00:06:54.000I can't help but think it's because they want to create some of that apathy.
00:06:57.000They want you to be like, ah, we got this, sit it out, so that they, you know, if you underperform by one point and you win by 25 or you win by 15, the highest number ever before was 12, right, in an Iowa caucus.
00:07:10.000So in what would otherwise be a drubbing, they say you underperform, they do the stories, there's blood in the water, the billionaire donor class goes to Nikki Haley and writes her checks for hundreds of millions of dollars.
00:07:48.000Unless you're a Democrat, in which case they have other considerations and special interests.
00:07:52.000But we got to overwhelm it just like we got to overwhelm it in the general later on.
00:07:56.000And before we get to our top headlines and our interview with Matt Winterger, I want to just make sure you're liking, you're sharing, you're subscribing, you're downloading the Rumble app so that you never miss these episodes, okay?
00:08:08.000I want to let you know that you guys make this show possible along with our sponsors.
00:12:28.000We don't need to talk about them as criminals.
00:12:31.000They're not. They're families that want a better life and they're desperate to get here.
00:12:36.000Nikki Haley is more worried about being respectful towards illegal immigrants than respecting our laws, respecting you, the American taxpayer, who's going to have to foot the bill for all of these things.
00:12:50.000That's why she's backed by people like Reid Hoffman.
00:12:53.000Hoffman is a Democrat that donated $250,000 to Nikki Haley's Super PAC. Hoffman is one of the many Democrats that are backing Nikki Haley.
00:13:05.000He's backed all the major Democrats before, and now he's backing Nikki Haley.
00:13:10.000A consultant for Eric Swalwell, for example, just wrote an op-ed titled, Nikki Haley is the best hope to keep Trump out of the White House.
00:13:20.000Okay, guys, I don't know about you, but if consultants for Eric Swalwell and major billionaire Democrat mega donors and Biden donors are on your side, then you aren't a conservative, okay?
00:14:30.000It's a story as old as the decline of America.
00:14:34.000A 2019 Bloomberg article has the answer for you folks.
00:14:38.000And I quote, The iconic American planemaker and its subcontractors have relied on temporary workers, making as little as $9 an hour to develop and test software, often from countries lacking a deep background in aerospace, notably India. Hmm.
00:14:56.000Huh. Where else have we seen this, folks?
00:15:01.000Let's ship all of our manufacturing abroad.
00:15:07.000We'll sell Americans crap while mortgaging off their futures.
00:15:12.000We'll then borrow money back from countries like China so that we can give it to pay for the defense of Ukraine while leaving our own borders totally open.
00:15:36.000Guys, if you go back decades, Boeing had a huge success with the 777, with the 757, made right here in the United States, creating great jobs for hard-working Americans.
00:15:53.000That didn't need to be on government program.
00:15:56.000Years later, when the moron managerial class of consultants outsourced the making of the 787, planes started falling out of the sky, leading to problem after problem.
00:16:11.000And now we're seeing the same story with the 737 MAX. It's why Airbus, a European plane manufacturer, over in Europe is literally now beating Boeing in like every major metric, like quality control, debt, amount of planes produced.
00:16:28.000I mean, how do you blow that kind of lead, Boeing?
00:16:32.000You know how you do it? You have a phony managerial class of consultants.
00:16:36.000People, they consult. They don't know anything about the businesses in question usually.
00:16:40.000Yeah? They got an MBA at Harvard, probably for some nonsense reason like we've been seeing about for the last thing, and they get to tell you what to do.
00:16:48.000They don't know anything about planes.
00:16:59.000Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
00:17:02.000That was his job, to convince American companies to save a buck by outsourcing key tasks, and the end result is predictably a decline in quality, a loss of American jobs.
00:17:16.000Great news for China, not so good for you.
00:17:41.000I know I must be incredibly racist if I just want someone who knows how to fly the damn plane.
00:17:48.000Not someone who got in because they checked a couple boxes and maybe there's a big boy in the room to teach them how to do it in case something goes wrong.
00:17:59.000It doesn't seem like it's too much to ask.
00:18:01.000Just like I also want a really good surgeon.
00:18:05.000It's not rocket science, but it happens every day.
00:18:09.000Now, even the airline manufacturers are going down these same failed roads.
00:18:16.000In fact, at the end of last year, America First Legal filed federal civil rights complaints with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission against three of America's largest airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, for engaging in illegal, racial, and sex discrimination.
00:18:35.000Because they basically wanted to hire a bunch of people that were not white men.
00:18:40.000I don't know, guys. As I said, call me crazy, but I'm far more interested in whether the pilot can actually fly the freaking airplane than...
00:18:51.000Whether there's so-called diversity in the cockpit.
00:18:55.000By the way, if everyone in the cockpit was blue or green, I wouldn't care if they're the best damn pilots.
00:19:02.000But you can't just fake it and create that because you set out for goals.
00:19:33.000This is what they think is a big own on Texas Governor Greg Abbott.
