1:26

Now, the press has always wanted

1:28

to be a kingmaker, going all

1:31

the way back to John Adams

1:33

versus Thomas Jefferson. And

1:36

for a while there, the press,

1:39

the media did forge

1:41

presidents into office, JFK

1:46

being the best example of

1:48

that. But today,

1:50

it's a totally different story as

1:53

the press is disintegrating. And

1:55

the best example of this

1:58

is Donald Trump. of

2:00

this evening's Talking Points memo.

2:04

So once again, Trump is

2:06

dominating American politics this

2:08

time in the criminal justice

2:10

system. He's been charged with 77 felony

2:13

counts. Did

2:15

you know that? 77, I had to add

2:17

them up this morning. All right,

2:20

that's in the January 6th case,

2:23

in the classified documents case, and

2:25

the New York City situation with

2:28

far left guy, EA, Alan

2:31

Bragg, Alvin Bragg. Next

2:34

up is Georgia, and he's

2:36

gonna be charged with felony interference in

2:39

the election there, the presidential election.

2:41

So this is way out of control.

2:44

I mean, you don't file 77 felony

2:46

charges, you just file it down, okay?

2:49

But this is all to

2:51

demonstrate what a rogue in how

2:54

out of control Donald Trump allegedly

2:56

was, okay?

2:58

So what's interesting about this is

3:00

all generated by Democrats. Every

3:04

single charge. Merrick

3:07

Garland is the attorney general, he appoints

3:09

a prosecutor Jack Smith, Smith

3:12

is a Democrat, Bragg is a Democrat,

3:15

the Fulton County DA in Georgia is a Democrat,

3:18

it's all the other party

3:20

doing this. No independent

3:24

investigations at all, very important.

3:28

Because in the long run, this is gonna go to the Supreme Court,

3:31

none of these investigations

3:33

were independent. None

3:36

of them, the fix was

3:38

in. That

3:40

is not to say that Donald Trump is

3:42

not guilty. Clearly

3:45

he should have returned the documents

3:48

he kept at Mar-a-Lago to

3:50

the National Archives when they requested

3:52

that. Should

3:55

have done it that day, clearly.

3:59

On January, On February 6th,

4:02

the important thing here is there's no mention of

4:04

him promoting insurrection. Remember,

4:06

that was his second impeachment. No

4:09

mention of it in Smith's indictments.

4:13

So he didn't promote insurrection or

4:15

anything to do with the Capitol attack,

4:18

according to the special prosecutor.

4:21

What he allegedly did

4:23

do was foment unrest in this

4:25

country, because

4:31

he said the election was a fraud.

4:34

And Smith says he can

4:37

prove that Trump knew

4:39

what he was saying was false. I

4:42

don't believe he can prove that, because I talked to

4:44

Trump all the time. He

4:47

has never wavered in one of

4:49

my conversations with him. He

4:51

believes the election

4:53

was rigged, because that's what

4:56

he wants to believe. He comes

4:58

back to that once again. Read

5:01

my message of the day, Biden's doing the same

5:03

thing on the Hunter

5:05

front. Same exact thing. Okay,

5:08

now, moving forward, all

5:12

of this stuff is gonna evolve

5:14

in one way or another. And federal

5:17

courts are gonna be involved.

5:18

The first thing is moving the venue

5:20

on January 6th out of Washington, D.C.,

5:23

where Trump can't possibly get a fair trial.

5:25

The judge is a Democrat

5:28

who has made anti-Trump statements.

5:31

You can't, you can't. Now,

5:34

the Trump lawyers are gonna file for

5:36

a change of venue. If that's turned down,

5:39

then it goes to the appellate federal division and

5:41

on and on and on up to the Supreme

5:43

Court

5:45

if they hear it.

5:47

And the same thing's gonna happen in Malago,

5:50

although that's a much clearer cut case

5:54

than the January 6th thing.

5:56

Now, Trump's himself

5:57

should be letting.

5:59

his lawyers litigate

6:01

this, but he isn't

6:03

because he can't constrain

6:06

himself. Roll the tape.

6:09

The prosecutor in the case, I

6:13

will call it our case, is a thug. I've

6:16

named him deranged Jack

6:18

Smith. His record is absolutely

6:21

atrocious. He does

6:23

political hit jobs. He's a raging

6:25

and uncontrolled Trump hater, as

6:27

is his wife.

6:30

Now,

6:33

why is the former president doing that?

6:35

All his supporters already know that

6:38

or believe that.

6:40

The press is just going to paint him as an

6:42

out of control, renegade nut.

6:45

And the rest of America, if

6:48

you don't know the

6:49

two sides and the battle lines

6:51

by now, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

6:55

So I don't know why Donald Trump

6:58

is doing that.

