The Great America Show - MERRICK GARLAND IS TO THE DOJ WHAT JOE BIDEN IS TO THE PRESIDENCY AND WHITE HOUSE, JUST A FIGUREHEAD BEING TOLD WHAT TO DO, SAYS JULIE KELLY

00:00:00.000 Hello everybody and welcome to the Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs and delighted to have you with

00:00:05.380 us as we all fight to preserve truth, justice, and the American way. And as usual we have a lot

00:00:12.740 to take up here. Let's start with another top secret document scandal, but this time not

00:00:18.940 involving presidents or vice presidents or at least not as far as we know now, but as they say

00:00:24.760 stay tuned. Here's what we do know about a hundred top secret documents, apparently all of them

00:00:31.160 originating from the Pentagon, U.S. intel documents on everything from Ukrainian air defense emplacements

00:00:38.220 to assessments of Russian and Chinese Mideast geopolitical policies. Or as the Biden regime

00:00:45.360 often claims, it's just all Russian disinformation. Vice President Kamala Harris going to Nashville,

00:00:52.700 Tennessee. They're to meet with Democrat lawmakers, two of whom are black and who were expelled from

00:00:59.620 the GOP-led General Assembly because they led a demonstration on the assembly floor against gun

00:01:06.800 rights. Tensions rising in Nashville and you just know with Obama also tweeting and Harris actually

00:01:14.180 on the road, the Marxist Dems are planning something. The Biden regime has no plans to do anything about

00:01:21.220 the J-6 defendants, still held prisoner in the D.C. Gulag. Some of them have been there as we know for

00:01:27.740 more than two years and still no trial. Prosecuted by mad Marxists and the Merrick Garland DOJ

00:01:34.900 and soon to be sentenced by corrupt D.C. district court judges who've managed to preside over almost 70

00:01:42.060 convictions and only one exoneration in the Stalinist Jan 6 scandal, which will be a stain on the Marxist

00:01:50.100 Dem party for all time. The plight of the hundreds of J-6 political prisoners, the heartless, vicious 1.00

00:01:56.900 Marxist Dems prosecutors, judges, and jailers would never have had the public's attention without the

00:02:03.660 superb reporting of journalist Julie Kelly. She's our guest here today. She's senior writer for

00:02:09.520 AmericanGreatness.com. She authored the terrific book, January 6, How Democrats Use the Capitol

00:02:16.520 Protest to Launch a War on Terror Against the Political Right. Julie, delighted to have you back

00:02:23.380 with us here on The Great America Show. Thanks for joining us. Overseeing the viciousness of the

00:02:29.360 Marxist-left prosecution of these political prisoners held in the disgusting and often brutal conditions

00:02:35.180 is none other than Attorney General Merrick Garland. Your thoughts, Julie? Well, look, Merrick Garland

00:02:43.300 is to the Department of Justice what Joe Biden is to the presidency and the White House, just merely a

00:02:50.700 figurehead being told what to do. I think the idea was to give the DOJ some sort of grandfatherly look,

00:02:58.240 this wise old man who was supposed to be on the Supreme Court, a thoughtful, careful,

00:03:03.800 objective, you know, lawman. But look, he's really none of those things. He never has a straight answer

00:03:14.800 for anything. He constantly gets his facts wrong. I think he was just caught up either today or earlier

00:03:21.180 this week when he was pressed about the threat tag that was applied to parents protesting at school

00:03:28.200 boards. He never could get a straight answer or timeline about that. And then today he was asked

00:03:35.600 by Representative Andrew Clyde directly about the incarceration, indefinite incarceration in lieu

00:03:43.920 of American citizens who have been arrested and charged for their involvement in January 6th,

00:03:49.740 some of whom have been in jail for over two years, denied bail at Merrick Garland's prosecutor's request

00:03:59.060 as the same Department of Justice plays every trick in the book to delay those trials. When he was asked

00:04:06.600 about how people can be in jail for more than two years without a trial, innocent men not convicted of