00:19:39.000Watch. The plan was part of Operation Lone Star, an initiative that has bussed nearly 100,000 migrants out of overwhelmed border towns like Del Rio and onto cities led by Democrats like Chicago and New York.
00:20:12.000They make it seem as if keeping and housing these illegal immigrants in Texas in perpetuity would somehow be cheaper than shipping them out.
00:20:23.000So they're like, oh, it cost $100 million to ship them out.
00:20:27.000Oh, yeah? How much is it going to cost to keep 100,000 illegals there forever?
00:20:53.000No, no, no. You'll be spending tens of thousands each a month.
00:20:59.000Welfare, schooling, all the benefits that taxes are giving, all the benefits the Democrats would give them forever to be able to secure a voter base?
00:21:52.000The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on Wednesday on whether Hunter Biden should be held in contempt of Congress for dodging a congressional subpoena.
00:22:00.000Hunter is so confident he'll never face any consequences that he actually...
00:23:12.000I'm not going to hold my breath, but here's Florida Congressman Michael Waltz laying it all out.
00:23:20.000Well, member so-and-so, Congressman so-and-so, Congressman Jordan, they didn't comply with their subpoenas.
00:23:28.000But let's have a quick lesson on the Constitution.
00:23:31.000Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution, this beat and debate clause, essentially protects all of us from abiding by each other's subpoenas.
00:23:41.000Otherwise, this body would do nothing but subpoena Each other.
00:23:45.000So I would encourage my colleagues to look up Article 1, Section 6 and look at the case law of the speech and debate clause and why my colleagues rightfully did not abide by that subpoena.
00:23:56.000But let's talk about precedent for a moment of a president's son abiding by lawful subpoenas of the Congress.
00:24:08.000came before this body He came before the House Intelligence Committee.
00:24:13.000He came before the House Judiciary Committee.
00:24:16.000He came before the Senate Intelligence Committee twice.
00:24:19.000He came before the so-called Jan 6 Committee.
00:24:23.000All behind closed doors where lawyers can sit down both sides of the aisle and have a conversation, go through documents all under oath, which is the precedent for any committee.
00:24:51.000Let's see what happens. But the Republicans have to get tough.
00:24:54.000It can't just be guys like Mike Waltz out there leading the charge.
00:24:58.000The House has also launched its impeachment inquiry of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas for failing to enforce literally a single law out there, it seems.
00:25:09.000All of this is good, but using our budget power to hold Biden accountable would be even better.
00:25:17.000Okay? And we're not doing that, folks.
00:27:53.000No, that's not a glitch. You heard that right.
00:27:56.000Okay? Not only that, but we've learned that both he and Willis have had meetings at the White House.
00:28:04.000Why on earth would they need to have meetings at the White House unless they were trying to line up their attack with Joe Biden against his leading political rival?
00:28:15.000Oh yeah, no guys, this isn't Banana Republic stuff.
00:28:21.000Again, put on your, if this was the Trump administration hat for about five seconds, and you realize that this should be a really big deal.
00:28:30.000This alone should disqualify that case.
00:28:37.000But this is democratic politics in a nutshell.
00:28:40.000They corruptly profit while abusing power, while targeting their enemies, while pulling the Stalinist tactics that they've been doing over the years.
00:28:50.000It's the Hunter Biden versus Don Jr., Joe versus the father.
00:29:00.000And that's on us. So before we get to Matt, I want to thank another one of our great and brave sponsors because it does take guts to support programming like this.
00:29:09.000We need to support companies that have the guts and are willing to do that.
00:29:12.000It's not easy. They will go after you.
00:29:15.000So we got to support those businesses rather than continuing to feed the woke mob within corporate America.
00:29:21.000So this one's for The Wellness Company, a leading provider in emergency medical kits.
00:29:26.000Like we saw with COVID, supply chain chaos, lockdown, Fauci failures,
00:29:32.000it can make it harder to get the medicine that you need for your family in a time of crisis.
00:29:36.000With the Wellness Company's Emergency Medical Kit, you're empowered to take control of your health.
00:29:41.000The kit includes eight life-saving medications, including amoxicillin, Z-Pak, Invermectin, to keep on hand,
00:30:48.000With that, folks, joining me now, former acting attorney general, a senior fellow at the American Cornerstone Institute, Iowa's own Matt Whitaker.
00:30:59.000Matt, first off, I want to hit with you, as a former acting attorney general, the legal insanity we're seeing in our justice system is really, I mean, it's special.
00:31:13.000I mean, this is third world banana republic stuff.
00:31:17.000But this week... There was a hearing on the issue of presidential immunity where two judges, I mean, they sounded like their DNC, you know, non-legal comm staffers asking, like, absurd hypotheticals.
00:31:33.000Can you lay out What that hearing was about and the doctrine of presidential immunity?
00:31:39.000Because the media does such a good job of obscuring reality.
00:31:44.000I think if we talk about other presidents, what this would mean if they did this.
00:31:53.000Barack Hussein Obama for dropping a bomb on an American citizen.
