Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Donald Trump reaches a historic trade deal with the European Union.
- 0:05Speaker 1: Europe is going to buy seven hundred and fifty billion,
- 0:12Speaker 1: we're now being told.
- 0:13Speaker 2: In US energy. This is massive.
- 0:19Speaker 1: President Trump announcing the sweeping trade agreement with the European
- 0:23Speaker 1: Union on Sunday, setting a baseline fifteen percent tariff on
- 0:29Speaker 1: European imports, including automobiles, while keeping existing fifty percent duties
- 0:35Speaker 1: on steel and aluminum in place. Now, as part of
- 0:38Speaker 1: the deal, the EU committed to purchasing seven hundred and
- 0:42Speaker 1: fifty billion in US energy production. Trump announcing the agreement
- 0:46Speaker 1: during a press conference with the European Commission president after
- 0:50Speaker 1: a private meeting at the Trump Turnberry golf.
- 0:53Speaker 2: Course in Scotland.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Here is part of what was said by the President
- 0:58Speaker 1: of United States of America at that event, where.
- 1:02Speaker 2: They say, we've reached a deal.
- 1:03Speaker 3: So we're going to do the following. The European Union
- 1:08Speaker 3: is going to agree to purchase from the United States
- 1:15Speaker 3: seven hundred and fifty billion.
- 1:17Speaker 4: Dollars worth of energy.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Seven hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of energy. They
- 1:24Speaker 3: are going to agree to invest into the United States
- 1:30Speaker 3: six hundred billion dollars more than they're investing already, so
- 1:35Speaker 3: they're investing a large amount of money.
- 1:39Speaker 4: You know what that amount of money.
- 1:41Speaker 3: Is, it's very substantial, but they're going to invest an
- 1:44Speaker 3: additional six hundred billion dollars.
- 1:48Speaker 4: They're agreeing to.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Open up their countries to trade at zero tariff, so
- 1:56Speaker 3: that's a very big factor opening up their countries. All
- 2:00Speaker 3: of the countries will be opened up to trade with
- 2:02Speaker 3: the United States at zero traff and they're agreeing to
- 2:06Speaker 3: purchase a vast amount of military equipment. We don't know
- 2:10Speaker 3: what that number is, but it's The good news is
- 2:13Speaker 3: we make the best military equipment in the world, so
- 2:16Speaker 3: sort of you have to do that until somebody tops us,
- 2:19Speaker 3: which is not.
- 2:19Speaker 2: Going to happen.
- 2:20Speaker 3: We're way ahead of every other country in terms of
- 2:23Speaker 3: the quality of the military equipment. You saw that recently
- 2:26Speaker 3: in Iran, and you see that unfortunately, you see that
- 2:30Speaker 3: often for.
- 2:32Speaker 4: All the wrong reasons.
- 2:33Speaker 3: Right, So those things are seven hundred and fifty billion,
- 2:38Speaker 3: six hundred billion. Opening up the country. We are agreeing
- 2:45Speaker 3: that the tariff straight across for automobiles and everything else
- 2:52Speaker 3: will be a straight across tariff of fifteen percent. So
- 2:56Speaker 3: we have a tariff of fifteen percent we have the
- 3:00Speaker 3: opening up of all of the European countries, which I
- 3:04Speaker 3: think I could.
- 3:05Speaker 4: Say we're essentially closed.
- 3:06Speaker 3: I mean, you weren't exactly taking our orders, you weren't
- 3:10Speaker 3: exactly taking our agriculture, and then you would have smaller things.
- 3:14Speaker 4: But for the most part, it was closed. And now
- 3:17Speaker 4: it's open.
- 3:19Speaker 3: It's open for our companies to go in and do
- 3:21Speaker 3: a good job with it. I think you'll like them.
- 3:23Speaker 3: I think you'll like it, and we will. Very importantly.
- 3:27Speaker 3: They'll be investing a lot of money. But the military
- 3:30Speaker 3: is a big number, but that's one number. We're not
- 3:32Speaker 3: determining it's going to be whatever it is, but they're
- 3:34Speaker 3: going to be purchasing hundreds of billions of dollars.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Worth of military equipment.
- 3:40Speaker 4: There very important.
- 3:42Speaker 3: That they're going to purchase seven hundred and fifty seven
- 3:46Speaker 3: hundred and fifty billion dollars worth of energy, so that's
- 3:50Speaker 3: going to be great, and six hundred billion dollars worth
- 3:54Speaker 3: of investments into the United States over and above what
- 3:58Speaker 3: they have, and I think that basically concludes the deal.
