It's good to be here. Look, 21 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:52.719 I want to start today by talking about this released this leaked audio, this 22 00:01:52.920 --> 00:02:00.400 leaked audio of President Trump, allegedly President Trump. You know, there's problems 23 00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:07.680 that I have with this. First of all, there's questions in today's world. 24 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:09.919 I was even alluded to this when I was talking with her about this 25 00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:14.960 earlier. And I don't listen to me. I am not making an allegation. 26 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.439 I'm just who we know is in the media, with the forces that 27 00:02:20.479 --> 00:02:27.120 we know that are against Trump, the the fact that they've proven beyond a 28 00:02:27.159 --> 00:02:31.360 reasonable without any doubt, that they are willing to go to any lengths whatsoever. 29 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:37.240 I mean, is it a stretch it to have a question about, 30 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:44.039 you know, just the audio itself. I mean, is it is this 31 00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:47.240 legit? Who was recording it? Who are the people I can't see. 32 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:53.840 I haven't seen the names of the people in the room, which I believe 33 00:02:53.879 --> 00:02:58.960 there's two distinct voices besides Trump. I've listened to it a couple of times, 34 00:03:00.120 --> 00:03:07.280 and this is this is a piece of audio that was leaked that had 35 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:14.039 President Trump apparently based upon what it I mean, you know, with I 36 00:03:14.120 --> 00:03:16.479 just look, I don't know how to say this. I'm not levying the 37 00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:23.280 allegation. I'm just saying I don't trust the people who are involved in this 38 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:30.080 at all. I don't trust the people who have constantly gone after President Trump. 39 00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:36.599 And I don't think it's out of line to just wonder, to wonder 40 00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:42.319 if this is in fact, if this is in fact legitimate, where did 41 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:45.280 they Where did they get it? Why did they get it? If you 42 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.199 remember, and I started to do a search, and I don't know if 43 00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:53.400 if the good bad guy has taken taken I thought I had a search feature 44 00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.840 on the website. I was gonna look to see when I searched or when 45 00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:04.120 I posted in the stack of stuff an article that we just referenced the other 46 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:08.159 day. I remember just referencing it now in my mind the other day. 47 00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.520 With the speed of time, the speed of business, a busy broadcast week 48 00:04:13.560 --> 00:04:16.879 can be pretty fast. So this might have been could have been last week, 49 00:04:17.439 --> 00:04:21.439 possibly the week before, but I seem to recall it was last week 50 00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:30.600 and the judge, the judge personally or specifically instructed Trump not to release I 51 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:38.759 remember talking about this, not to release any evidence or information to the public. 52 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.160 It was directed specifically to Trump, and now it appears it needs to 53 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:46.519 be directed. Of course we knew this anyway, but it should be directed 54 00:04:46.279 --> 00:04:53.319 at people who are on the other side of this particular case. So if 55 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.360 Trump would have released something or the Trump team, you know, the immediate 56 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:03.920 response, I should say reaction from the media from the Democrat Party would be 57 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:11.079 that Trump is trying to win the pr battle, He's jeopardizing the idea that 58 00:05:11.120 --> 00:05:16.000 he can have a fair trial, and that this is he's trying to manipulate 59 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:20.279 the juror pool or whatever it is wherever this thing ends up. That's what 60 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:24.920 they would, you know, they would they would argue this, they would 61 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:28.360 say that it's inappropriate. It's another example of why Trump can't be trusted in 62 00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:30.800 all these sorts of things. Meanwhile, I don't see any concern or question 63 00:05:30.839 --> 00:05:38.480 about where this came from. And look, the authenticity of this with the 64 00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:43.959 technology available today, it is conceivable and I'm not levying this charge. I'm 65 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:46.560 just saying I don't put it past him. If they thought they could get 66 00:05:46.560 --> 00:05:53.519 away with this, and if further their attempt to politically get rid of President 67 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.160 Trump or physically criminally get rid of President Trump, I think that it's I 68 00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:02.439 don't even think it's a question of an opinion. I think it's undeniably true 69 00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:08.959 to say that they would pursue it. These folks stop at nothing, They 70 00:06:09.000 --> 00:06:12.160 stop at nothing. They are terrified of President Trump being on the ticket. 