00:31:58.000By that, you'd say, hey, if Trump was back in charge, you could prosecute him for murder because he's not immune from these things that they actually did.
00:32:08.000Can you get into the details for those who don't have the legal background?
00:32:12.000Well, there's so much to talk about, Don, and I really, it's a great honor for me to join you on your show and all your success.
00:32:21.000And, you know, I love anytime we can see each other, but, you know, since you and I are pretty high-profile surrogates, if we're together...
00:32:28.000If we're in the same room, we're wasting our time.
00:32:44.000So there's two things going on right now as we're talking.
00:32:47.000I think the first thing that demonstrates this two-tier system of justice more so than anything is the Hunter Biden And I'm going to say it's mostly the contempt of Congress because that's the issue, but there's so much else going on with Hunter Biden.
00:33:03.000And I just want to say, Don, you know, if you had done one-tenth of what Hunter Biden has done in taking advantage of his dad's presidency, you know, I mean, the media would smoke you so fast.
00:33:19.000I can't even wrap my head around that.
00:33:22.000I always say, I'd be at Gitmo, and my father would have sent me there.
00:35:00.000But, you know, if you're Hunter Biden, it seems to exist in plethora.
00:35:07.000It does. And, you know, I'll remind those that are actually of fair mind in this, you know, constitutional republic that you showed up twice.
00:35:32.000And that's what they're trying to do. We've talked about this a little bit, and you know this well.
00:35:38.000He'll do the public hearing like that's more transparent, where it's opposite.
00:35:42.000You get five minutes, then a Democrat gets to redirect, and he can do his sob story, not ever answering the question.
00:35:47.000When you do the behind closed doors, you're being asked questions by lawyers.
00:35:51.000Not just the congressman who's looking for a Twitter soundbite because they know when they're on TV, but people who have been intimately studying these cases, getting into the details.
00:36:00.000So they're trying to create the illusion of transparency by saying, no, we'll do the public hearing knowing that you get like two hours, it's five minutes back and forth.
00:36:08.000By the time you get through the, oh, you know, I'm a drug addict.
00:36:11.000You know, he feels so bad. He gave back exactly zero of the money he stole.
00:36:19.000The mainstream media, journalists, they shouldn't be called that anymore because they're just regime propagandists, but, you know, journalists will carry their water and give you the sob story about why it's so different and how brave he is for showing up to the public hearing when it's literally just a lie.
00:36:37.000You've seen this. The public hearings, they're a joke.
00:36:41.000The behind-the-closed-door stuff, you know, when I was getting drilled by, you know, lawyers from Senate Intel for nine hours straight, you know, when your life's on the line because they want to try you for treason, it's a little different.
00:36:54.000It's a little different. And, of course, he's unwilling to do this because there probably is no real good answer that's not criminal or doesn't implicate him or his father as to why they were getting money from China, why the grandchildren were taking proceeds from the CCP and other corrupt regimes around the world.
00:37:10.000I mean... There is no answer and that's why they're doing this of course.
00:37:19.000I mean, it's really important to understand how different it is and how we, as conservatives, as Trump supporters, are treated entirely different.
00:37:43.000You know, if you talk about banana republics, you talk about third world countries, what would the party in charge do?
00:37:51.000They would have an appearance of transparency.
00:37:54.000They'd have a majority of their own court appointed, their own presidentially appointed judges.
00:37:59.000Here are the cases to make sure that, you know, again, American people think that this is somehow fair.
00:38:05.000But those... Well, here's the case while on our iPads playing Tetris or something like that.
00:38:10.000They're not really listening because it's a pre-baked conclusion, just like it's pre-baked in New York and probably pre-baked in Atlanta.
00:38:16.000Yeah. Well, that Atlanta case got really interesting suddenly.
00:38:20.000Yes. I covered that pretty thoroughly in my opening monologue, but I mean, you know, again, if this was you, you know, when you were acting attorney general and you behave this way, you'd have been impeached in about half a second, you know, before the allegation dropped, before it was even proven, it'd be out.
00:38:39.000But we're just not going to talk about that.
00:38:42.000We're just going to... Kind of like a perfect phone call, Don.
00:38:45.000Yeah, exactly. It's almost strange how that works.
00:38:48.000It's like, oh, well, now, once the actual transcript leaked, all of a sudden, well, you know, but we're already in the impeachment process, so I guess we got to see it through.
00:38:55.000I'm like, but the entire premise has been proven to be a lie, but that didn't matter because they don't care.
00:39:01.000They don't care, but they're playing a different game than us.
00:39:03.000So, I mean, talk about that, though, the concept of presidential immunity.
00:39:09.000This is a really, really slippery slope for someone to function in a government, especially when the politics is as divisive as it is these days.
00:39:17.000I don't believe the Democrat Party actually has America's interests in mind anymore.
00:39:23.000I think they did. In the past, Kennedy's Democrat Party, they did, and they thought about these things.
00:39:29.000There was nuance as to where we wanted to go, but we knew we wanted to be as a country.
