- 0:04Speaker 2: Happy Tuesday.
- 0:05Speaker 1: I always look forward to this time of the week
- 0:07Speaker 1: here on the 55 KRC Morning Show. We are blessed
- 0:09Speaker 1: by the inside scoop of Breitbart News. B-R-E-I-T-B-A-R-T.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Bookmark it.
- 0:14Speaker 1: You'd be glad you did after you got done bookmarking wethepeopleconvention.org.
- 0:18Speaker 1: Bookmark Breitbart because that's where you read from the writings
- 0:21Speaker 1: of political editor Bradley Jay. Welcome back to the 55
- 0:24Speaker 1: KRC Morning Show, my friend. It's always a pleasure having
- 0:26Speaker 1: you on.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Good morning. It's always fun to be with you.
- 0:28Speaker 1: I appreciate it, man. I appreciate what you guys do
- 0:30Speaker 1: at Breitbart every day. I always say 55 KRC Morning
- 0:32Speaker 1: Show does rely on Breitbart as a news source and
- 0:35Speaker 1: some excellent news you have there, including news about Jack Smith.
- 0:39Speaker 1: Jack Smith apparently going to be testifying today, beginning at
- 0:41Speaker 1: 9 a.m. in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee about, well,
- 0:45Speaker 1: his antics going after Donald Trump and seeking indictments against
- 0:49Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And I saw your article about this violation
- 0:52Speaker 1: of purchasing rules. But before we start into that, he
- 0:55Speaker 1: has testified previously. Are we going to run into a
- 0:59Speaker 1: Fauci Fifth Amendment assertion today, or is he actually going
- 1:03Speaker 1: to answer questions? Do you have any insight into that, Bradley?
- 1:06Speaker 2: That's a good question.
- 1:07Speaker 3: Senate Judiciary Committee is anticipating him speaking today. I mean,
- 1:15Speaker 3: nothing is for sure until he does. But if you
- 1:19Speaker 3: think about how Fauci became conducted himself i remember he
- 1:25Speaker 3: had the fake pardon we think it was an auto
- 1:28Speaker 3: pin pardon yeah it only covered up to a certain
- 1:32Speaker 3: amount of time after which uh it like you would
- 1:36Speaker 3: think that fauci would have to go before congress and
- 1:38Speaker 3: actually talk uh so there were all these kinds of
- 1:40Speaker 3: questions we don't have that with jack smith jack smith
- 1:43Speaker 3: did not receive a pardon uh so i don't know
- 1:46Speaker 3: i'm i'm uh optimistic that we see him today. And
- 1:51Speaker 3: I know that Republican senators are as well. And frankly,
- 1:54Speaker 3: I think that a lot of the Democrat senators would
- 1:57Speaker 3: would not want to deal with the headache of him
- 2:00Speaker 3: pleading the fifth either.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Well, and that's a valid point. But at least insofar
- 2:03Speaker 1: as Fauci is concerned, there was, I think, you know,
- 2:06Speaker 1: from a lawyer's perspective, which am somewhat legitimate argument that
- 2:09Speaker 1: Donald Trump or rather Biden couldn't pardon him for state
- 2:12Speaker 1: crimes and that some crafty, uh, state attorney general could
- 2:15Speaker 1: easily come up with something to charge Fauci with in
- 2:17Speaker 1: terms of violating any given state law, like Florida, for example,
- 2:20Speaker 1: jumps out as a, as a state that might pursue him.
