
00:03:12.500
But even worse, I would never, never have been able to report that, never have been allowed
00:03:18.380
to report that here at The Rebel with the editorial standards we have.
00:03:21.980
My managing editor would never have let me report a story like that on evidence so flimsy,
00:03:29.400
on source material so thin that it could only be debunked.
00:03:33.400
It could be debunked only three hours later, four hours later, by three anonymous officials.
00:03:39.200
The anonymous sources were enough to debunk the original reporting.
00:03:48.360
Now, we're seeing a lot of this since Rudy Giuliani went on Sean Hannity's show and essentially
00:03:53.420
blew the liberal narrative that President Trump engaged in some kind of campaign finance
00:04:00.420
Now, as I told you, I believe it was on yesterday's show, the reason, the reason they're trying
00:04:05.500
to say that Donald Trump and Michael Cohen engaged in this funneling of money is because
00:04:10.640
that's exactly what Hillary Clinton did by funneling money through her law firm, Perkins
00:04:14.920
Coey, to Fusion GPS to pay for the steel dossier.
00:04:20.160
And that's probably why NBC News needed to get a story out.
00:04:24.060
They needed to overshadow the things Giuliani was saying.
00:04:26.720
Giuliani is now saying that Jeff Sessions could close down the Mueller probe.
00:04:35.640
Giuliani is saying that special counsel, that Attorney General Jeff Sessions could close,
00:04:41.540
or to use, quote, close, special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
00:04:44.840
And I suspect this is why the fake news is ramping up about Michael Cohen.
00:04:48.540
Whenever there's a solid case to end Mueller's probe, whenever a piece of evidence or material
00:04:55.640
information surface is to end it, the mainstream media miraculously finds something more damning,
00:05:01.740
always based on anonymous sources, on Trump and company.
00:05:05.280
But Giuliani from Fox News says, excuse me, Sessions should close special counsel Robert Mueller's
00:05:10.800
A call that comes from Giuliani amid GOP pressure on Capitol Hill to find out whether the investigation
00:05:20.480
Giuliani said, quote, the basis of the case is dead, meaning Russia collusion.
00:05:34.100
Giuliani went on to say, he said this on Hannity, there's been too much government misconduct.
00:05:38.640
The crimes now have all been committed by the government and their agents.
00:05:46.220
Now, Rosenstein wrote a letter and he wrote a letter, but Rosenstein generated work product
00:05:51.960
that reads in part, quote, on May 17th, 2017, I, Rod Rosenstein, issued an order entitled
00:05:59.560
Appointment of Special Counsel to Investigate Russian Interference of 2016 Presidential Election
00:06:10.080
He wrote this to Mueller, appointing you to serve as special counsel for the United States
00:06:18.920
The order drafted by Rosenstein to Mueller states that Mueller is authorized to conduct
00:06:24.920
an investigation, quote, confirmed by then FBI Director James B. Comey, confirmed by then
00:06:33.600
FBI Director James B. Comey in testimony before the House Intelligence Committee on March
00:06:40.420
20, 2017, including, quote, any links and or coordination between the Russian government
00:06:46.580
and individuals associated with the campaign of Donald Trump and any matters, any matters
00:06:54.560
that arose or may arise directly from that investigation.
00:07:00.300
You don't get the Stormy Daniels from Russia collusion.
00:07:15.500
But they dug a little deeper on Cohen and they were never supposed to do that.
00:07:22.320
Now, Rosenstein then includes a more extensive list with a more specific description.
00:07:30.800
Now, Rosenstein is lashing back out, saying he's being extorted.
00:07:34.640
He said, quote, I can tell you that there are people who have been making threats privately
00:07:41.280
And I think they should understand by now the Department of Justice is not going to be
00:07:46.160
We're going to do what is required by the rule of law and any kind of threats that anybody
00:07:50.140
makes are not going to affect the way we do our job.
00:08:00.820
Rod Rosenstein, only a few months back, threatened members of the House Intelligence Committee.
00:08:05.800
You remember that meeting where he kind of implied that if they pushed too far, he might
00:08:16.880
Mueller is saying that he can expand his investigation with DOJ consent, with DOJ consent, with Rosenstein's
00:08:29.680
Quote, if in the course of his or her investigation, the special counsel concludes that additional
00:08:34.640
jurisdiction beyond that specific in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order
00:08:39.680
to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned or to investigate new matters that come to light
00:08:48.660
He or she will consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional
00:08:54.960
matters within the special counsel's jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere.
00:08:59.240
Meaning that it's at the discretion of Rod Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions, if Sessions should
00:09:05.240
unrecuse, to look at the additional information that Robert Mueller gives them.
00:09:10.300
And they then say, OK, Bob, you investigated a special counsel or thank you.
00:09:19.580
Now, Rosenstein appears to have done that with Michael Cohen.
00:09:22.440
He brought it in and gave it to the Southern District of New York.
00:09:25.520
But it begs the question, why was Mueller looking as far as he was?