00:39:33.000Just based on immigration and all of the other things that they're doing alone, it's clear that That American citizens are second-class citizens in their own country.
00:39:42.000So if you open this door, and again, maybe it doesn't matter to the Democrats because they understand that Republicans actually believe in the Republic.
00:39:49.000They believe in the Constitution. They wouldn't overstep those bounds.
00:39:53.000It's clear the Democrats don't care about that anymore, but it seems really scary for the future of any president if this became commonplace to just say, hey, we're going to go after you for a mistake that something happened in the military or whatever it may be.
00:40:08.000Yeah, and you know, presidential immunity, you typically, because again, you can't have presidents try to make these decisions and then be sued, held, you know, criminally liable for things that they do in their capacity as President of the United States.
00:40:24.000You're always president of the United States from the time you're sworn in until the time you leave office.
00:40:32.000There's no personal time or time when you're not being the president.
00:40:36.000And so there's always been just a generally accepted concept that your actions as president have immunity.
00:40:44.000And now the left has decided That they're going to, I guess, find where that line is drawn.
00:40:54.000No one ever thought there was necessarily a line there, but it's Trump derangement syndrome.
00:41:01.000We see it play out that the left is...
00:41:04.000You know, it's always because they're always trying to take down your father because they know with his experience for him to be president again, he's going to fundamentally change this country for the better.
00:41:15.000He's going to have a work on behalf of American families and the American worker.
00:41:19.000And he's going to put Americans first as he did in his first term.
00:41:23.000And so, you know, they are obviously that is existential for the left and their, you know, slop and, you know, grift that they do.
00:41:32.000Um, You know, in Washington, D.C. So all that being said, you know, this case, obviously, I don't think the D.C. Circuit Court that just had the hearing is going to be the law of the land.
00:41:45.000Ultimately, the Supreme Court is going to take this case up, and they're going to define, you know, if there are bounds to presidential immunity, and if so, what are they?
00:41:53.000You know, the one thing I would point out that...
00:41:56.000Had everybody, you know, hot and excited, you know, on CNN and MSNBC was this idea of ordering SEAL Team 6 to murder a political opponent.
00:42:10.000Like, if that's your best example, like, that ain't gonna happen.
00:42:13.000You know, your dad would never do that.
00:42:16.000No, but you know what I'd like to see?
00:42:17.000If they actually get this done and the Democrats get their wish, I want them, you know, I want them to prosecute George W. Bush.
00:42:25.000For killing hundreds of thousands of people in the Middle East, for starting a war over weapons of mass destruction that did not actually exist.
00:42:32.000I want them to prosecute Obama for droning American citizens.
00:43:11.000And, you know, and I think as Republicans and as conservatives, we...
00:43:16.000Believe in sort of moral absolutes and the rule of law and what the left must laugh at us when we stand for something because they don't stand for anything other than raw political power and whatever it takes and whatever is politically expedient to get that power.
00:43:33.000And again, what goes around comes around.
00:43:36.000And I worry really about the future of our country if that's really where they want to go because this is not going to be any fun for anybody.
00:43:46.000Well, it clearly is. And you're right.
00:43:48.000We sit there and we worry about defending the republic.
00:43:51.000And we get in arguments, the difference.
00:43:54.000And they're significant. But we'll sit there.
00:44:00.000The Democrats push the idea of democracy because they want to be able to vote away your rights eventually as opposed to a constitutional republic.
00:44:09.000But we sit there and argue about that while the other side is sitting there being like, they're laughing their asses off.
00:44:14.000Like, the notion of the republic or a democracy, you know, big D, little d, however you want to look at it, and legalese, like, they're laughing their asses off that we're making these arguments and they're trampling all over that shit, like, with reckless abandon.
00:44:57.000So we touched on this one a little bit.
00:45:00.000I want to get your take. You know, the Fannie Willis Fulton County, you know, she's now been accused of hiring her boyfriend, right, to prosecute my father.
00:45:08.000He's a guy that's never actually tried a case criminally, was brought in to do this, paid, I believe it's $654,000.
00:45:18.000He had hour-long, hours-long meetings, I think eight hours billed at the Biden White House.
00:45:26.000That doesn't seem like it's above board or there would be any reason for that.
00:45:31.000It's almost like they're colluding with the White House to rig an election.
00:45:36.000Seems like a whole litany of ethical conflicts of interest.
00:45:41.000What more from a legal standpoint do you see that's going there beyond sort of the obvious?
00:45:46.000I don't think you have to be a legal scholar to be like, what the hell is going on?
00:45:50.000But does it matter? I mean, wouldn't this be grounds just to throw that out to begin with at this point?
00:45:56.000Yeah, well, first of all, there's no doubt that the Biden White House is the puppet master in all of these cases, whether it's the New York Attorney General, whether it's the Fulton County prosecutor, whether it's Jack Smith and his prosecutions.
00:46:11.000There's just no doubt that the White House is the puppet master pulling all these strings and really, quite frankly, I think trying to affect the timing of how all these cases go down leading up to the election.