- 4:02Speaker 3: I mean, those are the main factors. I don't think
- 4:04Speaker 3: there are too many other factors other than we're going
- 4:07Speaker 3: to get along great, and we have a great relationship
- 4:11Speaker 3: now with NATO, which is largely the same I mean
- 4:14Speaker 3: not exactly but pretty close right largely, and with NATO,
- 4:19Speaker 3: as you know, they're going up to five percent from
- 4:21Speaker 3: two percent, and the relationship is very strong with NATO.
- 4:27Speaker 3: So I just want to congratulate you.
- 4:28Speaker 4: I think it's I think it's.
- 4:31Speaker 3: Great that we made a deal today instead of playing
- 4:33Speaker 3: games and maybe not making a deal at all. I
- 4:36Speaker 3: think it's I'm going to let you say, but I
- 4:39Speaker 3: think it's the biggest deal ever made.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Graduation.
- 4:47Speaker 1: This is happening live in Turnberry, Scotland at the Trump
- 4:51Speaker 1: Club there announcing this landmark deal. Now, the EU will
- 4:55Speaker 1: purchase three quarters of a trillion dollars in US energy
- 4:59Speaker 1: well also investing six hundred billion into America on top
- 5:02Speaker 1: of his existing investments. Additionally, the EU countries will be
- 5:06Speaker 1: setting tariffs on US goods and this is massive at
- 5:11Speaker 1: zero percent, and Europe agreed to purchase a vast amount
- 5:14Speaker 1: of military equipment as well, saying quote, we don't know
- 5:18Speaker 1: what the number is, but went on to note the
- 5:21Speaker 1: purchase of the military equipment would be in the hundreds
- 5:23Speaker 1: of billions of dollars. Moreover, the EU will pay a
- 5:27Speaker 1: fifteen percent tariff rate to import products into the US,
- 5:32Speaker 1: ranging from automobiles and other goods. Now, look, they had
- 5:34Speaker 1: virtually shut off much of Europe to our automobiles and
- 5:38Speaker 1: to our agriculture, beef, pork.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Chick in.
- 5:41Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. So the President saying there, quote,
- 5:45Speaker 1: so we have a so we have a tariff of
- 5:48Speaker 1: fifteen percent. We have the opening up of all of
- 5:52Speaker 1: the European countries, which I think I would say, we're
- 5:54Speaker 1: essentially closed. I mean, you weren't exactly taking our orders,
- 5:57Speaker 1: you weren't exactly taking our agriculture, and and you would
- 6:00Speaker 1: have smaller things. But for the most part, it was closed.
- 6:03Speaker 1: And now it's open. So what does that mean for
- 6:06Speaker 1: American businesses? Well, number one, this is going to be
- 6:10Speaker 1: huge because American businesses are going to be able to
- 6:14Speaker 1: now actually have the ability to get into these markets
- 6:17Speaker 1: that we've been virtually shut out of completely. The auto
- 6:21Speaker 1: industry is a great example of that, where American cars
- 6:24Speaker 1: were just unfortunately not making its way into the European
- 6:27Speaker 1: markets in any significant way.
- 6:30Speaker 2: That is a big problem.
- 6:32Speaker 1: It was unfair because we were allowing their automobiles into
- 6:34Speaker 1: this country. And this goes back to the Donald Trump promise.
- 6:39Speaker 1: He promised he was going to get us into these markets.
- 6:43Speaker 1: He promised that we was going to get us into
- 6:45Speaker 1: these markets so it would be fair for American workers
- 6:50Speaker 1: and American manufacturing. And that is exactly what just happened.
- 6:55Speaker 1: You have a present that made good on that promise.
- 7:00Speaker 1: It was a simple promise. It was one about being
- 7:03Speaker 1: about fairness. That's the simplest way I can describe it
- 7:08Speaker 1: is the President wanted it to be fair. The President
- 7:12Speaker 1: wanted it not only to be fair, but he wanted
- 7:15Speaker 1: to make sure that American workers were not left behind.
- 7:18Speaker 1: American manufacturing was at a disadvantage and we were importing
- 7:22Speaker 1: a significant amount of goods from European countries. This is massive.
- 7:29Speaker 1: Congratulations to the President of the United States America for
- 7:32Speaker 1: mania manufacturing American workers. This is huge anyway you look
- 7:35Speaker 1: at it, well done. All right, I want to take
- 7:39Speaker 1: a moment talk about the economy. You've been seeing what's
- 7:41Speaker 1: happening on Wall Street. You've seen what's been happening with
- 7:43Speaker 1: interest rates, and you've probably seen gold prices hitting all
- 7:47Speaker 1: time record highs. Why because there is uncertainty all over
- 7:52Speaker 1: the world right now, and when there is uncertain times
- 7:55Speaker 1: you want real answers about your financial stability, Well it
- 7:59Speaker 1: Kurt Elliot Precious Metals. You get more than gold and silver.
