0:00:00.060,0:00:06.319
Brad Johnson there is some really gues
0:00:03.929,0:00:09.269
good news certainly transformative news
0:00:06.319,0:00:12.300
today about a certain potential or
0:00:09.269,0:00:16.949
actual indictment which may mean the
0:00:12.300,0:00:18.420
first domino falls in the coup against
0:00:16.949,0:00:20.250
President Trump I mean against those
0:00:18.420,0:00:24.390
people who’d initiate scoop I got that
0:00:20.250,0:00:27.510
about right yes what you yes I and I
0:00:24.390,0:00:29.730
think that’s exactly just very precise
0:00:27.510,0:00:31.170
in as of just a brief analysis of what’s
0:00:29.730,0:00:33.540
going on the way you laid it out
0:00:31.170,0:00:36.420
so Andrew McCabe the former deputy
0:00:33.540,0:00:38.430
director of the FBI who was fired just
0:00:36.420,0:00:39.899
before his retirement this is something
0:00:38.430,0:00:43.530
that’s being covered quite a little bit
0:00:39.899,0:00:45.960
on the news today it came out that he’s
0:00:43.530,0:00:50.010
going to be formally indicted by the DC
0:00:45.960,0:00:51.690
Court so a federal court so this is very
0:00:50.010,0:00:53.129
interesting the way it’s unfolding and I
0:00:51.690,0:00:54.989
think there’s some very precise reasons
0:00:53.129,0:00:57.629
why first of all the the crime that’s
0:00:54.989,0:00:59.780
being looked at here is that on three
0:00:57.629,0:01:04.559
separate occasions he lied under oath
0:00:59.780,0:01:06.600
and so it’s probably a perjury charge or
0:01:04.559,0:01:09.180
some other things involved it’s not
0:01:06.600,0:01:11.700
clear yet what all will be the precise
0:01:09.180,0:01:13.860
parameters of this indictment but the
0:01:11.700,0:01:16.110
the perjury appears to be the center of
0:01:13.860,0:01:18.350
it so waiting details waiting for the
0:01:16.110,0:01:20.460
actual formal indictment but it looks
0:01:18.350,0:01:23.700
pretty certain that this is going
0:01:20.460,0:01:25.860
forward now so a couple of things are
0:01:23.700,0:01:27.950
very interesting on this to me as as I
0:01:25.860,0:01:29.850
as you know and your listeners know
0:01:27.950,0:01:31.799
something I’m following quite a little
0:01:29.850,0:01:36.030
bit first of all the selection of Andrew
0:01:31.799,0:01:38.430
McCabe Andrew McCabe as a as a person is
0:01:36.030,0:01:40.380
just absolutely ideal I think he was
0:01:38.430,0:01:42.180
very well chosen for this because he
0:01:40.380,0:01:43.979
wasn’t one of the center players I mean
0:01:42.180,0:01:46.409
he’s not the name that we hear over and
0:01:43.979,0:01:48.600
over and over being included in all of
0:01:46.409,0:01:51.030
these things where the steel dossier the
0:01:48.600,0:01:53.070
FISA warrant and all of that he was
0:01:51.030,0:01:54.810
involved but more peripherally so he
0:01:53.070,0:01:57.060
wasn’t at the center of it it was
0:01:54.810,0:02:00.060
handled by James Comey and John Brennan
0:01:57.060,0:02:01.200
and James clapper all of those sorts of
0:02:00.060,0:02:03.210
names that everyone should be familiar
0:02:01.200,0:02:04.770
with the former director of the FBI
0:02:03.210,0:02:06.479
former director of the CIA and the
0:02:04.770,0:02:09.690
former national security adviser to the
0:02:06.479,0:02:12.660
president so back in the Obama days so
0:02:09.690,0:02:13.650
mccabe has been picked to be indicted
0:02:12.660,0:02:15.629
and this is the
0:02:13.650,0:02:17.519
first one and you remember over the last
0:02:15.629,0:02:19.319
couple weeks when Comey was passed over
0:02:17.519,0:02:21.930
on a couple of minor things about
0:02:19.319,0:02:24.269
documents at home now this is the answer
0:02:21.930,0:02:25.470
to that and I think the timing is no
0:02:24.269,0:02:29.430
coincidence either
0:02:25.470,0:02:32.239
today also in this same context the
0:02:29.430,0:02:34.470
Democrats voted to go forward with
0:02:32.239,0:02:36.359
basically an impeachment hearing
0:02:34.470,0:02:37.980
something they know has no chance of
0:02:36.359,0:02:39.959
succeeding would never make it
