Trump is the first sitting president ever to be charged with a crime for keeping documents from his time in office. He has pled not guilty and is defiant in a defiant speech later that night. But the rest of the Republican field is silent on the matter.
00:00:00.000President Trump was arraigned yesterday at a Miami federal courthouse.
00:00:04.300He is the first president ever indicted on federal charges. 37 charges, in this case,
00:00:10.820all related to having kept papers from his time in office. Trump, unsurprisingly,
00:00:17.320pled not guilty and was defiant in his speech later that night.
00:00:22.120Today we witness the most evil and heinous abuse of power in the history of our country.
00:00:27.400A very sad thing to watch. A corrupt sitting president had his top political opponent
00:00:33.880arrested on fake and fabricated charges of which he and numerous other presidents would be guilty
00:00:40.320right in the middle of a presidential election in which he is losing very badly.
00:00:49.840This is called election interference in yet another attempt to rig and steal a presidential election.
00:00:56.200More importantly, it's a political persecution like something straight out of a fascist or communist nation.
00:01:05.180This day will go down in infamy and Joe Biden will forever be remembered as not only the most corrupt president
00:01:11.560in the history of our country, but perhaps even more importantly, the president who together with a band of his closest,
00:01:18.860I hope so. The whole situation is absurd. A former president who happens to be the chief political rival of the current president indicted for the first time in history by said sitting president,
00:01:46.780by his justice department, for improperly storing documents, a supposed crime which the sitting president himself was recently caught having committed.
00:01:55.420Doesn't make any sense. Right. It doesn't have to make sense. It's not about making sense.
00:02:04.060It's kind of like the leftist sexual politics. The leftist sexual politics goes something like this.
00:02:11.980Women are oppressed and entitled to special treatment unless it's more convenient for women not to exist at all because men can become women.
00:02:19.960Unless it's more convenient for sexuality to be innate and immutable because people are born this way.
00:02:25.900Unless, unless, unless whatever new idea arises to let us take more power. That's it.
00:02:33.740That's the pride ideology in a nutshell. That is leftist politics.
00:02:38.200Mishandling classified documents is not a big deal. It's just some emails. It's just some boxes next to Joe Biden's Corvette.
00:02:46.340It's not a big deal at all unless it's convenient for it to be a big deal.
00:02:51.300In which case, we're going to imprison Joe Biden's chief rival and watch him die in prison.
00:02:57.020We all want to make sense of it. I know I'm as guilty of this as anyone else.
00:03:02.400We're just trying to say, what's the logic? If only we could show them that the logic isn't there.
00:03:07.580But there is no sense to be made of it.
00:03:11.420The liberals are wielding political power to punish their enemies.
00:03:15.400And they are making up the political philosophy and the legal doctrines to justify it as they go along.
00:03:22.160Trump once said that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose a single vote.
00:05:04.900We have sent this letter, and I'm happy to announce, this is my commitment on January 20th, 2025,
00:05:15.120if I'm elected the next U.S. president, to pardon Donald J. Trump for these offenses in this federal case.
00:05:23.820And I have challenged, I have demanded that every other candidate in this race either sign this commitment to pardon on January 20th, 2025,
00:07:19.820Other candidates could win, but right now it's Trump's nomination to lose.
00:07:23.640But the argument from those pundits and donors and establishment types, who I think are more sincere, is, hey, don't let the Democrats force us into picking a nominee that we don't want to pick.
00:07:36.640Look, Trump can't win again, and maybe some other candidate can win again.
00:07:40.420So the Democrats are going to try to make us pick Trump, and we shouldn't give it to them.
00:07:44.060And they're going to bait us into picking Trump by indicting him and by threatening to throw him in prison over a bunch of nonsense.
00:11:13.500He didn't succeed all that much as the Speaker of the House.
00:11:17.620He seemed to sideline certain conservative priorities.
00:11:20.580As the GOP moved away from being the party of big business and Wall Street and moved back toward being more of the party of the people and the American nation and culture and borders and tradition and conserving things beyond a slightly ticking up GDP number,
00:11:41.120And now Paul Ryan is being asked what he believes about the current Republican priorities, namely to stop our kids from being transed in schools, protect women's sports, protect women's rights broadly, these cultural issues.
00:14:19.260You're focused on whether your kid is going to come home one day and chop his genitals off, pump himself full of poison, sterilize himself, kill off your family line.
00:14:29.860I mean, I'm trying to talk about important stuff, like how we can import even cheaper electronics from China.
00:14:55.720Like in the old classical sense of the word, Paul Ryan is interested in improving material conditions for people.
00:15:03.760Liberalism is a political philosophy, a political order, comes in after the Peace of Westphalia, after the concurrent with the rise of the modern nation state, takes off during the Enlightenment.
00:15:21.400And it says, hey, on the big important questions, who is God?
00:15:44.960The only thing that the political order can aspire to do is maintain some degree of peace, even if it has to do so in a way that would be called tyrannical.
00:16:04.820Just agree to disagree on everything other than how to make another buck and other than how to basically keep the peace so that we can keep making another buck.
00:16:13.100And that's what Paul Ryan's saying he wants to do.
00:16:16.840Paul Ryan won't even answer the question, what is a woman?
