  Speaker 1: It is news that many did not see coming. A

  Speaker 1: Ted Cruz Center. Nice to be with you in studio today.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: You and I were just sitting outside watching this big

  Speaker 1: announcement and before I play Garland and what he had
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to say on a scout on one to ten. How
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: surprised are you that he came out and said there's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a special prosecutor for a sitting president. Yeah, I'm not
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: surprised at all. Garland had to do this. He was
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: backed into the corner the instant. They found yet more documents,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: first at the Penn Center, then in the garage, you know,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: by the corvette. I don't know if they're like under
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: the spare tire where exactly they were. And then we discovered, oops,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: we found a third bunch of documents at the residence somewhere.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's you in the cloak closet,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: stuffed into his shoes. It's not clear Garland is miserable
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: doing this, but he had no choice. It was like
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: why a hostage video. I mean, it's face was, oh

  Speaker 1: damn deal. This makes the bidendoj's efforts to go after

  Speaker 1: dot com slash Verdict Center. As you mentioned a moment ago,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: take a listen for everybody out there. This is I
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: call it the Garland hostage video. When announcing a special
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: prosecutor to look into the sitting president nine States of America.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Earlier today, I signed an order appointing Robert her a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: special Counsel for the matter I've just described. The document
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: authorizes him to investigate whether any person or entity violated
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: the law in connection with this matter. The Special Council
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: will not be subject to the day to day supervision
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: of any official of the Department, but he must comply
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: with the regulations, procedures, and policies of the Department. Mister
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Herr has a long and distinguished career as a prosecutor.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: In two thousand and three, he joined the Department's Criminal Division,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: where he worked on counter terrorism, corporate fraud, and appellate matters.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: From two thousand and seven until twenty fourteen, mister Hurr
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: served as an assistant US Attorney for the District of Maryland,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: where he prosecuted matters ranging from violent crime to financial fraud.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: In twenty seventeen, mister Hurr rejoined the Department as the
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General. In twenty eighteen, he was
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: nominated and confirmed to serve as a US Attorney for
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the District of Maryland. As US Attorney, he supervised some
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of the departments more important national security, public corruption, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: other high profile matters. I will ensure that mister Hurr
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: receives all the resources he needs to conduct his work.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: As I have said before, I strongly believe that the
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: normal processes of this Department can handle all investigations with integrity,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: but under the regulation, the extraordinary circumstances here require the
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: appointment of a special counsel for this matter. This appointment
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: underscores for the public the Department's commitment to both independence
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: and accountability in particularly sensitive matters, and to making decisions
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: indisputably guided only by the facts and the law. I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: am confident that mister Herr will carry out his responsibility
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in an even handed and urgent manner, and in an
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: accordance with the highest traditions of this Department. Thank you all.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: Have you ever spoken to the President about this investigation? Sir,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: no questions. He walked out there as fast as he could.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: You see him say it this way, you can tell
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: he's like, I've lost control. I can't protect Joe Biden now.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And if you look at a special prosecutor, they're gonna
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: dig and people are going to ask you this question.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: So I'm going to ask it. Who is this special prosecutor?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: What do we know about him? Is he part of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the swamp or a guy that may actually do the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: job the right way? So let me say a couple
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: of things for the folks who are watching this on YouTube.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: And this is one of our video episodes. You were
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: able to watch that you were able to actually see
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Merrick Garland see the absolute pain and agony. For the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: folks who are listening to this in audio, I can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: just convey to you that I'm pretty sure the whole
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: time Merrick Garland was actually blinking sos. Yeah, And just
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: take my word for it. That visual que is there,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: you know, it's striking. At the end of that clip,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: he's asked a question, one question from a reporter. Have
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: you talked to Joe Biden about this? And Merrick Garland
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: rural turns walks away. We don't answer. No, stinkin questions
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: at the Department of Justice, no interest in accountability, no
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: interest in that's a pretty important question. What conversation have
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: you had with Joe Biden about this? Unwilling to answer it.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Who is Robert her I don't know. I suspect we're
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: going to hear a lot of discussion about that in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the next several days coming forward, the next several weeks
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: coming forward. I've met him. I don't know him well.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: He was a former clerk to Chief Justice William Rehnquist,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as was I. He clerked I think six years after
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I did, so we didn't overlap, but the world of
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: clerks is a pretty small, little ancestuous world. Before that,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: he clerk for Alex Kazinski, who was a judge on
