00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.560 Guaranteed human.
00:00:05.380 Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.
00:00:07.960 Ben Ferguson with you as well.
00:00:09.700 Senator, the Durham report is out,
00:00:12.640 and it's very clear that it vindicates Donald Trump.
00:00:17.220 I can't believe I'm saying this,
00:00:18.340 but even CNN said it vindicates Donald Trump.
00:00:21.400 It was very clear a witch hunt from the deep state
00:00:24.220 to go after the President of the United States of America
00:00:26.640 and to try to destroy him, his family,
00:00:29.480 his entire life,
00:00:31.260 and to remind people of how much
00:00:33.520 they wanted to destroy Donald Trump.
00:00:36.780 Let's remind people of what Nancy Pelosi said
00:00:39.920 when all this started many years ago.
00:00:43.300 This week we saw cold, hard evidence
00:00:46.440 of the Trump campaign,
00:00:48.580 indeed the Trump family,
00:00:50.860 eagerly intending to collude possibly
00:00:53.900 with Russia,
00:00:55.440 a hostile foreign power
00:00:58.280 to influence American elections.
00:01:01.480 In the month, again, as we celebrate
00:01:03.520 the courage of our founders,
00:01:05.640 Republicans in Congress have become
00:01:07.620 enablers of the Trump-Russia assault
00:01:11.380 on our democracy.
00:01:13.540 After these latest revelations,
00:01:15.580 it's becoming clear we have suffered
00:01:17.060 a desecration of our democracy
00:01:19.460 not seen since Watergate.
00:01:22.020 Speaker Ryan must allow a vote
00:01:24.260 on an outside, independent commission
00:01:26.940 to get to the bottom
00:01:28.200 of the Trump campaign's rule
00:01:30.080 and Russia's assault on our democracy
00:01:31.980 and prevent Putin from ever doing it again,
00:01:35.260 immediately.
00:01:36.500 Outside, independent commission.
00:01:39.240 It's not just about what happened in the past,
00:01:41.900 it's to prevent it from happening again.
00:01:44.480 Senator, she knew she was lying
00:01:47.060 and she was calling for a full-on investigation
00:01:49.440 of Donald Trump and she got it.
00:01:52.900 Every word Nancy Pelosi said there was a lie.
00:01:56.120 You're right, she knew she was lying.
00:01:58.280 The media knew she was lying.
00:02:01.060 The Department of Justice knew she was lying.
00:02:04.760 The FBI knew she was lying.
00:02:08.820 Congressional Democrat leadership knew she was lying.
00:02:11.780 As I read this report, I'm angry.
00:02:14.700 I'm angry on multiple fronts.
00:02:17.400 Let me quote from the Durham report.
00:02:20.420 Quote,
00:02:21.140 Based on the evidence gathered
00:02:22.880 in the multiple exhaustive
00:02:24.060 and costly federal investigations
00:02:25.640 of these matters,
00:02:26.500 including the incident investigation,
00:02:29.020 neither U.S. law enforcement
00:02:31.020 nor the intelligence community
00:02:32.700 appears to have possessed
00:02:34.680 any actual evidence
00:02:37.440 of collusion
00:02:39.040 in their holdings
00:02:40.780 at the commencement
00:02:42.240 of the crossfire hurricane investigation.
00:02:44.700 The report continues,
00:02:46.300 Quote,
00:02:47.220 Our investigation determined
00:02:48.960 that the crossfire hurricane investigators
00:02:51.200 did not
00:02:51.980 and could not corroborate
00:02:54.180 any,
00:02:55.200 any
00:02:55.880 of the substantive allegations
00:02:58.240 contained in the Steele reporting,
00:03:00.420 nor was Steele able
00:03:02.100 to produce corroboration
00:03:03.960 for any of the reported
00:03:05.800 allegations,
00:03:06.700 even after being offered
00:03:09.520 one million dollars
00:03:11.640 or more
00:03:12.380 by the FBI
00:03:13.800 for such corroboration.
00:03:15.820 This investigation
00:03:16.920 was started as a lie
00:03:18.600 and it was started
00:03:20.480 as a political witch hunt.
00:03:22.160 Actually,
00:03:22.360 the words Trump used
00:03:23.360 were accurate.
00:03:24.080 This was a witch hunt.
00:03:25.340 This was Democrats
00:03:26.760 in Congress.
00:03:27.800 This was rabid
00:03:28.920 left-wing partisans
00:03:30.360 burrowed into the FBI.
00:03:31.940 This was rabid
00:03:33.100 left-wing partisans
00:03:34.140 burrowed into
00:03:34.800 the Department of Justice
00:03:35.920 all using the machinery
00:03:37.980 of law enforcement
00:03:39.880 to target
00:03:40.840 what was then
00:03:42.280 the Republican nominee
00:03:43.440 for president.
00:03:44.640 This is a grotesque
00:03:46.560 abuse of power
00:03:47.800 and if you're not angry at it,
00:03:50.380 even if you're a Democrat,
00:03:51.920 even if you can't stand Trump,
00:03:54.160 the idea that the federal government
00:03:56.640 would go after
00:03:58.620 one of the two major party nominees
00:04:01.220 and try to destroy them
00:04:02.860 because they hate him
00:04:04.080 is an incredible threat
00:04:06.620 to our liberty
00:04:07.400 and to our democracy
00:04:08.700 and I use those words
00:04:10.260 without a sense of irony
00:04:12.480 because the Democrats,
00:04:14.380 as you just played,
00:04:15.140 Nancy Pelosi said,
00:04:16.260 we're defending democracy,
00:04:17.380 defending democracy.
00:04:18.760 She was engaged
00:04:20.060 in as fundamental
00:04:21.500 an assault on democracy
00:04:22.820 as our country
00:04:23.480 has ever seen.
00:04:24.220 It was using law enforcement
00:04:26.440 to try
00:04:27.340 to prevent
00:04:28.700 the American people
00:04:29.660 from electing someone
00:04:30.560 she didn't want
00:04:31.420 and then to try
00:04:32.420 to remove
00:04:33.100 a duly elected president
00:04:34.580 because she hated
00:04:36.340 the voters
00:04:36.860 for electing him.
00:04:37.700 Is it too strong,
00:04:39.180 Senator,
00:04:39.360 to call this,
00:04:40.460 and I think it's time
00:04:41.740 just that we're blunt,
00:04:44.040 is this,
00:04:44.680 was this basically
00:04:45.600 in essence
00:04:46.100 a coup attempt
00:04:46.680 by the deep state
00:04:47.460 to say,
00:04:47.980 we don't like
00:04:48.480 who the American people chose
00:04:49.780 and therefore
00:04:50.740 we're going to fix it
00:04:51.620 by,
00:04:52.240 on false pretenses,
00:04:54.580 framing someone
00:04:55.460 for crimes,
00:04:56.560 framing somebody
00:04:57.420 for things
00:04:57.920 they never did,
00:04:59.580 writing a script
00:05:00.940 to frame them for it
00:05:02.280 and then get rid
00:05:03.280 of that person?
00:05:04.060 So yes and no.
00:05:06.260 There were some
00:05:07.060 engaged in a coup attempt.
00:05:09.320 In fact,
00:05:10.460 if I may be so bold
00:05:12.280 as to use the word
00:05:13.240 insurrection,
00:05:14.580 when you're trying
00:05:15.600 to topple
00:05:16.320 a duly elected government,
00:05:17.700 it's an insurrection
00:05:18.560 and what Nancy Pelosi
00:05:20.060 was trying to do,
00:05:20.960 what congressional Democrats
00:05:22.040 were trying to do
00:05:22.780 was an insurrection.
00:05:25.140 I think some of the
00:05:26.700 hard partisans
00:05:27.980 at DOJ
00:05:28.680 and the FBI
00:05:29.340 were doing the same.
00:05:31.160 I think others
00:05:32.040 were just complacent.
00:05:33.180 So let me read again
00:05:34.660 from the Durham report.
00:05:36.920 Quote,
00:05:37.600 based on the review
00:05:39.060 of Crossfire Hurricane
00:05:40.120 and related intelligence
00:05:41.220 activities,
00:05:42.520 we conclude
00:05:43.380 that the department
00:05:44.560 and the FBI
00:05:45.760 failed to uphold
00:05:46.900 their important mission
00:05:48.100 of strict fidelity
00:05:49.780 to the law
00:05:50.540 in connection
00:05:51.880 with certain events
00:05:52.740 and activities
00:05:53.360 described in this report.
00:05:55.040 As noted,
00:05:56.580 former FBI attorney
00:05:57.960 Kevin Clinesmith
00:05:59.240 committed a criminal
00:06:01.020 offense
00:06:01.600 by fabricating
00:06:03.420 language in an email
00:06:04.580 that was material
00:06:05.500 to the FBI
00:06:06.300 in obtaining
00:06:07.000 a FISA surveillance order.
00:06:09.500 In other instance,
00:06:11.660 FBI personnel
00:06:12.800 working on the same
00:06:14.060 FISA application
00:06:15.140 displayed at best
00:06:16.840 a cavalier attitude
00:06:19.320 towards accuracy
00:06:20.600 and completeness.
00:06:22.380 Now,
00:06:23.340 the Durham report continues.
00:06:24.700 Our investigation
00:06:26.560 also revealed
00:06:27.540 that senior FBI
00:06:28.500 personnel
00:06:29.140 displayed a serious
00:06:31.060 lack of analytical
00:06:32.100 rigor
00:06:32.920 towards the information
00:06:34.700 that they received,
00:06:36.600 especially information
00:06:38.220 from politically
00:06:39.200 affiliated
00:06:40.020 persons
00:06:40.860 and entities.
00:06:42.400 and the report
00:06:44.260 continues
00:06:44.820 in light
00:06:45.220 of the foregoing.
00:06:46.880 There is a continuing
00:06:47.620 need for the FBI
00:06:48.760 and the department
00:06:49.400 to recognize
00:06:50.100 that lack
00:06:50.960 of analytical rigor,
00:06:52.160 apparent
00:06:52.640 confirmation bias,
00:06:55.040 and an over-willingness
00:06:56.700 to rely on information
00:06:58.000 from individuals
00:06:59.100 connected
00:07:00.220 to political opponents
00:07:01.920 caused investigators
00:07:04.160 to fail
00:07:04.780 to adequately consider
00:07:05.900 alternative hypotheses
00:07:07.080 and to act
00:07:08.320 without appropriate
00:07:09.180 objectivity
00:07:10.400 or restraint
00:07:12.060 in pursuing
00:07:12.760 allegations
00:07:13.460 of collusion
00:07:14.240 or conspiracy
00:07:14.860 between a U.S.