- 8:03Speaker 1: You get trusted guidance from a team that puts people
- 8:06Speaker 1: first always. You also get transparency. This is why I
- 8:12Speaker 1: recommend them. Their mission is clear. They want to help
- 8:15Speaker 1: you protect what matters most with real metals, real service,
- 8:19Speaker 1: and real clarity. Now here's why I love what they
- 8:23Speaker 1: do at kirk Elliott Precious Metals number one bullyon only approach.
- 8:28Speaker 1: They focus on investment grade metals, not overpriced quote collectibles
- 8:33Speaker 1: or gimmick products that cost you an insane amount of
- 8:36Speaker 1: money for what you're actually getting. What they do is
- 8:39Speaker 1: they sell you more metal for your money and fair
- 8:42Speaker 1: value when it's time for you to actually sell. They
- 8:45Speaker 1: also have upfront transparent pricing just eight percent when you
- 8:51Speaker 1: buy and zero commissions when you go to sell. There
- 8:55Speaker 1: are no hidden fees on top of that. Ever, that
- 8:58Speaker 1: is the reason why I reckon amend them. They also
- 9:02Speaker 1: make sure they give you personalized guidance for you. You're never
- 9:06Speaker 1: just a number, no pressure, always real answers and they
- 9:10Speaker 1: make sure that you are in control. So if you're

- 9:58Speaker 1: that is happening and the media is not covering it.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Senator rand Paul is now signaling very clearly that Jill Biden,
- 10:08Speaker 1: the former First Lady of the United States of America,
- 10:10Speaker 1: the wife of former President Joe Biden, as well as
- 10:15Speaker 1: Anthony Fauci, you remember the COVID guy, they could be
- 10:20Speaker 1: looked at in the Auto pen probe. Senator Paul saying
- 10:25Speaker 1: that the former First Lady, Joe Biden, and Anthony Fauci
- 10:28Speaker 1: absolutely could be examined during the Congress's autopen examination President
- 10:34Speaker 1: Trump has railed against his predecessor, the former President Biden,
- 10:38Speaker 1: for using the art autopen to pardon individuals during his
- 10:41Speaker 1: last few months in office. The President ordered a probe
- 10:45Speaker 1: into the signatures on various pardons in June, while GOP
- 10:48Speaker 1: lawmakers requested interviews now with several former White House staffers,
- 10:53Speaker 1: including the former first ladies and the president's doctor who
- 10:58Speaker 1: pled the fifth. They've now also gone to staffers to
- 11:01Speaker 1: testify and guess.
- 11:03Speaker 2: What they pleaded the fifth as well.
- 11:05Speaker 1: All of this playing out before the House Oversight and
- 11:07Speaker 1: Government Reform Committee. Even though Anthony Fauci has been pardoned,
- 11:14Speaker 1: there is some question whether it's a legitimate pardon. His
- 11:18Speaker 1: pardon was not signed by President Biden. That's what Senator
- 11:23Speaker 1: Paul said in a statement. It's unclear quote whether President
- 11:27Speaker 1: Biden is mentally cognitive enough of the situation to know
- 11:32Speaker 1: even who he pardoned. Hundreds and hundreds of people were
- 11:37Speaker 1: pardoned in a day by a mechanical signature from a machine.
- 11:42Speaker 1: We do know there's been testimony from the people running
- 11:45Speaker 1: the machine that they never talked to the president, and
- 11:49Speaker 1: that they talked to an assistant that works for the
- 11:52Speaker 1: President's wife, that is where the first lady comes in now.
- 11:57Speaker 2: Biden had previously argued that.
- 12:00Speaker 1: Past administrations have used the autopendicign government paperwork, proving its legality. However,
- 12:08Speaker 1: Republicans have well refused to let go of the criticism
- 12:12Speaker 1: regarding his signature on multiple pardons that he may not
- 12:15Speaker 1: have known about, meaning they would be in theory no
- 12:18Speaker 1: and void. Who knew we weren't being led by Joe
- 12:24Speaker 1: Biden but were being run by some kind of chief
- 12:26Speaker 1: of staff, some chief of staff that worked for his wife.
- 12:31Speaker 1: That's something to a lot of Americans to know. They
- 12:35Speaker 1: want to know who was the person that was granting
- 12:38Speaker 1: power of pardons, who was the person that could have
- 12:41Speaker 1: taken the country to war, who was the person that
- 12:44Speaker 1: was never elected?