00:47:22.000You have three branches of government designed to sort of keep each other in check.
00:47:25.000Once you get to some of these state levels, and there's a reason...
00:47:29.000You know, they're trying these in New York State, in Washington, D.C., not federally, where at least you have the option of bringing it up to the Supreme Court.
00:47:40.000In Fulton County, Georgia, like, you know, 97% Democrat Fulton County, Georgia, or whatever it is, but close.
00:47:48.000There's a reason they're venue shopping.
00:47:50.000You know, they're essentially jury tampering by knowing that there's almost no chance you get someone on a jury who would either agree with Trump or...
00:47:59.000Even if they did agree with Trump, would risk life and limb to be the guy in that town to let Trump off, right?
00:48:05.000You think in New York City, you could be a MAGA Republican, you end up on that jury, like, you wouldn't be able to show up to your kid's school again if you were the guy to release Trump.
00:48:35.000I think, ultimately, the state legislature in Georgia and the governor, Governor Kemp, is going to have to take control of Fulton County one way or another.
00:48:46.000I know that I just was with your father in Iowa this last weekend, and he talks about how we need to take federal control of Washington, D.C. for the same reasons.
00:48:55.000Is that true? You know, it's political failure.
00:48:57.000And it's, you know, it's people that are incompetent, that are using their positions of power to not help people's lives, not to make people's lives better, not to lower crime in Fulton County, but to, you know, score political points with their overlords at the White House.
00:49:13.000And these are serious, serious concerns.
00:49:16.000But ultimately, the people of Fulton County are going to have to rise up and eliminate these people who are...
00:49:22.000But will they? I mean, it's sort of like the open border, right?
00:49:38.000They're saying this. I mean, there was, what was it?
00:49:40.000One of the ladies in New York, you know, elected official there.
00:49:43.000No, no, no. We need more people illegally here because the way the redistricting work, I got to put those people in here so they vote for it.
00:50:11.000So I, the problem is you're not wrong, but I don't know that they ever actually care.
00:50:17.000care. I think that, oh, politically we'll get what we want.
00:50:20.000If we get a bigger handout, we'll keep voting the same way.
00:50:23.000It doesn't matter. They could be failing us.
00:50:24.000Now we're going to flood an already packed school system across the country with more illegals, many of whom don't speak English, won't make effort.
00:50:32.000I have friends that have kids in public schools and places, and two days a week, all of their classes are in Spanish because it's that heavily weighted.
00:50:40.000I'm like, wait a second. You actually have to learn how to speak Spanish to get an education in America.
00:50:45.000Like, I don't care if you take Spanish as a class.
00:50:47.000It's probably a fairly useful language.
00:51:00.000We're literally second-class citizens in our own country.
00:51:03.000Yeah, and you're right, but I think the voters in Fulton County are probably willing to put up with a lot in this prosecutor and going after Donald Trump.
00:51:13.000However, I don't think anybody, no matter whether you're a Republican, Democrat, liberal, conservative, nobody likes to have their money stolen and put in the pockets of your boyfriend.
00:51:34.000And, you know, it is to get a new lower class of Democrat voters with, you know, uneducated, unskilled folks, unfortunately, which hurts black communities significantly, by the way.
00:51:49.000I mean, it actually hurts the lowest income earners who were finally, they were seeing real gains for the first time in a long time under Trump.
00:51:56.000And this is gone. Do those communities...
00:51:59.000I think they get it, actually, in the Hispanic community.
00:52:36.000Will they get that message through eventually?
00:52:39.000Yeah, I don't think any doubt Hispanics do.
00:52:41.000And I think, you know, the best person to explain that is your dad, who's doing exactly that and is explaining how these policies of the left are hurting all Americans, blacks, whites, browns, you know, everyone that was here, came here legally. You know, some of I know that some of your father's best supporters and most Ardent voters are first-generation immigrants that came here legally and lawfully and have lived the American dream.
00:53:15.000They understand what he created and what he will protect.
00:53:19.000And nobody except these radical leftists would support these open borders.
00:53:25.000And I remember so much when I worked with him We focused a lot on the policies like remain in Mexico, safe third country, all the things that were working in the Trump administration.
00:53:39.000And again, we're going to have to just do that even more when we come back and solve this problem again.
00:53:45.000And then hopefully we can get just a peppercorn of help from Congress.
00:53:50.000To make our, especially our asylum process, work where not everybody can claim asylum and then wait for 8 or 10 years to get a hearing and then while they're waiting stay in the United States and work with a green card.
00:54:06.000So, I guess, moving on to like this thing in Colorado, right?
00:54:10.000There's sort of another big one where you have, you know, a leftist, I guess, Secretary of State sort of acting on their own to do that.