00:04:12.980 anything, he had no idea what Andrew Clyde was talking about. And he spewed some nonsense about Sixth Amendment

00:04:20.740 rights and their speedy trial rights. And if those rights are being denied, the defense attorneys have, you

00:04:26.940 know, ways that they can speed the trial along or the clock anyway. And ultimately, it's up to the judge, which is

00:04:33.980 of course true. But these are his prosecutors going to the court system repeatedly, at least a hundred

00:04:42.240 times, Lou, seeking pretrial detention, even for nonviolent offenders. And Merrick Garland, once again,

00:04:49.520 could not answer because he's not running the show. The people running the show are Deputy Attorney General

00:04:54.040 Lisa Monaco, a longtime Obama loyalist, and Matthew Graves, who is the United States Attorney for the

00:05:01.160 District of Columbia. That's the office handling every single January 6th case.

00:05:06.940 Unbelievable. Garland is, you say, clueless. He is a figurehead. But he seems to me, Julie, frankly, to be far

00:05:18.400 more than that. He seems unquestionably to be mendacious, banal. And he consciously, it appears to me,

00:05:29.820 is lying. I can't imagine being unaware of those circumstances if he, unless he doesn't read the

00:05:37.680 Washington Post or watch his favorite left-wing newscast. Can you?

00:05:45.800 I actually can, honestly believe. I agree with you. I think he's a malicious man. I think he's a petty

00:05:52.120 man, much like Joe Biden. I think he doesn't care about the rights of these defendants simply because

00:05:59.520 they are American citizens who protested Joe Biden's election. But the fact that he was not

00:06:06.540 prepped for this or had any kind of good answer and stumbled around Sixth Amendment mumbo-jumbo,

00:06:15.580 you know, but honestly, Lou, Congress has let Merrick Garland get away with this for two years.

00:06:21.140 As soon as the Department of Justice started taking pretrial detention, denying bail for even

00:06:27.620 nonviolent offenders, they should have heard from Republicans in Congress denouncing this as cruel and

00:06:34.420 unusual punishment, violating their Fourth Amendment, Sixth Amendment rights. You know, a lot of these

00:06:40.660 dozens of them were held in this fetid, abusive D.C. gulag, held in solitary confinement conditions for

00:06:49.160 months on end, and no one said anything except a handful of House members like Marjorie Taylor

00:06:55.180 Green and Louie Gohmert and Paul Gosar. But otherwise, there was complete silence. And so,

00:07:02.780 you know, there's plenty of blame to be placed. Merrick Garland is not one of them. It's Lisa

00:07:09.760 Monaco and Matthew Graves, his prosecutors, and also every single judge on the D.C. District Court.

00:07:14.940 Every single one, I believe, has signed off on pretrial detention orders, whether it's someone

00:07:20.320 charged with conspiracy, obstruction of an efficient proceeding, assaulting police officers. Look,

00:07:26.680 if you assaulted police officers who weren't assaulting you, by the way, which was happening

00:07:30.940 at many different vantage points on January 6th, of course, we want the rule of law. We want law

00:07:39.440 enforcement respected, and we want those people held accountable. But someone accused of pepper

00:07:46.100 spraying a police officer does not warrant staying in jail for two-plus years as you're awaiting trial.

00:07:52.580 What they're trying to do is torment these men into plea deals, which they're not taking.

00:07:57.000 Then they're going back to the court. They're adding charges. They're adding defendants.

00:08:01.100 They're saying they haven't fulfilled their discovery obligations, which is a whole other,

00:08:05.220 you know, scandal in and of itself. But the Department of Justice runs the D.C. courthouse.

00:08:12.480 Those judges are nothing more than a rubber stamp. So, of course, they're in cahoots to deny

00:08:17.620 the due process rights of these American citizens simply because they protested Joe Biden's rigged

00:08:24.060 election on January 6th.