00:07:15.800 political campaign
00:07:16.680 and a foreign power.
00:07:19.000 This is damning
00:07:20.540 and it shows
00:07:22.040 a combination
00:07:22.580 of people
00:07:23.440 on a
00:07:24.360 mission
00:07:26.000 to destroy
00:07:26.940 their political opponents
00:07:27.980 and perfectly happy
00:07:28.880 to use law enforcement
00:07:29.780 to do it
00:07:30.340 and others
00:07:31.640 who had
00:07:32.960 such a sense
00:07:33.900 of laxity
00:07:34.720 that they were
00:07:36.000 perfectly fine
00:07:36.840 to be part
00:07:37.260 of the process
00:07:37.860 and no one
00:07:38.760 who stood up
00:07:39.460 and said
00:07:39.880 what the hell
00:07:41.780 are we doing?
00:07:43.760 And that's what I wonder
00:07:44.980 is there no one
00:07:45.760 in DOJ,
00:07:46.580 no one in FBI
00:07:47.480 who had a shred
00:07:48.320 of integrity
00:07:49.020 who said
00:07:50.340 even if they're
00:07:52.740 a Democrat,
00:07:53.440 gosh,
00:07:53.740 I don't like Trump
00:07:54.500 but we don't have
00:07:55.800 evidence here
00:07:56.480 to launch
00:07:57.060 a massive investigation
00:07:58.120 to try to
00:07:59.000 influence
00:08:00.080 and shift
00:08:01.000 the results
00:08:01.720 of an election
00:08:02.340 and try to remove
00:08:03.360 a duly elected president.
00:08:04.800 As far as
00:08:05.920 this report
00:08:06.920 indicates
00:08:07.500 nobody
00:08:08.880 had that
00:08:10.260 integrity
00:08:10.700 to say that.
00:08:12.320 I want to talk
00:08:12.860 about naming names
00:08:13.740 and I think
00:08:14.220 this is part
00:08:14.980 of the accountability
00:08:15.740 that the American
00:08:16.720 people,
00:08:17.340 Senator,
00:08:17.560 are just sick
00:08:18.060 and tired of
00:08:18.620 and I've got
00:08:19.060 a list of people
00:08:19.840 and I want to ask
00:08:20.680 you if you believe
00:08:21.660 are they guilty
00:08:22.920 and should the
00:08:24.400 American people
00:08:25.000 trust them
00:08:25.540 and before I go
00:08:26.220 through that list
00:08:26.840 I want to talk
00:08:27.340 to you about
00:08:27.640 our friends over at

00:08:36.540 don't feel like

00:09:40.960 Senator, let's go
00:09:41.760 through this list
00:09:42.540 and very clearly
00:09:44.720 let's talk about
00:09:46.760 the players.
00:09:47.900 First of all,
00:09:48.620 let's start at the
00:09:49.220 top with the
00:09:49.740 FBI.
00:09:50.880 Is it clear that
00:09:51.680 the FBI was
00:09:52.420 guilty of lying to
00:09:53.120 the American people?
00:09:55.700 Unquestionably,
00:09:56.220 yes.
00:09:56.640 And in fact,
00:09:57.500 it is a fact.
00:09:59.060 So Andrew
00:09:59.480 Klein-Smith,
00:10:00.240 who I mentioned
00:10:01.440 before,
00:10:02.360 he was an
00:10:03.060 assistant general
00:10:03.780 counsel at the
00:10:04.360 FBI.
00:10:05.420 He fabricated,
00:10:06.900 he created a
00:10:07.720 counterfeit document.
00:10:08.900 He committed a
00:10:09.420 felony.
00:10:10.500 And the
00:10:11.440 circumstances of
00:10:13.020 that, as you
00:10:14.020 know, we've talked
00:10:14.720 about this on the
00:10:15.400 pod before.
00:10:16.460 The last book I
00:10:17.720 wrote,
00:10:18.200 Justice Corrupted,
00:10:19.200 How the Left
00:10:19.760 Has Weaponized
00:10:20.460 the Legal System.
00:10:21.160 And I encourage
00:10:21.760 folks, go buy
00:10:22.560 Justice Corrupted.
00:10:23.760 There's an entire
00:10:24.600 chapter that walks
00:10:25.880 through what the
00:10:27.360 DOJ did, what
00:10:28.260 the FBI did.
00:10:29.520 But Andrew
00:10:30.080 Klein-Smith was
00:10:32.320 seeking a
00:10:33.520 wiretap on
00:10:35.260 Carter Page.
00:10:36.120 Carter Page was
00:10:36.800 an academic.
00:10:37.540 He was giving
00:10:37.940 foreign policy
00:10:38.680 advice to the
00:10:39.380 Trump campaign.
00:10:40.240 This is in
00:10:40.820 2016, in the
00:10:42.480 summer and fall
00:10:43.100 of 2016.
00:10:44.840 And the
00:10:47.240 basis for the
00:10:48.160 wiretap was
00:10:48.980 Carter Page was
00:10:49.820 talking to some
00:10:50.660 shady Russians.
00:10:51.660 Now, generally
00:10:52.200 speaking, you
00:10:53.200 probably shouldn't
00:10:53.920 talk to shady
00:10:54.620 Russians.
00:10:55.860 But Andrew
00:10:56.700 Klein-Smith engaged
00:10:58.160 in a little due
00:10:58.740 diligence, and he
00:10:59.460 sent an email to
00:11:00.360 the CIA.
00:11:01.880 And he asked,
00:11:02.880 hey, is this
00:11:04.480 guy, Carter Page,
00:11:05.480 a source for the
00:11:06.640 CIA?
00:11:07.460 Now, if you
00:11:08.880 think about it,
00:11:09.760 the fact that
00:11:10.440 you're talking to
00:11:11.100 shady Russians,
00:11:11.940 ordinarily, maybe
00:11:12.780 that would be a
00:11:13.780 cause for suspicion.
00:11:15.420 But if you're
00:11:16.240 working for the
00:11:17.100 CIA, if you're
00:11:17.920 doing it on
00:11:18.740 behalf of the
00:11:19.540 United States
00:11:20.100 government, if
00:11:20.660 you're serving the
00:11:22.100 American people by
00:11:23.020 talking to shady
00:11:23.760 Russians, that's
00:11:25.060 that doesn't
00:11:25.460 raise suspicion,
00:11:26.140 that's actually a
00:11:26.940 good thing, you
00:11:27.440 ought to say
00:11:27.780 thank you.
00:11:29.140 So, Andrew
00:11:30.120 Klein-Smith emails
00:11:31.140 the CIA, says,
00:11:32.180 is Carter Page
00:11:32.800 a source for
00:11:33.360 you?
00:11:34.180 CIA emails back
00:11:35.320 and says, yes,
00:11:36.680 he is a source.
00:11:38.540 And Andrew
00:11:39.100 Klein-Smith, he
00:11:39.820 was such a
00:11:40.620 hardcore partisan,
00:11:41.860 he hated Trump
00:11:42.560 so much, he was
00:11:43.500 in an environment
00:11:44.260 where he was
00:11:45.080 surrounded by
00:11:45.740 hardcore partisans
00:11:46.620 that hated Trump
00:11:47.320 so much, they
00:11:48.040 wanted to go
00:11:48.640 after him.
00:11:49.480 He takes that
00:11:50.320 email, and he
00:11:51.780 alters it.
00:11:52.460 And he
00:11:53.300 doesn't alter
00:11:53.820 it slightly.
00:11:55.160 The email
00:11:55.620 says, yes,
00:11:56.580 Carter Page
00:11:57.120 is a source.
00:11:58.420 And Andrew
00:11:59.200 Klein-Smith changes
00:12:00.220 the email to
00:12:00.920 say, no,
00:12:02.980 Carter Page
00:12:03.600 is not a
00:12:04.580 source.
00:12:05.020 So he
00:12:05.600 alters it so
00:12:06.920 it says 180
00:12:08.240 degrees the
00:12:08.960 opposite of what
00:12:09.720 it said.
00:12:10.400 And then he
00:12:11.000 takes that
00:12:11.720 fraudulent
00:12:12.400 counterfeit
00:12:12.900 document, he
00:12:13.580 submits it to
00:12:14.440 the federal
00:12:14.820 court, the
00:12:15.280 FISA court,
00:12:15.860 and that
00:12:16.760 becomes one of
00:12:17.560 the important
00:12:18.140 bases for
00:12:19.880 seeking the
00:12:20.740 wiretap.
00:12:21.300 that is an
00:12:24.080 absolute
00:12:25.080 bombshell of
00:12:27.880 the FBI lying
00:12:29.120 to the American
00:12:29.700 people.
00:12:30.200 And listen, did
00:12:31.140 the other people
00:12:31.740 of the FBI lie?
00:12:32.860 Not directly, but
00:12:34.760 they created the
00:12:35.600 environment where
00:12:37.380 the DOJ and
00:12:38.460 the FBI viewed
00:12:39.820 getting Donald
00:12:41.300 Trump as the
00:12:43.300 preeminent
00:12:43.940 objective.
00:12:44.780 And so they
00:12:45.220 were willing to
00:12:46.440 ignore the
00:12:47.620 evidence.
00:12:48.820 And critically,
00:12:49.600 look, you look
00:12:50.100 at what Durham
00:12:50.600 said, they
00:12:52.080 had plenty of
00:12:52.780 indication that
00:12:53.720 this Steele
00:12:54.340 report was
00:12:55.420 garbage, that
00:12:57.120 it came for,
00:12:58.080 that it was
00:12:58.380 paid for by
00:12:59.080 the Hillary
00:12:59.440 Clinton campaign,
00:13:00.360 that it was
00:13:00.640 paid for by
00:13:01.260 the DNC.
00:13:02.080 And by the
00:13:02.440 way, law
00:13:03.340 enforcement in
00:13:04.040 a political
00:13:04.420 campaign ought
00:13:05.300 to view with
00:13:05.800 great skepticism
00:13:07.040 any oppo
00:13:08.820 document that
00:13:09.660 they receive
00:13:10.320 from someone's
00:13:11.040 political
00:13:11.380 opponent.
00:13:11.720 It doesn't
00:13:12.100 mean it
00:13:12.640 could never
00:13:13.200 be accurate,
00:13:14.380 but they
00:13:14.840 ought to
00:13:15.080 recognize whoever
00:13:15.880 prepared this
00:13:16.540 document has
00:13:17.220 every incentive
00:13:18.120 to lie, to
00:13:19.000 twist the
00:13:19.500 facts.
00:13:20.180 They want
00:13:20.780 to tear
00:13:21.160 this person
00:13:21.740 down, so
00:13:22.400 we should be
00:13:22.900 skeptical.