7:00

Surrogates do that.

7:02

Doesn't do you any good. A lot of

7:04

that tape's going to be played in the courtroom

7:06

in front of the jury. And remember,

7:08

the jury are all going to have to be morons. They're

7:12

all going to have to be people who have no blank an

7:15

idea what's

7:17

happening in this country with Trump or anybody else.

7:22

Okay. Now, one more thing in the memo.

7:24

As I wrote yesterday, and again, I really hope you read the columns

7:28

called FYI on Bill O'Reilly.com. The press has lost

7:31

credibility. It's lost power.

7:33

It's lost readers.

7:37

It's lost viewers. I give you the stats. There's

7:40

no doubt about it. There's no

7:42

two sides to

7:44

the story. Which is why you're watching and listening to

7:46

me, a totally independent news agency,

7:49

because you can't trust the corporate

7:51

news agencies. They

7:54

will not tell you the truth. An

8:00

example, CNN on

8:03

Friday, three days ago, ran this clip. Go.

8:09

So he had said something to the effect

8:11

of, I don't want people to know we

8:13

lost Mark. This is embarrassing. Figure

8:16

it out, we need to figure it out. I don't want people to know

8:18

that we lost.

8:20

Okay, that woman is Cassidy Hutchinson,

8:22

who has already been

8:24

discredited. She hates Donald Trump.

8:28

She worked in a White House for a short time.

8:30

She's the one who said Trump was sitting in the

8:32

back of the presidential limo

8:34

and lunged at a secret service

8:36

guy who was driving the car, which is physically

8:39

impossible to do.

8:41

That's who that was. Yet CNN

8:44

knows she's a Trump hater. This

8:47

is hearsay that tape

8:49

was leaked by a Democrat on

8:51

one of the House committees to CNN, yet

8:54

they ran it anyway.

8:56

Okay, come on, you know.

9:01

So let's just recap here.

9:04

The whole country's in turmoil. America's

9:07

in turmoil. We've been laughed at by our enemies

9:09

in Russia and China and Iran. We

9:12

may have a presidential election featuring

9:15

two guys under indictment. I

9:17

mean, I don't think Joe Biden's gonna make it,

9:20

but Trump isn't gonna resign.

9:23

He'll be there. And

9:25

he may very well win the

9:28

Republican primary. And that's the

9:30

memo. Welcome to Welch's

9:32

Fruit SMR. Enjoy the big,

9:34

bold, vibrant sounds of real fruit.

9:37

Orange, pineapple,

9:40

apple juice. Strawberry

9:43

spread. Sparkling

9:47

rose. Ah. Ah.

9:52

Ah. Made

9:55

9:58

as you. Welch's, let's fruit. stuff

10:00

they'll make you all feel like you're winning. Shop

10:26

now, in store or online. Kroger,

10:29

fresh for everyone.

10:32

Now this week, in fact, I think it's tomorrow,

10:34

August 8th, Richard Nixon

10:38

resigned the presidency. Go.

10:41

I have never been a quitter. To

10:45

leave office before my term is completed

10:47

is abhorrent to every instinct in

10:49

my body. But

10:52

as president, I must

10:54

put the interests of America

10:57

first. So

11:00

he had to leave Nixon because he was going

11:02

to be impeached and convicted in the Watergate

11:06

mass.

11:07

He was going to be impeached and convicted there. He

11:09

knew it.

11:10

And that if he didn't leave, he

11:12

would have been charged with crimes

11:15

because the tapes in the White

11:17

House clearly demonstrated

11:19

that Nixon was part of the coverup

11:22

of the Watergate affair.

11:24

And if you don't know what the Watergate affair

11:26

is, I'm not going to waste everybody's time

11:28

going back on it. But it was a crime.

11:31

It was a campaign crime.

11:34

And he didn't order it. But when

11:36

he found out about it, he tried to cover it up

11:38

and get money for the guys who were arrested

11:40

and on and on. So Nixon knew he was toast.

11:43

He also knew that Gerald Ford was going

11:45

to be vice president

11:47

because Agnew, his original vice

11:49

president,

11:50

he had to leave because he was convicted of bribery,

11:53

Agnew.

11:54

So he was booted.

11:56

And then Gerald Ford became

11:58

vice president for with the.

11:59

bigger the house, okay? And

12:02

so that's the stair step. But

12:05

Nixon knew Ford was gonna pardon him

12:09

before any criminal charges could be brought

12:11

in. It's exactly what happened.

12:14

You and I were at the top of local

12:16

news, of syndicated

12:19

programming. You had your own show where you

12:21

hit people with chairs. I did

12:23

Inside Edition, okay?