00:09:33.460
The mainstream media, the steel dossier, they keep pushing it, pushing it, pushing it.
00:09:37.900
And I believe they're now working in concert with Democrats like Adam Schiff and Ted Lieu,
00:09:42.980
Nancy Pelosi, Dianne Feinstein, Robert Mueller, Rod Rosenstein.
00:09:49.260
The mainstream media appears to be its communications and PR wing.
00:09:53.300
And one thing is for sure, this is all tainted.
00:09:59.740
And I think it is long past time, long past time to heed Rudy Giuliani's advice and find
00:10:06.420
a way for the Department of Justice to shut down Robert Mueller without it blowing back
00:10:10.840
on the president of the United States and his team who have done absolutely nothing wrong.
00:10:32.120
Rudy Giuliani's interview and now NBC News has to do a massive retraction about Michael
00:10:39.740
Joining me now to make sense of this is Kurt Schlichter, trial lawyer extraordinaire and
00:10:50.160
Do you think Giuliani's interview with Sean Hannity the other night hurt Trump, helped
00:10:58.680
I like seeing the never Trumpers going through their little failgasms.
00:11:06.560
You know, I mean, they are so desperate to find something to undo the results of the election.
00:11:14.360
And, you know, Rudy Giuliani's completely destroyed Trump.
00:11:17.220
You know, every time I hear that, I just laugh because Trump's still there.
00:11:22.960
That's totally unimportant, except to normal people.
00:11:25.720
Lowest number of unemployment claims in 45 years.
00:11:30.960
The lowest number of unemployment claims in almost half a century.
00:11:41.380
And here's why I think what Rudy did was brilliant.
00:11:44.560
You and I speak enough offline when he needs to be critiqued, he gets critiqued.
00:11:49.160
Giuliani took all the wind out of the sails of criminality.
00:11:53.400
Giuliani went out there and he said, yep, he paid his lawyer out of personal funds.
00:11:57.100
His lawyer cut the deal and settled and advanced the money.
00:12:01.960
Maybe the evangelicals will have moral problems with it.
00:12:04.720
Well, they sure have a problem when I laughed about it today on Twitter.
00:12:18.680
20 years ago, I was outraged about Bill Clinton lying about sex.
00:12:24.260
And I've gone through two decades of being told it's not important.
00:12:31.120
Now, my personal feelings about it deep inside really don't matter.
00:12:35.920
What matters to me are things like real people having a chance to support their families, job claims at 45-year lows.
00:12:46.080
North and South Korea talking peace after seven decades.
00:12:50.740
The North and South Korean ping pong teams are getting together.
00:12:54.160
Yeah, tens of thousands of young Americans may not die in another horrible Korean war.
00:13:05.360
But when there's a chance that tens of thousands of Americans don't die, I've got to put that down as heavier than a dude at a one-night stand with some stripper 10 years ago and paid her a few bucks to shut up.
00:13:21.980
Is it a shock to anyone's system that the celebrity billionaire might have had some strange on the side?
00:13:30.140
Look, the fact is Donald Trump's personal choices were baked into the mix.
00:13:37.660
We could take a guy who we knew did something, lived a way that you and I probably wouldn't choose to live.
00:13:42.500
Or we could take the woman who lived the way you and I didn't choose to live and who wanted to take all our rights.
00:13:54.960
If you do the job that you're paid to do and your past transgressions don't creep into that job, I couldn't care less what you did.
00:14:04.300
As long as you didn't go out there, as long as you weren't a cocaine trafficker, as long as you didn't molest children or murder 14 people.
00:14:10.100
Who you screwed around with, I couldn't care less.
00:14:13.980
Well, you know, I was a lot more of a moralist 20 years ago.
00:14:18.640
And then I realized that's simply not the rule.
00:14:24.280
I refuse to play a two-track system where I'm tied up in knots and trying to protect my liberty
00:14:31.240
because somebody else has done things that I don't like when those rules aren't applied to my opponents.
00:14:44.040
This whole take the high road narrative these days really only serves to have your Achilles tendon slashed.
00:14:51.640
The high road ends with Americans being free and prosperous.
00:14:59.020
And anything that gets in the way of that, I'm going to fight.
00:15:02.860
And if it takes a guy who lives a lifestyle that neither you nor I particularly approve of,
00:15:10.800
then that's the weapon system I'm going to employ.
00:15:20.240
And maybe people, you know, maybe the Jeff Rubio crew ought to start caring about winning
00:15:25.720
because then maybe people will listen to him instead of knowing, knowing that it's just
00:15:31.700
a long, messy slide to surrender and submission.
00:15:35.020
Look, they would much rather, they would much rather lose in smug sanctimony and wear a little
00:15:40.640
patch that says, hi, my name is conservative purity than they ever would win.
00:15:45.620
If they can, they can, John, because they know that they're preserving their power and prestige.
00:15:52.420
You know, Jeff is always going to get invited to the parties.