00:13:23.880 We should
00:13:24.420 not accept
00:13:25.080 it as face
00:13:25.600 value.
00:13:26.560 Because DOJ
00:13:27.660 and the FBI
00:13:28.360 hated Trump
00:13:29.040 so much,
00:13:30.300 they had none
00:13:31.160 of that
00:13:31.540 skepticism.
00:13:32.500 And that
00:13:33.500 is a failure
00:13:35.200 in the very
00:13:35.960 foundations of
00:13:37.200 how law
00:13:37.660 enforcement is
00:13:38.300 supposed to
00:13:38.680 operate.
00:13:39.600 The scary
00:13:39.920 part is what
00:13:40.540 you just
00:13:40.900 explained is
00:13:41.440 just the
00:13:41.960 FBI.
00:13:42.540 So let's
00:13:42.900 move on to
00:13:43.340 the DOJ.
00:13:44.180 Are they
00:13:44.440 guilty of lying
00:13:45.120 to the
00:13:45.360 American people
00:13:45.880 as well?
00:13:46.320 Of course
00:13:47.320 they are.
00:13:48.640 And the
00:13:49.500 DOJ, you
00:13:51.240 had people
00:13:51.680 like Bruce
00:13:52.280 Orr, whose
00:13:53.280 wife was
00:13:54.100 working with
00:13:54.840 Fusion GPS,
00:13:55.940 which was the
00:13:56.400 OPPO research
00:13:57.140 firm being
00:13:58.040 paid for by
00:13:58.820 Hillary Clinton,
00:13:59.500 and Bruce
00:13:59.860 Orr was an
00:14:00.480 associate deputy
00:14:01.520 attorney general
00:14:02.320 at the
00:14:02.540 Department of
00:14:03.000 Justice.
00:14:03.740 By the way,
00:14:04.420 under George
00:14:04.920 W. Bush, I
00:14:06.140 was an
00:14:06.460 associate deputy
00:14:07.220 attorney general
00:14:07.920 at the
00:14:08.120 Department of
00:14:08.540 Justice.
00:14:08.920 I've had
00:14:09.240 that job.
00:14:10.140 As an
00:14:10.520 aside, how
00:14:12.160 many times
00:14:12.760 do you have
00:14:13.120 a job that
00:14:13.680 has that many
00:14:14.280 modifiers?
00:14:15.460 Associate?
00:14:16.320 Yeah.
00:14:17.120 Deputy
00:14:17.640 attorney general.
00:14:19.260 It's a little
00:14:19.620 weird.
00:14:20.100 Government's
00:14:20.560 weird.
00:14:20.940 They call
00:14:21.620 that in
00:14:22.140 DOJ
00:14:22.560 parlance
00:14:23.100 an
00:14:23.720 ADAG.
00:14:24.380 By the
00:14:24.680 way, there's
00:14:25.040 a more
00:14:25.280 complicated
00:14:25.820 acronym, which
00:14:27.200 is there are
00:14:27.640 multiple
00:14:27.980 associate
00:14:28.480 deputies,
00:14:29.500 deputy
00:14:29.780 attorneys
00:14:30.180 general.
00:14:31.060 There's
00:14:31.540 also one
00:14:32.240 who is
00:14:32.560 the
00:14:32.740 principal
00:14:33.300 associate
00:14:34.440 deputy
00:14:34.920 attorney
00:14:35.240 general.
00:14:35.860 Instead
00:14:36.240 of an
00:14:36.540 ADAG,
00:14:36.980 that person's
00:14:37.520 called a
00:14:37.880 paydag,
00:14:38.920 because
00:14:39.420 government
00:14:39.920 can't exist
00:14:40.580 without
00:14:40.820 acronyms.
00:14:41.440 Bruce
00:14:42.640 Orr was
00:14:43.160 an
00:14:43.320 ADAG.
00:14:44.380 His
00:14:44.700 wife,
00:14:45.400 Nellie
00:14:45.700 Orr,
00:14:46.020 was working
00:14:46.600 for Fusion
00:14:47.120 GPS,
00:14:48.100 which was
00:14:48.580 on the
00:14:49.120 payroll of
00:14:49.760 Hillary Clinton.
00:14:51.060 And once
00:14:52.300 the FBI and
00:14:54.280 the Department
00:14:54.660 of Justice
00:14:55.140 stopped
00:14:55.780 dealing with
00:14:57.140 Steele,
00:14:58.100 who created
00:14:58.520 the Steele
00:14:58.940 dossier,
00:14:59.500 because he
00:14:59.840 had all
00:15:00.120 sorts of
00:15:00.560 reasons to
00:15:01.040 be untrustworthy,
00:15:03.000 Bruce Orr
00:15:03.480 and Nellie
00:15:03.900 Orr became
00:15:04.360 a back
00:15:04.800 channel,
00:15:05.400 and he
00:15:05.720 didn't tell
00:15:06.160 anyone.
00:15:06.500 So it
00:15:06.940 was the
00:15:07.260 Department
00:15:07.640 of Justice
00:15:08.180 again,
00:15:09.220 he was
00:15:09.760 perfectly
00:15:10.280 willing to
00:15:10.980 circumvent
00:15:11.640 the process
00:15:12.260 because he
00:15:14.040 hated Donald
00:15:14.680 Trump.
00:15:15.120 And it's
00:15:15.480 important to
00:15:15.940 understand,
00:15:17.140 the environment,
00:15:18.420 everyone there
00:15:19.260 thought there
00:15:20.120 is no universe
00:15:21.020 in which Trump
00:15:21.660 can win.
00:15:22.540 So we can
00:15:23.440 use all of
00:15:24.240 government to
00:15:24.760 attack him,
00:15:25.900 because Hillary
00:15:26.920 Clinton will be
00:15:27.580 president,
00:15:28.200 will have some
00:15:29.020 radical left
00:15:29.900 winger as
00:15:30.380 attorney general,
00:15:32.160 and so whatever
00:15:32.900 we do, we'll
00:15:33.580 never see the
00:15:34.080 light of day.
00:15:34.560 No one will
00:15:35.020 know it,
00:15:35.480 because Trump
00:15:37.220 will lose,
00:15:39.060 we're safe.
00:15:40.420 And then
00:15:40.820 suddenly Trump
00:15:41.500 won, and
00:15:41.940 they're like,
00:15:42.320 holy crap,
00:15:43.000 what do we
00:15:43.460 do, what do
00:15:43.900 we do?
00:15:44.220 And they
00:15:44.420 made a
00:15:44.760 decision.
00:15:45.800 So November,
00:15:47.120 December 2016,
00:15:48.920 January 2017,
00:15:50.340 they had a
00:15:51.000 moment where
00:15:51.420 they could
00:15:51.760 have said,
00:15:52.480 you know,
00:15:52.960 abandon ship,
00:15:53.860 let's stop
00:15:54.460 this attack,
00:15:55.200 he's the
00:15:55.520 newly elected
00:15:56.080 president,
00:15:56.680 let's respect
00:15:57.320 democracy.
00:15:58.720 He's the
00:15:59.180 president, we
00:15:59.720 don't like him,
00:16:00.380 but he's the
00:16:00.900 president, let's
00:16:02.700 accept his
00:16:03.960 legitimacy.
00:16:04.540 They not
00:16:05.300 only didn't
00:16:05.880 do that,
00:16:06.820 they made
00:16:07.500 the decision
00:16:08.240 to do
00:16:08.740 everything they
00:16:09.720 could to
00:16:10.160 tear him
00:16:10.580 down.
00:16:11.600 This was,
00:16:12.900 I believe,
00:16:13.760 the greatest
00:16:14.560 internal coup
00:16:16.020 within the
00:16:17.300 federal government
00:16:17.960 that our
00:16:18.660 nation has
00:16:19.500 ever seen.
00:16:20.320 And Trump
00:16:20.740 said,
00:16:21.220 they're
00:16:21.640 wiretapping
00:16:22.340 me, he
00:16:22.740 was right.
00:16:23.520 Trump said
00:16:24.120 they're coming
00:16:24.520 after me, he
00:16:25.180 was right.
00:16:25.980 Trump said
00:16:26.520 this is a
00:16:26.980 witch hunt, he
00:16:27.600 was right.
00:16:28.580 Listen, there
00:16:29.320 are lots of
00:16:29.780 things that
00:16:30.260 Trump says and
00:16:30.920 does that I
00:16:31.480 don't agree
00:16:31.920 with, but
00:16:33.460 the behavior
00:16:34.280 of DOJ
00:16:36.200 and the
00:16:36.680 FBI in
00:16:38.520 this
00:16:38.860 investigation
00:16:39.560 is without
00:16:40.820 exaggeration
00:16:41.880 the most
00:16:43.300 shameful
00:16:43.960 chapter in
00:16:44.800 the history
00:16:45.460 of the
00:16:46.220 Department of
00:16:46.760 Justice and
00:16:47.380 the FBI,
00:16:48.280 and there
00:16:49.200 is yet to
00:16:50.040 be real
00:16:51.060 accountability
00:16:51.560 for this
00:16:52.380 absolute
00:16:53.200 abuse of
00:16:53.900 power.
00:16:55.000 Yeah, it's
00:16:55.720 truly incredible
00:16:56.780 to see two
00:16:57.420 organizations use
00:16:58.460 this way.
00:16:58.860 Let's start
00:16:59.400 talking about
00:16:59.820 individuals.
00:17:01.160 Senator James
00:17:01.980 Comey, did he
00:17:02.840 lie to the
00:17:03.280 American people?
00:17:05.860 Repeatedly,
00:17:06.600 shamelessly,
00:17:07.440 unabashedly.
00:17:08.440 Look, James
00:17:09.020 Comey is
00:17:09.580 someone who
00:17:10.100 is deeply
00:17:10.800 political.
00:17:11.940 He was
00:17:12.660 deeply
00:17:13.040 political under
00:17:13.900 George W.
00:17:14.580 Bush.
00:17:15.220 He was
00:17:15.520 Deputy Attorney
00:17:16.140 General under
00:17:16.820 George W.
00:17:17.460 Bush.
00:17:18.300 He was
00:17:19.040 deeply
00:17:19.460 political under
00:17:20.280 Barack Obama.
00:17:21.860 He held
00:17:22.360 his big
00:17:22.800 press conference
00:17:23.620 where he
00:17:24.160 said, okay,
00:17:25.100 Hillary violated
00:17:26.460 the law when
00:17:27.380 she dealt with
00:17:27.860 her emails, but
00:17:28.680 it's not
00:17:29.060 enough to
00:17:29.580 indict.
