[00:00:00,000]: This woman came up to me screeching in a way I mean she can’t know me she didn’t know me I never met her as screeching screeching screeching swearing and then spitting

[00:00:08,479]: That suggests that your mere physical presence evokes an emotional response

[00:00:14,880]: DOJ is a bigger mess even than some conspiracy minded people on the outside like me imagine

[00:00:19,739]: Some people would say what’s Dan doing Bungino

[00:00:21,620]: He’s going hammer and tongs at this stuff right here

[00:00:23,940]: The scope is bigger and it is therefore much much worse than people think

[00:00:28,500]: Why would Tom Tillis be the instrument of your destruction

[00:00:31,860]: He railed on J6

[00:00:34,119]: He said how could you represent J6 people

[00:00:36,740]: How can how stupid do people have to be to go into the Capitol and blah blah blah

[00:00:40,400]: The Republican Party tells you they’re one thing but they’re actually another thing

[00:00:43,740]: Right now it’s Trump’s party it’s just that some of the elites don’t want to let go right

[00:00:47,259]: Exactly

[00:00:47,540]: You want your kid to go to Georgetown oh he goes to Georgetown

[00:00:49,580]: It’s way more than that people just have no idea

[00:00:52,520]: The CIA small arms training facility was on their campus

[00:00:55,919]: It’s an arm of the deepest of the deep state it’s way worse than Harvard actually I think

[00:01:22,400]: So I’m laughing I saw a very angry young woman spit in your face on camera two days ago

[00:01:32,139]: That suggests that your mere physical presence evokes an emotional response why

[00:01:41,419]: DC is in trouble I’m from there I can vouch for that

[00:01:44,919]: You were gonna fix it

[00:01:46,480]: What exactly do you think from your perspective was the resistance to you

[00:01:51,580]: Well first I’d like to point out Tucker because I’ve been accused of having a signature piece of clothing now like in the old days the bow tie you know the jacket that they sort of raincoat

[00:02:01,160]: Yeah

[00:02:01,339]: The New York Times called it my signature

[00:02:03,339]: I like it

[00:02:03,940]: It was very effective because the spit went on the raincoat it was able to be cleaned up

[00:02:07,739]: It’s very old school Watergate by the way

[00:02:10,080]: Colombo I’m going Colombo not as my kids said Inspector Gadget

[00:02:13,240]: I thought that was degrading and I’ve indicted all three of the four of them now

[00:02:17,139]: All right so look I did the job

[00:02:20,580]: President Trump gave me this incredible privilege

[00:02:23,399]: Usually a U S attorney is nominated and then they get confirmed and then they come into office right

[00:02:29,779]: Yes

[00:02:29,839]: So it’s usually like October and you finally get somebody in office and that whole time you have the Sally Yates problem

[00:02:35,880]: Remember Sally Yates

[00:02:36,839]: Very well

[00:02:37,100]: Who was acting he has some acting person that’s either undermining you or is not totally into the job

[00:02:42,399]: Exactly

[00:02:42,880]: Okay so I said to the president a while ago if you want me to do this job can I have it on day one

[00:02:47,559]: And he agreed and he put me on day one

[00:02:49,300]: And so day one we started swinging right away at all the things that we needed to swing at right

[00:02:54,639]: First of all day one we had the pardons 1 600 pardons

[00:02:58,020]: Day two or three we had two pardons of cops

[00:03:00,580]: Day three or four we had all the face act pardons

[00:03:03,300]: It was a busy first week

[00:03:04,300]: But more importantly as we were talking about affair I started swinging

[00:03:09,220]: We started actually going for it

[00:03:10,479]: We said okay weaponization Chuck Schumer’s a bully and we went at this fight hammer and tongs and everybody noticed

[00:03:18,380]: Everybody noticed

[00:03:19,220]: Chuck Schumer noticed

[00:03:19,919]: Dick Durbin starts firing off letters of complaint all kinds of things

[00:03:24,199]: And that’s how you’re supposed to do the job

[00:03:26,559]: I wish it was Consistent with the president’s mandate since he was just elected by the majority of voters

[00:03:32,259]: Right it’s called democracy

[00:03:33,080]: It’s called democracy and he actually put some you know he put he signed orders

[00:03:38,179]: He signed what he gave us the direction he wanted us to do executive orders said stop the weaponization go look at this

[00:03:43,720]: And then by the way Attorney General Bondi got in

[00:03:45,759]: She gave us an even more specific list right

[00:03:47,919]: But more importantly Tucker if it was 100 years ago maybe you could just be genteel and prosecute the cases as they came along right

[00:03:57,820]: You could sit around and say sooner or later it’ll all work out

[00:04:01,000]: It’s not 100 years ago

[00:04:02,440]: And the fight right now is a fight over everything from information to accountability to healing right

[00:04:09,600]: So that’s the fight

[00:04:11,059]: And U S Attorney is on the front lines in Washington D C when they’re going after Elon Musk or Judge Bozberg

[00:04:17,940]: They went after both and I gave both of them a letter that said hey I got your back

[00:04:21,760]: If you even threaten these people in a way that goes over the line we’re gonna indict you

[00:04:26,440]: You’re talking about the mob threatening with physical violence

[00:04:28,160]: Yeah the mob threatened Elon and the Doge guys

[00:04:30,440]: The mob threatened my prosecutors

[00:04:31,940]: The mob threatened Bozberg

[00:04:33,559]: And I said any of these things we’re gonna put a stop to it

[00:04:36,720]: But what happens is I’ve not been able to try this out

[00:04:40,660]: I’ll try to see if you like it

[00:04:41,660]: The Schumer smear

[00:04:43,200]: Schumer was so mad that I got into office and I said hold on a second

[00:04:46,880]: You’re not allowed to say the whirlwind is coming for Gorsuch and Kavanaugh

[00:04:51,679]: And then a month later Kavanaugh’s got a guy with zip ties and a gun

[00:04:54,779]: Remember this

[00:04:55,459]: This is Very well

[00:04:56,220]: And so I said hold on

[00:04:57,579]: The statute of limitations is coming five years

[00:05:00,540]: I’m gonna investigate this

[00:05:01,660]: And I’m gonna ask Chuck Schumer what did you mean

[00:05:03,700]: You cannot mean that you’re allowed to stand and threaten justices right

[00:05:08,279]: And so I put that out

[00:05:09,500]: He refused to answer

[00:05:10,559]: He said it’s offensive all that stuff

[00:05:12,399]: And then he went on a jihad inside the Senate

[00:05:16,579]: He got opposition research and he went member to member and said this guy Martin you can’t vote for him

[00:05:21,320]: This guy Martin you can’t

[00:05:22,399]: And so it’s the Schumer smear

[00:05:24,000]: Then they called me names in the Washington Post

[00:05:26,440]: The Washington Post did something they’ve never done before Tucker

[00:05:29,700]: Underneath the line Spencer Hsu he put a thing that said if you have any tips on Martin send them to us

[00:05:35,660]: They’ve never done this before

[00:05:37,179]: Like we wanna get Martin send us the tips

[00:05:39,760]: I sent a letter to Bezos

[00:05:41,420]: I said hey I’m not sure this is how the newspaper’s supposed to run

[00:05:44,459]: He hasn’t responded yet

[00:05:45,720]: But my point is President Trump said fight for the future of the country

[00:05:50,640]: And that fight can’t be trapped in the article three gentility of a hundred years ago

[00:05:57,940]: It’s the fight we got right now and that’s what we’re doing

[00:06:00,000]: So I think they hated me

[00:06:00,980]: And this woman came up to me screeching in a way I mean she can’t know me

[00:06:05,000]: She didn’t know me

[00:06:05,700]: I never met her

[00:06:06,660]: A screeching screeching screeching swearing and then spitting

[00:06:10,019]: You know I don’t know I just Who was she

[00:06:12,200]: What happened to her

[00:06:13,079]: Well they’ve identified her and I guess they’ve I don’t know if they’ve picked her up yet but they know exactly who it is and all that

[00:06:18,200]: And so as you might imagine I’m not involved in the case because you know I’m the victim in this case

[00:06:23,119]: So it’s gotta be processed

[00:06:24,459]: But I think that you know marshals and FBI were right on it and they’ve gotta figure it out

[00:06:29,440]: So you think the genesis of the opposition was your request to Chuck Schumer that he answer questions about encouraging violence against the Supreme Court justice

[00:06:37,200]: Well I think that I the role I played was is epitomized by that right

[00:06:45,660]: Public and willing to fight for the right things

[00:06:48,559]: And Schumer certainly took it to heart and made a big deal out of it

[00:06:51,820]: And then they just made me into somebody who’s the Washington Post had me on the front page of A1 or B1 every day for three or four weeks

[00:06:59,920]: Like wild

[00:07:01,059]: A U S attorney

[00:07:02,239]: Dick Durbin sent me 561 questions

[00:07:05,279]: District court judges don’t get that many

[00:07:07,579]: You know no U S attorney’s ever gotten that many

[00:07:09,500]: Question after question accusing me of this and that and the other thing

[00:07:12,760]: So they obviously knew they didn’t like something about what I was doing

[00:07:16,980]: And the public picks up on it right

[00:07:18,839]: And they worried what you would do

[00:07:19,940]: Well I think that’s fair

[00:07:23,239]: So the U S attorney needs Senate confirmation

[00:07:27,500]: Democrats control the Senate by a huge margin

[00:07:29,260]: Is that correct

[00:07:30,359]: Something like that yeah

[00:07:31,640]: Oh no that’s not true

[00:07:32,959]: Yeah no no that’s not quite true

[00:07:34,519]: Look I would have won on the floor but the Judiciary Committee Tillis Tom Tillis decided to block it in the Judiciary Committee

[00:07:41,500]: Democrat from California

[00:07:42,380]: Yeah well something like that yeah

[00:07:43,559]: Oh no Republican from North Carolina

[00:07:44,980]: Right right

[00:07:45,640]: So why would Tom Tillis who was elected in maybe 2012 14 something like that ish

[00:07:56,059]: But a lot of money spent on that campaign

[00:07:58,279]: A lot of Republicans mobilized to get that guy elected in a swing state even then

[00:08:03,700]: And a lot of hope presiding in Tom Tillis

[00:08:06,059]: Why would Tom Tillis be the instrument of your destruction

[00:08:09,559]: Well look I think I gotta say oh the Senate’s gotta process respect the process all that stuff right

[00:08:16,359]: So check the box I did that with him

[00:08:18,459]: So I met with the guy for 90 minutes

[00:08:22,079]: By the way for about a decade I’ve done work when Phyllis Schlafly the late Phyllis Schlafly with whom I worked one of the things she cared a lot about was patents and protecting individual patent holders and inventors

[00:08:31,859]: So for years we’ve had patent events

[00:08:34,719]: One of the participants in the patent events is Tom Tillis all the time because he’s good on that issue and we would work with him

[00:08:40,359]: So not a stranger in terms of policy stuff to me

[00:08:43,400]: So when I met with him 90 minutes he railed on J6

[00:08:49,159]: He said how could you represent J6 people

[00:08:51,799]: How stupid do people have to be to go into the Capitol and blah blah blah

[00:08:55,419]: And I said sir you know look I’ve looked at this closely

[00:08:59,039]: It feels like you’re not quite paying attention to what happened right

[00:09:02,200]: And That’s correct

[00:09:03,479]: Yeah and look here’s the thing you know Tucker this is what I mean by this is the fight we’re in this fight for the future of our country

[00:09:10,159]: Millions of Americans fall victim to the hoaxes one after another

[00:09:14,919]: And if you fall victim to the J6 hoax that it was an insurrection armed and this close to the end then you might act like Tom Tillis and you might rant and rave and say things like that

[00:09:25,659]: And that’s what he did

[00:09:26,979]: But I think if you’re not under the spell of the hoax you say oh wait a second lots of people were waved into the Capitol and maybe you could charge them with trespass but you can’t throw them in jail for three years four years three and a half years right

[00:09:40,320]: Because of and then the Supreme Court bipartisan Supreme Court throws out the charge that was used

[00:09:45,580]: It’s called the 1512 charge

[00:09:46,799]: When I got in my office as U S Attorney I said first week we’re going to look at the 1512

[00:09:51,299]: Who charged it

[00:09:52,599]: And of course it was charged by Merrick Garland and Lisa Monaco right across

[00:09:56,219]: It wasn’t the guy in my chair

[00:09:57,840]: He was an empty suit there to just you know carry water as they went out

[00:10:02,159]: It was a great DOJ directly

[00:10:03,039]: All the way up right up right up of course

[00:10:05,000]: I mean look 1512 is an Andrew Weissman creation right

[00:10:08,299]: This was Andrew Weissman advocated for 1512 charge

[00:10:12,359]: Who’s Andrew Weissman

[00:10:12,880]: In the Mueller investigation

[00:10:14,940]: Andrew Weissman’s one of these lawyers who is at NYU right now

[00:10:18,919]: He goes in and out of government and he’s basically at the center

[00:10:21,400]: There’s about six or seven of these people that are at the center of coordinating the weaponization of government against the people right now