71 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:17.959 They are terrified of the connection President Trump has with his base. Now, 72 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.480 these things are not mutually exclusive, meaning look in theory, and I'm not 73 00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:30.680 talking any specifics here because I'm not doing that yet. In theory, what 74 00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.959 I just said about the media, the radical left, the Democrat Party, 75 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:39.279 the political establishment can be absolutely true, meaning that they would do anything to 76 00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:43.920 get rid of Trump. And it doesn't mean that Trump And I'm not saying 77 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.040 that this is what happened, but I'm just saying logically the options that that 78 00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:53.600 doesn't preclude the other option from being true. That Trump could have could have 79 00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.639 broken some law that justifies this. I do not think that, by the 80 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:03.360 way, I'm just making a statement that these things are not. It can't 81 00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:08.120 be. It doesn't have to be one or the other, right, I 82 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:11.560 mean, it doesn't have to be that, just like just like it could 83 00:07:11.560 --> 00:07:15.319 be that they are held it on getting rid of President Trump, former President 84 00:07:15.360 --> 00:07:20.240 Trump, candidate Trump here in the twenty twenty four campaign, Republican front runner 85 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.120 President Trump here in the campaign. It's perfectly conceivable and logical that they they 86 00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:31.279 the media, they the political establishment, they the I mean, take it 87 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.000 any the deep state. By the way, do you remember maybe I pull 88 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:41.920 this sound bite up? Do you remember several years ago Chuck Schumer speaking with 89 00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.639 I think it was with Rachel Maddow at MSNBC and Trump or excuse me, 90 00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.800 Chuck Schumer said, you don't cross the Intelligence Agency because they have six ways 91 00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:57.600 to Sunday to get back at you. Do you remember that? Just I 92 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:03.680 feel like that's irrelevant thing to at least be aware of as we venture down 93 00:08:03.720 --> 00:08:07.800 this road. And again, I'm not making allegations, I'm just having conversation. 94 00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.560 I'm just pointing this out. When I heard audio, that was one 95 00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:16.560 of my first questions was is this legit? It sounds like Trump, but 96 00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.600 there's potential ways that it may not be. It could be fabricated. I'm 97 00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.560 not suggesting that it is. I'm just saying that's a question I have. 98 00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:30.360 The other the other thing I begin to think is why is this released? 99 00:08:30.720 --> 00:08:37.879 And why is the media? Why is the media just eagerly ready to share 100 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:41.559 this information. Of course we know why. But if Trump and his team 101 00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:46.360 had released evidence that helped his case, so to speak, at least in 102 00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:52.240 the public's eye, we know that somebody in the media somewhere would take some 103 00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:58.279 fake foe make believe moral stand somebody like Don Lemon. It's even in I 104 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.159 don't think he's in get fired at seeing or where was he last wherever it 105 00:09:01.240 --> 00:09:05.600 was he I think he got can maybe maybe not. He's not relevant other 106 00:09:05.639 --> 00:09:11.960 than to say he's one individual that thinks and behaves from my position and estimation, 107 00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:16.600 like basically all the rest, and so some of someones, one of 108 00:09:16.600 --> 00:09:20.159 these foe make believe journalists, is going to take some position that's going to 109 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:28.440 say I cannot in order to maintain a trial that has you know, unbiased 110 00:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.399 people involved and so forth, we don't want to further the circus of this, 111 00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:37.399 of this show trial. We don't want to give President Trump what he 112 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.120 wants. You can see this happening, right, I mean, it's already 113 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:46.039 happened. It's already happened when Trump makes remarks. When he made the remarks 114 00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.759 the day that he was arraigned, the media was very happy to follow follow 115 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:56.039 it all the way up and talk about it all the way up to when 116 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.759 he got to the podium. And then they had to protect you all. 117 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.799 They had to protect you from hearing from Trump. That's what it means now 118 00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:07.240 to be a defender of democracy, not to be not to be a platform 119 00:10:07.919 --> 00:10:15.919 someone in the media that allows people to share their beliefs or arguments or whatever 120 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:22.480 said they want to silence the other side. True media would have covered that 121 00:10:22.399 --> 00:10:28.039 and let Trump say his piece and bring on your pundits and explain why Trump 122 00:10:28.519 --> 00:10:31.960 was completely wrong. But see, they're afraid. They're afraid of the impact 123 00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:37.600 Trump has when he goes straight to the American people for obvious reasons. I 124 00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.240 mean, look at the following Look and the people that are going to hate 125 00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:43.919 him are gonna hate him. I get that, but that this is this 126 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:50.320 is not about finding the truth. This is about stopping a political opponent. 