12:24

And then I was

12:27

at the beginning of cable

12:28

at the Fox News Channel, and

12:30

you came in a few years after. You

12:32

were at network news, so

12:34

was I, okay? So we've done

12:37

it all, and we were there

12:39

at the top of the chart. I

12:41

just wanna set the stage here. Now

12:44

it's the last days of Pompeii, and

12:47

a lot of people watching us won't even know what that

12:49

means, because the information

12:53

flow to Americans, I think is the

12:55

lowest it's been

12:57

since the invention of television.

12:59

What say you?

13:02

I say that Pompeii was an Italian city

13:05

in the near Mount

13:08

Vesuvius, buried in the volcanic

13:10

eruption that ended their lives

13:13

like that. I don't think the

13:17

erosion that you describe in cable news

13:19

is quite that traumatic, but

13:22

it is, I mean, the numbers don't lie.

13:25

And you're a good researcher. The fact

13:28

that the pool is only 20 million

13:30

is quite grim. I don't feel

13:32

sorry for them. I don't feel sorry for Fox. Fox

13:35

is doing plenty well,

13:38

maybe not as well as they did proportionally

13:40

when you were there, or when I was there,

13:42

but

13:43

they are making tens

13:46

of millions, and it's a good thing because they

13:48

owe 800 million in the Dominion

13:50

lawsuit. But

13:53

it's not about them, it's not about Comcast,

13:56

it's not about ABC News, it's about

13:58

the folks.

13:59

Yeah, I agree. I agree. All right. So

14:02

the folks. Let me, let me, I just want to say

14:04

something about, about Hunter Biden. And

14:06

you know this well. And I think the people

14:08

listening to this too. You're only

14:10

as happy as your unhappiest child.

14:13

I believe that Joe Biden got saddled

14:16

with a whore mongering

14:19

drug addled, selfish,

14:22

narcissistic son who thought that

14:24

he could do anything using his father's

14:26

name. I think that all of those antics,

14:28

the reason I bring them up is I think they are

14:31

a measure of the man's character. He

14:33

would do anything despite

14:35

the fact that his father was a prestigious

14:37

person, a senator, a vice president and

14:39

a later president of the United States. He

14:42

was without boundaries in

14:45

it for himself. Very very selfish.

14:47

But where I, you

14:49

and I differ is I don't think

14:51

the link to dad in

14:54

his official capacity has ever been established

14:57

and there's nothing in what I've heard from Colm

14:59

or any of these guys. And I

15:01

think that McCarthy was appropriate

15:03

when he didn't, you know, I

15:06

said he was appropriate as well. But this

15:08

being the 49th anniversary of Richard Nixon's

15:10

resignation, you will know it took

15:12

almost three years to build the case

15:14

against Nixon.

15:16

And only when the federal

15:18

courts got involved and demanded that

15:20

white house tapes be turned over.

15:22

Well, you and a lot of other people

15:25

say, well, we, Joe Biden, there's no,

15:27

you know, this investigation is really

15:30

just beginning because the FBI and

15:32

the Justice Department did nothing

15:34

for two and a half years. So you have

15:37

that point that you make,

15:39

it's an incomplete. If you were in my class,

15:42

you get an incomplete. All right. Because

15:45

the train

15:46

is running and it's running hard.

15:49

And I will tell you, Joe

15:51

Biden is not going to beat this. He

15:54

enabled his son, knowing

15:56

his son was a grifter.

15:58

Joe Biden enabled. him

16:00

and allowed him to do it. That is your

16:02

prediction. That is your body. That's

16:05

the fact that this you were careful to

16:07

make that copy that it was

16:09

not fact based or it was

16:12

it was your prediction based on the evidence that

16:14

you as it is fact based that Joe Biden enabled

16:17

Hunter Biden to make all this money. That's fact

16:19

based. Well, let me let me just let me make this I

16:21

believe

16:23

and you use the Richard Nixon comparison,

16:26

which I applaud because I think it

16:28

is very very appropriate in this regard.

16:31

What did Gerald Ford do vis-a-vis

16:34

Richard Nixon after Nixon had resigned

16:37

and gone in shame to California. What

16:40

President Gerald Ford did was

16:42

to pardon Richard Nixon for any

16:44

and all offenses having to do

16:47

with a cosmic pardon that cost

16:49

Ford. I would argue the election against

16:52

Jimmy Carter because it was so unpopular. Not

16:54

with me. I applauded it. I

16:57

agree in a historical sense. Families

16:59

and I would like very much. We're wandering

17:02

away from the crux

17:03

of this story. Okay. Joe

17:06

Biden should pardon

17:08

Donald Trump. That's my point. Okay.

