00:00:00.000 This is an iHeart Podcast.
00:00:02.600 Guaranteed human.
00:00:04.400 It is news that many did not see coming.
00:00:07.120 A special prosecutor, not for Donald Trump,
00:00:09.700 but for the President of the United States of America.
00:00:12.800 It's Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz.
00:00:15.000 Senator, nice to be with you in studio today.
00:00:16.980 You and I were just sitting outside watching this big announcement.
00:00:20.320 And before I play Garland and what he had to say,
00:00:23.660 on a scale of 1 to 10, how surprised are you that he came out
00:00:27.240 and said, there's a special prosecutor for a sitting president?
00:00:31.120 Yeah, I'm not surprised at all.
00:00:33.200 Garland had to do this.
00:00:34.420 He was backed into the corner.
00:00:36.460 The instant they found yet more documents,
00:00:39.420 first at the Penn Center, then in the garage,
00:00:42.560 you know, by the Corvette.
00:00:43.860 I don't know if they're like under the spare tire
00:00:45.440 or where exactly they were.
00:00:47.120 And then we discovered,
00:00:49.700 oops, we found a third bunch of documents
00:00:51.780 at the residence somewhere.
00:00:52.960 I don't know if it's, you know, in the cloak closet,
00:00:55.420 stuffed into his shoes.
00:00:56.480 It's not clear.
00:00:59.340 Garland is miserable doing this,
00:01:01.840 but he had no choice.
00:01:03.780 It was like watching a hostage video.
00:01:05.380 I mean, his face was, oh my gosh.
00:01:07.380 Yes.
00:01:07.700 I can't believe what I'm even having to read on national TV.
00:01:10.520 This announcement is a big damn deal.
00:01:15.140 This makes the Biden DOJ's efforts
00:01:17.860 to go after Donald J. Trump
00:01:19.660 a billion times harder
00:01:22.300 and a billion times more complicated.
00:01:24.480 They are going, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap.
00:01:28.980 Well, let's watch Merrick Garland and you can see the expression.
00:01:31.220 I want to play that.
00:01:31.900 And before we get to that,
00:01:32.620 I want to say thank you to Patriot Mobile, our sponsor.
00:01:35.860 If you've not checked out Patriot Mobile,
00:01:38.280 check them out.
00:01:39.600 Patriot Mobile is the only conservative Christian cell phone company
00:01:42.840 in the U.S.
00:01:44.180 And every time you pay your bill,
00:01:45.760 you're actually supporting the causes that you believe in.
00:01:49.440 If you haven't looked at what they offer,
00:01:52.000 it's an amazing company
00:01:53.180 where you get to keep your same cell phone number.
00:01:55.420 Many times you keep your same cell phone
00:01:57.040 and they have the same towers that you're currently using.
00:02:00.380 So the same coverage that you're using right now.

