Transcript
00:00:05.620
My weekend was great, Glenn, thank you for asking.
00:00:12.880
My house, my yard, my garage, uh, everything in the house, because we have company.
00:00:27.500
Well, your family, of course, expects everything to be in perfect order.
00:00:35.820
So, uh, so Tanya, I, and this is what I was afraid of.
00:00:47.080
Well, she knows that the party is happening on Friday.
00:01:00.380
You did mention it at one point during the show.
00:01:02.220
And I was like, I don't think he's supposed to say that.
00:01:17.380
Anyway, uh, I've been throwing this, you know, kind of a surprise party.
00:01:22.840
It started out as a surprise party, but my wife is impossible to keep secrets from.
00:01:31.520
I mean, I have done a pretty good job on the, on the hookers.
00:01:41.380
I heard a lot of talk this weekend of people saying, did you see the, did you see the Mar-a-Lago affidavit?
00:02:05.180
And they said, yeah, it was mainly, you know, it was all just black bars.
00:02:08.400
And I'm like, yeah, no, I, that I've, I saw that.
00:02:16.660
The department of justice has, um, redacted the reason for redacting the affidavit.
00:02:29.880
The only thing they said that wasn't redacted there was agent safety.
00:02:35.040
Every other, you know, agent safety, that's because the violent extremists on the right.
00:02:42.220
So agent safety was not redacted, but every other reason for redacting was redacted.
00:02:52.040
So we have absolutely no, no idea what's in it, but also no idea why we can't see things.
00:03:01.700
And we also now don't know the reason why we don't know what's in it.
00:03:12.180
By the way, um, the New York times now demands criminal prosecution of Donald Trump.
00:03:18.820
Do we, are we supposed to care about what the New York times demands?
00:03:27.160
Uh, this one is from, I think it's YouTube, uh, not YouTube, uh, Yahoo.
00:03:35.440
There is a little left for the justice department do, uh, but to decide whether to wait until
00:03:41.660
after the midterms to formally seek the indictment of a grand jury for Donald Trump.
00:03:51.880
I, I heard, I heard someone talking about this whole scandal earlier today and the, the phrase
00:03:58.300
And I mean, I mean this sincerely, the phrase they used that what they were going to charge
00:04:06.700
I, does anyone think this is going to have an impact?
00:04:12.220
That is, that is a death penalty sentence right there.
00:04:17.840
About like a guy getting access to documents he's not supposed to have access to, right?
00:04:25.500
These are documents the man saw with his eyes while he was president of the United States.
00:04:32.220
So the issue here is he should have put it in a better closet.
00:04:38.180
He should have let it be stored at the archives.
00:04:42.460
This is what's going to take down Donald Trump.
00:04:44.680
The guy who survived all of these other things.
00:04:59.520
The difference is, is that Al Capone actually was killing people.
00:05:15.140
No one actually cares if, if Donald Trump has these documents.
00:05:18.600
I know, I know that's a controversial thing to say, but give me a second.
00:05:22.280
Maybe for the media, but no one actually cares.
00:05:25.120
The man, literally, we are supposed to believe, saw them, and that's why he has them.
00:05:39.000
One of the few things we know about these documents is they were put in between, like,
00:05:44.600
And you could say, well, that's, so let's start at the bottom.
00:05:50.480
Because what we're talking about here is not whether these documents affected the national
00:05:55.540
It's just a matter of how it affects Donald Trump's future politics.
00:05:59.580
It has nothing to do with whether he actually committed a crime or not.
00:06:08.820
he shouldn't have had the documents and had them, right?
00:06:11.440
He would, let's say he was reckless with the documents.
00:06:15.520
Like, what would be, like, laying them out, putting them on the menu at Mar-a-Lago.
00:06:20.860
Like, let's say you're at Mar-a-Lago, your kid's ordering a grilled cheese, he flips
00:06:30.140
Or I could get the, the ground beef, the sirloin, or the nuclear secrets.
00:06:37.920
So if, does any technically be selling them, Stu?
00:06:41.300
If it's just a process argument about documents, there is no impact to our politics, right?
00:06:46.780
The fact that he should have, let's just say, let's take the worst case, he should have gone
00:06:52.080
through some other process of declassification or whatever.
00:06:58.220
It's not, it's not going to impact our politics.
00:07:01.820
Let's say, like, he legitimately put them in some closet and did not lock the door, which
00:07:08.760
No, they came down and asked him to put a lock on, and he did.
00:07:20.020
This is the president of the United States House.
00:07:23.080
They act as if people could walk into any closet and start stealing boxes.
00:07:31.080
While you might say, hey, they should be in a highly classified environment.
00:07:39.200
No, no, let me give you the last two scenarios.
00:07:41.880
Okay, so this one, I would say, let's just say he handled them recklessly.
00:07:44.700
I think in our politics, that could escalate to the point of, like, the Hillary Clinton
00:07:49.540
scandal, where the people on one side of the argument think it's the worst thing in the
00:07:57.960
The only thing that actually would make any difference with the story was if you had
00:08:03.340
evidence, evidence, of Donald Trump using these documents for his own personal benefit,
00:08:10.800
i.e. he was selling them to get golf events at his country clubs, which was actually tossed
00:08:16.820
Wait, you could have, if Donald Trump, and this could happen, okay?
00:08:21.380
I didn't with Donald Trump, but it could happen, okay?
00:08:24.140
In theory, if Donald Trump said to somebody else in the White House, I want you to go
00:08:30.440
into the skiff, I want you to take pictures of those documents, then cut the top of them
00:08:39.940
off so it doesn't say classified or top secret, and then email them to my home, that would be
00:08:48.400
Right, and of course, would be much, much, much, much more risky than having them in a closet.
00:08:54.560
Anything online, anywhere, would be more risky than having it in Donald Trump's closet,
00:09:03.460
But if you had evidence that, like, let's say he was taking documents that were central
00:09:09.800
to American security, that he was going to use to, in a political ad three weeks later,
00:09:15.360
that he didn't declass, I don't know what the scenario would be, but if you found something
00:09:18.660
like that and had real evidence of it, maybe that would move the needle.
00:09:27.580
And I swear the left just wants to talk about Donald Trump because they think that's going
00:09:36.060
They want to make it about them versus Donald Trump again.
00:09:38.100
They remember the good old days back when they were winning midterm elections in 2018.
00:09:43.040
They remember the good old days when CNN had more than eight people watching it.
00:09:46.220
They remember all of these wonderful dreams, so they want to talk about it constantly.
00:09:54.880
He didn't go into a bank vault and steal documents he wasn't allowed to see.
00:10:16.780
Apparently, a Ukrainian truck driver's daughter named Ina Yakachevin.
00:10:30.900
Who allegedly posed as a Rothschild heiress to gain access to Mar-a-Lago
00:10:41.260
is being accused now of the FBI of having ties to Russian organized crime.
00:10:53.380
the FBI said she was making trips to Mar-a-Lago
00:11:04.200
which actually was a front for organized crime in Russia.
00:11:10.780
So, Donald Trump was writing checks to organize crime in Russia.
00:11:36.200
that could have been masquerading as a Rothschild
00:12:08.060
you've met him a couple of times, I think, on the program,
00:12:27.040
and he was involved in stopping human trafficking
00:13:16.820
who broke through a door by God's divine appointment.
00:13:25.960
we've been in this hellacious fight against evil.
00:13:33.440
it is, what's happening in our schools right now
00:13:41.000
there are no lines beyond minor attracted adults.
00:14:30.140
but it is also most likely happening all over the country
00:14:55.560
And every year, they review one of these pillars.