17:10

I mean, well, let's heal. Let's see

17:12

how that goes. How are he has to heal

17:15

this. He'll never in a million years

17:17

do that.

17:18

Okay. So maybe let me ask you

17:20

a series of personal questions. Go

17:22

ahead. When you're talking to somebody, because

17:25

people come up to you and me all the time.

17:27

Okay. And most of them are

17:30

very nice. All they want is a picture or what,

17:34

but when you're talking to somebody a little bit more,

17:36

maybe you're on a train or you're in

17:38

some place in social and a person

17:40

doesn't know anything.

17:43

All right.

17:44

And they're saying wild crazy stuff.

17:47

What do you do? Do you try to convince

17:49

them or do you just walk away?

17:52

Well, I have to say that

17:55

I have been blessed that 99.9% of my encounters.

18:00

with the public have been

18:02

pleasant.

18:03

A couple of times I've had real jerks

18:05

that said, how can you be

18:07

on Fox News? I went

18:10

to a Broadway show. I was stunned

18:12

when this happened in New York, my city. I

18:14

go to a Broadway show and a guy said, you're out

18:17

enjoying yourself when the chaos that

18:19

you wreaked on the country is

18:21

being sown when you're enjoying yourself. I think

18:24

a walk, I almost whacked them.

18:26

But I mean, that's very, very rare, right? Generally

18:29

speaking, it is exactly as you describe.

18:31

People want a picture, they want a little... My

18:35

rule is that they are only going

18:37

to be with you for those 15 seconds

18:40

or 30 seconds or one minute. And

18:43

that's gonna be the impression they have of you

18:45

for the rest of their lives. Yeah, and they'll tell other people.

18:48

But you know, I don't entertain

18:50

anymore. I don't try to persuade anybody anymore.

18:53

If they ask me a question, they answer the question

18:55

honestly. And you know me, what,

18:57

almost 40 years, ridiculous. Yeah,

19:00

and I still like you. You know, we

19:02

went to day camp together. So

19:04

they

19:05

answer the question, I answer

19:07

it honestly, but if they come out with some crazy

19:10

thing that they heard on Fox

19:12

or MSNBC, or I just

19:14

smile and say, well, okay, gotta

19:17

go.

19:18

I don't do that anymore

19:21

because we are not an information based

19:23

country any longer. We're

19:26

not, it's all emotion now.

19:28

It's all ideology now, correct?

19:31

I think that ideology

19:34

is now the defining force

19:37

in American society and I lament that trend.

19:40

Yeah, it's terrible. And particularly when

19:42

the election comes up, that's very, very

19:44

important and people just won't get out of their

19:46

box. They won't look at really what's happening.

19:49

They vote for whoever their friends

19:51

tell them to vote for, whatever party they're in. Final

19:53

question.

19:56

Because you and I have seen the height.

20:00

All right. And now the

20:03

descent of the media,

20:05

it's not turning around. It's

20:08

gone. Right. But I tell

20:10

you what, a good story could

20:12

still spark a

20:14

renaissance in whoever breaks the

20:16

story. Someone who really can

20:19

do the next, you

20:22

know, get it behind the O.J. Simpson or

20:24

the go back to the Willowbrook days or

20:26

the chair or Charles Mann. You

20:29

could still

20:31

juice an audience, excite

20:33

an audience with the originality

20:35

and hard work and enterprise reporting

20:38

and get off, shake off that ideological

20:41

bent, that prejudice that you have and

20:43

go for the facts in a way that's vivid

20:46

and energetic. I think that you

20:48

and your column, you say you

20:51

and Glenn Beck and Megyn Kelly

20:53

having established private networks.

20:56

Look what you've done

20:58

with the minuscule investment compared

21:00

to what the networks have put into this. And

21:03

you're competing on almost an

21:05

even basis with that. And I think is

21:07

the future. It is.

21:10

The technology

21:12

allows now honest

21:15

purveyors to

21:17

at least be heard. We're all know everybody

21:20

will bring them in on a regular basis,

21:22

I hope,

21:23

to talk about media stuff. And

21:25

then when Hunter Biden and his father go down,

21:28

I'll bring him back and we'll play all the tapes

21:30

for all the. I told

21:32

you so. Right. OK. All right.

22:36

MSNBC is beating Fox News.

22:40

I never thought I'd see this in my lifetime, about

22:44

all of this Trump stuff. I mean, I've never,

22:46

ever, ever thought I would see this. And I

22:49

worked there, as you guys know,

22:50

for more than 20 years. They never approached

22:53

coming close to beating me or

22:56

us. But now, in

22:58

Fox News Week in the state, MSNBC

23:02

gets more viewers. It's just, I sit here, what's

23:05

going on? Because

23:07

that hour is the absolute lowest. Don't

23:10

get worse than that. Never seen it in our

23:12

history. All right, here's the first soundbite,

23:14

CNN, another troubled network.