00:02:21.900 Senator, as you mentioned a moment ago,
00:02:23.240 take a listen for everybody out there.
00:02:25.340 This is, I call it the Garland hostage video
00:02:28.280 when announcing a special prosecutor
00:02:31.360 to look into the sitting president of the United States of America.
00:02:34.540 Earlier today, I signed an order
00:02:37.520 appointing Robert Herr a special counsel
00:02:39.700 for the matter I've just described.
00:02:41.600 The document authorizes him to investigate
00:02:44.480 whether any person or entity
00:02:45.980 violated the law in connection with this matter.
00:02:49.200 The special counsel will not be subject
00:02:50.880 to the day-to-day supervision
00:02:52.220 of any official of the department,
00:02:54.280 but he must comply with the regulations,
00:02:56.780 procedures, and policies of the department.
00:03:00.380 Mr. Herr has a long and distinguished career
00:03:02.860 as a prosecutor.
00:03:04.600 In 2003, he joined the department's criminal division
00:03:07.360 where he worked on counterterrorism,
00:03:10.000 corporate fraud, and appellate matters.
00:03:12.240 From 2007 until 2014,
00:03:15.300 Mr. Herr served as an assistant U.S. attorney
00:03:17.380 for the District of Maryland,
00:03:18.900 where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime
00:03:21.780 to financial fraud.
00:03:23.740 In 2017, Mr. Herr rejoined the department
00:03:26.740 as the principal associate deputy attorney general.
00:03:29.660 In 2018, he was nominated and confirmed
00:03:33.520 to serve as a U.S. attorney
00:03:35.360 for the District of Maryland.
00:03:37.680 As U.S. attorney,
00:03:38.980 he supervised some of the department's
00:03:40.740 more important national security,
00:03:43.000 public corruption,
00:03:43.940 and other high-profile matters.
00:03:46.220 I will ensure that Mr. Herr receives
00:03:48.960 all the resources he needs
00:03:50.740 to conduct his work.
00:03:52.180 As I have said before,
00:03:55.760 I strongly believe that the normal processes
00:03:58.180 of this department
00:03:59.280 can handle all investigations with integrity.
00:04:03.200 But under the regulations,
00:04:04.960 the extraordinary circumstances here
00:04:06.960 require the appointment of a special counsel
00:04:09.040 for this matter.
00:04:10.620 This appointment underscores for the public
00:04:13.720 the department's commitment
00:04:14.920 to both independence and accountability
00:04:17.460 in particularly sensitive matters
00:04:19.920 and to making decisions indisputably guided
00:04:23.360 only by the facts and the law.
00:04:27.200 I am confident that Mr. Herr
00:04:29.480 will carry out his responsibility
00:04:31.660 in an even-handed and urgent manner
00:04:33.980 and in accordance with the highest traditions
00:04:37.000 of this department.
00:04:38.660 Thank you all.
00:04:39.920 Have you ever spoken to the president
00:04:41.100 about this investigation, sir?
00:04:43.220 No questions.
00:04:44.740 He walked out of there as fast as he could.
00:04:47.080 You see him say it this way.
00:04:48.960 You can tell he's like,
00:04:50.320 I've lost control.
00:04:51.720 I can't protect Joe Biden now.
00:04:53.840 And if you look at a special prosecutor,
00:04:56.140 they're going to dig
00:04:57.200 and people are going to ask you this question.
00:04:58.880 So I'm going to ask it.
00:05:00.040 Who is this special prosecutor?
00:05:01.840 What do we know about him?
00:05:02.980 Is he part of the swamp?
00:05:04.040 Or is he a guy that may actually
00:05:05.460 do the job the right way?
00:05:07.060 So let me say a couple of things.
00:05:08.540 For the folks who are watching this on YouTube,
00:05:10.920 and this is one of our video episodes,
00:05:12.460 you were able to watch that.
00:05:13.740 You were able to actually see Merrick Garland,
00:05:16.700 and see the absolute pain and agony.
00:05:19.080 For the folks who are listening to this in audio,
00:05:22.000 I can just convey to you that I'm pretty sure
00:05:24.440 the whole time Merrick Garland
00:05:25.820 was actually blinking SOS.
00:05:28.280 Yeah.
00:05:29.720 And just take my word for it,
00:05:31.900 that visual cue is there.
00:05:33.860 You know, it's striking.
00:05:34.840 At the end of that clip,
00:05:36.680 he's asked a question.
00:05:38.060 One question from a reporter.
00:05:39.360 Have you talked to Joe Biden about this?
00:05:42.780 And Merrick Garland turns, walks away.
00:05:47.640 We don't answer no stinking questions
00:05:49.860 at the Department of Justice.
00:05:51.400 No interest in accountability.
00:05:53.400 No interest in...
00:05:54.660 That's a pretty important question.
00:05:56.380 What conversation have you had with Joe Biden about this?
00:05:59.280 Unwilling to answer it.
00:06:01.140 Who is Robert Herr?
00:06:03.780 I don't know.
00:06:05.640 I suspect we're going to hear a lot of discussion about that
00:06:08.540 in the next several days coming forward,
00:06:11.020 the next several weeks coming forward.
00:06:12.640 I've met him.
00:06:13.520 I don't know him well.
00:06:15.380 He was a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist,
00:06:18.560 as was I.
00:06:19.260 He clerked, I think, six years after I did.
00:06:21.700 So we didn't overlap.
00:06:23.000 But the world of clerks is a pretty small,
00:06:25.220 little incestuous world.
00:06:27.100 Before that, he clerked for Alex Kaczynski,
00:06:29.220 who was a judge on the Ninth Circuit,
00:06:31.620 was at the time one of the top conservative
00:06:34.420 appellate judges in the country.
00:06:38.320 Those are good signs.
00:06:40.540 Most people who clerked for Kaczynski and Rehnquist...
00:06:43.860 Not liberal.
00:06:45.040 ...are right of center.
00:06:46.000 Not 100%.
00:06:46.820 Yeah.
00:06:47.660 Rehnquist...
00:06:48.540 There are Rehnquist clerks who are left of center,
00:06:51.840 but most people, if you're Kaczynski, Rehnquist,
00:06:54.320 are right of center.
00:06:58.520 He's been a prosecutor much of his career,
00:07:00.800 a prosecutor or a lawyer in private practice.
00:07:02.920 I will say one huge red flag at the outset
00:07:06.820 is Robert Herr was Rod Rosenstein's right hand.
00:07:13.860 And for people that forget Rod Rosenstein
00:07:16.280 and how much of a figure he has been over the last several years,
00:07:19.780 explain that.
00:07:20.400 So let's walk through.
00:07:21.320 Who was Rod Rosenstein?
00:07:22.380 Rod Rosenstein was the deputy attorney general
00:07:24.780 under Donald Trump when Jeff Sessions became attorney general.
00:07:27.920 That appointment, and Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein,
00:07:31.980 that appointment was a tragic mistake
00:07:34.920 that visited enormous grief on the Trump White House
00:07:39.660 and the Trump presidency.
00:07:41.340 Rod Rosenstein had been the U.S. attorney
00:07:43.580 under Barack Obama for the state of Maryland.
00:07:46.660 He was the top prosecutor
00:07:48.400 for the Department of Justice in Maryland
00:07:51.600 in the Obama DOJ.
00:07:53.800 Look, Rod is not a left winger.
00:07:57.540 Right.
00:07:59.240 But he's a company man.
00:08:00.680 He's a DOJ company man.
00:08:03.880 And if you look at how
00:08:05.700 the Department of Justice operates,
00:08:07.640 all right, so number one,
00:08:08.700 like most places in Washington,
00:08:10.500 there's an alphabet soup.
00:08:11.660 So the AG is at the top.
00:08:15.420 The number two official
00:08:16.760 in the Department of Justice
00:08:18.160 is the deputy AG.
00:08:19.480 And in the acronym world,
00:08:20.540 that's called the DAG.
00:08:22.480 The DAG is essentially,
00:08:24.480 and everyone calls him the DAG.
00:08:26.020 The DAG is essentially
00:08:27.780 the chief operating officer
00:08:29.540 of the agency.
00:08:30.940 So the DAG runs DOJ.
00:08:32.880 Day-to-day runs it.
00:08:35.340 And the way the DAG does that
00:08:37.460 is the DAG has a series
00:08:39.260 of lawyers reporting to him.
00:08:41.660 Who are what are called ADAGs,
00:08:44.260 which are associate deputy
00:08:47.160 attorneys general.
00:08:49.180 I was an ADAG
00:08:50.660 in the George W. Bush
00:08:52.760 Department of Justice.
00:08:53.760 I was an associate
00:08:54.680 deputy attorney general.
00:08:56.240 And each of the ADAGs
00:08:57.420 is responsible for helping the DAG
00:09:00.200 run the Department of Justice.
00:09:03.600 Now, you have multiple ADAGs.
00:09:06.740 And then you have one,
00:09:07.780 this is where Washington
00:09:08.540 really does get ridiculous.
00:09:09.660 One, who is the principal associate
00:09:14.160 deputy attorney general,
00:09:17.040 who's known as the pay DAG.
00:09:19.460 You can't make this up,
00:09:20.760 by the way.
00:09:21.360 I'm not, I'm really, I'm not.
00:09:22.980 That's the amazing thing.
00:09:23.700 Only in Washington
00:09:24.740 could this actually make sense
00:09:25.920 to people.
00:09:26.480 So, when Rod Rosenstein
00:09:28.600 was the DAG,
00:09:29.900 he appointed as his pay DAG,
00:09:32.160 in other words,
00:09:32.800 as his principal guy,
00:09:35.560 his right hand,
00:09:36.760 Robert Herr.
00:09:38.940 Now, Rod Rosenstein
00:09:41.260 is the one you'll remember.
00:09:42.880 Jeff Sessions early on
00:09:44.340 recused himself
00:09:45.440 from the Russia investigation.
00:09:47.140 So, Rod Rosenstein
00:09:48.240 was responsible
00:09:49.040 for that absolute
00:09:50.800 cluster.
00:09:53.540 Yeah, of an investigation.
00:09:54.660 It was,
00:09:55.820 look, as listeners
00:09:56.460 of this pod know,
00:09:57.640 my last book,
00:09:59.140 Justice Corrupted,
00:10:00.080 by the way,
00:10:00.420 if you haven't bought
00:10:00.980 Justice Corrupted,
00:10:01.940 go buy Justice Corrupted.
00:10:03.040 There's an entire chapter
00:10:04.200 that will walk you through
00:10:05.620 what Rod Rosenstein did
00:10:07.200 with the Russia investigation,
00:10:09.340 with the corruption,
00:10:10.220 with the disaster.
00:10:11.400 Rod Rosenstein
00:10:12.160 is the one
00:10:12.740 who appointed
00:10:13.360 Robert Mueller.
00:10:14.660 You want to talk about
00:10:15.440 appointing special counsels,
00:10:16.760 Rod Rosenstein
00:10:17.420 is the one
00:10:17.860 who appointed Robert Mueller,
00:10:19.300 started the whole
00:10:20.500 Russia fiasco
00:10:21.940 to begin with,
00:10:23.740 and Robert Herr
00:10:24.620 was Rosenstein's
00:10:25.880 right hand.
00:10:26.420 Now,
00:10:26.960 about a year into it,
00:10:29.520 Herr got appointed
00:10:30.960 U.S. Attorney
00:10:32.000 for Maryland.
00:10:32.540 the job
00:10:34.360 Rosenstein had left,
00:10:35.480 and so he succeeded him
00:10:36.580 and took over
00:10:37.180 as U.S. Attorney.
00:10:38.500 What I don't know,
00:10:40.060 and this will come out
00:10:41.680 in the next few days,
00:10:43.040 is how involved
00:10:44.220 Herr was
00:10:45.180 in the whole
00:10:46.920 Russia disaster,
00:10:48.300 in the
00:10:48.980 Steele dossier,
00:10:51.300 in the
00:10:52.740 wiretaps
00:10:54.060 in surveilling
00:10:54.820 President Trump.
00:10:55.880 I don't know
00:10:56.800 his involvement
00:10:57.540 or not.
00:10:58.180 But we're going to
00:10:58.700 find that out.
00:10:59.080 We're going to find out,
00:11:00.020 and it's going to matter
00:11:00.720 a lot.
00:11:01.260 The fact that he was
00:11:02.100 Rosenstein's right hand
00:11:03.240 is not an encouraging sign.
00:11:06.040 Canadian women
00:11:06.860 are looking for more,
00:11:08.180 more out of themselves,
00:11:09.240 their businesses,
00:11:10.180 their elected leaders,
00:11:11.140 and the world around them.
00:11:12.320 And that's why
00:11:12.820 we're thrilled to introduce
00:11:13.980 the Honest Talk podcast.
00:11:16.020 I'm Jennifer Stewart.

