The Great America Show - WHY ARE NY COURT'S BLOCKING RELEASE OF JUDGE MERCHAN'S FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE？

00:00:00.000 hello everybody and welcome to the great america show it's great to have you with us i want to

00:00:06.860 apologize for being mia the last couple of days i'm probably one of the only fools to catch a

00:00:10.860 nasty cold at the end of the summer with that being said i woke up this morning and said let's

00:00:15.240 push through there's a lot of news to talk about that transpired over the last few days

00:00:19.220 a school shooting in georgia in which the fbi met with the shooter just last year

00:00:23.520 in may of 2023 the fbi's national threat operation center received several anonymous

00:00:29.040 tips about online threats to commit school shooting at an unidentified location and an

00:00:33.540 unidentified time the online threats contain photographs of guns within 24 hours the fbi

00:00:39.220 determined the online post originated in georgia and the fbi atlanta field office referred the

00:00:44.000 information to the jackson county sheriff's office for action the jackson county sheriff's office

00:00:48.760 located a possible 13 year old subject and interviewed him and his father the father

00:00:53.400 stated that he had guns in the house but the son had no unsupervised access to them

00:00:57.740 his son denied also making any threats online jackson county alerted local schools and continued

00:01:04.060 monitoring for this child lo and behold the 14 year old colt gray followed up on his threats this

00:01:09.140 week taking the lives of two fellow students and two teachers the suspect was arrested and now is

00:01:13.940 charged with the felony murder we pray for those families affected by this sick individual

00:01:17.960 among some other things happening this week hunter biden has decided he will plead guilty

00:01:22.460 in his california tax fraud case the guilty plea just comes just in time for his father to pardon him

00:01:28.160 before leaving office it also saves the biden family the embarrassment of going through with

00:01:32.220 discovery process who knows what payments we might have found that went to joe biden and special

00:01:37.400 counsel jack smith back in dc court this week to file his latest indictment against president trump

00:01:42.060 in the new twist in the federal election interference case against president trump

00:01:45.820 special counsel jack smith has submitted a mystery document hidden from the public and hidden from

00:01:50.980 trump's lawyers i can only imagine what the document title quote government classified ex parte end quote

00:01:56.920 includes and why it wasn't presented in the first indictment against trump jack smith gets more and

00:02:02.040 more foolish as the days go on and i think he's finally realized his run is up to take all this up and

00:02:07.000 much more our guest today is jeff clark he's a former u.s assistant attorney general and he's a senior 0.90

00:02:11.420 fellow at the center for renewing america jeff it's great to have you with us i want to start with

00:02:15.860 first the fbi missing another school shooter i want to go through some instances dating back to 2013

00:02:22.720 um the authorities knew in the boston marathon uh bombing three people killed san bernardino 16 killed

00:02:30.260 the fbi knew about it pulse nightclub 2016 the fbi knew about it uh 49 people killed the list goes on

00:02:38.060 and on down to parkland florida boulder colorado buffalo up until 2022 how does the fbi keep

00:02:43.980 missing things like this i mean where is their focus right now where should it be where should it be

00:02:49.260 well john it's good to be here although obviously it's uh on the the sad occasion for me of my first

00:02:56.660 appearance on the the great america show since the passing of lou dobbs and so you know god rest his soul

00:03:03.060 uh but i'm glad to join you i think that the fbi has a major woke uh agenda problem and this causes

00:03:11.780 them to misallocate resources john and to focus on the wrong problems so you know they get a report

00:03:18.700 like you described uh you know happened in georgia and they go and they you know do a kind of

00:03:25.120 perfunctory check-in you know they hear the right things of well you know you didn't really threaten

00:03:30.260 or at least he denies it and then the father says well he doesn't have access to guns and you know

00:03:35.780 they issue some warnings and away they go you know i think the fact that the uh they knew the pulse

00:03:41.860 nightclub shooter i remember the day that happened you know being uh i think a sunday uh and i had some

00:03:48.920 people over the house and just you know just my floor my my jaw hit the floor on that and then

00:03:54.840 the uh the parkland shooter the fact that they knew about him and that you know i think really is an

00:04:00.600 instance of the woke agenda in the sense of as is i think pulse nightclub right so you know there's the

00:04:07.840 whole lgbtq etc angle for pulse nightclub and the fact that uh you know he uh was uh you know muslim

00:04:16.380 individual and then for parkland you have the fact that uh you know he he didn't seem to kind of fit

00:04:22.200 into the white community let's put it that way and so uh you know the the fbi seems to like want

00:04:28.260 to give a break to people so that they're not perceived as discriminating against the people on

00:04:32.960 the basis of race or their sexual orientation when in reality what they should be doing is

00:04:38.180 prioritizing uh threats and risks based on the objective data about that and so you know they're

00:04:45.180 clearly doing something wrong when they can't head these things off at the pass and they're not