- 12:45Speaker 2: Senator Paul went on to say, adding.
- 12:48Speaker 1: Quote, so I think the way the best way to
- 12:51Speaker 1: sort this out is you have to go to court.
- 12:54Speaker 1: And I think the easiest way to get this into
- 12:56Speaker 1: court is is they should indicate.
- 13:00Speaker 2: What's gonna happen next.
- 13:01Speaker 1: They should indict, for example, Anthony Fauci for lying to Congress,
- 13:05Speaker 1: and he will make a defense that he's been pardon
- 13:09Speaker 1: That's what again, the senator said today. Senator Paul also
- 13:13Speaker 1: pointed out that the autopen was not used to sign
- 13:16Speaker 1: the pardon for Hunter Biden. We know that Hunter Biden's
- 13:19Speaker 1: pardon was signed directly by the President of the United
- 13:22Speaker 1: States of America. He went on to say, quote, I
- 13:25Speaker 1: think there is a question whether these pardons are even valid.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, when he had to pardon his son, he
- 13:32Speaker 1: didn't take any chances.
- 13:33Speaker 2: By running it through the auto pen.
- 13:36Speaker 1: The pardon f Rountter Biden for any crimes committed over
- 13:38Speaker 1: the last decade. Any crimes was done by personal hand
- 13:44Speaker 1: signature by Joe Biden himself, and not by the auto pen.
- 13:49Speaker 1: So if you look at this story, there's two major
- 13:52Speaker 1: questions that everyone should be asking. Number one, why not
- 13:56Speaker 1: indict a guy like Anthony Fauci for line to Congress
- 14:01Speaker 1: and see if he uses the I've been pardoned in
- 14:04Speaker 1: court argument? And then it brings up the big question,
- 14:08Speaker 1: does an auto pen signature that the President may not
- 14:11Speaker 1: have known about does it actually count?
- 14:15Speaker 2: In fact?
- 14:16Speaker 1: How many different And this is an even bigger question.
- 14:21Speaker 1: Pardons came through the White House that the President had
- 14:24Speaker 1: no clue even happened. These are the real questions that
- 14:29Speaker 1: the American people deserve answers to and the President obviously
- 14:33Speaker 1: making it clear that he's willing to get to the
- 14:36Speaker 1: bottom of it to make sure it was done the
- 14:39Speaker 1: right way.
- 14:41Speaker 2: I got to ask you a question.
- 14:42Speaker 1: Are you one of those that is just so tired
- 14:44Speaker 1: of giving your money to radical left woke companies that
- 14:47Speaker 1: actually are fighting against your values every day?
- 14:51Speaker 2: Well, there are certain bills that you pay.
- 14:53Speaker 1: Every month that if you can go with a conservative company,
- 14:57Speaker 1: why not do it?
- 14:58Speaker 2: In fact, why not go.
- 15:00Speaker 1: With a conservative company that actually takes part of your
- 15:02Speaker 1: bill every month that you're going to pay to somebody,
- 15:04Speaker 1: and they give it back to organizations that support your
- 15:07Speaker 1: First and your Second Amendment rights, that support the rights
- 15:10Speaker 1: of unborn children, that stand with our military, are first responders,
- 15:16Speaker 1: and so many wounded warriors that need help. Well, that
- 15:20Speaker 1: bill I'm talking about is your cell phone bill. And
- 15:24Speaker 1: I've been telling you for a long time about Patriot Mobile.
- 15:27Speaker 1: But there's no better time to switch than right now.
- 15:30Speaker 1: Not only does Patriot Mobile operate on all three major
- 15:34Speaker 1: networks in this country, yeah, all three. That means you
- 15:36Speaker 1: get the same great coverage you're used to right now,
- 15:39Speaker 1: but you also make a difference with every call you
- 15:41Speaker 1: make and every text.
- 15:42Speaker 2: You make, And why would you want to give your
- 15:44Speaker 2: money to Big Mobile?
- 15:45Speaker 1: Big Mobile has been giving big donations to democratic causes,
- 15:50Speaker 1: democratic candidates, and radical left organizations. I'm talking about organizations
- 15:54Speaker 1: that actually support abortion. That is why I want you
- 15:59Speaker 1: to switch right now to Patriot Mobile. Go ahead and
- 16:04Speaker 1: make the switch, and it's so easy. All you have
- 16:07Speaker 1: to do is simply call Patriot Mobiles one hundred percent
- 16:10Speaker 1: US based team from the comfort of your home or
- 16:12Speaker 1: your office and they'll have you activated in minutes. And
- 16:16Speaker 1: if you're still locked in a contract, not a problem.

