  Speaker 1: So the leagues are happening fast and furious right now,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and those leagues are meant to make Donald Trump look bad.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Let me give you an example. There's a new headline
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: out that says, quote, Donald Trump had more than three
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: hundred classified documents at Marlago. Now, if you have a
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: piece of paper just to put this in perspective, or
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: a report or anything that's written in page one's classified,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: it's going to be the entire thing. So imagine how
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: many pieces of paper it takes to get to three
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: hundred classified documents. It's not that many. If you think
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: about loading up your printer, for example, with paper, it's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: usually a five hundred page pieces of paper that you buy, right,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and then you pull two hundred and fifty out and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: you put them in your printer, and then you have
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: the others. Now, they have turned this story into some
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: sort of jackpot, when in reality it's probably not even
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: close to that. But also, if you think about three
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: hundred pages, that could easily be thirty different stapled or
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: binded pages, right, So thirty different things. But we want
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to count the whole number of pages to make it
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: look worse, make it look like he broke some massive law. Now.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: The initial batch of documents, the article goes on to say,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: this morning, which is breaking news right reviewed retrieved by
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: the National Archives from former President Donald Trump in January,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they say, included more than a hundred and fifty marked
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: as classified, a number that ignited intense concern at the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: Justice Department and helped trigger the criminal investigation that led
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: FBI agents to swoop into Marlago this month seeking to
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: recover more. Multiple people briefed on the matter have now
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: leaked in total, the government has recovered more than three
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: hundred documents with classified marks or markings from mister Trump
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: since he left office, The people said. The first batch
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: of documents returned in January, another set provided by mister
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Trump's aids to the Justice Department in June, and the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: material seas by the FBI in the search this month. Wait,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: hold on a second. I thought we weren't allowed to
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: say seized. I thought we weren't supposed to be able
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: to say the word raid. Remember when the semantics of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: the media saying it's unfair to call it a raid.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a raid. They didn't seize, This wasn't material
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sez by the FBI. Well, now they're using those words
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: right because they want to flip the story and make
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it look like Donald Trump is the worst person in
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the world. Now, the previously unreported volume since the material
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: found in the former presence possession in January, helps explain
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the liberal media says this morning, why the Justice Department
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: moved so urgently to hunt down any further classify materials
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: he might have, and the extent to which such a
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: large number of highly sensitive documents remained at mor Lago
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: for months, even as the Department sought to return the
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: return of all material that should have been left in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: government custody when mister Trump left office, suggested to officials
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: at the former president or his aids had been cavalier
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: and handling it, not fully forthcoming with investigators or both. Now,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: that is the story that the media wants you to hear.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: But guess what, we have another story that totally contradicts
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the one that the media is talking about today. Now,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: before I continue on this, I gotta tell you about
• 3:46

  Speaker 1: eight six six seven five one twenty two eighteen or
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: online at Legacy PM investments dot Com. Sources have now
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: come forward saying that the government the GSA are the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: ones that pack the boxes of documents that Trump brought
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: to Marlago, not Donald Trump's political staffers. Sources close to
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: President Donald Trump have confirmed that the General Services Administration,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: also known as the GSA, packed the boxes of documents
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he took with him to mar Lago, not political staffers. Okay,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: so let's let's take that line. And now let's go
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: back to the other article that the New York Times
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: had out this morning, where everybody's pushing the story where
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and again, I'm going to read exactly from this liberal
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: article this morning when mister Trump left office. All right,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: let me let me go back even further. And the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: extent to which such a large number of highly sensitive
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: documents remained at mar Lago for months, even as the
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Department sought the return of all material that should have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: been left in government custody when mister Trump left office,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: suggested two officials that the former president or his aids
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: had been cavalier in handling it, not fully forth coming
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: with investigators or both. The specific nature this article says
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: of the sense of material that mister Trump took from
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: the White House remains unclear. But the fifteen boxes mister
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Trump turned over to the Archives in January, nearly a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: year after he left office, including documents from the CIA,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the National Security Agency, and the FBI spanning a variety
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: of topics of national security interest. A person says, is
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the problem? Then, they said, mister Trump went through the
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: boxes himself. In late twenty twenty one. According to multiple
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: people briefed on his efforts before turning them over, the
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: highly sense of nature of some of the material in
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: the boxes prompted Archives officials to refer the matter to
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the DOJ, which within months had convened a grand jury investigation. Okay,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: let's go back to the other story here right. Shortly