00:04:50.220 heading them off at the pass instead this week john what we got was another russia russia russia

00:04:55.540 uh indictment just in time for the 2024 election you know it's it's magical how these things appear

00:05:02.660 isn't it john yep you know the thing that's i do want to get to the russia collusion 2.0 just in time

00:05:08.260 like you said for the election but the thing that's so alarming to me is we have this fbi that's so

00:05:13.280 i mean full force to come get you out of your house in the middle of the night not even like put a

00:05:18.600 pair of pants or shorts on going to get roger stone an elderly man with an elderly wife who's deaf 0.94

00:05:23.700 showing up at your doorsteps or or the catholic faith leaders the christian faith leaders the

00:05:28.340 people who protest against planned parenthood they're so fat january six people some who

00:05:33.020 weren't even at the capitol had nothing to do with it but had association with people who did

00:05:37.500 they're so fast to come to their doors and bang on their doors like they're some sort of tough guy

00:05:41.940 gangsters well of course you are there's 10 or 15 or 20 you guys you guys all have loaded machine guns

00:05:46.740 are ready to go but when it comes time to people like this child who i just saw on twitter his aunt

00:05:51.860 posted out that he was screaming for help for months and years that you know he was not all there and

00:05:57.940 that this was going to happen for god's sakes the fbi met with a kid um his family who who said he was

00:06:04.700 going to do this and then follow through your thoughts i mean with their direction you know the fbi's

00:06:10.580 direction so worried on people like you people like roger stone people at january 6 people who

00:06:17.000 just wanted a free and fair election where all of a sudden now the criminals and these people are

00:06:21.780 just oh you know they're just victims and they uh we should have more gun control well john i don't 0.54

00:06:28.580 think that the current crop of people who are uh at the fbi and their political leadership really believe

00:06:34.260 in the first amendment that's why we have individuals like elvis chang going and essentially

00:06:40.480 pressuring the big tech companies to to censor uh in connection with the 2020 election we know that

00:06:47.420 zuckerberg has admitted that uh we know from the hashtag twitter files how much censorship the government

00:06:54.360 participated in we got a disappointing case out of the supreme court about that but that case is still uh

00:07:00.120 still live you know may make a return to the supreme court the justices may see it differently once it's

00:07:05.500 in a more advanced to a final judgment procedural posture um but i do as i started with john i think

00:07:13.000 that wokeism is a key element of this and i'll tell you that uh last year uh in march or so i gave a series

00:07:20.700 of lectures in hungary about u.s constitutional law and i was returning i was at the airport with uh two of my

00:07:28.780 children and it was an early morning flight uh from budapest to london and then the connecting

00:07:35.840 flight from london uh into the dc area but on the in the airport in hungary there was a woman who was

00:07:42.700 you know interning in some multinational capacity for the summer in europe but she was talking about

00:07:49.460 the fact that basically she had an offer to go work for the fbi and just the kinds of things she was

00:07:54.940 talking about her whole affect uh you could get a sense of like what her values and priorities were i mean

00:08:01.820 someone like that listening to them like involuntarily because she was speaking so loud uh at you know 0.99

00:08:07.880 like six in the morning in the in the airport you know like just the kind of person i would never want

00:08:12.840 to have near federal law enforcement and you know this kind of person who's just not going to approach

00:08:18.280 prioritizing stopping real crime as opposed to going after political enemies that she's been taught

00:08:24.960 from her college days are the real foes of america and are going to lead to extremism and authoritarianism

00:08:31.920 they're not just people who disagree with her politically yeah you had mentioned woke a bunch

00:08:36.780 of times and coincidentally the the pulse nightclub shooting which was at a gay nightclub in orlando

00:08:41.460 also happening in orlando and this is the this is the way this country is going folks it's really sad

00:08:47.120 the secret services office of equity diversion and inclusion is requesting that agents attend an

00:08:53.120 lgbtq plus out an equal workplace summit at disney world from october 7th october 10th now we know that

00:09:01.500 the secret service is understaffed and undermanned to begin with president trump was nearly assassinated

00:09:06.740 uh just a few months ago we still don't know anything about that coincidentally but you have the secret

00:09:12.420 service now there's reports that the u.s military has actually had to step in and sort of fill in the

00:09:18.300 gaps of where the where the u.s secret service can't cover their own rear ends yet we have a gay summit 0.89

00:09:25.040 in orlando a three-day summit to make people feel good i mean what is going on in this country jeff 0.96

00:09:32.500 it's just ridiculous john i mean there shouldn't be an event like this at the uh secret service and it's

00:09:39.700 certainly not uh an event that you could say has anything to do with equality right when was the 0.64

00:09:45.400 last time you heard uh a federal law enforcement agency or protective agency like the secret service

00:09:51.420 having a sort of like hey it's heterosexual day or it's find your you know future wife or husband day

