00:00:30.440 So do you remember those two FBI agents
00:00:32.820 who had worked on the Mueller investigation
00:00:34.720 and openly talked about an insurance policy
00:00:38.140 to undo the election in case Trump won?
00:00:40.820 So it turns out the FBI lost all of their text messages
00:00:44.640 from December 2016
00:00:46.140 all the way up until precisely the day
00:00:48.500 before the Mueller investigation began.
00:00:50.960 Whoops.
00:00:51.660 We'll analyze the seemingly endless,
00:00:54.220 innocent little old coincidences
00:00:55.640 and why the government needs to find the texts
00:00:58.260 or fire Mueller.
00:00:59.640 Then, conservative leaders Steve Lonegan
00:01:01.540 and Vincent Buta
00:01:03.060 join the panel of deplorables
00:01:04.420 to discuss whether there's any hope
00:01:06.100 for a DACA deal,
00:01:07.300 what the Turpin House of Horrors
00:01:08.980 means for homeschooling,
00:01:10.320 and the new CNN poll
00:01:11.840 that shows Biden, Bernie, and Oprah
00:01:14.060 all leading Trump in 2020.
00:01:16.560 I wonder if that poll is like
00:01:17.920 all the other CNN polls
00:01:19.060 that had Hillary crushing Trump in 2016.
00:01:21.600 We'll find out.
00:01:22.240 I'm Michael Knowles.
00:01:22.880 This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:01:23.760 Before we get started today,
00:01:32.860 just a shameless personal plug.
00:01:34.480 The Oscar nominations are out.
00:01:36.000 I'm not going to talk about them
00:01:37.200 because no one has seen any of the movies
00:01:39.300 that were nominated.
00:01:40.400 I've missed about half of them,
00:01:41.880 and I live in Hollywood
00:01:42.920 and am in this industry.
00:01:44.800 So I'm not going to talk about that.
00:01:46.780 What I will talk about, though,
00:01:48.080 is good culture, actual culture,
00:01:50.640 not these ridiculous movies
00:01:51.980 that no one goes and sees
00:01:53.100 and then Hollywood gives each other
00:01:54.860 golden statues for it.
00:01:56.020 I mean, actual culture
00:01:57.720 that Hollywood can't stop
00:01:59.440 and gatekeepers can't stop.
00:02:00.880 So Andrew Klavan and I
00:02:01.740 have just completed
00:02:02.840 Another Kingdom,
00:02:04.480 which is a narrative podcast.
00:02:06.720 It's fairly innovative.
00:02:07.580 I don't think anything like it
00:02:08.760 has ever come out on the right,
00:02:10.840 if at all,
00:02:11.560 if on either side
00:02:12.240 of the philosophical spectrum.
00:02:14.960 And it's a great story
00:02:16.640 about a 30-year-old Hollywood schlub
00:02:19.000 who can't get a job in Hollywood.
00:02:21.080 I'm not sure why
00:02:21.900 he would ever cast me.
00:02:22.820 I have no idea.
00:02:23.940 And he walks through a portal
00:02:25.100 into another kingdom,
00:02:26.220 and he's in another dimension
00:02:27.920 with damsels and ogres
00:02:29.980 and a bloody dagger
00:02:30.980 and a dead woman at his feet.
00:02:33.080 I know it sounds like Hollywood,
00:02:34.740 but that's actually
00:02:35.480 The Other Kingdom.
00:02:36.700 So this has been
00:02:38.080 a 13-part series.
00:02:39.580 It's been a lot of fun.
00:02:40.300 I'm performing all of the roles.
00:02:41.520 Andrew Klavan wrote it.
00:02:42.560 It's called Another Kingdom.
00:02:43.980 Please go check it out.
00:02:45.020 Right now you can binge
00:02:45.880 the whole thing.
00:02:46.740 So if you want to just set it on,
00:02:48.220 and you're on a long car ride,
00:02:49.500 you just can play them
00:02:50.300 right in a row,
00:02:51.080 feel free to do that.
00:02:51.880 We really appreciate it.
00:02:52.700 Leave us a five-star review
00:02:53.820 that helps us out.
00:02:55.380 A lot of Hollywood production houses
00:02:57.060 and studios have called us about it.
00:02:59.900 And then the night before the meeting,
00:03:01.960 they Google Andrew Klavan,
00:03:03.240 and then the meeting is terrible.
00:03:04.860 So we want to force it
00:03:05.820 down their throats
00:03:06.360 and put a stick in their eye.
00:03:07.860 So please go do it.
00:03:08.740 It's Another Kingdom.
00:03:09.960 Andrew Klavan's Another Kingdom.
00:03:11.140 You can get it anywhere.
00:03:12.640 Fine narrative podcasts
00:03:14.740 by conservatives
00:03:15.640 in bloody, daggered clothing.
00:03:17.960 Anywhere you can download those,
00:03:19.120 that's where you get it.
00:03:19.840 Okay, let's get into some politics.
00:03:21.820 It sure looks like the fix was in
00:03:23.540 in 2016.
00:03:25.560 New documents show a lot of collusion
00:03:27.380 in the 2016 presidential campaign.
00:03:29.880 Not collusion with Trump
00:03:31.100 and Vladimir or Boris or Natasha,
00:03:33.340 but between Democrats
00:03:34.420 and Barack Obama's
00:03:35.560 corrupt administrative agencies.
00:03:37.480 These texts and documents
00:03:38.780 and deleted texts
00:03:39.720 and classified documents
00:03:40.920 are all fairly confusing.
00:03:42.640 So let's go through it carefully
00:03:43.740 and get a broad view
00:03:44.980 because this is what
00:03:45.800 they're counting on.
00:03:46.720 Democrats are counting
00:03:47.640 on this issue
00:03:48.440 being so confusing,
00:03:49.860 so opaque,
00:03:50.760 the timeline is so unclear,
00:03:52.400 it was so long ago,
00:03:54.060 that Americans will just
00:03:55.000 throw up their hands
00:03:55.780 and ignore what seems
00:03:57.540 from every indication
00:03:58.840 to be rank corruption.
00:04:01.020 This all begins
00:04:01.880 with two FBI agents,
00:04:03.360 Peter Strzok,
00:04:05.020 and that name, by the way,
00:04:05.900 is spelled Strzokokok,
00:04:07.380 or something.
00:04:07.760 It's got like 15 vowels
00:04:09.720 and, or 15 consonants
00:04:11.760 in it rather,
00:04:12.500 Peter Strzokok,
00:04:13.820 and Lisa Page.
00:04:14.960 Strzok helped lead
00:04:16.200 the FBI's investigation
00:04:17.280 into Hillary Clinton's
00:04:18.380 private email server
00:04:19.320 and he was involved
00:04:20.260 in opening the investigation
00:04:21.380 into Russian meddling
00:04:22.780 in the 2016 presidential election.
00:04:25.140 He was reassigned
00:04:26.000 off of Mueller's team
00:04:27.060 to HR duty
00:04:28.020 when text messages
00:04:29.640 turned up
00:04:30.200 demonstrating him
00:04:31.260 clearly colluding
00:04:32.040 with other FBI officials
00:04:33.420 to sabotage Trump's campaign
00:04:35.660 from within the government.
00:04:36.760 Strzokok was the number two
00:04:38.480 official in counterintelligence
00:04:39.960 and the leading Russia expert.
00:04:42.380 He was sleeping
00:04:43.000 with another FBI agent,
00:04:44.460 Lisa Page,
00:04:45.220 because it's Washington, D.C.,
00:04:46.580 so of course he was sleeping
00:04:47.580 with this other FBI agent.
00:04:48.940 His girlfriend
00:04:49.480 and co-conspirator,
00:04:50.480 Lisa Page,
00:04:51.160 was also on the Mueller team
00:04:52.360 before returning to the FBI,
00:04:54.000 but she had finished
00:04:54.860 her assignment already
00:04:55.760 before all of these texts
00:04:56.800 came out,
00:04:57.400 so she didn't have
00:04:58.140 the opportunity to be fired.
00:04:59.760 The day after President Trump
00:05:01.120 was elected president,
00:05:02.260 Strzok and Page
00:05:03.280 texted about a secret society
00:05:05.920 within the Department of Justice
00:05:07.560 and the FBI
00:05:08.320 working against Trump.
00:05:09.960 Working Against
00:05:10.940 the Democratically Elected President.
00:05:12.840 Those are the exact words.
00:05:13.720 Secret society.
00:05:14.820 Here's House Oversight Chairman
00:05:15.960 Trey Gowdy
00:05:16.460 on the recent findings.
00:05:17.960 We need to know
00:05:18.860 a couple of things.
00:05:19.620 Number one,
00:05:19.980 we need to know
00:05:20.580 how the world's
00:05:21.260 premier law enforcement agency
00:05:22.660 managed to lose
00:05:23.700 five months' worth of texts.
00:05:25.180 And what's also troubling
00:05:26.440 is in the texts we do have,
00:05:28.120 they're discussing
00:05:28.840 how to avoid texts
00:05:30.120 being captured and secured.
00:05:32.320 So what's missing
00:05:33.920 is important,
00:05:35.020 but also what's there
00:05:36.280 is important.
00:05:36.920 It is manifest bias,
00:05:38.860 not just against Trump,
00:05:40.420 but against his kids,
00:05:41.980 against his business interests.
00:05:43.480 There's a text
00:05:44.100 where they hope
00:05:44.680 the Trump Hotel fails.