00:17:30.240 That was
00:17:30.600 not the
00:17:30.980 job of
00:17:31.660 an FBI
00:17:32.120 director, but
00:17:32.880 he, I
00:17:33.840 think James
00:17:34.540 Comey fancies
00:17:36.200 himself as
00:17:36.940 J. Edgar
00:17:37.340 Hoover.
00:17:38.260 He wanted to
00:17:39.120 be the most
00:17:39.640 powerful FBI
00:17:40.560 director ever.
00:17:41.540 He wanted to
00:17:42.000 use his
00:17:42.580 power.
00:17:44.040 And look,
00:17:45.740 when I look
00:17:46.360 back to the
00:17:46.920 Trump presidency,
00:17:48.300 there are many,
00:17:49.620 many big
00:17:50.500 victories that we
00:17:51.480 won during the
00:17:52.220 Trump presidencies,
00:17:53.220 victories that I
00:17:53.960 worked hand in
00:17:54.860 hand with Donald
00:17:55.520 Trump to win,
00:17:56.700 big victories for
00:17:57.580 the American
00:17:58.000 people.
00:17:58.680 When I look
00:17:59.840 back at mistakes
00:18:01.120 in the Trump
00:18:01.740 presidency, there
00:18:03.620 were multiple,
00:18:05.120 but I don't know
00:18:05.900 that any was as
00:18:07.120 big as the fact
00:18:08.860 that Trump did
00:18:09.580 not fire James
00:18:10.700 Comey.
00:18:11.200 On January 20,
00:18:12.840 2017, I believe
00:18:14.060 Donald Trump
00:18:14.640 should have called
00:18:15.180 James Comey in
00:18:16.000 and said, Mr.
00:18:16.620 Comey, thank you
00:18:17.760 for your service
00:18:18.280 to the nation.
00:18:19.000 Your services
00:18:19.560 are no longer
00:18:20.260 required.
00:18:21.140 And the Trump
00:18:21.940 White House, I
00:18:22.640 think very naively,
00:18:24.060 believed they could
00:18:25.460 co-opt James
00:18:26.660 Comey.
00:18:27.020 They could bring
00:18:27.640 him on board,
00:18:28.260 they could make
00:18:28.700 him on board
00:18:29.160 the team,
00:18:29.640 and they did
00:18:30.140 not understand
00:18:31.060 the radiant
00:18:32.500 ambition in James
00:18:33.740 Comey, where
00:18:34.720 Comey went in
00:18:36.000 wanting to take
00:18:37.360 down Donald Trump,
00:18:38.500 and he should
00:18:38.860 have, if he'd
00:18:39.500 been fired on
00:18:40.380 day one, it
00:18:41.880 would have saved
00:18:42.680 the Trump
00:18:43.140 administration
00:18:44.020 thousands upon
00:18:46.040 thousands of
00:18:46.840 hours of
00:18:47.420 misery.
00:18:48.860 And it was a
00:18:49.560 serious mistake
00:18:50.300 because Comey
00:18:51.180 was more than
00:18:52.120 happy to try
00:18:53.600 to weaponize
00:18:54.580 the FBI
00:18:55.180 against a
00:18:55.900 president he
00:18:56.480 did not like
00:18:57.180 and did not
00:18:57.620 agree with.
00:18:58.920 Canadian women
00:18:59.780 are looking for
00:19:00.460 more.
00:19:01.100 More out of
00:19:01.480 themselves, their
00:19:02.300 businesses, their
00:19:03.240 elected leaders,
00:19:04.080 and the world
00:19:04.640 around them.
00:19:05.300 And that's why
00:19:05.740 we're thrilled to
00:19:06.440 introduce the
00:19:07.280 Honest Talk
00:19:07.940 podcast.

00:19:14.420 women.
00:19:15.140 Entrepreneurs,
00:19:15.860 artists,
00:19:16.540 athletes,
00:19:16.940 politicians,
00:19:17.880 and newsmakers
00:19:18.500 all at different
00:19:19.420 stages of their
00:19:20.300 journey.
00:19:20.940 So if you're
00:19:21.700 looking to

00:19:22.980 hope you'll
00:19:23.340 join us.
00:19:24.160 Listen to the
00:19:24.580 Honest Talk
00:19:25.020 podcast on
00:19:25.740 iHeartRadio or
00:19:26.760 wherever you
00:19:27.300 listen to your
00:19:27.740 podcasts.
00:19:29.880 Let's talk about
00:19:30.760 the biggest liar
00:19:31.580 of all who
00:19:32.460 started all,
00:19:33.420 Hillary Clinton.
00:19:34.780 And should
00:19:35.560 Hillary Clinton
00:19:36.380 have actually not
00:19:37.880 just be called
00:19:39.460 a liar,
00:19:40.180 Senator, but
00:19:40.620 should she be
00:19:42.100 held accountable
00:19:42.980 for what she
00:19:44.360 did?
00:19:44.800 And let me
00:19:45.240 remind everybody
00:19:46.300 of what Hillary
00:19:47.660 Clinton said
00:19:48.640 about this
00:19:50.300 lie back in
00:19:51.440 the day in
00:19:52.200 one of her
00:19:52.660 interviews.
00:19:53.440 To our
00:19:53.740 future, the
00:19:54.400 damage being
00:19:55.000 done to our
00:19:55.720 values, our
00:19:56.700 institutions, and
00:19:57.920 try to think of
00:19:58.700 ways that I can
00:19:59.560 help those who
00:20:00.280 are on the
00:20:00.800 front lines of
00:20:01.400 the fight.
00:20:01.900 Your name
00:20:02.220 doesn't come
00:20:02.740 up much on
00:20:03.820 any campaign
00:20:05.260 except for
00:20:06.280 Donald Trump's.
00:20:08.220 Lock her up
00:20:09.000 is still a big
00:20:10.500 popular line.
00:20:12.560 I believe he
00:20:13.400 knows he's an
00:20:14.080 illegitimate
00:20:14.640 president.
00:20:15.100 He knows, he
00:20:16.660 knows that there
00:20:18.400 were a bunch of
00:20:20.220 different reasons
00:20:21.000 why the election
00:20:22.440 turned out the
00:20:23.340 way it did.
00:20:24.080 And I take
00:20:24.580 responsibility for
00:20:25.460 those parts of
00:20:26.040 it that I
00:20:26.660 should, but
00:20:27.380 Jane, it was
00:20:27.760 like applying
00:20:28.360 for a job and
00:20:29.200 getting 66
00:20:30.360 million letters
00:20:31.920 of recommendation
00:20:33.360 and losing to
00:20:34.800 a corrupt
00:20:35.940 human tornado.
00:20:37.200 And so I
00:20:38.060 know that he
00:20:39.120 knows that this
00:20:40.700 wasn't on the
00:20:41.220 level.
00:20:41.700 I don't know
00:20:42.220 that we'll ever
00:20:42.720 know everything
00:20:43.440 that happened,
00:20:44.240 but clearly we
00:20:44.980 know a lot and
00:20:46.060 are learning more
00:20:46.640 every day and
00:20:47.300 history will probably
00:20:48.440 sort it all out.
00:20:49.400 So of course he's
00:20:50.060 obsessed with me and
00:20:51.440 I believe that it's
00:20:53.820 a guilty conscience
00:20:54.780 in so much as
00:20:55.400 it's a guilty
00:20:56.480 conscience.
00:20:57.220 Quote, he knows
00:20:57.820 he's an illegitimate
00:20:58.740 president.
00:20:59.920 I know that he
00:21:01.100 knows this wasn't
00:21:02.160 on the level.
00:21:03.600 History will probably
00:21:04.600 sort it all out.
00:21:05.840 Well, we now know
00:21:06.540 the history,
00:21:07.280 Senator.
00:21:07.480 Well, I gotta
00:21:09.360 say in 2023
00:21:10.580 I'm shocked
00:21:11.540 to hear a
00:21:12.760 Democrat
00:21:13.160 saying that
00:21:14.640 someone is an
00:21:15.300 illegitimate president
00:21:16.320 because I thought
00:21:17.800 that was like
00:21:18.840 undermining
00:21:19.440 democracy.
00:21:20.340 I thought that
00:21:20.840 was election
00:21:21.400 denialism.
00:21:22.760 And you'll
00:21:23.500 recall
00:21:23.980 when I went
00:21:26.020 last year,
00:21:27.460 last October
00:21:28.220 on The View
00:21:29.460 it was,
00:21:30.740 all right,
00:21:31.040 candidly,
00:21:32.000 you want to
00:21:32.680 talk about some
00:21:33.260 of the most
00:21:33.620 fun 24 hours
00:21:34.640 I had in my
00:21:35.140 life.
00:21:35.500 That was a
00:21:37.960 great trip
00:21:38.440 for you.
00:21:39.240 So, on October
00:21:40.240 evening,
00:21:41.160 a crisp,
00:21:42.060 beautiful fall
00:21:43.140 evening,
00:21:43.960 I go up to
00:21:44.820 New York City
00:21:45.420 and I go to
00:21:46.540 Yankee Stadium.
00:21:48.120 And in Yankee
00:21:48.760 Stadium,
00:21:49.520 I watch my
00:21:51.260 Houston Astros
00:21:52.220 sweep the
00:21:53.180 Yankees.
00:21:54.420 In Yankee
00:21:55.180 Stadium,
00:21:55.740 it's game
00:21:56.080 four,
00:21:56.520 we won four
00:21:57.120 games in a
00:21:57.580 row in the
00:21:57.940 ALCS.
00:21:59.360 And as you
00:22:00.280 know,
00:22:00.900 I was in
00:22:02.020 the second
00:22:02.520 row behind
00:22:04.620 home
00:22:05.340 plate and
00:22:06.780 I was in
00:22:07.440 bright orange
00:22:08.620 Astros colors
00:22:10.180 proudly representing
00:22:11.520 the Astros.
00:22:12.280 And I got to
00:22:12.620 say there were
00:22:13.080 at least
00:22:13.700 a hundred,
00:22:14.720 if not more
00:22:15.260 New Yorkers
00:22:15.940 who suggested
00:22:17.400 that I do
00:22:18.060 something
00:22:18.620 anatomically
00:22:20.000 impossible.
00:22:22.200 They were
00:22:22.860 fairly energized.
00:22:24.320 They were
00:22:24.940 fairly pissed.
00:22:25.880 And look,
00:22:26.400 my response
00:22:27.120 when they were
00:22:27.600 mad,
00:22:27.980 I'd just smile
00:22:28.740 and point up
00:22:29.400 and say
00:22:29.680 scoreboard.
00:22:30.720 Because,
00:22:31.540 look,
00:22:31.800 I get it.