00:16:01.460
What about those people who care that we're at a 45-year low for unemployment claims?
00:16:06.000
Well, I'm tired of caring about a bunch of smug pseudo-conservatives of convenience, the
00:16:12.560
cruise ship cons, the Fredo cons, who use this as a resume builder and a gimmick.
00:16:20.540
I'm concerned about real people and real lives.
00:16:22.960
And those are the ones that not only is Donald Trump making more prosperous, but he may be
00:16:32.560
Well, look, the biggest mistake Donald Trump ever made, quite frankly, and I put it squarely
00:16:36.660
on the shoulders of Paul Manafort, was asking Marco Rubio to jump back into the Senate race.
00:16:44.600
Florida had a couple of hardcore, this guy Carlos Baruf was the frontrunner, friend of
00:16:52.860
He was rough around the edges, but he was a hardcore conservative.
00:16:55.780
And Paul Manafort convinced Donald Trump to reconcile with Marco Rubio, brought Marco back
00:17:02.960
He ran right back under John McCain's skirt, and the rest is history.
00:17:07.240
And now we have Marco Rubio complaining that tax reform does too much for corporations.
00:17:23.720
There's this whole crew of people who don't understand.
00:17:27.360
This is not just about who gets the best parking space on Capitol Hill, right?
00:17:32.940
And when you leave Washington, when you leave West Los Angeles, there are real people out
00:17:38.180
there whose lives are improving because of Donald Trump.
00:17:40.360
And there are many, many, many tens of thousands of American families who will not have, who
00:17:45.420
may not, may not have to bury a son or daughter.
00:17:50.940
And I do not trust Kim Jong, whatever the hell his name is, as far as I can throw him,
00:18:00.760
But I'm willing to roll the dice and give it a shot for peace because I know what it,
00:18:18.260
And the reason it's being downplayed, we both know why this is being downplayed.
00:18:22.100
It's being downplayed because the left is mortified.
00:18:38.960
I trust his survival instinct because, as my brilliant town hall article of Thursday said,
00:18:45.000
Donald Trump understands how to use and threaten to use military force.
00:18:51.640
And I think the Koreans figured out, you know, maybe we're up against somebody who's not a pushover,
00:18:57.380
who isn't feckless, who isn't riddled with self-doubt.
00:19:04.020
Maybe we ought to rethink this whole thing and get the best deal we can.
00:19:13.600
If you remember, I know you remember, and for the audience a question,
00:19:17.440
remember when George W. Bush was caught on a hot mic talking to Tony Blair about North Korea
00:19:23.100
and they caught Bush saying to Tony Blair, you've got to tell China to tell him to stop the
00:19:32.520
Trump is the first one to put the screws to China with terrorists to get him to tell North Korea
00:19:38.020
Yeah, I mean, there are a lot of means to exercise power.
00:19:44.480
And Trump uses, Trump's serious about, it's not a game to him.
00:19:48.380
In the same way, it's a game to a lot of these professional, you know, establishment types.
00:19:56.480
You know, according to at least one poll, Trump's at 50-49 approval.
00:20:00.720
And when I read these polls, and I love when a lot of these Fredo cons on the left says to me,
00:20:08.640
I understand data polling weighting better than any of them.
00:20:12.000
And I look at these polls, and even with the weighting, the way the weighting is done is flawed.
00:20:22.940
If these polls accurately represented the population and accounted for weighting in that respect,
00:20:31.100
You know, again, and we're back to it, Trump is not the example a lot of Americans are going to use for their personal life.
00:21:04.920
And if you want to tell me I'm immoral, go ahead and tell me.
00:21:07.640
I don't care how to laugh at you, but go ahead.
00:21:10.300
I'd rather be called immoral, knowing I'm not, and win, than be called a pure conservative
00:21:16.060
and bang my fist on a table complaining about Hillary and reading National Review and the Weekly Standard while doing so.
00:21:22.420
I would much rather you call me immoral while we keep winning.
00:21:30.020
You know, and look, guys like you and me are not going to be appreciated.
00:21:33.160
The guys who supported Trump in 20 years, these guys, because we're going to go back to living normal lives,
00:21:40.900
They're going to be talking about how horrible we are while they're living off the corpse of America that Donald Trump,
00:21:48.840
You know what also drives them crazy, though, Kurt?
00:21:53.600
Let's be realistic about what also drives them crazy.
00:21:56.180
You and I were never supposed to have the brands we do.
00:22:00.220
We never followed the traditional model, and we never went and we kissed.
00:22:03.420
We never kissed the William F. Buckley and Bill Kristol ring and got approval from the Jonah Goldbergs and the Bill Kristols,
00:22:10.460
and we never got our heads patted, and we were never knighted by them, allowed into the conservative activism,
00:22:17.860
journalism, reporting movement, blogging movement, what have you.
