  Speaker 1: in appeal to reinstate the criminal case against Donald Trump

  Speaker 1: of mar Lago after Judge Cannon already dismissed the case.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Translation.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: They are desperate to take down Donald Trump, and this

• 2:49
  Speaker 1: big breaking news, and that is that you now have
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the special counsel Jack Smith has officially appealed the dismissal
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: of the Trump Marlago case. Federal judge last month dismissed
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the case over Trump's handling of classified documents. Many believe
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: this was the end of it. It would be all over,
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: let's move on. This was a huge defeat for the
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: DOJ and for the Biden administration and for Harris.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: And now they're bring it back.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Why because this is lawfair, this is election fair. This
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: is a federal judge who slapped him around last month
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: dismissing the case over the handling.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Of the classified documents.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: And basically what you have now is you have Jack
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Smith who's like, I don't care I want to lock
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: up Donald Trump. I want to interfere with this election.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I want to hurt him, I want to attack him.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: And that's what this is all about. Now, let me
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: remind you what they said when they originally dismissed this
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: case and why it was dismissed. This was on Fox
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: As It Happened with Harris Faulkner.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Listen breaking news today on former President Trump's legal battles.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: A victory his classified documents case in Florida has been dismissed.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Judge Island Cannon has thrown on the case out after
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: deciding that Special Counsel Jacksmith's appointment violated the US Constitution.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Great reporting on this today from David Spunt, who is
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: WT for US at the Justice Department, with the latest
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and the president President Trump's reaction.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: David Well, Harris, President Trump is thrilled. We're waiting for
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: some sort of reactions from the Justice Department. Haven't gotten
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: it yet. We're told we will hear something, likely from
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Special Counsel jack Smith's office. Perhaps his next steps he
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: could appeal to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, also
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: potentially go to.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: The Supreme Court.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: But remember it was almost two years ago August of
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty two. That's when the FBI rated Mara a Lago.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: This case has been hanging over former President Donald Trump
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: before he even announced reelection. Judge Eileen Cannon, who happens
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: to be a Trump appointed judge, announced that this case
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: is dismissed because Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed. He was
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: a special Prosecutor Harris at the Hague in the Netherlands
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: prosecuting war crimes in Kosovo when Attorney General Meyrick Garland
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: called him up and asked him to be special counsel.
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: Garland did so because Trump announced that he was going
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: to be a candidate for president of the United States,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and it would keep the DOJ insulated from looking like
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: it was weighing its power on the scale. Judge Cannon
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: has problems with Smith's appointment because he was not Senate confirmed.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Now she took a recent hit from a recent hint
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: from Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who questioned Smith's appointment
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: on paper. Cannon wrote in her ninety three page ruling today,
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: in the end, there does appear to be a tradition
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: of appointing special attorney like figures and moments of political
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: scandal throughout the country's history, but very few, if any,
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: of these figures actually resembled a position of Special Council Smith.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: Mister Smith is a private citizen exercising the full power
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: of a United States attorney and with very little oversighter supervision.
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: From twenty to twenty sixteen, we had one Special Council
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Patrick Fitzgerald. From twenty seventeen Harris. Until today, we've had five.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: Robert Muller was a former FBI director who in investigated
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Trump in the Russia connections. He was not Senate approved,
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: but Judge Cannon is not going back in time.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Nothing she can do about that.
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: John Durham, who investigated the origins of the Russia probe,
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: David Weiss, who investigated Hunter Biden, is currently investigating Hunter Biden,
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: and Jack Smith, who is investigating Donald Trump. John Durham,
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: Robert Hurr, and David Weiss were all US attorneys. They
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: were Senate confirmed. Right now, we're waiting for some sort
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: of news from Jacksmith's office, but no question a seismic
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: day for the Trump campaign. He told our Brettbear earlier
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: that he wants his other prosecutions to end as well.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Now you listen to that seismic right was the way
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: that was described. So what has Special Counsel Jack Smith
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: done today?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Mascre it. I don't care, like this is lawfair.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: So what I'm doing is, I'm going to appeal the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: federal Judge Cannon's ruling and I'm going to say, basically,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: screw the Constitution, which I'm accused of violating, Like just
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm going to do this. This is
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: what I'm going to do. This is how it's going
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to work. And I'm going to say I don't care
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: about the dismissal of the classified records Marlago case against
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump because he said quote that his appointment is valid.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: That's now what he's claiming saying, you know, I mean
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I was appointed the right way.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not really worried about the Constitution. Now.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Cannon, the US District Judge for the Southern District of Florida,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: last month, made it clear dismissing the case, saying, look,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the appointment's cause of the United States Constitution was clearly violated,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: and that's why Cannon said Smith's appointment of special counsel
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: was quote unconstitutional. The Attorney General validly appointed the Special
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Council who's properly funded. The filing states from Smith inruly otherwise,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the District Court deviated from binding Supreme Court President, misconstrued
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the statues that authorized the Special Council's appointment, and took
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: inadequate account of the longest and history of Attorney general