- 2:22Speaker 1: So he still has potential criminal charges against him, which
- 2:25Speaker 1: I think is the, was served as the basis for
- 2:27Speaker 1: his assertion. Um, Smith, however, no pardon. So that's not
- 2:31Speaker 1: a question, not an issue here, but then again, the
- 2:33Speaker 1: absence of a pardon even suggests perhaps he may have
- 2:36Speaker 1: more reason to, uh, to assert the fifth. Now, um,
- 2:41Speaker 1: I guess you have to do a little explaining here
- 2:43Speaker 1: because you wrote about the Smith's office violating its own
- 2:47Speaker 1: purchasing rules to acquire some forensic video software prior to
- 2:52Speaker 1: indicting Donald Trump. There was some urgency here. So we
- 2:55Speaker 1: have rules in place regarding purchases, which, as you report,
- 2:59Speaker 1: were violated. But the urgency with which this information was expressed,
- 3:04Speaker 1: we need this quickly. Break the facts down for my
- 3:06Speaker 1: listening audience, would you please, Bradley? Because I think this
- 3:09Speaker 1: is really important. Of course, it's probably going to come
- 3:11Speaker 1: up today.
- 3:13Speaker 2: I believe it might come up today.
- 3:16Speaker 3: So what I reported, and this comes from files that
- 3:20Speaker 3: were obtained from the Oversight Project via a FOIA request.
- 3:24Speaker 3: The Oversight Project does a fantastic job with a lot
- 3:28Speaker 3: of this, and they've been leaders in trying to expose
- 3:31Speaker 3: so much of what Jack's done. But you had to
- 3:33Speaker 3: go back to June 26, back in 2023. This was
- 3:38Speaker 3: after Mar-a-Lago had been raided. This was after Jack Smith
- 3:43Speaker 3: had been appointed as special counsel illegally, it turns out,
- 3:47Speaker 3: by Merrick Garland, Biden's attorney general. So back on June
- 3:51Speaker 3: 26 of 2023, Jack Smith had already indicted Trump once.
- 3:56Speaker 3: He had already indicted him over the business records case. Remember,
- 4:01Speaker 3: he claimed that Trump had obtained classified documents or whatever, fine.
- 4:10Speaker 3: But he was already moving towards doing more. And it's interesting,
- 4:15Speaker 3: and I note this in the article, that after the election,
- 4:18Speaker 3: which Biden, of course, ended up not being on the
- 4:21Speaker 3: ballot because he was replaced by Kamala, but Biden reportedly
- 4:25Speaker 3: expressed his disappointment in appointing Merrick Garland because Garland and
- 4:31Speaker 3: Jack Smith didn't move fast enough to go after Trump.
- 4:34Speaker 2: So that's an interesting tidbit here.
- 4:36Speaker 3: But anyways, so back in June, what Jack Smith did
- 4:41Speaker 3: is he made a very unusual request to a company
- 4:45Speaker 3: called Axon. Axon is a large investigation, telecommunication, electronics organization.
- 4:56Speaker 2: But what Jack Smith wanted.
- 4:58Speaker 3: Is he said that he had video files that he
- 5:00Speaker 3: needed converted. It was very, very mysterious. He didn't say
- 5:05Speaker 3: what they were. He called them proprietary. But his office
- 5:10Speaker 3: said that they needed them urgently. They said, quote, we
- 5:14Speaker 3: are in desperate need of this software. The wheels started turning. Now,
- 5:19Speaker 3: if anyone who's worked in the federal government knows that
- 5:21Speaker 3: there are all kinds of procurement requirements and all this, well,
- 5:26Speaker 3: Jack Smith, according to his office, even went above and
- 5:29Speaker 3: beyond those.
- 5:30Speaker 2: However, all of that was thrown to the side.
- 5:34Speaker 3: And I document a lot of that email traffic in
- 5:37Speaker 3: my story on Breitbart.com. But why this is so interesting is, well,
- 5:43Speaker 3: first off, we don't know what the video is. It's
- 5:45Speaker 3: interesting because this is just a couple of weeks before
- 5:51Speaker 3: he indicts Trump a second time. this time for alleged electioneering,
- 5:57Speaker 3: election interference in the 2020 election.