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit, was at the time one of the
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: top conservative appellate judges in the country. Those are good signs.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Most people who clerked for Kazinski and rank Quist not liberal.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Our right of center, not one hundred percent ranks. There
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: are Rankuist clerks who are left of center, but most people,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: if you're Kazinski rank Quist, are right of center. He's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: been a prosecutor much of his career, a prosecutor or
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a lawyer in private practice. I will say one one
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: huge red flag at the outset is Robert Herr was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein's right hand and for people that forget Rod
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Rosenstein and how much of a figure he has been
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: over the last several years, explained that. So let's walk
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: through who was Rod Rosenstein. Rod Rosenstein was the deputy
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Attorney General under Donald Trump when Jeff Sessions became Attorney General.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: That appointment and Trump appointed Rod Rosenstein. That appointment was
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: a tragic mistake that visited enormous grief on the Trump
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: White House and the Trump presidency. Rod Rosenstein had been
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: the US attorney under Barack Obama for the state of Maryland.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: He was the top prosecutor for the Department of Justice
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in Maryland in the Obama DOJ. Look, Rod is not
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a left winger, right, but he's a company man. He's
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a DOJ company man. And if you look at how
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice operates, all right. So number one,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: like most places in Washington, there's an alphabet soup, so
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the AG is at the top. The number two official
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice is the Deputy AG. And
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: in the acronym world, that's called the DAG. The DAG
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: is essentially and everyone calls him the DAG. The DAG
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: is essentially the chief operating officer of the agency. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the DAG runs DJ day to day. And the way
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: the DAG does that is the DAG has a series
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: of lawyers reporting to him who are what are called
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a DAGs, which are associate deputy attorneys General. I was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: an a DAG in the George W. Bush Department of Justice.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: I was an associate deputy Attorney general in each of
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the A DAGs is responsible for helping the DAG run
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. Now you have multiple a DAGs,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and then you have one, this is where Washington really
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: does get ridiculous. One who is the principal associate deputy
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: attorney general who's known as the paydag. You can't make
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: this up. I'm not. I'm really not. That's the amazingly
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: in Washington could this actually make sense to people? So
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: when Rod Rosenstein was the DAG, he appointed as his paydag,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: in other words, as his principal guy, his right hand
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Robert her Now Rod Rosenstein is the one you'll remember
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Jeff's sessions early on recused himself from the Russia investigation.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: So Rod Rosenstein was responsible for that absolute garbage. I've
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: an investigation it was look as listeners of this pod no.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: My last book, Justice Corrupted. By the way, if you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: haven't bought Justice Corrupted, go by Justice Corrupted. There's an
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: entire chapter that will walk you through what Rod Rosenstein
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: did with the Russian Vistic investigation, with the corruption, with
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: the disaster. Rod Rosenstein is the one who appointed Robert Muller.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about appointing special counsels, Rod Rosenstein
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: is the one who appointed Robert Muller started the whole
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Russia fiasco to begin with, and Robert her was Rosenstein's
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: right hand. Now about a year into it, her got
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: appointed US Attorney for Maryland, the job Rosenstein had left,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and so he succeeded him and took over his US attorney.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: What I don't know, and will this will come out
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: in the next few days, is how involved her was
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in the whole Russia disaster, in the Steel dossier, in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the wire taps and surveilling President Trump. I don't know
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: his involvement or not, but we're gonna find that. We're
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: gonna find out and it's gonna matter a lot. The
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: fact that he was Rosenstein's right hand is not an
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: encouraging sign. Let's talk about the documents. There's two timelines
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that I think are extremely important. One the timeline of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: how many years these documents were not in a secure location.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: If you look at the timeline of when the Pen
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Center was even created, there are gaps of years where
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: these documents had to be in other places. I've talked
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: to people that have said they think these documents could
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: have been separated some I'm going to his house, to
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: his garage, so I'm going to the Pen Center. They
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: could have been separated multiple times. They could have been
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: also moved multiple times. And I doubt that it was
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: attorneys that were hired every time to move these documents
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: that he didn't know he had, even though they claimed
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: even this last week, which I think is still absurd, Oh,
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: my attorneys were packing up my office. Attorneys are not
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: traditionally moving companies. But if they were, how many other
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: times did they move these documents. The second timeline is
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: how long did you have these documents from the beginning,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Not just that, but also when did everybody know about this?