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: after the FBI rated a Marlott Marlago this month reportedly
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to reclaim documents Donald Trump had taken from the White
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: House in January of twenty twenty one, one journalist announced
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: a source closed to the former president confirmed the documents
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: were boxed by government staffers in the General Services Administration,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: not Donald Trump's own staffers. These are outside people. A
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: person very close to Donald Trump tells me it's indeed
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: true what's being banded about Twitter, that he took all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: these documents as a lie. The United States General Services officials,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: not Trump or anyone working for him in the White House,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: are the one that are the people that packed the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: boxes that the FBI took in Monday's raid. If that's true,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it scrambles the omlet a bit. The reporter said on
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Twitter on Monday, after Trump had formally requests an independent
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: review of the documents seized by the FBI during the raid.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: A source closed to the former president confirmed that this
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the veracity of these claims that the GSA did indeed
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: pack the documents prior to Donald Trump assuming the presidency.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: In fact, according to The New York Times, sources close
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to the investigation claimed that the government had received more
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: than three hundred documents with classified markings since Donald Trump
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: left office. New York Times had this in total, the
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: government has recovered more than three hundred documents with classified
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: markings from mister Trump. The first batch of documents returned
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: in January and other seas by mister trump aids or
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: excuse me, another set provided by mister Trump's aids to
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: the Justice Department in June, and the materials seized by
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: the FBI and the search this month. The exact nature
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of the documents remained unknown at this time, but the
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty documents returned by the President January
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: are reported to have information pertaining to the CIA, FBI, NSA,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: and a variety of other national security interests. Quote highly
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: sensitive nature. Some of the material in the box has
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: prompted Archives officials to refer the matter to the Justice Department.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: The Times exclusively reported aide smister Trump turned over a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: few dozen additional sensitive documents during a visit to mar
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Lago by the Justice Department in early June. After the
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: former president returned to second round of documents in June,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the Department of Justice officials reportedly became concerned about the
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: security of the documents still in his possession upon reviewing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: surveillance footage of a well traveled corridor near the basement
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: storage room where the documents were kept at mor Lago.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump had has maintained that he and his legal
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: team were cooperating with the DOJ up until the moment
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: of the raid earlier this month. Somebody's lying here, that's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the point of all this. Somebody's lying in a big way.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: In fact, there's new reports out that show and documents
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: that show that apparently the Biden White House is involved
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: in the Trump criminal probe. New documents out show that
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the Biden White House is in fact involved in the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Trump criminal probe. Yeah, I thought that wasn't the case, right,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's what they were saying. We go, we know nothing,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we don't know anything about this. We don't know a thing.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: President Joe Biden's White House was intimately involved in the
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: Department of Justice criminal probe and the former President Donald Trump,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: according to government documents reviewed now by Trust the News,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: several correspondences between Trump's attorneys and members of the Biden
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: administration now reveal that the federal government appeared posed to
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: waive at Trump's claim of executive privilege over documents that
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Trump kept at Marlago until earlier this year. The new
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: report comes out saying, quote, the memos shows then White
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: House Deputy Council Jonathan Sue was engaged in conversations with
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: the FBI, the DOJ, and the National Archives as early
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: as April. So the White House allied to you when
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: they said they knew nothing about the raid or the
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: investigation or anything, right, They played, Oh, we're just stupid,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: we know nothing. This is just law enforcement doing their thing.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: That's a lie. The White House Deputy Council Jonathan Sue
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: was engaged in conversations with not just the FBI, but
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: the DOJ and the National Archives as early as April,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: shortly after fifteen boxes of classified and other materials were
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: voluntarily returned to the Federal Historical Agency from Trump's Florida
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: home by May. Apparently, Sue conveyed to the Archives at
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: present Joe Biden would not act quote unquote to waiving
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: his predecessor's claims to executive privilege, a decision that opened
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the door for the DOJ to get a grand jury
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: to issue a subpoena compelling Trump to turn over any
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: remaining materials he posed or he possessed, I should say,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: from his presidency. So let me just break that down.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: When you have the if this is true, and I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: have no reason to believe it's not. The White House
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: Deputy Council Jonathan Sue was engaged in all these conversations
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: with everybody involved in this raid, the FBI, the DOJ,
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: and the National Archives as early as April, and then
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Sue conveyed to the Archives that the President Joe Biden
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: would quote not object to waiving his predecessor's claims to
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: executive privilege. That was the moment they said go That's
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: immediately when the DOJ and the FBI said, now we
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: get to do what we want to do, and that's
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: gonna go after criminally Donald Trump. That's when they went
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to a grand jury. That's when they said, let's get
