"Radio 6 80 wcbm passion Derek is actually out today, Bruce says dispassionately. John, Darling, is that I'm correct on that. Yes, Brian. Darling Bryant. I'm sorry, Brian Darling is in from noon till three for Derek about today, and I believe next week as well, right? Uh yeah. Oh, it's different people next week, all right, Cam Edwards is in next week for him. And next week in for me. Is Pam McDonough because I'm taking some time with my family as well. Look, you know he's still going to have summer vacation sometime, right? And there's coming. This coming week is mine or one of them because The pregnant daughter is going to drop sometime. I mean, that little baby is going to come out sometime soon. Then it will be a quick, let's go to ST Louis and look at the baby and say it looks just like Dwight Eisenhower. A surge of migrants asylum seekers that continues down at the U. S Mexico border. Indiana Republican Congressman Jim Banks was on Fox and friends yesterday and he said, Look, it is getting worse and worse and worse. Unlike El Paso, where the vice president went The area that we were at is where the the crisis is occurring. This is a humanitarian crisis. Unlike anything that we have ever seen in American history, with with one million migrants who have crossed places like where we were yesterday this year alone this year alone by administration says all things are going pretty well, you know. We've made a lot of progress here are we're securing the border. I'm not quite sure how others saying this I mean, who are gonna believe me or your lying eyes? That old joke comes back every time I say something like this, because no, they're not. Over 180,000 migrants were encountered in May. That does not count the gotta ways. So the number of encounters in the fiscal year so far. Is over 800,000. So far. And they're still counting and again. That does not include the gotta ways. And one of the questions is, are these people for real? Or are they just stupid? I'm afraid I followed the letter category. Ted Cruz. I don't know that that that Joe and common necessarily anticipated this crisis. I think they're just naive. They think open borders sounds wonderful and nice and utopian. And they don't understand that when you don't enforce the borders that the cartels will traffic millions of people into this country, Yeah. They haven't figured them out yet, though. Ted Cruz is far more gracious. Then I would be in that particular circumstance because I don't think they're naive. I think they do this on purpose. And I think that the plan for them so far is working pretty well. The question is How will it play in the 2022 off your elections? That generally is the real question. They're going to do what they do. Through November of next year. On the 2022 elections come around. That is when push comes to shove, and we'll find out if the American people are cool with this or if we're all with 80 D and they'll find a shiny penny first look like look at some time, perhaps, and You know, next October. Kristi Noem of in South Dakota is one of a number of governors who said they've asked us for help. We are going to help along the border. We know that we have dangerous people crossing the border. We have a lot of drugs coming into our country. We have a lot of human trafficking going on. The governors of Texas and Arizona have asked us for help. And this is a mission that National Guard is trained and equipped and does with excellence. And so South Dakota will help. I wonder, where is the Maryland National Guard has has request Halsman made as I'm sure it has to Larry Hogan. In which case what is his response to what degree is he's still a member of the GOP would be the question you have Republican governors, border governors saying We need help. Where's Larry Hogan? Why is he not made the same kind of statement? I think this is actually a fruitful area for conversation for some reporter Donald Annapolis or for interested citizens. Who happened to be able to Google the governor's telephone number. Because I think this is a legitimate question to ask for the governor's staff to answer. Why has he not done the same thing? Why has he not also sent troops to the border sent the National Guard there? I mean, good Lord. They they help protect the capital against the non existent threat. You know, this is a real threat. This is something you actually can do something about. How about it, sport? Maybe you can weigh in on this. All right. I'm quite sure that by the time I get back, this whole thing will be solved. Larry Hogan, what was deployed people, and when I get paragon of the 13th, I'm going to be eating crow because I'll look so foolish Having been at all critical of Larry Hogan. I'm sure that's the case. No, um Joe Biden, Donald, Florida yesterday looking at this disaster where this entire tower condo tower just collapsed. Incredibly sad, incredibly sad. Yeah, okay. And here is his attempt. To say comforting words. Members of the rabbis in the Jewish community. We're.

"Coming up this morning. 705. Brian Darling is here. We'll talk about the Senate business today. He knows a lot about how the Senate operates. 7 35 Mark Bucher will be with us for medium rare. Getting into the restaurants in Montgomery County in the ways that they're being told to operate at 805. Byron York is here from the Washington Examiner than 8 35. We talked to the co founder of Ben's Chili Bowl, Virginia Ali trying to save our restaurants on Vince Colonies with Mary Walter. Good morning to you joining us right now, Sheriff Chuck Jenkins from Frederick County, Maryland. Sheriff Thank you for joining us on guy. I hate to say this, but we talked to you so often on immigration and Sadly, it's It's never good news. You know, during the Trump administration, I think we have you in a couple times to talk about some good news, but so often, it's about things that are happening locally or on a national level that are hurting the citizens in Frederick County. I would like to just play free. This is Theo, the White House spokesperson Gemma sake here. And she's talking about the people who will be deported under a Biden administration and we have a lot of questions for you about this. The priority for the enforcement of an immigration laws will be on those for opposing a national security threat, of course, the public safety threat And on recent arrivals. Nobody is saying that do you guys or salt or acceptable hate behavior, and those arrested for such activities should be tried and sentenced is appropriate by a local law enforcement. But we're talking about the prioritization of who is going to be deported from the country, so national security risks yet? Lot of those things are wrist and she does say You're not saying that they shouldn't be tried. But why shouldn't they be tried and deported is the question. Well, you listen to what she's saying. Everything she's saying is very loosely defined. So how do you define a national security risk? How do you define or where the parameters of a public safety risk? Listen, you have to have one set of rules that apply to all criminals. Whatever the criminal behavior is on, not only the crime they commit the jurist that they're arrested for. But the crimes they could have committed in the countries he came from. So listen, I'm outraged about this. I'm very concerned not only for Frederick County. I'm really concerned about this country, every county every community, every city. Where is this going to end up? Sheriff Jenkins. If, as you're looking at this new guidance if you can make any sense of it whatsoever, can you identify the most serious crimes for which people will no longer be deported? Well, I I can't say because again, it's very loosely defined. So what will what will the crimes be or what won't they be? So let's talk about, for instance, and I can go down and identify case after case Here locally that someone was arrested for and let's say they're charged with more serious crimes. Their plea bargained down. They get a sentence for a lesser crime. Well, they can't ID the more serious crime, but