[00:10:28,260]: And every time you turn around you know I love I’ll give it to you

[00:10:31,159]: The guy that was the prosecutor in Kosovo before Jack Smith you know a special prosecutor

[00:10:35,780]: Forget his name right now

[00:10:36,799]: He left so Jack Smith could come in

[00:10:38,859]: Where’d he go

[00:10:39,859]: One guess NYU to Andrew Weissman’s shop

[00:10:43,260]: Perfect

[00:10:43,700]: So when you watch Andrew Weissman’s at Mueller he says in Mueller we need 1512

[00:10:48,500]: We can charge Trump in the watch this

[00:10:50,820]: We can use 1512

[00:10:52,059]: We’re making it up but we can get away with it if we build it out this way and just get everybody to go along

[00:10:57,000]: He fails at that Mueller

[00:10:58,820]: You know Barr says and Jeff Jensen no Barr says you can’t do that right

[00:11:02,340]: You can’t do we’re not gonna do that shuts it down

[00:11:04,320]: And then along comes Andrew Weissman Lisa Monaco all these same people

[00:11:08,239]: They say charge the 1512

[00:11:10,679]: Tucker the 1512 charge right

[00:11:13,359]: Your viewers may not track it well enough but 1512 was an addition to the law about 20 years ago after Enron because Arthur Anderson the accounting firm was destroying documents

[00:11:26,500]: Enron was the target of the investigation

[00:11:29,299]: Arthur Anderson was destroying documents wasn’t the target

[00:11:31,460]: And there was no law to say if you knew there was an investigation you shouldn’t destroy documents

[00:11:36,239]: So they passed this law okay 1512

[00:11:38,659]: It said if you know there’s an official proceeding you’re not allowed to destroy documents okay

[00:11:43,599]: You got it

[00:11:44,580]: Yeah

[00:11:44,719]: Okay that’s it

[00:11:46,159]: All these years later Weissman is saying we’ll use obstruction of official proceeding

[00:11:53,559]: We’ll expand official proceeding

[00:11:55,520]: We’ll call it oh yeah we’ll call it the electoral college count and we’ll go after everybody

[00:11:59,900]: But first before we go for Trump let’s drag a couple of hundred people into jail

[00:12:04,140]: We’ll make them plead guilty

[00:12:05,359]: We’ll try them with a bad jury

[00:12:06,820]: We’ll make the judges roll along and we’ll make sure we put them in one after another

[00:12:10,239]: We’ll say see 1512 it’s a good charge

[00:12:13,159]: Judges went for it

[00:12:13,979]: Everybody went for it

[00:12:15,020]: And then we’ll get Trump

[00:12:15,960]: And one judge said no

[00:12:17,940]: Then it went up to the Supreme Court and the bipartisan Supreme Court said hell no and threw it all out

[00:12:22,679]: So we watched American citizens rotting in jail for years for walking through the Capitol and 1512

[00:12:29,919]: And that’s Weissman And Tillis is okay with that

[00:12:31,840]: Well Tillis is saying oh my gosh

[00:12:33,780]: He said anyone who’s dumb enough to go into the Capitol should be charged with everything under the sun

[00:12:39,020]: I said well if a cop opens the door and you walk in and you walk out you’re gonna charge him

[00:12:44,020]: And anyway so What did he say when you asked him

[00:12:46,059]: Well he said you know That’s almost what I was about to say

[00:12:50,239]: That we now have videotaped Jake Chansley for example a QAnon shaman led into the Senate chamber by a cop

[00:12:56,239]: Wanders around and then leaves and then goes to prison

[00:12:59,099]: I don’t understand

[00:13:00,700]: And I wanna be charitable to Tom Tillis who is obviously very liberal and there are things about him I don’t like but I wanna be fair but I don’t understand how he couldn’t know that

[00:13:11,320]: It was an insight into the mind of people that are trapped in that understanding

[00:13:15,440]: Like the other thing they all said to me is oh you must like people that hit cops because you defended people that hit cops

[00:13:22,820]: Who said that

[00:13:23,119]: Oh everybody the New York the Washington Post all these people because lawyers are supposed to defend you know we defend the sort of worst of the worst always that’s the system

[00:13:30,479]: For people who’ve been charged with crimes

[00:13:31,460]: Yeah exactly

[00:13:32,940]: Isn’t that the way it works

[00:13:33,960]: Isn’t that the way it works

[00:13:34,880]: But I said so I say look nobody’s for hitting cops right nobody’s for hitting cops

[00:13:39,539]: My office my predecessor did not charge cops did not charge assaults on police officers because they’re only misdemeanors in the stupid DC laws

[00:13:48,739]: And I said new law new rule touch a cop getting charged with assault right

[00:13:53,340]: So stipulate we’re all against hitting cops

[00:13:56,099]: After that what happened on January 6th forget about even the day of it watch what happens

[00:14:02,580]: Liz Cheney and Benny Thompson run a 50 million you know misinformation campaign to tell the world this is what was going on

[00:14:10,820]: And that’s what Tom Tillis is believing I guess

[00:14:14,520]: And meanwhile the rest of us But that’s like MSNBC level lying

[00:14:18,219]: It’s like transparent

[00:14:19,440]: It was an armed insurrection police officers were killed

[00:14:23,299]: None of that is true

[00:14:26,080]: Yeah right

[00:14:27,159]: And look I’m past it now except to say this the weaponization of government against the people is what we see over and over and over again

[00:14:35,859]: And when the leaders either acquiesce to it or fall for the hoax of it we see it over and over and over again

[00:14:44,580]: Whether you pick a FISA court you know we just watch this over and over

[00:14:48,760]: And you don’t have time to say was your heart in it

[00:14:52,219]: Are you lying

[00:14:53,419]: It’s just you’re willing to buy into that worldview

[00:14:55,900]: It’s destroying the country

[00:14:56,919]: Can I ask you one that I couldn’t agree more

[00:14:58,440]: Can I ask one last question

[00:14:59,719]: Did any member of the U S Senate or member of Congress suggest like how many federal agents were in the crowd that day

[00:15:08,520]: None of them seem interested in that

[00:15:10,619]: Yeah

[00:15:11,059]: That seems like a baseline question

[00:15:13,900]: Did any members of the Senate

[00:15:15,039]: I mean in my probably not in the conversations I had but you bring us to a Does anyone care

[00:15:21,359]: Well you bring us to a point where as I started this out is we’re in a fight about information right

[00:15:30,780]: And we’re told get over it and move on

[00:15:33,239]: It’s like the 2020 election

[00:15:34,679]: Yeah

[00:15:34,960]: That people say to me they say I was a stop the steal organizer

[00:15:38,200]: Well I ran the election board in St

[00:15:40,299]: Louis back in St

[00:15:41,280]: Louis

[00:15:41,380]: You know I ran the election board

[00:15:42,460]: I know how elections work

[00:15:43,419]: The 2020 election there were lots of things that were really off base

[00:15:46,440]: That’s why I’ve always said it

[00:15:47,299]: I maintain it today

[00:15:48,260]: Doesn’t mean I haven’t proved it

[00:15:49,460]: Does it mean that I’ve proven the election was stolen

[00:15:51,340]: No but I know there’s things that were off

[00:15:52,919]: Well you weren’t allowed to say that

[00:15:54,239]: Remember you’re not even allowed to say that out loud and you go forward

[00:15:57,780]: And so they say oh you were stopped to steal

[00:15:59,359]: So I said wait isn’t that the system we’re supposed to have

[00:16:02,400]: And we keep seeing information government weaponized to stop information flow

[00:16:08,940]: And most of us move on right

[00:16:11,140]: You move on to the next thing because the way the world is moving

[00:16:15,119]: And one of the things this effort to do to focus on weaponization is to get the truth out

[00:16:19,780]: So to your point we still don’t know the answer to that

[00:16:22,640]: We do not know how many agents how can we not know

[00:16:25,400]: I mean I’m gonna get it out or I’m gonna die trying

[00:16:28,559]: Pipe bomber

[00:16:29,099]: As a prosecutor I’ve got the pipe bomber case in my office

[00:16:33,799]: The FBI Bongino said to the FBI change all the agents

[00:16:37,419]: Everybody look at it again

[00:16:39,000]: It’s been going on for about five weeks

[00:16:40,940]: It’s like a Keystone cops

[00:16:43,780]: They didn’t interview some of the people that you would have said that might be a suspect

[00:16:48,520]: They hadn’t interviewed him

[00:16:49,479]: I mean so the question becomes what’s happening here

[00:16:52,760]: Is it incompetence

[00:16:54,059]: It feels worse than incompetence right

[00:16:55,960]: And so that information It does it does

[00:16:59,119]: What do you think

[00:17:00,760]: Well I think it’s worse than incompetence

[00:17:04,760]: And I think but I think the only way forward is to not describe what I think of the motives but to expose over and over again what’s happened

[00:17:13,959]: If you expose what’s happened and the truth gets out then accountability is possible

[00:17:18,599]: If you don’t expose what’s happened the accountability looks like targeting right

[00:17:22,400]: So you gotta do this one to get to this one

[00:17:24,900]: And the other side just does this

[00:17:26,540]: And then they count on the media to tell us it’s okay

[00:17:28,699]: We have to do this and this

[00:17:30,900]: And that’s my answer to some people that say what’s Dan doing Bongino

[00:17:33,900]: I talk to him every week or so

[00:17:36,060]: He’s going hammer and tongs at this stuff right here

[00:17:38,599]: You can’t arrest everybody the first month but you gotta get this going

[00:17:42,819]: And it’s a challenge but I’m glad people are holding us pushing everybody

[00:17:46,020]: It’s good but it’s harder than it looks

[00:17:48,459]: It really is

[00:17:49,660]: I believe that

[00:17:50,479]: My informed well informed sense is that DOJ is a bigger mess even than some conspiracy minded people on the outside like me imagine it is

[00:17:59,780]: Like I think it’s actually a mess

[00:18:01,060]: Is it

[00:18:01,560]: I would say that The FBI specifically

[00:18:04,319]: Yeah look I worked for the Catholic Church right

[00:18:06,800]: I worked for the Catholic Church

[00:18:07,819]: I’m pretty attuned to bureaucracies right

[00:18:10,920]: And I’ve seen the scope of them and see the institutional inertia like the momentum that they get

[00:18:17,199]: And I think my office was my US Attorney’s office was about this big Tucker and it took me 120 days to get this much of my arms wrapped around this much because this is how big it was

[00:18:30,880]: Cash’s job is this big and DOJ’s is this big and the President’s is this big

[00:18:34,599]: So my answer is the scope is bigger and it is therefore much much worse than people think

[00:18:43,140]: And I just think it’s a and by the way one of the reasons I say information is so key you can’t we can’t win the Article III battle fast enough

[00:18:54,739]: We can fight it and we can eventually win lots of them

[00:18:57,300]: You can’t win it fast enough to get the progress we need in terms of our so you’ve got to be doing the information

[00:19:03,619]: For people watching what’s the Article III battle

[00:19:05,119]: Yeah the Article III means like the federal courts

[00:19:06,420]: We’re in federal courts the President says you can’t let people come into the country and then the courts say nationwide injunction and you’re not allowed to do that

[00:19:14,439]: And you’re constantly in court

[00:19:16,540]: The US Attorney’s office for DC has all of the cases of when the government is sued the President sues they all come into our office on the civil side

[00:19:25,040]: And so you see all that stuff coming in

[00:19:26,619]: In the during the Biden administration the conservatives were suing in Texas

[00:19:31,359]: It was friendlier judges now it’s in DC

[00:19:33,380]: So you’re in the courts fighting to get the truth out fighting to make these things prosecutions and all but they take a longer time than just getting the word out right

[00:19:43,619]: Getting the information out

[00:19:44,660]: I just I feel like it’s a different moment in history

[00:19:47,239]: And that’s how I was US Attorney

[00:19:49,060]: That’s why you saw people saw so much outfacing action because I wasn’t just looking at courts I was looking at making an argument for the public so they could see the policies

[00:20:00,339]: America has thousands of colleges and universities and a lot of them unfortunately are basically just scams

[00:20:04,479]: It’s one of those things nobody really wants to talk about but everybody on some level knows that it’s true

[00:20:08,739]: What’s an impressive college in 2025

[00:20:11,760]: There aren’t many at all

[00:20:13,380]: Hillsdale is one of them

[00:20:14,699]: It is the exception

[00:20:15,839]: They cut straight through the woke garbage

[00:20:17,640]: They give their students a real education an actual education

[00:20:21,500]: Meet a Hillsdale student and ask yourself is this the best educated 22 year old I’ve met in a long time

[00:20:25,359]: Yeah because they don’t have propaganda in their education

[00:20:28,439]: Just the truth facts history English math

[00:20:32,079]: If you think it sounds good because it is good think of this Hillsdale is offering over 40 free online courses you can enroll in today