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: that subpoena. That's when they said, we're gonna force Trump
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: to turn over any remaining material, and then we're gonna
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: go in there and we're gonna raid his home. Go
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: back in time to May the tenth. May the tenth
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: letter from Acting National Archivists What a job Debrah Wall
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to Trump's legal team confirm the White House's involvement in
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the DJ's probe against Donald Trump. On April the eleventh
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of this year, the White House Council's Office, affirming a
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: request from the Department of Justice supported by an FBI
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: letterhead memo, formally transmitted a request that in area provide
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the FBI access to the fifteen boxes for its review
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: within seven days, with the possibility that the FBI might
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: request copies as specific documents following its review of boxes.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Hold on a second, didn't the White House say they
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: had no involvement in any of this? Isn't what the
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Isn't that what the White House kept saying over and
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: over and over and over again. Isn't isn't that the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: I mean, isn't that the lie that they kept telling us?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: They kept saying, white House kept saying, we know nothing
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: about this, right, White House doesn't know anything about Marlago
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and White House and the FBI. We haven't been talking
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: white House, the oj were we stay out of this
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: because the documents are now showing the complete opposite of this.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: In fact, this leaked letter continues saying this. The counsel
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: to the President has informed me. So this is the
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: counsel to the President of the United States of am America.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So there's no way you can tell me now that
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't know this was happening. The Counsel of
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the President has informed me that, in light of the
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: particular circumstances presented here, President Biden defers to my determination
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: in consultation with the Assistant Attorney General for the Office
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of Legal Counsel, regarding whether or not I should uphold
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the former presence purported protective assertion of executive privilege. I
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: have therefore decided not to honor the former presidence protective
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: claim of privilege. Okay, so let's just again be clear
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: about this. Documents show that the Biden White House was
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: involved in the Trump criminal probe. In fact, if you
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: want to get even more blunt about it, you could
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: actually say that Donald Trump was hit directly, not indirectly,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: but directly. Right was hit directly by the Biden administration.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden could have stopped this, and Joe Biden chose
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: not to. Joe Biden could have said no, right, Joe
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Biden could have said no, we're not gonna do this.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden could have said, no, we're gonna let him
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have his executive privilege here. Joe Biden said, go criminal,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: let's go. Joe Biden's legal counsel had to talk to
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Joe Biden about all of this, because if he didn't
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: talk to them about it, then they wouldn't have been
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: able to send the letter. They just said, the President
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: has reviewed this and giving has given me the authority
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: to do what I think is best. That's the reality
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: of this situation. So yet again the Democratic Party is
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: involved in all of this and the politics that come
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: with it. I want to go back and I want
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: you to hear this. White House is denial that they
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: were not involved, that no one at the White House
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: was involved. Her words, no one at the White House
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: was given a heads up on the FBI. MARLG raid Well,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: your FBI took the lead from the White House lawyers
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: who said they checked with the President Joe Biden and
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: said that the President had no problem with them, basically saying,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: go after Trump. That's what your own emails say from
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: your own White House. Listen to the White House presecretary
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: asked this question, not a trick question, by the way,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: pretty simple one on a different topic of the FBI
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: as a search warrant on the former president's residence in Florida.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Was the President or anyone at the White House careare
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: of that search warrant or had as anyone at the
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: White House or the President been briefed in the aftermath
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: of that search warrant executing anyone at the White House.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: So you're telling me that the same White House counsel
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: that beef the President on Donald Trump and then the
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: President you're you're set in your own paperwork approved the
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: FBI and the DOJ and Archives to go after criminally
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: and get a grand jury to go after Donald Trump.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: You're telling me you guys weren't updated on this after
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: the fact. Give me a break. The President was not briefed,
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: did not was not aware of it. No, no one
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: at the White House was given a heads up. No,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: that did not happen. So the White House Counsel didn't
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: get a heads up that the former president Unitates America
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: was going to be rated by the FBI. No one
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: at the White House was given a heads up. That's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: that's that's what you're going with. White House Press Secretary
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: also refused to deny that the White House has weaponized
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: in the Justice Partment the FBI political against political opponents.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: Listen to this. Is there a concern here that if
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: you guys don't say more than these Republicans who are
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: accusing this White House of webinize in the Justice Department,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: weabinizing the FBI, are that's going to become the public
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: sentiment if you guys don't say, once and for all,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: we are not doing that. First, First of all, we're
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: just not going to comment on the Department of Justice investigation.