00:22:32.400 If you're a
00:22:32.900 sports fan
00:22:33.460 and you go
00:22:33.820 into the
00:22:34.140 opposing team
00:22:34.960 stadium and
00:22:36.240 you sweep
00:22:36.700 them,
00:22:37.020 they're pissed.
00:22:38.160 That was
00:22:38.740 fun.
00:22:39.960 I will say,
00:22:41.020 and by the
00:22:41.400 way,
00:22:41.640 the press
00:22:42.060 and the
00:22:42.740 Twitter went
00:22:43.940 crazy with
00:22:44.520 all the people
00:22:45.040 yelling expletives
00:22:46.440 at me.
00:22:46.820 They didn't
00:22:47.440 actually write
00:22:48.100 down the
00:22:48.620 hundreds of
00:22:49.360 New Yorkers
00:22:49.800 who took
00:22:50.040 pictures with
00:22:50.640 me and
00:22:51.000 said,
00:22:51.800 even in
00:22:52.280 Yankee
00:22:52.580 Stadium,
00:22:53.400 thank you
00:22:54.040 for fighting
00:22:54.520 to save
00:22:54.860 our country.
00:22:55.300 Now,
00:22:55.400 they also
00:22:55.800 said,
00:22:56.420 I hate
00:22:57.140 the Astros
00:22:57.580 and want
00:22:57.840 the Yankees
00:22:58.200 to win.
00:22:58.580 Okay,
00:22:58.780 that's great.
00:22:59.280 That's sports.
00:22:59.840 That's the
00:23:00.160 beauty of sports
00:23:00.820 is you root
00:23:01.280 for your
00:23:01.560 teams.
00:23:03.720 The next
00:23:04.500 day,
00:23:05.480 after we
00:23:06.700 swept the
00:23:07.100 Yankees and
00:23:07.520 went to the
00:23:07.860 World Series
00:23:08.280 and went on
00:23:08.680 to win the
00:23:09.040 World Series,
00:23:09.640 not to
00:23:10.220 irritate any
00:23:11.540 of the sore
00:23:12.200 sentiments of
00:23:13.120 other teams
00:23:13.860 that did not
00:23:14.480 win last
00:23:14.940 year,
00:23:15.880 but the
00:23:16.220 next day I
00:23:16.760 went on
00:23:17.040 the View
00:23:17.360 and the
00:23:18.260 View,
00:23:18.700 if anything,
00:23:19.640 the View
00:23:20.000 was more
00:23:20.740 hostile than
00:23:22.660 being in
00:23:23.200 Yankee Stadium
00:23:24.000 in Game
00:23:24.420 4 of the
00:23:24.860 LCS in
00:23:25.780 Astros
00:23:26.220 Orange.
00:23:27.480 The View,
00:23:28.980 these rabid
00:23:30.760 left-wing
00:23:31.340 women,
00:23:31.820 and by
00:23:32.080 the way,
00:23:32.300 they were
00:23:32.480 nasty when
00:23:32.980 the camera
00:23:33.360 was off.
00:23:33.960 It wasn't
00:23:34.340 even just
00:23:34.960 like that's
00:23:35.740 their persona.
00:23:37.500 They look
00:23:38.240 at you,
00:23:38.920 Ben,
00:23:39.140 they look
00:23:39.460 at me,
00:23:39.900 they look
00:23:40.220 at conservatives,
00:23:41.120 they hate
00:23:41.500 us,
00:23:41.960 but one
00:23:42.520 of the
00:23:42.800 things they
00:23:43.320 said is
00:23:43.800 they screamed,
00:23:45.200 you are
00:23:45.660 election
00:23:46.300 deniers,
00:23:47.480 and I
00:23:47.740 pulled out
00:23:48.500 quote after
00:23:49.380 quote that I
00:23:49.940 brought with
00:23:50.500 me of Hillary
00:23:51.540 Clinton saying
00:23:52.180 what you just
00:23:52.960 played,
00:23:53.380 of Joe Biden
00:23:54.040 saying that
00:23:55.100 George W.
00:23:55.840 Bush was an
00:23:56.360 illegitimate
00:23:56.840 president.
00:23:58.580 Over and
00:23:59.340 over again,
00:23:59.860 Democrats saying
00:24:00.740 this,
00:24:01.220 and they
00:24:02.580 didn't know
00:24:02.940 what to say
00:24:03.380 in response.
00:24:04.040 They're just
00:24:04.400 like,
00:24:04.700 no,
00:24:05.280 no,
00:24:05.640 we have
00:24:05.940 alternate
00:24:06.280 facts.
00:24:07.180 We don't
00:24:07.500 believe Democrats
00:24:08.880 have ever
00:24:09.180 said that,
00:24:09.780 and what's
00:24:10.160 funny,
00:24:11.540 a couple of
00:24:12.160 weeks later,
00:24:13.960 Chelsea Clinton,
00:24:14.820 Hillary's daughter,
00:24:15.540 was on the
00:24:16.000 View,
00:24:16.260 and they
00:24:16.480 asked her,
00:24:16.960 they said,
00:24:17.340 Cruz said
00:24:18.040 that your
00:24:18.580 mom denied
00:24:20.020 the election
00:24:21.560 was legitimate.
00:24:23.300 What do you
00:24:23.760 say to that?
00:24:24.500 And Chelsea
00:24:25.280 was perfectly
00:24:26.000 happy to repeat
00:24:26.860 their talking
00:24:27.380 points and say,
00:24:27.880 oh,
00:24:28.060 my mom never
00:24:28.540 said that.
00:24:29.520 Now,
00:24:29.820 mind you,
00:24:31.260 what Hillary
00:24:31.760 said is public
00:24:32.440 record.
00:24:32.860 She said that
00:24:33.480 repeatedly,
00:24:34.060 that he's an
00:24:34.780 illegitimate
00:24:35.420 president.
00:24:36.240 Why?
00:24:37.220 Because Democrats
00:24:38.220 are willing to
00:24:39.200 abuse government
00:24:41.080 and to lie
00:24:42.620 when they don't
00:24:43.380 get the political
00:24:44.020 outcome they
00:24:44.680 want.
00:24:45.780 No doubt.
00:24:46.820 There's also
00:24:47.680 another part of
00:24:48.440 this that's
00:24:48.820 infuriating for,
00:24:49.920 I think,
00:24:50.120 so many Americans
00:24:51.080 listening,
00:24:52.400 Senator,
00:24:52.560 and that's the
00:24:53.000 fact,
00:24:53.360 you just
00:24:53.740 mentioned,
00:24:54.340 obviously,
00:24:55.020 Hillary Clinton
00:24:55.680 there.
00:24:56.020 But you
00:24:56.780 mentioned James
00:24:57.440 Comey.
00:24:58.020 You have
00:24:58.620 Andrew McCabe.
00:24:59.820 You have
00:25:00.120 Peter Strzok.
00:25:01.400 You have
00:25:01.800 Lisa Page.
00:25:03.140 Hell,
00:25:03.360 you've got
00:25:03.640 the FISA
00:25:04.340 judges.
00:25:06.340 You've got
00:25:06.800 Rod Rosenstein.
00:25:08.200 You have
00:25:08.760 Christopher
00:25:09.240 Ray.
00:25:10.280 You have
00:25:11.160 Lisa Monaco.
00:25:12.760 You have
00:25:13.200 John Brennan.
00:25:14.800 You've got
00:25:15.220 James Clapper,
00:25:16.880 Christopher
00:25:17.220 Steele,
00:25:18.520 and John
00:25:19.480 Podesta.
00:25:20.580 All of these
00:25:21.280 people.
00:25:21.580 Are you
00:25:22.360 trying to
00:25:22.760 piss me
00:25:23.140 off?
00:25:23.640 Like,
00:25:23.720 with that
00:25:24.940 array of
00:25:26.060 names,
00:25:27.040 I'm sitting
00:25:27.620 here very
00:25:28.080 calm and
00:25:28.560 peaceful,
00:25:29.140 and you
00:25:29.800 really are
00:25:30.460 pushing my
00:25:31.580 buttons.
00:25:33.240 It's my
00:25:33.840 job,
00:25:34.240 sir.
00:25:34.540 I get
00:25:35.100 paid to
00:25:35.500 do this.
00:25:36.280 But you
00:25:36.580 listen to
00:25:37.180 that list.
00:25:38.420 And by
00:25:38.840 the way,
00:25:39.300 the dollar
00:25:40.020 an hour we
00:25:40.620 pay you,
00:25:41.100 we'll double
00:25:41.500 it right now.
00:25:42.340 Thank you.
00:25:42.840 Good.
00:25:43.100 I like that,
00:25:44.280 because that
00:25:44.520 was a hell
00:25:44.920 of a montage
00:25:45.460 of guilty
00:25:46.000 people I
00:25:46.560 just mentioned.
00:25:47.320 So I
00:25:47.600 deserve a
00:25:48.200 bonus for
00:25:48.740 that.
00:25:49.480 But there
00:25:49.840 are people
00:25:50.320 that are
00:25:50.700 going to
00:25:50.900 listen.
00:25:51.160 They're
00:25:51.380 going to
00:25:51.560 say,
00:25:52.140 look,
00:25:52.620 it's
00:25:53.180 infuriating
00:25:54.020 that this
00:25:54.440 term report
00:25:55.020 is confirming
00:25:55.700 that Russian
00:25:56.220 collusion was
00:25:56.900 a lie.
00:25:57.820 And if you
00:25:58.180 have a
00:25:58.480 brain,
00:25:59.020 we all
00:25:59.580 knew that
00:26:00.040 since day
00:26:00.640 one.
00:26:01.260 But knowing
00:26:02.380 that these
00:26:03.380 people that
00:26:04.080 we just
00:26:04.580 mentioned
00:26:05.200 were guilty
00:26:07.020 of doing
00:26:08.420 this,
00:26:09.060 and they're
00:26:09.780 all going
00:26:10.280 to walk
00:26:10.640 around,
00:26:10.920 is there
00:26:11.240 going to
00:26:11.420 be any
00:26:12.340 accountability
00:26:13.000 for them?
00:26:15.580 Sadly,
00:26:16.400 I'm not
00:26:17.040 convinced there
00:26:17.620 will be.
00:26:18.540 The New York
00:26:19.460 Times and the
00:26:20.060 Washington
00:26:20.420 Post both
00:26:22.040 won Pulitzer
00:26:22.820 prizes for
00:26:24.320 their reporting
00:26:25.080 on this
00:26:25.820 garbage Russian
00:26:27.080 collusion
00:26:27.600 story.