00:08:25.500 There is nothing approaching speedy justice in this entire tragedy. And what I guess I'm asking you is,

00:08:37.560 why have we not been able to come up with a solution? Why has not the Republican Party,

00:08:42.820 veterans associations, whatever it takes, why in the hell haven't we been able to come up with some way

00:08:50.100 to mitigate the awful, evil harm that has been done to hundreds of our fellow citizens by this

00:08:59.360 warped, perverted, and sadistic group of judges and federal prosecutors?

00:09:05.880 Yes. So, sadistic is the word I use a lot. After more than two years of covering the hearings,

00:09:12.960 the initial hearings, whether they were just arraignments or pretrial detention hearings,

00:09:17.800 then morphing into plea hearings and now trials, I can tell you these prosecutors and judges,

00:09:24.020 they are really gratified by inflicting pain on these people. They think that they are better

00:09:30.120 than these people. They consider them really deplorables. You know, I've listened to the chief

00:09:36.200 judge say to one man, you drove here all the way from Texas. They consider Washington, D.C.,

00:09:42.980 not the nation's capital, a city that belongs to all Americans. It is their personal, professional,

00:09:49.320 and political fiefdom. And how dare Trump supporters leave their backwater farms, you know,

00:09:55.920 from Indiana or wherever and come into the vaunted, you know, sanctuary of Washington, D.C.

00:10:04.200 This is how they've addressed and handled these cases. But let's talk for a minute about Matthew

00:10:11.440 Graves. He's a Biden campaign advisor appointed by Joe Biden to head, arguably, the most powerful U.S.

00:10:18.180 attorney's office in the country. There's a Washington Post article out this week blasting Graves

00:10:24.620 for having by far the highest prosecutorial declination rate, meaning declining to prosecute

00:10:33.800 criminals in Washington, D.C. It's, I think, three times as high as Cook County, Illinois. So he's being

00:10:43.760 blasted for letting criminals on the loose. Well, of course he is because his office is too busy

00:10:49.420 prosecuting, you know, 60-year-old women from Washington or Indiana or Virginia, which they just

00:10:56.720 are charging this week, for walking into the Capitol building for 15 minutes, 26-plus months ago,

00:11:03.400 committing no violent crime. The overwhelming majority, Lou, of these people have no criminal

00:11:08.820 record. They didn't even know they were committing a crime. And yet their lives are being destroyed at

00:11:13.760 the hands of Matthew Graves, who at the same time is letting the nation's Capitol descend into violence,

00:11:20.600 lawlessness, mayhem. Look at what happened to a top staffer for Rand Paul over the weekend.

00:11:25.800 He's walking out of a restaurant at 530 in the evening in a nice area of town and is stabbed in the

00:11:32.960 head by a criminal, longtime criminal who had just been released from prison. I mean, he had life

00:11:40.200 threatening injuries, the Washington Post reported. So you have these truly violent, true domestic

00:11:47.160 terrorists, Lou, on the loose in our nation's Capitol, while Matthew Graves and Lisa Monaco

00:11:53.100 brand anyone involved in January 6th as a domestic terrorist. I mean, this is the sort of double,

00:11:59.960 it's not even double standard. It's just sheer dystopian, something that's never occurred in

00:12:06.060 American history. And yes, Republicans were far too late in saying anything.

00:12:11.440 We're talking with Julie Kelly, senior writer for American Greatness. Please stay with us. We'll be

00:12:16.680 right back after a quick message from our sponsors. Welcome back. We're talking with Julie Kelly,

00:12:22.840 senior writer for American Greatness. You use the word dystopian. I think it's a perfectly

00:12:30.700 good description of what has happened to our federal government because it is corruption is

00:12:37.600 pervasive, not just the Justice Department, not just the FBI, our court system, our prosecutors.

00:12:45.260 The ugliness has spilled across the federal court system, into the post office, to the IRS,

00:12:53.600 the U.S., you name it. Almost every agency is blighted with corruption and much of it Marxist-inspired.

00:13:03.820 And that's not hyperbole in any way, folks, as you know. That is what is going on here as this

00:13:10.700 Democrat party tries to destroy what is fundamentally America. Your reaction, Julie, to it all?

