UPDATE: The Latest From the Trump Russia Trial | Louder with Crowder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
All time. Northern California, far from the hypodermic needles and human fecal matter of San Francisco,
lies a majestic redwood forest, untouched by civilized man.
It is here that people travel the world over, hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive Sasquatch.
Known by many names across the globe, Yeti, Wendigo.
Here, we know him simply as Bigfoot.
Why, that's a curious racket.
Perhaps he got into a beehive.
Maybe he got his hands on some of that methamphetamine on which the locals are so keen.
Who's that dapper man?
Is that General Eisenhower?
No, it's Bigfoot himself!
He found the Manscaped Lawnmower!
That's right, the Lawnmower Groomer from Manscaped.
It features a premium 7,000 RPM motor with QuietStroke technology.
It's also waterproof, from the future, and can take on your toughest, coarsest hair.
Especially where it matters most, like those sensitive, unmentionable areas.
Tell me, handsome friend, you think that contraption could shave one of those San Francisco beatnik grogs?
Well, it just shaved an entire Sasquatch, didn't it?
Ho ho, Bigfoot.
That's for another day, my friend.
For another day.
Look, I just... I just don't understand why you gave the money back after you shot the clerk.
for the funniest show on earth.
Look, I just...
I just don't understand why you gave the money back after you shot the clerk.
What was the point?
Look, I know this is new to you a little bit, and I appreciate that you're now more conscientious,
but this is a... I've been conservative my whole life, It's not conservative.
Yeah, it's about fiscal responsibility.
It's a spree kill.
You wouldn't understand.
It's a thrill kill.
You don't even have money.
You left the money there.
It's half thrill kill, half fiscal responsibility.
Let's just split the difference.
You yelled, I know you.
Well, that was just for show.
Thank you for coming out.
I appreciate it.
Have a great show.
Thank you.
Have a great show.
Thank you.
I Bye.
That's an I got something for ya sip.
Boy, it couldn't have come at a better time, could it?
Really?
We've been sitting on something.
Not like Satan with a tack.
No.
What is it with him and sitting on tacks?
You know, it's a fetish.
Does Satan have a Staples sponsorship?
He couldn't get to Belgium.
So, uh, I was just about to say a French word.
We used to have, like, bureau en gros, and I'm like, what's the English word?
What's the English store with it?
Anyway, the point is Beto O'Rourke sucks.
Beto Francis O'Rourke.
We've been sitting on something for a while.
We have an on-location package here with our team later in the program where we went down, I couldn't go because I have my face on a wanted poster, but Sent our team down there for one of his town halls, and we were saying, well, when should we release this?
You know, because I don't want to torpedo his political career, but... He'll do that himself.
Yeah, then that happened.
After the show yesterday.
Yeah.
And we were sitting, we were out there in the, I don't know what you call it, control room?
Main room?
I think it's an open floor plan.
And we were sitting there going, I can't believe this is happening.
I was like, that's perfect.
I think that's Beto O'Rourke.
It'll be like when we drop the Taking Back Sunday parody of Ilhan Omar, you know, banging her brother.
If, like, the marriage certificate makes its way into the public eye.
Like, this is the perfect time to release it.
We have things that we're sitting on that we haven't released yet.
Just gotta wait for your moment.
Yeah.
Hey, you wrote the show for us.
Thanks, Beto.
Thank you, Francisco.
Look, I'm Spanish-ifying his name.
It's more so.
It's just Francis.
Yeah.
Francis.
It is Francis O'Rourke.
It's Francis O'Rourke.
Don't call me Francis.
Have you tried the enchilada Francis-style?
Yeah, get a Francis-style.
What does that mean?
It's cheese with a not-spicy... Very bland.
So...
He's the kind of guy who shows up to a party and brings a piñata but it's empty.
Makes the kids all sad, man.
Oh, what a bummer.
So, my question to you is, do you think that Beto O'Rourke has ruined his political career?
I can't imagine this is going to reflect well on him.
And what is it that you remember most about Beto O'Rourke?
I say that as though, you know, we've already buried the proverbial, the figurative, political, the body of his political career.
And today, what are we going to be talking about?
Today's about leaks.
You already went to the restroom, right?
Uh, yes.
Okay, different leaks.
We're still leaking.
So remember all the Uyghur camps that we've talked about in China?
Yeah, that don't exist.
Kind of a reason for why you should own AR-15s?
They exist, and they're worse than we thought.
And then there's also more information on the Donald Trump fake, you know, the Russia probe.
I don't know when sedition applies, but I read up the definition of sedition, and I mean, it's this.
It's a good definition.
So, we have that.
The package with Mr. O'Rourke.
Before we get to that, oh, I should tell you guys, of course, Monday through Thursday, you can just go to Rumble or you can go to loudmouthcrowder.com.