00:09:58.780 none of that exists right why is there a special you know mafia essentially for these kinds of things

00:10:05.600 why are the taxpayers being forced to spend money for this ridiculousness and it clearly shows that

00:10:11.720 their focus is on ridiculous social engineering things and not on their actual mission which as we 0.68

00:10:18.820 know right going back for a very long time has been focused on two things protecting the president

00:10:23.700 other dignitaries former presidents vice presidents candidates uh for the presidency etc and on protecting us

00:10:32.380 uh against counterfeiting right and so these things are uh you know their their mission they're not

00:10:38.960 focused on their mission like having some time off at disneyland you know for an lgbtq event i mean that

00:10:45.700 there's they they should be sued at some level into prostration over the fact that they're wasting 0.99

00:10:53.940 taxpayer money doing these kinds of ridiculous things right and i think we can agree on one thing nobody 0.91

00:10:58.800 cares if you're gay or straight or whatever it is but stop pushing it down the throats of people who 0.61

00:11:03.380 want nothing to do with it i mean it's a federal agency that gets federal funding i i mean it's truly

00:11:09.780 alarming to me it's really unbelievable i mean we saw when president trump was almost assassinated the

00:11:14.600 female a secret service agent was probably five foot seven president trump i think is six foot four 0.97

00:11:19.460 trying to holster her gun and cover president trump you had another agent who was like kneeling down below 0.93

00:11:24.260 the stage because she was terrified of maybe getting shot i mean these people take a sworn oath that when

00:11:28.740 they when they you know take over their jobs as secret service and that they'll die for the

00:11:33.220 president of the united states and you saw that it was unbelievable yeah i mean the agents around the

00:11:38.660 president uh on the podium who you know got him low and then he you know kind of disputed with them so

00:11:44.660 he could rise up and and signal to america and to the crowd that that he was okay and to say fight fight

00:11:51.420 fight right i think and they they you know they they did after you know he kind of uh pushed back

00:11:57.680 against that they got him off you know uh maybe they could have done a little quicker but i mean

00:12:02.380 you know it's hard to fault that in the confusion and the chaos of the moment but what you're describing

00:12:07.760 i mean it was like keystone cops and it's clear they have you know too many diversity hires because

00:12:13.960 the former head cheetel of the secret service prioritized that again it's the kind of woman i 1.00

00:12:20.240 described to you from you know is going to go work at the fbi that's the kind of priorities that that

00:12:25.240 young woman had and then she grows up to become you know someone like cheeto you know deeper and

00:12:30.920 deeper into the organization and what do we get we get a total security breakdown and the loss you

00:12:36.280 know near loss of president trump jeff i got an idea why don't we from now on any government any

00:12:41.260 college applicant any job why don't we black out the names of these people white out there black out 1.00

00:12:48.340 their their race or any everything and why don't we just get to their job description who these people

00:12:52.940 are and i think we'll see a big change in how things are going um we're going to take a quick

00:12:57.260 break here you mentioned russian collusion 2.0 i want to take that up on the other side of this break

00:13:01.120 also jack smith is acting up again we're going to take that up with jeff clark we're coming right back

00:13:05.340 stay with us we're back we're talking with jeff clark and jeff right before we went to break there

00:13:14.940 you had mentioned russia collusion it's back the department of justice charging two russian media operatives

00:13:20.680 and what they call an alleged money laundering scheme with russian television is this uh good

00:13:26.540 luck on the justice department i mean do they just keep getting it right as we have an election just

00:13:30.640 you know two months away perhaps well they're getting it right from the perspective of trying

00:13:35.940 to help kamala harris get elected that's for sure because it totally re-ripens you know it's the kind

00:13:42.080 of thing where msnbc is over the moon and they're you know they're analysts they're what i call their

00:13:47.080 journal lawfare commentators uh and they're uh you know big helming personalities stop you right 1.00

00:13:52.960 they're idiots they're idiots well i'm sorry yeah but they they just love the russia thing every time 1.00

00:14:00.380 they can say trump's in bed with russia people around trump are in bed with russia like they just 1.00

00:14:05.300 can't help themselves like i it's like they they have you know fears of putting the boogeyman under

00:14:10.680 their bed it this this the timing of this it reminds me of the fact that the you know whole russia

00:14:18.340 collusion thing started to fall apart and then i remember that rod rosenstein uh announced indictments

00:14:25.520 of some russians you know there were like small relatively small amounts of money like the election

00:14:30.780 in america could be moved by a couple hundred thousand dollars of you know online trolling activity

00:14:36.840 from you know folks tied to russia and you know they sued them and then they're they're not even

00:14:41.680 in the u.s so it was just basically like an aspirational indictment but it helped to sort of

00:14:46.960 you know of course it's covered breathlessly on the msnbcs of the world this feels exactly like that to me