127 00:10:50.360 --> 00:10:54.120 That is one percent what this is about. Now, I'm going to play 128 00:10:54.120 --> 00:10:58.600 the audio and due course I'm not going to get to this segment. I 129 00:10:58.639 --> 00:11:01.320 think the soundbout I have might I don't know, is it two minutes, 130 00:11:01.559 --> 00:11:05.120 I'm not sure, something like that, but but I have. Again, 131 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:11.679 the immediate questions are is this authentic? Not suggesting it's not, But I 132 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.360 don't I don't trust the people. If you don't trust the people who are 133 00:11:16.399 --> 00:11:20.840 bringing you the information, can you trust the information? And I say no, 134 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.480 And then of course they're gonna say, wow, that's because Trump got 135 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.720 you all stain. No, Trump didn't stir me up into this. I've 136 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:35.039 been onto the game of the leftist, insane radical media members for a long 137 00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:39.279 long time, a long time. It's not because Trump called them what the 138 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:43.840 enemy of the people and fake news and all that. Those were nicknames that 139 00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:48.639 they were that were earned, candidly, that's what that was about. And 140 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.600 they, of course act like that's an assault on the First Amendment. Give 141 00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:56.679 me a break. These people are the biggest wosses on the face of planet 142 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:01.679 Earth. They do not want to have an actual debate about the meanings of 143 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:05.080 these words, the allegations. They don't want to have to answer for these 144 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:09.559 things. They don't want to have to explain to you why they will take 145 00:12:09.639 --> 00:12:18.120 this tape and push it out for all their viewers or readers or whatever to 146 00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.080 consume. The last week or two weeks ago, whenever it was, they 147 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:30.600 were sharing a story from the judge who basically was wagging his finger at Trump 148 00:12:30.759 --> 00:12:37.679 saying, don't don't be sharing this information. Don't be sharing evidence out there. 149 00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:45.360 But it's okay when it's leaked allegedly from from the state. So that's 150 00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.960 a problem to me. The other problem is who are these other people? 151 00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:54.320 What is the context? There's no context given. Is he meeting with I 152 00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:58.919 mean it said staff staff or when I read this article, But is it 153 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:05.600 Is it a staffer? Is it someone who's legal counsel that I mean, 154 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:09.879 that's that's a different story legal counsel gets to. I'm not suggesting it is. 155 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:11.919 I'm just saying I don't know if it. I've not seen who this 156 00:13:11.960 --> 00:13:18.440 person is. There's a clear intention here by the media, and again it's 157 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.759 not mutually exclusive from whether or not Trump is guilty or not. I'm gonna 158 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.240 let let let that play out. I have my opinion, you know what 159 00:13:26.279 --> 00:13:31.480 it is. I'm just simply saying they are trying to win another battle here, 160 00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.120 and that is the battle for the narrative, the battle for the for 161 00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:43.039 the political discourse. They see proverbial blood in the water, just like the 162 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:48.279 other candidates who jumped into this race. In fact, I was thinking about 163 00:13:48.320 --> 00:13:54.039 that yesterday. I was thinking, did they did they potentially know more about 164 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:58.480 this? It's I mean, I find myself asking those questions. Did someone 165 00:13:58.919 --> 00:14:01.840 share this evidence with them and say, hey, wink wink, you might 166 00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:05.840 want to think about getting into the into the race. I mean, you 167 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:09.279 could do this with any number of things. But the problem is when you 168 00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:16.840 have nefarious actors in the government who are so hell bent on stopping Trump at 169 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.559 any cost. They have clearly clearly shown us time and time again that that 170 00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:24.840 is what they're prepared to do. So now, once I know that, 171 00:14:24.919 --> 00:14:31.000 once you know that, we have lots of questions and questions candidly, we're 172 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:37.000 never gonna get answers to because the folks that we are asking either are not 173 00:14:37.080 --> 00:14:41.480 being held accountable by the media or the media is complicit in helping them develop 174 00:14:41.519 --> 00:14:46.440 a fake news story, a fake narrative to either not really answer the question 175 00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.559 or to do some sort of a head fake and misdirection for the American people. 