- 6:00Speaker 2: And if you go back and.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Look at all these files that Oversight Project has, not
- 6:05Speaker 3: only did Jack Smith break his own office's rules to
- 6:09Speaker 3: get this software to view this mysterious video as quickly
- 6:13Speaker 3: as possible, but there's all kinds of evidence that no
- 6:17Speaker 3: one wanted their fingerprints on it. There are all these
- 6:20Speaker 3: forms that have missing signature blocks. Anytime there's a description
- 6:26Speaker 3: of what this software is supposed to do, what they're
- 6:29Speaker 3: going to use it for, they leave it, even for government,
- 6:32Speaker 3: they leave it incredibly vague or attach misleading descriptions of it.
- 6:38Speaker 3: And interestingly as well, they reference some kind of an
- 6:42Speaker 3: audit that they say is making it more difficult for
- 6:46Speaker 3: them to pull off something like this.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But it's Very interesting.
- 6:51Speaker 3: And I think that the American people, the taxpayers who
- 6:54Speaker 3: had to pay tens of millions of dollars for their
- 6:58Speaker 3: own federal government to try to put a presidential candidate
- 7:03Speaker 3: in prison need.
- 7:05Speaker 2: To know what this video was, who.
- 7:08Speaker 3: Authorized the breaking of office rules, federal government rules to
- 7:14Speaker 3: acquire the means.
- 7:16Speaker 2: To view this video.
- 7:18Speaker 3: I mean, all of this is documented in these emails
- 7:21Speaker 3: and why it was so urgent. And if you look,
- 7:23Speaker 3: it clearly was very, very critical in the actual indictment
- 7:30Speaker 3: of Donald Trump.
- 7:31Speaker 2: So this is just.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Indicative of how shadowy and opaque the Jack Smith investigation is.
- 7:39Speaker 3: We still don't even know all the people, all the
- 7:41Speaker 3: federal employees who were involved in it. We still don't
- 7:44Speaker 3: know how much it cost. This software and the hardware
- 7:48Speaker 3: necessary to convert those.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Videos, we don't know where it is. We don't know
- 7:51Speaker 2: what happened to it.
- 7:52Speaker 3: But also the company, if you look at the files
- 7:55Speaker 3: that I reported on, there's a data sharing agreement. So
- 8:00Speaker 3: does Axon, does this company, do they have these files still?
- 8:04Speaker 2: We just don't know.
- 8:05Speaker 3: I expect that just here in under an hour when
- 8:08Speaker 3: Jack Smith begins testifying that this is going to be
- 8:11Speaker 3: something that will be talked about by Republican senators, and
- 8:16Speaker 3: Jack Smith may have to provide some answers.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Now, you mentioned this all swirls around election interference in
- 8:21Speaker 1: the 2020 election. Is this the January 6th-related investigation, Bradley?
- 8:28Speaker 2: Yes.
- 8:28Speaker 3: I mean, that was one of the critical components of
- 8:31Speaker 3: that 2020 electioneering allegation and indictment against Trump. But Again,
- 8:40Speaker 3: there's so many questions about that that we don't even know. Remember,
- 8:44Speaker 3: Jack Smith, after the election, he had to drop this case.
- 8:49Speaker 3: Judge Cannon down in Florida ended up throwing out the
- 8:54Speaker 3: previous indictment on the business records. But she said that
- 8:59Speaker 3: Jack Smith wasn't even legally appointed. So then this aspect
- 9:04Speaker 3: of Jack Smith's investigation ended up floundering as well. But
- 9:09Speaker 3: With all of that going on and the tens of
- 9:11Speaker 3: millions of taxpayer dollars that went into it, it's just
- 9:14Speaker 3: unbelievable that we still don't have any answers about how,
- 9:19Speaker 3: I mean, this critical, critical historical moment in our history,
- 9:25Speaker 3: we still don't know almost anything about it.
- 9:27Speaker 1: Well, and it's rather interesting since the case went away.