00:14:52.620 now whether some of the participants like you know a lot of uh fire today being directed at lauren chen

00:15:00.320 uh you know for really being a potential willing participant in this with these you know russian

00:15:06.120 straw people um i you know i the facts i think we're gonna have to see wait and see how they come

00:15:12.100 out but uh you know i i think that that this is a situation where they wanted to drop this indictment

00:15:19.880 right before the election so they can have another fest of russia russia 2.0 russia gate 3.0 and i think

00:15:28.500 that they dropped the indictment against this linda soon person in new york who worked for both cuomo

00:15:35.280 and governor hochel right before this so that they could say and have some cover of the idea that

00:15:41.520 well we're like we're equal opportunity right like this is someone who was tied to the democrats

00:15:45.340 working for the chinese but first of all that case is a lot worse than than you know kind of first 1.00

00:15:51.160 amendment type activities and second of all like you know their main focus and what they're you know

00:15:57.000 they have uh garland you know start speaking about inside his conference room on the fifth floor of

00:16:02.060 the justice department that i've been in many times you know that's all focused on the trump's

00:16:06.520 anything tied to trump and this you know new uh russia gate 3.0 set of allegations you know it's

00:16:13.260 funny you say that um because anyone who goes there speaks out about the bite just before we got on here

00:16:20.000 the the police commissioner of new york's house was rated as part of a corruption scheme against mayor

00:16:24.540 adams um he's being investigated now for the last few months of people around him

00:16:28.620 um chen was obviously really in in coerce with with cuomo but it seems like anyone who's attempts

00:16:35.200 to speak out against this regime whether it be harris or biden they pay the price for it

00:16:39.940 i mean is this does the left have a deep state too well i think the deep state is is largely the left

00:16:48.260 uh there's on the right side you're the republicans rod rosenstein obviously a republican christopher

00:16:53.820 ray um james comey whatever you want to call them whether they're republicans or not but usually the

00:16:59.740 deep state goes after republicans now it seems the deep state is going after democrats well i think

00:17:04.520 yeah they go after anyone who threatens you know uniparty power really and eric adams made the mistake

00:17:10.680 of coming up above the waterline and starting to talk about how he's frustrated with the federal

00:17:15.620 government shipping in all the illegal aliens and so then magically all of his times of trouble and

00:17:20.960 those around him start so they're you know they're sending a message to him like no no no you don't

00:17:25.380 you're a democrat you play ball with us you don't uh start raising issues with our big policy decisions

00:17:31.740 like open borders you know that's the biden and harris uh you know pretty baby although now harris is

00:17:38.420 trying to run away from it and claim that she's the border czar who uh built the wall which is a total lie

00:17:44.660 yeah it's unbelievable just going back real quick to the to the russia collusion again

00:17:49.840 you brought up a really good point making a few videos i mean if you read through the indictment 0.97

00:17:54.800 it was literally so stupid these people were paid to make tiktok videos and short online videos 0.96

00:18:00.140 and that all of a sudden is going to sway an election no i'll tell you what's going to sway 1.00

00:18:03.820 an election what's going to sway an election is jack smith indicting president trump a hundred times

00:18:08.220 uh bringing out this fake russia collusion crap 30 days before an election i mean when are these 0.80

00:18:13.840 people going to wake up and realize jeff what's really going on here right well look what uh you

00:18:20.400 know was happening like i described that uh rosenstein led indictment at a press conference he

00:18:26.120 did on the sixth floor of doj another place i've also spent a lot of time and you know that that was

00:18:32.960 totally overblown right but then if you uh fast forward to 2020 or really to 2021 because the public

00:18:40.480 version of the report from the intelligence community about foreign election interference

00:18:44.540 in 2020 was not issued until 2021 it you know there was a majority view and then there were dissenting views

00:18:51.500 essentially from an ombudsman and from dni head uh john radcliffe and they uh you know essentially the

00:19:00.120 majority view was well you know they're they're spending some amounts of money you know china and uh

00:19:06.880 and iran and turkey but uh you know it's not enough really to impact the election like nothing to see

00:19:13.860 here so but what the dissent essentially argued from radcliffe was this is the same rough activity

00:19:19.840 that that you were throwing up all over before when it was supposedly happening to benefit trump

00:19:26.300 but now that it's happening to benefit joe biden you know it's magically a nothing burger like there's

00:19:31.620 no logical consistency to it yeah that seems to be the double standard i mean we've seen for the last

00:19:36.560 since nine years we'll say since 2015 since trump came down that escalator it's just unbelievable for

00:19:41.800 whatever it's worth vladimir putin offering an endorsement of kamala harris uh when all that stuff

00:19:47.420 came out because it's a joke i mean jeff these these world leaders whether it be xi jinping or

00:19:51.940 vladimir putin they look at what's going on in this country right now and there's a reason why

00:19:56.120 putin went into ukraine um or crimea years ago i mean they know what they get away with it's a