they get out. The sentence is suspended all but a couple months or maybe a year and they're released back onto the streets. That's just wrong. These people should be deported their criminal aliens, they should go. Again. This is a public safety issue really is You know, we talk about the communities that it hurts the most. And we We seem to think that that is the community's the poor communities where these people tend to live there, victimizing other immigrants and their victimizing the poorest in our communities, So it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense because you're not protecting the people that you claim to be protecting. No, not nothing makes sense about this order on yes, the community's most of risk will be the emer immigrant communities on which is criminals prey the most. Yeah, they step out and commit crimes all over the community they're involved in. Crashes and actions that kill Americans. But mostly it's immigrant communities. Other the hardest it amazing, so I'm looking at some of these suggested. Crimes here. Deportations of illegal immigrants convicted of crimes like fraud, assault, money laundering and driving under the influence will soon be curbed by the Biden administration in New York Post reports. And that's according to the White House, driving under the influence, I mean, You know, it's one thing we have plenty of Americans who get caught driving under the influence. You know, it's it's obviously a very dangerous thing to do. But if an illegal immigrant gets caught driving under the influence, it leads one to wonder. Like, why do we need to import more crime here? If that, if that is the case, if that's what happens, shouldn't a person like that be deported? Absolutely this shit again. Think about the term public safety. It's the safety of the public. The general public on again. Not only not only Americans, but the immigrant community, Uh, these people are released in and let's talk about A couple of things. You're number one. They're going to open the borders completely. They're going to allow people come into this country. We don't know who they are. What their criminal backgrounds are. What kind of public safety threats they are. And then they're gonna infiltrate our communities or commit crimes. They're not could be held responsible. They're going to Rome with impunity. Let's talk about the criminal gangs human trafficking. Drug trafficking. I mean, we have a horrendous amount of drug problems here in this region. All over the country. So this is only going to get worse. The problems are only gonna spiral and again. We've got to do something. We gotta do something to push back. Every chief. Every share of every elected official that is concerned about their community ought to be pushing back against this. Yeah, well as the problem grows on, sure, we're gonna be speaking with you more. Sheriff Chuck Jenkins. Thank you so much for your time and thank you for what you do for us. Thank you Have a great day to 6, 43 and W e mail where Washington comes to talk. I want to thank you so much for your perspective. Washington's mall I'm just telling you the truth. 105.9 FM W M A L.

"Squares. Calm. There's a rocket mortgage squares, calm today. All right. The Trump team legal brief again out 78 pages long and they make a pretty, um Robot case against this even being constitutional, But I'll start with this is just the introduction here. During the past four years, Democrat members of the United States House of Representatives have filed at least nine resolutions to impeach Donald J. Trump, the 45th, president of the United States, each containing charges more outlandish than the next you know, one might have been excused for thinking that the Democrats fevered hatred for citizen Trump and their quote Trump Derangement syndrome would have broken by now. Seeing as he is no longer the president. And yet for the second time in just over a year, the United States Senate is preparing to sit as a court of impeachment. But this time over a private citizen Who is a former president. In this country. The Constitution, not a political party and not politicians reigns supreme. But through this latest article of impeachment Now, before the Senate, Democrat politicians seek to carve out a mechanism by which they can silence a political opponent and a minority party. The Senate must summarily reject this brazen Political act. That's the lede paragraph of 78 pages of them going. Just four hard on Democrats for deciding to try and approach an impeachment of a private citizen. Mary. They get into the basic verb each of the Constitution and how an impeachment is the prescription for addressing errors and high crimes and misdemeanors by the president of the United States. They've rest very heavily on that article at one point in this brief saying the president, not a president, we're talking about You know, random conditions of for being a former president. It is for the president of the United States not to be confused with any other person, Which means you must be the current sitting president of the United States for impeachment to even apply to you. And yet you're trying to use this now against a private citizen. This is unconstitutional. Yeah, That's what as we get closer and listen, But we know that the the unconstitutionality of it, they could have a vote on that They could spend time discussing that They could have a vote on that. But they probably most likely won't because Democrats don't want to vote on it because they know how Republicans are going to vote. And there are some Democrats who may cross over and vote with Republicans. And they don't want that visual right. So they don't want that. So they're most likely not going to do that. I don't understand them or the closer we get and the more and more this is laid out and we see how this is going to go. I understand it less and less. They want. They went. We know they went forward with this. Chuck Schumer even said it in order to prevent Donald Trump from ever running from political office again, right? That's why they did this. That's not going to be the outcome of this. That's right, you know, And this is this is again. You know, I often praise from Democrats for how they stick together and how they played the game. Because there are vory they often go on the offense. If they don't go on the defense, they're proactive. They're not reactive, And that's one of my big complaints that the Republicans that they don't act when they have the power. Whereas report whereas Democrats always do but Democrats Achilles heel is the always overplay their hand. Always, you know, for for the for the most part, and this is yet again, so we're going to spend how much time doing this and I don't know. Maybe this is a good thing for Republicans, because while they're doing this, they're not legislating my life away. Well, here's the other thing is like Democrats have not learned their lesson from Trump. Trump spent his whole life is a counterpuncher, and the concept here is, if they're going to keep on kicking him. He's gonna eventually kick back right. And so what they're doing. Right now is murdering him. Murdering that's very true. And they're essentially inviting him to run for office again. Yes, they figured, OK, we're gonna We're gonna obsess over you until you actually run for office again. And how did that go in 2016? They were like, Okay, let that guy be the nominee. He couldn't even win. It's gonna be hilarious when he runs and sure enough, That's what happened. So I again I just as an unforced error. I think this is a big giant political one back to this Trump team legal brief. There's a novel approach here that I haven't heard. At least I haven't seen before, which is that they're going to cite the constitutional provision of the bill of Attainder. Now you may have heard this phrase before. What it means is that Congress is not allowed to punish citizens simply by passing laws designed to hurt them. It's unconstitutional. You can't you can't just punish a random citizen Congress right now can't pass a law