23:16

Go. For the record, when

23:18

you listen to that phone call asking

23:21

for those 11,780 votes, it sounds an

23:25

awful lot like a mafia. Well, I'll

23:28

say something. And that is, for a jury,

23:30

a kind of crystal clear piece of evidence.

23:33

I've represented gangsters. They're a lot

23:35

more vague than that on the phone. Okay,

23:37

so that's absurd. I mean, mafia,

23:40

mafia what?

23:42

You know, that's the kind of

23:44

bilge, B-I-L-G-E,

23:47

that they're putting

23:50

out there. It's insane. All

23:52

right, here's another soundbite, go. And

23:54

what we saw was an indictment

23:56

come out before the grand jury even

23:59

had a chance to vote. That's un-American,

24:01

it's improper, and it's obvious

24:03

for lack of a better word. So I'm

24:06

hoping the American people get it at this point.

24:09

Okay, so if you're going to bring

24:11

on, and you have to, to some extent,

24:13

a attorney representing Donald

24:15

Trump, you got to challenge that attorney. Now

24:18

in that case, I picked that somebody because she's right. I

24:21

mean, the fix was in Atlanta two and a half

24:23

years ago. This is no surprise

24:25

to anybody. Willison's

24:27

going to do this, Bragg in New York was going to do it because

24:29

now they're stars in the progressive movement.

24:33

That's what they want to be.

24:35

But we're not learning anything

24:37

here. All right, let's bring in Brett Tomlin,

24:39

who's a smart guy. You know him. We've used

24:41

him many times, former prosecutor, federal level

24:44

in Utah. Comes to us from Salt Lake City. So

24:47

I assume you went into public service,

24:51

the law school and everything, and worked

24:53

hard to bring

24:55

justice to the people of

24:58

Utah and the United States. I assume that's

25:00

what motivated you or could have made a lot more money

25:02

in a private sector. Correct?

25:04

That's correct. Okay. So

25:07

now, in my opinion, the justice

25:11

system

25:12

has been co-opted

25:15

by politicians who are trying to destroy each other

25:17

using the justice system. And at this point

25:20

succeeding. Am I wrong?

25:22

No, you're not wrong. And

25:24

I had a conversation with a former US attorney

25:26

friend of mine, a great,

25:29

great gentleman out of Texas. We're politically

25:31

on opposite sides. And he confided

25:34

in me that he never thought

25:36

he would see the day in which the Department of Justice

25:38

was so outwardly

25:40

political and making decisions that

25:45

on its very face, just the cases

25:47

against Trump. He can't stand Donald

25:50

Trump, but he looks at these cases and

25:52

says, I never thought in my lifetime

25:54

I'd see these kinds of cases being

25:56

brought by the Department of Justice. And he

25:58

said he doesn't agree with it.

25:59

thinks that it's the beginning of a chapter in

26:02

which the Department of Justice does this

26:04

routinely. And you

26:06

concur with that analysis?

26:08

I do, although I'm

26:10

still hopeful. I'm hopeful that somebody

26:13

in charge of the Justice

26:15

Department who cleans house and

26:18

who has some thoughtfulness. You

26:20

know, I listened to your introduction

26:23

on John Markle. I didn't know that they were cousins,

26:25

but it reminded me of

26:27

what we need in the Department of Justice,

26:29

someone that has vision and thoughtfulness

26:32

and understands the

26:34

larger picture of the purpose

26:36

of the Department of Justice and the danger

26:39

of utilizing it politically.

26:41

Now, Jack Smith, the special prosecutor,

26:44

doesn't seem to be that man, in my opinion.

26:46

I think he's doing what he's told to do.

26:49

Wrong? No,

26:51

I think he is exactly the man that Merrick

26:53

Garland knew he would be

26:55

able to task with

26:57

coordinating. And I say coordinating because

27:00

it is pretty apparent that there's a coordination

27:03

and it's twofold. It's coordination

27:05

with state prosecutors and then

27:07

a coordination on protecting

27:09

the Biden family. And that's their twofold

27:12

mission. And I think Jack Smith is the perfect guy

27:14

to run one side of it.

27:16

Yeah, he's not. Jack Smith's not involved

27:18

with the Bidens at all. And

27:20

I don't want to do the what aboutism here today.