00:54:16.000that. Now the Supreme Court is going to hear the literally insane Colorado
00:54:21.000ballot case, but can you lay out the legal issues there and where the
00:54:26.000Colorado Supreme Court completely misapplied Section 3 of the 14th
00:54:31.000Amendment and what that is for our viewers? Because you know this one's sort
00:54:33.000of like you know we're doing the hey he's back on the ballot victory lap but
00:54:38.000the reality is this is a radicalized leftist in there. If the Supreme Court
00:54:44.000put it on pause she would definitely take Trump off the ballot if they could
00:54:47.000do that again. You know it's not the win we think it is, it sort of stayed because
00:54:53.000it's in the Supreme Court, but it's not quite as simple as sort of you know some
00:54:56.000people on the right are making it you know, in a clip for Twitter. Yeah.
00:55:00.000And I think, you know, the main case isn't ripe yet.
00:55:03.000That Secretary of State made the decision that has been appealed to the courts.
00:55:08.000And so that's going to have to work its way through the main courts.
00:55:11.000Obviously, the whole game right now is the Colorado Supreme Court decision that has been appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
00:55:17.000And, you know, there's a lot of legal arguments that...
00:55:23.000I think the one that the Supreme Court is going to try to, and John Roberts, the Chief Justice, is going to try to coalesce as many justices and possibly even all of them, all nine of them, is this idea of due process.
00:55:38.000First of all, Section 3 of Article 14 isn't self-executing.
00:55:44.000Section 5, if you read the entire amendment to the 14th Amendment, the entire amendment, It says that Congress has to pass laws to effectuate and execute this 14th Amendment.
00:56:04.000I mean, I could see the Colorado case or perhaps...
00:56:07.000Perhaps the main case. That one was even more crazy to me because it wasn't like it was based on legal.
00:56:10.000You have a secretary of state who's not even a lawyer saying, I watch some YouTube videos and therefore I am unilaterally deciding this.
00:56:17.000Again, while preaching for democracy, one person in a state of millions decides that they can by themselves remove someone from a ballot.
00:56:25.000It's insane. But reading the letter of the law never seems to matter, right?
00:56:29.000Just like... The left seems to conveniently always forget, like, the whole shall not be infringed, you know, from the Second Amendment, right?
00:56:39.000It's, you know, if you had to write it as if you're explaining it to a three-year-old, maybe you use another word other than infringe, but basically, if you have more than, like, a third-grade education, that one should be pretty clear, and yet it doesn't matter.
00:56:54.000I think the court is also going to look at this whole idea of due process in connection with how Section 5 of the 14th Amendment interacts with Section 3.
00:57:05.000The bottom line is Colorado trial court had a slapdash hearing.
00:57:09.000There was no ability to subpoena witnesses, no ability to subpoena documents, no ability to...
00:57:16.000Due discovery. And so there was no due process.
00:57:19.000So your father had really no ability to...
00:58:20.000I think what everybody should do, as much attention that was given to that D.C. Circuit
00:58:25.000Court case recently, and everybody listened to the audio, everyone should listen to the
00:58:30.000audio of the Supreme Court hearing on the 8th of February, because John Roberts and
00:58:37.000especially Clarence Thomas and Alito and some of the conservative rock stars will eviscerate
00:58:43.000the Colorado advocates for that position.
00:58:49.000I mean, okay, so, you know, obviously Alito would be great.
00:58:52.000Obviously Clarence Thomas. Do you think John Roberts will be great on that one?
00:58:55.000Because, I mean, you know, as a conservative, it feels like he's sort of the guy that, you know, often gives the other side what they want.
00:59:04.000You're not going to hear me defending John Roberts consistently.
00:59:09.000But, that being said, he is reflexively center-right, and has typically come out, for example, on Dobbs, which reversed Roe v.
01:00:24.000Can you give us a little bit of the lay of the land?
01:00:27.000And then, honestly, really, you know, for those who are watching, it's not, you know, if you're not from Iowa, you can't vote in the caucus process.
01:00:33.000But can you explain how the caucus process works?
01:00:36.000You know, people are used to just sort of, you know, they show up at a primary in the vote and, you know, other places.
01:00:40.000But it's a little bit different in Iowa.
01:00:42.000Can you talk about that process and talk about the lay of the land and what you're seeing?
01:00:46.000I think, first of all, we're feeling really good about the campaign we've put together here in Iowa for President Trump.
01:00:52.000But we can't take anything for granted.
01:00:54.000We need every single person to show up.
01:01:02.000And you've been here in this state when it's cold.
01:01:05.000However, thank God for global warming, right?
01:01:08.000I mean, imagine how cold it would be if we didn't have global warming.
01:01:10.000Exactly. I feel like we just need to encourage every single Iowan that supports President Trump to return to the White House, shows up, you know, be there by 7 p.m.
01:01:27.000Caucuses are called, you know, and it's more of a meeting, and it's a party.
01:01:33.000It's a Republican Party organizing function, and then a straw poll attached to that, a preference poll for President Trump.
01:01:41.000That are then reported and that should come out by about 10 p.m.
01:01:45.000local time, which is 11 Eastern, that we should have the results and we should expect a big win.
01:01:51.00012 points here in Iowa is the biggest margin of victory in a competitive caucus and that was Bob Dole in 1988.