00:11:19.640 we interview
00:11:20.120 Canada's most inspiring women,

00:11:23.620 athletes,
00:11:24.240 politicians,
00:11:24.900 and newsmakers,
00:11:25.820 all at different stages
00:11:26.860 of their journey.
00:11:27.700 So,
00:11:28.360 if you're looking to connect,
00:11:29.840 then we hope you'll join us.
00:11:31.000 Listen to the Honest Talk podcast
00:11:32.460 on iHeartRadio
00:11:33.620 or wherever you listen
00:11:34.580 to your podcasts.
00:11:36.980 Let's talk about the documents.
00:11:38.520 There's two timelines
00:11:39.360 that I think are extremely important.
00:11:41.200 One,
00:11:41.880 the timeline of how many years
00:11:43.400 these documents
00:11:44.240 were not in a secure location.
00:11:46.840 If you look at the timeline
00:11:48.200 of when the Penn Center
00:11:49.620 was even created,
00:11:51.360 there are gaps of years
00:11:53.520 where these documents
00:11:54.500 had to be in other places.
00:11:56.160 I've talked to people
00:11:57.240 that have said
00:11:57.740 they think these documents
00:11:59.000 could have been separated,
00:12:00.440 some going to his house,
00:12:01.600 to his garage,
00:12:02.440 some going to the Penn Center.
00:12:03.700 They could have been
00:12:04.280 separated multiple times.
00:12:05.420 They could have been
00:12:05.840 also moved multiple times.
00:12:07.380 And I doubt
00:12:08.200 that it was attorneys
00:12:09.840 that were hired
00:12:10.580 every time to move
00:12:11.500 these documents
00:12:12.240 that he didn't know he had,
00:12:13.980 even though they claimed
00:12:14.700 even this last week,
00:12:15.560 which I think is still absurd.
00:12:16.960 Oh, my attorneys
00:12:17.840 were packing up my office.
00:12:19.620 Attorneys are not
00:12:20.360 traditionally moving companies,
00:12:21.860 but if they were,
00:12:23.040 how many other times
00:12:23.840 did they move these documents?
00:12:24.900 The second timeline is
00:12:26.320 how long did he have
00:12:27.940 these documents
00:12:28.360 from the beginning,
00:12:29.740 not just that,
00:12:31.320 but also,
00:12:32.460 when did everybody
00:12:33.380 know about this?
00:12:34.660 And it was before Election Day
00:12:36.580 and there wasn't
00:12:37.620 a single leak on this
00:12:39.060 before the midterms.
00:12:41.520 Yeah, so the timeline,
00:12:43.460 they've laid out
00:12:44.480 some of the timeline.
00:12:45.420 We'll find out
00:12:45.920 if that timeline
00:12:46.520 is real or not.
00:12:47.520 We don't know right now.
00:12:48.680 But what they are admitting,
00:12:50.020 they claim they first found
00:12:52.080 these documents
00:12:54.280 on November 2nd.
00:12:57.240 Now, November 2nd,
00:12:58.520 if you look at a calendar,
00:12:59.980 is before November 8th,
00:13:01.900 which was Election Day.
00:13:03.720 Now, do you think
00:13:05.100 it might have been a problem
00:13:06.200 if when they found them
00:13:08.060 on November 2nd,
00:13:08.980 they had admitted
00:13:09.600 they found them
00:13:10.180 on November 2nd?
00:13:11.180 Sure.
00:13:11.800 There's a reason
00:13:12.740 they didn't tell anyone
00:13:14.340 until after Election Day
00:13:16.240 because it let the press
00:13:18.560 just focus on
00:13:19.700 and attack Donald Trump.
00:13:20.800 Donald Trump,
00:13:21.440 this is terrible.
00:13:22.680 Look, Biden,
00:13:23.980 how could you be
00:13:24.760 so irresponsible?
00:13:25.860 He, you know,
00:13:27.020 everyone knows
00:13:28.060 you would never leave.
00:13:30.180 In fact,
00:13:30.840 we have one of those
00:13:31.660 Biden clips
00:13:32.320 to remind people.
00:13:33.580 Take a listen.
00:13:34.300 Look at this.
00:13:35.240 This is Biden grandstanding
00:13:36.480 and this is going to come back
00:13:37.400 to haunt him,
00:13:37.920 I think,
00:13:38.180 for probably the next two years
00:13:39.200 of his presidency
00:13:39.900 at bare minimum.
00:13:41.000 Take a look at this.
00:13:41.820 When you saw the photograph
00:13:43.840 of the top secret documents
00:13:46.400 laid out on the floor
00:13:47.420 at Mar-a-Lago,
00:13:48.700 what did you think
00:13:49.280 to yourself
00:13:49.820 looking at that image?
00:13:51.480 How that could possibly happen?
00:13:56.580 How anyone could be
00:13:57.780 that irresponsible?
00:13:59.700 And I thought,
00:14:00.380 what data was in there
00:14:01.760 that may compromise
00:14:02.760 sources and methods?
00:14:04.500 By that,
00:14:05.140 I mean names of people
00:14:06.620 who helped,
00:14:07.280 et cetera.
00:14:08.580 And it's just
00:14:09.540 totally irresponsible.
00:14:12.360 Now, you look at that.
00:14:14.080 Before I get your response,
00:14:16.080 okay,
00:14:16.920 let's look at the last question
00:14:19.040 he answered today
00:14:20.220 on this
00:14:21.260 where he was asked like,
00:14:22.500 how could you be so stupid,
00:14:24.360 Mr. President,
00:14:25.080 to have documents
00:14:26.260 literally in your garage?
00:14:27.740 Here it is.
00:14:29.260 Mr. President,
00:14:30.260 Mr. President,
00:14:30.980 thank you,
00:14:31.400 thank you,
00:14:31.800 Mr. President,
00:14:32.580 Mr. President,
00:14:33.020 classified material
00:14:35.540 next to your Corvette.
00:14:37.820 What were you thinking?
00:14:40.580 Let me,
00:14:41.460 I'm going to get a chance
00:14:42.640 to speak on all this,
00:14:43.700 God willing, soon.
00:14:44.620 But as I said earlier this week,
00:14:46.800 people,
00:14:47.120 and by the way,
00:14:47.620 my Corvette's in a locked garage.
00:14:49.640 Okay?
00:14:49.900 So it's not like
00:14:50.700 you're sitting out
00:14:51.200 in the street.
00:14:51.720 But anyway,
00:14:52.540 yes,
00:14:54.900 as well as my Corvette.
00:14:57.080 But as I said earlier this week,
00:14:59.000 people know
00:15:00.260 I take classified documents
00:15:02.240 and classified material seriously.
00:15:04.260 No, you don't.
00:15:06.640 They're in your garage, man.
00:15:08.600 Ben,
00:15:08.940 all I got to say is
00:15:09.860 karma's a bitch.
00:15:11.000 Yeah.
00:15:12.220 Like,
00:15:13.800 the Democrats
00:15:14.540 and the press
00:15:15.740 have been grandstanding,
00:15:17.460 have been ridiculing
00:15:18.580 Donald Trump,
00:15:19.360 have been going after him
00:15:20.740 like crazy.
00:15:22.640 At this point,
00:15:24.960 it appears
00:15:25.540 Biden just keeps
00:15:26.620 finding classified documents,
00:15:28.460 first in the Penn Center,
00:15:29.960 then in the garage,
00:15:33.680 next to the Corvette.
00:15:35.800 By the way,
00:15:36.620 they also said
00:15:37.200 not just in the garage,
00:15:38.220 they said
00:15:38.580 and in the room
00:15:39.800 adjoining the garage.
00:15:41.000 They haven't said
00:15:41.440 what room that is.
00:15:42.320 Now, look,
00:15:42.720 most houses I've been in,
00:15:43.780 what is the room
00:15:44.380 adjoining the garage?
00:15:45.640 A bathroom?
00:15:46.460 Yeah.
00:15:47.040 Maybe the washing machine room?
00:15:49.360 Or an outside storage room
00:15:50.800 with outside entry
00:15:51.660 that's not exactly secure?
00:15:53.440 Like,
00:15:54.080 I don't know what it is,
00:15:55.040 but I think they don't want
00:15:55.820 to say what it is