27:23

I'm going to handle Biden as

27:25

developments break. But

27:27

back to this Trump prosecution,

27:30

would you cede that Donald

27:32

Trump handled some of these things poorly? Yeah,

27:37

I would cede that Donald Trump would

27:39

be an absolute nightmare client in

27:42

a lot of ways. And

27:45

that is, you know, he

27:47

is on a mission himself. But

27:49

yet I back up, Bill, and I think about

27:52

the founders of our Constitution. And one

27:54

thing they they definitely consciously

27:57

did. They

27:58

they did.

27:59

not prohibit an individual

28:02

running for president of the United States with a felony.

28:05

I think they did that knowing that

28:07

there could be an effort

28:10

by those in political power to eliminate

28:13

political opponents utilizing

28:15

the criminal law. And so

28:17

a larger picture, I don't blame him for fighting

28:20

as hard as he is fighting. I think you're right

28:22

that there should be some thoughtfulness in his response

28:24

to each individual case,

28:26

and some are stronger than others.

28:28

But that fight is worth it, and who knows?

28:31

You may be running for president, may win with

28:34

a felony.

28:35

Yeah, and people don't understand

28:37

that Donald Trump as a former president would never

28:40

be sentenced to prison. That would not happen.

28:42

If he were convicted, say, in Georgia where there's

28:45

a mandatory jail sentence, he

28:47

would be in home confinement or some situation

28:49

like that. But still, it

28:51

takes him off the board, and it creates

28:54

so much chaos in our political

28:56

system that with a weak

28:59

Democratic candidate, Joe Biden, you don't

29:01

get weaker than that. He's going into the

29:03

election in 2024, the weakest

29:06

Democratic candidate

29:08

in the past 150 years.

29:11

Maybe Andrew Johnson was weaker, the

29:13

guy who took over after Lincoln, who

29:15

was drunk most of the time.

29:20

But Biden is still weak, and so the only

29:22

thing that Democrats have

29:24

to save themselves is to just make Trump

29:27

the center of attention

29:29

in a negative way, which they're succeeding in doing.

29:32

Now, this is an unfair question

29:34

to you, but

29:36

I don't know what percentage of the

29:38

American people

29:41

understand the bigger picture here,

29:43

that if this succeeds, everybody

29:46

who runs for office from now on

29:48

is the subject, or could be the subject,

29:51

of some

29:52

corrupt prosecutor

29:55

trying to take them out on a trumped

29:57

up charge. Pardon the pun. I don't know.

29:59

get the big picture there.

30:02

Yeah, I have friends that have

30:04

historically said, you know, that Republicans

30:06

should not fight fire with fire.

30:09

They should take the high road and they're

30:12

switching their position on that. They're

30:14

saying we have no choice, but to

30:16

actually engage in this, you know,

30:19

reprehensible use of the criminal

30:21

law. And I see that Bill

30:23

and I see that your voice,

30:25

my voice, many other voices out there are

30:28

trying to be, you know, thoughtfully

30:31

analyzing facts and the law. And

30:34

the thoughtfulness is no longer,

30:36

you know,

30:37

the reasonable

30:42

approach to our criminal justice system anymore

30:45

and that level of analysis is gone.

30:48

The problem here is that most

30:50

Americans are confused about the whole thing. They

30:52

don't know what fake electoral people

30:54

are. They don't know.

30:56

And I'm not scorning

30:58

them for not knowing. It's

31:00

this complicated stuff. A lot of it's complicated.

31:04

And the conservative media

31:07

concentrates on ideology here

31:10

and party stuff,

31:11

all right? Whereby they're not basically

31:15

clarifying the overall

31:17

danger so much as saying,

31:19

well, it's Biden's fault

31:22

or it's Obama's fault or it's

31:24

the Democratic machine or whatever. The

31:27

understanding level of the Americans

31:30

in this entire Trump case, I think

31:32

is very low. Last word.

31:34

Yeah, I think you're so

31:36

right on. And I'm really encouraged.

31:39

You know, I'm hopeful that your

31:41

voice, my voice, others out there are

31:44

going to instill some wisdom and

31:47

thoughtfulness. You know, the civil law

31:49

is entirely capable

31:52

of handling all

31:54

of the election challenges, of handling

31:57

wrongful allegations and...

31:59

all of the outrageousness that we saw

32:02

that came quite

32:04

candidly from Trump,

32:06

from Hillary Clinton before, and then

32:09

all the way back to Bush v. Gore. We saw that our

32:11

legal system all the way

32:13

to the Supreme Court could handle all

32:15

of this and would have shut it all down. But I think

32:17

the Democrats realized very quickly

32:20

that with such a weak candidate, as you indicated,

32:22

their only hope is to utilize the criminal law

32:25

to shut down the voices

32:27

they don't like. And they have a willing accomplice

32:29

in Merrick Garland. I mean, a guy who's just

32:32

going to basically across the board, he'll go

32:34

down to history as one of the worst attorney generals

32:36

ever. There's no doubt in my mind. That's exactly right.