00:05:46.920 That is a level of bias
00:05:48.320 that you rarely see
00:05:49.540 and you never see
00:05:50.240 from law enforcement officers.
00:05:52.020 What's also troubling to me
00:05:53.600 is this text
00:05:54.580 that Johnny Radcliffe
00:05:55.380 found last night
00:05:56.360 about this secret society.
00:05:58.920 Now, I have no clue
00:05:59.940 what that means
00:06:00.680 because that was not
00:06:01.420 the phraseology I used,
00:06:03.240 but it's the day
00:06:04.040 after the election
00:06:05.000 and it's the same two people
00:06:06.960 that we're discussing
00:06:08.180 a little bit later
00:06:09.940 in the text
00:06:10.780 the damage they had done
00:06:12.320 with the Clinton investigation
00:06:13.680 and how they could,
00:06:15.480 quote, fix it
00:06:16.440 and make it right.
00:06:18.360 That is a level of bias
00:06:19.980 that is stunning
00:06:21.500 among the law enforcement officers.
00:06:23.100 Congressman Rod...
00:06:24.000 So there may have been
00:06:24.900 a secret society
00:06:26.180 within the DOJ and FBI
00:06:27.940 working against Trump,
00:06:29.480 including Page and Strzok.
00:06:31.040 You'll remember
00:06:32.060 the first text exchange
00:06:33.520 that set off
00:06:34.140 all of these questions
00:06:35.000 about whether the FBI
00:06:36.340 and the DOJ
00:06:37.060 were biased against Trump
00:06:38.340 from the beginning.
00:06:39.120 If this entire investigation
00:06:40.840 into Trump
00:06:41.620 was just a ruse
00:06:42.520 to route him out of office.
00:06:43.720 If it was funded
00:06:44.380 by Hillary Clinton
00:06:45.260 and the Democrat Party.
00:06:46.700 The first text,
00:06:47.840 which came out in December,
00:06:49.340 was sent in August 2016
00:06:51.580 in the final months
00:06:52.940 of the 2016 presidential election.
00:06:55.020 Strzok wrote to Page,
00:06:56.080 quote,
00:06:57.240 I want to believe
00:06:58.140 the path you threw out
00:06:59.200 for consideration
00:07:00.000 that there's no way
00:07:01.320 he gets elected.
00:07:02.280 But I'm afraid
00:07:02.960 we can't take that risk.
00:07:05.020 It's like an insurance policy
00:07:06.580 in the unlikely event
00:07:08.220 you die before you're 40.
00:07:10.180 It's like an insurance policy.
00:07:11.680 What is it?
00:07:13.080 Is it referring
00:07:14.220 to the investigation
00:07:15.200 and to Russian interference?
00:07:16.700 Is it referring
00:07:18.060 to the Obama administration's
00:07:19.580 pretext for spying
00:07:21.120 on the Trump campaign,
00:07:22.240 which we know he did?
00:07:23.860 What is it?
00:07:24.640 What is the insurance policy?
00:07:25.960 By the way,
00:07:26.900 Andy here refers
00:07:28.080 to Deputy FBI Director
00:07:29.460 Andy McCade.
00:07:30.600 So it appears
00:07:31.780 whatever political dealings
00:07:33.280 in government
00:07:33.780 they're talking about
00:07:34.820 go all the way up
00:07:35.980 to the uppermost echelons
00:07:37.580 of the FBI.
00:07:39.000 Trump himself
00:07:39.680 called this exchange
00:07:40.440 treason,
00:07:41.100 and he's right.
00:07:41.960 This is an attempt
00:07:43.060 of the bureaucracy
00:07:43.800 to subvert
00:07:44.900 our democratic republic.
00:07:46.360 I had the privilege
00:07:47.040 of speaking to
00:07:47.840 Antonin Scalia
00:07:48.580 about the federal bureaucracy
00:07:50.620 before he died.
00:07:51.580 I said,
00:07:51.800 what's the greatest threat
00:07:52.560 to freedom in America,
00:07:54.220 to the republic?
00:07:54.740 He said the unaccountable
00:07:56.680 executive agencies,
00:07:57.920 the federal bureaucracies,
00:07:58.920 the greatest threat
00:07:59.440 to liberty.
00:08:00.100 We might be seeing
00:08:00.680 that play out.
00:08:01.680 Strzok's flags insist
00:08:03.620 that the insurance policy
00:08:04.960 reference was meant
00:08:06.100 to convey that the FBI
00:08:07.860 needed to thoroughly
00:08:08.940 and lawfully investigate
00:08:10.520 any improper interference
00:08:12.420 in the election.
00:08:13.160 You know,
00:08:14.060 just do our job very well.
00:08:16.000 Give me a break.
00:08:16.980 The implication then,
00:08:18.360 if that's the case,
00:08:19.700 the implication is that
00:08:20.620 the FBI typically
00:08:21.500 doesn't do its job.
00:08:22.700 Is that what Strzok
00:08:23.300 is saying?
00:08:23.720 The FBI doesn't normally
00:08:25.080 do its job,
00:08:26.080 so to get the FBI
00:08:26.980 to do its job
00:08:27.860 would be an insurance policy
00:08:29.400 in the unthinking event
00:08:31.060 that the,
00:08:32.080 in the unthinkable event,
00:08:33.260 rather,
00:08:33.560 that the American people
00:08:34.660 elect the president
00:08:35.940 of their choice?
00:08:37.360 So even if Strzok's account
00:08:38.860 were credible,
00:08:39.660 and it's not,
00:08:40.480 the implication would be
00:08:41.580 that the FBI
00:08:42.160 is so hopelessly partisan
00:08:43.420 and corrupt
00:08:44.100 that the FBI's following the law
00:08:45.820 and doing its job
00:08:46.580 would be out of the ordinary.
00:08:47.720 But then again,
00:08:48.780 Strzok's account
00:08:49.340 is not credible.
00:08:50.520 Strzok shot back
00:08:51.700 through his attorney
00:08:52.400 who said,
00:08:52.920 quote,
00:08:53.720 it is beyond reckless
00:08:54.840 for the president
00:08:55.620 of the United States
00:08:56.420 to accuse Pete Strzok,
00:08:57.860 a man who has devoted
00:08:59.060 his entire adult life
00:09:00.620 to defending this country
00:09:02.200 of treason.
00:09:03.180 Can we get Ben in
00:09:03.880 to play the violin
00:09:04.760 for this absurd,
00:09:06.700 corrupt hack?
00:09:07.700 It should surprise no one
00:09:09.180 that the president
00:09:10.380 has both the facts
00:09:11.520 and the law wrong.
00:09:12.400 Is that right,
00:09:12.900 Mr. Strzok?
00:09:13.500 Or rather,
00:09:14.440 Mr. Strzok's lawyer,
00:09:15.720 because Mr. Strzok
00:09:16.640 won't say anything on record
00:09:17.800 because he was caught red-handed
00:09:19.180 conspiring with the Democrats
00:09:22.200 to overturn an American
00:09:23.280 presidential election.
00:09:24.960 Strzok, by the way,
00:09:25.900 has retained all-star lawyer
00:09:27.140 David Boise.
00:09:28.820 That's Harvey Weinstein's lawyer.
00:09:30.740 He's one of the most
00:09:31.180 expensive lawyers in D.C.
00:09:32.960 Interesting that he would be able
00:09:34.520 to retain someone
00:09:35.300 so expensive
00:09:36.020 on an FBI salary.
00:09:37.560 Because, you know,
00:09:37.940 he gave his whole life
00:09:38.900 just to serve his country.
00:09:40.280 He's just a faithful
00:09:41.180 public servant, isn't he?
00:09:42.220 But somehow he can afford
00:09:43.240 the most expensive lawyer
00:09:44.180 in the country
00:09:44.740 to defend him
00:09:45.640 against these charges
00:09:47.060 of corruption,
00:09:48.080 gross corruption,
00:09:49.320 subverting
00:09:49.800 a Democratic election.
00:09:51.940 So this guy,
00:09:53.020 the lawyer,
00:09:53.860 is worth pointing out.
00:09:55.500 He is from the same firm
00:09:56.400 as Karen Dunn,
00:09:57.520 who was slated
00:09:58.100 to become Hillary's
00:09:58.940 White House counsel
00:09:59.760 had she defeated
00:10:00.720 Donald Trump.
00:10:01.320 I just want to point that out.
00:10:02.260 I'm not making any allegations.
00:10:04.060 Just pointing out
00:10:05.040 that strange coincidence.
00:10:06.200 So that's what's reckless.
00:10:08.120 Now we have an investigation
00:10:09.600 apparently triggered
00:10:10.480 by a senior FBI official
00:10:11.940 who is desperately
00:10:12.980 opposed to Trump
00:10:13.980 who refers in a text
00:10:15.400 to his colleague
00:10:16.480 and lover,
00:10:17.740 same colleague slash lover,
00:10:19.320 another senior FBI official,
00:10:20.840 to an insurance policy,
00:10:22.460 a fail safe,
00:10:23.320 to take Trump out
00:10:24.400 in the event
00:10:25.000 the American people
00:10:25.920 actually elect him.
00:10:27.040 An insurance policy
00:10:28.080 that was apparently
00:10:28.960 cooked up in the office
00:10:30.080 of the deputy director
00:10:31.220 of the FBI.
00:10:32.800 Those privately
00:10:33.740 now uncovered text exchanges
00:10:35.380 also strongly imply
00:10:36.880 that former FBI director
00:10:38.460 James Comey
00:10:39.280 was lying
00:10:40.100 when he insisted
00:10:40.880 that he had not decided
00:10:42.360 against charging Hillary Clinton
00:10:44.340 until after he interviewed her.