00:26:28.700 We now
00:26:29.380 know from
00:26:30.020 the Durham
00:26:30.560 report that
00:26:31.200 the story
00:26:31.640 was a
00:26:32.060 lie from
00:26:32.480 day one,
00:26:33.680 and yet I
00:26:35.540 feel absolutely
00:26:36.260 certain the
00:26:36.840 New York
00:26:37.140 Times will
00:26:37.740 not return
00:26:38.280 their Pulitzer.
00:26:39.400 The Washington
00:26:40.220 Post will
00:26:40.780 not return
00:26:41.280 their Pulitzer.
00:26:42.580 The reporters
00:26:44.140 who reported
00:26:45.020 on lies,
00:26:45.700 who were
00:26:45.900 complicit with
00:26:46.520 lies,
00:26:46.860 who these
00:26:47.300 FBI and
00:26:47.960 DOJ people
00:26:48.620 were leaking
00:26:49.180 to like
00:26:49.720 sieves to
00:26:50.620 spread the
00:26:51.160 lies.
00:26:52.500 They will
00:26:52.960 continue to
00:26:53.980 go to
00:26:54.280 parties,
00:26:54.760 to go to
00:26:55.100 professional
00:26:55.540 gatherings,
00:26:56.060 where they
00:26:56.520 will be
00:26:56.860 introduced as
00:26:57.840 the Pulitzer
00:26:59.060 prize-winning
00:27:00.120 journalist,
00:27:01.540 and they are
00:27:02.140 literally lying
00:27:03.180 propagandists.
00:27:04.740 If there was a
00:27:05.740 shred of
00:27:06.360 integrity in the
00:27:07.220 New York
00:27:07.500 Times or the
00:27:08.040 Washington Post,
00:27:08.760 they'd return the
00:27:09.420 Pulitzers and
00:27:10.120 say, we're
00:27:10.980 sorry we're
00:27:11.620 participating in a
00:27:12.460 lie.
00:27:13.120 The chances
00:27:13.840 of that
00:27:14.220 happening are
00:27:14.780 zero, because
00:27:15.980 there's not a
00:27:16.620 shred of
00:27:16.940 integrity in
00:27:17.600 them.
00:27:18.420 But I will
00:27:19.700 say also, as
00:27:20.500 I read this
00:27:21.120 report, listen,
00:27:23.080 I'm glad that
00:27:23.820 Durham has
00:27:24.400 cataloged that
00:27:25.400 these were
00:27:25.780 lies, but I'm
00:27:27.540 also angry.
00:27:29.540 Durham was
00:27:30.320 not a
00:27:31.540 blogger.
00:27:32.820 He was not
00:27:33.380 someone who
00:27:33.960 was just
00:27:34.360 entitled to
00:27:35.000 write some
00:27:35.460 thoughts.
00:27:36.520 He was not
00:27:36.960 a podcaster,
00:27:37.760 by the way.
00:27:39.500 Durham was
00:27:40.160 a special
00:27:41.080 counsel,
00:27:41.860 with the
00:27:43.300 power to
00:27:43.980 bring
00:27:44.360 indictments.
00:27:45.780 I read this
00:27:46.760 whole thing and
00:27:47.420 I say, Mr.
00:27:48.720 Durham, who
00:27:49.320 the hell did
00:27:49.900 you indict?
00:27:51.540 If we saw
00:27:53.140 a massive
00:27:54.000 dishonesty, if
00:27:55.080 we saw a
00:27:55.640 massive lie to
00:27:56.620 the American
00:27:57.120 people, if we
00:27:58.220 saw a massive
00:27:59.040 corruption of
00:28:00.280 the Department
00:28:00.820 of Justice and
00:28:01.620 the FBI, bring
00:28:02.980 an indictment.
00:28:04.580 Stand up and
00:28:05.520 hold people to
00:28:06.320 accountable.
00:28:07.260 And there's a
00:28:07.940 paragraph in
00:28:08.700 Durham's report
00:28:09.540 that makes me
00:28:10.040 particularly angry.
00:28:10.840 I just want to
00:28:11.300 read it.
00:28:12.380 This report
00:28:13.480 does not
00:28:14.760 recommend any
00:28:15.520 wholesale changes
00:28:16.580 in the guidelines
00:28:17.380 and policies that
00:28:18.800 the Department
00:28:19.800 and the FBI
00:28:20.540 now have in
00:28:21.260 place to
00:28:22.320 ensure proper
00:28:23.140 conduct and
00:28:23.820 accountability in
00:28:25.300 how counterintelligence
00:28:26.540 activities are
00:28:27.200 carried out.
00:28:28.560 Rather, it is
00:28:29.580 intended to
00:28:30.200 accurately describe
00:28:31.260 the matters that
00:28:31.960 fell under our
00:28:32.720 review and to
00:28:34.020 assist the
00:28:34.620 Attorney General
00:28:35.300 in determining
00:28:35.880 how the
00:28:36.260 Department and
00:28:36.860 the FBI can
00:28:37.680 do a better,
00:28:38.720 more credible
00:28:39.820 job.
00:28:40.380 I've got to
00:28:41.460 admit, reading
00:28:41.940 that is just,
00:28:44.020 it puts me
00:28:44.600 to sleep.
00:28:45.500 But let me
00:28:45.940 continue.
00:28:46.960 Ultimately, of
00:28:47.660 course, meeting
00:28:48.140 these responsibilities
00:28:48.940 comes down to
00:28:49.960 the integrity
00:28:50.680 of the people
00:28:51.860 who take an
00:28:52.440 oath to follow
00:28:53.040 the guidelines.
00:28:53.840 As an aside,
00:28:55.000 their integrity
00:28:55.600 was zero because
00:28:56.420 they didn't follow
00:28:57.000 the guidelines and
00:28:57.840 they corrupted
00:28:58.680 the process.
00:28:59.920 And policies
00:29:00.920 currently in
00:29:01.660 place.
00:29:02.820 Guidelines that
00:29:03.540 date from the
00:29:04.320 time of Attorney
00:29:05.200 General Levi
00:29:06.040 and that are
00:29:06.600 designed to
00:29:07.280 ensure the
00:29:07.880 rule of law
00:29:08.480 is upheld.
00:29:09.840 As such, the
00:29:11.800 answer is not
00:29:13.040 the creation of
00:29:14.060 new rules, but
00:29:15.760 a renewed
00:29:16.440 fidelity to the
00:29:18.380 old.
00:29:19.160 What utter and
00:29:20.420 complete garbage.
00:29:23.080 If we've seen,
00:29:24.460 look, I'm an
00:29:26.300 alumnus of the
00:29:26.940 Department of
00:29:27.440 Justice.
00:29:27.900 I revere the
00:29:28.660 Department of
00:29:29.180 Justice.
00:29:30.100 In my role as
00:29:31.120 senator, I hear
00:29:32.320 routinely from
00:29:34.800 FBI agents, from
00:29:36.020 DOJ prosecutors
00:29:38.000 who are furious.
00:29:39.660 How was our
00:29:41.000 institution of
00:29:42.700 law enforcement
00:29:43.460 that is
00:29:43.920 decidedly
00:29:46.060 apolitical,
00:29:47.240 how was it
00:29:48.180 turned into
00:29:48.860 corrupt and
00:29:49.740 dishonest
00:29:50.400 machinery that
00:29:51.980 became the
00:29:52.720 legal attack
00:29:53.880 dogs of the
00:29:55.140 Hillary Clinton
00:29:55.720 Nopo Research
00:29:56.600 Department?
00:29:58.100 What John
00:29:59.020 Durham did is
00:29:59.900 say this is all
00:30:00.640 terrible, but
00:30:01.940 we're not going
00:30:02.300 to do anything.
00:30:03.380 Nobody's going
00:30:03.840 to be indicted.
00:30:04.500 Nobody's going
00:30:04.940 to be fired.
00:30:05.660 Nobody's going
00:30:06.100 to be held to
00:30:06.520 consequence.
00:30:07.600 Oh, it's a
00:30:08.340 shame we just
00:30:09.840 saw a bloodless
00:30:11.580 coup unfold in
00:30:14.660 our Department of
00:30:15.620 Justice and
00:30:16.200 FBI, but
00:30:17.220 tsk, tsk, let's
00:30:18.820 try not to do
00:30:19.500 that again.
00:30:20.760 Nobody's held
00:30:21.500 accountable.
00:30:22.240 That makes me
00:30:23.380 angry.
00:30:24.600 Mr. Durham,
00:30:25.840 you're not in
00:30:27.080 charge of writing
00:30:27.920 op-eds.
00:30:28.820 You have the
00:30:29.440 power of
00:30:29.940 convening a
00:30:30.460 grand jury.
00:30:31.000 You have the
00:30:31.480 power of
00:30:31.980 bringing
00:30:32.220 indictments,
00:30:33.460 and you
00:30:34.720 failed in
00:30:36.080 that task.
00:30:37.100 What you
00:30:37.540 described was
00:30:39.020 an absolute
00:30:40.020 dereliction of
00:30:41.060 duty, and yet
00:30:42.600 nobody was held
00:30:43.460 to account for
00:30:44.180 it.
00:30:44.860 There's another
00:30:45.580 name that has
00:30:46.500 to be brought
00:30:47.080 up, and that
00:30:47.640 is the name
00:30:48.240 of former
00:30:48.980 President of
00:30:49.500 the United
00:30:49.660 States of
00:30:49.980 America,
00:30:50.520 Barack Obama,
00:30:51.680 and I want
00:30:52.480 to talk about
00:30:53.220 what this
00:30:53.760 report also
00:30:54.620 says about
00:30:55.660 his leadership,
00:30:56.940 but before I
00:30:57.660 get to that,
00:30:58.100 let me tell
00:30:58.460 you about
00:30:58.780 Patriot
00:30:59.180 Mobile.
00:30:59.900 I had the
00:31:00.660 privilege of
00:31:02.000 going and
00:31:02.540 playing in
00:31:03.180 the Folds of
00:31:03.860 the Fallen
00:31:04.480 golf tournament
00:31:05.200 with Patriot
00:31:05.920 Mobile on
00:31:07.280 Monday, and I
00:31:08.220 can tell you
00:31:09.200 that it is
00:31:10.060 really fun to
00:31:11.520 work with a
00:31:12.340 company that
00:31:13.620 takes money
00:31:14.680 every month
00:31:15.540 from your
00:31:16.440 bill, and
00:31:17.500 they give it
00:31:18.000 back to
00:31:18.900 support causes
00:31:20.100 that we stand
00:31:20.840 with.