[00:20:39,400]: There’s no catch at all

[00:20:40,479]: You don’t have to pay anything

[00:20:41,900]: Not gonna hit you up for anything it’s free

[00:20:43,780]: You can learn about the constitution the Bible the basis of Western civilization Rome’s rise and fall early Christian church things that actually matter not one dime free

[00:20:54,550]: They have a new class called Understanding Capitalism that teaches Americans basic economic ideas describes our own system a system that is falling apart

[00:21:04,839]: A lot of people want you to hate but for 250 years has been the best and most productive in the world

[00:21:09,900]: You’ll understand the basis of our economy from founding till president

[00:21:15,435]: Hillsdale not afraid to preach the message our country has forgotten which is freedom is good Christianity is good markets are good and they make this country better by raising well educated students

[00:21:29,735]: We endorse this

[00:21:30,875]: As a college hater I love Hillsdale

[00:21:33,415]: Go to tuckerforhillsdale com to sign up for Understanding Capitalism today the course Understanding Capitalism zero cost just the truth

[00:21:40,955]: That’s tuckerforhillsdale com to enroll for free

[00:21:44,475]: Can you go back and I’m sorry I’ve gone far afield as usual with me but so you have to be you’re nominated by the president to be U S attorney in D C it has to go through the Senate

[00:21:58,195]: You offend Chuck Schumer by asking inconvenient questions

[00:22:02,475]: He sends out the word destroy this man that process begins

[00:22:06,155]: And then in the end it was Tom Tillis because the Republican joking aside party does control the Senate supposedly who killed it

[00:22:16,915]: How do you account for that

[00:22:20,815]: This is like a central job for those who are not paying attention

[00:22:24,235]: This is like if you’re going to drain the swamp if you’re going to end the weaponization of the legal system if you’re going to make good on all the promises the president made while campaigning you need to fill this job with a capable person

[00:22:35,715]: And Tom Tillis winds up torpedoing you

[00:22:38,675]: Well I worked for Phyllis Schlafly right

[00:22:41,495]: And so when she wrote A Choice Not an Echo in 1964 and all the way through her career and then the last 10 years of her life when I worked with her you come to know about the party right

[00:22:51,095]: The Republican Party is probably more problematic in certain ways than the Democrat Party is obvious opponents right

[00:23:00,315]: So when Phyllis writes about 1964 what they did to Goldwater at that fight or she writes in she wrote about 1980 when they forced H W

[00:23:10,195]: Bush on Reagan I mean she wrote about but she also wrote about by the way about the Bilderbergs

[00:23:14,155]: She’s the first one to use the word Bilderbergs about the globalists when they were meeting

[00:23:17,935]: But Phyllis would say and taught look she backed Trump early

[00:23:24,615]: And it basically well it caused a rift in her family

[00:23:28,675]: One of her children was a cruise person was against her caused a rift in her organization

[00:23:33,495]: And I remember asking her I’m like kind of seriously is this worth it

[00:23:36,795]: And she said of course it’s worth it

[00:23:37,955]: She said you know this is and so that was on our side

[00:23:40,235]: That was on the sort of conservative side

[00:23:42,515]: So I’m not surprised by any of it

[00:23:44,155]: I was on the RNC when they did the autopsy remember

[00:23:47,415]: You know Romney loses and they spend nine or 10 million and the same people got paid go back and look who got paid 9 million for the autopsy on the Republican Party

[00:23:56,795]: And it said speak in Spanish and don’t talk about social issues and we’re just going to win everything

[00:24:01,855]: And they made the mistake

[00:24:03,555]: They asked me microphone in my first meeting of the RNC what do you think of that

[00:24:07,475]: And I said what do you think of your report

[00:24:08,915]: And I said it’s not my report

[00:24:10,115]: I didn’t go for that

[00:24:11,555]: That’s crazy

[00:24:11,975]: Then we’ll lose every election

[00:24:13,555]: So the Republican Party has always been that way

[00:24:15,755]: It’s just better than the other one

[00:24:17,415]: And the question is right now

[00:24:19,175]: Well it’s better in some way

[00:24:19,995]: I mean I’ve never you know I don’t vote Democrats because I’m pro life so I’m not going to vote for pro choice period

[00:24:24,035]: So that’s right

[00:24:25,375]: And I think there are a lot of Republican voters who feel that way right

[00:24:28,435]: So the Democratic Party is off the table for me but I’m not sure the Republican Party is better because I think it’s more deceptive

[00:24:36,175]: Democratic Party is like yeah we’re the tranny illegal alien party

[00:24:38,795]: OK that’s who you are

[00:24:40,415]: I find that repugnant

[00:24:41,895]: But the Republican Party tells you they’re one thing but they’re actually another thing

[00:24:46,455]: That’s what bothers me

[00:24:47,715]: Well no I thought yeah well it’s the same thing Phyllis talked about you know back in the day

[00:24:51,415]: It was the establishment on the Eastern establishment Eastern elites who were trying to control the party and did a lot

[00:24:56,335]: Look right now it’s Trump’s party

[00:24:57,375]: It’s just that some of the elites don’t want to let go

[00:24:59,995]: And so the question is will they be able to hold on

[00:25:02,415]: And when you heard the president say he didn’t say Ed wouldn’t get confirmed he said that’s not worth the fight right now

[00:25:08,315]: We got other things to do

[00:25:09,435]: And you know we knew we knew we’d get somebody good in that spot to your point

[00:25:12,855]: And we knew there’s a place for me to play a role

[00:25:15,495]: So you know I but the Republican Party is Trump’s party

[00:25:19,135]: It’s just some people aren’t ready for it

[00:25:20,815]: So it’s really it’s not left versus right moderate versus conservative populist versus globalist

[00:25:26,375]: It’s really reform versus corrupt

[00:25:28,415]: I mean I think there’s massive corruption in the U S government in our system

[00:25:32,315]: Yeah

[00:25:32,675]: More broadly Trump was elected on the promise of cleaning it up

[00:25:36,055]: You were his instrument to do that

[00:25:38,255]: So I think it’s fair to say people who oppose that are against reform

[00:25:42,455]: Well if I can I’d say two things about it

[00:25:44,675]: One thing I think as you’ve talked about before in lots of issues President Trump represents a different view of America first is the way it’s characterized by this notion of of believing in ourselves our citizens more than other things including wars and globalists

[00:25:59,635]: And I think that I think that’s a big pivot

[00:26:01,455]: And people feel that as voters obviously did

[00:26:04,315]: But I will agree with you on this

[00:26:06,275]: The corruption is not one party

[00:26:07,715]: I mean trust me I’m the prosecutor

[00:26:09,575]: Oh I know it’s not one party

[00:26:10,435]: You know that

[00:26:11,055]: But your viewers it’s not one party

[00:26:13,075]: When you see six point seven billion dollars transferred from the EPA to an organization set up a year before set up by the same leftists left leaning Democrats supporting folks that ran the housing tax credit boondoggle from the 90s it’s the same people six point seven billion

[00:26:31,895]: When you see that transfer of money it’s this is this is not one party

[00:26:35,935]: Both parties are at the trough

[00:26:37,755]: And the question is who gives us the best chance to try to take to take this country back and to fight for it

[00:26:43,855]: And it’s it’s clearly been Trump

[00:26:45,315]: But it’s an everyday battle

[00:26:47,135]: And what are the Republican senators opposed to your nomination

[00:26:50,475]: Well it’s funny

[00:26:51,335]: As soon as Tillis blocked it then a guy like Senator Cornyn said I’m for him you know we weren’t sure until then

[00:26:59,675]: And then I think Collins said I’m looking at it I’m thinking about it

[00:27:02,755]: So I will say that all of the Collins says she was thinking well we know that’s not Well actually I had an issue up here

[00:27:09,775]: You know the U S attorney has so much interesting role for D C the D C attorney

[00:27:15,055]: I went to the D A and I said hey guys what are we not doing

[00:27:18,335]: I would go all these law enforcement

[00:27:19,575]: I say what is that

[00:27:20,495]: What is somebody not doing that I could do to help you guys

[00:27:22,615]: And the D A

[00:27:23,375]: guy said we had all these marijuana farms in Chinese drug cartels in Maine

[00:27:27,555]: And so they said we can’t get under control

[00:27:29,575]: And the U S attorney up there won’t do anything

[00:27:31,115]: And I said I’ll take it

[00:27:32,075]: I’ll take the cases

[00:27:32,715]: Let’s figure it out

[00:27:33,435]: So I wrote a letter to the Maine governor and I said what are you doing about these pot farms

[00:27:38,175]: So the Chinese are running

[00:27:39,155]: You know we got to take a look at this because you know it’s impacting what’s going on

[00:27:42,475]: And so nothing’s progressed yet

[00:27:44,315]: But Governor Mills had some milquetoast response about something but now we’re looking into it

[00:27:49,515]: Yeah

[00:27:49,655]: But I mean you know when you look close it’s a disaster

[00:27:52,715]: And she and her administration is really not just looking the other way

[00:27:56,595]: They’re allowing chaos in this state

[00:27:59,475]: Her brother is benefiting

[00:28:00,615]: Right

[00:28:00,815]: Yeah

[00:28:01,035]: It’s probably the most corrupt state outside of New Jersey out of 50

[00:28:06,295]: So but were there any other senators who went on the record

[00:28:09,355]: No no

[00:28:09,795]: They were doing a dance

[00:28:10,795]: Look I mean McConnell is in fact McConnell’s staff was talking to me about pitching him on that because they weren’t a no a hard no at the beginning

[00:28:19,095]: But at that level in that process they’re all playing a game right until they have to look

[00:28:24,455]: Senator Hawley

[00:28:25,175]: I’m from Missouri

[00:28:26,075]: Senator Hawley said if you get to the floor you’ll you’ll you’ll definitely get the vote

[00:28:30,315]: They’re afraid to vote against you

[00:28:31,475]: Right

[00:28:31,595]: And but he said they’re going to be all kinds of machinations beforehand

[00:28:35,315]: So to your point I don’t know if Tillis was Senator Tillis was taking one for the team if he was you know killing me to help other people or what

[00:28:43,675]: But he was the obvious one that decided you know what do you think the real issue was

[00:28:49,555]: Why wouldn’t Republican senators form a you know a blue line in support of you

[00:28:54,695]: Like what what was it that made them you know 9 11

[00:28:59,875]: 9 11 you said

[00:29:00,555]: I mean rather 9 11

[00:29:02,195]: January 6

[00:29:02,355]: January 6

[00:29:03,415]: I would say that a number of times it was clear that I was not going to be sort of controllable that I was going to do exactly what I thought and what the president let me lose to do

[00:29:18,515]: And I think that that’s for the for the you know the sort of ruling class

[00:29:24,175]: That’s the wildest of wild cards

[00:29:25,835]: And so a prosecutor who’s willing to do that not controlled by corrupt interests

[00:29:32,055]: Yeah that’s the scariest thing there is

[00:29:33,555]: Right

[00:29:33,895]: So you know yeah but I don’t really know

[00:29:36,895]: I mean I you know I would have bet that I would have gotten through because President Trump wanted me

[00:29:41,135]: Yeah

[00:29:41,675]: So you know it’s hard to know

[00:29:44,975]: I thought some of the other guys that got confirmed had a lot more checkered past but I don’t know

[00:29:49,415]: But it’s not about that

[00:29:50,635]: Of course it’s it’s never the liars who get in trouble

[00:29:53,535]: It’s the truth tellers who are the threat

[00:29:54,935]: Of course

[00:29:56,095]: Maybe

[00:29:56,955]: For sure

[00:29:57,375]: Okay

[00:29:57,715]: I don’t know

[00:29:58,955]: For sure

[00:29:59,455]: They don’t care if you lie

[00:30:01,295]: They lie

[00:30:02,395]: They love lies

[00:30:04,595]: Their father is the father of lies

[00:30:07,795]: But you are staying on in the administration

[00:30:11,375]: Yes

[00:30:11,815]: I mean it’s I hate to say I got a promotion

[00:30:14,295]: I don’t want to be too Pollyannish but I kind of got a promotion

[00:30:16,655]: I mean yes

[00:30:17,275]: A U S attorney’s office to be clear it’s it’s the greatest prosecutor’s office in the world really

[00:30:22,255]: It’s got all of the city level crime

[00:30:25,295]: It’s like a D A

[00:30:25,895]: It’s a great D A

[00:30:26,855]: office and then a huge U S attorney’s office with cases all over the world and all sorts of complicated interesting stuff and a huge docket

[00:30:33,375]: I can get to all USAID

[00:30:35,655]: All the USAID falls within us

[00:30:37,275]: So when you see the fraud that’s going on in Europe and this is all stuff that the U S attorney and trust me the U S attorney is already looking at it

[00:30:44,875]: And you can look at this stuff and say because of the jurisdiction

[00:30:47,595]: So but it’s a big office with a lot of bureaucracy

[00:30:50,515]: And so what I basically my new job is focused on weaponization

[00:30:54,735]: The docket is the whole world and the country to say where have they done wrong and how do we go and get to the bottom of it