00:13:19.020 I mean, I think the left, to your point, they are Marxist. Call them communists, I think,

00:13:26.320 or socialists certainly is too kind of a word. I mean, this is how a authoritarian Marxist regime

00:13:32.980 exercises its power in the cruelest way possible, while the other side towers in fear and, you know,

00:13:41.340 they throw little darts here and there that they know aren't going to stick because they don't have

00:13:46.140 the courage to do what needs to be done. I mean, look, Lou, we're here, you know,

00:13:51.840 almost three months after Republicans have been sworn into power. I haven't heard one hearing about

00:13:58.140 January 6th having any of these defendants or their family members come before the American people

00:14:03.640 explain what the Department of Justice and FBI have done to them, to their families, to their

00:14:10.720 businesses and their communities. None of that has been happening. And so, you know, as I said,

00:14:17.620 everyone has a little bit to blame, but the left is being fully exposed for what it is. And I think a

00:14:23.660 lot, a large swath of the American public is waking up to this as well. When you have a poll that came

00:14:30.460 out of Rasmussen earlier this month, 61% of Americans think that federal assets provoked the events of

00:14:38.660 January 6th. And also now realizing the degree of cover-up of January 6th, whether it's hidden

00:14:48.240 surveillance videos, numerous FBI informants. Now we have video of undercover Washington, D.C. police

00:14:56.360 officers chanting with the crowd pushing people towards the building. These are just some of the

00:15:03.020 things that make Americans scratch their heads and go, wait a second. You know, maybe what we thought we

00:15:08.340 saw on January 6th wasn't actually the truth. Now, Democrats will never believe that because

00:15:13.840 they're sheep and they're programmed to believe and regurgitate whatever they're told. But other

00:15:20.060 critical-thinking Americans, fair-thinking Americans, are waking up to the fact that this was probably

00:15:26.320 one of, if not the greatest scandals in American history, an attempt to not just permanently

00:15:34.460 overthrow Donald Trump and make sure he never returns to office, but drive a fatal stake in the

00:15:40.640 heart of the MAGA movement, to that degree, they have not been successful. So that's why you see

00:15:46.400 Matthew Graves threatening to round up another thousand-plus Americans related to January 6th.

00:15:52.460 Matthew Graves, Monaco, I mean, you look at this list of characters that is

00:16:04.100 embedded in Washington, D.C. This is the Obama administration, the third term, isn't it?

00:16:13.100 Um, gee, if only. I mean, I, you know, you look back at the Obama years, I mean, certainly they

00:16:20.120 weaponized agencies, the IRS and EPA, against their political foes. But I can't imagine Obama even

00:16:28.080 getting away with all of this. January 6th has such a taint to it. It was so poisonous for any

00:16:35.080 Republican early on to touch and to say anything but it was an insurrection. It was a riot. You know,

00:16:42.300 Kevin McCarthy went to the floor and said that Donald Trump was responsible for this.

00:16:46.600 What people were afraid of, I truly believe,

00:16:49.080 was the big lie that was established first and put and repeated endlessly in the national

00:16:56.820 corporatist media. And we all have to acknowledge who they are. These are corporations,

00:17:03.360 billion-dollar corporations that once were U.S. multinationals. Now they're global

00:17:08.120 multinationals. And their allegiance isn't to anything American. You can't rationalize who the 0.86

00:17:15.040 owners of all this media is. 95% of it is left-wing. And corporations now, they have adopted Marxist

00:17:25.900 philosophies through their HR departments, through their leadership, whether it's, you know, whoever

00:17:32.260 it's, you know, Larry Fink or whomever on Wall Street pushing ESG and all of this nonsense.

00:17:39.700 We are being overwhelmed in this country with the madness of Marxism. And there is just,

00:17:46.120 there's no, and we just don't even acknowledge it in our own discussion sometimes. And when I say

00:17:52.480 our own, I'm talking about those of us who are patriotic, who are conservative, who are independent,

00:17:58.840 who are Republican. Do you not agree?