- 16:22Speaker 1: dollars per device. Keep your same number, keep your phone,
- 16:25Speaker 1: or upgrade do a new one. So back to my point,
- 16:28Speaker 1: what are you waiting for? Call Patriot Mobile today and
- 16:31Speaker 1: make a difference every single day with every call you make.
- 16:35Speaker 1: Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson. That's Patriot Mobile dot

- 16:54Speaker 1: That's Patriot mobile dot com slash Ferguson or nine seven
- 16:57Speaker 1: to two Patriot. Let me also one other thing about
- 17:01Speaker 1: these pardons. I don't think that there is anyone out
- 17:06Speaker 1: there that it looks at this in an honest way
- 17:09Speaker 1: that actually believes that Joe Biden knew who was getting pardoned.
- 17:14Speaker 2: I believe that he knew his son. I do.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I do believe he knew his son was getting a pardon.
- 17:20Speaker 1: He signed it. It was important to him. It was
- 17:23Speaker 1: something that he wanted to happen. He wanted to make
- 17:26Speaker 1: sure it was done the right way. But Senator Paul
- 17:30Speaker 1: and the way that he described it, he's absolutely right.
- 17:33Speaker 2: Take a listen to this.
- 17:35Speaker 5: But I've got to get to another issue with you, sir,
- 17:37Speaker 5: because the New York Times is reporting that Biden's Joe
- 17:40Speaker 5: Biden's former chief of staff, Jeff Ziance.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Was the one who approved the auto.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Pens use for the eleventh hour pardons. That's the night
- 17:48Speaker 5: before Joe Biden left office, they started pardoning all these people.
- 17:52Speaker 5: The pardons included a preemptive partum for General Mark Millie,
- 17:57Speaker 5: a preemptive pardum for doctor Anthony Fauci. Now you are
- 18:01Speaker 5: reissuing your criminal referral of Anthony Fauci to the Department
- 18:05Speaker 5: of Justice. Your reaction to now Jeff Sience being the
- 18:10Speaker 5: one who pardoned Fauci. Okay, it wasn't Joe Biden.
- 18:13Speaker 6: He was pardoned by Jeff Sience.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 18:16Speaker 4: My first question is who knew?
- 18:18Speaker 7: Who knew that there was a president Jeff Zience and
- 18:21Speaker 7: he was in charge of pardons. I mean, it is
- 18:24Speaker 7: really shocking and on all likelihood criminal. Now will they
- 18:28Speaker 7: try to backpedal and say Biden was somethow involved?
- 18:31Speaker 2: I think that's what they'll try.
- 18:33Speaker 7: But an autopen pardon, preemptive pardon, there's a lot to
- 18:36Speaker 7: go on here. The only way we could actually get
- 18:39Speaker 7: this into court is hopefully the DOJ would do.
- 18:42Speaker 2: Their job and died Anthony Fauci.
- 18:44Speaker 7: For the felony of Lyne to Congress and then take
- 18:46Speaker 7: it to court and then they can plead that you know,
- 18:49Speaker 7: he has been pardoned, But then the court could judge
- 18:52Speaker 7: whether the pardon is valid. So the only way we
- 18:54Speaker 7: get this into court is someone who's been pardoned will
- 18:57Speaker 7: have to be indicted, and I would promote the Anthony
- 19:00Speaker 7: Falci is a prime specimen for this.
- 19:03Speaker 2: A prime specimen for this.
- 19:07Speaker 1: It is clear that Senator ram Paul is giving a
- 19:12Speaker 1: play to the Republican leadership of this is how you
- 19:16Speaker 1: do this, This is what we should do. Senator Van Holland,
- 19:21Speaker 1: by the way, on CNN, adding this again to what
- 19:27Speaker 1: has happened so far, and I want you to hear
- 19:30Speaker 1: what he had to say to John Berman at CNN.
- 19:34Speaker 6: The New York Times spoke to former President Biden and
- 19:37Speaker 6: published a story overnight on the use of autopens for
- 19:41Speaker 6: some of the commutations impartans at the end of his term,
- 19:44Speaker 6: and one of the things that was reported was that
- 19:47Speaker 6: President Biden, while he approved of the commutations on classes
- 19:51Speaker 6: of people, he didn't necessarily sign off on every individual
- 19:56Speaker 6: one directly. How important do you feel that is and
- 19:59Speaker 6: where you think this issue goes now.
- 20:02Speaker 8: John, I was just reading those reports this morning as well.