If we are not here on YouTube, because God only knows how long we'll be here, and we are not doing a show on Memorial Day, just to let you know.
Gerald A., how are you, sir?
I'm better today.
Yeah.
A little bit better.
Got it off our chest a little bit.
Yeah.
Looked at Beto make a complete clown of himself again.
Yes.
How are you?
Well, I'm looking for... I didn't get to see the whole thing because I was working and you guys said don't watch it all because we want you to watch the show.
Yeah, we wanted to see your reaction.
So I'm hoping it lifts my spirits.
Listen to Ted Cruz's response to him.
Yeah.
Very dismissive.
When you're being a spirit like an Irish hand of O'Rourke.
Yes!
Like I've been kissed by an angel named Francis.
If the angel was super gay and annoying.
Look, if O'Rourke's not Spanish, I just don't know.
I have no idea.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know what's true anymore!
Up is down, down is up!
Go Irish!
It's almost like I buttoned only the bottom button on my shirt.
So what does that do?
Only the bottom.
I feel like I'm a big sale at that point.
I'm trying to make this a thing, bro!
It's not working!
Very drafty!
Keep trying, Beto.
So, you're here with me with Quickest Wit in the West, and I am going to be with him in Colorado Springs.
You can go to livewithquickestwit.com slash tour.
We have the daytime show.
There are still some tickets there.
The evening show is sold out.
June 18th in Colorado Springs.
Dave Landau, how are you, sir?
Ahoy, good.
How about you?
I'm, you know, good.
Yeah.
We'll see what happens with Beto.
You'll be better in a minute.
I think I'll be better, yeah.
Very soon.
Okay.
So, uh, well, this is the Watch and React here right off the top.
Um, we had the conference, uh, well, we, we, okay, we, Governor Greg Abbott had his conference.
I say we because, you know, it's, it's, there is a little bit of, I hate to do the us versus them, but when it's a Republican in a wheelchair, I take him on our team.
Take him under the wing.
Yeah.
Cause he fits.
Stop it.
Stop it.
He does.
There's nothing funny.
The man's half shopping cart.
Now.
That's why Beto picks on him.
And by the way, also I should preface this, the context, before you watch this clip, Beto crashes a press conference of Governor Abbott.
The worst part is you didn't see it, but he also stole his parking space.
He parked right up next to him, too, so he couldn't even open the van door.
Right.
And he double-parked it next to the expectant transgender mother's spot as well.
No respect.
He's a fraud.
Doesn't practice what he preaches.
So, Governor Greg Abbott was addressing the shooting that had taken place.
Tragedy, obviously.
We addressed this yesterday.
I recommend you go watch the show because we addressed some of the myths that were then perpetuated immediately after the show ad nauseam.
And he was there.
And it was confusing because CNN, the chyron said, protester shows up.
And then we said, wait, there's a Beto behind that protester.
Turns out the crazy person who's the protester was Beto O'Rourke crashing Governor Abbott's town hall.
Of course, something, something, something.
How many lives lost?
Let's watch.
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
This guy gets fiery.
There's one more guy that I love.
You're out of line.
Sit down and don't play this joke.
The next shooting is right now and you are doing nothing.
No, he needs to get his ass out of here.
This isn't a place to talk to the soldiers.
This guy gets fiery.
Sir, you're out of line.
I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
That's Texas, baby.
He's right, though.
Can't believe he was a sick zombie.
Remember when I said get ready for the political grandstanding?
Yeah.
Well, there you go.
And he did it!
He decided to pick on a guy who can't stand.
Less than 24 hours later in the most grandstandish way possible.
We want to find common ground.
Let me crash your press conference in a way that I know I can't be productive because I don't have a microphone just for a PR stunt because I've failed in every political bid pretty much ever.
Yeah, well, you know, this is the trifecta.
President, Senate, and now Governor.
Love it.
You're not doing anything.
I mean, I'm really not doing anything, but you're not either.
You're doing the job that I want to not do.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh.
I should have thought this out.
Yeah.
Ted Cruz goes, sit down.
Sit down.
It's so dismissive.
And Ted Cruz isn't necessarily the most authoritative.
I'm just talking as far as optics.
So when Ted Cruz makes you look like, I'm sorry, a bitch bro, that's really bad.
Well, I mean, this is a press conference where they're not necessarily discussing, like, how to solve this problem.
No, they're giving you information.
They're updating the public on what's going on, what happened, and they knew some more stuff.
Obviously, we didn't know this when we talked about it yesterday, that he did have a handgun, but they said the AR-15 was the only weapon that was used.
Only one of the rifles.
There was an interaction as he was going in.
I think there was somebody who was armed.
At the very least, somebody who wasn't armed.
One of the resource managers at the school confronted or saw him and didn't actually confront.
Didn't physically engage him.
