  Speaker 1: Something that caught my attention on this story buried at
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the bottom of a New York Times piece about DCUs
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: attorney Janine Piro a note about the fact that Washington
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: DC limits prosecutions of criminal offenders under the age of
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: twenty five. Let me say that again. They limit the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: prosecution of people under the age of twenty five in Washington,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: d C. I'm sorry, what who do you think is
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: committing the crimes the roving bands of teenage carjackers. Of
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: course they're under the age of twenty five, and they
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: limit the prosecutions there, folks, Washington d C needed an intervention,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and Donald Trump's intervention was right and justified and couldn't
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: come soon enough.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We're going to have a meeting. I think if everything
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: works out well today, we'll have a trilad and I
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: think there will be a reasonable chance of ending the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: war when we do that.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Is this the end of the road for American support
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: before you, Frank, is today's meeting deal or no deal?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I can never say that. It's never the end of
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the road. People are being killed and we want to
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: stop that, so I would not say it's the end
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: of the road.
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: I think we have a good chance of doing it.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: It's been almost four years now that a lot of
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: people were killed last week. A lot of people last week.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I mean millions of people killed, but a lot of
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: people last week for whatever reason, a big number, a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: lot of soldiers, both on both sides. And I know
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the president, I know myself, and I believe Vladimir Putin
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: wants to see it ending.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: Scott Jennings just exposed this liberal panelist and made her
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: look foolish.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: It's about shrinking government, so that'll be too small to
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: stop Trump with whatever else is in this plan. Why
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: would that government?
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Why would the government stop Trump need a head of
• 2:00
  Speaker 6: the government, and you're saying the government would be too
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: small to stop Trump. If Trump's the president, why would
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: the government the bureaucracy be actively trying to stop him?
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Because they were constitution and creating an authoritarian dictatorship. That's why,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: no matter who was in office, I'm going to hold
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: them accountable. But more importantly, I'm going to make sure
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: the government is working for the American people.
• 2:19
  Speaker 6: Both of you a managing point, which is that your
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: view is that Trump is shredding the constitution. I'd like
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: to hear more about that, but that it seems to
• 2:27
  Speaker 6: me that you will both believe that the unelected part
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: of our government, the bureaucracy, has a responsibility to resist
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: the political leadership.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Is that your view, that's not actually not at all.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: That they are holding the constitution, the principles of the Constitution,
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: and at.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Time how Trump shredding the constitution.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: God, he's but Trump's not making peace for politics or
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: for the Nobel Peace Prize, maybe just a little.
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: He's doing it because he wants to walk through the
• 2:55
  Speaker 6: pearly gates.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I want to try and get to Heaven if possible.
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: I'm hearing I'm not doing well.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I really hit the bottom of the totem pole.
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: But if I can get to heaven, this will be
• 3:06
  Speaker 7: one of the reasons.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: We've had enough.
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: We've had enough that them taking all of our rights away,
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: and so I've taken a stand.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Hell yes, I'm pushing back.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Overnight and Democratic Texas lawmaker spent the night on the
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: State House floor.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: She's still there.
• 3:22
  Speaker 9: What State Representative Nicole Collier is doing here is protesting
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: this requirement that the House Democrats agreed to be an
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: under police escort until they returned to the chamber on
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: Wednesday morning. The Texas House Speaker announced this yesterday when
• 3:39
  Speaker 9: they had returned, saying that they would be confined and
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: locked into the House floor unless they signed a written agreement. Now,
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: the hope from the GOP is they want to make
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: sure that they don't have another quorum break and could
• 3:51
  Speaker 9: actually get to this redistricting bill. But Collier has said
• 3:54
  Speaker 9: that she will not comply with that request.
• 3:57
  Speaker 8: I refuse to sign the permission slip to be able
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: to leave the capital. I disagree with that authoritarian.
• 4:09
  Speaker 9: Pat There is little that Democrats can do in this
• 4:12
  Speaker 9: moment to stop Republicans from pushing through these congressional maps
• 4:16
  Speaker 9: that could net them up to five US House seats
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: in the next midterm election. They're starting to turn their
• 4:23
  Speaker 9: attention to making the legal arguments for why the courts
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: should strike down these laws once they go into effect.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Scott Jennings just obliterated Gavin Newsom on CNN. Let me summarize.
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Let me summarize Gavin Newsom's speech today.
• 4:37
  Speaker 10: Jerry Mandering is evil. Please vote for my jerry mandering.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: Of course, he failed to mention that it's already jerry mandered.