[00:31:01,115]: And so look I’m the president

[00:31:03,255]: It’s a key moment

[00:31:04,035]: It’s a key moment

[00:31:04,735]: The president trusts me to do this

[00:31:07,495]: And so and Pam Bondi has been great about directing us on this

[00:31:11,515]: So I’m excited to go over there and and fight

[00:31:14,455]: It’s amazing that someone in D C So anyone who lives in D C knows that the city is mismanaged by Muriel Bowser the mayor

[00:31:21,995]: But it’s also kind of falling apart

[00:31:23,715]: The real estate market has collapsed because of covid but also because of crime

[00:31:26,495]: And like they need law enforcement in D C and they don’t really have it

[00:31:30,735]: And yet this one was so mad at you that she spit spit on you

[00:31:35,695]: It just tells you the power of the propaganda that Schumer unleashed

[00:31:39,755]: That’s right

[00:31:40,355]: Well I want to brag for a minute

[00:31:42,375]: We shifted a lot of our resources to fight crime

[00:31:45,355]: You know you know this but seven hundred and twenty thousand people live in D C Yeah

[00:31:49,295]: Six hundred and fifty thousand live in poverty and a tough set for sure

[00:31:53,275]: And frankly they’ve been getting they’ve been getting stuck by both parties forever

[00:31:57,515]: Right

[00:31:57,955]: So you walk down the street in Anacostia and you’re like I want to do an interview in Anacostia

[00:32:03,055]: And we pulled up and there’s an ambulance and all

[00:32:05,255]: And I said what is that

[00:32:05,835]: And I said somebody was shot

[00:32:06,895]: They’re laying there

[00:32:07,595]: And we went in to do the interview

[00:32:08,915]: It was like oh yeah

[00:32:09,655]: So he’s not going to die

[00:32:10,395]: He’s going to be fine

[00:32:10,995]: And so what we did was we turned all of our resources on that side to getting rid of the guys with guns the bad guys with guns

[00:32:18,575]: And we dragged him to federal court

[00:32:20,215]: Now that sounds like it’s not that revolutionary but you start to get in March

[00:32:24,715]: We got 18 in April 24 arrested arrested with guns and off the streets for seven hundred thousand people

[00:32:31,455]: What they mostly need to know is somebody is trying to help them make it better

[00:32:34,895]: Right

[00:32:35,255]: And trying to make life better

[00:32:36,795]: And crime is down 25 percent

[00:32:38,895]: And the basics are going the right direction

[00:32:41,435]: But no that’s that woman screeching at me and spitting on me was that’s a fruit of the environment that says make anyone who’s doing something important into someone toxic and will get people to be agitated

[00:32:54,435]: And it works

[00:32:55,455]: It works

[00:32:55,895]: Oh it works completely

[00:32:57,815]: The only problem is our side meaning I think God fearing Americans need to understand

[00:33:01,695]: I just told you we’ve got to get the truth out

[00:33:03,815]: You can’t sit back and say we’re right

[00:33:05,675]: That doesn’t matter

[00:33:06,655]: No

[00:33:06,875]: Your neighbor is still being inundated by The Washington Post

[00:33:09,915]: Right

[00:33:10,255]: They’re still being told by The Washington Post that somehow it’s problematic that I was on RT

[00:33:17,135]: I did interviews on RT and that oh this is the end of the world

[00:33:20,495]: Well I mean Swalwell’s got it

[00:33:22,135]: You went on RT

[00:33:23,695]: I did interviews on RT

[00:33:24,635]: Did you have a did you have sex with a Chinese communist spy

[00:33:28,295]: I’m just going to say no I did not

[00:33:30,275]: I mean I wanted to make sure I started asking personal questions

[00:33:33,475]: I want to make clear that

[00:33:34,135]: So but my point is I loved RT

[00:33:35,835]: RT was a great channel

[00:33:36,615]: I didn’t agree with everything but I don’t know

[00:33:38,755]: I’ve only been told

[00:33:39,955]: Going on RT

[00:33:40,695]: Or did you

[00:33:41,395]: Were you the news director

[00:33:42,135]: You were just a guest

[00:33:42,815]: I’ve only been told what to say on one network and that was the communist CNN

[00:33:46,975]: They told me I had to say that otherwise

[00:33:49,915]: So but my point is to your point we can’t rely on the truth

[00:33:57,675]: We are right

[00:33:59,135]: We have to though

[00:34:00,075]: And this is where I think there’s responsibility in government

[00:34:01,955]: We have to expose the truth

[00:34:03,715]: We have to expose it

[00:34:05,235]: And if they’re not shamed at least Andrew Weissman can hear his name

[00:34:08,335]: Andrew Weissman is truly one of the most despicable figures in modern American life

[00:34:13,255]: Mary McCord Georgetown University I got in a fight with Georgetown

[00:34:15,855]: You know Georgetown University’s mad at me

[00:34:17,775]: Filthy filthy organization

[00:34:19,275]: I wrote Georgetown Law and I said to the dean we’re not going to hire your people either for jobs or internships because you’re doing DEI after the president said stop

[00:34:28,335]: He wrote back and lectured me on Jesuit ideals Jesuit ideals and freedom

[00:34:32,995]: Now he went to Yale and Harvard

[00:34:34,195]: I don’t think those are religious but I went to you know Holy Cross slightly Jesuit the whole time St

[00:34:39,895]: Louis U Jesuit on and on and on

[00:34:41,675]: And he lectured me

[00:34:42,515]: But here’s what here’s what happened quickly

[00:34:44,455]: Was he a Jesuit

[00:34:45,295]: No no of course not

[00:34:46,155]: He’s not even Catholic

[00:34:47,415]: Well maybe he’s Catholic

[00:34:48,195]: I don’t know

[00:34:48,495]: But he’s lecturing me

[00:34:49,435]: And bar complaints are coming in from people saying Georgetown is great

[00:34:53,155]: All I’m saying is this

[00:34:54,675]: Georgetown’s disgusting

[00:34:56,035]: Well sorry

[00:34:57,115]: But more importantly you talk about weaponizing government

[00:35:00,495]: You got this Rosa Brooks Mary McCord

[00:35:03,595]: These are the people coming out of Obamaland and they’re taking the transition integrity project

[00:35:08,375]: Remember this

[00:35:09,235]: The transition integrity project

[00:35:10,795]: And they’re saying how would we do an American color revolution right

[00:35:15,215]: How would we do that

[00:35:15,975]: And they’re laying it out

[00:35:16,815]: Remember game planning

[00:35:17,615]: They were doing this tabletop and they’re looking at and participating are all kinds of Americans with security clearances and you know military background and terrifying

[00:35:28,035]: And we’re supposed to sit here and say oh isn’t this great

[00:35:30,415]: You guys do all of that

[00:35:31,495]: And we say nothing

[00:35:32,195]: And meanwhile you get hundreds of millions of dollars in American tax dollars to do it to us

[00:35:36,015]: So I asked them a question

[00:35:37,695]: They got upset

[00:35:38,215]: But the point here is in Rosa

[00:35:40,295]: I know Rosa Brooks well

[00:35:42,555]: She did that out of Georgetown

[00:35:44,215]: Of course

[00:35:44,575]: That’s what I’m saying

[00:35:45,415]: It’s an institute

[00:35:46,215]: Still she’s still the Georgetown is

[00:35:49,475]: I mean it’s had really unhealthy relationships with the U S government for many many decades

[00:35:55,615]: I mean the CIA small arms training facility was on their campus

[00:35:59,375]: I know that for a fact

[00:36:00,295]: I just want to train there like they have been

[00:36:03,055]: Georgetown is one of those things

[00:36:03,955]: It’s not a private institution

[00:36:05,675]: It’s an arm of the deepest of the deep state

[00:36:08,875]: And like they’re scary and they’re supported by U S tax dollars

[00:36:12,135]: Like it’s not it’s not a college like you want your kid to go to Georgetown

[00:36:15,575]: Oh it goes to Georgetown

[00:36:16,575]: Go Hoyas

[00:36:18,015]: It’s way more than that

[00:36:19,615]: People just have no idea

[00:36:21,335]: Well and my point to you is I agree

[00:36:24,255]: And we have to name it

[00:36:25,635]: Yes

[00:36:26,075]: It’s not enough to us to know

[00:36:27,375]: We have to say Mary McCord and Rosa Brooks at Georgetown Law

[00:36:32,025]: What they’re doing is destructive to the country and people should know it

[00:36:35,375]: They’re planning insurrection actually

[00:36:38,115]: They speak of it

[00:36:38,655]: I know

[00:36:39,155]: Using U S tax dollars and all these you know nice sort of well meaning Irish Catholic alums around the country who like don’t agree with anything that Rosa Brooks says are sending the money and sending their kids there because the veneer the skin suit still lives

[00:36:55,395]: Georgetown

[00:36:55,955]: Georgetown

[00:36:56,595]: Oh you can’t

[00:36:57,435]: I went to Georgetown

[00:36:58,075]: OK

[00:36:58,715]: Yeah

[00:36:59,115]: It’s the fakest place in the United States

[00:37:00,995]: Way worse than Harvard actually

[00:37:02,215]: I think

[00:37:03,075]: Right

[00:37:03,275]: Sorry

[00:37:04,135]: But fake would be bad enough

[00:37:06,095]: Yes

[00:37:06,595]: Destructive

[00:37:07,375]: It’s sinister

[00:37:07,855]: Oh I agree

[00:37:09,035]: And again until you until we have the if you think it’s a debate if it’s a debating moment then you’re in one spot

[00:37:15,255]: If you think it’s a battle for the future of the country and the world then you’re in a different moment

[00:37:19,255]: And that’s how I look at what we’re what we’re seeing going on

[00:37:22,995]: And that’s why I think some people probably realized he knows how this goes a little more

[00:37:27,415]: And so they didn’t want me in that spot

[00:37:29,635]: But I got another spot so it’ll work out

[00:37:33,095]: It’s just so revealing

[00:37:34,735]: I’ll just say it one last time because I can’t control myself that you were torpedoed by supposedly conservative Republicans

[00:37:40,055]: I give a speech on Tom Tillis’s behalf when he ran for the first time for Senate

[00:37:44,735]: And I sort of think that like you’re getting one thing but almost 100 percent of the time the person winds up to be John Cornyn or you know like a super aggressive liberal posing as a conservative Republican

[00:37:56,995]: It’s so weird

[00:37:58,015]: Do you understand the mindset there

[00:38:00,795]: No I you know my my wife who’s like you smarter than me

[00:38:05,175]: And so she said the other day why can’t we go back to term limits

[00:38:08,775]: You know I mean it’s this instinct of there’s something there’s something about when they’re in and for a while they seem to have figured out for they think they figured out what’s better for everyone

[00:38:16,715]: I don’t really know

[00:38:17,535]: I mean look one of the problems I hate is I know you do is just tell me the truth to my face

[00:38:21,795]: If this is what you’re doing

[00:38:23,035]: Well that’s what I respect about Tillis at least he lectured you in private

[00:38:25,715]: That’s right

[00:38:26,115]: He did

[00:38:26,595]: And he unloaded on me in private

[00:38:28,635]: Well good

[00:38:28,855]: I mean good

[00:38:29,375]: I mean yeah I disagree

[00:38:30,975]: I think a lot of things I’ve already expressed them but I admire that

[00:38:34,095]: Yeah

[00:38:34,495]: So

[00:38:35,315]: But I don’t know what gets the the

[00:38:38,375]: Well I do know the system is so powerful and so so alluring and seductive that after a while you know I think it’s inevitable that even good people are are tempted to a worldview that’s not as good even if they’re not tempted to pure straight on corruption

[00:38:54,615]: So it is a problem

[00:38:56,355]: There’s just so much money

[00:38:57,895]: That’s right

[00:38:58,295]: That’s it

[00:38:58,775]: It’s not power

[00:38:59,395]: Right

[00:38:59,555]: It’s money

[00:38:59,915]: It’s all money

[00:39:00,475]: It’s money

[00:39:00,975]: That’s exactly right

[00:39:04,735]: So just quickly I mean I’m interested as a former resident longtime resident about the city of Washington over which you would have had jurisdiction as a chief law enforcement officer because it’s not a state but it’s a federal zone

[00:39:16,595]: It’s super complicated set up in D C

[00:39:20,175]: But what were you starting to do to make the city safer and more orderly and what needs to be done

[00:39:26,495]: Well it’s really important

[00:39:28,095]: And I hope I was actually nobody cares because the majority black city by the way it’s like all the liberals who are like I love black people

[00:39:34,195]: They just don’t care

[00:39:35,195]: Yeah they don’t seem to

[00:39:36,115]: I agree with you

[00:39:36,575]: They don’t

[00:39:37,275]: All right

[00:39:37,715]: So there’s a couple of things

[00:39:38,995]: One is and I was just telling Judge Jeanine Pirro

[00:39:41,835]: She’s really she’s really kind of I should have said the headline which is yeah she’s kind of into it

[00:39:45,955]: She’s kind of she’s really into it

[00:39:47,095]: And she’s asking me all these questions

[00:39:48,235]: And I’m thinking ah she was she’s the nominee

[00:39:50,415]: Now yeah she’s going to be well she’s going to come in and serve like I did