making it so that Mary Walter has to pay. 100% tax on all the money she arms because that would be illegal for a variety of reasons, including that it would violate the bill of attainder clause of the United States Constitution. You actually have to be punished in a court of law. If you're going to be punished, you need to be subjected to a trial. And then the sentence. You can't have Congress do it. Now that is really important to this Trump team legal defense because there are going look, this guy is not the president of the United States. He is a private citizen and what you are arguing for not just the impeachment removal from office, which wouldn't really apply to Trump but specifically this idea to bar him from office in the future, which could apply to trumpet the Senate moves to do that that's unconstitutional. They say, because no bill of attainder is permitted of to be passed, according to the United States Constitution that the separation of powers in trusts such punishments to the court system. Not to the Congress when it comes to a private citizen. Seems like a big deal is the first time I've seen anybody really raised it. The Trump team goes out of its way to make a point of saying This is not a constitutional act to punish her private citizen this way. You know, this is gonna be very interesting because I wanted If this we keep being told that this is not a this is not a legal process. This is a political process. So does the Constitution matter? Does Bill of attainder even mattered as any of the fact that he's not a president that he's not sitting president on this old purpose of impeachment to remove someone from office? He's already been removed from office. All of that stuff. I wonder if any of that matters, though. If this is Political process, not a legal process. Two years while your rights stripped away because it's not a legal process, right? Well, I mean, obviously, these arguments were meant to keep the Republicans on their side there, although avoid a conviction at the end of this should the 17 Republicans hang with them, But you know, 11 final thing before before we head out here. I just want to mention that this idea that Trump incited the riot by using the word fight in his speech, remember, he also said To assemble peacefully and have their voices heard. That, of course, is cited by Trump's legal team, but they write this quote. Democrats cannot pretend that they were confused by the word fight. In the context. President Trump used it in his speech speaker policy has used this word, multiple times herself in the context of election security and the well known nonprofit started by rising Democratic darling safety Abrams. And endorsed by none other than Speaker. Pelosi is literally called quote, fair fight. And it asked people to join the fight for free and fair elections. Pretty funny. Yeah, this is I just don't see how this goes Well for them. It's going to be interesting when we can ask all those questions off. Brian Darling at 75 Byron York at 805. They're gonna be coming up later in the show, so Lot of questions. And so you're gonna not gonna want to miss that, because as we go through this over the next couple of days is going to really help to understand what we're seeing and hearing because it's not gonna make a whole lot of sense. I think to most of us 5 24 on W M A L. Washington's.

"Meanwhile, its assistance be arrested if you wrote a piece of fiction with us and be rejected for being so unbelievable, But this is where we are and in 2021 2020 was bad. 2020 ones just get started. Meanwhile, it looks like the filibuster Brian Darling has survived. Is that the case? There's not an official agreement or anything from Chuck Schumer, saying I won't try to get rid of the filibuster. But We've now had two Democrats come out and say We're not going to get rid of the filibuster. Right. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kristen Cinema of of Arizona. So to Democrats say we won't vote to get rid of the filibuster, meaning that the Democrats are going to be two votes short if they try and use the so called nuclear option to basically change roles. Without rewriting the rules. Just saying the rules don't mean what they say We're going to get rid of the filibuster because right now they're operating as if The filibuster doesn't exist for nominations, even though it does in the rules. If you read the rules, it's there. But basically, they just said we're gonna use a simple majority vote to change the way we interpret that so. The big question is, is what happens if Republicans end up having the filibuster. Something coming forward, whether you know immigration or gun control or any number of issues that could come up will that will that start the Democratic caucus? From cornering, cinema and mansion saying, Look, you know, we need you on this. We need to get these two issues across the finish line. You're gonna have to go with us and get rid of the filibuster or They try and push all of the controversial stuff into reconciliation, where they have very special and rules. Basically, it has toe spend money. It has to have something that has a Maura of Ah Budgetary impact and anything else to get it in into reconciliation so far, But does it really? I mean, if it has just a can gentle issue related to budgetary issues. The percentage parliamentarian will be asked is this supply to reckons? Is reconciliation apply here? They can say no. They can overrule the Senate parliamentarian, right? That's true. That's true. They could basically and what can happen is Democrats and say we're going to gym all are controversial stuff. The reconciliation that go to the parliamentarian. The parliamentary in says, Oh, no, You can't do that. It's not within reconciliation. They show great. We're going to do it anyways. We're gonna have a vote on it and you're not going to stop us, and they can do that. If they want to push everything over to reconciliation, it is possible to do What is the point of the Senate Parliament? Gary, He's like the referee and I wrap was that in her out on that was out clearly out and they go. Yeah, but still we're calling it in like there really is no point aside from Formalities and tradition to the Senate parliamentarian is there Yes, it's like having a referee in a basketball game where the ref makes a ruling in its advisory like it doesn't really hold any weight. I think he filed him. But if he doesn't want to take the free throws every year, you don't want it to have the free throws. We can overrule this. This is how our government works, right? I mean, this is how it's always been. It's just Most of these things have been in place for a very long time. They just weren't used or abused. Yeah, I mean, the big problem is we've had a huge breakdown between the parties. You and I worked in the Senate years ago. The members get along a little bit better. They fought a lot, but it wasn't like it is now. Now. It's very the dude's kind of siloed. I mean, the parties were Republicans. Democrats don't go hang out and have dinner together. Not really help that friends. They really fighting, though, do they really not get along? Or is it when the camera lights are on, and they know that their bases air watching they know what they have to do? Well, there's a little bit of that, but I think they don't have to interact as much as they used to. Because they just There is no real motivation for them. Especially when you have a 50 50 Senate They're really dug in. I mean, the closer When one party has just domination over the other party. They tend to get along better because the party that's non power knows. Look, we're just along for the ride. We're going to do our best to get along and get something done. But when you have it split as close as it is, and you know you could have a member of the Democratic Party just suddenly retired because of a scandal or passed away. Then all of a sudden the Senate's in the Republican back in the other or switch parties. If you get Joe Manchin, Brian Darling Liberty Government affairs were up against the clock.