• 4:44
  Speaker 10: Republicans get forty percent of the vote in California, they
• 4:47
  Speaker 10: have seventeen percent of the congressional seats under a supposed
• 4:50
  Speaker 10: independent redistricting commission. So we're going to further jerrymander the jerrymandering.
• 4:56
  Speaker 7: By that standard.
• 4:57
  Speaker 10: Scott Texas is also jerry manders.
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: So I want to keep about Illinois here.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Here's the issue.
• 5:03
  Speaker 11: I think.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: A regular census the legislature there jerry mander in Illinois.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for being here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 11: Thanks so much, a friend.
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: You're not acting at all thankful, and that's not a
• 5:17
  Speaker 7: nice thing. I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing,
• 5:20
  Speaker 7: thinks them.
• 5:21
  Speaker 12: Thank you. We're a muchful invitation.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Thank you very much for being here.
• 5:25
  Speaker 7: You don't have the cards right now with us. You
• 5:28
  Speaker 7: start having right now, You don't your plays. You're gambling
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: with the lives, and millions of people think you're gambling
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: with World War three.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: As you listen to Russia and Ukraine, which side has
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the better cards.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Well, I don't want to say that. I'm just gonna
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I'm just here to be Look, this isn't my war.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: This is Joe Biden's war. He's the one that had
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: a lot to do with this happening, and we want
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: to get it ended, and we wanted to end good
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: for everybody. We wanted to end good. The people of
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Ukraine have suffered incredibly. I'm alive with the world and
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I want to get this thing over with. You see
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the hatred he's got for Putin. That's very tough for
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: me to make a deal with that kind of hate.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: You've got tremendous hatred. Millions of people killed, but a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: lot of people last week for whatever reason, a big number,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of soldiers, both on both sides. And I
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: know the president, I know myself, and I believe Vladimir
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Putin wants to see it ended. How did you wear
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a suit?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: You're the highest level in this country's.
• 6:26
  Speaker 7: Office and you refuse to wear a suit.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: You just want to see people.
• 6:29
  Speaker 12: Do you own a suit?
• 6:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah?
• 6:30
  Speaker 12: Yeah, problem.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: the dangy office presidents of Leskey. You look fabulous in
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: that suit. I said, yeah, look you look good. I
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: said the same thing, Yeah looks good.
• 6:43
  Speaker 9: I said.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: The one that attacked you last time, I remember that.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I apologize to you.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Look you look wonderful.
• 6:49
  Speaker 12: Westernitas came out of that White House meeting, accentuating the positive. Meanwhile,
• 6:53
  Speaker 12: in Moscow TV bulletins, Super Scotian and trump Old newspapers,
• 7:02
  Speaker 12: This headline in a Moscow tabloid reads Zelensky's dead end.
• 7:06
  Speaker 12: Trump clashed harshly with Mouts over Ukraine at the White
• 7:09
  Speaker 12: House and then called Putin. That harsh clash in reality
• 7:13
  Speaker 12: more of a polite disagreement over whether a ceasefire should
• 7:16
  Speaker 12: come first in Ukraine before a peace settlement. But for
• 7:19
  Speaker 12: Russia it's an opportunity to undermine Transatlantic unity.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: On Yevo Commander Mattierro.
• 7:31
  Speaker 12: Mostoutschumnados undermining Zelenski also a running theme. The Russian leader
• 7:39
  Speaker 12: has long come out against such negotiations, with the quote
• 7:42
  Speaker 12: expired and therefore illegitimate, Zelenski stated this Moscow Daily newspaper.
• 7:46
  Speaker 12: Expired is now a frequent term in the Russian media,
• 7:49
  Speaker 12: referring of course to Ukraine's deferral of elections because of
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: the war, and former President Dmitri Midvedev went one step
• 7:56
  Speaker 12: further on ex calling Zelenski the kiv clown. But of course,
• 8:00
  Speaker 12: look not just at what Russia says. With Trump no
• 8:03
  Speaker 12: longer pressuring Moscow to agree to a cease fire. Monday
• 8:06
  Speaker 12: night saw the largest air attack on Ukraine so far
• 8:10
  Speaker 12: in August.
• 8:11
  Speaker 13: So far, what is out there is a fair amount.
• 8:15
  Speaker 13: It might not be everything people want, but what has
• 8:18
  Speaker 13: been released so far has been largely in the trial
• 8:21
  Speaker 13: of Glene Maxwell and in litigation. And I just looked
• 8:25
  Speaker 13: back to what the Justice Department put out at the
• 8:27
  Speaker 13: beginning of this year. That's things that look like this.