00:15:56.680 because, like,
00:15:57.260 the other room...
00:15:57.760 It's almost like
00:15:58.240 the basement bathroom server,
00:16:00.220 right?
00:16:00.460 For Hillary.
00:16:01.100 It is.
00:16:01.720 Maybe that's what's there.
00:16:02.660 Maybe he's got Hillary's servers.
00:16:04.060 I don't know.
00:16:05.100 There's some speculation.
00:16:06.260 Look,
00:16:07.200 and then
00:16:08.240 Merrick Garland said,
00:16:09.400 oh, yeah,
00:16:09.700 and they found something else.
00:16:11.120 Like,
00:16:11.360 they didn't say where.
00:16:12.540 I don't know if it's like,
00:16:13.400 you know,
00:16:13.600 under his pillow.
00:16:14.380 He sleeps snuggling it.
00:16:16.320 Now,
00:16:16.460 I gotta say,
00:16:17.580 it's a little bit weird.
00:16:20.540 And to be honest,
00:16:21.460 it's weird that Trump
00:16:22.280 has these documents, too.
00:16:23.720 I'm not now.
00:16:24.640 I will say,
00:16:26.000 past presidents,
00:16:27.080 all of them have had disputes
00:16:28.400 with the archives
00:16:29.140 over their papers.
00:16:30.140 Yes.
00:16:30.620 They want it for the
00:16:31.320 presidential library.
00:16:32.300 They want it for their story.
00:16:33.860 They want it for their time
00:16:35.000 in office to show
00:16:35.820 their accomplishments.
00:16:36.840 I get that.
00:16:37.700 But to be clear,
00:16:38.900 so people understand this,
00:16:39.900 the vice president
00:16:41.000 cannot declassify anything
00:16:43.360 while they're in office.
00:16:43.920 He has zero authority
00:16:44.980 to declassify anything.
00:16:46.760 And listen,
00:16:47.460 I have served in the Senate.
00:16:50.020 I've never served
00:16:50.800 as president or vice president,
00:16:52.640 although I tried damn hard,
00:16:53.860 but I haven't.
00:16:55.820 You know,
00:16:56.500 Joe Biden spent 40 years
00:16:58.040 in the Senate.
00:16:59.340 I can tell you in the Senate,
00:17:01.000 there is a 0.0% chance
00:17:03.900 that I have a classified document
00:17:05.380 anywhere
00:17:06.500 because I've never taken
00:17:08.480 a classified document
00:17:09.620 out of the skiff.
00:17:10.620 Like in the Senate,
00:17:11.580 the only place you handle
00:17:13.360 classified documents
00:17:14.480 is in the secure room
00:17:16.720 in the basement of the Senate.
00:17:17.980 And if people missed
00:17:18.700 our last podcast,
00:17:19.580 you talked about the skiff.
00:17:21.220 We talked about the rules
00:17:23.440 and the regulations
00:17:24.360 and the protections
00:17:25.340 of classified documents
00:17:26.760 so that things like this
00:17:28.220 literally don't happen.
00:17:30.100 Go back and listen to that
00:17:31.080 because you explained
00:17:31.840 how it works for senators,
00:17:33.160 how it works for people
00:17:33.940 that have top secret clearance,
00:17:35.320 how it works for people
00:17:36.120 that work in our government.
00:17:37.560 And having them in your garage
00:17:39.040 is never an appropriate location.
00:17:40.880 Well, look,
00:17:41.260 when I was at
00:17:41.940 the Department of Justice
00:17:43.020 as an associate deputy
00:17:45.240 attorney general,
00:17:45.920 I had a safe in my office,
00:17:47.820 a big safe
00:17:48.900 that when I had
00:17:49.500 classified documents there,
00:17:51.180 you would put in the safe
00:17:52.720 and you would lock the safe.
00:17:55.480 The executive branch,
00:17:57.380 you encounter
00:17:57.920 more classified documents.
00:18:00.500 So it's less surprising
00:18:03.640 with presidents.
00:18:04.760 It's interesting
00:18:05.500 that Biden,
00:18:06.980 as vice president,
00:18:08.020 seems to have
00:18:08.640 these classified documents
00:18:09.880 laying around everywhere.
00:18:11.640 One of the leaks
00:18:12.280 said that these documents
00:18:13.940 dealt with Ukraine.
00:18:15.860 Some of these did.
00:18:16.640 One of the leaks
00:18:17.300 said also Iran
00:18:18.060 and possibly China.
00:18:19.800 There's a lot of money
00:18:20.860 that came in
00:18:21.520 from anonymous donors
00:18:22.420 to the Biden-Penn Center.
00:18:23.920 Forty-plus million dollars
00:18:25.420 were being told.
00:18:26.000 Funded by communist China.
00:18:27.200 Right.
00:18:27.380 Oh, good.
00:18:27.820 You got the docs on China
00:18:29.220 in the place funded
00:18:31.180 by the Chinese.
00:18:31.980 That's a good idea.
00:18:32.840 Yeah.
00:18:33.100 And a place that,
00:18:34.360 let's be clear,
00:18:35.080 so people understand,
00:18:35.780 it was not considered
00:18:36.520 a secure location.
00:18:38.000 He also,
00:18:38.940 obviously,
00:18:39.380 went off script.
00:18:39.980 I'm sure his staff
00:18:40.540 is furious.
00:18:41.020 And he said,
00:18:41.920 well,
00:18:42.160 it's where my Corvette is
00:18:43.760 and it's locked
00:18:44.480 in my garage.
00:18:45.300 Like,
00:18:45.960 hey,
00:18:46.180 that's a Biden vault here.
00:18:47.560 Everybody calm down.
00:18:49.040 But when,
00:18:49.460 I mean,
00:18:49.780 this is not a secure location,
00:18:51.660 especially before
00:18:52.580 he became the president again.
00:18:53.640 Like,
00:18:54.100 there's still people
00:18:54.840 around his house
00:18:55.460 in Delaware now
00:18:56.060 because he's the president.
00:18:56.980 But in this time,
00:18:58.040 I was telling the two time frames,
00:19:00.220 there was years here
00:19:01.640 where he had
00:19:02.200 no Secret Service protection,
00:19:04.060 no protection at all.
00:19:05.400 Vice presidents
00:19:05.860 don't get protection afterwards.
00:19:07.600 Usually,
00:19:07.920 they're pretty much
00:19:08.600 on their own afterwards.
00:19:09.500 He was gone
00:19:10.720 from this residency
00:19:12.220 in Delaware,
00:19:12.980 which means
00:19:13.440 there was no one
00:19:14.440 watching these documents.
00:19:16.100 Well,
00:19:16.620 but it was by his Corvette.
00:19:17.660 That's true.
00:19:18.160 So that's safe.
00:19:18.880 And I do hope
00:19:19.960 we actually find out
00:19:20.940 where exactly
00:19:21.960 in the garage,
00:19:23.760 like just
00:19:24.120 in a pile of papers.
00:19:25.540 Well,
00:19:25.800 even as,
00:19:26.360 they showed a campaign ad
00:19:27.520 and now people
00:19:28.520 are zooming in
00:19:29.160 and there's a little
00:19:29.860 pile of documents,
00:19:30.900 you can see papers
00:19:31.760 in these bags
00:19:33.620 next to where his Corvette is
00:19:35.140 when he's pulling
00:19:35.720 the Corvette out
00:19:36.660 of his garage
00:19:37.380 and back in
00:19:38.160 for some campaign,
00:19:39.640 you know,
00:19:40.140 purpose he had back
00:19:40.920 in,
00:19:41.080 I think it said 2019.
00:19:42.540 So I also gotta say,
00:19:44.420 why are they in his garage
00:19:46.840 with his Corvette?
00:19:47.840 Look,
00:19:48.280 I've read lots
00:19:49.200 of classified documents.
00:19:50.200 I've never seen one
00:19:51.020 that I've said,
00:19:52.000 I want to take this home.
00:19:53.360 Now,
00:19:53.660 I'm not Sandy Berger.
00:19:54.520 I've never stuffed documents
00:19:55.420 down my pants.
00:19:56.280 So I don't understand
00:19:57.560 how Democrats deal with this.
00:19:59.020 But I don't know