[00:39:52,595]: She’s going to serve right away

[00:39:53,675]: So she’s not waiting

[00:39:55,035]: And and that’s very cool

[00:39:56,195]: But I’m a fan of that because why have this you know inter

[00:40:00,495]: So D C is awesome

[00:40:02,075]: I mean it’s awesome places you know history on every corner you know the background of everybody

[00:40:06,535]: I did these ride alongs with detectives and I’d still go every corner of the place and you see all these different things and and and the people people are people right

[00:40:13,675]: Of course they want what they want more for their kids and more for themselves

[00:40:17,695]: And I lived I’m from St Louis and in St

[00:40:20,115]: Louis always lived in the city itself

[00:40:22,195]: And it feels the same way

[00:40:24,215]: A couple of things

[00:40:24,775]: One is the violent crime right

[00:40:26,375]: The guns are because Virginia’s hard on guns and Maryland and and D C are soft

[00:40:32,755]: Then you can get away with having guns misuse of guns misuse of guns right

[00:40:36,295]: So all sorts of people with all sorts of guns

[00:40:38,355]: Can I ask though just so D C and Maryland have a lot of gun control

[00:40:44,455]: Correct

[00:40:44,915]: But when criminals use guns they get more tolerance

[00:40:48,195]: Of course Virginia has less gun control but is tougher on the illegal

[00:40:51,715]: What is that

[00:40:52,355]: Well I mean that’s that’s that’s that’s the whole thing right

[00:40:55,335]: That’s the that’s the game

[00:40:56,615]: You can barely get your concealed carry in D C

[00:40:58,955]: It takes months and months

[00:41:00,355]: I got one

[00:41:01,035]: I know it takes forever though

[00:41:02,255]: You probably I brought somebody in the other day

[00:41:04,295]: I said tell me how the concealed carry process is going

[00:41:06,055]: And they said it takes six months to get an appointment to even get your stuff

[00:41:09,895]: So I can get you on a video

[00:41:11,355]: Can I say one thing about D C

[00:41:12,815]: Which is why it’s a great city

[00:41:13,895]: When you live in D C I was there most of my life

[00:41:16,195]: You’re mad because it’s so inefficient

[00:41:17,815]: It’s totally third world in the way it’s run

[00:41:19,635]: And then you finally realize like wait a second if I just play along

[00:41:23,395]: Grease a palm or two call the right people show respect you know Mr and Mrs

[00:41:27,715]: always

[00:41:28,435]: Stuff like that like life is easy in D C Yeah well

[00:41:31,695]: It’s like living Not for normal but not for regular people

[00:41:33,995]: No but like for people no it’s not even about it’s like you know like why would I my kids don’t have driver’s licenses

[00:41:40,895]: So I could go through the whole rigmarole or I could just pay someone 400 bucks to get them a driver’s license and you can boom get a driver’s license

[00:41:46,735]: All right well that’s good

[00:41:47,935]: Okay I don’t know what to say to that except It’s so corrupt

[00:41:50,775]: Let me go back to what they need

[00:41:52,835]: They need to stay focused on the violence right

[00:41:56,575]: So the violence is guns and you know look cash has given us support to try to do some cold case stuff

[00:42:03,015]: The FBI has the ability to do more DNA testing to try to get you know a lot of cold case stuff is DNA and if you can go back and look at stuff rapes especially and you can do so there’s lots you can do

[00:42:13,855]: So there was a DNC employee shot to death in 2016 in Washington but not robbed and we’re not like allowed to talk about it or even mention his name so I won’t mention his name but people I know who worked at the DNC one person at the time believed that it was a political killing that he was murdered for political reasons

[00:42:32,915]: Will that case be looked at do you think

[00:42:34,455]: Well I got briefed on it it’s now a while ago time wise but there’s not a statute of limitations on it but it’s cold to your point it’s a cold case there’s not You think there’s any evidence that that was an assassination not a robbery

[00:42:48,455]: Well there’s evidence that it was a killing in such a way that yeah I mean that you could say you can’t know sort of why the killing happened right

[00:42:55,155]: It was weird right

[00:42:55,915]: It was weird yeah

[00:42:56,855]: So that guy was killed in D C but MPD was taken off the case and FBI took over why

[00:43:04,695]: I don’t know the answer it’s a good question

[00:43:07,015]: Kind of weird though right

[00:43:07,755]: Like how many days do I have left on the job

[00:43:09,275]: I’ll go find out I’ll see if I can find out

[00:43:11,355]: Sorry sorry sorry

[00:43:12,395]: Things I should have asked

[00:43:14,095]: Yeah

[00:43:14,155]: But the one I want to tell you about this is important because you’re going to see it nationwide this summer and that’s the problem with juveniles

[00:43:19,515]: In all these cities where you have Democrats and liberals in charge they’re soft on juveniles

[00:43:24,975]: So the juveniles get away with crimes and tougher and tougher harder and harder crimes

[00:43:29,715]: Carjackings

[00:43:30,735]: Carjackings you know and worse

[00:43:32,915]: And so if that’s the system it’s happened over and over now and of course the community that they are in has a lot of you know the schools are bad there are not a lot of role models right

[00:43:42,595]: Life is not in a good spot and you churn this

[00:43:44,515]: You’ve got this situation

[00:43:45,755]: I said to someone there was an incident down at the Navy Pier Navy Yard where someone was a bunch of kids juveniles come in these gangs and they steal wallets and they get around people

[00:43:55,875]: And I said to a friend of mine he said oh yeah the Navy Pier is like that

[00:43:58,515]: And I said what are you talking about

[00:43:59,255]: It’s Navy Yard

[00:43:59,975]: He said the same thing happens in Chicago

[00:44:01,575]: In other words every urban city has this problem of juveniles

[00:44:04,515]: And the reason why is because we continue to send them back and to keep them in this system that’s just so broken

[00:44:10,115]: But you can’t shoot them when they come up to you and do this to you

[00:44:12,015]: No no of course

[00:44:12,575]: That’s right exactly

[00:44:13,375]: No it’s a disaster

[00:44:14,675]: You can’t defend yourself

[00:44:15,575]: Right it’s a disaster

[00:44:16,375]: But I think one of the things that that juvenile question is one that D C has to face because it’s really and the older kids if they were girls they’d be calling it trafficking because the older boys are trafficking the younger boys because they know they won’t get into trouble the same way because they’re underage

[00:44:32,035]: So that part of it is a disaster and that falls right on the D C City Council and the mayor and the current administration there that hasn’t taken it seriously because you just need to lock them up and you need to get them out of D C Put them in someplace

[00:44:46,815]: You could pay to put them in another reform school or whatever to get them out of town

[00:44:50,675]: Instead they let them loose

[00:44:52,735]: They don’t detain them

[00:44:53,295]: Congress could fix that in a day

[00:44:54,955]: It could

[00:44:55,515]: Because they have constitutional authority over the district

[00:44:58,255]: If they wanted to

[00:44:59,015]: And Newt for whatever you think of Newt Gingrich when he took over in 94 he took over D C and made it a much better city and created this massive renaissance

[00:45:06,095]: Right

[00:45:06,495]: That’s right

[00:45:07,035]: Why do you think they don’t

[00:45:08,135]: I like I mean you’re asking too many questions about the Republican Party

[00:45:12,235]: I mean you’re right

[00:45:13,395]: And the president I think is frustrated by the dynamic

[00:45:16,515]: I think he wishes that there was more action in terms of taking it over

[00:45:19,595]: But that’s not been a priority

[00:45:22,095]: No I mean I think it’s fair

[00:45:24,455]: I mean there are a lot of things going on

[00:45:25,855]: Yeah

[00:45:26,475]: I wish they would do that

[00:45:27,415]: You probably heard about Eight Sleep

[00:45:30,675]: Lots of people are talking about it

[00:45:31,915]: It is a company with one mission improving your sleep

[00:46:48,115]: 8sleep com

[00:46:48,995]: slash Tucker

[00:46:50,635]: Can I just press you a little bit on the question I asked before

[00:46:52,755]: Because I think it’s interesting

[00:46:54,935]: So people who are for gun control tell us that guns are dangerous and bad

[00:46:59,675]: And I disagree

[00:47:00,775]: I think guns are a tool

[00:47:01,875]: They can be misused whatever like a chainsaw or a steak knife

[00:47:05,395]: But those exact same people don’t seem as concerned when guns are used in crimes

[00:47:13,135]: They’re only concerned when guns are like under your bed or in your gun safe

[00:47:17,635]: They’re concerned when law abiding people have guns not when criminals have guns

[00:47:21,575]: What is that

[00:47:23,195]: Well I mean part of me wants to engage in some philosophical argument with you about what they think

[00:47:31,335]: But I mostly think it’s what you said earlier

[00:47:33,615]: So this is a trend that you noticed

[00:47:34,975]: Yeah they don’t really care about these people

[00:47:36,695]: I mean I’m the Republican

[00:47:38,175]: I’m the conservative

[00:47:38,855]: I’m supposed to not care

[00:47:39,995]: They say you don’t care about these people

[00:47:41,935]: When I get in this job I look at it and say poor people mostly black and brown are living through hell because of the policies that you have which is to let bad guys go with guns

[00:47:52,075]: Because you and I both would agree if you do something with a gun badly then you should be incarcerated

[00:47:58,175]: Definitely

[00:47:59,275]: Because guns can kill you quickly

[00:48:01,795]: I wish I could say it was a philosophical thing

[00:48:03,955]: It’s that they really don’t care about these people

[00:48:06,575]: They don’t mind letting the people suffer and letting their communities get destroyed

[00:48:11,755]: And the rest of it is just window dressing

[00:48:13,995]: There’s no other – trying to read people’s minds it doesn’t work

[00:48:17,195]: D C is the only significant city that Republicans could really run through the Congress and through the U S Attorney’s job

[00:48:23,675]: So I feel like the only shot the city has at reform and in the last 50 years since it’s had a home rule the only time it’s gotten better is when Republicans take control

[00:48:33,695]: And so I’d just like you to fill out a little bit like what – now you’re leaving but what do you think should happen from the U S Attorney’s office in D C

[00:48:39,935]: In D C

[00:48:40,455]: Well we started on guns

[00:48:41,955]: Yeah

[00:48:42,135]: And then we’re going to switch – keeps moving towards other violent crime

[00:48:45,675]: Now the key pivot in this – again it’s down in the weeds a little bit – is to take these gun crimes and then down to rape and assault and go down even to property crimes

[00:48:53,735]: Because you can’t have CVS have everything behind lock and key right

[00:48:56,875]: But the two things that we’re doing is dragging these cases to federal court because the local court is so bad

[00:49:02,795]: The juries are bad the judges are bad the system is bad

[00:49:05,035]: So you get them to federal court you’ve got a better chance to have real penalties and a bit more stability

[00:49:09,235]: But the problem really is going to be whether you can have the will of the judges to hold these people to the laws right and to put them away

[00:49:17,855]: But you move along that continuum every single day in terms of addressing crime

[00:49:22,515]: The last thing I’d say is that a lot of talk about money

[00:49:25,435]: You know the mayor wants to build a stadium and all these things

[00:49:28,355]: Well they need more cops

[00:49:29,695]: And cops cost money

[00:49:30,755]: But cops also require that you be on their side right

[00:49:33,275]: Remember when we were kids being an FBI agent was a big deal

[00:49:36,175]: Oh yeah

[00:49:36,655]: Being a cop was a big deal

[00:49:37,315]: Oh for sure

[00:49:38,015]: And now young people don’t feel drawn to those jobs right

[00:49:41,515]: So it is hard to get cops

[00:49:43,555]: MPD is down probably I think their ideal is 3 800 cops

[00:49:47,275]: They’re at about 3 300

[00:49:48,455]: You can say you’re going to get all these crimes

[00:49:50,275]: You’ve still got to go get cops

[00:49:51,415]: And you’ve got to find a way to get people into the system that can be on the streets and doing it

[00:49:55,995]: So if you give me my wish list for D C to make it better in the next two or three years it’s continue to actually take real crimes and put them in federal court and then bolster the number of cops

[00:50:07,535]: And you can bolster the number of cops as a U S attorney just by having their back right

[00:50:11,975]: There’s something called the Lewis list which is what happens if you go to court and you’re a cop and somebody claims you lied

[00:50:17,655]: They can put you on what’s called a Lewis list which is a requirement that the prosecutors tell a defendant that this guy testifying has had a problem in the past of credibility

[00:50:27,135]: But it’s abused by the judges and the public defenders to hurt the cops

[00:50:32,575]: Well I said we’re going to stick up for the cops and we’re going to try to change that

[00:50:36,355]: So you’ve got to stick up for the cops in lots of concrete ways that make the system work

[00:50:41,615]: But you’ve mostly just got to get after the crime systematically

[00:50:46,095]: Not hard

[00:50:46,815]: You know Rudy and these famous prosecutors they did one thing well