01:01:58.000Actually, I went to my first caucus in 1988 as a senior in high school and got extra credit in my government class as a fun little trivia matter.
01:02:07.000But the, you know, we are taking nothing for granted.
01:02:20.000We're going to places that, you know, typically would not host a Donald Trump event, you know, and we're going to Newton We were just in there last week.
01:02:29.000I'm going to Indianola. We're going to Atlantic Iowa.
01:02:33.000So we are going to be everywhere and make sure that we motivate folks to show up on Monday.
01:02:41.000And you don't, you know, if you're a Republican Trump supporter or a Trump supporter that is registered as a Democrat or an Independent, you can change your registration.
01:02:50.000You can register to vote that day as long as you're a citizen and qualify to vote in Iowa.
01:03:33.000You know, it's like they're trying to get our guys to stay home so that when you win by 20 points, you win by 15 points in what would historically be a drubbing.
01:03:44.000They say, look, there's blood in the water.
01:03:46.000And then, you know, the people start donating to Nikki Haley.
01:03:49.000You know, people forget, you know, Ron DeSantis has been living in Iowa.
01:03:53.000You know, he spent like $200 million in basically and essentially what's a one state campaign to try to overperform there.
01:04:57.000Yeah, and obviously a big win in Iowa, by not only getting over 50%, but I think also
01:05:05.000beating that record of 12 points sets the tone.
01:05:09.000And, you know, obviously on in New Hampshire, on to South Carolina, and, you know, on in Nevada and then Super Tuesday.
01:05:15.000So, you know, I think we'll, you know, we will do our part here in Iowa.
01:05:19.000And I don't think we're taking anything for granted, but anybody that is supporting your father in Iowa needs to understand no matter how cold it is, no matter how windy, no matter if, you know, there's already snow on the ground here.
01:05:30.000We're going to get another five. Inches to a foot on Friday.
01:05:37.000Yeah, I have a feeling the Trump voter's probably a little tougher than the Rhino voter, so you guys have no excuses, okay?
01:05:44.000I'll be there, you know, on Monday as well, and I live in Florida where, let's just say, my tolerance for the cold has greatly diminished, okay?
01:05:53.000And so if I can handle it, you guys can handle it.
01:05:56.000Get out there and show up. I'm guessing you have a fur coat of some animal you've shot somewhere that's warm enough.
01:06:02.000Just to really drive the lip, I should get like a bear.
01:06:05.000Wear a bearskin rug just to really watch the libs lose their freaking minds.
01:06:11.000If I haven't already, I may have to make one of those just for caucus purposes.
01:06:16.000But talk a little bit about the uniqueness of Iowa.
01:06:19.000You know, you actually see sort of a lot of pride of the voters in having a caucus as opposed to a more traditional thing.
01:06:28.000You know, we get there. I'm like, I don't even know what a caucus is.
01:06:31.000So, you know, when they started Russia, Russia, Russia, the collusion, I'm like...
01:06:35.000Dude, we couldn't collude to order a cheeseburger, let alone with Russia.
01:06:39.000I show up to the Iowa Gorgias, I'm like, so what exactly is this?
01:06:43.000But there is a sort of unique pride there.
01:06:45.000Talk about that a little bit. Yeah, well, I mean, it goes back, I think, you know, back to, you know, 1976, and Jimmy Carter decided he was going to participate in the Iowa caucuses, which, again, is the party organizing function where we elect, you know, delegates to the county and the district conventions.
01:07:48.000I don't know. I've only met him three times.
01:07:50.000And it's very much a hands-on process.
01:07:53.000You'll end up with somewhere between 150,000 and 200,000 caucus goers, which is not a big number, but it's a legit number in a state of 3 million.
01:08:02.000And it's, again, people, I think there's a very discerning political class here that can judge candidates and judge their mettle, ask all the questions, lots of town halls.
01:08:13.000You know, your dad loves taking questions.
01:08:14.000I mean, he pours into the crowd and shakes every hand and signs every autograph.
01:08:19.000And I just think there's a tradition here that you can't do in big states.
01:08:23.000You couldn't do this in Florida. You couldn't do this in California.
01:09:37.000Or is it sort of, you know, across the board right now with the economy and the border?
01:09:40.000Yeah. Yeah, it's economy and the border.
01:09:43.000I think it's also just, you know, a patriotism.
01:09:48.000You know, what Joe Biden has done to America and how, you know, the lack...
01:09:56.000Our fellow citizens, but internationally, you know, I think Donald Trump was a great ambassador for the country.
01:10:05.000You know, he stood for what America, you know, kind of that John Wayne character that sort of just is unafraid to take on the big challenges to face our country.
01:10:15.000I think the biggest challenge in 16 and 17 when we came in to the admin is that we had a lot of people like Paul Ryan, for example, as Speaker of the House, and others that worked actively against us that were supposed to be our fellow Republicans.
01:10:32.000I think a lot of those folks have been shuttled off to the wayside.
01:10:35.000I think we have a lot more MAGA folks that are ready, willing, and able to make a huge difference this next time around.