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: And it was for election? Day and there wasn't a
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: single leak on this before the midterms. Yeah, so the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: timeline they've laid out some of the timeline. We'll find
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: out if that timeline is real or not. We don't
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: know right now. But what they are admitting they claim
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: they first found these documents on November second. Now, November second,
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: if you look at a calendar, is before November eighth,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: which was election day. Now do you think it might
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: have been a problem if when they found them on
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: November second, they had admitted they found them on November second. Sure,
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: there's a reason they didn't tell anyone until after election
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: day because it let the press just focus on an
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: attack Donald Trump. Donald Trump, This is terrible, Look Biden,
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: how could you be so irresponsible? He? You know, everyone
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: knows you would never leave. In fact, we have one
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: of those Biden clips to remind people. Take a list
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: and look at this. This is Biden grand standing and
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: this is going to come back to haunt him, I
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: think for probably the next two years of his presidency
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: at bare minimum. Take a look at this. When you
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: on the floor of Marlago, what did you think to yourself,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: looking at that image, how that could possibly happen? How
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: on anyone could be that irresponsible? And I thought what
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: data was in there that may compromise sources and methods.
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: By that I mean names of people who helped, etc.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: And it's just totally irresponsible. Now you look at that
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: before before I get your response. Okay, let's look at
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: the last question he answered today on this where he
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: was asked like, how could you be so stupid, mister president,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: to have documents literally in your garage? Here it is
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: laid next year corvette. What were you thinking? Let me, uh,
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: We're gonna get a chance to speak on all this
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: God William soon. But I said earlier this week people,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: and by the way, my corvette is in a lock garage. Okay,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: so it's not like you're sitting out in the street
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: at any rate. Yes, as well as my corvette. But
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: as I said earlier this week, people know I take
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: classified documents and classified materials seriously, No you don't. They're
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: in your garage, man, Ben. All I gotta say is
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: karma is a bit yeah. Like the Democrats and the
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: press have been grandstanding, had been ridiculing Donald Trump, had
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: been going after him like crazy. At this point, it
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: appears Biden just keeps finding classified documents. First in the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Penn Center, then in the garage next to the corvet
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: at by the way. They also said not just in
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the garage, they said, and in the room adjoining the garage.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: They haven't said what room that is. Now, Look, most
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: houses I've been in, what is the room adjoining the garage?
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: A bathroom? Yeah, maybe the washing machine room or an
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: outside storage room with outside entry that's not exactly secure. Like,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, but I think they
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: don't want to say what it is because like the
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: other the basement bathroom server right for Hill it is.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's what's there. Maybe he's got Hillary servers. I
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: don't know that that's there. There's their speculation. Look, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: then Merritt Garland said, oh yeah, and they found something else,
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Like they didn't say where. I don't know if it's like,
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you know, under his pillow he sleeps snuggling it. Now,
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: I gotta say it's a little bit weird. And to
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: be honest, it's weird that Trump has these documents too.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not now I will say past presidents, all of
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: them have had disputes with the Archives over their papers. Yes,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: they want it for the Presidential Library, they want it
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: for their story, they want it for their time and
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: off is to show their accomplishments. I get that. But
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: to be clear so people understand this, the vice president
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: cannot declassify anything while they're not. He is zero authority
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: to declassify anything. And listen, I have served in the Senate.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I've never served as president or vice president, although I
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: tried damn hard, but I haven't. You know, Joe Biden
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: spent forty years in the Senate. I can tell you
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: in the Senate there is a zero point zero percent
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: chance that I have a classified document anywhere, because I've
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: never taken a classified document out of the skift. Like
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in the Senate, the only place you handle classified documents
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: is in the secure room in the basement of the Senate.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: And if people missed our last podcasts, you talked about