00:18:01.500 Yes, absolutely. I mean, the betrayal is on many levels here. But look, I will say getting back to

00:18:11.780 what we can consider some encouraging news is that I think the January 6th narrative is unraveling very

00:18:19.520 quickly. And you could see the panic in the media, especially after Tucker Carlson played some of those

00:18:25.140 clips that very clearly debunked compelling narratives about that day. You see the presence,

00:18:33.080 the bombshell revelations about FBI informants coming out in the Proud Boys Seditious Conspiracy

00:18:39.020 Trial. You see, I mean, one thing that blew me away, Lou, is the song at the January 6th choir.

00:18:47.420 You know, the men who were incarcerated in the DC Gulag, I reported on this in the spring of 2021,

00:18:52.620 they called me at home, and I recorded it, singing the national anthem every night at nine o'clock. So

00:19:00.140 they recorded that with an overlay of Donald Trump doing the Pledge of Allegiance. It sprung up to number

00:19:05.620 one on Spotify, then on Billboard, taking out, you know, artists like Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift.

00:19:14.460 So and you see him making this sort of a campaign issue. He talks about it during his rally over the

00:19:20.440 weekend. So Republicans are going to come kicking and screaming to to confront the the horrors of

00:19:29.980 January 6th, the lies and the falsehoods about it and everyone who's been involved in manufacturing that

00:19:37.920 because this is such a big issue, I think, for the base.

00:19:41.440 Now, I have to confess, I haven't seen Tucker Carlson's show in some time, a couple of weeks,

00:19:47.760 at least. I saw the the initial video. Has there been any since then?

00:19:54.520 There's not been more video released. I don't know if Tucker's team has more clips that they're kind of

00:19:59.640 holding on to. I think the good thing about the clips that were initially aired is that, you know,

00:20:05.560 you can't just show the clip, right? You have to tell the story with it. So telling me that the entire

00:20:11.580 travesty of what happened to Jacob Chansley, not just that he was lured around this building,

00:20:16.820 but that he spent 300 plus days in solitary confinement until the DOJ tormented a plea deal

00:20:22.760 out of him on a nonviolent felony obstruction of an official proceeding and then sentenced to 41 months

00:20:28.360 in jail. I mean, that's the you know, that all came into context. So I don't know if his team has

00:20:34.500 more. But I do know that Congress House members are looking at that video. And there is actually

00:20:41.580 a court filing the press coalition, which is a major consortium of the biggest news corporations

00:20:49.180 in the country, have now asked a federal judge finally to take the protective order off all the

00:20:56.800 surveillance video so the media can see it for themselves. And that's pending before Judge Rudy

00:21:03.120 Contreras right now. And he might rule on that soon. That will be another game changer.

00:21:09.540 What kind of judge is he?

00:21:11.620 Well, Rudy Contreras, you might remember, was the judge who signed off on Mike Flynn's plea deal

00:21:16.980 and then recused himself because text messages between Peter Strzok and Lisa Page revealed that

00:21:23.800 he was friends, either friends or neighbors, with Lisa Page. So he recused himself from the Flynn case.

00:21:31.780 He also sat on the FISA court. He did not sign any of the FISA warrants against Carter Page, but he was

00:21:37.640 on the FISA court. So, you know, he hasn't managed a lot of big cases, but he's got a pretty significant

00:21:45.940 one before him right now, a man named William Pope, who is defending himself. And he's actually making some

00:21:52.300 really good headway against the government right now. And that's why the press coalition

00:21:57.160 joined his case to basically say, okay, the time's up. It's been over two years.

00:22:04.500 We want to see all the surveillance footage.

00:22:08.180 You know, and he has to beg for that. I mean, this is madness that we consider that, frankly,

00:22:15.580 some sort of progress. This is an outrage. Two years in the making, these people caught up as

00:22:24.760 political prisoners of a party that once called itself democratic. Then they try to play like

00:22:33.540 they're progressives. They're nothing more than authoritarian, totalitarian, Marxist.