00:20:02.120 reason why xi jinping does whatever he wants sends millions and millions and millions of dollars in 0.94

00:20:07.320 fentanyl uh through our southern border every year there's a reason that they're doing all these

00:20:11.520 things it's because they get away with it for kamala harris to come in here and say well things are

00:20:15.340 going to change well why didn't they change you know if things were so bad under trump why did they 0.99

00:20:19.480 change on january 20th of 2021 when you idiots took office we're going to take a quick break here when we 0.99

00:20:24.920 come back the doj caught admitting on camera just how corrupt they really are we're going to take up 0.99

00:20:31.680 jack smith as well we're talking with jeff clark we're coming right back stay with us

00:20:35.220 we're back we're talking with jeff clark and jeff before we went to break i tease that the doj

00:20:45.380 caught admitting that they their trump derangement syndrome is worse than ever nicholas biasi is the

00:20:51.300 chief of public affairs for the doj in the southern district of new york caught with stephen crowder

00:20:56.340 one of stephen crowder's people on camera admitting this take a listen folks

00:21:00.440 felonies did nothing to stop trump from running

00:21:03.380 no in fact they made him more relevant did that backfire

00:21:09.000 sure it is 0.86

00:21:11.840 and everything is disgusting

00:21:14.400 um they're just out to get them that's why i'd like the surgeon

00:21:19.860 you know it's a perversion of justice

00:21:23.820 you know who's stacking charges and like rearranging things just to make a good case

00:21:29.620 no to be honest with you i think the case is nonsense

00:21:33.120 state levels are wild plus 1.00

00:21:35.900 they're like idiots they don't care they're all political 1.00

00:21:40.320 um 1.00

00:21:41.680 so yeah this guy's probably going to try to lock them up

00:21:47.060 and there is going to be it's going to be ugly for them

00:21:51.020 they're so obsessed with getting hate

00:21:53.020 who who who is they

00:21:56.820 who i've known for 15 years who used to work in my office

00:22:03.020 before he decided to prosecute trump did you know who he was

00:22:07.260 i'm not sure what he wants to be but i know he's not happy

00:22:12.720 just being the dean of new york county

00:22:15.860 so now he's very ambitious

00:22:17.620 every real estate person in new york does what he did

00:22:20.660 nobody's ever been charged with us

00:22:22.920 and it's all happening

00:22:25.660 jeff so they're saying the silent part out loud which we've known now for years

00:22:30.340 how corrupt new york is how corrupt this department of justice is

00:22:34.220 i'll tell you and everyone talks about it like a joke

00:22:36.600 i'll tell you what's not a joke is the 34 counts of falsifying business records against president trump

00:22:41.080 the 40 counts related to mishandling classified documents against president trump

00:22:44.880 the four charges of attempting to overturn the 2020 election

00:22:47.920 the 10 charges of election interference in georgia

00:22:50.380 what i don't get it

00:22:51.740 what what is so funny about that

00:22:53.760 that these people have such a vendetta against a man

00:22:55.780 who's never done a damn thing wrong to them

00:22:57.920 has only done good for the city and state of new york

00:23:00.180 and it was only done good for this country

00:23:01.940 well he threatens president trump threatens a power structure that they benefit from

00:23:07.740 and they don't want to see a change

00:23:09.160 and they're willing to use any underhanded tactic

00:23:12.580 any form of lawfare they can in order to stop him from

00:23:15.980 returning to the white house 0.89

00:23:17.480 that's what's going on

00:23:18.480 and look the southern district of new york

00:23:21.140 their culture their culture is way off 0.96

00:23:23.500 and really needs to change

00:23:24.820 if we go back to the trump administration

00:23:26.660 we had the u.s attorney there jeffrey berman

00:23:29.100 right you know this guy

00:23:30.580 he didn't even think that uh

00:23:33.340 he needed to listen to the attorney general

00:23:36.020 who's his boss at the time bill barr

00:23:37.980 uh and let alone listen to the president

00:23:40.840 like the reality is the president is the chief of the executive branch john

00:23:44.420 he is the chief law enforcer

00:23:46.300 and you know the attorney general is an intermediary

00:23:49.500 in between him and the southern district of new york's u.s attorney

00:23:52.340 and other assistant u.s attorneys

00:23:54.100 but you know they're they're really uh

00:23:56.720 you know subordinate but they don't see it themselves that way

00:23:59.360 inside the justice department if you've been in it like i have

00:24:02.060 you know the joking term used for the southern district of new york

00:24:05.400 is the sovereign district of new york

00:24:06.920 because they think they're so powerful and so above it all

00:24:09.920 so here you have this guy you know bease on you know a sting uh camera operation

00:24:15.600 that stephen crowder ran

00:24:16.860 and you know he's uh you know talking to this woman

00:24:20.120 and he's saying well you know yeah i've known alvin bragg for 15 years