Right, and then three people, uh, three officers kind of chased him and cornered him in that room, and that's when all of the things happened.
And, by the way, also, hero alert, he shot his grandmother in the face, who then went to the... after being shot in the face, went to the neighbors.
Yeah.
Right?
Asked for some sugar.
No, I'm just kidding.
Did that come from him?
I'm not a ventriloquist anymore.
No, seriously, that is a badass- I mean, 50 Cent, eat your heart out.
Yeah.
He was never face shot and still walked next door.
No, walked next door.
Called the cops.
Called the cops.
He stole my car.
Can I borrow your phone?
Yeah.
There was a lot more, you know, information going on, so it's good to get some updates on this.
To try to figure out, like, we need to figure out how this happened.
Right.
So that we can help prevent- No, no, no, no, no, no.
They don't want us to figure out how it happened, Beto O'Francis O'Rourke.
Just like one of the news outlets that was making the shooter look more white.
We're talking about that.
Casey was letting us know.
The point is, they don't want you to know how this happened, the who, what, when, where, why.
They want to immediately pivot to non-solutions, like we discussed yesterday, and then fact-checked in real time.
CNN, a Texas representative, went on and used the exact arguments that we had already addressed.
It is so predictable.
Assume that the left Is going to come at you with something new, so you need to educate yourself, but you will usually find yourself pleasantly surprised.
Okay.
Speaking of a complete lack of self-awareness, President Kamala Harris has a niece.
Vice.
President Kamala Harris, respect the office, has a niece who just sort of accidentally wrecked her aunt.
And the former Vice President Biden didn't really realize.
So, of course, after we had the tragic shooting, right?
Everything is under that context right now.
But then immediately after that, Mina Harris tweeted the niece, it's easier to get a gun than baby formula.
Okay, everyone pause.
That didn't go over how you think it went over.
Guns are hard to get.
Baby formula is harder.
Do you see what you did there?
I mean, we did have three, I don't count the last year of President Donald Trump.
I don't know about you, I don't remember a huge baby formula shortage.
No.
No, ever.
No.
Even when the world was shut down, we didn't have shortages.
No.
You remember that?
You know we had shortages when the entire planet closed?
Yeah.
So she thought she was saying like, ah, it's so easy to get a gun, but really she was just highlighting
that it's difficult to get baby formula.
A budding career ahead of you.
Yeah, you really do.
You may end up being President of the United States one day.
Yes, please.
Who, by the way, also, ironically, eats baby food and formula.
Yes, well, that's all he can keep down.
She.
I don't know which one, too.
I don't know which one.
Well, former Vice President Biden, when he's hungry, he just says, Biddy!
And someone comes in.
That's like LeBron James throwing up Similac now.
Yes, exactly.
That's what they're doing in the club.
They're just pouring new Trimogen.
Instead of cocaine, just throwing it all over abroad.
Guys, you're not making the point you think you are.
Why are you snorting Similac powder?
Because I can, bitch!
It's for sensitive stomachs.
Get that on your hip, man.
Well, and I know this sounds, but it's not too far from reality because this is now being parroted by several people on the left who also think this is a good point.
C. Underling to Mr. Kerr, who was also an ass yesterday, and not to be outdone with the Golden State Warriors, a player, Damian Lee, uses the same point as Auntie Harris' niece.
Guns shouldn't be as easily accessible.
It's easier to get a gun than baby formula right now.
That's unbelievable in this country that we live in.
You're right.
Because of Biden!
What are you missing?
This guy's a genius!
Put him on every billboard in America!
I think I understand what that future neurosurgeon was saying.
This is the dumbest people have the largest platforms.
Hold your comments, I know what you're about to say.
Hey, you can buy both illegally for a lot of money.
Yes, exactly.
Yes, you've created a criminal enterprise from baby formula.
Yeah, great job.
The war on Similac.
Alright, so is that about all we have to say about that?
It was never sold by the gram until now.
Baby formula dealers on every corner.
And they really think, like, think about this.
We've just, these are the first few minutes of the program today.
Beto really thinks he got the best of a guy in a wheelchair.
And then Kamala Harris's niece thinks that she was like, I think I made my point.
My work here is done.
And then also the Golden State Warriors guys are like, yeah, we've got them on the back foot.
You guys should team up and be an idiot.
Yeah.
That's a good one.
Power Rangers with a Megazord, only with a room temperature IQ.
Going through the city like, I don't know, this says you're legally retarded.
That's why I keep stepping on everything, okay.
Hey, what happened to the Empire State Building?
Son of a bitch.
So, let's go to this.
All right, China.
In another exhibit, 150,042.
I don't know what number that is.
I don't even know if I just said a real number.
150,042.
Reason 55.
Let's go with that.
I can't count that high.
I can't count to 20.
Is that a real number?
50,042.
To reason 55.
Let's go with that.