00:20:00.200 why these documents
00:20:01.320 were so special to him
00:20:02.800 that he apparently
00:20:03.900 is hiding them
00:20:04.760 throughout his house.
00:20:05.560 Now,
00:20:06.100 listen,
00:20:06.400 let's set aside,
00:20:08.420 we'll see what
00:20:08.980 this special counsel does.
00:20:10.760 This is going to complicate
00:20:12.320 Joe Biden's life.
00:20:15.160 But the person who's...
00:20:15.900 How much is it gonna
00:20:16.360 complicate it?
00:20:17.120 I mean,
00:20:17.360 is this one of those
00:20:18.740 where your agenda
00:20:20.020 gets derailed
00:20:20.860 and this could get nasty
00:20:22.560 because it could connect you
00:20:24.740 as the big guy
00:20:25.580 and these documents?
00:20:26.680 Because if these documents
00:20:27.560 that he kept
00:20:28.260 dealt with financial issues
00:20:30.860 or things
00:20:31.780 or decisions
00:20:33.940 by our government
00:20:34.960 that could have
00:20:35.560 a positive impact
00:20:36.640 on his son's
00:20:37.380 financial dealings
00:20:38.280 in Ukraine,
00:20:39.660 Burisma,
00:20:40.800 China,
00:20:41.680 and other financial things,
00:20:43.160 some of these documents
00:20:44.340 could have dealt
00:20:45.040 with those issues.
00:20:46.320 And if they did,
00:20:48.340 the world of trouble
00:20:49.920 gets vastly larger.
00:20:52.040 Now,
00:20:52.220 look,
00:20:52.420 we have no evidence,
00:20:53.360 no indication right now
00:20:54.600 of what's in those documents
00:20:56.160 other than people
00:20:56.900 have leaked
00:20:57.280 that they concerned
00:20:58.200 Iran and the UK
00:20:59.980 and Ukraine.
00:21:00.920 if they concerned
00:21:02.560 Hunter Biden
00:21:03.600 and Burisma,
00:21:05.440 business deals
00:21:06.340 in Ukraine,
00:21:06.680 the whole world changes.
00:21:07.900 If they were documents
00:21:09.460 that are
00:21:10.580 relevant
00:21:13.240 to questions
00:21:14.440 of official corruption
00:21:15.620 by Joe Biden
00:21:16.460 and Hunter Biden,
00:21:17.400 that's a big deal,
00:21:18.600 but we have no indication
00:21:19.460 of that now.
00:21:20.280 So it's,
00:21:21.260 that would change
00:21:22.520 the situation
00:21:23.600 pretty dramatically.
00:21:25.420 Some of this
00:21:26.140 is gonna depend
00:21:26.740 on Robert Herr
00:21:27.320 and if he is
00:21:29.240 a straightforward
00:21:29.840 by the book
00:21:30.580 prosecutor
00:21:31.300 or if he is
00:21:33.500 part of
00:21:34.740 the deep state
00:21:35.940 that,
00:21:36.680 that manufactured
00:21:38.600 the Russia case
00:21:39.600 against Donald Trump
00:21:40.780 in the most corrupt
00:21:41.920 way imaginable.
00:21:43.060 If he goes in
00:21:44.300 and his approach
00:21:44.980 to this,
00:21:45.760 look,
00:21:46.360 the Biden Department
00:21:47.280 of Justice,
00:21:47.760 I talk about this
00:21:48.620 in the book
00:21:48.960 Justice Corrupted,
00:21:50.200 they appointed
00:21:50.900 a special counsel
00:21:52.280 to look at
00:21:52.800 Lois Lerner.
00:21:53.600 Yeah.
00:21:54.080 And that special counsel
00:21:55.200 was a big Democrat donor
00:21:56.420 who promptly said
00:21:57.680 nothing to see here,
00:21:58.540 all fine.
00:21:59.300 It is possible
00:22:00.380 that this appointment
00:22:02.320 is entirely about optics
00:22:04.280 and his job
00:22:05.360 is just,
00:22:06.540 you know,
00:22:07.000 say,
00:22:07.400 well,
00:22:07.780 he screwed up
00:22:08.480 but he didn't mean to
00:22:09.420 and everything's fine,
00:22:10.880 never mind.
00:22:12.180 That's possible.
00:22:13.680 It's also possible,
00:22:15.020 look,
00:22:15.160 anytime you have
00:22:15.660 a special counsel
00:22:16.420 that has the potential
00:22:17.540 to balloon
00:22:18.140 and get bigger
00:22:19.040 and bigger
00:22:19.960 and bigger.
00:22:21.460 Bill Clinton
00:22:22.060 learned that.
00:22:23.300 Donald Trump
00:22:23.940 learned that.
00:22:25.000 There's a long history
00:22:25.960 of special counsels
00:22:26.900 of their jurisdictions
00:22:27.700 growing.
00:22:30.160 And so,
00:22:31.140 if that happens,
00:22:32.220 that would be a big deal
00:22:33.400 but even if none
00:22:34.100 of that happens,
00:22:35.260 this has dramatically
00:22:37.580 complicated Merrick Garland's
00:22:39.360 life.
00:22:40.380 It's dramatically
00:22:41.160 complicated.
00:22:42.900 We've talked on this
00:22:43.960 podcast at length.
00:22:45.080 I believe
00:22:46.000 Merrick Garland
00:22:47.320 wants to criminally
00:22:48.320 charge Donald Trump.
00:22:50.160 Yeah,
00:22:50.340 does that take this
00:22:51.120 off the table
00:22:51.680 in essence now?
00:22:53.220 Well,
00:22:53.500 we talked before
00:22:54.460 about the reason
00:22:55.500 they leaked
00:22:56.100 that they were
00:22:56.560 going to prosecute
00:22:58.280 Hunter Biden.
00:22:58.960 Now,
00:22:59.200 remember,
00:22:59.700 what they've leaked
00:23:00.720 is they want
00:23:01.180 to prosecute
00:23:01.680 Hunter Biden
00:23:02.240 on his personal
00:23:03.440 crimes that only
00:23:04.260 implicate him
00:23:05.020 and don't implicate
00:23:05.980 his dad.
00:23:07.300 And you and I
00:23:08.160 have talked about
00:23:08.800 that I think
00:23:09.240 they want to do
00:23:09.840 that as political
00:23:11.440 cover to say,
00:23:12.380 see,
00:23:12.580 we prosecute
00:23:13.100 Hunter Biden,
00:23:13.560 we prosecute
00:23:14.000 Donald Trump,
00:23:14.660 aren't we even
00:23:15.180 handed?
00:23:15.460 this just
00:23:17.420 changed that
00:23:18.220 whole chessboard
00:23:18.960 because it
00:23:20.560 ain't complicated
00:23:21.500 that if both
00:23:23.300 Trump and Biden
00:23:24.140 have classified
00:23:25.040 docs and
00:23:25.880 suddenly the
00:23:26.500 Biden DOJ
00:23:27.320 says we're
00:23:27.820 prosecuting
00:23:28.460 Trump but
00:23:28.940 not Biden,
00:23:30.820 even the
00:23:31.740 lapdogs in
00:23:32.520 the corporate
00:23:32.920 media,
00:23:34.600 like that
00:23:35.260 question you
00:23:36.360 can't refrain
00:23:38.380 from asking.
00:23:39.260 And so
00:23:39.660 it's why
00:23:41.660 Merrick Garland
00:23:42.400 looks so
00:23:43.060 miserable because
00:23:43.740 he's looking
00:23:44.360 down the road
00:23:45.200 and his
00:23:45.620 plan of
00:23:46.560 what he
00:23:47.040 thought he
00:23:47.320 was going
00:23:47.540 to do
00:23:47.720 just got
00:23:48.160 screwed up.
00:23:48.940 And I
00:23:49.520 don't know
00:23:49.840 where this
00:23:50.180 goes.
00:23:50.600 I mean,
00:23:50.840 it really
00:23:51.500 is.
00:23:52.280 And by
00:23:52.620 the way,
00:23:52.980 at this
00:23:53.340 point,
00:23:53.740 it seems
00:23:54.480 every day
00:23:55.000 Biden keeps
00:23:55.640 finding more
00:23:56.340 classified
00:23:56.780 documents.
00:23:57.780 This may
00:23:58.140 not be
00:23:58.420 the end
00:23:58.680 of it.
00:23:59.000 It may
00:23:59.160 not be
00:23:59.560 the end.
00:24:00.160 It has
00:24:00.820 dribbled
00:24:01.280 out.
00:24:02.380 Now,
00:24:02.520 it's worth
00:24:02.920 underscoring
00:24:03.900 Joe Biden
00:24:05.560 and or his
00:24:06.480 team knew
00:24:08.080 about this
00:24:08.760 six days
00:24:09.560 before Election
00:24:10.480 Day.