• 8:30
  Speaker 13: This would be the contact book or part of the
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: contact book with heavy redactions. That's those black dots there,
• 8:37
  Speaker 13: those black boxes that would be the redactions of the
• 8:41
  Speaker 13: contact book that the Justice Department released earlier, the sort
• 8:45
  Speaker 13: of thing that already came out in trial. So again
• 8:47
  Speaker 13: we go back to this point, is there anything new here?
• 8:52
  Speaker 13: Could there be anything new released? Still Hanging over all
• 8:56
  Speaker 13: of this, though, is another piece of documentation around Jeffrey
• 9:00
  Speaker 13: Epstein and Gallaine Maxwell that didn't exist even a month ago.
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: That's a transcript of Ghlaine Maxwell speaking to the current
• 9:09
  Speaker 13: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a top leader in the
• 9:13
  Speaker 13: Justice Department. She spoke to him under an immunity agreement
• 9:17
  Speaker 13: at a US Attorney's office while she's serving time in
• 9:19
  Speaker 13: prison for sex trafficking of minors. She spoke to him
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: at the end of July.
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: There's been a lot of.
• 9:25
  Speaker 13: Questions of whether the Justice Department will release that documentation,
• 9:29
  Speaker 13: and we just don't know if they will yet. Sometimes
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: we hear they may, they haven't, and it's not something
• 9:36
  Speaker 13: that the House Oversight Committee has specifically asked for.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: So the Jeff.
• 9:40
  Speaker 13: Epstein files, the Epstein Files, it's a lot of material.
• 9:45
  Speaker 13: There's a lot of different ways that Congress, federal courts,
• 9:50
  Speaker 13: the Justice Department, and others are trying to pick at
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: that information to try and get it out into the
• 9:56
  Speaker 13: public sphere. We just don't know what will be released
• 9:59
  Speaker 13: yet and if it will satisfy all those people who
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: want more information.
• 10:03
  Speaker 11: New video obtained exclusively by CNN. It shows the director
• 10:07
  Speaker 11: of the DOJ's Weaponization Working Group, Ed Martin, posing for
• 10:11
  Speaker 11: photos outside of New York Attorney General Leticia James's home
• 10:14
  Speaker 11: last week.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: Ed Martin was recently put in charge of the investigations
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: into New York Attorney General Leticia James. There's an investigation
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: looking into whether she committed mortgage fraud and also an
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: investigation that is looking into her civil lawsuit that was
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: brought against Donald Trump, his adult sons and the company.
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: And you can see here on this video Ed Martin
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: is there with a colleague from the Department of Justice.
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: He's outside of Letitia James's home and he does pose
• 10:45
  Speaker 5: for a photograph outside of that home. Now, he was
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: on Fox News on Sunday and he said that he
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: was there because he had had meetings in New York
• 10:53
  Speaker 5: and New Jersey and that he decided to go by
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: the home. He said, you have to lay eyes on it,
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: and also saying that you got to get a sense
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: of what is at state by Letitia James's attorney, Albi Lowell,
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: has pushed back. He wrote a letter to ed Martin
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: yesterday in which he highlighted this unusual visit to Letitia
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: james home, which they say is an intimidation tactic. He
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: also pointed out that soon after being appointed to be
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: leading this investigation, that Ed Martin called for James's resignation
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: and then also went on Fox News on Sunday and
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: said that he wanted to look into every aspect of
• 11:26
  Speaker 5: James's life, which some people would call a fishing expedition.
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: So Lowell has said that you were there any doubts
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: as to your political retributive mission. You erase them in
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: your first statements about your appointment when you stated that
• 11:39
  Speaker 5: your assignment is to quote stick the landing. A responsible,
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: incredible federal prosecutor is not a pommel horse gymnast. Now,
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: I've spoken with other former federal prosecutors who also say
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: that these moves are highly unusual and it could have
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: real world implications if the grand jury were to return
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: an indictment. This could be something that Leticia James legal
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: teams could use to argue to the judge that the
• 12:02
  Speaker 5: jury pool has been prejudiced and that this was a
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: selective prosecution. Of course, James has been criticized herself for
• 12:08
  Speaker 5: campaigning on saying that she was going to investigate Donald Trump.
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: She does have that court victory in the civil lawsuit
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: where judge has ordered Trump to pay half a billion dollars.
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: We reached out to the Department of Justice and they
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: declined to comment.