176 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:56.480 And so we're sitting here just trying to make make some sense of this. 177 00:14:56.759 --> 00:15:01.440 Now I've got other questions as well, But I'm gonna play this. 178 00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.360 I don't know if a lot of other hosts are playing I don't. I 179 00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:09.480 don't know. I don't listen. I don't listen to anyone else. Um, 180 00:15:11.320 --> 00:15:15.759 but I do. I do think it's important to play it and at 181 00:15:15.840 --> 00:15:18.879 least hear what if you haven't heard it, to hear the continent, well, 182 00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:24.559 there's no context, but to hear what they're actually allegedly saying on the 183 00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.840 tape, so or the recording. I guess I'm I'm an eighties child. 184 00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.600 It was tape. Sometimes you'll hear me say it's on film. Um, 185 00:15:33.720 --> 00:15:37.759 that's that's just the era, my friends. So it's on video, or 186 00:15:37.799 --> 00:15:43.440 it's on audio, it's on some sort of recording device, supposedly, supposedly, 187 00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:46.519 I don't know. Anyway, we're gonna talk about that. We're gonna 188 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:50.600 play it. We're gonna relate it to the case at hand. We're gonna 189 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:56.519 talk about it in terms of what some of Trump's defense has been, not 190 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:00.600 legal defense, but kind of in the market play said the public square, 191 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:07.639 so to speak, the way that he's been arguing his case from that perspective, 192 00:16:07.720 --> 00:16:11.000 or his legal team has been arguing it from that perspective. Anyway, 193 00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:12.879 all that being said, I'm gonna take a break here a little bit long 194 00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:15.840 in this first segment, sit tipe plenty more to get to my friends. 195 00:16:15.840 --> 00:16:19.799 You're listening to conservative not bitter talk. I am your host, the one, 196 00:16:21.399 --> 00:16:37.720 the only, the beloved Todd huff back in just a minute. Welcome 197 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:42.399 back, my friend. Another little interesting tidbit that came out in the news 198 00:16:42.559 --> 00:16:52.440 yesterday. Apparently this stuff is just I don't know this, it's just poetic. 199 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:59.279 Apparently, the only living president as of right now, the only living 200 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:06.359 president who is not going to be if we see the left continue to push 201 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.720 this crazy notion of reparations, the only one who really not even by their 202 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:18.799 argument responsible or should be on the hook financially for reparations. The only living 203 00:17:18.839 --> 00:17:25.839 president, which is the only president that they could not find a connection to 204 00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:33.960 slave owners in America is President Donald Jade Trump. From the reports I read, 205 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:40.680 every other president, every other living president, i should say, has 206 00:17:41.079 --> 00:17:49.519 family connections to slave owner or to slave owners in their families so if not, 207 00:17:49.759 --> 00:17:55.359 don't expect there to be any logic to the way that this reparation stuff 208 00:17:56.000 --> 00:18:00.319 is going to be addressed and argued by the radical leftists and the lovers of 209 00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:07.480 big government and the race baiters candidly, but don't don't don't think that there's 210 00:18:07.559 --> 00:18:11.200 logic that's going to be applied to that. But if they only held the 211 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:18.759 people accountable who are related to individuals who owned slaves, Trump will be off 212 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:22.359 the hook, the only one off the hook for reparations. So just let 213 00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.319 that sink in for a moment. That has to drive them absolutely positively bonkers. 214 00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:33.119 By the way, so last segment, we talked about this audio recording. 215 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:38.559 This I'm looking here in an article from The Hill. This audio recording, 216 00:18:38.599 --> 00:18:45.480 according to The Hill, a former President Trump discussing a secret government document 217 00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:49.640 at his New Jersey club dealt. The article says, the latest blow to 218 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:59.519 his evolving and growing defenses against charges over his retention of classified information. So 219 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:02.359 I want to play this clip. I think it's it might be a couple 220 00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:08.880 of minutes. I don't know, but it is. It's well, there's 221 00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:17.680 it's a little bit different than some of these other charges that have been levied 222 00:19:17.680 --> 00:19:21.119 against Trump. So I want to go through this. I want to play 223 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:25.359 it, I want to address it. I think it's important to to hear, 224 00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:32.119 to understand, to get actual context, to to just know what's what's 225 00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:36.920 out there. And of course I raised some questions last segment, but to 226 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:41.400 me, the biggest, well, there's obvious questions about how is this truly 227 00:19:41.440 --> 00:19:45.240 authentic? Who are we taking at their word here? I mean, some 228 00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:49.680 some legitimate questions, concerns and problems with that, But you know, the 229 00:19:49.720 --> 00:19:56.279 biggest another big question besides that is what we said last segment as well, 230 00:19:56.279 --> 00:20:00.480 which is what why is this happening? I thought the judge who, by 231 00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.799 the way I said he previous segment, I thought, when I said he, 232 00:20:03.920 --> 00:20:08.519 