"He's also a member of the jury. How can a member of the jury be the judge as well? Well, you'll hear the supporters of a thing. Oh, well when they do it for anybody, but the president. You can have somebody just sit in the chair was not a Supreme Court. Justice is not to teach justice. Even though the Constitution is explicit, it says in the article one Section three when the president of the United States has tried the chief justice shall preside. I mean, that's pretty simple. I mean, you would think that That the fact that the chief justice said Hey, I'm not going to show up call this whole process into constitutional question. I mean, he would show up if he showed up. It would be very hard for. I think the people on my side, arguing it's unconstitutional to win their case because Kind of puts a stamp of approval by showing up, But the fact that he didn't show up shows it isn't unconstitutional. And I just don't understand why you have all these legal experts, you know so called self proclaimed. Cable news, legal experts and all these law professors there, right. These really long legal treatise is saying, Oh, it's okay because because of the fact that you can bar somebody from office for life. And you know what They also say, Which is ridiculous that because Trump isn't president anymore, you don't need the chief justice to preside, which is ridiculous because there's still presuming that you can even try and because he was president, so Reading one section of the Constitution making believe he's president and another one making believe he's not president Just to make it all work out. Even heard the argument that you don't need 67 votes to prevent him from ever holding public office again. You just need 50 plus one if you heard that argument Because he's not president. And now that's separate from impeachment. They would use provisions in the in the Constitution that prevent anybody from whose rebelled against the government from ever holding office again. So we're going to see that come up to after impeachment after the Democrats lose impeachment because for whatever reason, they have this big agenda they want to implement, but they're just tossing it all aside so they can waste this week of the Senate to work on an impeachment they know is gonna fail. Well, they does this tell us, Brian darling that the Democrats are terrified of the prospect of Donald Trump returning is the Republican nominee in 2024. Yeah, I think it shows that they still are worried about that possibility in the fact that he could come back and, you know, do what he did in 2016 and just steamroll all the Republicans and then Walk into a general election where he's going to be empowered. He's gonna be somebody was pushed out of power. And then you know the comeback story of the You can't say the comeback kid because he's really old, But you could say, you know the comeback old guy, but he could be a great comeback story if you were to pull it off, but You know, it's just I think it's more just arrangement and hatred. It's more retribution. It's you know, Democrats feel like they had a rough four years and so now this is their time to get him back, and they're saying we don't care what the Constitution says. We're going to get you back then you from office just because it's gonna make us all feel better on our base is gonna be so happy. So while the outcome is a foregone conclusion, the wrangling and process could be long and drawn out, because if If there are 55 votes for conviction. The Democrats will then say, then he can't run for office ever again. Who would ultimately decide that with his Supreme Court have to insert itself into it at that point? Well, but what they would first they need to get over the hurdle of the 67 votes for conviction. Then they could say you could never run for office. You have a simple majority for that, But we do see that they have a simple majority would have to run a bill. Through Congress that would use the 14th amendment to being him from office, which you know that's gonna be that'll. That process will just you up even more time and it's possible for them to do that. That will obviously go to the Supreme Court and You know who knows that the Supreme Court would saying that what they what they would rule on that. But, you know, I'm of the opinion that if the American people want Donald Trump to run again, and they are going to vote for him, you know they have the right to vote for the guy. I mean, It doesn't mean he clearly people have very strong opinions in favor and against him. When we saw that, in the last election, we had a record turnout. The turnout was a record by far I mean, President Trump had the most votes ever for an incumbent president. And you know people are coming in. But, you know, part of it obviously, was the fact that mail in voting made it very easy. But I think the American people need to make these decisions, not a bunch of justices on the Supreme Court or a bunch of Democrats in Congress ramming their will through especially right with 50 50 majority, There's a pop. Now in an impeachment trial, Brian There is possibility. It's remote because Mitt Romney exists and the Lisa Murkowski and Ben Sasse exist. But if the impeachment vote came down to 50 50, with the vice president be able to cast the tie breaking vote on the issue of Barring him from ever running again. Yes. So this is, you know, obviously theoretical argument to say they get 67 for conviction. And then it comes down to a vote on what the punishment is. And the punishment is paining from office for life. And you have a 50 50 deadlock on that. Um, yes, the vice president, the vice president went conceivably come in and break that tie, even though there's clearly a conflict of interest. It seems ridiculous. And it's something that the Constitution doesn't speak too, because you're supposed to have the chief justice in the chair making these decisions. I mean in the real world. Had vote would fail in the tie vote if it was 50 50, but It's possible the device president comes in, would break that time and off again to the Supreme Court with the justices will yet again make another very controversial decision..

"Before we get to our guests that want to play a clip of the guy. We're going to spend some time talking about a guy our guest used to work for yesterday on the floor of the United States Senate. Rand Paul forced to vote dismissing the impeachment charges. It failed 55 to 45. But It, Uh He made a hell of a case on this issue, he scolded Democrats is well, here is Rand Paul doing? Just that Cut 10 go. Democrats insist on applying a test of incitement. To a Republican that they refused to apply to themselves. Want the Democrats to raise their hands if they have ever given a speech that says, Take back fight for your country who hasn't used the words fight figuratively. And are we going to put every politician in jail? We could impeach every politician who has used the words fight figuratively in a speech shame, shame on these angry, unhinged partisans who are putting forth his sham impeachment, deranged by their hatred of the former president. Their range by their hatred of the former president. Joining US tow talk about that in the Senate procedures and everything is our go to is the official Senate parliamentarian of the Derek Hunter show. Brian Darling, President of Liberty Government Affairs. Brian, How are you? Good. How are you doing? I'm doing Well, I'm doing well. Yesterday, your old boss gave a barn burner of a speech down there on the floor of the Senate. Now, first, we'll explain how it was through Senate rules because it was just supposed to be. They get the article of impeachment. They're sworn in as jurors. But Rand Paul managed to use procedures and Senate rules to force This vote yesterday. How you explain that? Well, the rules of the Senate go from a Congress to a Congress, so they have existing rules that are in the Senate's rules that just go on and on, and one of the rules allows for a senator to get up and say. I believe that what we're doing is unconstitutional and that would that triggers a vote in the Senate. And when when that happens, Basically, the chair will say This is a question for the body of but the question of the body. Shell, the shell. The ruling stand, and so what happens is basically the chair said. You know, it's not. We're not going to dismiss the charge. Or unconstitutionality, And that's why you see a vote 55 45 saying. Shall the ruling. Stand on? Basically, Rand Paul got 40 45 votes he didn't get. He didn't get a majority, so they basically table his motion and pushed to the side. So they didn't have to deal with it. But ultimately this shows that they do not have the 67 votes necessary to convict President Trump. So the trial's over effectively now, But You know Rand, Paul, You know, I'm obviously biased. He's my former boss. But he's right because he basically made the case that the concept of purpose of impeachment is to remove a president. It was committed a high crime or misdemeanor. And President Trump is not president anymore. He's a private citizen, so