- 20:06Speaker 8: My understanding is that you know, President Biden did look
- 20:11Speaker 8: at these pardons, whether or not they came in classes
- 20:14Speaker 8: of pardons, like these are people being pardoned because they
- 20:17Speaker 8: had mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses, and he
- 20:21Speaker 8: didn't think that that was appropriate that they'd served their
- 20:24Speaker 8: time well as opposed to each individual one I will
- 20:27Speaker 8: have to take a look at that entire issue.
- 20:30Speaker 1: Wow, my understanding is that you know, President Biden did
- 20:33Speaker 1: look at these pardons. So the question now becomes, who's
- 20:38Speaker 1: Lyne who is lying to the American people, an old
- 20:42Speaker 1: senile man that covered up the cognitive decline and the
- 20:46Speaker 1: auto pen that is proof that he wasn't signing these
- 20:50Speaker 1: or or could it be that the people around the
- 20:54Speaker 1: President of the United States America knew exactly what was
- 20:57Speaker 1: going on and they say we're going to hand out
- 21:01Speaker 1: pardons like candy to anybody that wants won using an
- 21:05Speaker 1: auto pen without the president even knowing about it.
- 21:09Speaker 2: I think we all know the real answer to that question.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Center Lindsey Graham went on Meet the Press and was
- 21:18Speaker 1: very angry. He was angry about the lies the medium
- 21:22Speaker 1: told over Russian intelligence and the Russian collusion story. Back
- 21:27Speaker 1: in two thoy and sixteen. Lindsey Graham having this to say,
- 21:33Speaker 1: he was in Congress, you may remember then, and he
- 21:37Speaker 1: knew exactly what was going on in sixteen, and now
- 21:40Speaker 1: he's got three seats to show what the Biden regime
- 21:43Speaker 1: was doing to try to overthrow the will of the
- 21:45Speaker 1: people with a coup attempt against Donald Trump.
- 21:48Speaker 2: Here is Lindsey on NBC. Take a listen.
- 21:53Speaker 9: All right, well, let me ask you about this twist
- 21:55Speaker 9: that happened this week. President Trump that seemed to want
- 21:59Speaker 9: to try to shut down questions about the Epstein files
- 22:02Speaker 9: by accusing former President Obama of treason. This came as
- 22:07Speaker 9: his Director of National Intelligence, Toulci Gabbert, declassified documents which
- 22:11Speaker 9: alleged top Obama officials manufactured information related to Russian interference
- 22:16Speaker 9: in the twenty sixteen election. Now, Senator, as you are
- 22:19Speaker 9: well aware, this actually contradicts a bipartisan Senate intelligence report
- 22:24Speaker 9: led by Marco Rubio, which found that Russia did, in
- 22:27Speaker 9: fact interfere in the election. Do you actually believe that
- 22:31Speaker 9: for President Obama committed treason?
- 22:35Speaker 10: Well, I think somebody needs to look at what we found.
- 22:39Speaker 10: The Intel Committee looked at the matter, and they said,
- 22:42Speaker 10: in twenty seventeen, the intelligence analysis of twenty seventeen showing
- 22:48Speaker 10: that Russia was trying to interfere.
- 22:51Speaker 4: In our election was real. They didn't achieve their goal.
- 22:55Speaker 10: But what she found, miss Gabbert, is that in twenty sixteen,
- 23:01Speaker 10: the intelligence community, he told President Obama.
- 23:04Speaker 4: There's no evidence that Russia was involved.
- 23:06Speaker 10: In trying to change the outcome of the election, and
- 23:09Speaker 10: he supposedly told a group of people keep looking and
- 23:13Speaker 10: the analysis changed.
- 23:15Speaker 4: So what we're looking at is.
- 23:17Speaker 10: Did what role did Obama play in twenty sixteen to
- 23:21Speaker 10: change the narrative that resulted in twenty seventeen. I'm not
- 23:24Speaker 10: alleging he committed treason, but I am saying it bothers me.
- 23:28Speaker 10: It's disturbing that this is new information. Now you got
- 23:32Speaker 10: the number two guy at the FBI, don mister Bongino,
- 23:36Speaker 10: saying he's seeing things that has changed his life. And
- 23:40Speaker 10: I assume now he's referring to Russia. So the best
- 23:43Speaker 10: way to handle this is if there are if there
- 23:46Speaker 10: is evidence of a crime being committed or suspected evidence
- 23:50Speaker 10: of a crime being committed, create a special counsel to
- 23:53Speaker 10: look at it.
- 23:54Speaker 4: I think that's the best way to go.
- 23:56Speaker 9: Okay, let me follow up with you on your calls
- 23:59Speaker 9: for a special council investigation.
- 24:02Speaker 2: Let's just pause there.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Lindsey Graham just called for a special prosecutor to investigate this.