00:22:26.020
Don't you feel this—because I'm in Los Angeles, you're in Florida,
00:22:29.760
don't you feel this—when you're dealing with some of these people,
00:22:34.820
I mean, I get this attitude from frickin' millennials.
00:22:38.000
I got an attitude from a millennial earlier today who, you know,
00:22:41.900
was not even born when I was an actual active conservative.
00:22:46.300
And I'm getting conservative lessons from Punky Brewster.
00:22:56.020
But you and I now, and I hate to say this this way because it sounds a little bit—
00:23:02.220
but you and I are more famous than most of them now.
00:23:04.980
We make better money than most of them now doing what we do.
00:23:07.920
They can't handle this because we were never supposed—
00:23:20.160
And most of them, you know, did their four-year degree,
00:23:38.540
There are a couple of particularly insufferable Never Trumpers
00:23:45.620
One in particular who's threatened me, threatened me.
00:23:49.580
He's a great investigative journalist, and he's going to expose me.
00:24:08.440
I get so—I mean, I get so much grief about how I'm immoral and terrible.
00:24:12.120
And all I'm thinking is, I'm getting a lot of attitudes by people I didn't see,
00:24:15.960
you know, over in Kosovo when I was, you know, serving our country,
00:24:20.840
I mean, a lot of attitude about people telling me what my morals are
00:24:24.180
when I'm out there doing it, and they're here tweeting it.
00:24:28.360
Hey, Kurt, let's switch gears and talk a little bit about fake news.
00:24:30.620
Now, a friend of both of ours, Ryan Saavedra, he writes for Daily Wire,
00:24:35.900
He put out a tweet a little while ago, actually, as we've been chatting here.
00:24:45.260
NBC News falsely reported Trump's lawyer was wiretapped.
00:24:48.540
CNN falsely reported Trump's son colluded with WikiLeaks.
00:24:51.600
ABC News falsely reported Trump told Flynn to meet with Russians during the campaign.
00:24:55.960
Bloomberg falsely reported Mueller issued subpoena targeting Trump allies.
00:25:02.840
And today, around 2 p.m. Eastern, 2.30 Eastern,
00:25:05.500
I watched Sarah Huckabee Sanders' White House press briefing live.
00:25:09.920
The questions she was being asked illustrated, perfectly highlighted,
00:25:23.040
These guys, you know, they want the honor and recognition
00:25:27.280
that comes from an accomplished priestly class of neutral truth-tellers.
00:25:33.900
They want that kind of honor and reverence that would maybe be appropriate
00:25:37.800
for professional truth-tellers who dug in and didn't care whose toes they stepped on,
00:25:42.860
except they don't want to actually do the hard work, confident or neutral.
00:25:47.380
They want the respect, but they don't want to actually do the hard stuff,
00:25:53.380
which means saying things that maybe are going to hurt your political allies,
00:26:06.720
And if the, you know, I had a reporter, I was talking to somebody today,
00:26:10.220
the Broward County Schools Chief still can't tell anybody where $800 million
00:26:17.180
$100 million was supposed to go to schools like Stoneman Douglas for security.
00:26:20.740
When I called that guy out, he blocked me on Twitter.
00:26:24.120
why aren't you hot on the trail of this $800 million?
00:26:33.620
If I were to go after a black Democrat who was friends with Obama and Arnie Duncan,
00:26:59.160
Well, I'll be driving home in my fine, fine automobile.
00:27:02.900
And we'll just start laughing about these clowns.
00:27:06.360
Because it's so much of their self-image to be our superiors.
00:27:14.200
And we've literally taken sledgehammers to their veneers of austerity on social media.
00:27:22.080
Because they're so used to being considered intellectual giants and thought leaders.
00:27:27.260
Meanwhile, Kanye West has done more to advance the national dialogue in two weeks than these
00:27:35.200
And, you know, Kanye West is not even a conservative.
00:27:56.260
I might have to do Conway Twitty for Halloween one year.
00:28:07.540
And you can catch Kurt's show here on The Rebel.
00:28:14.300
You guys, if you haven't checked it out, check it out.
00:28:18.840
Sometimes a story comes along in a sea of really negative news that makes me really, really happy.
00:28:36.340
And so was the case when my good friend and our fellow rebel, Amanda Head, sent me a story how California Governor Jerry Brown's home, well, it had been, I don't know, occupied by a dreamer.
00:28:52.360
Someone who wanted to do the jobs Americans just don't want to do.
00:28:56.860
Amanda, tell us about this, I don't know, let's call it a glorious event.
00:29:03.100
You know how the immigration activists tell us these migrants, this migrant caravan lining up on the border is a quote unquote beautiful sight.
00:29:11.060
Tell us about this beautiful act of love that happened in Governor Jerry Brown's house.
00:29:16.600
So, you know, we as conservatives, especially when we're talking to people in the context of illegal immigration and open borders, a lot of us oftentimes use the analogy of, well, you know, you wouldn't leave your car unlocked or your house unlocked.
00:29:33.400
So a lot of us use that analogy when talking to people about the preposterous nature of just allowing illegals to flood over the border.