I can't count that high.
I can't count to 20.
I need to be wearing sandals.
If you needed another reason to own an AR-15 or another reason to understand the Second
Amendment, let's go to what's been going on here in China.
The Xinjiang Uyghur camps.
Now there have been files that were released, so let me be clear about this.
We've talked about this in the past.
What is new?
There's a massive leak of police files from Xinjiang and it showed an actual unprecedented amount of detail surrounding China's use of, you know, what they claimed were re-education camps for These are the faces China never intended us to see from inside its system of mass incarceration in Xinjiang.
The government has long denied its running detention camps for Uyghurs, insisting instead they are vocational schools for willing students.
The photos, almost 3,000 of them, show the reality of how whole swathes of Uyghur society have been swept up person by person.
The oldest was 73 at the time of her detention, the youngest just 15.
Swathes?
So, we have... That was your takeaway.
You ever heard that?
No.
I think he meant swathes.
Was it slaves with an L?
I have no idea.
I think he meant... Kind of like Uyghurs?
Yeah.
You know what they mean.
They pronounce everything weird.
Yeah, they do.
I don't know who they think they're fooling or getting away with.
So let me kind of give you some information here, okay?
Like we said, this was handed over.
There's a lot of new information.
BBC, it looks like they did their due diligence.
They authenticated a lot of these documents.
Okay.
What do we see here?
Well, they refute the claims from the Communist Chinese Party that the camps are just re-education centers.
It shows clearly an armed police presence.
Someone crying, trying to sit there.
I mean, this is like what Pol Pot did when he had everybody sit down for camp.
This was on the cover of Time Magazine when he did this, when you saw the thing poking into the back of their head.
It's that same energy.
Well, re-education sounds so friendly.
Yeah, I mean, the thing is, even when they're trying to hide it, they used a word that we all know is a word that doesn't mean what you think it means.
Yeah, re-education camps.
Oh, it's not that kind of camp, it's a re-education camp.
Like, that's exactly what we think it is.
That's what we were saying it was.
Wait, what do you say?
Yeah, but you're saying it in a bad way.
Is there another way to say it?
No.
No, it's just bad.
It must be lost in translation.
No, no, no, it was captured perfectly in translation.
So, um, the reasons for the re-education here, um, they were also included in the file.
So let me give you some examples.
Uh, a 35-year-old named Yusup Ismail, um, was detained for, quote, traveling to sensitive countries.
Yeah.
Detained means put in jail.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Right?
Yeah.
Okay.
Just making sure everybody understands that.
A 60-year-old, uh, is it Taigul Tair was, uh, detained just because her son had strong religious leanings, meaning he, uh, he didn't drink or smoke like all Chinese people ever.
I think she was put in jail for like 10 years.
Yeah.
Yeah, a lot.
And we have some more examples of that too.
Unbelievable.
And they've also, here's something else, they've been expanded too.
So the prisons have actually been expanded.
They've been growing as a means to control Uyghurs.
And for people who don't know, who hear the word, it means Chinese Muslims.
It's a group of Muslims in China.
So I think we have a set of leaked spreadsheets now that are showing a quarter million Uyghurs.
That's unbelievable.
And we also have some information as to why they were detained.
2017, one man was jailed for 10 years because he studied Islamic scripture in 2010.
Tursyn Kadir was jailed for 16 years and 11 months for quote, growing a beard under the influence of religious extremism.
So just to clarify this, what China did is they basically identified the Uyghurs as part of a problem group of citizens.
And so instead of trying to control the behavior of different people, there were a couple of different attacks that were attributed to this group.
They said Uyghurs in general are part of the problem.
So they classified an entire group of people as the problem and built camps and then started coming up with reasons to send them there and imprisoning them under the guise of terrorism.
Does that sound familiar to anybody right now?
Him with his lazy Holocaust comparisons.
No, no, no.
No, it's not a comparison to the Holocaust.
Your go-to.
In fairness, that beard was pretty extreme.
White supremacists are the problem in this country.
They are the most significant source of Domestic terrorism.
That's being used in the United States.
But here's something else that I think people need to understand.
There's a subtext here in the Chinese government completely wrong.
Let's be very, very clear here, and I'm going to get into more condemnation of the communist Chinese government.
But it also shows that they do recognize something that a lot of people in the West dare not speak.
That Islam, and it doesn't mean that these people were guilty of any of it, but Islam itself is as much of a political prescription as it is a religion.
And when you have a communist Chinese government, they of course cannot allow that.
No.
They recognize that because there is no—you know, we argue about melting pot versus a mosaic.
There, it's you fall in line, period.
And so they see Islam as a political threat, not just, you know, this idea of a sort of a theology.
But even then, you know, Bibles are a problem over there.
So my point is they get it all wrong.
Now, another thing, the leaked documents also show that the government were very clearly involved because they've been trying to play ignorant, kind of like with COVID.