00:24:23.640 he brought these charges uh you know it's all political

00:24:27.400 it's just to try to you know destroy trump

00:24:29.760 it's perversion of justice etc of course that this is clearly

00:24:32.700 what he really believes

00:24:34.180 he's just letting you know the uh the the dress down

00:24:37.760 and then you know he issued a statement

00:24:40.100 after this uh came out

00:24:42.520 saying oh this these doesn't recognize

00:24:45.500 you know or reflect my real views

00:24:47.200 my my real views are different

00:24:49.300 i was just trying to impress a girl

00:24:51.400 right i mean this guy should be fired faster than your head can spin

00:24:55.540 right yeah let me just read that for the audience real quick

00:24:58.520 this is the statement from the southern district of new york chief

00:25:01.820 nick biasi quote i was recently made aware of a video

00:25:05.080 where i regretfully made some statements in a private and social setting

00:25:08.640 that don't reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions

00:25:12.160 i said these things in an effort to please and impress someone i just met

00:25:15.780 who was secretly filming me

00:25:17.700 i am deeply sorry to local and state and for law enforcement officials

00:25:21.280 working on these matters who deserve more respect than i'd show them

00:25:24.360 at what point does i'm sorry just not cut it anymore

00:25:27.740 i mean

00:25:28.080 we were talking before and this guy i was trying to impress a girl what are we

00:25:33.780 in eighth grade here and you know i'm sorry well you know are you sorry to

00:25:38.200 president trump are you sorry to jeffrey clark are you sorry to roger stone

00:25:41.360 these people have spent not everyone has money like president trump to shell out

00:25:45.560 a million and i assume your your legal fees are well over into the millions

00:25:49.360 and i'm sorry that just doesn't cut it anymore jeff

00:25:53.040 i know it doesn't and look you know why are they protecting this guy at some level right

00:26:00.340 because clearly they went to him and they said you know he shouldn't have said this

00:26:04.760 and the democrats are running the southern district of new york at this point you would

00:26:09.240 think he at that point had become a liability and they cut him loose

00:26:11.880 so no like they're they're so drunk on their own power

00:26:15.340 john that they think they can keep this guy even though this embarrassing admissions

00:26:19.900 have come out right before uh juan mershon the judge in the manhattan case that alvin

00:26:25.540 bragg brought you know is about to try to sentence

00:26:28.720 donald trump on september 18th yeah you know it's it's truly it's sad and

00:26:33.840 it's not just you know new york it's not just dc it's it's everywhere it's all

00:26:38.620 across this country it's down in georgia if you i don't know for anyone who's seen

00:26:41.540 fanny willis's uh i don't know what was her niece get pulled over with a suspended 1.00

00:26:45.420 license she shows up to see what yeah her daughter shows up to the scene when 1.00

00:26:49.060 nathan wade the lover that she said she was no longer with i mean

00:26:51.980 it's it's truly scary you said juan mershon the america first legal is suing

00:26:57.540 new york state ethics to commission for illegally concealing judge mershon's

00:27:01.880 financial disclosures why would new york be hiding the

00:27:05.760 financial disclosures of a judge these people are supposed to be

00:27:08.600 i mean tip top as clean as can be

00:27:11.760 i mean we'll we'll say that in air quotes right because

00:27:14.920 really hasn't shown that but these people are supposed to be as clean as

00:27:18.400 as a whistle we know juan mershon's daughter made raised millions and

00:27:22.420 millions of dollars almost 100 million dollars for democrats off the trump case

00:27:25.440 made eight million dollars off the harris campaign

00:27:27.880 why is the new york ethics commission why are they so

00:27:32.380 um set on protecting juan mershon what's in those records that he's hiding

00:27:36.980 it's got to be something that's being hidden john and that's why they won't let

00:27:40.840 them out look at the what's the whole theory of having these uh financial and

00:27:45.400 other uh affiliations disclosure reports the

00:27:49.180 point of them is that the litigants who find themselves assigned

00:27:53.400 that particular judge can then go look and see hey

00:27:56.580 oh i'm x corporation he has right stock or he has stock in my competitor right so

00:28:02.920 that you can assess whether to move for accusal right and uh so this helps keep

00:28:08.300 the judges honest too if they know that that information is publicly available

00:28:11.740 look you know like what stocks uh uh you know they're they're everyone sort of

00:28:17.180 knows like which uh companies samuel alito the justice of the associate

00:28:21.920 justice of the supreme court has and you know you'll just see he routinely

00:28:25.580 recuses from cases like if those corporations come before the court

00:28:28.980 that's what should be happening with judge mershon instead you know he got this

00:28:33.320 protective decision which really makes no sense that his daughter

00:28:36.660 can make millions uh and even receive the money like at her private home she's 1.00