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: appointments of special counsels.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Smith also argued that he was.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Properly funded through the Congressional enacted Permanent Identified Appropriation to
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: pay all necessary expenses of investigations and prosecutions by independent
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: counsel appointed Pursuant to quote US Code, the appointment clause
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: says ambassadors and other public ministers and counselors, judges and
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of the Supreme Court, and all other officers of the
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: United States be appointed by the President, subject to the
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: advice and consend the Senate, although Congress may vest the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: appointment of inferior officers and the President alone in the
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: court of Law and the head of department. Smith again
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: problem again, never confirmed by the Senate.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: So how would any of that apply to him? Again,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: this is law fare.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: They want to lock up Donald Trump, at least in court,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: if not in actual life.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Now, let me go.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: Back to what the judge said about a month ago.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: This actually happened.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: I think it was that during the RNC Convention when
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: this ruling came down.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: That was very clear.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: In Cannon's decision last month had said, quote, upon careful
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: study of the fundamental challenges raised in the motion, the
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Court is convinced that Special Counsel Smith's prosecution of this
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: action breaches two, not one, but two structural cornerstones of
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: our constitutional scheme. The role of Congress and the appointment
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: of constitutional officers. Jack Smith was ever appointed by Congress,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: and the role of Congress and authorizing expenditures by law.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: That is what Canon clearly stated in the decision last month.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: The Framers gave Congress a pivotal role in the appointment
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: of principle and in inferior officers. That role cannot be
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: usurved by the executive branch or diffused elsewhere, whether in
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: this case or in another case, whether in times of
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: heightened national need or not.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: In the case of inferior officers, that means that Congress
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: is empowered to decide if it wishes to vest appointment
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: power in a head of department. And indeed, Congress has
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: proven itself quite capable of doing so in many other
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: statutory contexts, but it plainly did not do so here,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: despite the special council strain that statutory readings Canon add
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: it so to be clear what he is. What Jack
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Smith is saying is I don't care. Okay, I just
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: don't care. I don't care, and I'm going to keep
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: going after Donald Trump because we need to tell him
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: up in court. They I don't even think they care
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: about actually locking up Trump anymore. They just need to
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: put him in a courtroom. That's all this is about,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: is putting him in a courtroom.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Quote.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: In the end, it seems executive growing comfort and appointing
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: regulatory special councils in the more recent era has followed
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: an ad hoc pattern with little judicial scrutiny. That's what
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the judge said in conclusion when they said, I'm.
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: Throwing this out.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: No, this is not This case against Donald Trump is bogus.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: It's not going to work on me.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Jack Smith saying, guess what, I can go above you now,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: I'm going to appeal.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: I don't care that you slap my hand. I don't
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: care that.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: By the way, you're right, I don't care that Congress
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: actually never appointed me. Because if I can just tie
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: Trump up and say that the case is back on,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: it might hurt him with one percent of the vote
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: or two percent of the vote, And in a swing state,
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: that's the difference between winning and losing. This is law fair,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: This is election interference clearly here. Now Trump has faced
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: charges stemming from Smith's investigation. What was it all about
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: simply put his possession of classified materials at his Marlogo residence.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: He pleaded not guilty to all thirty seven felony counts
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: in Smith's probe, including wilfer retention of national defense information,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: conspiracy to obstruct justice.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: And false statements.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: Trump pled not guilty to all of those charges, and
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: again the judge says, you got a problem. He was
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: never appointed by Congress. He doesn't have the power or
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: the money to do what he's doing. So we're moving on.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: And Smith has come out and said, uh, uh, guess
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: what we're going to do, exactly what the hell we
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: want to do. And everybody's going to be in favor
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of this. On the left, the media is going to
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: love this. Let me also just remind you of two
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: other things very quickly. When this ruling came down, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court issue this ruling also on Trump immunity.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Trey Goudi said this about the Supreme Court at the
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: time on Fox.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: This was back in July.
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: Listen, well, I don't think we know you. It's certainly
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: not a victory for him. I don't even think it's
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: a tie for him. I don't see how you can
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: sort out. Look, our constitution is majestically vague about what
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: presidential powers. We know the president has pardon power, but honestly,
• 13:27
  Speaker 5: commander in chief, what other powers are there? So you
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: have express, you have implied, and then you have this
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: word penumber. What's in the shadows of those express powers
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: that can only be fleshed out in litigation. The Supreme
• 13:41
  Speaker 5: Court doesn't handle litigation. So if he wants to proceed
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: on what is unequivocally a private act, he's welcome, I guess,
• 13:52
  Speaker 5: to proceed with that prosecution. But that's still going to
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: take time to assert that it is unequivocally private. This
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: is not a win for Jack Smith. How close to
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: a tie it is depends upon what the remainder. You'll
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: remember Brett. When John Roberts was confirmed, he said he
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: was a minimalist. That was the word he used. He
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: talked about judicial humility and that he was a minimalist.