00:24:10.980 They hid
00:24:11.900 it from
00:24:12.440 the American
00:24:13.100 people.
00:24:14.040 They
00:24:14.100 deliberately
00:24:14.880 hid it for
00:24:15.580 the American
00:24:16.040 people.
00:24:16.880 Now,
00:24:17.100 do I
00:24:17.460 know if
00:24:17.840 Joe Biden
00:24:18.320 knew personally?
00:24:19.080 No.
00:24:19.720 But they're
00:24:20.060 one of two
00:24:20.540 scenarios.
00:24:21.180 One,
00:24:21.580 he knew,
00:24:22.120 which is
00:24:22.360 probably the
00:24:23.060 case.
00:24:23.440 Sure.
00:24:24.000 Or two,
00:24:24.760 if he
00:24:25.120 didn't know,
00:24:25.840 the only
00:24:26.200 reason he
00:24:26.740 wouldn't know
00:24:27.260 is if his
00:24:27.860 team deliberately
00:24:28.980 didn't tell
00:24:29.680 him so he
00:24:30.520 could have
00:24:30.840 plausible
00:24:31.280 deniability
00:24:31.980 and say,
00:24:32.420 I didn't
00:24:32.620 know.
00:24:32.820 either
00:24:34.560 way,
00:24:35.860 that deception
00:24:37.880 to try to
00:24:39.060 influence the
00:24:39.880 election
00:24:40.340 is really
00:24:42.980 corrupt.
00:24:44.160 It's
00:24:44.780 corrupt on
00:24:45.240 a level
00:24:45.580 that he
00:24:46.420 will now
00:24:46.840 have to
00:24:47.200 be held
00:24:47.460 accountable
00:24:47.860 for if
00:24:49.080 this
00:24:49.340 prosecutor
00:24:49.700 goes
00:24:49.980 somewhere.
00:24:50.460 Let's
00:24:50.780 talk about
00:24:51.400 the job
00:24:52.000 of the
00:24:52.200 special
00:24:52.460 prosecutor
00:24:52.860 quickly.
00:24:53.520 And by
00:24:53.760 the way,
00:24:54.000 I will
00:24:54.220 say,
00:24:55.240 look,
00:24:55.560 we're
00:24:55.760 seeing
00:24:56.260 this week,
00:24:57.060 we're
00:24:57.900 seeing
00:24:58.300 suddenly
00:24:58.760 reporters
00:24:59.340 asking
00:24:59.800 real
00:25:00.200 questions
00:25:00.880 at the
00:25:01.740 White House
00:25:02.100 press
00:25:02.460 briefing.
00:25:03.000 We're
00:25:03.060 seeing
00:25:03.300 and not
00:25:03.940 just
00:25:04.240 reporters
00:25:04.700 from
00:25:04.940 Fox.
00:25:05.540 We're
00:25:05.660 seeing
00:25:06.180 CBS.
00:25:08.060 But like
00:25:08.500 suddenly
00:25:09.140 the
00:25:10.080 corporate
00:25:10.540 media,
00:25:11.440 it's
00:25:11.840 gotten
00:25:12.320 bad
00:25:13.200 enough
00:25:13.620 that
00:25:14.920 they're
00:25:15.180 being
00:25:15.440 forced
00:25:15.840 to do
00:25:16.140 their
00:25:16.320 jobs.
00:25:16.820 That's
00:25:17.140 an
00:25:17.240 important
00:25:17.560 development.
00:25:18.260 Or is
00:25:18.580 it
00:25:18.760 that the
00:25:19.300 useful
00:25:19.660 idiot
00:25:19.920 is
00:25:20.300 no
00:25:20.820 longer
00:25:21.100 useful
00:25:21.540 and
00:25:22.180 they're
00:25:22.680 saying
00:25:23.140 we
00:25:23.620 really
00:25:23.900 don't
00:25:24.200 want
00:25:24.400 him
00:25:24.560 to
00:25:24.700 run.
00:25:25.460 Democrats
00:25:26.100 clearly
00:25:26.640 were
00:25:27.580 kind
00:25:27.940 of
00:25:28.060 hoping
00:25:28.340 that
00:25:28.540 if
00:25:28.620 there
00:25:28.700 was
00:25:28.860 a
00:25:28.980 blood
00:25:29.140 bath
00:25:29.380 in
00:25:29.500 the
00:25:29.600 midterms
00:25:30.000 and the
00:25:30.220 Senate
00:25:30.380 was
00:25:30.580 lost
00:25:30.980 and the
00:25:31.180 House
00:25:31.380 was
00:25:31.540 lost
00:25:31.860 that
00:25:32.360 they
00:25:32.520 would
00:25:32.680 then
00:25:32.880 say
00:25:33.140 all right
00:25:33.520 we need
00:25:33.880 a new
00:25:34.100 leader
00:25:34.440 right
00:25:34.780 don't run
00:25:35.340 for
00:25:35.540 re-election
00:25:35.960 then it
00:25:36.680 was very
00:25:37.080 clear
00:25:37.400 they were
00:25:37.700 like
00:25:37.900 well
00:25:38.080 all right
00:25:38.240 we
00:25:38.360 got to
00:25:38.600 stick
00:25:38.820 with
00:25:38.940 him
00:25:39.040 now
00:25:39.280 because
00:25:39.540 they
00:25:39.700 still
00:25:39.920 have
00:25:40.080 the
00:25:40.240 Senate
00:25:40.460 this
00:25:41.520 could
00:25:41.760 be
00:25:41.880 their
00:25:42.040 moment
00:25:42.220 where
00:25:42.340 they
00:25:42.440 say
00:25:42.620 all right
00:25:42.800 let's
00:25:43.020 take
00:25:43.200 our
00:25:43.320 hand
00:25:43.540 off
00:25:43.780 of
00:25:43.900 him
00:25:44.080 and
00:25:44.220 this
00:25:44.480 may
00:25:44.700 be
00:25:44.800 our
00:25:44.940 way
00:25:45.060 to
00:25:45.180 get
00:25:45.320 rid
00:25:45.520 of
00:25:45.680 him
00:25:45.980 and
00:25:47.100 I
00:25:47.260 wonder
00:25:47.620 if
00:25:47.840 the
00:25:48.000 Democratic
00:25:48.360 party
00:25:48.680 is
00:25:48.820 now
00:25:48.940 kind
00:25:49.080 of
00:25:49.140 like
00:25:49.280 all right
00:25:49.600 we
00:25:49.760 got
00:25:49.980 through
00:25:50.140 the
00:25:50.300 midterms
00:25:50.780 we
00:25:51.180 don't
00:25:51.500 want
00:25:51.660 to
00:25:51.780 run
00:25:51.940 him
00:25:52.040 in
00:25:52.160 2024
00:25:52.680 we
00:25:53.840 desperately
00:25:54.280 want
00:25:54.560 a
00:25:54.680 new
00:25:54.820 face
00:25:55.380 we
00:25:55.760 got
00:25:55.920 rid
00:25:56.080 of
00:25:56.240 Pelosi
00:25:56.820 we
00:25:57.400 got
00:25:57.640 Hakeem
00:25:58.060 Jeffries
00:25:58.580 this
00:25:59.240 is
00:25:59.420 the
00:25:59.560 makeover
00:26:00.000 maybe
00:26:00.320 and the
00:26:00.680 easiest
00:26:00.960 way
00:26:01.160 to make
00:26:01.460 that
00:26:01.640 makeover
00:26:02.060 happen
00:26:02.480 so
00:26:03.180 maybe
00:26:03.680 I
00:26:05.040 will
00:26:05.340 say
00:26:05.820 if
00:26:06.160 you're
00:26:06.500 a
00:26:06.660 hardcore
00:26:07.020 partisan
00:26:07.620 Democrat
00:26:08.060 this
00:26:09.800 has
00:26:10.040 been
00:26:10.200 a
00:26:10.380 really
00:26:10.900 bad
00:26:11.280 week
00:26:11.600 yeah
00:26:12.000 and
00:26:14.480 if
00:26:14.700 you're
00:26:14.880 a
00:26:15.000 hardcore
00:26:15.300 partisan
00:26:15.820 Democrat
00:26:16.320 who
00:26:16.720 is
00:26:16.920 also
00:26:17.240 a
00:26:17.420 corporate
00:26:17.640 media
00:26:17.940 journalist
00:26:18.340 which
00:26:18.580 they
00:26:18.700 pretty
00:26:18.880 much
00:26:19.100 all
00:26:19.440 are
00:26:19.720 you
00:26:21.060 can
00:26:21.220 go
00:26:21.360 after
00:26:21.680 Biden
00:26:22.680 it's
00:26:23.380 time
00:26:23.620 to
00:26:23.760 ride
00:26:23.940 off
00:26:24.120 into
00:26:24.280 the
00:26:24.440 sunset
00:26:24.740 we
00:26:25.040 want
00:26:25.440 the
00:26:25.800 next
00:26:26.340 generation
00:26:26.900 of
00:26:27.100 Democrats
00:26:27.500 to
00:26:27.720 run
00:26:28.040 but
00:26:28.780 that's
00:26:29.040 a
00:26:29.160 dangerous
00:26:29.500 game
00:26:29.960 look
00:26:30.700 if
00:26:30.900 your
00:26:31.800 president
00:26:32.360 resigns
00:26:33.120 in
00:26:33.240 disgrace
00:26:33.600 or
00:26:33.900 doesn't
00:26:34.160 run
00:26:34.400 in
00:26:34.540 disgrace
00:26:34.920 because
00:26:35.760 they're
00:26:36.040 tarred
00:26:36.380 by
00:26:36.560 scandal
00:26:37.100 because
00:26:37.400 they're
00:26:37.640 facing
00:26:37.920 criminal
00:26:38.280 prosecution
00:26:38.960 that ain't
00:26:40.620 good
00:26:41.000 yeah
00:26:41.380 it
00:26:42.100 doesn't
00:26:42.600 set
00:26:43.080 well
00:26:43.600 with
00:26:43.760 the
00:26:43.880 next
00:26:44.200 guy