it's a it's a female judge. It is a female judge. And 233 00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:14.720 why presume she's appears to be based upon the name, and from what I 234 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:18.440 can tell by appearances, I don't no one's asked her, to my knowledge, 235 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:26.279 how she identifies. But this judge had made an uh basically told Trump's 236 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:32.880 team to not be releasing anything into the into the media without permission and so 237 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:36.559 forth. But this is apparently okay. I don't know if the other side 238 00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:42.000 was was warned about this. That seems to be awfully, awfully convenient, 239 00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:47.880 wouldn't you say? And again this is this is made for your consumption. 240 00:20:48.160 --> 00:20:53.519 This trial is an extension of everything else that we've witnessed during the Trump years. 241 00:20:55.960 --> 00:21:00.960 And it's an extension of impeachment one, impeachment to Russian collusion, spying 242 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:04.319 on his campaign, all that stuff January sixth, and now and now this 243 00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:12.720 now, assuming this audio is I mean authentic, I don't know. I 244 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:18.240 still need some more information about this, given given the actors involved, how 245 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:22.359 much they hate Trump, what they're willing to do. Just like, just 246 00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:29.440 like yesterday we talked about the letter that was written by the fifty one intelligence 247 00:21:29.480 --> 00:21:33.839 professionals. It was reported yesterday or maybe the day before. We talked about 248 00:21:33.839 --> 00:21:41.279 it briefly yesterday. Those fifty one professionals would have known that the FBI had 249 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:47.680 already by the time they wrote their silly little letter, the FBI had already 250 00:21:48.720 --> 00:21:55.559 decided or realized that the Hunter Biden laptop was legitimate. And yet these jokers 251 00:21:55.559 --> 00:22:00.079 and clowns are out there writing an op ed that they all sign. A 252 00:22:00.160 --> 00:22:07.319 couple of weeks before election Day twenty twenty. They published this thing. They 253 00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.160 tell the American people that this has all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. 254 00:22:12.240 --> 00:22:18.519 It's just it's pathetic and ridiculous that this stuff works on people. It's 255 00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:26.279 it's it's patently absurd. I just I question the critical thinking skills of people 256 00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:30.599 that that that actually impacted. I just it's craziness to me that that that's. 257 00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.960 Again, I know what we're dealing with. But so we have all 258 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:40.079 of these these things, and this is they're willing to do anything, I 259 00:22:40.200 --> 00:22:45.920 mean anything. Boy that that's a whole other subject that I don't want to 260 00:22:45.920 --> 00:22:48.799 get into right now. But I don't know that anything's actually I'm certain for 261 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:56.000 some of these totalitarians lovers of big government, nothing is off limits. Look 262 00:22:56.000 --> 00:23:00.920 at how they dealt with the American people on on COVID and masks and vaccines. 263 00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.519 I mean, it's it's remarkable what we've seen these past few years. 264 00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:11.319 So that is a factor. But that said, let's just for a moment 265 00:23:11.359 --> 00:23:17.200 assume that this is legitimate, which it very well may be. But let's 266 00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:22.359 listen to this and let's see what all the hubbub is about, and then 267 00:23:22.359 --> 00:23:27.880 we're going to kind of well compare and contrast. Well, not so much 268 00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:33.720 compare and contrast. We're going to talk about the defenses or the way that 269 00:23:34.039 --> 00:23:38.920 Trump and his team thus far have handled these charges and how that might be 270 00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:44.079 impacted from this from least this leaked audio so here it is. I think 271 00:23:44.119 --> 00:23:48.960 it's a couple of minutes long. This is supposedly audio that was recorded of 272 00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:56.720 Trump in his New Jersey club talking about classified documents. Here it is. 273 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:06.119 He's a bit sick, louder. That was your cue, you know, 274 00:24:06.759 --> 00:24:11.039 against you. Well, it started right at Milly's talking about oh, you 275 00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:12.599 were going to try to do a cup. They were trying to do that 276 00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:18.559 before you even were sworn in. That's right. Well with Millie, let 277 00:24:18.559 --> 00:24:22.880 me see that. I show you an example. He said, paper stuff. 278 00:24:23.079 --> 00:24:29.039 I wanted to attack a run. Isn't it amazing? I have a 279 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:33.599 big pilot papers. This thing just came up. Look, this was him. 280 00:24:33.799 --> 00:24:37.279 They presented me. This is so off the record, but they presented 281 00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:42.240 me this, This was him. This was the Defense Department in him. 282 00:24:42.440 --> 00:24:45.279 Wow, we looked at him. This was him. This wasn't done by 283 00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:52.119 me. This was him. All sorts of stuff, pages long. Wait 284 00:24:52.160 --> 00:25:00.119 a minute, let's see yeah, pages yeah, it was amazing. This 285 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:07.319 totally wins my case, you know, except it is like highly secreted for 286 00:25:07.480 --> 00:25:11.519 it. Look look at this your attack and Hillary would print that out all 287 00:25:11.519 --> 00:25:21.119 the time, you know, she sent it to Anthony Winner, by the 288 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.000 way, is not incredible. Yeah, I was just saying, because we 289 00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:26.559 were talking about it, and you know, he said he wanted to attack 290 00:25:26.839 --> 00:25:34.839 Ron and what he's this was done by the military given to me. I 291 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:44.480 think we can probably I don't know, ye this President, I could have 292 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:48.519 deple No, I can't, you know, but this is isn't that interesting? 