- 9:31Speaker 1: they would have had an obligation to produce all this
- 9:33Speaker 1: stuff to Donald Trump so he could defend himself. There
- 9:36Speaker 1: is an obligation. Prosecutors have it. From a legal perspective,
- 9:39Speaker 1: the criminal rules of justice require the prosecutors to provide
- 9:42Speaker 1: the defendant with all of the evidence they have that
- 9:45Speaker 1: has any impact or relationship to the underlying allegation. So
- 9:48Speaker 1: this video, to the extent it was involved in the indictment,
- 9:51Speaker 1: clearly would have had to have been provided to the
- 9:53Speaker 1: Trump campaign in an effort when they were defending him.
- 9:55Speaker 1: So it's almost as if, gee, I kind of wish
- 9:59Speaker 1: the discovery component and the evidence had to have been
- 10:03Speaker 1: turned over before the case disappeared. We'd have all the
- 10:05Speaker 1: answers to these questions, Bradley.
- 10:08Speaker 3: It almost suggests that that this was never about the
- 10:12Speaker 3: actual court process, but maybe there was a little bit
- 10:17Speaker 3: of election interfering going on with Jack Smith and Mary
- 10:20Speaker 3: Garland and Joe Biden, right?
- 10:22Speaker 1: Yeah, you just talk about an investigation, you throw out
- 10:25Speaker 1: an indictment with no intention of following through with it,
- 10:27Speaker 1: just to, you know, well, hell, they've been after Donald
- 10:30Speaker 1: Trump forever. I guess, Bradley, I sort of have to
- 10:32Speaker 1: interject my often-asked question. What in the hell, by way
- 10:36Speaker 1: of strategy, are the Democrats going to do after Donald
- 10:38Speaker 1: Trump's gone? I mean, they've been burning that Donald Trump
- 10:41Speaker 1: evil orange man fuel for so long now. When he
- 10:45Speaker 1: disappears from the political landscape, I'm not quite sure what
- 10:48Speaker 1: they're going to be left with.
- 10:50Speaker 2: Yeah, they've got that muscle memory.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Just their reflex for 10 years or more has just
- 10:56Speaker 3: been orange man bad, attack orange man.
- 10:59Speaker 2: And now that that's gone, what's going to happen?
- 11:01Speaker 3: If you look at all the different factions of the
- 11:03Speaker 3: Democrat Party, they've kind of been held together over the past,
- 11:07Speaker 3: really over the past 20 years, somewhat tenuously. They've been
- 11:12Speaker 3: aided in the past 10 years or so by their
- 11:16Speaker 3: joint hatred of Donald Trump. But I think that a
- 11:19Speaker 3: Democrat civil war is coming. Remember, I mean, it's been
- 11:23Speaker 3: since 2008, since the Democrats had a truly contentious, contested
- 11:30Speaker 3: national presidential election. Of course, Obama beat Hillary. That wasn't
- 11:36Speaker 3: wasn't like it was a big brouhaha. There were just
- 11:39Speaker 3: two folks on the main card. Then you had Obama's reelection,
- 11:43Speaker 3: and they cleared the way with the superdelegates in 16
- 11:47Speaker 3: for Hillary. In 2020, they said that the process was reformed,
- 11:51Speaker 3: but they didn't. They still delivered it for Biden. And then,
- 11:55Speaker 3: of course, the appointment of Kamala. So there are all
- 11:57Speaker 3: these different factions in the Democrat Party that are anxious
- 12:00Speaker 3: to have their day. And a lot of these factions,
- 12:03Speaker 3: I don't think, can exist under the same tent, at
- 12:08Speaker 3: least not very easily. So I think that Republicans would
- 12:11Speaker 3: be smart to stop fighting amongst themselves, all these old
- 12:15Speaker 3: school Republicans who are intent on burning down the party
- 12:18Speaker 3: just so they can rule over the ashes of these
- 12:21Speaker 3: folks coming after J.D. Vance and trying to kill America first,
- 12:24Speaker 3: because they're going to give the Democrats an opening.