32:39

All right, Brett, thanks very much. We appreciate it.

32:41

And we wanted to know, we called

32:44

a Trump campaign,

32:46

who the lead attorney is now on

32:48

all of this. It's got to be somebody who's coordinating

32:50

it. Then I have one. They

32:54

don't have one now. So,

32:57

you know, so

33:01

January 28th, 2022, all

33:04

right, there was a bridge collapse

33:08

in Pittsburgh, okay, and

33:10

plays called Fern Hollow Creek. And

33:14

the bridge collapsed at 640

33:16

in the morning. So

33:19

yesterday in Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

33:22

again, President Biden

33:24

referred to that roll the tape. A

33:26

lot of you were with me when I was in Pittsburgh. By

33:29

the way, the Pittsburgh is a city of bridges,

33:32

more bridges in Pittsburgh than any other city in America.

33:35

I watched that bridge collapse. I

33:37

got there and saw it collapse with

33:39

over 200 feet off the ground going over

33:42

a valley. It collapsed. Thank

33:45

God school was out during

33:47

the pandemic. Okay,

33:50

that's not true. I mean, Joe Biden arrived

33:52

in Pittsburgh at 2 p.m. He

33:57

didn't see the bridge collapse. Is

34:00

this a big deal? Only because

34:02

it's a sign of dementia. I

34:05

went through this with my mother. I'm sure

34:07

millions of you

34:09

went through it with your relatives.

34:11

He doesn't know what he's saying.

34:14

You know, he said no comment the other day and somebody yelled

34:16

a question about Maui. He didn't know

34:18

what he was saying. He didn't know what the question was. So

34:23

Biden lives here, but

34:27

here is not functioning. And

34:30

there's no doubt about it. You don't say you saw

34:33

a bridge collapse. And then he says,

34:35

a lot of you were with me

34:37

when I was in Pittsburgh.

34:38

What? They live in Milwaukee.

34:42

Why would they be with him in Pittsburgh? You're

34:46

just sitting there going, this guy,

34:48

there's a possibility he'd be reelected

34:51

for four more years? I

34:53

would rather have Trump in Leavenworth running

34:56

the country than him in White

34:58

House. I

35:00

know that sounds crazy, but

35:03

I would rather have that. The

35:38

is the progressives killing

35:41

the cities of America.

35:43

That's what this is, all right?

35:46

So there is a department store, if you've ever been there,

35:48

Gump's. It's a, it sells

35:50

everything. You know, it's a luxury

35:52

upscale store.

35:54

And it's been there for 165 years. It's

35:57

the most famous store in San Francisco. I've

35:59

been there. You probably have if you

36:01

visited that city. So

36:04

the CEO of GUM's John

36:06

Chakiss takes out a full page

36:09

ad in San Francisco Chronicle. I'm

36:11

going to quote two paragraphs.

36:14

GUM says with a San Francisco icon for more

36:16

than 165 years. Today

36:18

as we prepare for a 166 holiday season at 250 Post Street, we

36:23

fear this may be our last because of the profound

36:25

erosion of the city's current condition. San

36:28

Franciscans deserve better than the current conditions

36:30

of our city. GUM's employers, the

36:32

governor, the mayor, and the city supervisors take

36:34

immediate actions, including cleaning

36:36

the city streets, removing homeless encampments, enforcement

36:39

of city and state ordinances, and returning San Francisco

36:41

to his rightful place as one of America's

36:44

shining beacons of urban society. Unquote.

36:47

Well, John

36:50

hit it right on the head.

36:52

This is Newsom's fault. Forget

36:57

about the mayor, London Breed, and the city supervisors. They're loons. They

37:00

can't run anything. Okay.

37:04

What's Newsom doing? Nothing.

37:10

Whole city's right before his eyes.

37:12

LA. So

37:17

there is a Nordstrom's department

37:20

store in, uh,

37:22

in, uh, Topanga

37:24

Mall. I've been there, which

37:26

is north of the city. And

37:29

on Saturday, thieves

37:31

broke in, looted $100,000 worth of merchandise. $100,000 in

37:35

the Nordstrom store. Okay.