00:31:22.100 Folds of the
00:31:22.480 Fallen is an
00:31:23.080 incredible
00:31:23.340 organization that
00:31:23.980 gives scholarships
00:31:24.680 to children
00:31:27.020 of men and
00:31:27.980 women who
00:31:28.420 have given
00:31:28.660 the ultimate
00:31:29.020 sacrifice protecting
00:31:30.180 and defending
00:31:30.560 our country,
00:31:31.440 whether it is
00:31:32.240 here or
00:31:33.020 abroad, and
00:31:34.240 that is what
00:31:35.220 Patriot Mobile
00:31:35.980 does.
00:31:36.600 They take a
00:31:37.100 portion of
00:31:37.600 your bill every
00:31:38.240 month, and
00:31:38.680 they give it
00:31:39.080 back to
00:31:40.040 organizations that
00:31:41.060 stand up for
00:31:41.440 our First and
00:31:42.000 our Second
00:31:42.380 Amendment rights,
00:31:43.560 that stand up
00:31:44.180 for our
00:31:44.460 religious freedom,
00:31:45.580 stand up for
00:31:45.940 the sanctity of
00:31:46.400 life, and
00:31:47.320 they also stand
00:31:48.180 with our
00:31:48.480 military heroes,
00:31:49.680 our veterans,
00:31:50.260 our first
00:31:50.620 responders.
00:31:51.780 This is why
00:31:52.720 I want you to
00:31:53.560 switch to
00:31:54.020 Patriot Mobile.
00:31:55.120 Put your
00:31:56.020 money where
00:31:57.080 your values
00:31:57.820 are.
00:31:58.560 For years,
00:31:59.420 Big Mobile has
00:32:00.980 been dumping
00:32:01.600 millions into
00:32:02.480 leftist causes,
00:32:03.440 and we had to
00:32:04.060 take it because
00:32:04.620 we didn't have
00:32:04.960 another option.
00:32:05.720 Well, now
00:32:06.060 another option
00:32:06.720 exists.
00:32:07.260 Patriot Mobile
00:32:07.820 is America's
00:32:08.500 only Christian
00:32:09.540 conservative
00:32:10.220 wireless provider
00:32:11.640 offering you
00:32:12.360 dependable
00:32:13.180 nationwide coverage

00:32:15.960 major networks,

00:32:17.480 best service in
00:32:18.340 your area without
00:32:19.380 the woke
00:32:20.080 propaganda
00:32:21.020 pushed by
00:32:21.820 leftists working
00:32:22.620 hard to destroy
00:32:23.240 this country.
00:32:24.020 How do you

00:32:43.060 Senator,
00:32:43.460 let's talk about
00:32:44.380 one player here
00:32:46.040 that really has
00:32:47.060 kind of,
00:32:47.700 I think,
00:32:48.440 he's really
00:32:51.200 gone away
00:32:52.180 kind of
00:32:52.620 unscathed
00:32:53.400 from all
00:32:53.840 of this
00:32:54.300 and that's
00:32:55.520 a guy
00:32:55.820 who knew
00:32:56.240 all about
00:32:57.100 what was
00:32:57.460 happening here.
00:32:58.480 Former
00:32:58.880 President
00:32:59.320 Barack Obama.
00:33:00.940 How guilty
00:33:01.860 is he
00:33:02.420 of allowing
00:33:03.200 all this
00:33:03.620 to start
00:33:03.960 because he's
00:33:04.560 the one
00:33:04.880 that knew
00:33:05.220 they were
00:33:05.540 spying
00:33:06.020 on the
00:33:06.960 Trump campaign.
00:33:07.940 He was
00:33:08.320 the one
00:33:08.640 that was
00:33:08.960 briefed
00:33:09.580 on all
00:33:10.000 of this.
00:33:10.760 He was
00:33:11.260 the one
00:33:11.600 that allowed
00:33:12.120 them to
00:33:12.540 keep moving
00:33:13.180 forward
00:33:13.680 when
00:33:14.340 Donald
00:33:14.700 Trump
00:33:14.980 was
00:33:15.200 running
00:33:15.480 against
00:33:15.860 Hillary
00:33:16.200 Clinton.
00:33:17.240 So
00:33:17.860 Barack
00:33:18.300 Obama
00:33:18.740 sadly
00:33:19.280 was
00:33:19.600 utterly
00:33:20.060 complicit
00:33:21.540 in this
00:33:22.640 entire
00:33:23.080 scheme
00:33:23.620 to abuse
00:33:24.340 the
00:33:24.520 Department
00:33:24.860 of
00:33:25.080 Justice
00:33:25.400 to
00:33:25.680 abuse
00:33:26.280 the
00:33:26.860 FBI
00:33:27.280 to
00:33:27.620 target
00:33:28.180 his
00:33:29.440 political
00:33:29.880 opponent
00:33:30.320 to
00:33:30.540 target
00:33:30.840 the
00:33:31.040 Republican
00:33:31.460 nominee
00:33:31.880 who
00:33:32.220 was
00:33:32.400 running
00:33:32.820 against
00:33:33.620 Hillary
00:33:33.920 Clinton
00:33:34.220 to
00:33:34.560 succeed
00:33:35.140 him.
00:33:36.260 Let me
00:33:36.840 tell you
00:33:37.120 what the
00:33:37.560 Durham
00:33:37.860 report
00:33:38.200 concluded.
00:33:38.860 The
00:33:38.940 Durham
00:33:39.200 report
00:33:39.520 concluded
00:33:39.920 that the
00:33:40.260 FBI
00:33:40.600 was
00:33:40.940 tipped
00:33:41.200 off
00:33:41.580 about
00:33:42.400 the
00:33:42.580 Hillary
00:33:42.860 Clinton's
00:33:43.380 plan
00:33:43.620 to
00:33:43.800 vilify
00:33:44.600 Donald
00:33:44.980 Trump
00:33:45.320 by
00:33:46.140 tying
00:33:46.600 him
00:33:46.820 to
00:33:46.980 Russian
00:33:47.260 President
00:33:47.800 Vladimir
00:33:48.220 Putin.
00:33:49.240 But
00:33:49.880 it
00:33:50.020 didn't
00:33:50.280 investigate
00:33:50.780 that
00:33:51.080 tip.
00:33:52.180 According
00:33:52.860 to the
00:33:53.200 report,
00:33:53.720 the
00:33:53.800 FBI
00:33:54.180 received
00:33:54.780 highly
00:33:56.240 significant
00:33:57.000 intelligence
00:33:57.640 from a

00:34:13.860 continued
00:34:14.360 quote
00:34:14.760 unlike

00:34:16.900 of a

00:34:17.800 of
00:34:18.180 unknown
00:34:18.560 members
00:34:18.900 of the
00:34:19.100 Trump
00:34:19.300 campaign
00:34:19.720 based on
00:34:20.240 raw
00:34:20.620 uncorroborated
00:34:21.480 investigation
00:34:22.240 in this
00:34:23.360 separate
00:34:23.700 matter
00:34:24.000 involving
00:34:25.120 a purported
00:34:25.900 Clinton
00:34:26.180 campaign
00:34:26.660 plan.
00:34:27.800 The
00:34:28.000 FBI
00:34:28.380 never
00:34:28.820 opened
00:34:29.320 any
00:34:30.180 type
00:34:30.480 of
00:34:30.620 inquiry,
00:34:32.220 issued
00:34:32.540 any
00:34:32.820 taskings,
00:34:33.980 employed
00:34:34.360 any
00:34:34.700 analytical
00:34:35.120 personnel,
00:34:35.660 or produced

00:34:38.440 connection
00:34:38.800 with the
00:34:39.140 information.
00:34:39.680 The
00:34:41.000 report
00:34:41.500 said
00:34:42.100 that the
00:34:43.100 lack
00:34:43.360 of
00:34:43.520 action
00:34:43.800 by
00:34:43.980 the
00:34:44.140 FBI
00:34:44.520 was
00:34:44.840 despite
00:34:45.240 the
00:34:45.440 fact
00:34:45.740 that
00:34:46.600 the
00:34:46.800 Clinton
00:34:47.060 plan
00:34:47.560 was
00:34:47.840 so
00:34:48.240 significant
00:34:48.920 that
00:34:50.220 CIA
00:34:50.840 Director
00:34:51.420 John
00:34:51.900 Brennan
00:34:52.340 briefed
00:34:54.220 President
00:34:54.860 Barack

00:35:00.040 General

00:35:03.260 Director
00:35:03.840 James
00:35:04.240 Comey,
00:35:04.700 and
00:35:05.660 other
00:35:06.000 senior
00:35:06.400 government
00:35:06.840 officials
00:35:07.380 days
00:35:08.380 after
00:35:08.880 the
00:35:09.100 tip
00:35:09.340 was
00:35:09.560 received.
00:35:11.240 And
00:35:11.880 the
00:35:12.120 report
00:35:12.420 continues,
00:35:13.040 quote,
00:35:14.240 the
00:35:14.420 speed
00:35:14.760 manner
00:35:15.180 in
00:35:15.420 which
00:35:15.620 the
00:35:15.800 FBI
00:35:16.160 opened
00:35:16.580 and
00:35:16.740 investigated
00:35:17.260 crossfire
00:35:17.880 hurricane
00:35:18.240 during
00:35:18.560 the
00:35:18.740 presidential
00:35:19.160 election
00:35:19.600 season
00:35:20.060 based
00:35:20.840 on
00:35:21.080 raw,
00:35:22.180 unanalyzed
00:35:22.860 and uncorroborated
00:35:23.700 intelligence
00:35:24.400 also
00:35:25.560 reflected
00:35:26.460 a
00:35:26.720 noticeable
00:35:27.560 departure
00:35:28.340 from
00:35:29.520 how it
00:35:29.900 handled
00:35:30.160 matters
00:35:30.540 involving
00:35:30.940 Hillary
00:35:31.240 Clinton.
00:35:32.660 This
00:35:32.860 was
00:35:33.440 corruption
00:35:34.380 that
00:35:35.500 went
00:35:35.740 to
00:35:35.900 the
00:35:36.040 very
00:35:36.260 top
00:35:36.720 and
00:35:37.820 yet
00:35:38.060 John
00:35:38.460 Durham
00:35:38.860 held
00:35:40.300 nobody
00:35:40.680 accountable.
00:35:43.060 No one.