00:29:42.020
Well, what happened here in California last week is, I mean, it just completely plays into our hand because a homeless guy, his name is Stephen Seeley.
00:29:53.080
He's 51 years old, made his way into Governor Jerry Brown's home because, as he said.
00:30:00.760
Amanda, can you do me a favor on my show and use the proper terms?
00:30:04.920
You're talking about an unresidented citizen, correct?
00:30:08.320
It actually doesn't talk about his immigration status.
00:30:11.300
No, no, no, not immigration, an unresidented citizen.
00:30:28.980
It's probably, what is that stuff that that rapper used to drink?
00:30:41.980
Yeah, NyQuil, Codeine and a little Kool-Aid or something.
00:30:44.480
So I'm sure this guy doesn't have a prescription for coding, so it's probably NyQuil.
00:30:50.080
He's 51 years old, and he broke into the governor's mansion because, as he said,
00:30:55.620
Governor Jerry Brown seems like an open-door kind of guy.
00:31:02.980
Jerry Brown, I would guess, gave him free health care, gave him a benefits check.
00:31:09.460
If he wanted to go back to school, gave him free tuition and a place to stay.
00:31:11.840
And I was thinking about this yesterday, and I'm like,
00:31:14.200
this actually, I mean, this, I love it, but it puts Jerry Brown in a really uncomfortable situation
00:31:20.200
He can either, you know, continue on with this ridiculous narrative that he has that
00:31:26.400
California is open arms and open borders and open everything, and he can say,
00:31:31.300
okay, well, I'm going to pay for this guy to get an apartment.
00:31:35.500
But then how many people are going to come after that and say, okay, I want one too.
00:31:40.740
Or does he fess up to the fact that keeping locks on our doors and security at our border
00:31:50.440
Now, here in California, our immigration issues, you know, are off the charts.
00:31:55.720
We've got, I think, the latest I heard, 2.9 million illegal immigrants.
00:32:00.540
It costs us over $10 billion a year, and yet Jerry Brown is still in love with the idea
00:32:07.280
of allowing our borders to just be flooded across.
00:32:10.580
Now, John, you know about 50% of federal sentences, federal crimes take place on or
00:32:19.500
The wall is an issue, considering 50% of those crimes could be shut down or come close
00:32:29.380
But Jerry Brown, of course, is not in favor of that.
00:32:31.340
But then on top of that, we've got, what is it called?
00:32:37.360
Our state senator, Ricardo Lara, introduced legislation a couple weeks ago that would allow
00:32:43.000
illegal immigrants in the state of California to serve on state and local boards.
00:32:49.380
And that state legislator's first name is Retardo?
00:32:59.020
Ricardo, sorry, sorry, Ms. Herdian, my earbud, yeah.
00:33:01.980
Not only wants illegals to be able to come into our state, soak up our resources, but
00:33:06.920
now he also wants them to actually influence policy.
00:33:10.920
Look, these are all the people who are funded by La Raza via, you know, funded by George
00:33:18.040
Via groups like La Raza, Pueblos Infanteras, all of these illegal immigrant groups.
00:33:22.160
You know, Amanda, yesterday I was talking to somebody and I posited that we should be
00:33:26.940
charging the people who run La Raza, the people who run Pueblos Infanteras, especially
00:33:31.920
that guy, forget his name, the one who essentially, you know, acted like the band leader and marched
00:33:36.780
that illegal alien caravan up to the U.S., we should be charging them with federal criminal
00:33:42.220
They should be charged, under the RICO statute, every bit as much as a drug lord, every bit
00:33:48.660
They are engaging in wholesale organized criminal activity when it comes to violating our immigration
00:33:55.100
And I'm not buying this narrative of, you know, that these people who are coming in this
00:34:04.940
Come into a country looking broken, weak and scared.
00:34:08.260
They don't come here with picket signs demanding that we cater to their safety.
00:34:14.260
I mean, first of all, this bar for asylum is way too low.
00:34:19.840
The way it exists now is essentially if you come from a whole nation, our immigration officials
00:34:32.520
But you know what bothers me when Americans 200 and some odd years ago decided that they
00:34:45.240
What is wrong with these people in their countries?
00:34:50.080
And I think that's really what strikes at the heart of Americans.
00:34:52.880
I mean, even in the Civil War, the South, your hometown, the Confederacy felt this is our
00:35:05.120
But it was really about heritage, fighting for a way of life, fighting for heritage.
00:35:09.460
What is wrong with these people where they flee their country, abandon it, and then expect
00:35:24.660
Democrats were so just utterly appalled and incredulous when Donald Trump called Haiti an
00:35:32.240
And now they're talking about how conditions are so bad in the countries where these people
00:35:35.860
are coming from because they are s-holes, right?
00:35:39.440
Listen, a good friend of mine does a lot of business in Haiti, a guy down here in South
00:35:43.920
He deals with Haitian officials, Haitian military.