293 00:25:49.119 --> 00:25:55.559 It's so cool. So look we heard ivan and you probably almost didn't 294 00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:59.279 believe me, but now you believe me. It's incredible. Right now, 295 00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:04.319 it brings So that's the end of the of the clip. Now, of 296 00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:10.960 course, so what's that all about? Ultimately, so one of Trump's primary 297 00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.119 arguments so far. Now, again, this has not gone into into the 298 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.680 courtroom or anything at this point. This is well, I mean, we've 299 00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:25.960 gone through the beginning phases. There's not been a defense that's been actually mounted 300 00:26:25.960 --> 00:26:32.039 in this particular case at this particular time. But the Trump team has been 301 00:26:32.079 --> 00:26:34.799 talking about different things, and one of those things is that the president has 302 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:42.200 absolute authority to declassified documents. And so the argument goes, when he brought 303 00:26:42.200 --> 00:26:49.039 those documents home, he effectively declassified them. I'm just telling you the argument 304 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.839 I'm saying. I'm not speaking to whether or not I think. I'm not 305 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:56.839 an attorney, so it doesn't really matter in that in that case. But 306 00:26:56.920 --> 00:27:00.319 I'm just saying that this is one of the arguments that has been put out 307 00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:06.039 there that he can declassify things. So this becomes a moot point. But 308 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.279 on the video or excuse me, the audio recording, he is saying. 309 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:18.319 He's saying that he could have he could have declassified at as president, but 310 00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.200 he cannot. Now he cannot. Now it's a shame. And so the 311 00:27:22.359 --> 00:27:29.680 argument is obviously that hey, he knew when he was going through these documents 312 00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:33.720 that they were not declassified. He admits it, and so the question then 313 00:27:33.799 --> 00:27:40.839 becomes, now what now. What's interesting is, again, I'm not an 314 00:27:40.880 --> 00:27:44.599 attorney. I don't even play one on the show. But what is interesting 315 00:27:44.839 --> 00:27:51.960 is that the prosecution in this case, as Jack Smith, has decided to 316 00:27:52.279 --> 00:28:02.519 use the Espionage Act as the law to base his case, primarily upon that 317 00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.279 he did not go to the Presidential Records Act which, by the way, 318 00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:18.119 the Presidential Records Act doesn't have does not have criminal punishments or whatever alongside of 319 00:28:18.119 --> 00:28:22.119 it. It's not something that's designed for that. It's designed to kind of 320 00:28:22.599 --> 00:28:29.799 give a roadmap as to how presidential records are supposed to be managed and maintained 321 00:28:29.839 --> 00:28:33.200 in that process and so forth. So some people are saying, look, 322 00:28:33.200 --> 00:28:38.640 this undermines that argument that defense is gone. But even if it does, 323 00:28:38.839 --> 00:28:41.519 I mean, there's a whole bunch of other things that have to be proven 324 00:28:41.559 --> 00:28:45.359 here, a whole bunch of other things. I had lunch with a friend 325 00:28:45.400 --> 00:28:53.720 the other day and he basically assumed believes that Trump has done a lot of 326 00:28:53.720 --> 00:28:59.640 people think this. People think he's going to be convicted. And again, 327 00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:03.880 I put nothing passed. I didn't put nothing past them as far as what 328 00:29:03.920 --> 00:29:07.720 they can can pull off here. But there's a whole lot more that has 329 00:29:07.759 --> 00:29:11.960 to be proven from this. Now. I'm not minimizing this and saying it's 330 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:18.440 no big deal if that is Trump's Trump's defense, but it's there's this isn't 331 00:29:18.480 --> 00:29:22.640 as cut and dry as that, right, There's there's actually a verse in 332 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:26.799 the Bible it says I'm paraphrasing, but it says, you know, the 333 00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:34.839 basically, I'm really paraphrasing here, but the prosecution's side sounds correct when they 334 00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:42.440 are at first presenting their case until the other side gets to speak up and 335 00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:48.319 respond and deal with it and give their version or begin to interact and present 336 00:29:48.880 --> 00:29:53.759 an explanation of events and evidence and so forth. So really long in this 337 00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:56.400 segment, but I wanted to play that. Get that in there. We'll 338 00:29:56.400 --> 00:30:00.640 continue to talk about this on the other side of the break. So type 339 00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:14.759 my friends back in a minute. I'll come back to my friends. So, 340 00:30:15.720 --> 00:30:21.359 I mean, this is this is going to be this trial that Trump 341 00:30:21.519 --> 00:30:26.440 is in. This is going to be different than some of the other things 342 00:30:26.440 --> 00:30:32.079 that he has been through. And I'm not predicting. I'm not predicting that 343 00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:37.279 he's not going to walk through it. I still think that he can walk 344 00:30:37.359 --> 00:30:44.160 through it. I still think. But again that's not you know, the 345 00:30:44.359 --> 00:30:48.559 Left has an objective here. The objective is to keep Trump from winning the 346 00:30:48.599 --> 00:30:56.240 presidency and having their guy, which at this stage is still inexplicably Joe Biden. 