[00:50:50,735]: They consistently prosecuted crime

[00:50:53,055]: They didn’t come up with social plans

[00:50:55,235]: They didn’t come just get a crime put them in jail get a crime put them in jail

[00:50:59,655]: Swift and certain punishment

[00:51:00,835]: You know Metro just changed their rules in the district

[00:51:03,175]: The Metro you know both the buses and the Metro the trains that you can get banned from the trains because once you get banned from the trains or banned from Metro I can then arrest you for a different charge

[00:51:14,775]: Could be a felony for coming back in on a ban between before between before that

[00:51:19,435]: You could go every day

[00:51:20,615]: Could do three felonies three misdemeanors a day

[00:51:22,655]: You could expose yourself in the morning jump a fair thing in the afternoon and and you know whatever

[00:51:27,095]: And so Metro got serious and they were changing the dynamic

[00:51:30,115]: That’s just plain getting the crimes down and focused on it

[00:51:33,835]: And but you got to want to do it

[00:51:35,095]: You got to want to do it every day

[00:51:37,075]: We have to care care

[00:51:38,595]: Well that’s the word

[00:51:39,355]: The same thing

[00:51:40,295]: Yeah

[00:51:41,675]: So what what other cold cases are you looking at

[00:51:44,755]: Well the big one that I was interested in is the is the the number of times you can take DNA that was left behind

[00:51:51,095]: Those are a lot of sexual assault rape and sexual assault

[00:51:54,435]: So those are the most obvious ones

[00:51:56,155]: There’s some DNA cases on guns

[00:51:57,875]: If you have a weapon on a crime has some DNA on it as this technology has got more sophisticated

[00:52:03,075]: But you can instantly go and and using the databases now and technology get a check on DNA from a lot of

[00:52:10,095]: Why has no one done that

[00:52:11,215]: Well they are

[00:52:11,655]: It’s just it’s a process

[00:52:12,735]: It takes a lot of it takes a lot of time

[00:52:14,615]: I mean one of the things you’re doing is not everybody’s in the database

[00:52:16,975]: So you’re trying to track back through

[00:52:19,035]: But we are doing it

[00:52:20,015]: I mean that’s a lot of people on the database

[00:52:21,815]: A lot of people are in the database but not not everybody

[00:52:23,915]: I mean and so one of the well and so the FBI has been good about I don’t know why they were doing it weren’t doing it before

[00:52:30,795]: But the FBI has been great about letting us do it

[00:52:32,715]: And so we’re you know we’re tracking that down

[00:52:35,055]: Can I ask you a question

[00:52:36,155]: The members of Congress and it wasn’t just Tom Tillis

[00:52:38,255]: I don’t mean to keep beating up on poor Tom Tillis an idiot anyway

[00:52:42,575]: But but like all members of Congress on both sides were very threatened by J6

[00:52:46,255]: That’s one of the reasons you know is their building not the people’s house that belonged to them

[00:52:50,055]: Right

[00:52:50,915]: And they felt like their space was invaded

[00:52:52,795]: They felt their security was jeopardized

[00:52:54,915]: I get it

[00:52:56,315]: But aren’t they concerned that there are like murders taking place within walking distance of their office

[00:53:01,915]: I mean do they care about crime in D C

[00:53:04,415]: Did I even mention that

[00:53:05,755]: Well again you know Tucker and look I think President Trump is like this how he approaches everything

[00:53:11,695]: And I mean that’s how I wanted to serve

[00:53:14,675]: And I do

[00:53:15,435]: We did exactly what we’re saying

[00:53:16,955]: We said to everybody on the Hill come to a briefing on safety

[00:53:20,415]: We want to keep you safe because the staffers care

[00:53:23,075]: Right

[00:53:23,255]: The staffers are getting assaulted and all

[00:53:25,735]: And so and people people came to that and people want to hear how we’re going to do that how we can prosecute how

[00:53:31,135]: Because law enforcement again is partly prosecuting

[00:53:34,375]: But it’s a lot of showing up and showing force so people know you’re safer

[00:53:38,555]: And I mean look I think they care

[00:53:41,635]: The question is whether it leads to policy you know

[00:53:43,615]: And again my job as prosecutor in that office is to get after the crimes as I’ve got them

[00:53:50,595]: And if they’re not going to adjust their policies I can’t worry about that on the days you know day to day of getting after crime

[00:53:57,555]: But I’ll tell you what when I go to you know Anacostia or I go to these neighborhoods they care

[00:54:02,875]: And they know the U S attorney is paying attention to that

[00:54:06,195]: And that’s probably more important than the folks up on the Hill

[00:54:10,035]: I think I think it is

[00:54:11,995]: Tell us what you did with Wikipedia and why

[00:54:15,795]: Well you know the one of the aspects of you know weaponization is what we’re talking what I’ve been talking about with the new the new role

[00:54:24,595]: I’ve been on this weaponization working group is when weaponization of the legal system

[00:54:28,375]: Yeah weaponization of the legal system but really the weaponization of the law the use of the law to to hide and operate

[00:54:35,855]: So Wikipedia has this incredible five one C3 right gets a tax benefit from we the people

[00:54:41,875]: It’s a public benefit corporation

[00:54:43,815]: You know the 1950s they looked at this closely because the Rockefeller Foundation the Carnegie Foundation had been using their foundations and abusing it

[00:54:50,735]: And that’s when the law first changed to have five one C3 become a tax code

[00:54:54,855]: It was part of the shift

[00:54:56,255]: Right

[00:54:56,535]: So the Cox report or the Reese committee or whatever it was

[00:54:59,875]: But so we have this problem where these these Wikipedia has all this money that they use because there are five one C3 a nonprofit that’s supposed to be for the public benefit

[00:55:09,695]: Do they

[00:55:10,375]: How much do they pay you

[00:55:11,855]: I don’t even know

[00:55:12,535]: I don’t know the numbers

[00:55:13,715]: No they pay no taxes

[00:55:15,015]: I’m not sure if they pay zero but they probably say they pay payroll and other things

[00:55:18,875]: They have an answer to that but they would be tax exempt under the under the code

[00:55:22,415]: But more importantly they’re obviously biased

[00:55:26,235]: They’re obviously for and they’re anti Semitic is the big one but they’re obviously biased in all sorts of other ways

[00:55:30,535]: In fact as soon as I started taking them on my Wikipedia page went even worse to hell you know in terms of people coming on and editing it supposedly citizen editors

[00:55:39,315]: So there’s there’s bias again information war

[00:55:42,235]: Right

[00:55:42,675]: There’s bias here that is against we the people in my opinion

[00:55:47,015]: But certainly it’s bias that’s hidden from us because they’re hiding behind the law

[00:55:50,875]: In other words they’re using the law in a way that is weaponized against certain groups and individuals

[00:55:56,635]: And so that’s what we basically said to Wikipedia is hey let’s look closely at what you’re doing and how it’s operating and see who’s benefiting or not benefiting and paying a price

[00:56:06,095]: And by the way as soon as this happens they get panicked because they know we know there’s another reason

[00:56:10,735]: I wrote to a number of the medical journals and I said you guys are all 501C3

[00:56:14,635]: You get big benefits from tax exempt status

[00:56:17,695]: How are you balancing you know the partisan nature of the work you’re doing

[00:56:23,015]: How are you abiding by the laws that say that you’re not supposed to be picking sides or paid for by one donor or the other

[00:56:29,535]: And they lose their mind because no one’s supposed to ask

[00:56:32,635]: You know you’re not supposed to ask

[00:56:33,515]: It’s like USAID

[00:56:34,895]: We weren’t supposed to ask until this last six months

[00:56:38,055]: Why are we spending four hundred million dollars in wherever

[00:56:40,955]: Right

[00:56:41,135]: Why is this

[00:56:41,795]: You’re not allowed to ask

[00:56:43,155]: So that’s a part of this weaponization thing that I think is underrated

[00:56:48,355]: And with Wikipedia got a huge reaction

[00:56:50,435]: Wikipedia is is history now

[00:56:52,575]: I mean it’s how people understand the past

[00:56:54,215]: That’s right

[00:56:54,995]: It’s in league with Google

[00:56:56,475]: So it’s the it’s the first result on everything

[00:56:58,975]: Every noun you punch in gets Wikipedia first

[00:57:01,675]: So people don’t understand anything that’s happened in the world prior to last week except through Wikipedia

[00:57:06,995]: So if it’s totally distorted then you change the collective memory

[00:57:10,655]: I know

[00:57:11,475]: But we’re back right again

[00:57:12,415]: We started

[00:57:13,475]: We’re back to the information war

[00:57:14,595]: Right

[00:57:14,775]: It’s a war over information

[00:57:16,095]: And if nobody you tell me who who

[00:57:20,195]: Well let me say it this way

[00:57:21,915]: A prosecutor saying that about Wikipedia is vastly different than Tucker Carlson saying it

[00:57:26,955]: Well I agree

[00:57:27,615]: Right

[00:57:27,675]: And so and that’s the point

[00:57:29,195]: I wish I was a prosecutor

[00:57:30,275]: And that’s and that’s why Donald Trump in my estimation said to guys like me go and do this because that’s the role is not just to find the right guy to prosecute

[00:57:42,855]: We’ve got to do that too

[00:57:43,595]: If it if it rises to that it’s to make clear how off kilter the information battle is because the public doesn’t know that

[00:57:53,255]: Right

[00:57:53,415]: They don’t have that sense of what

[00:57:54,755]: I mean Wikipedia is a propaganda operation and one of its founders told me that the CIA or the American intel community is heavily involved in shaping the message on Wikipedia

[00:58:06,735]: Did you come across evidence of that

[00:58:08,395]: Not yet but that just started that and that sort of opening salvo was about three weeks ago

[00:58:13,275]: So Judge Jeanine I’ll have that one on our plate

[00:58:15,635]: But you know where I’m going the job I’m going to I don’t have to leave any of that stuff behind

[00:58:19,355]: So I can tell you I thought you were going to go a different direction

[00:58:22,175]: And I’ll I’ll say on the weaponization working group as it’s described by Attorney General Bondi and the president’s direction

[00:58:29,575]: Intelligence community is one of the groups that was weaponized against the people

[00:58:32,655]: Obviously it’s obvious

[00:58:33,835]: The question is how are we going to get to the bottom of it

[00:58:36,075]: Right

[00:58:36,315]: How are we going to get to the bottom of some of the weaponization of the government intelligence community against the citizens

[00:58:41,195]: And that’s what that’s where I’m going now

[00:58:43,335]: We can’t tell you it’s classified

[00:58:44,995]: Well I think it tell me I’m now in the I’m now in the I’m now in the system where we’ll see if I can get you know but again the point of getting if you can get what

[00:58:53,095]: Well the point of getting into these positions as a prosecutor is I’m now getting the the clearances to be able to get to the to the to the level where you can look at

[00:59:01,935]: So I know that still try not to tell you but that’s the point of of this fight is you cannot win the information battle based on what they let you see

[00:59:12,295]: It’s what you have to find even in our government especially in our government

[00:59:16,915]: And I and I have to say the classification regimen does not seem primarily focused on protecting national security

[00:59:26,615]: At all

[00:59:28,115]: Right exactly

[00:59:29,175]: Back to weaponization the 51 guys that signed the letter on the Hunter Biden laptop

[00:59:33,975]: Yeah you’d have to be a fool to think that’s an isolated incident

[00:59:38,935]: In other words if they’re willing to misuse and mischaracterize a letter based on their you know their status and the advantage that they have as insiders that’s not the only time they did it

[00:59:50,895]: Right

[00:59:51,495]: And so the question is how endemic is the weaponization

[00:59:55,635]: Right

[00:59:55,995]: And we both know the answer

[00:59:57,515]: This is back to your point

[00:59:58,475]: It’s much much worse than we think

[01:00:00,415]: The question is how do we continually go about getting to the bottom of it

[01:00:04,915]: I’ll probably get myself in trouble

[01:00:07,195]: Are you in trouble

[01:00:07,675]: Who knows

[01:00:08,275]: One of the ways I ran elections one of the places I think that is really problematic that nobody has looked at is the certification of systems

[01:00:16,975]: Right

[01:00:17,435]: The certification of election systems for the record not saying there’s any fraud but how do you certify there’s fraud

[01:00:24,495]: Well I know

[01:00:24,815]: But the election

[01:00:25,375]: Look at what’s at stake

[01:00:26,555]: Exactly

[01:00:26,835]: Well no no

[01:00:27,315]: But even better look at how much money it is

[01:00:29,275]: That’s what I’m saying

[01:00:30,035]: Right

[01:00:30,135]: Well OK

[01:00:30,675]: But even just the Election Assistance Commission is the entity that certifies machines

[01:00:35,855]: OK

[01:00:36,335]: It has no real teeth but it controls who’s certified or not which means it controls who has the good housekeeping stamp of approval worth hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars

[01:00:46,875]: What are the chances that that has been done

[01:00:49,915]: Everything else we’ve seen in government is broken corrupt messy incompetent or something