- 24:10Speaker 2: He knows what he's saying. By the way, when he
- 24:13Speaker 2: said this.
- 24:14Speaker 1: He also went after the Washington Post and The New
- 24:17Speaker 1: York Times, and he went after the media for how
- 24:22Speaker 1: they covered the Russian collusion story, and then in essence
- 24:26Speaker 1: they were in on it as well.
- 24:28Speaker 4: I think that's the best way to go.
- 24:30Speaker 9: Okay, let me follow up with you on your calls
- 24:32Speaker 9: for a special council investigation. As you know, Senator, there
- 24:37Speaker 9: was already a Trump appointed special council at the time
- 24:41Speaker 9: investigating the origins of the Russia probe, but did not
- 24:44Speaker 9: find any evidence of political interference. And Senator, at the time,
- 24:49Speaker 9: you agreed with the findings of the intelligence community. I
- 24:52Speaker 9: want to play back what you said at the time.
- 24:54Speaker 10: Take a look, ye, the Russians did it. It was
- 24:57Speaker 10: the Russians who tried to interfere in our election. Every
- 24:59Speaker 10: memory where the committee agrees it was the Russians. They
- 25:02Speaker 10: didn't change the outcome, but they did release information embarrassing
- 25:06Speaker 10: to the Democratic Party.
- 25:07Speaker 4: It did affect Hillary Clinton.
- 25:09Speaker 10: There's only one person in Washington that I know of
- 25:12Speaker 10: that has any doubt about what Russia did in our
- 25:14Speaker 10: election as President Trump.
- 25:16Speaker 9: Senator, are you now saying that you don't believe that
- 25:20Speaker 9: Russia tried to interfere in the twenty.
- 25:22Speaker 10: Sixteen election, Well, what I am saying is that you
- 25:26Speaker 10: left a lot out.
- 25:27Speaker 4: Here's called the Horowitz report.
- 25:29Speaker 10: Is the Mueller investigation was crooked and rotten to the corps.
- 25:33Speaker 10: The Washington Post and the New York Times got a
- 25:35Speaker 10: pull up surprise for reporting on Trump's campaigns relationship with Russia.
- 25:41Speaker 10: It was all bs at the time. I didn't know
- 25:44Speaker 10: any of that. At the time. I didn't know that
- 25:47Speaker 10: they were manufacturing evidence to get PHISA warrants.
- 25:50Speaker 4: There was a confirmation bias.
- 25:52Speaker 10: Durham didn't say there was no political bias. He said
- 25:56Speaker 10: quite the opposite. He said, every time a FISA warrant
- 25:59Speaker 10: would saw it in the Muhler world, they got it.
- 26:04Speaker 10: And the errors made to get warrants in this space
- 26:08Speaker 10: were a lot greater than they were in anything not
- 26:11Speaker 10: involving Trump. But what I'm saying is that this is
- 26:14Speaker 10: new evidence. This is something I didn't know. You didn't
- 26:17Speaker 10: know that. In twenty sixteen, Obama suggested, I don't like
- 26:21Speaker 10: the outcome that there's no evidence Russia was involved. Well,
- 26:24Speaker 10: now we all say Russia was involved, but in twenty
- 26:27Speaker 10: sixteen they said Russia wasn't involved.
- 26:30Speaker 4: What's that happened. Let's get a special counsel hold on
- 26:33Speaker 4: et Center.
- 26:33Speaker 9: As you know, former President Obama has waited.
- 26:36Speaker 1: Through her spokes By the way, do you notice how
- 26:39Speaker 1: nervous Christian Welker is at NBC News over this. She's
- 26:42Speaker 1: nervous because she feels that they're losing the narrative. And
- 26:48Speaker 1: then Lindsey Graham goes into NBC News's reporting. He's like,
- 26:54Speaker 1: I talked about Washington posting your time, so I'll talk
- 26:56Speaker 1: about you guys too.
- 26:57Speaker 10: Let's get a special counsel hold on, et cetera.
- 26:59Speaker 9: As you know, former President Obama has waded through a spokesperson.
- 27:02Speaker 4: He says, that's just patently false.
- 27:04Speaker 9: I actually spoke to Susan Miller, who's a former senior
- 27:07Speaker 9: CIA officer who helped oversee the twenty seventeen intelligence assessment
- 27:11Speaker 9: on Russian interference. She says it's completely false that Obama
- 27:15Speaker 9: or anyone else asked them to change or sway their investigators.