347 00:30:56.960 --> 00:30:59.880 He may not know it yet, but he's still the guy. So 348 00:31:00.480 --> 00:31:07.039 we have a situation where one side is prepared to do whatever and I mean 349 00:31:07.319 --> 00:31:14.240 whatever it takes to prevent that. We are talking about some incredibly wicked, 350 00:31:14.559 --> 00:31:21.359 deceitful, horrible people that are prepared to do whatever it takes. On the 351 00:31:21.359 --> 00:31:26.079 other side, we've got a guy that is going to fight to the bitter 352 00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:29.759 end. I mean, he's not going to give it. He's not he's 353 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:34.400 not going to stop. And so they on the one hand, the left 354 00:31:34.400 --> 00:31:41.559 in the media, they don't care how this what it actually what piece of 355 00:31:41.559 --> 00:31:47.079 this can actually prevent him from being the nominee or the presidential well, the 356 00:31:47.119 --> 00:31:51.319 winner of the campaign in twenty twenty four, the elected president. There's several 357 00:31:51.319 --> 00:31:56.079 ways that this can hurt them, the Trump campaign, but there's also, 358 00:31:56.160 --> 00:32:00.200 as we've seen from polling, there's many ways, or at least one main 359 00:32:00.279 --> 00:32:05.799 way that this can help them. And that's because people don't want to see. 360 00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:08.319 And again, I had lunch with a good friend who said this. 361 00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:12.720 He's not a Trump He's not a Trump guy. He's a limited government guy. 362 00:32:12.720 --> 00:32:15.079 I don't know if I call him a conservative, but maybe in some 363 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:20.319 ways he's close to it. He's at least center right. He's he likes 364 00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:23.160 he's a capitalist. He's not a leftist. He's not a liberal. He 365 00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:30.480 might have some liberal views on some things, but he's he's certainly a reasonable 366 00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:39.200 a person that doesn't want to see the government targeting the political opposition, and 367 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.839 that's what many people see here. In fact, he made a statement to 368 00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:45.240 me, he said, you know, he said, a year ago, 369 00:32:45.279 --> 00:32:50.119 you couldn't have convinced me that they would do. And I don't know if 370 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:53.359 he was talking about that targeting Trump politically or something else. But there's so 371 00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:58.079 many crazy things going on it's hard to keep track. But the point is 372 00:32:58.079 --> 00:33:04.039 is that I think more and more people are like my friend, who are 373 00:33:04.119 --> 00:33:09.519 realizing that there is that is that this is all part of a strategy. 374 00:33:09.880 --> 00:33:14.720 And whether again, whether they get him in handcuffs and a guilty conviction, 375 00:33:15.279 --> 00:33:17.480 which they would love, that's the number one on their list. They will 376 00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:23.079 would love that for many, many reasons. But even if that's not the 377 00:33:23.240 --> 00:33:25.720 solution, if they can get him in the muck and the mire and it 378 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:31.880 prevents him from really winning the Republican nomination, again, I'm not predicting that, 379 00:33:31.880 --> 00:33:37.119 but that's a possibility, if they can get it to effect his fundraising 380 00:33:37.319 --> 00:33:42.839 dollars, if it can somehow create enough of an opportunity for someone and the 381 00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:46.400 only someone that can beat Trump even remotely has a chance is the Santis. 382 00:33:47.680 --> 00:33:52.480 If that presents an opportunity for that in the you know, for that to 383 00:33:52.480 --> 00:33:57.160 be the case, they're okay with that. They don't ultimately care. If 384 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:00.480 there's something that happens that prevents Trump from being able to win, or that 385 00:34:00.680 --> 00:34:05.519 causes so much political damage that they don't think he can win, then they're 386 00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:08.039 cool with that. The problem is, they know, they know the data. 387 00:34:08.119 --> 00:34:12.239 These are not idiots. They might be morally bankrupt, they might be 388 00:34:12.239 --> 00:34:16.039 completely evil and wicked to the core, they might be compromised in every conceivable 389 00:34:16.079 --> 00:34:22.000 way, but they're not stupid, right, They're not. They're not idiots. 390 00:34:22.639 --> 00:34:30.639 They're strategic and they've calculated the cost here, They've projected the risk, 391 00:34:31.360 --> 00:34:37.639 and it is worth it to them to take these steps knowing that it's going 392 00:34:37.679 --> 00:34:40.360 to drive more people to Trump. With that, that should tell you much 393 00:34:40.400 --> 00:34:45.199 of what you what you need to know here. At the same time, 394 00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:50.079 even while all those things are true, there are there's gonna be I mean, 395 00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.960 Trump's attorneys, Trump's defense is going to have to contend with these things. 396 00:34:53.559 --> 00:34:57.199 And there's there's two trials going on, right, there's the one in 397 00:34:57.239 --> 00:35:02.519 the courtroom, and then there's the one in the public square, and that's 398 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:07.800 the one. They don't care which one that they win. They you know, 399 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:13.760 the left and the morally bankrupt folks that are fueling all this nonsense. 