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: We're just we're just not going to comment on it.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Is this White House weabinizing the Justice Department and the
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: FBI against political opponents. The President has been very clear
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: from before he was elected, very clear on this hold
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: on it's about his time in office. Cut quote. We
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: will be plaguing the quote tonight at six o'clock. Is
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: this administration weabinizing the Justice Department and the FBI against
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: political opponents, Peter, the president believes in the rule of law.
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: The President believes in the independence of the Department of
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: Justice or not. That is no. It's a yes or
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: a no for you. I'm answering the question. You may
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: not like it, but I'm answering the question, and I no.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: I'm answering the question, and I'm telling you that we
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: are not going to comment on a criminal investigation. The
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: President has been very clear. I laid out what his
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: thoughts were back on January seventh, twenty twenty one, about
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: how he saw the Department of Justice, and I'm just
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: going to leave it there. We're not going to comment
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: from here from this White House on a criminal investigation
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: that is currently happening. I love it right. We're not
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: going to comment on a criminal investigation that's currently happening
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: that we, by the way, said go for it. Well me.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: We also reminds you that James coming ordered FBI agents
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: interviewed General Flynn outside the standards of the White House protocol.
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: Do you remember that If you don't think these people
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: play by a different set of roles, you're not paying attention.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Let me take you back to twenty and eighteen. James Comy,
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: the FBI Director, says he wouldn't have gotten away with
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: sending FBI agents to the White House and any other administration,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: But the dumb Trump administration was so green and new,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I thought I could get away with it. You look
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: at this White House now, and it's hard to imagine
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: two FBI agents sending up in this sta room. How
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: did that happen? I sent them something I probably wouldn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: have done or maybe gotten away with in a more
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: organized investigation, a more organized administration in the George W.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Bush administration, for example, or the Obama administration. The protocol
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: two men that all of us have perhaps increased appreciation
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: for over the last two years. And in both of
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: those administrations there was process, and so if the FBI
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: wanted to send agents into the White House itself to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: interview a senior official, you would work through the White
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: House Council and there be discussions and approvals and who
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: would be there. And I thought, it's early enough. Let's
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: just send a couple of guys over. Let's just send
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: a couple guys over. That's the White House. That's what
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: they do, folks, That's how they work. We do not interfere.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: We did not get briefed. That's what the White House
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: Press secretary said. We weren't giving a heads up. Know what.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: The White House had this heads up. The President didn't
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: know that they were gonna invade mar Lago. Right, we
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: didn't get briefed, We did not interfere. We didn't do
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: anything with its raid. Know what the White House was
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: giving this heads up. Everybody calmed down. We're not weaponizing
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: the DOJ right, none of this right, right, We just
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: we didn't know anything. Trust the FBI, right, Trust the FBI.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: That's one of the things they keep saying over and
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: over again. Trust the FBI. Who is this FBI? Let's
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: go back to Peter Struck, Lisa Page, James Comey and
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: look at who they are and think about what they do.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: In fact, former CIA director Michael Hayden agreed with a
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: journalist tweet this week labeling Republicans as dangerous. That's right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: so you think there's any bias there? Former CIA director
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Michael Hayden on Wednesday agreed with a British journalists contention
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that Republicans are dangerous. Right, They're dangerous than extremist groups
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and dictatorships around the world that they're more dangerous. I've
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: covered extremists and violent ideologies around the world over my career,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: tweeted Financial Times columnists Edward Luce. Have never come across
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: a political force more dangerous and contemptible than today's Republicans.