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: the skift. We talked about the rules and the regulations
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: and the protections of classified documents so that things like
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: this literally don't happen. Go back and listen that. Because
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: you explained how it works for senators, how it works
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: for people to have top secret clearance how it works
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: for people that work in our government, and having them
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: in your garage is never an appropriate location. Look, when
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: I was at the Department of Justice as an associate
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: Deputy Attorney General, I had a safe in my office,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a big safe that when I had classified documents there,
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: you would put in the safe and you would lock
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: the safe. The executive branch you encounter more classified documents,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: so it's less surprising with presidents. It's interesting that Biden
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: as vice president seems to have these classified documents laying
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: around everywhere. One of the leagues said that these documents
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: dealt with Ukraine. Some of these did one of the
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: leagues that also ran and possibly China. There's a lot
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: of money that came in from anonymous donors to the
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Biden pen center. Forty plus million dollars were being funded
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: by communist China on China in the place funded by
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: the Chinese. That's a good idea, yeah, and a place that,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: let's be clear understand it was not considered a secure location.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: He also obviously went off script. I'm sure staff is
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: furious that he said, well, it's where my corvette is
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: and it's locked in my garage, Like Hey, that's a
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Biden vault here. Everybody calmed down. But when I mean,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: this is not a secure location, especially before he became
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the president. Again, like there's still people around his house
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in Delaware now that because he's the president. But in
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: this time I was telling the two time frames. There
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: was years here where he had no Secret Service protection,
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: no protection at all. Vice presidents don't get protection afterwards.
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Usually they're pretty much on their own afterwards. He was
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: gone from this residency in Delaware, which means there was
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: no one watching these documents. Well, but it was bias Corvette.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: That's true, So that's safe. And I do hope we
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: actually find out where exactly in the garage, like just
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: in a pile of well even as they showed a
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: campaign ad and now people are zooming in and there's
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a little pile of documentary ze papers and these and
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: these bags next to whereas corvette is. When he's pulling
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the corvette out of his garage and back in for
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: some campaign you know purpose he had back in it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: I think it said twenty nineteen. So I also got
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: to say, why are they in this garage with this corvette?
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: Look at it. I've read lots of classified documents. I've
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: never seen one that I've said I want to take
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: this home. Now, I'm not Sandy Burger. I've never stuffed
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: documents down my pants. So I don't understand how Democrats
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: deal with this. But I don't know why these documents
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: were so special to him that he apparently is hiding
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: them throughout his house. Now, listen, let's set aside. We'll
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: see what this special counsel does. This is going to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: complicate Joe Biden's life, but the person, how much is
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: it going to complicate it? I mean, this is this
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: one of those where your agenda gets derailed. And this
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: could get nasty because it could connect you as the
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: big guy and these documents. Because if these documents that
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: he kept dealt with financial issues or things or decisions
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: by our government that have a positive impact on his
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: son's financial dealings in Ukraine, Barisma, China and other financial things,
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: some of these documents could have dealt with those issues,
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: and if they did, the world of trouble gets vastly larger. Now, look,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: we have no evidence, no indication right now of what's
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: in those documents other than people of leak that they
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: concerned Iran in the UK and Ukraine, if they concerned
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden and Barisma business deals, and the whole world changes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: If they were documents that are relevant to questions of
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: official corruption by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, that's a
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: big deal. But we have no indication to that now.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: So it's that would change the situation pretty dramatically. Some
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: of this is going to depend on Robert hur and
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: if he is a straightforward by the book prosecutor, or
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: if he is part of the d state that manufactured
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: the Russia case against Donald Trump in the most corrupt
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: way imaginable, if he goes in and his approach to this.