- 12:28Speaker 1: Bradley J., someone just whispered Mitch McConnell into my headset.
- 12:31Speaker 1: Good job, Joe Strecker. Point well taken.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Not so far.
- 12:34Speaker 1: Going back, Bradley. We're all critical of Mitch McConnell here
- 12:38Speaker 1: on the 55 KRC Morning Show, Bradley, because our side
- 12:41Speaker 1: of the political ledger, the conservative side, should not be
- 12:43Speaker 1: pulling shenanigans like that. That's what Biden did. That's what
- 12:47Speaker 1: Amy Acton, a current gubernatorial candidate, they hide and they
- 12:50Speaker 1: don't want to actually provide information. So anyway, this back
- 12:56Speaker 1: to the information that Jack Smith or wherever the video
- 12:59Speaker 1: evidence is that he wanted this Axon investigations to crunch
- 13:04Speaker 1: down digitally. I find it surprising, as is the case
- 13:08Speaker 1: with any Senate hearing or even a House hearing, that
- 13:12Speaker 1: they are deprived of the documents, that our own elected
- 13:15Speaker 1: officials can't get their hands on this information. Is this
- 13:21Speaker 1: in a state of discovery right now? Do we have
- 13:23Speaker 1: any hope that this is ultimately going to be produced,
- 13:25Speaker 1: or are we just going to be left in the
- 13:26Speaker 1: dark about what exactly he was talking about when he
- 13:28Speaker 1: had this urgency to get this stuff digitized?
- 13:32Speaker 2: So that's a very interesting question. I will say this.
- 13:36Speaker 3: The Democrats, they knew that Jack Smith was eventually going
- 13:40Speaker 3: to have to testify for months and months and months.
- 13:44Speaker 3: They have been trying to hold this hearing. And Chuck Grassley,
- 13:49Speaker 3: to his credit, he's the top Republican on the Senate
- 13:51Speaker 3: Judiciary Committee, has held them off. Why? Because his team
- 13:55Speaker 3: of investigators was trying to produce this documentation online. all
- 13:59Speaker 3: these outside groups like the Oversight Project through FOIA requests
- 14:04Speaker 3: were trying to produce as much as they could before
- 14:08Speaker 3: they got Jack Smith in front of them across that
- 14:11Speaker 3: table at these hearings. I don't know everything that Chuck
- 14:15Speaker 3: Grassley has right now. Congressional investigators are always at a
- 14:20Speaker 3: disadvantage because they just simply don't have.
- 14:24Speaker 2: The staff to do this.
- 14:26Speaker 3: But I'm very interested in seeing what Chuck Grassley may
- 14:31Speaker 3: have in store today. But also to your point, the
- 14:36Speaker 3: congressional investigators who have a constitutional oversight duty and should
- 14:40Speaker 3: have access to this information They don't. Yet Jack Smith
- 14:45Speaker 3: through Arctic Frost was illegally spying on United States senators,
- 14:50Speaker 3: which is illegal, unconstitutional.
- 14:52Speaker 2: So, I mean, there's this power disparity here.
- 14:54Speaker 3: And Jack Smith has so many questions that he needs
- 14:58Speaker 3: to answer today. And this is going to be an
- 15:00Speaker 3: absolute blockbuster hearing. I'm very excited about it. And we
- 15:04Speaker 3: all of us at Breitbart.com are as well.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I imagine so. Get your popcorn out, put your feet up,
- 15:09Speaker 1: turn the TV on. I guess it starts at 9 a.m.,
- 15:11Speaker 1: and CBS, I guess, is going to cover it. I
- 15:14Speaker 1: have their site up, but also I'm sure Fox News
- 15:16Speaker 1: and others will be carrying it. Watch live, and we'll
- 15:20Speaker 1: all enjoy it together. Bradley Jay, politics editor over at Breitbart.