00:10:46.600 Here's Comey.
00:10:47.180 Did you make the decision
00:10:49.260 not to recommend
00:10:50.180 criminal charges
00:10:51.100 relating to classified information
00:10:52.700 before or after
00:10:54.340 Hillary Clinton
00:10:55.360 was interviewed
00:10:55.800 by the FBI
00:10:56.440 on July the 2nd?
00:10:57.980 After.
00:10:58.800 All I can do
00:10:59.480 is tell you again,
00:11:00.280 the decision was made
00:11:01.200 after that
00:11:02.060 because I didn't know
00:11:03.640 what was going to happen
00:11:04.240 in that interview.
00:11:05.620 Is that right, James?
00:11:06.480 That's right.
00:11:06.740 Now, you know,
00:11:07.300 someone would lie
00:11:09.480 this brazenly
00:11:10.460 while testifying
00:11:12.540 only if he thinks
00:11:14.160 there's no way
00:11:14.760 he's going to get caught.
00:11:15.780 There's no,
00:11:16.100 it's just a little,
00:11:16.640 of course I made
00:11:17.240 the decision afterward.
00:11:18.400 That's just a thing
00:11:19.140 that politicians would say.
00:11:21.080 Unfortunately,
00:11:21.700 here it looks like
00:11:22.260 he got caught.
00:11:22.980 The text suggests otherwise
00:11:25.480 other than his testimony.
00:11:27.820 When Obama's attorney general,
00:11:29.160 Loretta Lynch,
00:11:30.160 stated that she would accept
00:11:31.680 whatever recommendation
00:11:33.180 the FBI made
00:11:34.240 regarding the prosecution
00:11:35.320 of Hillary Clinton,
00:11:36.560 Page wrote,
00:11:37.320 quote,
00:11:37.460 this is a purposeful leak
00:11:39.180 following the airplane snafu.
00:11:41.680 Purposeful leak.
00:11:42.300 Of course,
00:11:42.540 we all knew it was.
00:11:43.600 And the airplane snafu
00:11:44.660 was when Bill Clinton
00:11:46.000 met privately
00:11:46.720 with Loretta Lynch
00:11:47.540 on an airplane,
00:11:48.520 presumably to pressure her
00:11:49.620 to let Hillary off the hook.
00:11:50.960 Maybe he threatened
00:11:51.580 to suicide her
00:11:52.460 if she didn't.
00:11:53.140 No, I'm kidding.
00:11:53.740 That's a joke.
00:11:54.280 Am I?
00:11:54.580 I don't know.
00:11:55.420 Now, who knows what they said?
00:11:57.560 I don't know.
00:11:57.760 I wasn't there.
00:11:58.440 But in any case,
00:11:59.140 Strzok replied,
00:11:59.960 quote,
00:12:00.540 timing looks like hell
00:12:01.700 will appear to be choreographed.
00:12:04.640 Yeah.
00:12:05.380 Yep.
00:12:05.700 It looks choreographed.
00:12:07.040 It's true.
00:12:08.100 I wonder why it looks
00:12:09.040 so choreographed.
00:12:10.280 But then Page replied,
00:12:11.360 quote,
00:12:12.320 yeah,
00:12:12.620 it's a real profile in courage
00:12:14.260 since she knows
00:12:15.660 no charges will be brought.
00:12:17.700 Since Loretta Lynch,
00:12:18.800 Obama's attorney general,
00:12:19.840 knows no charges
00:12:20.860 will be brought.
00:12:21.880 That exchange is
00:12:22.680 from July 1st.
00:12:24.040 Hmm.
00:12:25.080 Hillary Clinton
00:12:25.760 was interviewed
00:12:26.600 by the FBI
00:12:27.220 on July 2nd.
00:12:29.140 July 1st,
00:12:29.980 July 2nd.
00:12:30.420 I'm no mathematician,
00:12:31.740 but I'm pretty sure
00:12:32.500 July 1st
00:12:33.260 comes before July 2nd,
00:12:34.880 which means we have a text
00:12:35.800 from the day before
00:12:36.760 her interview asserting
00:12:39.240 that everybody,
00:12:40.220 including Loretta Lynch
00:12:41.140 and James Comey,
00:12:42.180 knew at least the day
00:12:43.480 before Hillary's interview
00:12:44.560 that they would never charge her.
00:12:47.140 So it looks like
00:12:47.980 there was collusion after all.
00:12:49.140 Not between Trump and Khrushchev
00:12:50.840 or whatever nonsense
00:12:51.700 they're alleging now,
00:12:52.580 but between Barack Obama's
00:12:53.800 corrupt administration
00:12:54.740 with its various
00:12:55.800 unaccountable bureaucratic agencies
00:12:57.580 and the Hillary Clinton campaign
00:12:59.360 for president.
00:13:00.240 In light of all of this
00:13:01.920 and calls from senior members
00:13:03.100 of both parties,
00:13:04.180 including Senate Minority Leader
00:13:06.260 Chuck Schumer,
00:13:07.380 to fire James Comey,
00:13:08.780 Trump fired James Comey.
00:13:10.620 James Comey was let go,
00:13:12.820 for which he is now
00:13:14.020 being investigated
00:13:14.740 for obstruction of justice.
00:13:17.220 Now, Trump summed this up
00:13:18.440 well to the Wall Street Journal.
00:13:19.580 He said,
00:13:20.180 of course there was
00:13:20.920 no obstruction.
00:13:21.880 There was no crime.
00:13:22.900 They make up a crime
00:13:23.800 and the crime doesn't exist
00:13:25.100 and then they say obstruction.
00:13:26.980 Everybody wanted Comey fired,
00:13:28.340 I should be given credit
00:13:29.340 for having great insight.
00:13:31.420 Absolutely right.
00:13:32.320 Also pretty funny,
00:13:33.360 but also right.
00:13:34.920 Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein,
00:13:36.560 ranking member
00:13:37.120 of the Judiciary Committee,
00:13:38.380 has admitted they have
00:13:39.160 no evidence of collusion
00:13:40.300 between Trump and Putin
00:13:41.700 or Stalin or Brezhnev
00:13:42.820 or whatever.
00:13:43.540 All-star Democrat
00:13:44.500 Flack Van Jones
00:13:45.340 admits what?
00:13:46.580 What's going to happen
00:13:47.140 this week?
00:13:47.620 I mean,
00:13:47.800 with the whole Russia thing.
00:13:49.860 The Russia thing
00:13:50.480 is just a big nothing burger.
00:13:51.780 Really?
00:13:53.120 That's right.
00:13:53.960 That's right.
00:13:54.360 The Russia thing
00:13:55.020 is just a big nothing burger.
00:13:56.440 Even one of the most prominent
00:13:57.740 Democrat messengers
00:13:58.600 in the country
00:13:59.220 admits it's a big nothing burger.
00:14:01.200 But that's why
00:14:02.020 corrupt Democrats
00:14:02.760 and their counterparts
00:14:03.520 in the U.S. government,
00:14:04.840 bureaucrats so convinced
00:14:06.080 they can run our lives
00:14:07.400 better than we can run
00:14:08.340 them ourselves,
00:14:09.740 that they would subvert
00:14:10.860 a free and fair election.
00:14:12.100 That's why they needed
00:14:12.840 an insurance policy.
00:14:14.380 So now,
00:14:14.840 how about the cherry on top?
00:14:16.160 What's the cherry on top
00:14:17.320 of the nothing burger?
00:14:18.440 Or of the nothing burger Sunday?
00:14:19.860 I'm mixing metaphors,
00:14:20.700 aren't I?
00:14:20.980 Whatever.
00:14:21.180 The DOJ has just announced
00:14:23.060 five months worth
00:14:24.260 of text exchanges
00:14:25.260 between Strzok and Page,
00:14:27.060 upwards of 50,000 text messages
00:14:29.280 between December 14, 2016
00:14:31.480 and May 17, 2017,
00:14:34.000 the day before Mueller
00:14:35.380 was appointed special counsel.
00:14:37.200 One day before Mueller
00:14:39.040 was appointed special counsel.
00:14:41.120 Those texts have just gone missing.
00:14:43.560 First of all,
00:14:44.360 before we get into
00:14:45.120 the meat of this,
00:14:45.980 what self-respecting man
00:14:47.240 exchanges 50,000 text messages
00:14:49.060 with his girlfriend?
00:14:50.080 I text sweet little Elisa
00:14:51.620 once every 10 days at most,
00:14:53.380 and then it is only to comment
00:14:54.960 on how delicious
00:14:55.880 whatever lunch she made
00:14:57.600 for me that day is.
00:14:59.240 But then sweet little Elisa
00:15:00.340 and I aren't colluding
00:15:01.340 to undo a presidential election,
00:15:03.420 so I guess we have
00:15:04.060 a lot less to text about.
00:15:05.640 And now the texts
00:15:06.380 are all gone.
00:15:07.180 Whoops, whoops.
00:15:08.240 What are the odds?
00:15:09.080 What a coincidence
00:15:09.820 that the text messages
00:15:11.560 between two FBI agents
00:15:13.200 who openly boast
00:15:14.380 about trying to sabotage
00:15:15.480 the democratically elected president
00:15:16.940 and overturn the election,
00:15:18.400 they all just went missing
00:15:19.360 from the transition period
00:15:20.840 through the appointment
00:15:21.460 of the special counsel
00:15:22.420 whose investigation
00:15:23.540 they both worked on.