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: Look the Biden Department of Justice. I talk about this
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: in the book Justice Corrupted. They appointed us a special
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: counsel to look at Lois Lerner. Yeah, and that special
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: counsel was a big Democrat donor who promptly said nothing
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to see here. All fine. It is possible that this
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: appointment is entirely about optics and his job is just
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: you know, say, well, he's screwed up, but he didn't
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: mean to, and everything's fine. Never mind. That's possible. It's
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: also possible. Look, anytime you have a special counsel that
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: has the potential to balloon and get bigger and bigger
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: and bigger. Bill Clinton learned that, Donald Trump learned that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: there's a long history of special counsels of their jurisdictions growing.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: And so if that happens, that would be a big deal.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: But even if none of that happens, this has dramatically
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: complicated Merrick Garland's life. It's dramatically complicated. We've talked on
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: this podcast at length. I believe Merrick Garland wants to
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: criminally charge Donald Trump. Yeah, does that take this off
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: the table in essence? Now, well, we've talked before about
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the reason they leaked that they were going to prosecute
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. Now, remember they want what they've leaked is
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: they want to prosecute Hunter Biden on his personal crimes
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: that only implicate him and don't implicate his dad. And
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you and I have talked about that. I think they
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: want to do that as political cover to say, see,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: we prosecute Hunter Biden, we prosecute Donald Trump. Aren't we
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: even handed? This just changed that whole chessboard, because it
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: ain't complicated that if both Trump and Biden have classified
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: docks and suddenly the bidendj says, we're prosecuting Trump, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: not Biden. Even the lap dogs in the corporate media
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: like that question. You can't refrain from asking. And so
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: it's why Merrick Garland looks so miserable because he's looking
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: down the road and his plan of what he thought
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: he was going to do just got screwed up. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know where this goes. I mean, it really is.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: And by the way, at this point, it seems every
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: day Biden keeps finding more classified documents. This may not
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: be the end of it. It may not be the end.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: It has dribbled out. Now it's worth underscoring Joe Biden
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: and or his team knew about this six days before
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: election day. They hit it from the American people. They
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: deliberately hit it for the American people. Now do I
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: know if Joe Biden knew personally know, But they're one
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: of two scenarios. One he knew, which is probably the
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: case sure, or two if he didn't know. The only
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: reason he wouldn't know is if it's team deliberately didn't
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: tell him, so he could have plausible deniability and say
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't know. Either way, that deception to try to
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: influence the election is really corrupt. It's corrupt on a
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: level that he will now have to be held accountable
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: for if this prosecutor goes somewhere. Let's talk about the
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: job of the special prosecutor quickly, and by the way,
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: I will say, look, we're seeing this week. We're seeing
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: suddenly reporters asking real questions, press briefing. We're seeing and
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: not just reporters from Fox, we're seeing CBS, like suddenly,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: the corporate media. It's it's gotten bad enough that they're
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: being forced to do their jobs. That's an important development.
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Or is it that the useful idiot is no longer
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: useful and they're saying, we really don't want him to run.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Democrats clearly we're kind of hoping that if there was
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: a bloodbath in the midterms and the Senate was lost
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: and the House was lost, that they would then say,
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: all right, we need a new leader, right, don't for reelection.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Then it was very clear they were like, all right,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: we got to stick with him now because they still
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: have the Senate. This could be their moment where they say,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: all right, let's take our hand off of him, and
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: this may be our way to get rid of him,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: and I wonder if the Democratic Party is now kind
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: of like, all right, we got through the midterms, We
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: don't want to run him in twenty twenty four. We
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: desperately want a new face. We got rid of Pelosi,
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: we got came Jeffreies. This is the makeover. Maybe in
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: the easiest way to make that makeover happen. So maybe
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: I will say, if you're a hardcore partisan Democrat, this
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: has been a really bad week. Yeah. And if you're
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: a hardcore partisan Democrat who is also a corporate media journalist,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: which they pretty much all are, you can go after
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Biden to try to say, Okay, it's time to ride
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: off into the sunset. We want the next generation of
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Democrats to run. But that's a dangerous game. Look if
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: if your president resigns in disgrace or doesn't run in
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: disgrace because they're tarred by scandal, because they're facing criminal prosecution,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: that ain't good. Yeah, it doesn't set well with the
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: next guy up for success well to win. And you know,
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: by the way, all of this is on top of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: this week. What happened, Well this week, the FAA screwed
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: up and halted all flights for several hours, first time
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: since September eleventh, every fightay Bent ever happened. Oh well,
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: we got good data points from that Mayor Pete. I'll
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: play this Mayor Pete this week's We got some really
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: good dat out of this, Like this is good news.