00:28:41.780 she wasn't directing the funds to like her business address like why are the funds

00:28:45.900 you know for her political contracts being directed to her house 1.00

00:28:49.320 uh you know it's it really smells bad and i don't think he should be allowed to

00:28:54.460 preside over this trial but you know he's still chugging along and the new york

00:28:58.000 authorities are protecting him yeah and when you look at one mershan's daughter

00:29:01.580 it's a young girl who's got no political background to be making that much money in

00:29:05.920 this i've been in politics a long time i mean right after college the money

00:29:10.280 doesn't flow like that to people who just you know come out of college and just

00:29:13.740 got a job it it takes years and years and years of working on capitol hill and

00:29:17.600 doing this and x and y and you you walk through the ladder in the hoops and you

00:29:20.560 may eventually make it for her to be paid eight million dollars from the harris

00:29:23.320 campaign as a kid i'll take a job tomorrow it's it's truly sad that that this

00:29:28.540 is what it's come to and why it's it's you know so much to ask for our judges to just

00:29:33.780 be honest and just be clean i mean it's it's worse i think we're in in america

00:29:39.040 than it is in cuba and then venezuela and china and south and north korea we laugh

00:29:43.480 at all these places calling the banana republics with with their judicial system

00:29:47.320 yet i mean we've got corrupt judges running around and there's nothing that

00:29:52.560 can be done about it looking at new york say there is something in his

00:29:56.360 financial disclosures that implicates him against president trump which i

00:30:00.300 wouldn't see see why they're hiding it otherwise who steps in because i mean you

00:30:04.520 can go up the levels in new york to the supreme court and everywhere and it

00:30:08.260 doesn't matter it's run by the democrats it'll keep getting kicked down what can

00:30:11.680 ultimately be done to get this guy the hell out of there

00:30:15.240 well look you know the supreme court reads the papers and that case from judge

00:30:21.560 mershon i think is on a potential rocket path to the supreme court because after the

00:30:27.360 trump vus decision about presidential immunity on july 1st came down yeah it's clear that the

00:30:34.200 whole trial and and the whole case is infected by evidence that violates an exclusionary rule that

00:30:39.840 that trump case created right uh in favor of the president because you know they had hope hicks come 0.98

00:30:45.460 in and testify about statements and and things said inside an oval office meeting that should

00:30:50.780 never come into court just for the audience for them to understand what's going on here

00:30:54.960 what you're saying is the evidence that was taken in from this case and received from this case

00:30:59.200 should have never been found in the first place due to the presidential immunity is that correct

00:31:03.280 yes so the the there's a you know two kinds of presidential immunity to recognize in the trump

00:31:08.760 vus decision absolute immunity for things within the core executive powers and function and then

00:31:14.240 presumptive immunity for everything else out to the outer boundaries of the presidency which is a lot

00:31:19.100 uh it includes like you know the president giving speeches uh even uh but there's also an exclusionary

00:31:25.600 rule that says that any internal discussions within the executive branch uh these these discussions cannot

00:31:33.880 be used as evidence uh and cannot be used to question the motives of the president well that's precisely

00:31:39.880 why they let in this evidence from hope hicks talking about an oval office meeting that infected the

00:31:45.700 whole trial at the very least there needs to be a new trial but it's even worse than that uh in my

00:31:50.640 mind john because that same evidence or some of it would have been put before the grand jury to get the

00:31:56.400 indictment so the entire case is infected it needs to go back to square one and president trump is entitled

00:32:02.560 to an interlocutory appeal on immunity what it what is an interlocutory appeal an interlocutory

00:32:07.600 appeal is an appeal before a final judgment which means that before judge mershon tries to sentence

00:32:13.780 president trump and tries to issue a final judgment to say all right now i'm done with this case you can

00:32:18.400 take it up on appeal he has to get review of the immunity issue and this evidentiary issue i think

00:32:23.840 he's going to try to block out trump from that on september 16th and then trump can go up i think he's

00:32:30.020 probably going to quickly find himself in front of the supreme court and he's going to say what gives

00:32:33.460 i'm supposed to get an interlocutory appeal and the new york you know judges won't give it to me

00:32:38.020 and you know i think the supreme court's going to be flabbergasted by that and i think they're going to

00:32:42.760 give him that stay so what you're saying is before trump is is sentenced on the 18th uh there'll be

00:32:49.620 a point at which he'll ask uh you know where's my immunity here do you think it gets to the point

00:32:55.580 where mershon actually sentences him on that date it's possible i've seen some speculation which is

00:33:02.200 interesting because this ties also to president trump's recent re-removal of the case from the state

00:33:08.840 court to federal court which judge hellerstein rejected the the removal statute for federal

00:33:15.460 officers like president trump says that judgment cannot be entered essentially before the removal

00:33:21.500 dust clears and so you know some have suggested that juan mershon may try to uh finesse that by