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: It is not surprising to me that he wrote the
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: majority opinion. He wants to write it in a minimal way,
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: so there is no right line rule. It's going to
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: be facts specific.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: I listen to Trey there and I play that for you,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: just to remind you that the media was then having
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: to tell you a different story. Now they're like, oh,
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump's in trouble again, right, The Democrats weren't a
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: full attack mode against the Supreme Court at that time,
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: trying to deal legitimate Supreme Court saying we should pack
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the Supreme Court. John Stossel on Trump immunity and Jack
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Smith said.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: This, Kim, what does this mean?
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: That really mean for Jack Smith's prosecution. I know it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: going to be delayed now past the election, but is
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: a good chunk of a dead.
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Yes, it probably is if the lower courts do their job.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: And look, this was one of the criticisms that the
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: High Court had as all of this had been rushed,
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: that these questions of immunity and whether or not there
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: isn't a presumed or an absolute immunity for certain presidential
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: acts were something that should have been decided at the
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: outset of this case. And by the way, I'd like
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: to point out a special criticism here. If people don't
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: like this decision, it was Jack Smith. He should have
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: thought through these issues before he even brought this case,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: potentially brought more limited charges that had some consideration for
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: the possibility of presidential immunity, but this was all rushed.
• 15:44
  Speaker 6: So now what this I think, you know, ruling, very
• 15:47
  Speaker 6: careful ruling, does is order the lower court to go
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: through those one by one. And it would seem that
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: a lot of the acts that were included in these
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: charges probably will fall under some level of presidential immunity,
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: although there may be some that don't. And that's going
• 16:02
  Speaker 6: to be the tough question that the lower courts now
• 16:04
  Speaker 6: deal with.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So what this means is and again I play this
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: so you have context is very clear.
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Jack Smith says, I don't care.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I don't care about the Constitution, I don't care about
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: president community. I care about tying Donald Trump up in court.
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: That is all that I care about.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Now this also comes to another thing about tying up
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump in court. Judge Merchant is being encouraged now
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: by everyone in the media to not delay Trump's New
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: York sentencing, and they say there's no basis for another
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: delay in the law. And this has come out in
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: the last few days that former President Donald Trump's efforts
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: to dodge quote accountability this is how NBC News put
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: it for his.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Crimes is still going strong.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: But they're saying that his unhinged campaign and the president
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: should be held accountable. Trump was convicted back in May
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: on quote thirty four pilony accounts of false flying business records,
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: all to cover up interfering in the twenty sixteen presidential
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: election by paying hush money to an adult film actress
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to hide their affair quote unquote. Having already postponed this
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: is sentencing from July eleventh to September eighteenth, Trump's attorney's
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: recently asked the judge to further postpone it.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: Until after election day.
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: In response to Manhatrick, District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office deferred
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: to the judge's discretion, but noted there are strong reasons
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: that Trump's position should be rejected.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: So what are they trying to do?
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Can we just tie him up in court or even
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: in jail during this presidential election cycle, so that he
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: can't go out there and he can't campaign. That is
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: exactly what Jack Smith is. This is law fair. This
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: is all about trying to make it where Trump can't
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: just campaign against Kamala Harris. And this is what they
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: do in Russia, this is what they do in China,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: this is what they do in Venezuela, this is what
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: they do in Cuba. And now it's happening right before
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: a very eyes in this country. We better wake up
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and realize just how dangerous this is.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: I want to.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: Pivot real quick to another really important story and it
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: is one that was sent to me as in essence
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: of whistleblow by those that are serving this country about
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: our lack of readiness under the Harris Biden administration. We
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: are now being told that the US Navy is going
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: to sideline seventeen different ships because they lack the manpower
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: to operate those seventeen ships. There are not enough merchant
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: marines for the US Navy to fully man seventeen vessels,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: reportedly causing officials to plan to take them out of
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: regular operation. The Merchant Marines organization made up of civilian mariners.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Managed by a combination of federal government and the private sector,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: has lost too much manpower to quote properly crew and
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: operate ships across the fleet quote. The problem, of course,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: is these ships are at sea away from home port
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: twelve months of the year. That is what the Rear
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Admiral retired Mark Montgomery, a senior director of the Center
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: on Cyber and Technology Innovation for the Foundation for Defense
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: of Democracy said in a statement. While they are not
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: officially members of the US military, merchant marines are operators
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: of commercial ships who also serve as an auxiliary power
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: during wartime or in a national emergency. This according to
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: the Department of Transportation Administration in their own words, according
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: to Montgomery, we're desperately short of the number of people.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: There's a lack of experienced merchant mariners to crew the ships,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: and this is really a clear danger to national security. Now,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Navy's Military Sealift Command has planned to put seventeen
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: ships into extended quote unquote maintenance. The US Naval Institute
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: reported sources are now whistleblowing, saying that these are two
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: of the Lewis and Clark replenishment ships, one fleet oiler,
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: a dozen Spearhead class fast transports also known as EPFs,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: and two forward deployed Navy sea bases for forced generation
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: reset and to have their crews redistributed to other ships.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: Montgomery stressed that the issue mostly affects the merchant marines.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: This is a problem the sailors tend to mannor warships.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The merchant mariners men something that equally is important, which
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: is the logistics backbone of the Navy. We're talking about
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: the oilers, we're talking about the AMMO ships, the transportation
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: ships that move the army and marine.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: Corps across the water.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: Just like ninety percent of trade is done by ships
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: and not aircrafts, the same.