37:39

They attacked a security guard. Bear

37:43

sprayed him. 50 of

37:45

them. No arrests. Back

37:49

to me. Back to me. No

37:51

arrests. None. You're

37:55

telling me 50 people run

37:57

into a Nordstrom's. All

38:01

people in the store, all

38:03

people outside this store. Some of

38:05

them had face coverings, yeah. No

38:08

arrests, no

38:10

informers, nobody

38:12

calling the cops. This

38:16

is LA. But

38:19

you know whose fault this is, where San Francisco

38:21

is the fault of Newsom? This

38:25

is the fault of the people in Los Angeles

38:27

who would not recall

38:29

the

38:30

DA Gasón, who

38:32

won't prosecute any

38:35

theft, nothing. You

38:38

can steal it will in LA. He

38:41

doesn't care. Could

38:44

have been recalled. The DA

38:46

in San Francisco was. That's

38:48

why I don't blame the people there. Not

38:51

him, LA, got

38:53

what you deserve. 10 cities

38:56

that had the most theft, LA

38:59

number one, San Francisco number two,

39:02

New York City, almost totally out

39:04

of control here. Houston, Miami,

39:06

Chicago, Sacramento, Seattle, Atlanta,

39:08

Dallas, Fort Worth.

company, which knows what

39:15

the retail theft is. Okay,

39:20

where do we want to go from? Oh,

39:23

so I got an email the other day

39:25

from our pal Bernie Goldberg, okay?

39:28

And Bernie's kind of living large, semi-retired

39:31

in North Carolina.

39:33

So Goldberg's mad about all this looting.

39:36

And he says it's

39:37

far more than crime.

39:40

It reflects our society. And

39:43

so we batted around. So Bernie's coming on.

39:47

Couple of days after Labor Day, I'll give you

39:49

the exact date when we get it. But

39:51

I thought that was really interesting, all

39:53

right? Because I believe that too.

39:56

This isn't just about stealing stuff. This

39:59

is about our whole country. and

40:01

what's happening to it.

40:03

Hunter Biden might be charged under the Foreign Corruption

40:06

Practice Act. I told you about

40:08

this. We already analyzed this. Foreign

40:11

Corruption Practice Act.

40:15

Okay, so I got a letter from

40:17

one of our lawyer viewers, Adele Oatros,

40:20

in Washington State. And

40:23

she says, has anyone

40:25

ever been charged or prosecuted under

40:27

that act? Well, yes, a

40:29

number of people will give you two of the most recent.

40:32

In May of this year, a man named Carrie

40:35

Yan, former president

40:36

of a non-governmental nonprofit,

40:39

sentenced to three years, six months for

40:41

paying bribes

40:44

to people into Marshall Islands.

40:47

Okay, so Carrie is in Clink.

40:51

Then January of this year, a 58-year-old, oh, it's

40:53

his name, Murilio,

41:00

he took bribes to

41:03

get a contract from the Bolivian government.

41:07

Okay,

41:08

and his last name is Murilio.

41:10

I'm looking to see if the first name is on

41:12

here and

41:14

I cannot find it. And that's

41:16

a producer problem that I will deal

41:18

with. So this guy, he

41:20

bribed the Bolivian government to give him a contract.

41:23

And he's now serving 70

41:25

months in prison. That's just two. We have a

41:27

whole line list.

41:29

So it's absolutely viable.

41:32

Smart life. So I

41:34

got a very nice letter from a concierge

41:36

member, and I've been telling you this is a life insurance

41:38

apology for you, if

41:41

you get into trouble. Here's the letter. All

41:43

right, I'm going to withhold the man's name because we

41:45

don't do that for concierge. Everything is

41:47

private. A

41:49

few weeks ago, you saved me a lot of

41:51

money on insurance by suggesting a website

41:53

where I could compare pricing.

41:55

My home and auto insurance had doubled,

41:57

but thanks to you and your smart life segment.

42:00

I've

42:00

now cut my homeowner and autos nearly

42:02

in half with a new policy.

42:04

Therefore, I am going to take a small portion

42:06

of that savings to upgrade my membership to

42:08

Lifetime Concierge, well worth the

42:10

money."

42:11

Okay,

42:12

so the website

42:14

that we

42:16

recommended is PolicyGenius,

42:20

one word, PolicyGenius.com. And

42:23

on this website,

42:24

you can then search all

42:27

the different rates for all the different insurance

42:30

companies. This is what you have

42:32

to do. Right? I'm getting

42:34

gouged and it's really caused me

42:36

an inconvenience. So

42:39

I'm searching around to try to get some

42:41

kind of fair deal. So PolicyGenius.com.

42:45

In addition, we have saved

42:47

a lot of people a lot of money by

42:49

recommending GasBuddy.com.

42:53

GasBuddy, one word.

42:55

You go to that website and you put in your zip code,

42:57

they'll tell you where the cheapest gas is.

43:00

Right? We are in business to

43:03

make it easier for you to

43:05

prosper.

43:06

So thank you very much, Concierge

43:09