00:15:25.660 Here is how the DOJ explained it.
00:15:27.580 They said, quote,
00:15:28.860 The department wants
00:15:30.100 to bring to your attention
00:15:30.840 that the FBI's technical system
00:15:32.380 for retaining text messages
00:15:33.700 sent and received
00:15:34.700 on FBI mobile devices
00:15:36.480 failed to preserve text messages
00:15:38.860 for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page
00:15:40.860 from December 14th
00:15:42.280 to approximately May 17th.
00:15:44.380 Oops.
00:15:45.140 Well, what can you do?
00:15:46.020 What can you do?
00:15:46.920 Sometimes, look,
00:15:47.700 sometimes a technical glitch
00:15:50.280 erases five crucial months
00:15:52.240 of evidence
00:15:52.760 central to the most important issue
00:15:54.740 being investigated
00:15:55.520 by a federal agency.
00:15:57.200 Right?
00:15:57.880 Isn't that just what happens?
00:15:59.640 The devices just didn't sync.
00:16:01.320 A new version of WhatsApp
00:16:02.440 probably just updated.
00:16:04.100 It happens.
00:16:04.900 By the way,
00:16:05.480 by the way,
00:16:06.140 none of that explains
00:16:07.160 why the texts
00:16:07.740 aren't still on the devices themselves.
00:16:09.860 So they're alleging
00:16:10.740 the messages didn't back up
00:16:11.880 to the cloud
00:16:12.460 or the federal cloud
00:16:13.320 or whatever.
00:16:13.780 Okay,
00:16:14.540 why aren't the messages
00:16:15.400 still on the devices?
00:16:16.580 Did the FBI sell the phones
00:16:17.960 on Fiverr
00:16:18.740 for 50 bucks a pop
00:16:20.080 or something like that?
00:16:21.460 The department wants
00:16:22.500 to bring to your attention
00:16:23.500 that the FBI's system
00:16:24.660 of selling old bureau devices
00:16:26.340 on Craigslist
00:16:27.020 to help pay for the Pixel 2
00:16:28.500 failed to preserve text messages
00:16:30.380 for Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page.
00:16:31.940 Got it.
00:16:32.620 By the way,
00:16:33.420 by the way,
00:16:33.900 during the time
00:16:34.560 of the supposed glitch,
00:16:35.700 a few important things happened.
00:16:37.120 This is just the glitch
00:16:37.800 when all the texts went away.
00:16:38.920 Just a few things happened
00:16:39.840 in that period.
00:16:40.440 Oh, and Mr. Strzok
00:16:43.960 might have been texting
00:16:44.760 each other about these things.
00:16:46.100 The publication
00:16:46.820 of the totally unproven
00:16:48.420 anti-Trump fusion GPS dossier
00:16:50.380 funded by Hillary Clinton
00:16:51.780 and the DNC
00:16:52.680 that may have been used
00:16:54.160 as pretext
00:16:54.720 to kick off
00:16:55.260 the whole investigation
00:16:56.020 of Trump and Russia
00:16:56.860 that happened.
00:16:58.500 You know,
00:16:59.100 Democrats possibly
00:16:59.860 bankrolling a government
00:17:00.820 witch hunt
00:17:01.240 of their political opponents.
00:17:02.540 On January 20th,
00:17:03.460 also in that time frame,
00:17:04.580 Trump was sworn into office.
00:17:06.240 On January 24th,
00:17:07.480 Strzok interviewed
00:17:08.240 former Trump advisor
00:17:09.220 Michael Flynn
00:17:09.940 on March 2nd,
00:17:11.120 Jeff Sessions
00:17:11.620 recused himself
00:17:12.580 from any investigations
00:17:13.880 involving the campaign
00:17:14.800 in Russia.
00:17:15.680 On March 4th,
00:17:16.460 Trump predicted
00:17:17.220 correctly, it turns out,
00:17:19.200 that Barack Obama
00:17:20.120 used the government
00:17:20.740 to spy on his campaign.
00:17:22.160 On May 9th,
00:17:23.040 Trump fired James Comey
00:17:24.280 at the encouragement
00:17:25.700 of virtually every politician
00:17:27.380 in the U.S.
00:17:27.980 on both sides of the aisle.
00:17:29.860 And on May 17th,
00:17:31.440 Deputy Attorney General
00:17:32.380 Rod Rosenstein
00:17:33.180 appointed Robert Mueller
00:17:34.300 special counsel
00:17:35.440 to investigate Trump.
00:17:37.220 The FBI
00:17:37.840 only lost text messages
00:17:39.480 from those months.
00:17:41.980 Fox News asked the FBI
00:17:43.080 on Monday
00:17:43.540 whether they had failed
00:17:44.740 to preserve
00:17:45.560 text message records
00:17:46.820 on similar devices
00:17:48.260 belonging to other officials
00:17:49.600 during that time period
00:17:50.540 because the FBI
00:17:51.820 had blamed
00:17:52.320 the Samsung Galaxy 5
00:17:54.440 for failing to sync.
00:17:56.040 And I will tell you something.
00:17:57.020 As the former owner
00:17:57.780 of a Samsung Galaxy 5 phone,
00:18:00.260 that is the only credible claim
00:18:01.740 that the FBI has made
00:18:02.740 during this entire ordeal.
00:18:04.260 That phone is just
00:18:05.180 a piece of trash.
00:18:06.440 Half the time,
00:18:07.080 it doesn't make phone calls.
00:18:08.800 The GPS feature
00:18:09.820 when you're driving,
00:18:10.840 it'll just tell you
00:18:11.760 what you should have done.
00:18:13.100 So you're like two blocks
00:18:14.080 after you missed the turn
00:18:14.960 and says you should have turned.
00:18:15.860 Anyway,
00:18:16.440 Fox News asked
00:18:17.420 if the FBI
00:18:17.960 had lost text messages
00:18:19.700 from similar devices
00:18:21.080 belonging to other agents
00:18:22.200 at that time.
00:18:23.420 And wouldn't you know
00:18:24.240 the FBI had no comment
00:18:25.600 on the matter?
00:18:27.060 So there goes that excuse.
00:18:28.240 One has to assume
00:18:29.120 that if the FBI
00:18:30.020 had lost other text messages
00:18:31.440 from similar devices
00:18:32.420 during that time,
00:18:33.420 they would have taken out
00:18:34.480 a front page ad
00:18:35.680 in the New York Times
00:18:36.580 to try to slow down
00:18:37.800 the avalanche
00:18:38.500 of corruption allegations.
00:18:39.700 But nope,
00:18:40.260 no comment.
00:18:41.480 So here's the deal.
00:18:42.800 I haven't been
00:18:43.480 one of the Republicans
00:18:44.360 or conservatives
00:18:45.040 calling on Trump
00:18:45.740 to fire Mueller.
00:18:46.720 Even though Mueller
00:18:47.460 is friends with Comey,
00:18:48.620 even though Mueller
00:18:49.180 appears to have staffed
00:18:50.200 his investigation
00:18:50.840 with anti-Trump operatives,
00:18:52.240 even though the original
00:18:53.020 Russia investigation itself
00:18:54.540 may have been triggered
00:18:55.500 by Democrat money,
00:18:56.620 I still urged caution.
00:18:58.160 Let it play out.
00:18:58.820 Don't interfere.
00:19:00.060 This is a bridge too far.
00:19:01.580 The missing text messages
00:19:02.800 is a bridge too far.
00:19:04.900 I'm not even impugning
00:19:05.840 Mueller's personal reputation here,
00:19:07.620 his personal integrity.
00:19:08.680 I don't know if he's a hack
00:19:09.540 or if he's a stand-up guy.
00:19:11.340 I don't care.
00:19:12.000 This is a bridge too far.
00:19:13.500 The FBI, the DOJ, Bob Mueller,
00:19:15.360 they don't need to find
00:19:16.160 these text messages.
00:19:17.020 I don't even care.
00:19:17.640 In the spirit of reconciliation,
00:19:19.300 they can just call off
00:19:19.980 the investigation,
00:19:21.040 which has been a partisan
00:19:21.820 witch hunt from the beginning
00:19:22.880 and which we're seeing
00:19:23.800 more clearly every day.
00:19:24.900 But that's the choice.
00:19:25.980 Find the texts
00:19:26.820 or fire Mueller.
00:19:28.260 As Hillary Clinton
00:19:28.940 ironically pointed out,
00:19:30.340 refusing to accept
00:19:31.140 the results
00:19:31.620 of a presidential election
00:19:32.820 is a direct threat
00:19:34.320 to our democracy,
00:19:35.340 we can't tolerate
00:19:36.340 this flagrant threat
00:19:37.700 any longer.
00:19:39.180 Okay, let's get into our panel.
00:19:40.580 We have got a good panel today.
00:19:42.000 We've got former mayor
00:19:43.040 of Bogota, New Jersey
00:19:44.160 and all-around conservative leader
00:19:45.880 Steve Lonegan
00:19:46.520 and Vincent Buda
00:19:47.660 from Live Room Studio 6B.
00:19:49.700 But before we talk to them,
00:19:51.720 I have to talk about something
00:19:52.820 much more important
00:19:53.860 than any of that.
00:19:54.740 Our government
00:19:55.400 or our great panel today
00:19:56.740 or another kingdom,
00:19:58.680 I've got to talk about Da Vinci.
00:20:00.320 Da Vinci,
00:20:00.680 another sponsor
00:20:01.600 that helps us keep
00:20:02.540 the lights on
00:20:03.060 and covfefe in our cup.