00:35:47.360
Do you know they were cheering what Donald Trump said down there?
00:35:50.100
They said, finally, the world might pay attention.
00:36:01.760
One of my old roommates when I lived in West Hollywood is Haitian-American.
00:36:08.400
And she is like one of the staunchest Donald Trump supporters ever since that statement.
00:36:12.500
You know that Haitians in South Florida, Miami-Dade in particular, voted for Donald Trump, I think
00:36:17.720
it was at a rate 38% higher than they did for Barack Obama.
00:36:22.580
They were one of the reasons why Donald Trump ultimately won the state of Florida.
00:36:27.820
That's what happens when you have someone who speaks the truth about things instead of glazing
00:36:35.420
So how is this situation in Jerry Brown's house adjudicating?
00:36:42.500
I think he was charged with, let's see, I think he was just charged with trespassing.
00:36:48.580
I think they had a little bit of sympathy for him because he claimed that he saw wild
00:36:54.560
animals, lions and cougars on the streets of Sacramento.
00:36:59.000
And so he walked or he broke into the home of Jerry Brown to alert his security detail
00:37:08.780
You know what would be even funnier about this story is that if he actually did see lions
00:37:12.280
and cougars and nobody believed them on the streets of Sacramento, the poor guy, and he
00:37:16.200
was really warning the governor and everybody just thought he was some crazy dude, they locked
00:37:22.820
If they found out after the fact that some animal sanctuary or something had.
00:37:28.160
And like 14 people were then mauled by lions and cougars and nobody listened to this poor
00:37:31.820
guy because they were just worried about locking him up.
00:37:34.120
I didn't care if people were mauled by lions and tigers and bears, am I?
00:37:40.240
Women are now coming out of the woodwork claiming that Tom Brokaw was a serial sexual
00:37:49.000
And now we're seeing stories that there were like these cabals within NBC forcing women
00:37:54.440
to sign letters in support of Tom Brokaw up until like 25 minutes ago.
00:38:01.440
So the first two allegations, these two women joined forces and published an article, I think
00:38:07.080
in the New York Times a couple of weeks ago, saying that they had been victims of unwanted
00:38:15.000
Now, this happened allegedly, I think, in 1992.
00:38:20.360
But a third woman has come out with allegations similar to the nature of the first two from
00:38:38.200
Yeah, this is a guy who said that liberal bias is an obligation of the media.
00:38:42.860
But, Alec, really, like, is there no statute of limitations on this type of stuff?
00:38:49.620
Like, you can just come out and basically say anything.
00:38:51.580
Well, there is, right, in terms of litigation and criminal charges, certainly.
00:39:00.560
I mean, you and I are barometers of that right now.
00:39:06.240
But no, I'm not going to give a half a century old allegation on this guy any credence whatsoever.
00:39:11.560
No, and, you know, these, I think it was 60 women who came together and signed a letter basically defending his honor.
00:39:26.160
But when you read the allegations against Brokaw, one woman said that he came up behind her and tickled her.
00:39:33.420
Now, in one context, that could be really creepy.
00:39:40.940
You know, this is somebody you work with every day and you have a friendly rapport and a friendly banter and it's a little frenetic in the newsroom.
00:39:46.880
And you come up behind them and you're like, hey, how you doing?
00:39:48.660
And you run your, I mean, maybe it's inappropriate.
00:39:50.740
But does that rise to the level of sexual harassment that should cost somebody their job or jail time?
00:39:57.180
No, even in the context of it being creepy and inappropriate.
00:40:01.380
And this is something that Matt Damon got almost excommunicated from Hollywood for when he said that there are degrees of this type of stuff.
00:40:09.100
Let me just say, as a woman, if a drunk guy at an office party or a bar, a bar, someone I don't know, if a drunk guy walks up to me and squeezes my waist or slaps my butt or something like that, yeah, it's gross and it's weird and I would probably throw my drink at him.
00:40:26.680
But the emotional repercussions that I would suffer from that are almost nonexistent compared to the emotional repercussions that I would suffer from something like sexual assault or rape.
00:40:37.300
So bringing up these tiny instances of, you know, someone tickling you, that muddies the water of people who have legitimate concerns and complaints.
00:40:50.420
I've always said that people who cry wolf do a real disservice to true victims.
00:40:55.260
Number one, they desensitize the public to it with these frivolous allegations, if they're frivolous.
00:41:00.900
Number two, they tie up law enforcement and criminal justice system resources when they can be deployed, when they could otherwise be deployed to go after the real bad guys.
00:41:16.340
It could have been construed in many, many ways.
00:41:18.480
What's one person's inappropriate is another's, hey, that's my buddy, you know, joking around with me.
00:41:23.320
And then a 50-year-old allegation, that shouldn't even be factored in to the totality of the circumstances.
00:41:29.960
It shouldn't. And honestly, tickling, like, I'd be more pissed off if somebody walked by me and crop-dusted me.