it makes no logical sense to move forward with impeachment. When you're trying a person who's in Who's a private citizen. He's no longer president. How does that work as president? A president, A sitting president has a lot of resource is at their disposal that they we saw them on display when Donald Trump was impeached, the first time by Democrats for partisan reasons. You can exert executive privilege he can you know he has the White House counsel's office. He can do all sorts of things that a former president cannot. How is that going to work? Because what he's accused of doing bogus Lee is an act while he was president. They are they going to allow him to retroactively exert executive privilege, Or doesn't that seem like Violation of the rights of the defendant in this case. Yeah, I mean, when you think about it if the Senate says You know we're going to subpoena documents from the president. They're going to be sending it to the Biden administration. And so you're counting on the Biden administration to protect the rights of former President Donald Trump, which You know, isn't going to happen. So there's problem number one and the fact that you know that Donald Trump doesn't have the benefit of having the counsel's office to help in his defense. You know when when there's the resource is that Congress has a subpoena power and everything that they have is immense compared to what Donald Trump's gonna have to do is basically assemble legal team and put together his own defense and You know, it's it's pretty one sided. But again, you know, the bottom line is this is the whole purpose of this is to remove somebody from office who's done something horrible. That basically get them kicked out of office. And what the opponent with the supporters of impeachment are saying is because in the Constitution that says not only that you get removed from office You can get banned from ever holding office again. That makes it all OK, we can do it anyways. Even though we all know the primary purpose of impeachment is removal, and you know, we've had a situation the past where we had somebody who was tried who was out of office. They resigned before they were impeached by the House. In the Senate of the same thing. Then they had overwhelming vote against conviction because it was an unconstitutional process. Now the talking to Brian Darling about the impeachment trial the upcoming impeachment to be the day after the Super Bowl. We already know what the conclusion is going to be judged by the vote yesterday. Mm. The Chief justice of the United States, John Roberts presides over impeachment trials of the president of the United States. He wasn't there yesterday. He's not going to participate. And this Pat Leahy. The president Pro TEM of the Senate. Very, very old, is actually hospitalized last night briefly for whatever reason..

"Here with Brian Darling, the president of Liberty Government affairs were talking impeachment and where we go from here, Brian you had if this does go into the Senate, and there is actually a trial, let's say they choose to do this either. Right away or after the president is out, and it is decided down the road. I don't know, however long that may be that President Trump can be tried as a private citizen for his his high crimes and misdemeanors. There would be a trial in that trial, though the president would be able to defend himself. I would assume, and would he not then be able to bring out things about you know the election because that's what they're claiming that he's lied about the election. If he were able to bring out things that maybe they don't want them to bring out think questions about Pennsylvania, almost five contested states where they changed the laws of that going through the Legislature. Those things would be able to be then brought out. I would assume in his defense in some kind of a trial. No Yes, I know that. That is something that could happen. I mean, I think you will see demands on the part of The Trump team to have that to have witnesses to talk about that It's going to be descendants responsibility to set up the way that the procedure moves forward, But they will give the president's team an opportunity to make their case and maybe it'll become in debate when they were authorized to go down. And have this debate and we did see this. I mean, there's a question that just happened a year ago where we saw both sides make their arguments and so there may not be witnesses called that weren't witnesses called in the last Senate trial, But I'm sure the president's team will demand witnesses. They might not get him, but they will be allowed to bring this information up during debate. This is the opportunity for the president to lay out his case and lay out his evidence. The American people. So the it's coming in an odd way, but this is one way that President can get his message out. You know, I'm sitting here where there's a op Ed this week. We were talking in the last segment about the chances of the president being convicted by the Senate after he's once again a private citizen that is out of office. On. There's a new opinion this week in The Washington Post, Written by J. Michael Luggage, he served as a judge for the U. S Court of Appeals for the fourth Circuit from 1991 to 2006 so long track record as a judge and the headline on the pieces Once Trump leaves office, the Senate can't hold on impeachment trial. He's arguing that they a Senate trial would be completely unconstitutional because an impeachment process is on Lee supposed to apply. To a sitting officeholder. That is not what the president is going to be. So I do wonder Brian Darling. If the president's legal team decides to file suit, perhaps in the Supreme Court or whatever court you would hear this in in order to get an injunction against the Senate, even proceeding further on trying to convict him. I think they should. I mean, this is a classic battle between two different branches of government and you look at what the Constitution says. Specifically, it says that the president Is of the United States shall be removed from office on impeachment for and conviction of treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. It doesn't contemplate doing it After the president's out of office. He's got a great case. You also could have senators get up in the middle of the proceedings to say I'm gonna make a constitutional point of order, and I'm gonna force a vote to say this is unconscious. Tutu Chinna lso. Is a remedy in the Senate, and there's a remedy in the federal courts once the memory and we get further away from what happened last Wednesday in the storming of the capital of further away from that on, the Democrats want to get their agenda through. Do you see them? Maybe drop this move. They're not going to be is impassioned. They want to move forward and we just see this all go away, and this was just a big stunt in the end. I think it's possible that Democrats do drop this because it is going to slow down greatly the effort in the Senate to confirm Biden's nominees, and as we know, the 1st 100 days of a presidency is the most important time period to get an agenda launch. You look at the Obama administration they launched Stimulus plans and the number of other things during the 1st 100 days. You're gonna see Democrats say why we wasting time on this impeachment when we could be actually doing the business of the American people. I think you will see many Democrats have second thoughts about the road. They're going down, and I think Republicans right now, Brian darling, as they look at the political landscape, they see defeat all over the place. They see they don't have control of the house, although they picked up seats and in a surprise to so many They lost control of the standard and race in Georgia wasn't expected to happen and lost control of the White House project US out two years from now, If you can. I know so much can change. Do you think that there is a reasonable chance that Republicans are going to be able to retake? Either the House the Senate or both the two years from now, given the political turmoil we're experiencing, and the chances of Democrats potentially over playing their hands. Definitely, I mean, look at what happened in the first two years of the Trump Administration, 40 seats lost in the House and the first two years of the Obama administration massive losses in the house. So does the tradition of there being a little bit of pushback in a correction in the first two years. So I think if you're looking at the house, I think the house is likely to flip to Republican. Even with all of the events over the last The last week over the last few months. If you look at the Senate, it's a little bit different. Obviously, it's a 50 50 Senate. You have a great chance of picking back up that Georgia seat in two years, But it's tough sledding for Republicans because they have so many more candidates or in comments that are gonna be up for re election. And the Democrats do, but I think it's very likely that Republicans take both chambers. Well, well, well, we'll see what happens..