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: We're gonna be able to overcome this. Take a look.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Now that the system is up and running. Our primary
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: focus is to determine that route cause and I've directed
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: FAA to figure out exactly how this happened. The timeline
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: piece by piece about what was known overnight, going into
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: last night and then coming out of it. So glitterers
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: or complications happen all the time, but we can't allow
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: them to ever lead to this level of disruption, and
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: we won't ever allow them to lead to a safety problem.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Can you promise that? I don't think so, Like, we
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: won't ever let this happen again. But we don't know
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: what happened, and we got some good data points. It's
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: almost like being a small town mayor is not really
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: qualifications to run a major cabinet agency when you know
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: nothing about the industry. Look you look at at Budajug's
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: tenure his first year in office. We had a major
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: supply chain crisis, which most people hadn't even have focused
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: on what the heck of supply chain was right until
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: the Biden administration screwed it up. In the middle of
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: the biggest crisis the Transportation Department has ever seen, Pete
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: Boodhajedge was on paternity leave and he wasn't at the office.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: Then we saw just a couple of months ago we
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: were on the verge of a massive and major rail
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: strike again because the Biden administration had screwed it up.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: And now oops, the FAA is not able to keep
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: planes in the air safely. And by the way, the
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: Biden administration two years in, does not have an FAA
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: administrator in place. They nominated the guy who runs the
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Denver Airport who has no experience with issues dealing with
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: safety and aviation. Look run it. Running an airport is
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: totally different. And by the way, he has major scandal issues,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: which is part of why the Democrats in the Senate
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: haven't moved him forward and confirmed him because it's not
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: clearly as the votes that could be confirmed. So two
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: years into it, they don't have ahead of the FAA.
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: That's a problem. It's a competus problem. Oh and by
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: the way, in the middle of all of this, they
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: also tossed out a trial balloon, let's ban all gas stoves. Yeah,
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: that was just some random thing, an issue that came
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: out there, like we don't want you cooking on gas anymore?
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: Like what in the hell? Like this has been one
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of those weeks. It's like, okay, you guys, uh, you're
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: coming up with some insane things and it's for all
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: virtue signaling. Can't can't wait to see what happens next week.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: All right, as we wrap up, I want to do
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: something just interesting. As I was on my phone and
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: I was looking at at different doing research for this show,
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: I stumbled across an article in Britannica that I just
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: thought was interesting, which is the Secret Service code names
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: for US presidents. And I didn't know that though. This
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: so starting with JFK. JFK's codename. I have no idea Lancer.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: I gotta figure that one out. Richard Nixon searchlight? That
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: actually makes sense? Water? Did I get that one? Gerald
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: Ford pass key? I don't get that one. I don't
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: know what that means. Jimmy Carter, you're gonna like this one.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Deacon that's actually pretty good for him. That makes a
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: lot of sense. Ronald Reagan, he's got it's got to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: be a good one. That be a going because it's Reagan.
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: Raw Hide. That totally makes sense. That's just awesome. George
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush forty one, Timberwolf. I'm curious on that one.
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: Does that go back to CIA days? I don't know.
• 30:14
  Speaker 1: I don't know the history. Yeah, Bill Clinton, I've got
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: a lot, but I'm sure I'm gonna be wrong on
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: all of them. Horn Dog, Okay, perfect, God, I knew
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: I was right. Now. Okay that that that that's not right,
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: that's that's fake news. Okay, it was actually Eagle Bush
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: forty three. Yep, Trailblazer. I like that one. Obama. I
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: have a feeling they're gonna up his annie just because
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: it was Obama. Renegade. There you go. Trump, this one
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: is probably I would assume bad, but maybe they gave
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: him something decent at the beginning of his administration. Mogul.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: That's totally accurate. And Joe Biden document. Celtic. They should
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: have at least gone with Corvette. Actually don't know if
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: it's Celtic or Celtic, but it's spelled Celtic one of
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: the two. It's maybe he's a Boston fanandel where you
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: know he's leaning in on the Irish. So that's not
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: particularly relevant to the pod today. I just saw that
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: and thought it was interesting, and I figured the folks
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: listening to the podwords I like it always bringing up
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: the fun stuff like that. Center. This is gonna be
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: a big story. We're gonna be covering it. We'll have
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: another pod come out on Monday. Don't forget if you
• 31:24