00:41:36.660
Yeah. I was actually ready to file a complaint against you when you didn't order a second round of shots last time we were in D.C.
00:41:44.680
Maybe you did, and I just forgot because I had two rounds prior.
00:41:46.820
Maybe I didn't order the second round, but I probably ordered the fifth and sixth round.
00:41:50.500
Yeah, that's pretty true. I think you did that.
00:41:52.500
But no, seriously, I don't like these frivolous allegations.
00:41:55.700
Now, look, when we hear about what Matt Lauer did, that's a little different.
00:41:59.120
That's like trapping someone in his office with a hidden buzzer.
00:42:07.360
Harvey Weinstein should be spending the rest of his life in a jail cell.
00:42:11.180
Roy Polanski should be in a jail cell for the rest of his life.
00:42:14.240
But I don't know, tickling somebody outside the clothing.
00:42:17.560
Maybe they, you know, we don't know if she was flirting with him.
00:42:20.180
We don't know if they had a flirtation going on.
00:42:23.760
But, man, to come forward 26 years later, somebody else 50 years later, and no one's
00:42:29.280
really alleging, unless I've missed something, Amanda, no one's really alleging anything from
00:42:36.560
And, you know, it's almost a symptom of our culture in general, this conflation of, you
00:42:46.160
We saw it throughout the 2016 election season with the term racism.
00:42:50.600
People would call someone a racist for something completely innocuous.
00:42:54.540
And now, as a result, when you call someone a racist, it really doesn't even hurt because
00:42:58.960
it's like, wow, that's just that's that's the argument that you resort to when you don't
00:43:05.000
So it's true, though, isn't it that everybody's a racist, a xenophobe.
00:43:08.700
So I guess this makes Jerry Brown a xenophobe, right?
00:43:10.640
Because he's not homeless and he doesn't understand them.
00:43:12.340
I guess his filing charges on the Stephen guy makes him a xenophobe.
00:43:28.460
Yeah, because there's no there's no degree of difference between any of those things.
00:43:38.440
They're not the Scouts BSA, the Transgender Scouts of America.
00:43:48.100
Isn't this supremely offensive to the Girl Scouts of America?
00:43:58.620
My brother was a Boy Scout and he became an Eagle Scout.
00:44:02.900
Two of my girlfriends from Auburn live in Orange County.
00:44:05.700
And I actually saw this coming because one of them, her boys are in Boy Scouts in Orange
00:44:12.040
She's a Democrat running for state assembly that demanded that the boy that hurt that
00:44:16.480
my friend's son's Boy Scout troop allow her daughter to be a part of it.
00:44:20.820
So I actually saw this coming six months ago when that happened.
00:44:24.040
And there is something there's something so healthy and and enriching about young boys hanging
00:44:42.080
And even in Girl Scouts, we did we did similar things.
00:44:45.500
And when you take that away and when you when you smash everyone together and, you know,
00:44:50.340
what are you going to do when you go off to to 4-H camp together?
00:44:57.920
You're more are you more offended at this or would you be more offended if I bought you
00:45:04.720
Now, listen, this is this is all about destroying traditionalism.
00:45:10.100
This is all about eradicating traditional gender roles.
00:45:13.500
But really, the most sinister part of this agenda is about telling little boys, you're
00:45:26.360
You're probably a racist and a xenophobe as well.
00:45:32.580
Therefore, we need to completely emasculate you and bring you down to the same level as
00:45:44.380
Liberals despise the one percent unless it's the one percent of society that doesn't know
00:45:50.180
Then that one percent is to be celebrated and everything is supposed to be done for them.
00:45:55.660
Yeah, you're ruining, I don't know how, I think the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, I think they were
00:46:14.220
And Girl Scouts, I should know this because I went to Savannah, Georgia, which is where the
00:46:25.540
But the reason I'm so fired up about this, it's not specifically this issue.
00:46:30.040
It's the fact that the left can't freaking leave anything alone.
00:46:39.620
Let's tear down the most basic cultural institutions.
00:46:43.400
Let's strike at the heart of Americanism, traditionalism, Judeo-Christian values.
00:46:51.500
And what better way to chip away at it than starting with the kids and their organizations?
00:46:56.160
Well, I just hope that the free market prevails here and that someone comes up with some type
00:47:00.160
of new organization that has two genders who are separate and that it thrives.
00:47:07.240
Amanda Head, the Hollywood Conservative, our fellow and most favorite new rebel.
00:47:14.880
Illegal immigration is up 233% on the southern border.
00:47:31.760
Now, of course, the left is saying, oh, Donald Trump was a blowhard.
00:47:43.040
This is not me being an apologist for the president.
00:47:50.360
Now, 75% of those apprehended get catch and release.
00:47:55.540
And because liberal judges keep striking down tough immigration provisions, well, the smugglers
00:48:02.800
and the illegals who want to come here know the game.