00:20:04.260 We appreciate them very much
00:20:05.380 and Da Vinci
00:20:06.060 is a really great service.
00:20:07.940 So,
00:20:08.620 Da Vinci offers
00:20:09.760 incredibly affordable
00:20:11.300 meeting rooms
00:20:12.020 in well-known office locations
00:20:13.920 in every city.
00:20:15.080 If you're like me
00:20:15.940 and you're traveling
00:20:16.660 and you've got to get
00:20:17.560 some business done,
00:20:18.620 usually you'll just duck
00:20:19.680 into some coffee shop
00:20:20.780 where the internet
00:20:21.660 isn't that great
00:20:22.500 and there are people
00:20:23.460 yelling bizarre things
00:20:25.480 all around you
00:20:26.380 and you'll try to take
00:20:27.960 a conference call in there
00:20:28.940 and you'll just sound
00:20:29.760 very unprofessional
00:20:30.600 and then the thing
00:20:31.640 will cut out
00:20:32.180 and then you'll have
00:20:32.620 to sign up for internet
00:20:33.340 and blah, blah, blah.
00:20:33.980 It's no fun.
00:20:36.420 Right now,
00:20:37.420 Da Vinci has a solution
00:20:38.740 to this.
00:20:39.420 You can find
00:20:39.900 the perfect meeting room
00:20:40.920 for face-to-face
00:20:42.440 business meetings.
00:20:43.260 It's as easy as
00:20:43.860 search, book, meet.
00:20:46.400 Search, book, meet.
00:20:48.100 There's nothing else.
00:20:48.860 You don't need to,
00:20:49.780 you know,
00:20:50.660 give up hours and hours
00:20:52.500 of your life
00:20:52.920 to make this happen.
00:20:53.660 It's search, book, meet.
00:20:55.240 So whether you need
00:20:56.000 a day office
00:20:56.560 or a conference room,
00:20:57.420 a board room
00:20:58.020 or a training space,
00:20:59.100 you just need a room.
00:21:00.120 Da Vinci has the right room
00:21:01.180 for you when you need it.
00:21:02.660 Like for me,
00:21:03.580 obviously we broadcast
00:21:04.840 from the broom closet
00:21:05.920 of the Ben Shapiro show
00:21:06.980 and sometimes you need
00:21:08.040 a little bit more space
00:21:09.080 so you can use Da Vinci
00:21:10.380 to have a little more
00:21:11.340 breathing room
00:21:11.920 and you're not just sitting,
00:21:12.980 you know,
00:21:13.360 nose-to-nose
00:21:13.880 with somebody else.
00:21:14.740 So let's say you're
00:21:15.680 based in Phoenix
00:21:16.380 but you need to meet
00:21:17.320 customers face-to-face
00:21:18.540 in New York
00:21:19.160 or LA or Omaha.
00:21:21.180 Skip the coffee shop,
00:21:22.140 go to a Da Vinci
00:21:22.700 meeting room instead.
00:21:23.440 Search, book, meet.
00:21:25.320 It's super easy
00:21:25.980 from day offices
00:21:27.000 to conference rooms.
00:21:28.300 Da Vinci gives you
00:21:29.380 instant access
00:21:30.200 to over 5,000
00:21:31.600 affordable meeting rooms
00:21:32.940 in well-known office locations
00:21:34.340 in every city.
00:21:35.700 You might think,
00:21:36.320 well, they'll have this
00:21:36.920 in New York
00:21:37.380 and LA or something.
00:21:38.480 This thing is everywhere.
00:21:39.980 So search, book, and meet.
00:21:41.980 Your Da Vinci meeting room
00:21:42.920 comes with high-speed internet
00:21:43.920 and all the presentation tools
00:21:45.100 to make your next meeting
00:21:46.860 a success.
00:21:48.040 Now how much would you pay
00:21:48.780 for this?
00:21:49.120 A gazillion dollars?
00:21:49.980 I would pay Marshall's
00:21:51.740 annual salary
00:21:52.720 if I could,
00:21:53.720 which isn't saying
00:21:54.680 a ton necessarily.
00:21:55.740 Obviously, he makes
00:21:56.700 about the same as I do here
00:21:57.660 which is scraps.
00:21:58.920 But what would you give
00:22:01.440 to have this opportunity?
00:22:02.440 It's just 10 bucks.
00:22:03.520 10 bucks an hour.
00:22:04.860 That is nothing.
00:22:05.620 If I go to a coffee shop
00:22:06.680 and get a latte,
00:22:07.360 I'll probably pay more than that
00:22:08.460 to have a meeting space
00:22:09.760 which isn't nearly as useful.
00:22:11.440 Remember these three words.
00:22:12.700 Three words I'm going to tell you.
00:22:14.260 Search, book, meet.
00:22:16.180 So if you go to davincimeat.com
00:22:20.600 davinci, D-A-V-I-N-C-I
00:22:23.160 meet, M-E-E-T

00:22:47.480 slash covfefe
00:22:48.200 Slash covfefe
00:22:49.060 Do it.
00:22:49.660 Do it now.
00:22:50.240 Gentlemen.
00:22:51.960 Oh my gosh.
00:22:53.780 I've got Steve Lonegan
00:22:55.100 and Vincent Buda here.
00:22:56.620 I thought we'd at least
00:22:57.680 get through one topic first
00:22:58.860 but Marshall, that tyrant,
00:23:01.160 that sadist
00:23:01.800 is telling me
00:23:02.760 that if you are not
00:23:03.580 on dailywire.com
00:23:04.460 you can't see it.
00:23:05.380 Sorry folks.
00:23:06.520 So you've got to go
00:23:07.120 to dailywire.com right now.
00:23:09.640 Why is that?

00:23:12.780 $100 for an annual membership.

00:23:16.600 You'll get no ads on the website.
00:23:17.720 You'll get the conversation.
00:23:18.720 You can ask me anything you want.
00:23:19.980 That's going to be coming up soon.
00:23:21.180 Blah, blah, blah.
00:23:21.620 Who cares?
00:23:22.820 You get this.
00:23:23.920 Look, folks,
00:23:25.480 when the rank corruption
00:23:27.320 of the Obama administration,
00:23:29.160 the infection
00:23:30.060 of all these federal agencies,
00:23:31.680 all of the texts,
00:23:32.520 all of the insurance policies
00:23:33.700 come out,
00:23:34.340 you are going to be drowning
00:23:35.560 in leftist tears
00:23:36.440 and you need an insurance policy.
00:23:38.460 You need an insurance policy.
00:23:39.760 Don't let it happen to you.
00:23:40.620 Don't protect your family
00:23:42.260 and yourself
00:23:43.100 and your home.
00:23:44.160 Get the leftist tears tumbler.
00:23:45.640 You can have them all salty
00:23:46.740 and delicious all the time,
00:23:48.520 either hot or cold.
00:23:49.620 Go to dailywire.com.
00:23:50.520 We'll be right back.
00:24:01.720 Gentlemen,
00:24:02.320 thank you for being here.
00:24:03.220 Vincent,
00:24:03.520 you've been here before.
00:24:04.660 Steve Lonegan,
00:24:05.440 your first time here.
00:24:06.800 Steve,
00:24:07.020 for those of you
00:24:07.780 who don't know you,
00:24:09.000 Steve is this great figure
00:24:10.900 in the conservative movement
00:24:12.120 and the Republican Party,
00:24:13.700 former mayor in New Jersey.
00:24:15.860 I think,
00:24:16.360 did you climb a mountain
00:24:17.380 or something?
00:24:18.000 Did I read that somewhere?
00:24:20.100 Yeah,
00:24:20.300 I did Kilimanjaro
00:24:21.200 a few years ago.
00:24:22.320 By the way,
00:24:23.000 Mike,
00:24:23.220 I'm also a client of Da Vinci.
00:24:24.800 I've used their office space
00:24:25.740 many times.
00:24:26.360 You're sponsored.
00:24:26.980 Have you?
00:24:27.420 Yeah,
00:24:27.580 all right.
00:24:28.020 We've got a panel endorsement.
00:24:29.760 New York City,
00:24:30.520 Philadelphia,
00:24:31.420 all over the place.
00:24:32.220 Yeah.
00:24:32.560 Wonderful.
00:24:33.140 Yeah,
00:24:33.400 I think it's a great opportunity.
00:24:35.140 I got a broadcast from New York
00:24:37.260 later in the spring
00:24:38.680 and we're certainly
00:24:40.020 going to be using those guys.
00:24:41.660 So,
00:24:41.760 okay,
00:24:42.000 so we've got a former mayor,
00:24:43.800 all around great conservative activist,
00:24:45.700 climbed Kilimanjaro,
00:24:46.860 you know,
00:24:47.100 just a little thing.
00:24:48.580 So,
00:24:49.100 you've got a-
00:24:50.100 Little town.
00:24:51.420 That's right.
00:24:52.340 You know,
00:24:53.140 you've got this broad array
00:24:54.360 of experiences
00:24:55.280 from your meanderings
00:24:58.420 around politics
00:24:59.280 and the conservative movement.
00:25:01.920 Does Trump need to fire Mueller?
00:25:03.200 Is the Russia investigation
00:25:04.440 too tainted
00:25:05.200 with partisan machinations
00:25:06.520 at this point?