0:02:37.980,0:02:41.819
probably even out of the house because
0:02:39.959,0:02:43.409
there’s already Democrats who don’t want
0:02:41.819,0:02:45.239
this and are saying that’s not good for
0:02:43.409,0:02:46.709
them in their district to have this go
0:02:45.239,0:02:49.079
forward so they won’t even be able to
0:02:46.709,0:02:51.120
hold the Democratic majority on the
0:02:49.079,0:02:52.950
house side to get this through and if it
0:02:51.120,0:02:54.690
gets to the Senate it’s DOA it’s not
0:02:52.950,0:02:56.609
going to go anywhere so everybody knows
0:02:54.690,0:02:58.829
it cannot work but yet they’re doing it
0:02:56.609,0:03:00.239
and why this is one of the things I’ve
0:02:58.829,0:03:02.189
talked about from the very beginning on
0:03:00.239,0:03:04.200
this the Democrats are going forward
0:03:02.189,0:03:06.930
with this because they have known all
0:03:04.200,0:03:08.430
along what is coming this is a point
0:03:06.930,0:03:11.069
I’ve made a number of times in previous
0:03:08.430,0:03:13.230
interviews they need something to
0:03:11.069,0:03:16.019
counterbalance what they know is coming
0:03:13.230,0:03:18.359
and that first step now we know who it’s
0:03:16.019,0:03:20.129
going to be and it’s going to be McCabe
0:03:18.359,0:03:23.370
and it’s going to be McCabe over this
0:03:20.129,0:03:24.900
perjury the the beauty of that perjury
0:03:23.370,0:03:28.099
thing is that there were three of them
0:03:24.900,0:03:31.709
each of those are independent crimes and
0:03:28.099,0:03:34.769
those laws have teeth so and mccabe has
0:03:31.709,0:03:36.599
put people in jail for doing that so
0:03:34.769,0:03:38.220
he’s only being held to the same
0:03:36.599,0:03:40.620
standard that he’s held other people’s
0:03:38.220,0:03:45.629
to other people too and jailed them for
0:03:40.620,0:03:47.790
so he’s almost certainly you know easily
0:03:45.629,0:03:50.639
proven guilty of this it’s still alleged
0:03:47.790,0:03:52.970
at this point but it that the standards
0:03:50.639,0:03:55.409
are so clearly and easily met and
0:03:52.970,0:03:57.720
documented that he’s got extremely
0:03:55.409,0:04:00.389
difficult legal problems so what’s going
0:03:57.720,0:04:02.760
to happen they’re gonna there that there
0:04:00.389,0:04:06.269
probably will be a deal negotiated with
0:04:02.760,0:04:07.859
him but it’s gonna be Singh tell us the
0:04:06.269,0:04:09.720
whole story tell us who did everything
0:04:07.859,0:04:11.370
and what happened everybody or you’re
0:04:09.720,0:04:14.970
going to prison and meet meet up with
0:04:11.370,0:04:16.680
Bubba and McCabe just you know you that
0:04:14.970,0:04:18.449
guy doesn’t have the huevos to withstand
0:04:16.680,0:04:20.519
anything like that doing hard time in
0:04:18.449,0:04:22.800
jail is something that man would never
0:04:20.519,0:04:25.260
ever ever be able to to do well in that
0:04:22.800,0:04:27.330
environment so he’s gonna he’s gonna
0:04:25.260,0:04:29.280
sing he’s gonna tell everything he knows
0:04:27.330,0:04:30.900
and that’s the problem that Democrats
0:04:29.280,0:04:34.949
are faced with that’s why we’re seeing
0:04:30.900,0:04:36.629
two reasons why we’re seeing the the the
0:04:34.949,0:04:39.960
attempt against the president going
0:04:36.629,0:04:42.599
forward to oust him from office it’s one
0:04:39.960,0:04:46.349
to play to their you know the kind of
0:04:42.599,0:04:49.349
the nutty left-wing extremist base that
0:04:46.349,0:04:51.599
the Democrats now have to play to and so
0:04:49.349,0:04:53.580
going after the president is the only
0:04:51.599,0:04:55.229
thing to placate them and they’re going
0:04:53.580,0:04:57.719
into primaries where they don’t want to
0:04:55.229,0:05:00.539
get primary dan and kicked out of their
0:04:57.719,0:05:02.849
seats like aoc did to that standing
0:05:00.539,0:05:04.830
congressman in New York so they’ve got
0:05:02.849,0:05:07.199
to play to that and also they need
0:05:04.830,0:05:08.819
something to counterbalance these