Look, the lesson here is don't trust the Communist Chinese government, period.
If you care about Chinese people, the Chinese citizens, you really have to hope for the worst for the CCP.
So Secretary in Xinjiang, we have some quotes here, called for officials to shoot anyone attempting to escape.
They ordered increased capacity at the center.
So these, what they've been telling us that it's not That it's non-existent, and while we have been signing deals left and right that involve China as though they are some kind of trade partner on equal footing, they are committing gross atrocities of human rights.
Well, we bitch about atrocities of human rights committed here in America centuries ago.
Hey, look, the world is still an ugly place, leftists.
You can do something now.
Yeah.
Well, I know we're going to see Steve Kerr come out and say that we have to do something about this, right?
Yeah.
Like, he's going to have the same kind of, like, fervent behavior, like, angry, frustrated, because the NBA is not beholden to China for anything, right?
I know we're going to see movie studios come out now and stop making movies directly related to what China wants because of this, right?
I know that we're going to see Disney start pulling out, Apple start pulling out, Nike start pulling out of China, right, because of this?
Yeah.
If you can save one life, guys?
Right.
If you can save one life.
We're talking about a quarter million.
This is going on in China right now.
It's, uh, I mean, it's at best slavery.
Yeah.
At worst, who knows how far it goes, a modern Holocaust.
At best, it's forced indentured servitude, because these people are in work camps also, effectively.
And at worst, God only knows how many of these people have been killed.
We don't have the numbers.
And guess why we can't get them?
I don't know if you know this, the CCP's not necessarily known for transparency, folks.
Well, it's probably worse now.
So we got all this information from hacks conducted prior to 2018.
That's when they upgraded their security software.
And I don't know that we've been able to hack, not we, but whoever did it, has been able to hack and get any more information.
So this is somewhat old information.
It could be far, far worse now.
It could be far worse.
Yeah, I can't imagine it got better.
I can't imagine that in 2019 or 2020, you're like, oh my God, egg on my face, you're free.
Well, and one of the things that I read in there that said somebody wasn't using their phone enough.
So they were obviously trying to evade detection, and so they took him to jail for that.
Yeah.
Not even kidding.
Like, you can't even make this stuff up.
Well, they took him to jail for using cricket.
That's true.
It was Grindr.
He wasn't getting any reception.
It was Grindr.
It's a guy who's four cells away.
I'm over here.
You can just hear him at night, like, Hey!
Who wants to be part of it?
Don't matter, I don't fear it anyway.
I'm a mayor!
My soul is dead.
So, look, pray for the Uyghurs there in China, and not only them, but all the people who are under the thumb of Chinese oppression.
And by the way, don't you love it how the left claims that authoritarianism is something that's extreme right?
Look at it today, where does authoritarianism exist?
When we passed the assault weapons ban, mass shootings went down.
When the law expired, mass shootings tripled.
The idea that an 18-year-old kid can walk into a gun store and buy two assault weapons is just wrong.
Everything that guy just said is bullshit.
What in God's name do you need an assault weapon for except to kill someone?
Hold on a second.
Let's change one thing.
That 18-year-old boy is a Uyghur.
Yep.
And the government's rounding him up to put him in a work camp where he may or may not get out alive.
Hey, look, this is one thing that, again, we've always said, like, you know, it's the old, it's a lazy sort of trope, but correlation does not equal causation.
Okay, good.
I took humanities as well.
But in this case, every single dictator, authoritarian, has had to disarm their population.
It's not... I would prefer it if I'm an evil dictator.
It's a necessity.
That doesn't mean that that's always going to happen when you disarm your population, but you have to disarm them if you want to subjugate them.
So, let's just change that.
An 18-year-old does never need a... Here's a case.
Hey, do the 18-year-olds in Ukraine need rifles?
Because we just sent $40 billion to them to buy them.
I'm just a little murky on the rulebook.
Is that me?
Hey, but on the rulebook of grooming... No murky.
It's not murky at all.
I thought you were going to pull a Kevin Spacey.
Manscaped.
You saw that little Bigfoot.
Turns out Bigfoot's just a guy.
I know, right?
Well, he just needed a shave.
So check out the Manscaped.
It's the lawnmower.
It's 4.0.
I don't know.
They have like 3.0.
There's always a number attached to it, but it just works.
You just shave yourself with it.
It does.
I told you with the surgery, I had to use the clippers.
Yeah.
And I used one of these, and it actually really works.
Here's what I will say.
They have things that they want me to say.
The light on this thing makes a big difference.
It does.
There's a light on the razor, and I have cut myself in many unsavory places without it.
It helps me reach areas that are a bit tainted?
Yep.
I would understand that.
Your soul.
So you get 20% off plus free shipping if you go to Xi Jinping.