00:35:44.260 And that's
00:35:44.700 the part
00:35:45.100 here
00:35:45.440 that I
00:35:46.120 think
00:35:46.340 people
00:35:46.620 say
00:35:46.940 is
00:35:47.180 did
00:35:47.460 he
00:35:47.680 not
00:35:48.000 have
00:35:48.320 the
00:35:48.480 power
00:35:48.880 and
00:35:49.160 there's
00:35:49.440 been
00:35:49.640 debate
00:35:49.980 on
00:35:50.180 this
00:35:50.400 there's
00:35:50.640 some
00:35:50.820 saying
00:35:51.240 he
00:35:51.980 really
00:35:52.200 didn't
00:35:52.460 have
00:35:52.640 the
00:35:52.800 power
00:35:53.060 to
00:35:53.280 do
00:35:53.460 anything
00:35:53.840 there's
00:35:54.600 others
00:35:54.800 saying
00:35:55.160 that's
00:35:55.500 BS
00:35:56.000 yes
00:35:56.720 he
00:35:56.940 had
00:35:57.160 the
00:35:57.320 power
00:35:57.580 to
00:35:57.780 do
00:35:57.960 something
00:35:58.440 Senator
00:35:59.260 give
00:35:59.940 me
00:36:00.100 your
00:36:00.460 reaction
00:36:01.660 to
00:36:01.980 that
00:36:02.240 idea
00:36:02.620 did
00:36:03.180 what
00:36:03.640 were his
00:36:04.180 hands
00:36:04.600 tied
00:36:05.120 in your
00:36:06.080 opinion
00:36:06.540 is there
00:36:07.420 two sides
00:36:08.180 to the
00:36:08.480 story
00:36:08.680 that maybe
00:36:09.060 hey
00:36:09.300 all they
00:36:09.760 would allow
00:36:10.160 him to
00:36:10.400 do
00:36:10.560 is write
00:36:11.040 what is
00:36:11.520 in essence
00:36:12.140 a
00:36:12.720 fact
00:36:14.100 finding
00:36:14.480 op-ed
00:36:14.980 of okay
00:36:15.420 here's
00:36:15.720 what I
00:36:15.940 found
00:36:16.280 and this
00:36:16.640 is what
00:36:16.900 we've
00:36:17.100 got
00:36:17.380 but no
00:36:17.840 one's
00:36:18.100 going to
00:36:18.260 get in
00:36:18.480 trouble
00:36:18.660 for
00:36:18.920 anything
00:36:19.320 what
00:36:20.000 what
00:36:20.020 utter
00:36:20.320 nonsense
00:36:20.960 he
00:36:21.600 was
00:36:21.780 a
00:36:21.920 special
00:36:22.220 prosecutor
00:36:22.900 he
00:36:23.140 could
00:36:23.380 indict
00:36:23.780 anybody
00:36:24.520 he
00:36:25.020 could
00:36:25.200 indict
00:36:25.460 you
00:36:25.720 Ben
00:36:25.980 Ferguson
00:36:26.420 tonight
00:36:27.700 now
00:36:28.780 presumably
00:36:29.600 there's
00:36:30.100 no evidence
00:36:30.840 or at least
00:36:31.280 not much
00:36:31.920 that you've
00:36:32.820 committed a
00:36:33.260 felony
00:36:33.560 recently
00:36:34.480 sure I
00:36:35.060 have
00:36:35.200 I'm a
00:36:35.480 conservative
00:36:35.940 that speaks
00:36:36.460 out
00:36:36.700 isn't that
00:36:36.960 enough
00:36:37.180 now I
00:36:37.580 thought
00:36:37.780 that's
00:36:38.060 the
00:36:38.180 bar
00:36:38.460 you know
00:36:39.300 it may
00:36:39.580 well
00:36:39.840 be
00:36:40.040 but
00:36:40.660 look
00:36:41.180 he was
00:36:41.660 a
00:36:41.820 special
00:36:42.120 prosecutor
00:36:42.760 had the
00:36:43.200 ability
00:36:43.580 to convene
00:36:44.160 a grand
00:36:44.520 jury
00:36:44.740 and bring
00:36:45.120 charges
00:36:45.540 against
00:36:45.900 anyone
00:36:46.360 who
00:36:46.580 committed
00:36:46.880 illegal
00:36:47.260 conduct
00:36:49.320 there
00:36:51.180 are
00:36:51.380 some
00:36:51.700 that
00:36:51.920 are
00:36:52.240 debating
00:36:52.660 well
00:36:53.240 it
00:36:54.120 wasn't
00:36:54.580 his
00:36:54.820 job
00:36:55.400 to
00:36:55.640 recommend
00:36:56.140 reforms
00:36:56.940 to the
00:36:57.540 Department
00:36:57.900 of Justice
00:36:58.420 procedures
00:36:59.080 or the
00:36:59.700 FBI
00:37:00.060 procedures
00:37:00.700 and on
00:37:02.280 some
00:37:02.640 level
00:37:02.940 that's
00:37:03.340 true
00:37:03.600 and on
00:37:03.940 some
00:37:04.200 level
00:37:04.500 who
00:37:04.700 cares
00:37:05.100 if
00:37:06.140 he
00:37:06.320 wanted
00:37:06.680 to
00:37:06.920 recommend
00:37:07.280 reforms
00:37:07.860 he
00:37:08.040 could
00:37:08.240 have
00:37:08.360 he
00:37:08.480 could
00:37:08.640 have
00:37:08.740 written
00:37:08.920 that
00:37:09.100 in
00:37:09.180 the
00:37:09.240 report
00:37:09.580 and said
00:37:09.940 you
00:37:10.080 know
00:37:10.220 what
00:37:10.500 the
00:37:11.240 current
00:37:11.520 rules
00:37:11.860 don't
00:37:12.140 work
00:37:12.400 change
00:37:12.760 them
00:37:12.940 that
00:37:13.120 would
00:37:13.260 have
00:37:13.320 been
00:37:13.440 something
00:37:13.880 but
00:37:15.120 instead
00:37:15.480 he
00:37:15.720 went
00:37:15.920 out
00:37:16.060 of
00:37:16.140 his
00:37:19.320 it's
00:37:19.480 just
00:37:19.720 here
00:37:20.000 the
00:37:20.160 bastards
00:37:20.540 didn't
00:37:20.900 follow
00:37:21.200 them
00:37:21.480 and
00:37:21.640 by
00:37:21.880 the
00:37:22.020 way
00:37:22.300 I'm
00:37:23.680 not
00:37:23.880 going
00:37:23.980 to
00:37:24.080 prosecute
00:37:24.660 or
00:37:24.800 indict
00:37:25.080 any
00:37:25.340 of
00:37:25.480 them
00:37:25.760 for
00:37:26.520 not
00:37:26.760 following
00:37:27.160 them
00:37:27.420 we
00:37:27.600 just
00:37:27.900 are
00:37:28.060 going
00:37:28.160 to
00:37:28.280 say
00:37:28.620 in
00:37:29.500 the
00:37:29.720 future
00:37:30.140 it
00:37:30.500 would
00:37:30.700 be
00:37:30.900 nice
00:37:31.440 if
00:37:31.880 people
00:37:32.180 followed
00:37:32.580 the
00:37:32.780 rules
00:37:33.080 now
00:37:33.340 that's
00:37:33.740 true
00:37:34.220 but
00:37:35.520 the
00:37:35.760 job
00:37:36.280 of
00:37:36.440 a
00:37:36.600 special
00:37:36.960 prosecutor
00:37:37.740 is
00:37:37.960 to
00:37:38.100 hold
00:37:38.300 people
00:37:38.600 to
00:37:38.760 account
00:37:39.180 and
00:37:39.840 I'm
00:37:40.400 sitting
00:37:40.800 here
00:37:41.160 saying
00:37:41.760 we
00:37:43.920 saw
00:37:44.500 an
00:37:44.780 attempt
00:37:45.420 to
00:37:47.080 mount
00:37:47.660 a
00:37:49.320 legal
00:37:50.280 overthrow
00:37:51.060 of
00:37:51.480 our
00:37:51.660 government
00:37:52.140 a

00:44:45.420 to get
00:44:45.660 on tv
00:44:46.020 and scream
00:44:46.400 about it
00:44:46.700 here's
00:44:46.900 what chuck
00:44:47.300 schumer
00:44:47.580 said
00:44:47.860 in
00:44:47.980 2018
00:44:48.420 quote
00:44:48.900 a single
00:44:50.880 ominous
00:44:51.580 question
00:44:52.080 now hangs
00:44:52.840 over the
00:44:53.240 white house
00:44:53.760 what could
00:44:55.220 possibly cause
00:44:56.340 president trump
00:44:57.180 to put the
00:44:57.680 interests of
00:44:58.240 russia
00:44:58.620 over those
00:44:59.740 of the
00:45:00.020 united
00:45:00.320 states
00:45:00.900 quote
00:45:02.180 millions
00:45:03.200 of americans
00:45:04.140 will continue
00:45:04.860 to wonder
00:45:05.380 if the
00:45:05.860 only possible
00:45:06.960 explanation
00:45:07.680 for this
00:45:08.540 dangerous
00:45:09.140 behavior
00:45:09.620 is the
00:45:10.820 possibility
00:45:11.380 that president
00:45:12.160 putin
00:45:12.720 holds damaging
00:45:13.980 information
00:45:14.700 over president
00:45:15.580 trump
00:45:16.280 look i gotta
00:45:18.040 admit this
00:45:18.640 pisses me
00:45:19.380 off
00:45:19.760 democrats
00:45:21.100 were lying
00:45:21.720 the doj
00:45:23.380 launched an
00:45:24.560 investigation
00:45:25.080 with no
00:45:25.780 evidence
00:45:26.280 based on
00:45:27.300 partisan
00:45:27.840 hatred
00:45:28.380 and the
00:45:29.760 corporate
00:45:30.220 media
00:45:30.760 amplified
00:45:31.580 those lies
00:45:32.660 shamelessly
00:45:34.260 it is an
00:45:36.200 utter and
00:45:36.740 complete failure
00:45:37.560 of our
00:45:37.940 system and
00:45:38.660 nobody's been
00:45:39.540 been held to
00:45:40.120 account nobody's
00:45:41.280 prosecuted nobody's
00:45:42.400 fired nobody's
00:45:43.240 lost their job
00:45:44.180 and they
00:45:44.820 continue to
00:45:45.900 do the
00:45:46.500 same going
00:45:47.540 forward
00:45:48.020 this is i
00:45:49.640 have a feeling
00:45:50.220 why it's going
00:45:50.720 to end up
00:45:51.140 being a big
00:45:52.000 election year
00:45:52.840 issue not just
00:45:53.660 on the
00:45:53.880 presidential
00:45:54.200 level but
00:45:55.320 also in
00:45:56.840 senate and
00:45:57.380 house races
00:45:58.100 and it
00:45:58.560 should be
00:45:59.080 because this
00:45:59.700 is going to
00:46:00.160 be about
00:46:00.680 accountability
00:46:01.320 for the
00:46:01.840 people that
00:46:02.360 did this