0:05:07.199,0:05:09.949
indictments that they’re know that are
0:05:08.819,0:05:12.000
coming out the further investigation
0:05:09.949,0:05:13.800
this is the first one there’s going to
0:05:12.000,0:05:16.139
be more and bigger and bigger and bigger
0:05:13.800,0:05:18.599
and they’re in a flip McCabe and the
0:05:16.139,0:05:20.580
whole thing starts to fall apart it’s a
0:05:18.599,0:05:23.310
house of cards this is the first card
0:05:20.580,0:05:25.590
that’s structural being pulled out and
0:05:23.310,0:05:28.379
it now it’s just it’s all over both the
0:05:25.590,0:05:30.029
screaming so that’s how this is playing
0:05:28.379,0:05:33.090
forward that’s why it’s playing forward
0:05:30.029,0:05:35.969
this way and I would say that the next
0:05:33.090,0:05:38.819
six months are going to be very exciting
0:05:35.969,0:05:40.409
with a lot of news and I think the base
0:05:38.819,0:05:42.060
certainly of the people that are
0:05:40.409,0:05:44.460
interested in these interviews but also
0:05:42.060,0:05:46.409
the the majority of the people in the
0:05:44.460,0:05:49.860
United States I think are going to find
0:05:46.409,0:05:52.490
a certain relief and to see these big
0:05:49.860,0:05:55.529
cat guys that are politically corrupt
0:05:52.490,0:05:57.389
assuming that can be proven going down
0:05:55.529,0:05:58.830
on this and getting in trouble over it’s
0:05:57.389,0:06:01.080
something that I would have certainly
0:05:58.830,0:06:02.759
gone to jail for if I’d done any of
0:06:01.080,0:06:04.710
those things that these guys are accused
0:06:02.759,0:06:06.629
of and you and your most of your
0:06:04.710,0:06:08.009
listeners all of us just normal people
0:06:06.629,0:06:10.050
would have gone to jail for this stuff
0:06:08.009,0:06:12.569
immediately without any hesitation and
0:06:10.050,0:06:15.629
yet these guys are all have been above
0:06:12.569,0:06:18.060
the law because they are the law so I
0:06:15.629,0:06:20.520
think it’s going to be a breath of fresh
0:06:18.060,0:06:22.680
air and especially in the United States
0:06:20.520,0:06:25.400
and I think that will have ripple effect
0:06:22.680,0:06:28.589
going outwards I think to have the
0:06:25.400,0:06:31.169
reaffirmation of the Constitution being
0:06:28.589,0:06:33.990
a country of laws is singularly
0:06:31.169,0:06:36.180
important here so I’m very encouraged by
0:06:33.990,0:06:38.159
this up hope people view it generally
0:06:36.180,0:06:39.300
speaking that way and I think it’s
0:06:38.159,0:06:40.680
pretty clear it’s going to play out
0:06:39.300,0:06:42.300
along the line
0:06:40.680,0:06:44.820
of what I’m describing you know these
0:06:42.300,0:06:47.340
things vary from here to there but I
0:06:44.820,0:06:50.370
think a deal with McCabe I think the the
0:06:47.340,0:06:54.060
Democrats trying to pump up this you
0:06:50.370,0:06:56.009
know goofball impeachment idea of
0:06:54.060,0:06:58.229
President Trump for which he’s already
0:06:56.009,0:07:01.289
been cleared and it won’t pass their own
0:06:58.229,0:07:05.130
party’s votes so early I listened to a
0:07:01.289,0:07:08.090
few minutes of the live from the from
0:07:05.130,0:07:10.320
Congress I guess and it was a Democrat
0:07:08.090,0:07:12.660
congressman who was saying that there’s
0:07:10.320,0:07:15.930
300 pages of procedures about
0:07:12.660,0:07:17.250
impeachment and there’s nothing there’s
0:07:15.930,0:07:19.560
nothing that they’re doing that meets
0:07:17.250,0:07:21.360
any of those procedures so the whole
0:07:19.560,0:07:22.620
thing was ludicrous and he didn’t seem
0:07:21.360,0:07:24.090
to get what they were doing it was an
0:07:22.620,0:07:26.580
interesting fellow seemed to have some
0:07:24.090,0:07:29.340
integrity but yeah I guess this is a
0:07:26.580,0:07:31.080
Hail Mary for the Democrats yeah no
0:07:29.340,0:07:33.560
question but but to fight back on
0:07:31.080,0:07:35.370
primaries and to try to counter
0:07:33.560,0:07:37.470
counterbalance what they’re being faced
0:07:35.370,0:07:39.150