00:22:38.740 And they're loving this. They're absolutely loving it. Chuck Schumer is in his heyday and with him

00:22:46.340 now in something of her leisure, Nancy Pelosi. We are watching the vilest display 0.83

00:22:54.320 of indifference to the lives and the families of American citizens. I could never have imagined this

00:23:03.480 in America, Julie, ever. And no one is doing a thing. Is there any, and I know you've got to feel,

00:23:11.120 you've got to be, you've got to be more frustrated than I am. But for us to be helpless in the face of

00:23:18.800 wanton totalitarianism and Marxism on display without apology, without shame, I don't understand

00:23:29.820 what this country's come to. I really don't.

00:23:32.040 I will say, I think I was more disheartened two years ago when I started covering this and

00:23:39.640 nothing was happening than I am, quite frankly, now. Because I think that people like Matthew

00:23:46.800 Graves, I think his name is becoming, you know, more public. I think we see that Merrick Garland

00:23:54.000 is not capable, that there are people behind the scenes that are doing this.

00:23:57.280 This is The Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs. Please stay with us through these quick messages

00:24:02.560 from our sponsors. We'll be right back. Welcome back to The Great America Show. I'm Lou Dobbs.

00:24:09.320 We're talking with Julie Kelly, senior writer for American Greatness.

00:24:13.540 A left-wing jury sitting in the occupied territory of Washington, D.C. We have a 90,

00:24:21.720 what is it, 97% Democratic vote in that city. We are watching an absolute Soviet show trial every 0.89

00:24:32.620 time they call the court to order. Let's not give them the due that we would and respect of any court

00:24:42.580 with a jury of peers, with a judge who is fair, who is balanced and impartial. These are nothing more

00:24:51.360 than left-wing Marxist thugs working every day to destroy this country. I really believe that.

00:24:59.000 And maybe that's an oversight, but it isn't by much. Do you think?

00:25:04.180 No, I agree with you. I have a piece up today. You know, I say it's time to shine a light in the D.C.

00:25:10.380 in the D.C. federal courthouse. These trials and hearings should be available to the American public.

00:25:16.920 If January 6th is comparable to 9-11 and Pearl Harbor, as Merrick Garland says, and Joe Biden

00:25:22.940 and the national news media says, then the American people should be able to see what's

00:25:27.280 happening in the trials of those they believe are responsible for this terrorist attack.

00:25:32.220 I was able to listen to all the hearings throughout 2021. Under COVID rules, every judge's courtroom had

00:25:41.460 a public access line. I could call in and listen. Suddenly, before the trials began, Beryl Howell,

00:25:47.900 the chief judge at the time, shut off those public access lines. You cannot hear or see anything

00:25:53.980 happening in these courtrooms unless you go to Washington, D.C., go through a very extensive

00:25:59.980 security checkpoint, as I have done numerous occasions. Go sit in a tiny courtroom without any

00:26:06.440 access to your electronic device, or you could go in the press room, which is usually pretty crowded.

00:26:11.580 That's the only way you could see what's going on. And God forbid you would want to cover a couple

00:26:15.860 of different trials at one time or bounce back and forth. You can't do that.

00:26:20.100 So now the D.C. appellate court, you can listen to it on YouTube. When I covered the Whitmer Fed

00:26:25.500 napping hoax in Michigan, a federal trial, I called in every day and could hear what's going on.

00:26:31.060 Why are these trials and hearings being held basically in secret? So that's something else

00:26:37.840 I've urged House members to do, to appeal to the new chief judge, James Bosberg, and ask him to open

00:26:46.360 up. We need more transparency in these court proceedings. Put the public access lines back

00:26:52.600 in service. Let people and independent journalists call in and report in live time, because I'll tell

00:26:59.080 you, Lou, the American people could hear what's going on. There would be more rallies in the streets

00:27:06.680 because these are kangaroo courts with struggle sessions where judges and prosecutors force Americans

00:27:15.680 to repent for the sin of trusting and supporting Donald Trump and objecting to the rigged election

00:27:24.220 of Joe Biden. That's the sort of, that's just one thing that's happening there. So, um, you know,

00:27:30.140 that's something the House could do, but I don't think that they will.