00:25:07.520 Well,
00:25:07.740 I think it's very partisan,
00:25:09.060 but I think the first thing
00:25:09.960 that has to happen
00:25:11.500 is Jeff Sessions
00:25:12.260 should unrecuse himself
00:25:13.560 and the DOJ
00:25:14.740 should take a much more
00:25:15.660 hands-on approach
00:25:16.440 to this investigation
00:25:17.320 because,
00:25:18.440 you know,
00:25:19.080 these missing text messages
00:25:21.280 are equivalent
00:25:22.280 to the Watergate tapes,
00:25:23.480 in my opinion.
00:25:24.380 I think they're going
00:25:24.880 to be very unveiling.
00:25:25.920 The reason there were
00:25:26.660 so many texts
00:25:27.600 is because obviously
00:25:28.320 they were planning something,
00:25:30.020 planning something big.
00:25:31.000 You know,
00:25:32.200 I have long been loath
00:25:34.500 to criticize
00:25:35.040 the Trump administration.
00:25:36.240 I think everything
00:25:36.740 that people freak out about
00:25:38.000 is nothing.
00:25:38.980 It's a nothing burger
00:25:39.700 to quote Van Jones.
00:25:40.960 The tweets
00:25:41.520 and the this and the that.
00:25:42.220 I think that's all fine.
00:25:43.140 The one mistake
00:25:44.120 was Jeff Sessions
00:25:45.780 recusing himself.
00:25:46.860 I felt that was
00:25:47.460 such a misstep,
00:25:48.700 so unnecessary.
00:25:50.040 It gave Democrats
00:25:50.900 such unnecessary leverage.
00:25:53.420 Vincent,
00:25:54.340 what is going to be
00:25:55.520 the outcome
00:25:55.980 of this investigation?
00:25:57.300 You're in New York.
00:25:58.680 You know that you can
00:25:59.700 indict a ham sandwich.
00:26:00.560 Is anything going
00:26:01.860 to come from this?
00:26:03.740 If it were you or I,
00:26:05.160 if it were any individual,
00:26:06.480 we'd be in jail by now,
00:26:07.840 number one.
00:26:09.020 And number two,
00:26:10.220 I agree with Steve.
00:26:11.740 Jeff Sessions
00:26:12.500 needs to wake up here.
00:26:14.340 You know,
00:26:14.600 you have Rosenstein,
00:26:15.760 who's now, you know,
00:26:16.700 the second in command
00:26:17.480 in handling this,
00:26:18.120 whose hands are all over this.
00:26:19.800 You've got McCabe.
00:26:21.000 You've got Strzok.
00:26:22.120 You have all these guys.
00:26:23.400 Comey.
00:26:24.240 And this, by the way,
00:26:25.300 one of the things
00:26:25.820 that I've been thinking about
00:26:27.860 about this entire controversy
00:26:29.240 is these are all connected.
00:26:31.460 The Hillary email campaign
00:26:33.020 and this whole Trump,
00:26:34.740 you know,
00:26:35.020 bury Trump thing
00:26:35.920 that we're talking about here
00:26:36.960 with the missing 50,000 texts
00:26:38.480 and all of this stuff,
00:26:39.780 they're connected.
00:26:40.880 It's a lot of the same people.
00:26:42.580 They couldn't,
00:26:43.260 they saved Hillary,
00:26:44.400 but they couldn't get elected.
00:26:45.960 And when they did,
00:26:46.720 they tried to bury Trump.
00:26:48.400 You know,
00:26:48.560 we need Dianne Feinstein
00:26:49.780 now to step in
00:26:50.580 and get a cold
00:26:51.200 to find those 50,000 text messages.
00:26:53.520 Maybe that's the right thing to do.
00:26:54.640 That's absolutely right.
00:26:57.360 You know, Mike,
00:26:58.440 this whole issue
00:26:59.580 that took place
00:27:00.300 between Strzok
00:27:01.180 and his girlfriend
00:27:02.260 and potentially other FBI agents
00:27:04.500 and substantial people in the FBI,
00:27:07.160 which would be unveiled
00:27:08.220 by this text message,
00:27:09.620 very well could raise
00:27:11.100 the level of treason.
00:27:12.500 If people in the FBI
00:27:13.640 were working actively
00:27:14.840 to undermine the election
00:27:16.120 of the president of the United States,
00:27:17.440 that could very well qualify,
00:27:19.520 as the president said,
00:27:20.900 as treason.
00:27:21.660 So they need to dig in
00:27:22.880 really deep on this.
00:27:24.020 This is way bigger
00:27:24.880 than any phony Russian collusion,
00:27:26.740 which I think we all know now
00:27:27.960 never took place.
00:27:29.020 And it is crazy.
00:27:30.180 There was a formerly
00:27:31.780 very important leader
00:27:34.280 of the conservative movement.
00:27:35.880 I like him personally,
00:27:37.000 so I won't be too mean to him.
00:27:38.440 But he said,
00:27:39.300 when President Trump was elected,
00:27:41.100 he said,
00:27:41.660 between the deep state
00:27:42.380 and the Trump state,
00:27:43.240 I choose the deep state.
00:27:44.780 And that is the worst possible take
00:27:47.600 I can imagine.
00:27:48.960 We're talking about
00:27:50.060 the foundations of our republic.
00:27:52.280 We're talking about
00:27:53.260 the right to self-government itself
00:27:55.440 and saying that we can run
00:27:57.180 our own lives
00:27:57.980 and our own country
00:27:58.840 better than some little band
00:28:00.820 of self-appointed elites
00:28:02.260 and bureaucrats
00:28:03.420 in a far distant capital.
00:28:05.180 And if we see them
00:28:07.760 flexing their muscles
00:28:08.600 and trying to undercut
00:28:10.520 a democratic election,
00:28:12.060 a presidential election,
00:28:13.140 that is a high, high crime.
00:28:15.160 And I don't think
00:28:16.020 you've overstated it.
00:28:17.000 And I don't think
00:28:17.640 Trump overstated it.
00:28:18.700 Okay, we got to get to the news.
00:28:19.540 Schumer is under fire
00:28:20.800 for losing the government
00:28:21.640 shutdown to Trump.
00:28:22.900 He lost.
00:28:23.920 Schumer sellout
00:28:24.880 was trending on Twitter.
00:28:26.220 Politico admitted
00:28:26.920 Democrats lost.
00:28:27.840 MoveOn.org
00:28:28.620 called it a bad,
00:28:29.580 outrageous deal.
00:28:31.020 Pro-amnesty activists
00:28:32.140 called it political malpractice.
00:28:34.300 The cave heard
00:28:35.360 around the world.
00:28:36.440 Now Schumer is insisting
00:28:37.760 that funding for the border wall
00:28:39.400 is off the table.
00:28:40.340 Steve,
00:28:41.320 this is only a stopgap measure
00:28:43.120 that reopened the government.
00:28:44.140 The government is funded
00:28:44.900 through February 8th.
00:28:46.160 What happens then?
00:28:46.980 It comes roaring back
00:28:49.240 on February 8th
00:28:50.180 and the whole issue
00:28:50.800 of amnesty
00:28:51.280 is going to be on the table.
00:28:52.440 We're going to see
00:28:53.120 where people stand.
00:28:54.420 Because what Schumer
00:28:56.060 has succeeded in doing
00:28:57.440 is forcing,
00:28:58.640 apparently,
00:28:59.200 if I'm reading this correctly,
00:29:00.540 a simple up or down vote
00:29:02.500 on DACA.
00:29:03.620 And that's going to make
00:29:04.220 people take a stand.
00:29:05.200 It's going to be quite a debate.
00:29:06.620 And actually,
00:29:07.020 I kind of prefer it that way
00:29:08.140 because let's get it over with.
00:29:09.340 Look,
00:29:09.680 the people,
00:29:10.200 the American people
00:29:10.960 want the wall.
00:29:12.140 They want an end
00:29:12.700 to chain migration.
00:29:14.020 They want merit-based immigration.
00:29:16.500 They want to put an end
00:29:18.880 to the visa
00:29:19.340 or lottery system,
00:29:20.420 whatever you want to call it.
00:29:21.380 This is what the American people want.
00:29:23.100 And this is what
00:29:23.680 Donald Trump is pushing for.
00:29:25.220 And this is what
00:29:25.900 the Republican Congress
00:29:26.860 and Senate need to deliver.
00:29:28.460 If I was in Congress
00:29:29.300 right now,
00:29:30.080 I'd be fighting every day
00:29:31.480 to implement
00:29:32.640 just those policies.
00:29:34.340 But we're going to see
00:29:34.980 what happens by February 8th.
00:29:36.440 Absolutely.
00:29:37.120 The vast majority
00:29:38.200 of Americans,
00:29:39.020 the vast majority,
00:29:40.500 oppose amnesty,
00:29:42.600 even for DACA,
00:29:43.740 even for these people
00:29:45.140 who were brought here
00:29:45.800 at a relatively young age,
00:29:47.060 even for the most sympathetic group
00:29:48.540 of illegal aliens.
00:29:49.800 They oppose amnesty.
00:29:51.020 Only 44% of Democrats
00:29:53.020 support amnesty
00:29:54.360 for the DACA people.
00:29:56.040 That's of Democrats.
00:29:57.160 Those are the people.
00:29:57.740 It is a clear issue.
00:30:00.160 It's clear to the American people.
00:30:01.320 It's just apparently not clear
00:30:02.600 to squishes
00:30:03.500 and radical Democrats
00:30:05.020 in Congress.
00:30:05.800 To Lindsey Graham.
00:30:07.560 That's right.