[01:00:56,355]: Right

[01:00:56,635]: What are the chances that’s the one place where it’s totally competent and totally without any flaws

[01:01:00,635]: I’m just saying let’s go look

[01:01:02,015]: Right

[01:01:02,175]: And that’s what we’ve got to do to get to the bottom of this

[01:01:05,475]: In the same way that the gun control people are fine with gang bangers having guns

[01:01:12,255]: Right

[01:01:12,595]: The democracy is sacred

[01:01:14,555]: People are very upset when you want to make sure that elections have integrity

[01:01:18,515]: That’s weird

[01:01:20,793]: I love when you do this Tucker move it’s weird

[01:01:23,133]: It’s weird only if you impute good intentions to these people

[01:01:28,073]: It is weird then but it’s totally predictable

[01:01:32,113]: And all around the world by the way they’re watching this happening

[01:01:34,853]: Poland right now they’re in the midst of they’re trying to take Poland out

[01:01:37,873]: Obama is in Poland

[01:01:39,093]: There’s an election in a week

[01:01:40,393]: Obama’s in Poland

[01:01:41,573]: I had a whistleblower

[01:01:42,173]: Why do you think that is

[01:01:43,693]: With Radek Sikorski and Applebaum’s husband

[01:01:46,313]: I had a whistleblower come into my office and they were telling me the story that every couple of months Samantha Powers would arrive with USAID money to this country

[01:01:57,173]: I won’t say which one

[01:01:58,353]: And I said you guys know who Samantha Powers is

[01:02:00,313]: Of course we do

[01:02:01,253]: She was arriving with the money and they knew it was sort of the beginnings of a color revolution

[01:02:07,593]: It’s not lost on the world

[01:02:09,013]: It’s not at all lost

[01:02:10,653]: Again the question is are we going to get all of it out

[01:02:14,333]: Are we going to name it and then hold some people accountable

[01:02:16,773]: People say are you going to walk people out in cuffs

[01:02:19,093]: Right now I’d be happy to have just people know their names right

[01:02:22,813]: I’d like the cuffs later if they commit a crime

[01:02:24,833]: But right now people don’t even know their names

[01:02:26,773]: And the question is whether we can even get through the information storm that we’re in to get that out

[01:02:34,313]: Well I mean the early returns are not good

[01:02:37,113]: I mean John F

[01:02:38,693]: Kennedy was murdered 62 years ago

[01:02:40,333]: And the executive order from the president was January 23rd two days after his inauguration

[01:02:45,033]: And we still do not have thousands of Kennedy assassination related documents

[01:02:49,933]: No one wants to say that

[01:02:50,973]: I voted for Trump

[01:02:51,973]: I love Trump

[01:02:52,433]: But like what the hell is that

[01:02:55,053]: That’s not on my docket

[01:02:56,133]: No but it’s like I know it’s the classification laws make it

[01:03:01,413]: Well don’t make it by the way

[01:03:03,033]: I mean you just rule by fiat which I think someone needs to do immediately

[01:03:07,053]: But like just classify you know release the documents you’re going to prison

[01:03:11,293]: How’s that

[01:03:12,053]: But you can’t even get 62 year old documents released months after a presidential executive order

[01:03:20,693]: Like that’s how hard it is to fight these classification rules

[01:03:25,433]: Well and back to say it again that’s the big one

[01:03:30,213]: You can many are you not seeing

[01:03:32,353]: Well that’s it

[01:03:32,693]: That’s exactly right

[01:03:33,593]: That’s right

[01:03:34,073]: That’s what I’m saying

[01:03:35,493]: This is not this is still David versus Goliath

[01:03:37,633]: And that’s the lowest stakes of all because no one connected is still alive

[01:03:41,473]: Right right

[01:03:42,573]: Yeah

[01:03:42,813]: It’s not a crossfire hurricane which you know

[01:03:45,673]: No it’s not 9 11

[01:03:46,793]: It’s not the 2020 election

[01:03:49,033]: It’s not COVID

[01:03:49,593]: It’s not COVID right

[01:03:50,293]: I was just going to say right

[01:03:51,533]: So I mean how many people in your experience so far at DOJ have your mindset

[01:03:58,733]: Well most of the ones I work with I come out of the I mostly work with Dagov Dag’s office you know that’s Blanche and Emil Bove and some of those guys

[01:04:08,453]: Those guys when they turned the lights on on the inauguration day there was only a handful of us there

[01:04:14,893]: And those folks are in the mindset we’re talking about

[01:04:18,553]: What do career DOJ people think of you

[01:04:19,973]: Oh no no

[01:04:20,473]: They’re mostly scared

[01:04:21,793]: I mean they’re mostly scared and nervous

[01:04:23,293]: And if they’re left leaning or establishment and don’t want a part of it that’s one thing

[01:04:28,973]: But most of them are just you know they’ve seen this go on too long right

[01:04:32,433]: Our side doesn’t win ever

[01:04:33,973]: So you’re not going to have people betting with the side that never wins right

[01:04:37,853]: They’re not like oh my career will be better if I go with those guys

[01:04:40,493]: This time they’re like I did that for a minute back in you know 1985 and it didn’t work out well right

[01:04:46,173]: So that’s the problem with that

[01:04:48,573]: No it’s so true

[01:04:49,333]: It’s so true

[01:04:50,253]: How corrupt is Merrick worse than you can even imagine is he has a bit of a Biden Joe Biden kind of mentality

[01:05:02,533]: There was everything going around him and he wasn’t checked in

[01:05:05,233]: It seems like to me you know I’m not saying he was mentally off

[01:05:07,693]: I’m saying he was he was a caretaker and Lisa Monaco and others were running everything

[01:05:12,033]: So when you know he was more maybe maybe I’m being too generous

[01:05:16,373]: He may have been more clueless than than willful

[01:05:19,233]: I’m not surprised

[01:05:20,313]: Yeah

[01:05:20,313]: But like Mueller was that way too I think

[01:05:24,213]: Oh 100 percent guaranteed

[01:05:25,313]: Yeah

[01:05:25,573]: And when history is written you know and I tend to write a whole bunch of it Tucker

[01:05:29,073]: So when it’s written you know you watch this

[01:05:31,493]: It’ll accelerate under Obama

[01:05:32,973]: Right

[01:05:33,293]: It used to be politicized I think

[01:05:35,473]: And now it’s weaponized

[01:05:36,973]: That’s the pivot that went on

[01:05:38,073]: Right

[01:05:38,253]: It used to be politicized

[01:05:39,893]: Somebody’s advantage or not

[01:05:40,913]: Bill Clinton I think maybe I’m being too generous

[01:05:42,473]: He was sort of politicizing things

[01:05:44,153]: It got weaponized where they’re destroying people putting people in jail trying to right trying to kill them

[01:05:50,053]: Remember Obama joking about I’m good at killing people

[01:05:52,393]: Right

[01:05:52,793]: There was a there was a sense of sort of of of real disrespect for humanity that kicked in

[01:05:59,133]: Yes

[01:05:59,533]: And it and it kicked in and drove through that

[01:06:01,593]: That’s what Biden the Biden term is something we were we barely escaped in my opinion in terms of that that idea and that destruction of citizens against humanity

[01:06:11,013]: I completely agree

[01:06:12,393]: I completely

[01:06:13,053]: What happened to Lisa Monaco

[01:06:14,713]: Well I think she’s at a big law firm

[01:06:15,893]: I think I probably I think I wrote to her

[01:06:17,433]: I wrote to her letter and said what’s going on

[01:06:18,773]: We want to check on things you know

[01:06:20,553]: Yes she’s at a big law firm

[01:06:22,093]: She’s cycling out

[01:06:22,833]: It’s all the same

[01:06:23,673]: You know Andrew Weissman Lisa Monaco they they all go

[01:06:25,793]: Lisa Monaco went to NYU recently gave a speech probably got paid for it

[01:06:28,853]: You know you know remember the Vindman’s Vindman got a job the one in Congress

[01:06:32,673]: He got a job at Georgetown for one hundred grand

[01:06:34,673]: He didn’t teach but he was some sort of fellow or something to get back to Georgetown

[01:06:37,773]: This is just a cycle there where they’re all very well paid and they talk to each other and then they get ready for the next effort

[01:06:44,493]: Norm Eisen or whoever tells them this is the next way we’re going

[01:06:48,133]: And so you know I think the the good news is we do have on our side the truth and we just got to keep fighting for it

[01:06:56,013]: And you know so we’re not positive that cryptocurrency is the future of finance but we do know that what we have now is broken and dangerous

[01:07:03,613]: Debt has never been higher in this country

[01:07:05,353]: Many of our so called leaders are getting rich serving you

[01:07:08,573]: It’s a scam

[01:07:09,753]: So where does it go

[01:07:10,793]: Well thankfully there are options

[01:07:13,273]: Donald Trump has said repeatedly he wants the United States to be the crypto capital of the world

[01:07:17,293]: He’s already created the Crypto Advisory Council and recently signed an executive order to establish a Bitcoin strategic reserve

[01:07:23,733]: This could give normal people an alternative to the government’s failing system and frankly to the U S dollar

[01:07:29,593]: I’m not saying put all your money outside the U S dollar but like don’t be crazy

[01:07:33,113]: Don’t be stupid here

[01:07:33,853]: You can see where it’s going

[01:07:35,053]: So the people that I trust capital can help you get in to this

[01:07:39,033]: It’s complicated for people who aren’t following it

[01:07:41,893]: They make it easy

[01:07:43,033]: They’re based 100 in the United States of America

[01:07:45,373]: We looked into this

[01:07:46,633]: They service only American investors and they operate the only platform that allows you to buy and sell crypto 24 7 both inside and outside of your tax advantaged IRA

[01:07:55,973]: And it all happens on one easy to use dashboard

[01:07:58,773]: They also operate a closed loop system meaning that bad actors can’t access your account and steal your money

[01:08:04,813]: So if you’re considering adding Bitcoin if you want to or some other cryptocurrency portfolio iTrust can be trusted and it’s easy to understand

[01:08:15,293]: iTrustCapital com

[01:08:16,333]: or click the link below

[01:08:17,833]: So what’s on your slate of priorities

[01:08:21,713]: Well Attorney General Bondi when we started the group she gave us some real straight marching order

[01:08:27,073]: Jack Smith what he did which is unbelievable

[01:08:30,233]: Unbelievable

[01:08:31,473]: Anyway the Catholics that were targeted remember the Richmond memo

[01:08:35,053]: How did that happen

[01:08:36,073]: J6 is another one

[01:08:37,953]: There’s one of her charges on the working group was whistleblowers the whistleblowers that were targeted

[01:08:43,333]: You talk about weaponization Tucker

[01:08:45,593]: Remember the guy that’s in jail up in I think West Virginia

[01:08:49,273]: He’s supposedly a Lone Ranger

[01:08:50,873]: He stole all the tax returns and he leaked trumps

[01:08:54,073]: Remember he leaked trumps but nobody paid attention

[01:08:56,473]: He also leaked four or five or mostly conservatives

[01:09:02,753]: It’s funny how that happened

[01:09:04,193]: And then a whole bunch of small businesses mostly conservative

[01:09:06,873]: And I got a briefing on that and I said this guy acted alone

[01:09:10,133]: He didn’t tell anyone

[01:09:11,033]: And they’re like oh yeah he’s like Snowden

[01:09:12,653]: I’m like are you joking

[01:09:13,693]: Are you really telling me

[01:09:14,633]: He’s like somehow he’s like the Snowden of IRS tax

[01:09:18,453]: Because this was weaponized

[01:09:19,813]: Remember it was ProPublica

[01:09:22,153]: First he went to New York Times then he went to ProPublica which was going hammer and tongs one after another against all these people

[01:09:28,373]: Again weaponizing American law against citizens

[01:09:32,353]: So that’s a bit of a digression but to say the whistleblowers in the IRS and other places that came forward have been targeted under the Biden administration

[01:09:41,533]: So that’s another thing that Bondi asked us to do

[01:09:44,813]: School boards all across the country when they targeted school board parents that’s another focus for us to look at

[01:09:58,013]: Crossfire Hurricane is still a big deal

[01:10:01,213]: Obviously getting to the bottom of that

[01:10:03,313]: They end up overlapping a lot as you know

[01:10:06,013]: But there’s a lot to do a lot to do

[01:10:08,813]: When are we going to see the Epstein stuff we were promised

[01:10:13,013]: That’s another one I’m not where I am right now

[01:10:15,773]: You’re not diving right into Epstein

[01:10:17,313]: Well no I’m happy

[01:10:18,333]: I’m happy to help but in any way I can

[01:10:20,893]: I haven’t been in on that

[01:10:21,913]: I’ve not been on that matter now

[01:10:23,293]: Do you think the Attorney General Barr promised an investigation in Epstein’s death in federal custody in Manhattan

[01:10:29,773]: We never got the results of that

[01:10:31,973]: Is there some way for the public to petition

[01:10:34,133]: Like whatever happened to that

[01:10:36,113]: I don’t think there’s a way for the public to petition but I think as you ask about it people will respond