You get 20% off this free shipping if you go to manscaped.com with the promo code CROWDER20.
And you know what, they have the balls to sponsor this show.
Yeah?
See?
That's true.
Now, let's go to Trump-Russia, because we have to get back to Beto O'Rourke, which I'm just really looking forward to.
Yeah, he's a great guy.
So this is one of those things where you hear about it and your eyes glaze over.
I feel this way too, okay?
So I'm going to try and make it so that that's not the case.
Forgive me if I fail.
We all know about Russiagate, this stuff that's been going on.
Donald Trump, Russia, Russia, Russia.
Okay.
It's lies.
It's all bullcrap.
We kind of all know that now.
Now what matters is the new information that we have.
The only thing that's really changed is how far along the trail Did those in positions of power in the institutions which you must trust know that it was bullshit?
Now we have answers.
It was immediately.
That's really kind of what's new, and then I'll give you a bit of a refresher, a little bit of a remedial.
So, you know, the former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer, it's Michael Sussman, right?
The trial continued this week.
Now, here's the thing.
You may not all remember this, but Sussman lied, allegedly, about his official connection with the Clinton campaign to the FBI.
Aaron, Sussman is charged with a single count of making false statements to the FBI during a September 2016 meeting with the Bureau's General Counsel.
The meeting was about a theory, since disproven, suggesting ties between a Kremlin-linked bank and a computer server at the Trump Organization.
Sussman told FBI General Counsel James Baker he wasn't passing the material along at the behest of any client.
But prosecutors say that was a lie and that Sussman was in fact acting on behalf of a tech executive as well as Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.
In opening arguments today, Prosecutor Britton Shaw said Sussman was involved in what she called a plan to create an October surprise on the eve of the presidential election.
A plan that used and manipulated the FBI.
Okay, so here's the thing, the FBI admitted that the investigation into the allegations from Sussman, so Sussman's the one making these allegations about Trump and Russia, okay?
The FBI admitted that they knew it was bullcrap, that it was a waste of time, was their quote, but they went ahead anyway.
So let me be clear about this.
This means that, um, this is something we've known for a while.
So let me sort of string together the timeline, the claims that they made and the truth, all references available at LatterEarthCracker.com so that you can kind of make sense of it.
Because a lot of people understand, okay, Donald Trump, Russia, and this is what happens.
They bombard you for so long.
And I, this even happens to me where you get bored, you go, all right.
But then you forget that it's all based on a lie because you assume that maybe it's a half truth and a half truth.
And he said, she said, nope.
None of it's true.
Alright.
So, let's go back here.
Now that we know when it started, the FBI knew this.
The information that we already had is more illuminating.
A waste of time, but a fun exercise is the exact quote.
The FBI said it's a waste of time, but a fun exercise.
Really?
You're supposed to be having fun?
You guys too busy watching kiddie porn over there to actually do some real work?
Why do you doubt your institutions, Gerald?
They're there for your protection.
You're right.
I don't want to go to a camp.
I'm sorry.
Yes, exactly.
You're the best.
It's a fun camp.
No, it's not.
It's re-education.
Go face Mecca.
Um, the claim that they made, and again, I want to set the context, they made these claims knowing that it was false.
At the time!
That's huge!
As far as changing the understanding of it, so I thought if we revisited it, and you knowing, oh, they said this when they knew it was a lie.
Okay, so the first claim that they had, they said that the, uh, uh, Steele dossier, if you don't remember that, I'll get to it really quickly, that it was proof that Trump colluded with the Russians.
Okay, here is the truth.
The entire dossier was prepared by Christopher Steele.
You've heard that name.
Fusion GPS was the company he worked with.
It was financed by the Clinton campaign.
Just to be clear.
Now, something else that also adds some context that matters.
I want to make sure I get this name right.
Igor Denchenko, the main source for the Steele dossier, he was given this information.
So the Steele dossier was given this information from a PR executive for the Clinton campaign.
A trustworthy individual.
Yes.
So, basically, the bulk for all of these sources, these claims, this information, that the FBI knew was false, was coming from the Clinton campaign.
There's no doubt about that now.
The only thing that changes is the FBI knew it was, they were like, oh yeah, we know that, we know that.
That's awesome.
Like, you didn't need to depose me.
What are you asking me, is it bullshit?
Yeah, it's bullshit.
Good.
Can I go get lunch?
Well, and Sussman came out and actually said that Hillary Clinton knew.
Of course you did!
I mean, like, there's usually plausible deniability, right?
No, there's no plausible deniability.
There's layers that you can be like, oh, I had no idea when we all know you did.
But he actually testified like, yeah, Hillary Clinton knew exactly.
And then she tweeted out, oh my gosh, he's colluding with Russia, knowing that that was a lie.
Right.
Is that not a crime?
Well, actually, we're going to get to that sedition in a second.