"Air 1 97. Resolution is adopted without objection. The motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. Nancy Pelosi yesterday thinking that gavel after they impeach the president for the second time. Brian Darling is the president of Liberty government affairs and former counsel and senior communications director for Senator Rand. Paul. He's also a veteran of the Senate, Brian Thanks for joining us. Thanks for having me on. So the president's the first one to be impeached. Not once but twice. And this is what this is, I think, well, one into it two years like back to back what does this mean? Well, it's it's tear a terrible thing for the president to have that on mark on his record. I mean, we have a president who had a great record on the economy before the coronavirus said to get three Supreme Court justices and you look at his record. Pretty good record of accomplishment for president and this is obviously going to be part of that history. Part of when we look back and say, How did Donald Trump do? Well, he did get impeached twice by the House of Representatives. Yeah, that will forever be a part of that That story. I wonder, though, if part of the story will be. Is this a turning point for Washington at all in terms of understanding what voters want? I mean, there's a reason a guy like Donald Trump gets elected in the first place and sent to Washington. Did Washington learn any lessons from the Trump presidency? Do you think I don't think so. I think we're seeing Democratic overreach again. I mean, they're trying to impeach a president. When he's going to be out of office. The Senate will not be able to conduct an actual trialing this impeachment till he's well out of office in this, Senator Tom Cotton of Oklahoma, said. This is not something contemplated by our founders. So you know Democrats inevitably, the overreach or talking about expelling members in the House and Hi. They have installed metal detectors to get into the house chamber. I mean, they're going too far. And I think some Democrats probably just want to stand down. Let it go because they know the president. Trump will not be president in a week. But isn't the main push for this isn't the real reason for this In order to prevent the president from being able to run in 2024? Didn't they put a clause into this impeachment that he would not be able to run again for public office? Should he be successfully impeached in the Senate? This goes into the Senate. That's right. But when you look at impeachment impeachment, the purpose of it is to remove a president's committed a high crime or misdemeanor. So it's it was never contemplated to be applied to private citizens, which Donald Trump will be in a week. So when you look at what happens in the Senate, they're gonna have a trial. It looks like Senator Schumer's gonna conduct a trial and at the end of that trial We'll have a vote. They needed two thirds vote to convict the president will. After that they'll get into the penalty phase and in the founders did not Aziz. Many members are going to stay. They're gonna argue process they're going to say, Look what? Look at what's going on. Right now. This is vengeance. This is a way to ban double comforter ever running for office again. But that's not what the purpose of Impeachment is to remove some of these committed a high crime or Mr Mayor. Yesterday, we see The Associated Press reporting that Mitch McConnell has not ruled out voting to convict President Trump in a Senate impeachment trial. He did say, Brian Darling, that this trial will not take place in these final days of the Trump administration and will instead have to wait until Joe Biden is inaugurated as president. McConnell clearly interested in some political positioning here. This could very much disrupt the beginning of the Biden presidency. But what do you think of McConnell, saying that he's not ruling out? Ah, conviction for President Trump. Well, it's not a good sign for where he's at where his head is that with regard to this debate, and obviously if Mitch McConnell leader, the Republican Party in Senate were to vote to bar the president from ever holding office again, that would have a big influence in the conference. Some we did see in the house that a handful 10 Republicans voted for the impeachment resolution that the House is obviously very different than the Senate when it comes to these issues, and we saw that debate over whether to block the electors from from being counted from contested states where you had in the House very strong Republican vote in the Senate not so much. You had eight members. So when you look at the Senate, the Senate would seem to be more open and more likely to hit that 67 vote threshold for a conviction. But I just don't see it happening. I just don't see Republicans going down that road because you gonna many, like Tom Cotton, who will vote who voted against Who voted against the idea that you can block collectors and also will oppose impeachment. But the question that I keep seeing over and over and over again and then you see both sides of this. Can you impeach a private citizen? President Trump will be a private citizen. That's part of our system. You know, like you go back to your your life and you're so how do they do that? How do they impeach A guy is not the president. That's the million dollar question. Is it constitutional? Is this what our founders contemplated and you're going to hear that debate play out on the Senate floor, And maybe it's even possible that this may Go to the courts. It may go to the Supreme Court. If they do do end up voting to ban Donald Trump from running for president. And then he files and he says, You know what I'm gonna run. Let's see what happened. Brian, let me ask you a deeply cynical question. How much of the Republican support for impeaching and convicting the president of the United States is based on a moral stand, or is it based on donor? Concerns. I think some of it is vengeance. I think some of it is donor concerns. I mean, you gotta remember these. These members were in the capital when it was assaulted. So many of them are very personal feelings that their space is invaded them in the Senate floor was actually invaded. By people who occupied the capital, and that clearly is angered very much so many members and the concern that their lives were actually in danger. So I think that may have an impact on this, too. I think the donor concern is a concern. Also. I like what? I have a lot of more questions for you, but what we're going to. We're going to carry over into will talkto. I'll ask you these questions on the other side. I know Vince has more questions as as well here for you, um, regarding this impeachment where we go because I hate to say this and I know everybody's gonna laugh. These are unprecedented times.

It is 37 on this Thursday morning in half half an hour, we'll be joined by Brian Darling and we'll talk about the fallout from the Georgia Senate runoff elections in a democratic control of the House, Senate and presidency. Where does this take us? At 7 35 Coolio Rosas was on the ground in D. C. He'll give us The 1st 10 review of what he saw at 85. Susan for Riccio was with us. She's got the latest details about the electoral college certification in Congress and in a 35 Dr Andy Harris from Maryland's first congressional district.