400 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:21.239 And then meanwhile, meanwhile, we literally have documents that show up everywhere else 401 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:30.239 Vice President Pence Obama's office that he's rinning in Chicago, Biden's garage, although 402 00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:32.639 we're not supposed to worry about that because he's got his classic corvette in there, 403 00:35:32.639 --> 00:35:36.679 so we should know that he's taking care of that thing. And by 404 00:35:36.719 --> 00:35:40.239 extension, the documents that are strewn all over the back of the corvette on 405 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:45.320 the workbench. Who knows wherever those things are are located. That doesn't matter. 406 00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:49.679 None of that matters. And to critical thinking people, I mean, 407 00:35:49.880 --> 00:35:54.159 these there's numerous examples of a clear double standard here, of a clear double 408 00:35:54.199 --> 00:35:58.880 standard. And then on top of all of that, to go after the 409 00:35:58.920 --> 00:36:02.280 guy for the s bei Anaje Act, which the purpose of the Espionajact. 410 00:36:02.280 --> 00:36:06.800 You'll see leftists and liberals that'll try to say, well, it's not just 411 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.880 about foreign spying. I mean, that's the whole initial premise of this thing. 412 00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.239 Now, there are things that have been added over the course of time 413 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:21.360 to the Espionage Act, But are we really in making the argument that the 414 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:30.239 former president of the United States was engaged in trying to harm this country by 415 00:36:30.320 --> 00:36:37.719 giving its enemies secrets? I mean, that's not what that audio indicated. 416 00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:42.760 Right. Even even if there are questions he asked to answer, how is 417 00:36:42.800 --> 00:36:46.599 it still espionage? Well, Todd, it's not just about I think that 418 00:36:46.599 --> 00:36:52.360 that that's not accurate. Yes, there are some things in there that raise 419 00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:57.280 questions and the Espionage Act, but that's not what this was about. This 420 00:36:57.320 --> 00:37:00.920 was about records of the presidency. The Presidential Records Act applies. There's no 421 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:08.960 criminal penalties for Presidential Records Act disputes and so forth. That's where we were 422 00:37:09.000 --> 00:37:16.039 with this. There was communication going on between Trump's team and the National Archives, 423 00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:22.079 and there was again communication here. I think, I think there's still 424 00:37:22.199 --> 00:37:28.239 multiple defenses here. But I mean, look, if this tape is or 425 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:31.719 this recording is accurate, I mean, there's legitimate things that the defense is 426 00:37:31.760 --> 00:37:37.239 going to have to at least try to explain or deal with or something. 427 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:42.599 So anyway, time out is in order. My friends, sit sight back 428 00:37:42.599 --> 00:38:02.119 in just a minute. Welcome back, my friends. So in I referenced 429 00:38:02.159 --> 00:38:07.440 this verse in the Bible, and again, I just there's a lot going 430 00:38:07.440 --> 00:38:10.559 on here in this case, and I think there are things that the Trump 431 00:38:10.559 --> 00:38:17.639 team are going to have to address both in that courtroom and also also from 432 00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:24.079 a well a pr perspective, the positioning of this whole thing. But right 433 00:38:24.119 --> 00:38:28.639 now we're just getting one side of the argument. One side of the argument, 434 00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:31.960 by the way, that's being leaked by someone who's not on team Trump, 435 00:38:34.199 --> 00:38:36.960 and Team Trump was the one that was warned not to do it. 436 00:38:37.000 --> 00:38:40.039 But it's Proverbs. Book of Proverbs, chapter eighteen, verse seventeen says this 437 00:38:40.119 --> 00:38:45.320 in a lawsuit, the first to speak seems right, I said, the 438 00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:49.920 prosecution, because in our system that is the first side to speak until someone 439 00:38:50.000 --> 00:38:53.719 comes forward and across examines. And that's that's why we do it this way, 440 00:38:53.800 --> 00:38:58.480 right, I mean, that's why our system is the way that it 441 00:38:58.639 --> 00:39:01.599 is. Context matters. We can't just let one side and make the case 442 00:39:01.760 --> 00:39:07.480 and not have anything else. That's why the system is beautiful system. American 443 00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.880 system is a beautiful system. So, but there are legitimate questions this is 444 00:39:10.920 --> 00:39:15.519 not the same as everything else he's dealt with, but it's still something that 445 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:17.679 I think he can he can get through and deal with. The times just 446 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:32.480 not on my side today. My friends back in just a minute. All 447 00:39:32.519 --> 00:39:38.639 right, my friends, all the time that we have today, so buckle 448 00:39:38.760 --> 00:39:45.039 up for this. We got what trial dates that are being potentially pushed from 449 00:39:45.159 --> 00:39:52.440 around August the next say, six weeks away to the prosecutor Jack Smith wants 450 00:39:52.480 --> 00:39:59.639 this to be tried beginning in around December eleventh, I think is what it 451 00:39:59.719 --> 00:40:05.719 was. But this stuff's all coming and we're also going head first into the 452 00:40:05.760 --> 00:40:10.400 campaign season, so makes a little bit more sense based upon that recording. 453 00:40:12.199 --> 00:40:15.559 Why some of these folks through their name in the hat isn't enough to make 454 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.679 a difference. Time will tell. Context matters. We gotta let this thing 455 00:40:19.719 --> 00:40:21.480 play out, but I've got to wrap up for the day. The music 456 00:40:21.559 --> 00:40:23.199 is telling me it's time to shut her down. My friends, have a 457 00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:24.000 great day. STG.