00:26:54.820 screwed
00:26:55.280 up
00:26:55.540 and

00:27:21.840 exactly
00:27:22.620 how
00:27:23.000 this
00:27:23.200 happened
00:27:23.640 the
00:27:24.200 timeline
00:27:24.940 piece
00:27:25.480 by
00:27:25.720 piece
00:27:26.060 about
00:27:26.340 what
00:27:27.040 was
00:27:27.280 known
00:27:27.640 overnight
00:27:28.220 going
00:27:28.860 into

00:27:31.860 glitches
00:27:32.840 or
00:27:32.980 complications
00:27:33.500 happen
00:27:34.320 all the
00:27:34.700 time
00:27:34.980 but
00:27:35.200 we
00:27:35.600 can't
00:27:35.980 allow
00:27:36.240 them
00:27:36.500 to
00:27:36.940 ever
00:27:38.200 lead
00:27:38.660 to
00:27:38.820 this
00:27:39.180 level
00:27:39.440 of
00:27:39.580 disruption
00:27:39.940 and
00:27:40.360 we
00:27:40.560 won't
00:27:40.860 ever
00:27:41.120 allow
00:27:41.400 them
00:27:41.640 to
00:27:42.000 lead
00:27:42.160 to
00:27:42.260 a
00:27:42.380 safety
00:27:42.560 problem
00:27:42.960 can
00:27:43.880 you
00:27:44.020 promise
00:27:44.400 that
00:27:44.700 I
00:27:44.820 don't
00:27:45.040 think
00:27:45.320 so
00:27:45.660 like
00:27:45.960 we
00:27:46.080 won't
00:27:46.260 ever
00:27:46.440 let
00:27:46.660 this
00:27:46.820 happen
00:27:47.060 again
00:27:47.220 but
00:27:47.340 we
00:27:47.460 don't
00:27:47.600 know
00:27:47.720 what
00:27:47.820 happened
00:27:48.120 and
00:27:48.240 we
00:27:48.340 got
00:27:48.460 some
00:27:48.620 good
00:27:48.760 data
00:27:49.020 points
00:27:49.380 it's
00:27:49.920 almost
00:27:50.140 like
00:27:50.480 being
00:27:50.760 a
00:27:50.940 small
00:27:51.180 town
00:27:51.460 mayor
00:27:51.800 is
00:27:52.060 not
00:27:52.240 really
00:27:52.460 qualifications
00:27:53.140 to run
00:27:53.780 a
00:27:53.900 major
00:27:54.140 cabinet
00:27:54.480 agency
00:27:54.960 when
00:27:55.180 you
00:27:55.280 know
00:27:55.420 nothing
00:27:55.760 about
00:27:56.020 the
00:27:56.160 industry
00:27:56.400 look
00:27:56.760 you
00:27:57.200 look
00:27:57.500 at
00:27:57.760 Buttigieg's
00:27:58.700 tenure
00:27:59.020 his
00:27:59.940 first
00:28:00.220 year
00:28:00.480 in
00:28:00.640 office
00:28:00.980 we
00:28:01.240 had
00:28:01.400 a
00:28:01.520 major
00:28:01.960 supply
00:28:02.540 chain
00:28:02.880 crisis
00:28:03.340 which
00:28:03.720 most
00:28:04.120 people
00:28:04.440 hadn't
00:28:04.700 even
00:28:04.840 focused
00:28:05.240 on
00:28:05.480 what
00:28:05.660 the
00:28:05.780 heck
00:28:05.920 a
00:28:06.040 supply
00:28:06.360 chain
00:28:06.720 was
00:28:07.440 until
00:28:08.240 the
00:28:08.460 Biden
00:28:08.700 administration
00:28:09.320 screwed
00:28:09.680 it
00:28:09.780 up
00:28:09.900 in
00:28:10.280 the
00:28:10.440 middle
00:28:10.640 of
00:28:10.820 the
00:28:10.960 biggest
00:28:11.260 crisis
00:28:11.800 the
00:28:12.100 transportation
00:28:12.640 department
00:28:13.200 has
00:28:13.360 ever
00:28:13.520 seen
00:28:13.980 Pete
00:28:15.560 Buttigieg
00:28:15.940 was
00:28:16.240 on
00:28:16.420 paternity
00:28:16.820 leave
00:28:17.120 and
00:28:17.240 he
00:28:17.320 wasn't
00:28:17.540 at
00:28:17.660 the
00:28:17.760 office
00:28:18.100 then
00:28:19.540 we
00:28:19.980 saw
00:28:20.300 just
00:28:20.560 a
00:28:20.700 couple
00:28:20.880 of
00:28:21.040 months
00:28:21.260 ago
00:28:21.560 we
00:28:21.800 were
00:28:21.960 on
00:28:22.100 the
00:28:22.300 verge
00:28:22.880 of
00:28:23.620 a
00:28:23.780 massive
00:28:24.380 and
00:28:24.700 major
00:28:25.100 rail
00:28:25.480 strike
00:28:25.940 again
00:28:27.060 because
00:28:27.620 the
00:28:28.280 Biden
00:28:28.520 administration
00:28:29.120 had
00:28:29.420 screwed
00:28:29.820 it
00:28:29.980 up
00:28:30.200 and
00:28:30.740 now
00:28:31.300 oops
00:28:32.380 the
00:28:34.200 FAA
00:28:34.680 is not
00:28:35.340 able to
00:28:35.720 keep
00:28:35.880 planes
00:28:36.240 in the
00:28:36.480 air
00:28:36.660 safely
00:28:37.160 and
00:28:37.640 by
00:28:37.860 the
00:28:38.020 way
00:28:38.340 the
00:28:38.560 Biden
00:28:38.840 administration
00:28:39.440 two
00:28:39.760 years
00:28:40.080 in
00:28:40.380 does
00:28:40.880 not
00:28:41.240 have
00:28:41.940 an
00:28:42.420 FAA
00:28:42.800 administrator
00:28:43.560 in
00:28:43.860 place
00:28:44.360 they
00:28:44.900 nominated
00:28:45.400 the
00:28:45.620 guy
00:28:45.820 who
00:28:46.000 runs
00:28:46.260 the
00:28:46.420 Denver
00:28:46.700 airport