He's a senior political columnist of the Washington Examiner, also a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. Author of Alienated America. Why Some places thrive while others collapse And he was, of course on the ground. As I said yesterday, Tim Good morning. Thank you for joining us today. Morning, Vince. Morning, Mary. What brought you to the Capitol Building? And if you could describe how events transpired as you were watching them? Yeah. So I had attended some of the rally out by the White House, Um, and then eventually walked down with some of the attendees towards the capital. Uh, sort of Not at the front end, but tail end of the march down there. And when I got there, I saw arrived there just as a group of protesters broke through a barricade, basically causing The police to retreat back towards the building and that Woz unbeknownst to me about when people have broken into the building, and we're going through a speaker Pelosi's office and that sort of thing I did not have access inside the building. Ondo. So I went around the perimeter and saw the scenes of multiple doors where writers were trying to break through the door. But the Capitol police formed a phalanx on the other side of the door just tried to stop him physically, windows being smashed and a cop at one point being pulled to the ground. And surrounded by a mob. Very scary moment, man. You know, it seemed said, like such a disconnect to me and it happened. It seemed pretty quickly I saw it was so interesting because you have the chaos and we're seeing video of what's happening at at at the Capitol and people inside the Capitol in the breaking of the windows. And then about a block away. There was a group of Trump supporters who have been at the rally and they were talking to a reporter and said, they're like we're not violent. We're not those people and they were still having like their little. Their little rally on day were still, you know, shouting, you know, America and USA and those types of things. It was a really, really weird disconnect. It was almost as if it was two distinct separate events that was happening. What was it like outside when all of this was going on? What was the reaction of people? There's a lot more gray area between if you want to say black hats and white hats with the bad guys being the ones with guns drawn in the capital, and then the grandma sitting in chairs on the long, um, there was definitely that and vast majority were You know, just there to cheer and that sort of thing. But it also struck me that so I'd be in a crowd of near the door, Same door that I go in like when I'm with my Senate press pass to go talk to Ah, Lawmaker staffer..

"The electoral college. That's right. Thank you. Okay, that Z Kelly Lefler on Monday. And then So so, then the events of yesterday transporter, right? And you start to get you got Trump supporters storming the Capitol. The violence that took place in the capital, a woman dying in the capital again. Well, this'll all stuff you know, and we'll talk about it more this morning. Then Kelly left water comes out after that. And says this yesterday. When I arrived in Washington this morning, I fully intended to object the certification of electoral votes. However, the events that have transpired today of forced me to reconsider that I cannot now in good conscious, objective certification. Of these electors, violence, lawlessness and Steve of the halls of Congress are abhorrent and stand is a direct attack on the very institution. My objective. My objection was intended to protect the sanctity of the American democratic process, and I think law enforcement for keeping us safe. I believe that there were last minute changes to the November 2020 election process and seriously irregularities that resulted in too many Americans losing confidence not only in the integrity of our elections, but in the power. Of the ballot as a tool of democracy. Too many Americans are frustrated at what they see is an unfair system. Nevertheless, there is no excuse for the events that took place in these chambers today. And I pray that America never suffers such a dark day. Again. Though the fate of this vote is clear. The future of the American people's faith in the Corps institution of this democracy remains uncertain way of the body must turn our focus to protecting the integrity of our elections and restoring every American's faith that there boy, their voice and their vote matters. America's a divided country with serious differences, but it is still the greatest country on earth. There could be no disagreement that upholding democracy is the only path to preserving our republic. Okay, all right, just to break down what she said. Of course, she's writing condemning the violence of that naturally, But there's something interesting that happened here, she says she can't in good conscience continue to object. Now the reason you would think that she announced her objection was out of a good conscience good faith effort in order to mount a protest vote designed to draw attention to and to emphasize Concerns about the integrity of our election system by way of changes and changes to electoral process. He's contravening state legislatures and, you know, bringing into focus the fact that we need this again, as she said in that little speech, a system that we can trust. That would be the effect of the objection vote should she have continued to take it? But instead, she suggested that somehow we would have compromised her to object yesterday that her conscience would be hurt by that. Which tells me that she didn't mean it in the first place. But that hurt an announcement of objecting on Monday night was just political expedience. I mean, anyone who's watching this could really suss that out as it was happening, but was political experience in order to attract Trump supporters to vote for her in Georgia on Tuesday, it wasn't enough anyway. I didn't even go that far with it. I just I heard that yesterday and I and I was thinking, OK, so because people stormed the capital and engaged in something that was horrific and unlawful and absolutely should not have happened. You're just going to let the electoral process slide. You're going to let the violations of the Constitution slide. You're going. You're worried about these people. You're worried about the sanctity of the vote would not Enough to stand by the your convictions and to challenge what you see as wrong doing, right? Yes. So anyways, it kind of gets back to my my prior comment that the killer left, sir. Kind of an unimpressive appointed senator has not been voted out of office on bits. Just it's just been sort of like one disaster after the other this week, But that's that was Kelly levelers activity yesterday now and regarding the impact of Democrats now having control of the Senate, getting control of the Senate will be speaking at length about all of that.