00:48:06.460
Last year, nearly 39,000, this is from a Washington Times story, nearly 39,000 illegal immigrants
00:48:14.860
Last month, the story was written yesterday, May 3rd, so nearly 39,000 were grabbed by the
00:48:21.700
Border Patrol last month, according to preliminary numbers.
00:48:24.760
That's a 233% increase over April of 2017, the biggest year-over-year increase dating back
00:48:36.140
Now, experts have said the increase is being driven by lax U.S. policies.
00:48:43.160
And illegal immigrants have figured out ways to exploit them.
00:48:47.400
So with catch and release, now think about this, about 30,000 of the 39,000 nabbed last
00:49:01.260
Now, Brandon Judd, president of the National Border Patrol Council, the Border Patrol Agents
00:49:09.000
If you can cross the border illegally without any consequence, why not?
00:49:14.600
As long as the catch and release program policy exists, large numbers of people are going to
00:49:20.980
And he estimated, Mr. Judd estimated, that nearly 30,000 of the 39,000 nabbed in April are
00:49:29.280
Now, he went on to say, in, quote, in 2017, and due to the rhetoric, we had fewer apprehensions
00:49:39.420
It was simply because people believed that if they crossed the border illegally, they would
00:49:51.920
They believed that Trump was going to pass his agenda.
00:49:54.020
They believed that people were going to that were nabbed crossing the border illegally were
00:50:01.120
But after a year of liberals blocking the president's agenda, Judd, president of the National Border
00:50:07.940
Patrol Council, said, quote, smugglers, quick smugglers quickly realized everything was status
00:50:13.880
And they're once again recruiting people to enter our country illegally.
00:50:17.920
Now, administration officials have acknowledged that they say they've ended administrative catch
00:50:22.600
and release, which means they no longer have an official policy calling for some classes
00:50:27.140
of illegal aliens to be released automatically.
00:50:35.360
Congress, the neocons, the Democrats, they're still blocking the agenda.
00:50:42.200
Vice President Mike Pence visited the border and he said Congress needs to step up and address
00:50:47.920
Vice President Pence said, quote, whether it be the catch and release program or asylum
00:50:52.320
policies that don't require people to stay in the first safe country in which they arrive,
00:50:56.840
meaning Mexico, we're calling on Congress to work with us to bring about change.
00:51:06.980
Now, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said, quote, if you have an alarm in your home
00:51:11.220
and you catch a burglar and you call the police and the police come, and in fact, it is an
00:51:17.180
But the police then tell you that they have absolutely no ability to detain or remove those
00:51:21.920
criminals and the criminals stay in your house.
00:51:27.540
And she goes on to tell Congress, we, meaning the Department of Homeland Security, we stop
00:51:31.720
people, we interdict them, but we do not have the authority given the loopholes in many
00:51:40.400
We are forced to release them back into the communities after they have committed crimes.
00:51:46.940
Not Republicans, well, it's not conservatives who want that.
00:52:00.360
Murkowski, look, we know the Democrats want this.
00:52:06.860
It's the traitors within the Republican and conservative movement.
00:52:13.620
And they go out there in the media, guys like Jeff Flake, an Arizona senator on the Arizona
00:52:18.660
border, telling the world I'm blocking Trump's agenda.
00:52:24.340
And he opens up Arizona's borders for illegal aliens.
00:52:31.660
Look, the photo on this article should infuriate you.
00:52:35.480
It's the Central American migrants sitting on the border fence that they easily climbed,
00:52:41.180
waving flags and signs, mocking the United States and mocking Donald Trump.
00:52:46.920
And we're supposed to let these people into our nation and greet them with open arms.
00:52:51.520
And then you've got moron liberals who volunteer with groups like La Raza and Pueblo Sin Fronteras
00:52:56.580
who call it a beautiful sight, an act of love, an amazing thing.
00:53:07.120
Did France and Holland think the Nazis goose-stepping through their territory was a beautiful sight?
00:53:16.220
We're being invaded by MS-13 gang members, narco-terrorists, Sinaloa cartel traffickers.
00:53:26.540
It's the same narrative when it tells, oh, the Syrian migrants are women and children.
00:53:41.780
They will not stop until they flood this nation, until they make it less safe,
00:53:45.520
and until they get these people registered to vote.
00:54:02.260
All it's ever been about is all it ever will be about.
00:54:06.280
If we don't get serious, if we don't get serious, if we don't elect more hardcore conservatives
00:54:11.940
in the midterms, in the midterms, this November, if we don't pick up seats in the House, pick
00:54:16.720
up seats in the Senate, get our supermajority with real conservatives, not like Kurt Schlichter
00:54:21.840
and I called them Fredo Khans, Rhinos, Neocons, the fake conservatives.
00:54:25.800
If you don't understand why we would say Fredo Khan, Fredo Corleone, the brother and the
00:54:29.800
godfather who was a traitor, Fredo Khans, if we don't get serious and eliminate all of
00:54:35.300
these spineless Republicans, man, this country is in very, very big trouble.