00:29:41.600 next
00:29:41.840 week
00:29:42.000 all right
00:29:42.220 as we
00:29:42.760 wrap
00:29:43.040 up
00:29:43.220 I
00:29:43.360 want
00:29:43.520 to do
00:29:43.760 something
00:29:44.060 just
00:29:44.320 interesting
00:29:44.740 as I
00:29:45.120 was
00:29:45.300 on
00:29:45.460 my
00:29:45.660 phone
00:29:45.980 and I
00:29:46.220 was
00:29:46.360 looking
00:29:46.700 at
00:29:47.080 at
00:29:47.940 different
00:29:49.560 doing
00:29:50.480 research
00:29:50.900 for this
00:29:51.260 show
00:29:51.500 I
00:29:52.580 stumbled
00:29:53.160 across
00:29:53.700 an
00:29:53.920 article
00:29:54.340 in
00:29:54.720 Britannica
00:29:55.560 that I
00:29:55.840 just
00:29:56.000 thought
00:29:56.180 was
00:29:56.320 interesting
00:29:56.740 which
00:29:57.780 is
00:29:57.940 the
00:29:58.120 secret
00:29:58.460 service
00:29:59.120 codenames
00:29:59.900 for
00:30:00.140 US
00:30:00.400 presidents
00:30:00.820 and I
00:30:01.220 didn't
00:30:01.600 know
00:30:01.800 this
00:30:02.420 so
00:30:03.560 starting
00:30:04.420 with
00:30:04.620 JFK
00:30:05.220 JFK's
00:30:06.820 codename
00:30:07.260 I have
00:30:08.400 no idea
00:30:08.920 Lancer

00:30:11.400 one out

00:30:12.860 Searchlight
00:30:14.400 that
00:30:15.640 actually
00:30:15.960 makes sense
00:30:16.480 Watergate

00:30:17.280 that
00:30:17.540 one

00:30:28.940 like
00:30:29.060 for
00:30:29.300 him
00:30:29.560 that
00:30:29.740 makes
00:30:30.000 a lot
00:30:30.260 of

00:30:39.380 just
00:30:39.540 awesome
00:30:40.080 George

00:30:52.580 got

00:30:57.500 right
00:30:57.800 that's
00:30:59.720 not
00:30:59.900 right
00:31:00.200 that's
00:31:00.720 fake
00:31:00.940 news

00:31:04.120 trailblazer

00:31:07.860 Obama
00:31:08.700 I have
00:31:10.000 a feeling
00:31:10.380 they're
00:31:10.560 gonna
00:31:10.700 up
00:31:10.980 his
00:31:11.160 ante
00:31:11.400 just
00:31:11.640 cause
00:31:11.800 it
00:31:11.920 was
00:31:12.040 Obama
00:31:12.480 Renegade

00:31:14.440 Trump
00:31:15.580 this
00:31:16.460 one
00:31:16.660 is
00:31:16.940 probably
00:31:17.400 I
00:31:17.640 would
00:31:17.760 assume
00:31:18.040 bad
00:31:18.540 but
00:31:19.180 maybe
00:31:19.540 they
00:31:19.800 gave
00:31:20.020 him
00:31:20.120 something
00:31:20.380 decent
00:31:20.660 at the
00:31:20.880 beginning
00:31:21.140 of
00:31:21.280 his
00:31:21.380 administration
00:31:21.960 mogul
00:31:23.060 that's
00:31:24.100 totally
00:31:24.660 accurate
00:31:25.160 and
00:31:25.980 Joe
00:31:26.180 Biden
00:31:26.520 document
00:31:27.720 Celtic
00:31:30.680 they
00:31:31.360 should
00:31:31.580 have
00:31:31.680 at least
00:31:31.940 gone
00:31:32.120 with
00:31:32.260 Corvette
00:31:32.720 actually
00:31:33.240 don't
00:31:33.460 know
00:31:33.600 if
00:31:33.720 it's
00:31:33.900 Celtic
00:31:34.300 or
00:31:34.440 Celtic
00:31:34.960 but
00:31:35.480 it's
00:31:35.740 spelled
00:31:36.100 Celtic
00:31:36.760 one
00:31:37.020 of
00:31:37.120 the
00:31:37.220 two
00:31:37.480 maybe
00:31:38.580 he's
00:31:38.780 a
00:31:38.880 Boston
00:31:39.180 fan
00:31:39.460 in
00:31:39.580 Delaware
00:31:39.880 who knows
00:31:40.380 he's
00:31:41.400 leaning
00:31:41.640 in
00:31:41.860 on
00:31:42.000 the
00:31:42.120 Irish
00:31:42.440 so
00:31:42.720 that's
00:31:43.340 not
00:31:43.500 particularly
00:31:43.920 relevant
00:31:44.340 to
00:31:44.620 the

00:31:45.900 saw
00:31:46.440 that
00:31:46.740 and
00:31:46.960 thought
00:31:47.400 it was
00:31:47.640 interesting
00:31:48.020 and
00:31:48.240 I
00:31:48.360 figured
00:31:48.560 the
00:31:48.740 folks
00:31:48.940 listening
00:31:49.240 to