But you're right.
You're right.
You're absolutely right.
He's got, like, probably a month left.
Who?
Gerald Sussman?
No, Sussman.
Oh, I thought you were saying Gerald.
Sussman's been looking real depressed lately.
Yeah, yeah.
He might accidentally hang himself in his cell.
He also does not look like the kind of man who's handy enough to fix his own brakes.
Looks like he might run terrified through the woods and shoot himself three times in the back.
Right, or a tree fall on him.
There's Clinton standing behind the tree.
I didn't yell timber.
So, here's another claim that they made.
All real things.
And it was a claim, but the media carried their claim without carrying Donald Trump's original claim.
Donald Trump said, hey, they're spying on me.
And the media fact-checked it and said there was no spying on Donald Trump or his campaign.
Right?
That's what they said.
They labeled it a conspiracy theory.
You can go to overlay.
I tried to make him sound crazy.
Yeah.
Well, here's the thing.
The truth that we now know, the FBI did spy on Donald Trump.
And, again, the warrants that they procured to spy on Donald Trump were based on the aforementioned lies that we just told you about.
And the FBI knew were lies!
It's just so much work.
Remember in every single cop movie or show, it used to be like, hey, can we come in?
You got a warrant?
Shit!
Mm-hmm.
Thwarted again.
You know?
Whereas now they're just like, we'll just make one up.
Why do we always keep coming to these places without a warrant?
Without a warrant.
We just say that and we leave.
Oh, I don't know.
We just get like a stock placeholder warrant that we can just bring to place to place.
It's like why every undercover thing here.
Are you a cop?
You have to tell me if you are.
Ah, I gotta blow my cover.
So Donnie Brosco then?
Yeah, I'm a cop.
And then he kills him, and you're like, oh, jeez.
They're probably going to kill you, so you might want to put all your jewelry back in that case and give us a good ending montage.
So here's another truth there.
The FBI, they weren't the only ones spying on Donald Trump.
We know this now.
The Clinton campaign spied on Donald Trump, even though they're still denying this.
And here's one of the quotes from them.
Trump and Fox are desperately spinning up a fake scandal to distract from his real ones.
So it's a day that ends in Y.
The more- That means like, hey, it's every day.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's clever.
They're clever like that.
The more his- Is your husband has sex with people that aren't her?
Yes, or somebody that had dirt on them died.
Yeah, yeah.
The more his misdeeds are exposed, the more they lie.
Now, it's not that the Clinton campaign is denying it.
Think about this.
Think of just the few steps that we are in now.
The FBI knew it was false, went ahead with warrants anyway.
The Clintons, verifiably, spied on Donald Trump.
But they knew the media was going to fact check Donald Trump.
It's the lack of any fearing of accountability.
It's just the lying so boldly in public.
Like, oh, that didn't happen.
He's corrupt.
And the media goes, oh, yeah, he said it didn't happen.
He's corrupt.
And Russia, oh, Russia.
And then Donald Trump comes out and they're spying on me.
Oh, he's crazy.
Come on, Donald Trump.
Nobody's spying on you.
We have a February 2022 filing stated that Sussman worked in conjunction with a tech executive to spy on Trump.
Oh, OK.
All right.
So we have overlay P here.
You can bring it up there, Kevin.
The internet data was exploited, and then we have an ellipsis here, I think, redacted.
Internet traffic pertaining to Trump Tower, Donald Trump's Central Park West apartment building, and the executive office of the President of the United States.
Whoa, what?
Yep, yep.
So while he was president, they were still spying on him.
Totally normal.
They have mics in the room already!
They just wanted to try and drive him nuts, and then gaslight him, where he'd pick up the phone, he'd hear scratching, like, Hello?
Someone spying?
No!
There you are!
Who's... No, I'm not!
Who said that?
Nobody!
You're not nobody.
I've met him.
You sound nothing like him.
So, look, we know this, it's verified, but again, the context is the FBI knew this from the beginning.
That, you know, I've always said don't attribute to malice what, you know, you can simply be chalked up to ignorance.
No, this is malice.
Yeah, definitely malice.
Yeah, malice of forethought here from an institution you must trust.
You're the villain if you don't trust the FBI.
By the way, the only people who should have guns should be the three-letter agencies and your local police.
By the way, defund the police.
So yeah, you know, the police are corrupt, but we'll tell you, but then you should trust them.
You should also just trust the police and the FBI and the CIA.
They should be the only ones with guns.
The point is, give us all your power.
Here's another claim that was made about Donald Trump and the Russia scandal.
Okay?
You guys remember this?
The infamous pee tape.
R. Kelly.
So stupid.
And this was as late as 2021.
Christopher Steele was still claiming that the pee tape, which was showing Donald Trump, they claimed, you know, with Russian prostitutes, they were still claiming that it existed.