01:10:42.000And I think that's going to make your father even more effective as president.
01:10:47.000Yeah, it feels like a lot of this is really also like the last stand of the rhino.
01:11:32.000And I think that scares them a lot more because they understand that you'll get much more of a MAGA agenda because of it.
01:11:39.000No, you're right. And I think that's going to be the most important thing is the personnel and the people in these spots.
01:11:46.000And I think at the end of the day, I'd be happy with a loyal but skeleton crew that's willing to do the agenda.
01:11:53.000Because I mean, obviously, at the Department of Justice, there are all sorts of people that were proactively working against our agenda, whether it was on immigration and the immigration courts, whether it was on religious liberty, for example, is a big issue that we worked really hard on.
01:12:10.000So I think there's a lot of issues that we're going to have to roll up our sleeves and do.
01:12:14.000And personnel is going to be policy, and we need to make sure we've got great people in all the important roles, and even non-important roles, because those people can throw sand in the gears, too.
01:12:26.000Oh, 100%. I mean, you got to go across the board.
01:12:28.000So talk a little bit about that. I mean, what do you see as that day one agenda for my father when he gets back into office?
01:12:35.000And maybe, you know, specifically as it relates to the Department of Justice.
01:12:38.000I mean, you obviously, you know it intimately.
01:12:41.000You understand how badly it's been subverted and how weaponized it's become.
01:12:48.000You know, talk about all those things, but maybe specifically the Department of Justice, because, you know, obviously that's your bailiwick.
01:12:54.000Yeah, I think so much of it is just getting the Department of Justice back to the blocking and tackling of law enforcement and doing the things that they should be doing and staying away from the things that they have no business sticking with.
01:13:08.000Are you saying you don't think that the Department of Justice should be Joe Biden's personal defense fund as well as the Democrat Party's attack dog against all of their political opposition?
01:13:24.000Okay, just making sure. I was like, that sounds crazy almost to me at this point, given what we've witnessed.
01:13:29.000Yeah, you know, the Department of Justice, obviously, just it has its hands in it.
01:13:35.000I mean, as the lawyers for the admin and for the president, you know, at OLC, for example, you know, you are the ones that say what's legal and what's not legal.
01:13:48.000I think we've got to get back to spending a lot of time on crime in our major cities.
01:13:54.000I think we're going to have to somehow figure out a way to work with our police chiefs in these major cities and help these folks that are just...
01:14:05.000I mean, Washington, D.C., for example, and I know that...
01:14:10.000President Trump has a plan for Washington, D.C. But, you know, a thousand carjackings last year, three every day carjackings, people being shot and killed.
01:14:21.000And I mean, that's something that I think we should address.
01:14:24.000And it's kind of the bread and butter law enforcement issues that the Department of Justice needs to get back to and quit worrying about fighting the culture wars and And all the things that they're currently doing.
01:14:38.000It's really ridiculous what the Department of Justice has become under Merrick Garland and Joe Biden.
01:14:43.000But they have been very entrenched, right?
01:14:46.000In the swamp, you have those political appointees.
01:14:49.000They can be fired in a new administration.
01:14:51.000But what can you really do to take on the entrenched career bureaucrats?
01:14:56.000They were put in positions that aren't necessarily appointed positions.
01:15:24.000These are lawful and ethical, you know, Ideas and policies that we're going to put in place.
01:15:32.000And then, you know, if people aren't willing to do that, you know, you have to be willing to, you know, get them away from hurting anything.
01:15:40.000But at the same time, you know, there are some other authorities and hiring that you can do.
01:15:46.000But I think the first thing we're going to have to do, Don, is find out who...
01:15:50.000This current administration, the Biden administration, burrowed in into these spots that were political, and now they're making them careers, and undo those, because those are the most dangerous people, and we saw that after eight years of Obama.
01:16:02.000I think that was the one thing perhaps, not well, I think it's terrible for our country, but for purposes of turning us into a communist shithole, Obama was...
01:16:12.000Very good at that, and actually did that incredibly well for, again, for all the wrong things for America, but definitely effective for pushing the cause of Marxism.
01:16:25.000Yeah, and I think it also, in my experience, there were examples that I could point to that folks...
01:16:35.000We're burrowed in from the Obama administration.
01:16:38.000And then there were folks in the Trump administration that wanted to do similar, for example, become an AUSA in a U.S. attorney's office.
01:16:47.000And they were prevented from doing that because it was, you know, the careers determined they were too political.
01:16:53.000So I think there is a, you know, again, a roll up your sleeves and figure this out.
01:16:59.000But at the end of the day, you find your married band of People that believe in the president's agenda and you go accomplish that agenda and you lead, follow, or get out of the way.
01:17:11.000Well, I look forward to having you back in there as well doing just that.
01:17:16.000Iowa's Monday. Give us the final pitch.
01:17:33.000What's the last pitch? Because, you know, again, we need a call to action with all of these things, whether it's sort of supporting the businesses that are anti-woke and the stuff we talk about on the show this much.