- 27:19Speaker 9: She says, they all, she says, and she's a Republican,
- 27:23Speaker 9: says they all want to quit if that had happened. Senator,
- 27:26Speaker 9: are you trying to rewrite history to distract from the
- 27:29Speaker 9: Epstein matter?
- 27:30Speaker 10: Senator No, I'm trying to let you know and the
- 27:35Speaker 10: media know that we found something we.
- 27:37Speaker 4: Didn't know before. At the end of the day, I'm
- 27:40Speaker 4: not calling.
- 27:40Speaker 10: For a prosecution against President Obama for treason, but I
- 27:44Speaker 10: am calling for an investigation. Mister Miller also said there
- 27:48Speaker 10: was no credible evidence that President Trump colluded with the Russians.
- 27:53Speaker 10: For years and months and days and weeks, people had
- 27:58Speaker 10: their lives turned upside down, chasing the mullered narrative that
- 28:02Speaker 10: Trump was in bed with the Russians, that the Trump
- 28:05Speaker 10: campaign was colluding with the Russians.
- 28:08Speaker 4: The only people colluding with the Russians.
- 28:10Speaker 10: Were the hill or a Clinton campaign and Christopher Steel
- 28:13Speaker 10: manufacturing a document to get warrants against Carter Page based
- 28:18Speaker 10: on lies and falsehoods.
- 28:20Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm very familiar with it.
- 28:22Speaker 10: What you don't seem to acknowledge is there something new
- 28:25Speaker 10: being found. Rather than reinventing the wheel here, let's go
- 28:29Speaker 10: back to a special Council model to look at this
- 28:32Speaker 10: something new, something new as statements by President Obama.
- 28:37Speaker 4: I don't like your analysis.
- 28:39Speaker 10: Russia wasn't involved here in twenty sixty Center.
- 28:42Speaker 4: You're saying there's something new.
- 28:43Speaker 9: This report goes back to twenty twenty.
- 28:46Speaker 4: It's five years old.
- 28:47Speaker 9: There's actually nothing new in this report and nothing that
- 28:50Speaker 9: changes any conlusion.
- 28:51Speaker 4: But I want to talk about nover is new to me.
- 28:55Speaker 4: I did say it's new to me trying to speak
- 28:58Speaker 4: this stuff fronder the rug, and that's not right.
- 29:00Speaker 9: But Senator, you know that at the time you said
- 29:02Speaker 9: you did believe the assessments and the multiple investigations.
- 29:06Speaker 4: But let me move on to Gaza. Let's talk about that.
- 29:08Speaker 1: I love how fast by the way She's like, let's
- 29:11Speaker 1: move on to Gaza. Lindsey Graham making it pretty clear.
- 29:16Speaker 1: I'm not calling for prosecution Obama for Trees. I'm calling
- 29:18Speaker 1: for an investigation, and you're trying to sweep this stuff
- 29:21Speaker 1: under the rug.
- 29:22Speaker 2: And that's not right. And what we've learned now is.
- 29:25Speaker 1: Completely different than what we were told in twenty sixteen
- 29:32Speaker 1: we relied to. So what I said then is completely
- 29:36Speaker 1: different than the reality in twenty twenty five of what
- 29:40Speaker 1: we're now learning because of these documents that have been released.
- 29:43Speaker 2: And I think it's pretty clear that the.
- 29:46Speaker 1: Media now is trying to act like there's nothing there, right,
- 29:50Speaker 1: that there's no there there, like they just oh, there's
- 29:52Speaker 1: nothing to nothing to see here, nothing to talk about here,
- 29:57Speaker 1: nothing to men, nothing at all, just no, no, everything's.
- 30:03Speaker 2: You know, look the other way.
- 30:05Speaker 1: There's nothing here here, everything's just it's totally different.
- 30:08Speaker 2: And he's saying, we got new intel. We were lied to.
- 30:12Speaker 1: What I said back then was based on a different
- 30:14Speaker 1: set of of intel was based on a different set
- 30:19Speaker 1: of information. It was based on a very different set
- 30:24Speaker 1: of information and intel we.
- 30:27Speaker 2: Were lied to.
- 30:29Speaker 1: So you want to act like what I was saying
- 30:32Speaker 1: back then is somehow accurate. I guess back then, but
- 30:38Speaker 1: not now. We have new information. And if we have
- 30:41Speaker 1: new information, why would I not change my assessment? And
- 30:47Speaker 1: you're trying to sweep it under the rug by the way,
- 30:49Speaker 1: he's absolutely right about that, like absolutely one thousand percent
- 30:56Speaker 1: right about all of this. Don't forget share this podcast
- 31:02Speaker 1: please with your family and your friends wherever they are,
- 31:06Speaker 1: and I will see you back here tomorrow