00:30:08.080 To Lindsey Graham-nesty,
00:30:09.360 as even he admitted
00:30:10.680 he is often called.
00:30:12.160 Vincent,
00:30:12.920 if Republicans do nothing
00:30:14.360 by February 8th,
00:30:16.780 then we don't give amnesty
00:30:18.320 to scores of new Democrat voters
00:30:19.960 and non-essential government services
00:30:22.260 remain closed.
00:30:23.780 Is that supposed to be a threat?
00:30:25.140 Is that,
00:30:25.520 is that,
00:30:26.000 that sounds okay to me.
00:30:26.980 What is the incentive
00:30:27.740 to negotiate anything here?
00:30:30.580 Yeah, I mean,
00:30:31.480 I hear what you're saying,
00:30:32.540 but this is almost
00:30:33.640 a no-win situation
00:30:34.820 because the American people
00:30:37.260 and Trump's entire,
00:30:39.200 you know,
00:30:40.060 presidency,
00:30:41.240 they need immigration reform.
00:30:43.180 He needs to get immigration reform.
00:30:44.860 Obama couldn't do it
00:30:45.740 with 60 seats
00:30:46.500 and everything that Steve noted.
00:30:48.440 Those are all the things
00:30:49.260 that the American people want.
00:30:50.480 The Democrats, however,
00:30:51.900 have no incentive
00:30:52.920 to do anything
00:30:53.800 other than obstruct Trump
00:30:55.360 and make him look bad
00:30:56.860 this entire process.
00:30:58.800 That is the agenda.
00:30:59.880 That's why the government shut down.
00:31:01.540 That's why they're going back
00:31:02.480 on February 8th
00:31:03.280 and it's going to be
00:31:03.720 a circus again.
00:31:04.940 And I think at the end of the day,
00:31:06.340 we elected Trump
00:31:07.180 to hold the line
00:31:08.220 and be toughier
00:31:09.040 and not cave.
00:31:10.020 And I think it's going to be
00:31:11.940 a bit of an impasse.
00:31:12.960 And they're nuts.
00:31:13.680 They think that their own base
00:31:15.100 is further left
00:31:16.260 than even that is.
00:31:17.600 I'm sorry, Steve, go ahead.
00:31:19.560 There's a big issue
00:31:20.320 that's on our side
00:31:21.020 and we have an election
00:31:21.680 come November
00:31:22.380 and there's going to be
00:31:23.320 a whole lot of swing state
00:31:24.740 Democrats on the ballot.
00:31:26.300 And they're going to be looking
00:31:27.100 at what their constituents want
00:31:28.620 and looking at these numbers.
00:31:30.480 I think we can get to 60 votes
00:31:32.740 in the Senate
00:31:33.820 to end chain migration,
00:31:35.480 to build that wall,
00:31:37.040 to end the visa system
00:31:38.140 and to adopt merit-based immigration
00:31:40.500 because of that simple thing
00:31:42.080 called the American election system.
00:31:44.120 So those Democrats
00:31:44.860 are going to have their careers
00:31:45.720 on the line
00:31:46.180 and they know it.
00:31:47.140 They know it.
00:31:47.640 If I were a Democrat
00:31:48.800 either in Congress
00:31:50.660 running for Congress
00:31:51.400 in a swing state this year,
00:31:53.320 I would be terrified of this
00:31:55.040 because the leaders
00:31:56.220 of the Democrat Party,
00:31:57.340 they think that their base
00:31:58.860 is left of Lenin.
00:31:59.920 They think that their base
00:32:00.640 wants to give amnesty
00:32:01.420 to everybody.
00:32:02.280 They don't.
00:32:02.980 It isn't true
00:32:03.700 among any demographic
00:32:05.080 of the American people,
00:32:06.460 including among Democrats.
00:32:08.360 But that's fine.
00:32:08.980 Let them do it.
00:32:09.560 We're going to run up
00:32:10.180 a bunch of good
00:32:10.680 Republican candidates.
00:32:11.820 Now we have to move on.
00:32:12.920 That's their big miscalculation,
00:32:15.120 Michael.
00:32:15.680 That's their big miscalculation.
00:32:17.020 They are believing
00:32:18.600 in the very, very small fringe
00:32:20.240 of their party.
00:32:21.140 And I think they're going
00:32:22.500 to get burned for you.
00:32:23.380 Speaking of bizarre small fringes,
00:32:25.800 we've all heard
00:32:26.460 about the Turpin case,
00:32:27.860 that insane couple
00:32:28.860 who starved and tortured
00:32:30.400 their 13 children
00:32:31.620 and shackled them
00:32:32.320 to furniture.
00:32:33.320 I think they're out here
00:32:34.160 in my state of California,
00:32:35.540 of course,
00:32:36.320 glorious little old California.
00:32:38.400 Now the media are focusing
00:32:39.660 on one aspect in particular,
00:32:41.400 that the Turpins here
00:32:42.820 were homeschooling
00:32:44.180 their children.
00:32:45.360 Of course,
00:32:45.900 they weren't actually
00:32:46.680 homeschooling them
00:32:47.360 or schooling them
00:32:48.020 in any way at all.
00:32:49.020 But according to the government,
00:32:50.080 they were homeschooling them.
00:32:51.300 So left-wing outlets
00:32:52.140 like The Week
00:32:52.860 have written about
00:32:54.520 the sickening danger
00:32:55.700 of homeschooling.
00:32:57.000 Steve,
00:32:57.960 is this bizarre case
00:32:59.620 evidence that we need
00:33:00.840 more government regulation
00:33:02.100 of homeschooling?
00:33:04.220 It's more evidence
00:33:05.240 that the press
00:33:05.880 should be covering
00:33:06.600 the sickening cases
00:33:07.720 of these abortion clinic
00:33:08.940 houses of horrors
00:33:09.740 that are spread
00:33:10.180 all across the country
00:33:11.440 that they seem to forget
00:33:12.720 to talk about.
00:33:14.140 You know,
00:33:14.460 homeschooling is just
00:33:15.820 a fantastic aspect
00:33:17.860 of our American society.
00:33:19.400 I'm a major supporter
00:33:20.400 of homeschooling.
00:33:21.420 It's actually sick
00:33:22.460 to tarnish the image
00:33:23.960 of homeschoolers
00:33:24.700 because of sick people
00:33:25.720 like this
00:33:26.240 because our society,
00:33:28.120 our system,
00:33:29.140 police,
00:33:29.960 the community,
00:33:30.560 whatever,
00:33:31.000 failed to know
00:33:31.840 that this was going on
00:33:33.000 under their very noses.
00:33:34.220 It is a deeply disturbing thing
00:33:35.840 that took place
00:33:36.500 with this family,
00:33:37.600 something that should
00:33:38.180 never happen again.
00:33:39.420 But it's certainly
00:33:40.040 not the fault of homeschoolers
00:33:43.440 and homeschooling
00:33:44.600 should never be blamed
00:33:45.460 for what took place.
00:33:46.120 Of course.
00:33:46.840 You know,
00:33:47.320 you bring up
00:33:47.940 on that House of Horrors
00:33:48.900 a place like Kermit Gosnell,
00:33:51.020 the worst mass murderer
00:33:52.020 in American history,
00:33:53.280 ran a bloody,
00:33:54.380 awful abortion clinic.
00:33:56.060 Limbs and carcasses
00:33:57.500 and things left
00:33:58.340 all over the place.
00:33:59.860 And we don't see them
00:34:00.560 calling for an end
00:34:01.360 to that, by the way.
00:34:02.300 That's right.
00:34:02.720 We don't see them
00:34:03.220 calling for an end
00:34:03.740 to that practice.
00:34:04.620 The press wouldn't cover it.
00:34:05.800 They blacked out
00:34:06.480 the whole thing.
00:34:06.940 They wouldn't cover it.
00:34:07.980 And then this one bizarre
00:34:09.520 savage,
00:34:10.680 torturous couple.
00:34:11.680 Now they say
00:34:12.360 we need to end
00:34:13.140 homeschooling.
00:34:14.660 Vincent,
00:34:15.240 at public schools,
00:34:16.620 17,000 cases
00:34:17.780 of student-on-student
00:34:18.880 sexual assault
00:34:19.680 have been reported
00:34:20.620 in a four-year time frame.
00:34:22.180 According to a 2004
00:34:23.240 Department of Education study,
00:34:25.200 sex abuse of students
00:34:26.240 in schools
00:34:26.820 across the country
00:34:27.620 is 100 times worse
00:34:29.320 than the widely reported
00:34:30.840 on priest sex abuse scandal
00:34:32.860 of the early 2000s.
00:34:34.240 27% of public school kids
00:34:36.340 in the U.S.
00:34:37.320 attend schools
00:34:38.080 that are gang
00:34:38.780 and drug infected
00:34:40.500 according to a 2010
00:34:41.980 national survey.
00:34:43.480 Why are the media
00:34:44.160 so quick to gang up
00:34:45.200 on homeschooling
00:34:46.080 because of one
00:34:46.900 depraved couple
00:34:47.620 but they're silent
00:34:48.360 on the sorry state
00:34:49.580 of government schools?
00:34:52.240 Yeah, well,
00:34:52.960 that's because the media
00:34:53.820 is clearly just
00:34:55.180 always been in collusion
00:34:56.440 with the left
00:34:57.180 and their government programs.