00:33:28.900 basically announcing a sentence but not entering judgment so that he can get the effect of blacking up

00:33:34.780 president trump without actually doing something that violates the removal statute so you know

00:33:40.040 there's a lot of moving parts in play on this john we got to stay tuned the dates of of september 16th

00:33:46.660 when mershon is supposed to rule on the immunity argument and the 918 sentencing date those are the

00:33:51.600 two dates to watch very very interesting is it possible that he gets sentenced on the 18th and we'll say

00:33:58.780 worst case scenario he sentences him to jail will he proceed to jail that day or will he be able to

00:34:05.200 enter his appeal immediately and and stay out uh i think that that it's possible that he could be

00:34:12.160 ordered to jail just to create some kind of like fiasco explosion right but i would i would predict that

00:34:18.160 if that happens john you know the the supreme court he blocks that and orders him released within 24

00:34:24.960 hours or 36 hours because he does he is entitled to an interlocutory appeal under superseding supreme

00:34:34.220 federal law that is you know something that the state can't ignore and you know i just don't see

00:34:40.540 how you know mershon's going to really get around that i think he's going to try he's supposed to rule 0.95

00:34:45.100 again on the immunity on 916 two days before he does the sentencing this this guy's corrupt as hell i want 0.96

00:34:51.660 to wrap up with this another man that's corrupt as hell you had mentioned the word tainted another 0.59

00:34:55.600 case that's clearly tainted is the the case in uh dc uh the uh january 6th case that jack smith 0.81

00:35:03.040 has brought against president trump once again since the immunity case uh this week he was in a dc

00:35:08.100 courtroom uh re-delivering that case as i said earlier in the show he's he's introduced new evidence

00:35:14.700 um it's so confidential that trump's lawyers are not even allowed to see it the former president who's got

00:35:20.360 top secret security clearance isn't allowed to see it why would jack smith be withholding evidence

00:35:25.600 why wouldn't he have filed it the first time there's no new documents he's taken since he's

00:35:29.720 indicted president trump the first time he's presumably had all his minions run through

00:35:34.300 every single document that was at mar-a-lago including newspaper clippings and whatever other

00:35:40.180 papers president trump kept is he allowed to do that what do you presume is in that document

00:35:45.460 well i think it's pure sandbagging and i think that he's also uh according to the reports of what

00:35:52.560 happened in the courtroom today in the hearing in front of judge chutkin been allowed to do something

00:35:56.780 that i think is really uh you know unprecedented which is the case comes back on remand from the

00:36:03.300 court from the same trump vus decision we've been talking about right and judge chutkins she wants to 0.62

00:36:09.100 rush and basically get to even an evidentiary hearing or some kind of ruling on immunity as soon

00:36:14.060 as possible and jack smith says oh hold on you know hold your horses we're still still doing

00:36:19.080 consultations inside the department and then what you know he wasn't you know i'm sure he was doing

00:36:24.800 some consultations but the main reason he wanted that break was because he was getting a superseding

00:36:30.280 indictment from a new grand jury so he comes in he gets a superseding indictment from the new grand jury

00:36:36.280 he files it against trump well at that point right that's his move in the chess game

00:36:41.160 what he's really trying to do is get two moves so now what he wants is and apparently judge

00:36:46.620 chutkin's going to give him is he's like okay i move out my pawn and now i'm also moving out my bishop

00:36:51.720 because i want to be able to file a brief that explains why my new indictment is consistent with

00:36:57.400 the limitations in the trump vus immunity decision and that you know uh president trump's lawyer you know

00:37:03.100 john lauro is like wait wait wait what what gives here you issued a new indictment now it's black's 0.76

00:37:08.020 move right now it's our turn to move and you know to counter your move and we would do that by filing

00:37:13.240 a motion to dismiss that's how this ordinarily proceeds you're you're turning the procedural

00:37:17.820 uh posture here totally upside down to give them the advantage of two moves in a row that's wrong judge 0.96

00:37:23.660 and i think you know john laura is totally right about that but you know judge chutkin she hasn't been

00:37:29.060 kind to president trump and she purports that this case is not election related i mean you can't even say

00:37:34.100 that with a straight face right but that's what she's doing and that's what president trump's got 0.92

00:37:38.120 to deal with at this point you know they've had more evidence than i think any case in the history

00:37:42.040 from january 6th i mean all you got to do is like go on youtube and listen to president trump's speech

00:37:46.860 about it being a rigged election last i checked it was under the presidential uh president's duties

00:37:53.020 to make sure that this country has free and fair elections i don't think you can make this stuff up

00:37:57.880 whether it's mershant uh jack smith alvin bragg these people are all and they look like evil

00:38:04.740 villains from like a bad movie and i really hope that this is just a bad dream and we'll all wake

00:38:09.520 up from it very soon jeff clark you're a great american thanks for everything you do uh and thanks