Democrats will take control of the United States Senate. It'll be a 50 50 split between the Democrat and Republican caucuses, giving Kamila Harris the tie breaking vote and Democrats and opportunity. To advance Ah lot more of their agenda. Also, the implications here are pretty strong for the nominees that Joe Biden has in store for the country as their Senate confirmation hearings just got a whole lot easier. Thanks to again Democrat Control of the Senate. Also, that simple majority vote. Let's think about that, Mary. What does it mean? For the United States Senate, The Democrats will be able to pass things on a majority and you think to yourself well, they've got the filibuster right that you actually need. 60 votes toe get anything done in the Senate. Well. Not if they get rid of it. Not if they used a simple majority vote to get rid Of the filibuster and enabling, enabling the Democrats to pass vast swaths of their agenda much more easily. Then it comes down to little things like Will Joe Mansion Stand with Republicans. Will he be a useful blockade to some of these things that Democrats are looking to accomplish with their newfound power? So lots of questions going forward that we're only going to get some answers, too? As we see time? Move on. Listen, Republicans don't stand for themselves so Republicans don't stand together. I I would be shocked if a Democrat cross the aisle. Why would you want to leave the party? The party of power there? They're going to consolidate their power. They're going to magnify their power. They are going Tol Azaz, You said they're going to get rid of the filibuster in order to take any kind of vote away from the minority period. End of story that secures The congress that secures the legislative branch of government for them for many, many, many, many, many years to come by doing that. If they stay or go forward and pack the courts. As we say that is one of their wee here with that is one of their objectives in the first couple of years. If they if they add X number. Let's see, you know if they had six liberal justices to the court that shuts down any conservative voices on the court and any kind of conservative remedies. From the courts moving forward for many, many, many, many years that that place is two branches of government firmly in their control, probably for the rest of my life time and not just and then the presidency is a cakewalk because they also control the media. Yeah. And so where do we go from there Await Venezuela. Well, I'll tell you just think about how this guy we got here. You know, Georgia, everyone know knew it was gonna be neck and neck in the weeks leading up to this runoff election that it wasn't going to be a cakewalk for either party. The belief was Republicans have the advantage. But Democrats could pick off these seats, and now we've Found out that they have they picked out both of them. And how did that happen? Well, one way it happened was Republican turnout wasn't meaningful enough in Georgia. In order to get those Republican candidates over the top and when it comes to Turnout and what Republicans could have done. Even marginal improvements would have resulted in a victory for, say, David Perdue, at least as I'm looking at a 30,000 ft difference between David Perdue And John, also off in the final tally is just about 35,000 votes. That's with 98% of estimated votes reported now. The that that number You can chip away at that. If you had more Republicans who had confidence in the election system in Georgia actually voting, but instead You had people who were in Georgia who are actively telling Republicans who claimed to be Republican. I'm looking at you, Linwood. Who has just been banned from Twitter, by the way. After he's like claimed so many deranged things in the last 600 hours on Twitter, Twitter. Just panda. My guess in the last 24 hours, but When would this lawyer who represented Nicholas Sand Man, of course. So famously, and so well stand man's even come out be like, Are you crazy? Like salmon came out and he couldn't abide. How Linwood was was acting around the issues around George and telling people not to vote. They're telling Republicans not to vote there and Also like saying things like Mike Pence needs to be executed for treason. You know? I mean, it just said it just got in tow lunatic levels. Um and so You know? Does that have an impact?.

"Woman was with the writers who attempted to break through a barricaded door. Just off the standard in the capital, where they say the people. The police were armed. On the other side. You see those photos from inside the chamber. The cops all sort of pinned up against the window. Their guns drawn as the windows were being smashed in. She was hospitalized with that gunshot wound and later died. Um and then, of course, those others with medical emergencies. We don't really have a lot of clarity on what that means from the police. But again, four dead from yesterday's events. That's in addition to 52 people arrested as well at many of whom were arrested by the way most of them were arrested for violating Muriel Bowser's curfew that was instituted at 6 P.m.. So there were these were curfew viol. Nations. A lot of the arrests yesterday. According to the cops. Also 14 Metropolitan police officers were injured on Guy would venture a guess that there's probably others. Who were injured as well. This is just MPD Ondo report We're getting from place gave Robert Conte America. Yes, and and I just want to say is I was saying before before he went to traffic about the division is going to put this out there because you have made a point about how people were saying, you know what's happening. What's going on people who are on the ground there. It was such a disconnect because on one side of my screen was video of people inside the Capitol and at the time peaceful, you know, they're walking between the velvet ropes, taking pictures and statuary hall that kind of thing inside there. And then you start get more violent. You some people, you know, breaking windows, and then the people outside on the lawn of the Capitol on the steps were just kind of like milling around hands in their pockets. Wandering around watching what was going on. It was such a disconnect. There was like one group in Inside. You know, that was violent. I think there were other people inside who are very peaceful. But outside, For the most part, the vast majority of those people were just wondering what was going on. And and so a lot of them didn't even look like they were packed. They were, like, all right, well, I gotta get a ride home. So it was. It was such a disconnect. It was like two worlds yesterday, Right? And I got to imagine especially if you're if you're kind of back from the capital even a little bit, maybe a block away. Maybe even hard to tell what's going on, You know, because what happens is the images from inside the Capitol right at the capital's, or they get blown up into these gigantic national things. We're seeing them vividly right there on our screens. But maybe if you were in attendance, and if your father back in a crowd where you think that you're there to be a part of a peaceful protest, a peaceful assembly may be hard to find out that you probably start getting indications text messages. Things like that. You know, I do know someone who went yesterday. A friend of mine. Who was there who just walked. The perimeter of the capital is all this was going on, was just walking around praying the rosary. Praying the rosary that that all of this could come to an end and praying for our country on Guarantee he was not alone that a lot of people yesterday I found myself praying yesterday because because it's just so disheartening. You know, I mean, like, I know everybody knows what I mean. It's just you watch that and you know, like What happens now? You know what comes next? How do we How do we get it together? Like how do we hang together? You know, I heard, um Tucker Carlson say last night. That You know, there's some some fantasies occasionally from people that we can figure out a way to have some sort of peaceful, peaceful break up where you know one half the country goes its own way. The other half the country goes this other way, and then they can live and you know their own utopias of their own political designs. And he pointed out. This is not possible. That is a fantasy and that in America were like conjoined twins. You cut one off, the other dies and there's this Is this reality that we have to figure out how to get through it all that we have to figure out how to bring it all together again. And in order to do that, and again, I'll expand on this this morning. But in order to do that, you have to have some confidence in your institutions. You have to have faith that the system works, and it works for everybody in America. Especially in our our electoral system. How we do this every two years substantially for the House of Representatives every four years in a giant way when it comes to the White House every six years percent and Almost always, almost always these things come and go. Feelings are hurt. People's egos were bruised, but in the end, everyone sort of cannot accept. Okay, this work and butt's gather ourselves and come back next time. And if you lose that that's when you start becoming third world. If you lose your ability to have any faith in the system whatsoever, that's when you that's when you find yourself in chaos. And we have so many leaders so many leaders who have devalued their currency who have who have been untrustworthy, who have violated the trust of the public who have sought to enhance themselves in to enrich themselves. We've been corrupt who have sold us out for so many years? How do you think Trump gets elected in the first place? It's the Washington establishment that the people were rejecting because they didn't like being looked down upon anymore and rejected and not not hurt. So With you. This is all should be a gigantic wake up call to our ruling class that the only way that you can lead is if you care about the people that you lied, See, And I'm going to disagree with you cause I don't think it's a wake up call to the ruling class at all. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm saying it should be. It should be. Yes, And I don't. I don't think it will. And I think you're going to see more division as we move forward. Unfortunately, we've got a lot more coming up a lot of guests who will be joining us. Tim Kearney will be from washing. An examiner was at the capital.