[01:10:40,753]: I guess I don’t I never saw that if there was a

[01:10:43,313]: No it was never

[01:10:44,213]: They never did the investigation

[01:10:45,313]: Oh they didn’t even do it

[01:10:46,193]: I don’t think they did

[01:10:46,933]: No

[01:10:47,493]: Oh that’s the first I’ve heard of it

[01:10:48,893]: I don’t know

[01:10:49,433]: Again I know that when I got into office I wanted to talk about the pipe bomb and find out more about the pipe bomb

[01:10:55,973]: I also want somebody to I’m going to get to the bottom of some of the January 6th remember the gallows the fake gallows that were built

[01:11:02,633]: They’re built by five guys who you can see them on video all over the place

[01:11:07,633]: Iconic image used to destroy America around the world that somehow this was a gallows with a noose total fraud total fraud

[01:11:15,673]: What happened to those guys

[01:11:16,533]: Well I don’t know

[01:11:16,833]: We never found them

[01:11:17,693]: We never found them

[01:11:18,273]: We never found those guys

[01:11:19,353]: In an age of facial recognition we just can’t find those guys

[01:11:22,113]: Can’t find those guys

[01:11:24,473]: The pipe bomb question is a really interesting one

[01:11:27,453]: And the only reason I think most of us know much about it is a guy called Darren Beatty who now works at the State Department thank God who reported on it extensively on Revolver News

[01:11:36,833]: But that was so baffling and remains baffling because those bombs whether they’re real or not were outside the two party headquarters on Capitol Hill RNC and DNC

[01:11:45,253]: So you’d think politicians would really want to know why the conspicuous curiosity about that

[01:11:55,073]: I’m with Darren

[01:11:56,113]: I mean before I was in office I kept saying how can this possibly be

[01:11:59,713]: If you go to any other part of the world and you say the two major political parties had bombs put by their front door it’d be the story forever right

[01:12:06,853]: Sounds like you know just before World War II started there were bombs placed somewhere right

[01:12:11,313]: I mean in front of the parties

[01:12:12,873]: So I’ve never understood either

[01:12:14,473]: And the bombs were you know they were sort of rudimentary but they clearly somebody knew what they were doing for the look

[01:12:20,313]: I mean again it’s information

[01:12:21,413]: It was an information

[01:12:22,833]: Whatever it is it became a piece of information or a play or information that we haven’t gotten to the bottom of

[01:12:29,333]: But everyone’s sort of like yeah whatever the pipe bombs outside the party

[01:12:32,613]: It’s you know whatever

[01:12:33,493]: We’ve got more important things to worry about

[01:12:34,953]: Really

[01:12:35,313]: Yeah

[01:12:36,093]: Yeah

[01:12:37,093]: We’ll get there

[01:12:38,673]: Will we ever know what happened in the 2020 election

[01:12:43,633]: The numbers were weird I thought

[01:12:45,353]: Well not just the numbers everything about characteristics of all of the election

[01:12:51,853]: And then there was the admissions that the election was fortified

[01:12:56,733]: It was intentionally planned to do that in such a way to get results that looked off

[01:13:02,273]: Now does that mean they cheated

[01:13:03,813]: We don’t have that smoking gun but we certainly have over and over and over again aspects of things that didn’t look right

[01:13:09,533]: And we’ve never had the answers on it

[01:13:11,273]: So yes we will get to the bottom of it again

[01:13:13,473]: This is the point about information

[01:13:16,613]: You cannot move ahead if you don’t actually know what happened

[01:13:20,653]: And clearly clearly the mainstream media and the elites told us you have to shut up

[01:13:27,173]: You’re not allowed to talk about that right

[01:13:28,953]: It’s insane

[01:13:29,973]: Oh I remember

[01:13:30,713]: Yeah I mean we all remember it well

[01:13:32,293]: And then January 6th was used in my opinion to try to shut off the conversation even more right

[01:13:36,853]: Oh I know

[01:13:37,413]: And so but I do think we’ll get to the bottom of it

[01:13:39,673]: No I played video that was from the U S Senate given to me by the U S government and everyone at Fox News was mad at me for playing the video

[01:13:48,533]: I was like why really

[01:13:49,913]: I thought we were a news company

[01:13:51,533]: No I remember that very very well

[01:13:56,053]: Do you think that we will see people held accountable for this

[01:14:01,813]: Yes yes yes yes

[01:14:03,513]: I mean I wish it was faster

[01:14:05,993]: I feel the same frustration right

[01:14:07,833]: Getting people arrested faster and prosecuted faster

[01:14:10,733]: You know I wish it was fast

[01:14:11,793]: We’re 120 days in 115 days in

[01:14:14,393]: And where I sit I can tell you I was there pushing on key issues

[01:14:18,653]: I’m in the middle of a bunch of them

[01:14:20,353]: Judge Jeanine will keep them going

[01:14:21,873]: It’s harder than you think to move fast enough

[01:14:24,053]: I agree with all that

[01:14:24,873]: But there will be accountability

[01:14:26,513]: The truth will be known

[01:14:28,433]: People will be accountable

[01:14:29,393]: And as importantly by the way people that have been damaged will be healed

[01:14:33,453]: They will be given either pardons like the president’s done for a lot of people or other things

[01:14:39,353]: I think you know we have a set of people that have been targeted by the government that deserve to be helped

[01:14:47,693]: And that’s going to be part of this guaranteed

[01:14:52,513]: By the way that did make a man

[01:14:53,713]: I will say this

[01:14:54,613]: People ask me in all my interviews at the Senate they said are you for reparations

[01:14:58,153]: So hey that’s a stupid term that was used about but I am for when somebody gets wronged and destroyed by their government that they be taken care of that they try to make them whole in so far as they can

[01:15:09,133]: That’s only fair

[01:15:09,893]: By the way that’s not Strzok and Page getting a million dollar payout which is what they got

[01:15:15,253]: By the way that’s another form of weaponization of government when you have Biden administration and Strzok and Page transferring wealth to each other based on an agreement

[01:15:23,593]: That’s completely inappropriate

[01:15:26,333]: On what basis did they get a million dollar settlement

[01:15:28,353]: They sued because they were heard about how their texts were released to the public

[01:15:32,733]: My texts were released to the public no one gave me a million dollars

[01:15:36,933]: Maybe give me a call

[01:15:37,893]: No give us a call

[01:15:39,573]: But so getting to the bottom of that kind of stuff that kind of conduct is another part of this thing

[01:15:46,473]: But it almost feels like it can never end because it’s so you know the weaponization against the citizens began a long time ago but we really started to see it under Biden

[01:15:59,013]: And they accelerated the conduct as you can see it you can see the memos you know Merrick Garland and all target the Catholics right

[01:16:05,793]: And go after the school boards and Jack Smith

[01:16:09,613]: Jack Smith took he used a grand jury in DC which is famously you know favorable to the Democrats to do almost all of his work

[01:16:21,413]: And then he flew down to Florida and basically transferred it down there

[01:16:25,473]: For lawyers this is like unheard of stuff

[01:16:28,533]: And everybody goes oh yeah you know Letitia James and these the way the conduct happens and people go oh yeah you know by the way one thing too Tucker to preview the lawyers the bar associations and the targeting of lawyers is another way that they’ve weaponized government against people you know they they you know you can say what you want about Rudy or something

[01:16:49,973]: We’ve never had the system weaponized against lawyers for doing their jobs right

[01:16:54,673]: It’s never been like that

[01:16:55,633]: Again it’s it’s indication of something wrong with why are you so upset about the election

[01:17:00,273]: There’s a reason exactly

[01:17:01,313]: But also it’s it’s also inappropriate as a matter of public policy those organizations are all 501c3s

[01:17:08,093]: They’re all protected by law

[01:17:09,673]: They’re all basically monopolies right

[01:17:11,553]: So they’re so you’re sitting here where you’ve got the DC bar disciplinary council is basically doing Dick Durbin’s bidding

[01:17:17,433]: Every time Dick Durbin says something he opens a complaint against me he’ll do it against Judge Janine

[01:17:22,573]: And you’re like wait a second this is not the system that we’re supposed to have

[01:17:26,053]: So that’s another one that’s weapon the weaponization of the law against the citizens to the detriment of the country

[01:17:32,773]: I’ve known a number of smart high testosterone reform minded people who come to DC to make things better who get destroyed

[01:17:41,653]: Well right

[01:17:43,773]: You’ve been reading the Washington Post

[01:17:45,553]: I haven’t been I haven’t read it in years

[01:17:48,253]: Okay

[01:17:49,213]: But I’ve just seen this happen to a lot of people

[01:17:52,793]: So I mean just on the basis of what you said over the last hour I think you’re going to be the target for you know a lot of efforts to destroy you

[01:18:00,953]: It’s been going on though for a while

[01:18:02,973]: I mean maybe I mean look Phyllis Schlafly for whom I worked there’s this famous exchange where she’s given a speech and she says Clarence Thomas said to her how do you keep going Phyllis

[01:18:12,613]: You know she said how do you keep he said and she said there’s a there’s a prayer she says you know she would always say from the malignant enemy defend me

[01:18:20,733]: It’s one of the Catholic prayers you know and you know look we’re so blessed you know this you have the same attitude to be in this country to have so many opportunities and people deserve our families deserve to have a future

[01:18:34,373]: And so this is the fight that we’re in

[01:18:37,273]: And you know they’ve said terrible things for about a month

[01:18:40,253]: My wife doesn’t watch TV which is great doesn’t read the papers thank God

[01:18:43,733]: My kids do a little bit now and they’re not quite as convinced that I’m as good a guy as I told them I was before

[01:18:50,293]: But no no it’s a it’s a it’s a battle

[01:18:53,693]: It’s a it’s a fight for the future

[01:18:55,073]: And and so some of us are going to take a bit of a beating and we’ll keep going

[01:18:59,633]: You wonder where this is going

[01:19:00,853]: I mean if Obama weaponized the government against people who didn’t vote for him and Joe Biden brought it to the next level and just threw hundreds in prison what’s the next democratic administration going to look like

[01:19:14,733]: Well that’s that’s fair

[01:19:16,313]: I thought you were going to say something different

[01:19:18,393]: You know the one thing I tell people all the time is one of the reasons you have to care to deescalate the rhetoric is it is leading you can see it’s leading to I mean people are spitting on me on the sidewalk right

[01:19:30,073]: This is not this is not normal behavior

[01:19:32,453]: Misdemeanor who you were

[01:19:33,993]: Well I know

[01:19:34,613]: That tells you a lot

[01:19:35,453]: Well that’s a yes

[01:19:37,233]: I mean I knew you were but I because I follow this stuff but like

[01:19:40,653]: But I think that the it’s it can lead to when when the when people start to lose power you see the desperation right

[01:19:51,773]: You see the and and to me that’s what that’s the one thing you start to notice

[01:19:57,833]: And so yes it could be really terrible on a Democrat administration

[01:20:01,853]: Imagine you know what it’s like for you know President Rahm Emanuel when he puts in you know Attorney General I don’t know Adam Schiff and what the heck that’s like

[01:20:11,353]: It feels like we’ve gone to the bottom and maybe you know finish a thought that I had earlier that I didn’t get to finish which is it feels like a lot of people that were good people before you know a hundred years ago again back to a hundred years ago good people just had good morals cared about each other fight fight fight but be honorable on the same side

[01:20:30,073]: That doesn’t seem as common right now right

[01:20:32,033]: That there’s some people that really are not good people that are just disagreeing

[01:20:35,693]: They’re really not good people

[01:20:37,253]: And that’s dangerous right

[01:20:40,153]: That feels you can feel that sometimes

[01:20:42,073]: And I think that’s a worry but it’s something that we have to live with and work through and pray about and try to build the community about to see

[01:20:50,953]: Ed Martin I really appreciate all of this

[01:20:53,193]: Great to be with you

[01:20:53,673]: Thank you very much

[01:20:55,513]: Thank you

[01:20:59,653]: So it turns out that YouTube is suppressing this show

[01:21:02,913]: On one level that’s not surprising

[01:21:04,513]: That’s what they do

[01:21:05,193]: But on another level it’s shocking

[01:21:06,933]: With everything that’s going on in the world right now all the change taking place in our economy and our politics with the wars on the cusp of fighting right now Google has decided you should have less information rather than more

[01:21:19,313]: And that is totally wrong

[01:21:21,933]: It’s immoral

[01:21:22,873]: What can you do about it

[01:21:24,753]: Well we could whine about it

[01:21:26,153]: That’s a waste of time

[01:21:27,353]: We’re not in charge of Google

[01:21:28,313]: Or we could find a way around it a way that you could actually get information that is true not intentionally deceptive

[01:21:34,373]: The way to do that on YouTube we think is to subscribe to our channel

[01:21:38,333]: Subscribe

[01:21:38,873]: Hit the little bell icon to be notified when we upload and share this video

[01:21:43,353]: That way you’ll have a much higher chance of hearing actual news and information

[01:21:48,753]: So we hope that you’ll do that