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: Nothing close. Among those who agreed with his contention was
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: actually the former CIA director Michael Hayden, who tweeted, I
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: agree and I was a CIA director. Wow. An entrepreneur
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: and self declared former Trump supporter, questioned the productivity of
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: such a comment, noting that it would only reinforce the
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: GOP's narrative of a partisan weaponize intelligence apparatus, saying, respectfully,
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: what are you trying to accomplish with this message? I
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: understand your concerns with this type of message reinforces the
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: prevailing GOP narrative of a partisan weaponize intelligence apparatus. Further,
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: your message overstates the case. Do you truly believe the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: GOP is more contentable than al Qaeda? Seriously make that case.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: You also paint with too broad of a brush, and
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: all Republicans are extremists and Uncle Maga is not the enemy.
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: Tone it down. He went on to say further, your
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: message overstates the case. Do you truly believe the GOP
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: is more contemptible than al Qaeda. In addition to the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: CIA director, National Security Agency Director Michael Hayden also serves
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: as a national security contributor to CNN. And he's saying,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: as a former CIA director of the Republican Party is
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: more dangerous, more dangerous than al Qaeda. And he's the
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: FBI director or a former CIA director. I should say,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: you understand, they're all in on this. Every one of
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: them is in on this. All of them are a
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: part of this. They all know about it. There is
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: no way, as I said before, and I will stand
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: by this and I'll say it again, there is no
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: way that the White House didn't know about this raid.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: There is no way that the FBI didn't understand what
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was happening. There is no way that the White House
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: and the President didn't understand what they were about to do.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: There's no way that there was this big of a disconnect.
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: That's exactly why, by the way, Donald Trump sues to
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: stall the FBI investigation, calls for a special master to
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: review documents that have been seized from Marlago. That's why
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: President Trump filed that lawsuit this week to call for
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: a special master to be appointed to review the documents.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: It is unreasonable quote, to allow the prosecutal team to
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: review them without meaningful safeguards, rode attorneys for Donald Trump.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Short of returning the seas items to us, only a
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: neutral review by a special master can protect the public interests,
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: the great public interests, and preserving the confidentiality of conversations
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: that take place in the President's performance of his official duties.
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: They added. The motion was filed in Florida also asked
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: for more detailed accounting of the document sees by the FBI.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Remember the lies from the media week ago. Oh, they
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: didn't take Donald Trump's passports? Wait, never mind, we did, right,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Nora o'donald. Remember her tweet that she put out from
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: whatever news network she's with as a ABCNBC. I get
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: them all confused, They all suck. I don't want them anymore,
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: Nora o'donald. Remember she says they were not taken, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: then she never corrected the tweet when she found when
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: she got busted lying. Trump also issued a scathing statement
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: about the legal action and reiterated his former accusations of
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: the search was politically motivated and illegal, saying this Marlago
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: break in search and Caesar was illegal and unconstitutional, and
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: we are taking all actions necessary to get to the
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: documents back, which we would have given to them without
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: the necessity of the despicable rate of my home, so
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: that I can give them to the National Archives until
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: they are required for the future. Donald J. Trump, Presidential
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: Library Museum. Trump wrote in a statement, we are demanding
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: the appointment of a special master to oversee the handling
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: of the material taken in the raid. We are demanding
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: that all items are wrongfully taken from my home be
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: immediately returned. The motion also accused the d J of
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: going on a fishing expedition, a common claim by those
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: defending the former present because it makes sense. Aside from
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: demonstrating this was an awful general search, should also suggests
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: that the DJ simply wanted the camel's nose under the
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: tent so they could rummage for either politically helpful documents
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: or support of our efforts to thwart present Trump from
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: running again, such as a January sixth investigation. Trump's attorneys wrote,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I don't trust the deep state as sure as hell
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: don't trust these people that are telling me at the
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: White House they knew nothing. I think they knew everything,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: and the documents are now showing that the present basically
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: is the one that signed off on it. Please share