00:27:34.500 Why don't you think they will?

00:27:37.140 You know, I mean, look, House Republicans have a lot on their plate. I don't dispute that at all from

00:27:42.460 what's the revelations about the Biden crime family, you know, to trying to get some sort of

00:27:50.460 accountability for COVID and the lockdowns. And then what's happening with our military,

00:27:58.300 the deadly withdrawal of Afghanistan, you know, they have a lot on their plate.

00:28:02.800 But I would argue, aside from the open border travesty, January 6th and this, uh, uh, January 6th

00:28:10.660 prosecution is the biggest crisis in America right now, because we are setting precedents,

00:28:18.000 including, as I said, the complete destruction of executive privilege for United States president.

00:28:23.440 That is what these judges are doing. When you take away executive privilege claims for your own

00:28:28.440 attorneys, for your vice president, your chief of staff, your national security advisor, your director

00:28:34.500 of national intelligence. Um, you know, this has happened to House Republicans like Scott Perry,

00:28:39.280 the FBI just snatched his cell phone out of his hand the day after the Mar-a-Lago raid, uh, extracted

00:28:45.240 its contents, gave it back to him and he's fighting to get it back. And Beryl Howell said, no, you don't

00:28:50.040 get executive privilege claims for this because under the speech and debate clause, simply because

00:28:55.500 you're a member of Congress. I mean, they are eradicating privilege claims, um, that have been honored,

00:29:01.260 you know, for, for, for 200 some odd years, probably not that long. But Beryl, Beryl Howell has been at

00:29:07.880 the, uh, the forefront of those decisions to strip executive privilege from, uh, from the president.

00:29:13.900 What other judges come to mind? Who, who else has been complicit in that obvious effort, partisan effort,

00:29:21.340 ideological effort? Right. So Beryl Howell is the biggest culprit. Um, another one is Tanya Chutkin. 0.92

00:29:28.300 So she was the one who initially, um, rejected Trump's executive privilege claims just overall

00:29:36.720 for documentations and records related to January 6th. Her order was upheld by this, um, appellate

00:29:43.200 court. Now we have the new ruling with James Bosberg, the new chief judge, which is not an encouraging

00:29:49.440 sign, denying Mike Pence's exact claims of executive privilege and piercing that privilege to force him

00:29:57.140 to go before the grand jury and testify about private communications. He had with the president

00:30:03.620 about January 6th. The other day, Donald Trump in a rally, uh, in Waco, Texas said that either we will

00:30:11.540 defeat the deep state or the deep state will defeat us. It's that straightforward. It's that stark.

00:30:17.400 He's right, isn't he? Oh yes, he's, he's completely right. And I mean, I think Donald Trump could win on,

00:30:23.820 on this sort of issue alone. Um, you know, unfortunately when he had the chance to clean

00:30:29.500 house, he didn't, but maybe he's learned those lessons and, uh, you know, we'll move forward with

00:30:35.880 very specific plans about what he will do. And I think he needs to start by dismantling the FBI

00:30:42.300 and completely shutting down the DC U.S. Attorney's office. Yeah. And I think, uh, stripping up the,

00:30:48.160 uh, stripping out the Department of Justice wholesale, uh, it is a, it is a den of vipers, uh, in every,

00:30:57.760 every quarter of that department. It is horrific to contemplate. Uh, I have to tell you, Julie, you are

00:31:04.520 always, uh, an inspiration to me and I know to the audience, uh, because you do honor so greatly

00:31:12.000 the public's right to know about some of the toughest stories to cover and, and some of the

00:31:18.380 meanest, uh, situations, uh, in our country's history, uh, when talking about the J6 prisoners. 1.00