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: Thing applies at sea.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: It's too difficult, too expensive, it's not sufficient to move
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: all that stuff by aircraft, so it is moved by
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: these ships.
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: That's when we have them.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: He also made it clear that a lot of what
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: we use, for example in Afghanistan Iraq, was actually moved
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: around the world by these exact ships. And so now
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: we're just gonna guess mothball seventeen of them because we
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: don't have the man power to operate them. Which, if
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: you knew that you were back, you were, you know,
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: having problems man power, you'd probably figured out when you're
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: one ship down. This is seventeen ships down that they're
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: going to mothball into quote, We're going to bring him
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: in for you know, like a whole lot of maintenance. No,
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: you don't have the man power. That's what you don't have.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: You don't have the man power. This is putting our
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: national security at risk. And that's why the whistleblowers have
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: come forward. This, by the way, should be a part
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: of the presidential debates and the vice president of debates,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: and I hope that Trump and Vance will use this
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to their advantage to expose just how anti military these
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: individuals are, which brings me to the final thing I
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: want to put.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: On your radar screen.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: The Trump campaign is now furious as they should be,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: and are now officially opposing Harris's new attempt to abruptly
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: change the September the tenth debate rules. The Trump campaign
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: on Monday came out strongly opposing the Harris campaign sudden
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: attempt to change the September tenth debate rules on ABC
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: News from muted to unmuted microphones. Now, what's funny is
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: in the first debate, they were obsessed with the idea
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: of muting Donald Trump. It actually, I think backfired on
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden because it gave him more rope to hang
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: himself with just the you know, his stumbling and not
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: being able to answer questions and the clear cognitive decline
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: because Trump couldn't interrupt him. And so when Joe Biden
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: started talking and he had hey, ninety seconds or two
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: minutes answer question and he couldn't do it, and Trump
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: couldn't interrupt, it made it just abundantly clear and cost
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: him his presidency, right because we could all see how
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: massive the cognitive decline was of Joe Biden. So in
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saying that now the hairs pains, like, hold on
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: a second. We don't want the mute button. We want
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump to be able to interrupt, because if he's
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: able to interrupt, that'll help us. We realize it actually doesn't.
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: It actually hurts us when he's muted. It helps us
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: when he's able to interrupt, because it makes him look bad.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Harris wants an unmuted mic to save her from I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: think the other problem her word Salad's right.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: She doesn't have a teleprompter.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: So if you're the people around here show like the
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: last thing you want is for her to look like
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: a babbling idiot on stage and Trump not being able
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: to interrupt her to in essence, save her. So you
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: look at the word salads that have taken place from
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: Kamwa Harris. There are a lot of them. It's really bad.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: And if you don't believe me, I'm going to play
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a few of them. This is why they want Trump
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: to be able to talk, because they don't want this
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: to happen.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: Listen carefully.
• 24:57
  Speaker 7: I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by
• 24:59
  Speaker 7: what has been. You know, what can be unburdened by

• 27:25
  Speaker 7: have a sense of vision about what can be unburdened
• 27:29
  Speaker 7: by what has been.
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: Every one of those clips was heard at a different place,
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: every one of them, every single one of them. So
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: you want to know why they want to unmute Trump.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: This is exactly why they want to unmute Trump because
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: when you let her up there, sit up there and
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: try to and have no teleprompter. Now you know why
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: she's done no interviews. Now you know why she they're
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: hiding her from the media. Now you understand why there's
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: still even after the Democratic National Convention, no plat form
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: not there is no platform, folks, no platform on her website.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: If I was Donald Trump, I would say hell no,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: I would fight this through and through. Don't forget share