with all the Democratic Party
0:07:37.470,0:07:40.979
corruptions coming out in all of these
0:07:39.150,0:07:43.080
things so they’re screwed and all this
0:07:40.979,0:07:46.530
is going to play forward in the
0:07:43.080,0:07:48.389
president’s this next election in 2020
0:07:46.530,0:07:50.520
is a presidential election last year was
0:07:48.389,0:07:52.470
off year the Democrats I mean the
0:07:50.520,0:07:55.110
opposition party always tends to do well
0:07:52.470,0:07:57.599
in that first off year election of a
0:07:55.110,0:08:00.000
president they just always do this now
0:07:57.599,0:08:02.520
is the opposite it tends to be better
0:08:00.000,0:08:05.130
for the party and power the one with the
0:08:02.520,0:08:06.750
president to during the on year
0:08:05.130,0:08:10.169
elections if you will when the president
0:08:06.750,0:08:11.789
is running as in 2020 so they’re very
0:08:10.169,0:08:13.110
afraid of that I mean they don’t may not
0:08:11.789,0:08:15.570
say it but they’re starting to see these
0:08:13.110,0:08:17.460
numbers unfold in their in-house polls
0:08:15.570,0:08:19.020
there’s a lot of the Democratic Party in
0:08:17.460,0:08:20.909
the Republican Party all do internal
0:08:19.020,0:08:25.800
polls they all know what the numbers
0:08:20.909,0:08:27.090
more or tend to really be like and if
0:08:25.800,0:08:28.919
this all keeps going the way it is
0:08:27.090,0:08:32.579
they’re going to get a shellacking
0:08:28.919,0:08:34.620
they’ll the Republicans would gain a few
0:08:32.579,0:08:36.419
houses in the Senate not many because
0:08:34.620,0:08:38.010
most of the seats up for election are
0:08:36.419,0:08:40.289
Republicans so I think they would
0:08:38.010,0:08:43.680
withstand any mini challenges and maybe
0:08:40.289,0:08:45.270
pick up one or two maybe three and on
0:08:43.680,0:08:47.850
the house side I think they would just
0:08:45.270,0:08:49.529
take it to the to the Democrats as all
0:08:47.850,0:08:51.540
this goes forward all these trials start
0:08:49.529,0:08:54.840
to unfold the indictment start to unfold
0:08:51.540,0:08:57.360
the corruption showing that how they try
0:08:54.840,0:08:59.070
unseat duly elected president United
0:08:57.360,0:09:02.070
States and they start getting prison
0:08:59.070,0:09:04.230
sentences so they’ll that’s just it will
0:09:02.070,0:09:06.450
slaughter them it’s precisely what we
0:09:04.230,0:09:08.310
saw under President Nixon now we’re
0:09:06.450,0:09:10.170
going back a ways but when all of these
0:09:08.310,0:09:12.450
legal troubles started to come out we
0:09:10.170,0:09:13.980
saw a radical left-wing nobody get
0:09:12.450,0:09:16.620
elected president United States and that
0:09:13.980,0:09:17.910
was Jimmy Carter at and to this day
0:09:16.620,0:09:20.010
we’re paying the price for having
0:09:17.910,0:09:21.480
elected him to Jimmy Carter I would put
0:09:20.010,0:09:23.370
the problems that we’ve had with Iran at
0:09:21.480,0:09:25.530
his doorstep the reason we have the Iran
0:09:23.370,0:09:28.500
problems today and then building nuclear
0:09:25.530,0:09:30.810
bombs is all Jimmy Carter’s fault this
0:09:28.500,0:09:32.340
was his policies what he enacted and has
0:09:30.810,0:09:37.470
caused those problems but it came out of
0:09:32.340,0:09:38.790
that reaction to the Nixon issues and
0:09:37.470,0:09:41.220
the corruption that was involved there
0:09:38.790,0:09:45.060
and so that was the pushback so I think
0:09:41.220,0:09:47.790
we’re seeing we’re going to see a
0:09:45.060,0:09:51.120
similar situation as when Jimmy Carter
0:09:47.790,0:09:52.560
got elected following the Nixon fiasco
0:09:51.120,0:09:54.540
and I think we’re gonna see something
0:09:52.560,0:09:57.690
similar here I wouldn’t be surprised to
0:09:54.540,0:09:59.160
see a very large much larger majority
0:09:57.690,0:10:01.320
than the Republicans have had for a
0:09:59.160,0:10:05.660
while come back in on the on the house
0:10:01.320,0:10:05.660
side and strengthened in the Senate side
0:10:11.699,0:10:13.759