00:34:58.580 But what they seem
00:34:59.580 to jump on
00:35:00.340 and try to claim
00:35:01.520 that government
00:35:01.920 can solve the problem
00:35:02.700 is when there's
00:35:03.100 one isolated incident,
00:35:04.860 like this terrible story
00:35:06.020 in the Turbine House,
00:35:07.300 they jump on that
00:35:08.640 and try to make
00:35:09.200 that a national issue
00:35:10.000 like they need
00:35:11.020 to jump in
00:35:11.520 and do this whole
00:35:12.340 homeschooling
00:35:13.040 government interjection.
00:35:14.280 It's ridiculous.
00:35:15.300 This is what's happened
00:35:16.220 with so many issues
00:35:17.220 in this country.
00:35:18.100 Even DACA
00:35:18.860 you can point to
00:35:20.000 on this
00:35:20.320 where they just
00:35:20.660 embraced this
00:35:21.340 and turned it
00:35:21.780 into the whole
00:35:22.160 immigration issue.
00:35:23.520 The stuff going on
00:35:24.460 in the schools
00:35:24.900 and government schools
00:35:25.780 and all that type of stuff,
00:35:27.100 I have to say
00:35:27.660 if the media
00:35:28.160 were more open-minded
00:35:29.340 to actual journalism
00:35:30.440 and I try every day
00:35:32.940 to try and find someone
00:35:34.120 who's a real journalist
00:35:35.680 out there these days
00:35:36.700 to report fairly
00:35:37.840 on anything
00:35:38.520 and I'm not saying it.
00:35:39.940 These are just examples
00:35:41.340 of that.
00:35:42.100 They're not looking
00:35:43.040 at the real issues
00:35:44.060 that they should be
00:35:44.600 investigating
00:35:45.100 and talking about
00:35:46.240 these stories.
00:35:47.020 They're bringing things
00:35:48.080 out that get
00:35:48.660 kind of partisan-ish
00:35:49.760 or ideology-ish
00:35:51.560 and that drives me crazy.
00:35:53.820 It drives everybody crazy,
00:35:55.420 I'm sure.
00:35:55.760 That conflation
00:35:56.240 is so insane.
00:35:57.900 I'm sorry, Steve,
00:35:58.540 go ahead.
00:36:02.460 Steve, do we have you?
00:36:04.120 Yes, right here.
00:36:05.240 Sorry, go ahead.
00:36:05.860 What'd you say?
00:36:07.240 Well, they're pushing
00:36:08.140 a left-wing agenda.
00:36:09.480 I mean, this is
00:36:09.940 a socialist movement.
00:36:10.980 It's been percolating
00:36:11.700 under the surface
00:36:12.880 of this country
00:36:13.520 going back for decades
00:36:14.900 and it's still out there.
00:36:16.200 They've infiltrated the media.
00:36:17.680 They've infiltrated Hollywood.
00:36:19.220 They've infiltrated
00:36:19.940 our bureaucracy
00:36:20.540 and they continue
00:36:21.460 to push, push,
00:36:22.320 and push
00:36:22.660 a left-wing agenda
00:36:23.880 and part of that agenda
00:36:25.160 is to undermine
00:36:26.240 the very core principles
00:36:27.520 of Western civilization
00:36:28.580 and a lot of what you see
00:36:30.140 going on here
00:36:31.000 is just that.
00:36:32.100 To immediately jump
00:36:33.220 on homeschooling
00:36:34.220 where parents take charge
00:36:35.500 of their children's lives
00:36:36.540 which is a fundamental
00:36:37.560 human right,
00:36:38.840 a fundamental responsibility
00:36:40.200 just shows you
00:36:41.220 where they want to go
00:36:41.940 with this country.
00:36:42.640 That's right
00:36:43.000 and they always conflate
00:36:44.360 all of these bizarre things.
00:36:46.320 So this one little
00:36:47.100 crazy family in California
00:36:49.480 is now to be conflated
00:36:51.020 with all of homeschooling.
00:36:52.360 Just as Vincent pointed out,
00:36:53.860 they take the DACA people,
00:36:55.600 25% of whom are illiterate,
00:36:57.620 50% of whom
00:36:58.400 don't have a really
00:36:59.320 working command
00:37:00.920 of the English language
00:37:01.820 and they say that
00:37:02.800 if you don't support
00:37:04.260 giving immediate amnesty
00:37:05.960 to these illegal aliens,
00:37:07.540 then you're anti-immigrant
00:37:09.100 or you somehow don't want
00:37:10.240 immigrants in the country.
00:37:11.640 It's ridiculous
00:37:12.660 sleights of hand
00:37:13.420 with the language
00:37:14.000 and yeah,
00:37:15.080 we should hold them
00:37:15.820 to account for that.
00:37:16.680 Last topic.
00:37:18.640 A new CNN poll
00:37:19.700 shows Biden,
00:37:21.100 Bernie,
00:37:21.520 and Oprah
00:37:21.980 leading Trump in 2020.
00:37:23.960 57 to 40,
00:37:25.100 55 to 42,
00:37:26.160 and 51 to 42 respectively.
00:37:29.560 Steve,
00:37:29.900 are these numbers legit?
00:37:31.120 Do we need to fear
00:37:31.900 President Oprah,
00:37:33.220 Winfrey, and I?
00:37:34.940 I just remember
00:37:36.260 election night
00:37:37.140 and watching
00:37:38.400 all the CNN guys
00:37:39.720 big smiles on their faces.
00:37:41.220 This was going to be
00:37:41.640 the end of Donald Trump.
00:37:42.660 We're going to have
00:37:43.060 President Putin
00:37:43.640 by the following morning.
00:37:45.440 I remember their faces
00:37:46.900 later that night.
00:37:47.700 They were all just,
00:37:48.440 it was absolutely hilarious.
00:37:50.700 These polls mean
00:37:51.440 absolutely nothing.
00:37:52.760 This economy is booming.
00:37:54.140 The American people
00:37:55.520 are thrilled
00:37:56.360 with the direction
00:37:56.960 this country is going in.
00:37:58.600 You're going to see
00:37:59.080 Republicans keep
00:38:00.060 the House of Representatives
00:38:01.060 come November,
00:38:02.200 end the Senate,
00:38:02.920 and maybe even pick up seats.
00:38:04.720 And I think that very well
00:38:05.820 could happen
00:38:06.460 if things continue
00:38:07.480 to go the way they're going.
00:38:08.720 And you're going to see
00:38:09.380 a second term
00:38:10.200 for President Donald Trump.
00:38:12.000 You also,
00:38:12.540 I will predict,
00:38:13.480 in the next two years,
00:38:14.980 or the second two years
00:38:16.080 of the first Trump term,
00:38:17.560 you're going to see
00:38:18.000 another tax cut bill
00:38:19.560 coming into place,
00:38:20.920 more cuts in regulations
00:38:22.020 and more economic growth.
00:38:23.160 So CNN could continue
00:38:24.720 their pipe dream.
00:38:25.860 I believe, Michael,
00:38:26.720 that they use these polls
00:38:27.860 to try to influence
00:38:29.040 public opinion ahead of time.
00:38:30.860 Just not going to work.
00:38:31.720 Absolutely right.
00:38:32.720 These polls are just
00:38:34.160 a communication strategy.
00:38:36.060 They're just a regular
00:38:36.900 old Democrat tactic.
00:38:38.420 No reason to believe them.
00:38:39.980 Vincent,
00:38:40.740 the combined age
00:38:41.560 of Joe Biden
00:38:42.220 and Bernie Sanders
00:38:43.000 is 487.
00:38:44.560 Do Democrats have
00:38:45.360 any viable young talent
00:38:46.940 for 2020?
00:38:49.540 It's fairly pathetic, right?
00:38:51.700 We're talking about
00:38:52.320 a CNN poll,
00:38:53.140 and I agree with everything
00:38:53.780 that Steve said,
00:38:54.540 but if the Democrats
00:38:55.900 were smart,
00:38:56.860 and I don't want to give them
00:38:57.600 a tip here,
00:38:58.320 but if they were smart,
00:38:59.420 they'd find a centrist,
00:39:00.880 a candidate in the middle
00:39:02.280 that was younger and stronger
00:39:03.660 and push them forward
00:39:04.980 because the direction
00:39:06.200 they're going
00:39:06.800 and the media's ideology,
00:39:08.940 you know,
00:39:09.200 riding with them shotgun,
00:39:10.860 it's not the right direction
00:39:12.240 for the country,
00:39:13.060 number one,
00:39:13.660 and I think it's the wrong direction
00:39:14.660 for them as a party.
00:39:15.600 If they were smart,
00:39:16.980 they'd get out of the weeds
00:39:18.100 with these retreads here,
00:39:20.420 Joe Biden and Bernie,
00:39:21.600 I mean, seriously?
00:39:22.800 Oprah?
00:39:23.380 I mean,
00:39:23.620 I can't even take that seriously.
00:39:25.420 I think there's a better chance
00:39:26.440 of finding the 50,000
00:39:27.560 lost text messages
00:39:28.480 than believing that survey,
00:39:30.420 by the way.
00:39:31.960 Yeah,
00:39:32.140 but I think that
00:39:33.040 that entire party
00:39:35.140 needs an overhaul,
00:39:36.600 and they need to get to the middle
00:39:37.760 if they want any chance,
00:39:39.080 and I don't want to give them
00:39:39.860 that advice.
00:39:40.400 Maybe we need to edit that out.
00:39:41.200 We'll edit that out in post.
00:39:43.880 All right,
00:39:44.340 thank you.
00:39:45.120 All right,
00:39:45.500 gentlemen,
00:39:45.760 that's our whole show.
00:39:46.720 We're out of time.