That's in 2021.
Just to give you context, that's after the pandemic started.
Like, what is the reasoning behind doing that?
Like, hey guys, we'll do a p-tape.
That's the most outlandish thing.
It seems like that should be pretty easy to prove.
Yeah, it just takes a tape.
Yeah, it just takes the tape.
When you consider the amount of investigative work they do to try and disprove James O'Keefe, you would just think that, okay, they have some proof because they're going around saying, well, the truth is the p-tape It never happened.
There's been no proof of it whatsoever.
It's never been substantiated.
As a matter of fact, the source of the allegation...
That, again, Igor Denchenko was arrested and charged with making false statements to the FBI, who already have showed that they are okay with false statements.
Very strange.
As long as they're a fun exercise.
They're like, I'm sorry, sir, it's illegal to make false statements.
But I saw that guy make it.
Yeah, but those were fun.
Hey, I got an idea.
We can make those statements, sir.
We're the FBI.
Let's claim a germaphobe likes peeing prostitutes.
That's really going to fly.
Could have been more likely to douse them in sanitizer.
Yeah.
Ah, Anastasia grows.
You're better than that!
But it also seems like something you would want done to you if you were into S&M or shame and embarrassment.
He's not that kind of guy.
No, he's not.
No, he shames and embarrasses, of course, yes.
And also if you want proof that the tape doesn't exist, a Billy Bush one got leaked from a bus.
Right, yeah, remember they're like, and this is just the beginning, we have Donald Trump saying the N-word, we have a montage of him saying it like 50 times.
Yeah, never.
Never.
Seems to me you would have led with that.
Yeah.
Unbelievably.
Instead, he's just trying to do what anybody else does.
Impress Billy Bush.
Yes!
I mean, Billy Bush, you get in there, it's always one-upmanship.
I know, you know how it is around Billy.
Yeah, it's just, I mean, the guy has a presence.
I see him and then afterwards I'm always like, what spell did, man, that guy's a charmer.
I can't believe I did that around Billy Bush again.
What is it that he, what hold does he have on me?
I wouldn't talk to women like that, but I want Billy to think I do.
It's like Prince in his eyes.
Billy Bush leaves no stone left unturned.
So here's my question.
If people who basically walked across the lawn on January 6th are guilty of treason and insurrection and sedition, how about falsely I don't want to say false, I'm being redundant.
How about fabricating a story about the incoming and then sitting president continuing this story about him being corrupt and also being a foreign entity, accusing the sitting president of treason, by the way, when you know it's false?
How about doing that to get him impeached and trying to have a democratically elected leader of the free world removed from office several times, based entirely on falsehoods?
That actually is textbook sedition, not showing up in face paint.
Right.
Also, lying about something like this for political benefit, obviously in the past people were like, oh that's fine, you make up stories.
No, no, no, no.
You were trying to get somebody to not be the President of the United States and then you wasted public money investigating your false claims that you let run.
Right.
I don't understand how Hillary Clinton, she's so good at getting away with these things.
She's like a super villain and we don't know.
But we know.
Yeah, but we know.
It's a problem!
I mean, when you say we know, you mean we don't know.
But we know.
No!
That's what I... We don't know.
We don't know, but we know.
We don't know, now you know.
But you don't know.
But we don't know.
The more you know.
You know?
You act like you know, but you don't know.
I just don't want to... The point is, okay, look, we're all trying to balance telling you the truth with not wanting to die.
See what we're doing?
That seems fair.
Yeah.
We're stuck between a rock and a Clinton place.
We're stuck between Little Rock In a hard place.
I feel Bill's just trying not to be murdered.
Yeah.
He's just keeping his head down.
Twice in the relationship, he's like, I'm really not doing this.
Yeah.
Gosh, I have two minds about Bill Clinton sometimes, where I'm like, eh, he's a piece of crap.
Then I go, oh wait, he probably raped Juanita Broderick, so he's a piece of crap.
But I don't really consider him what he did with Hillary.
It's not the same as a husband lying to his wife and cheating on her, because that was the arrangement.
Or she was like, just don't get caught.
So, is it wrong?
Sure.
But it was always a relationship based on a political power grab.
They never actually were a marriage, so it's not the same as actual philandering.
Anyway.
She has tree trunk ankles.
Yes, she does.
Fell on a governor.
Yeah, so she can suicide people with her legs.
That's just like at night.
At night, when she asks if you'll rub her feet, someone has to yell timber for the bitch.
Her legs kept me in this jail.
You just go in a wheelchair.
I don't know what they call them.
Wheelies Anonymous?
What happened to you?
Hillary Clinton's calves!
Oh boy.
What about you guys?
Same?
Same.
Another one?
No, I know it's ad hominem, but you know what, she tried to unseat a democratically elected president and still denies the lies and had people killed, so I'm okay with, you know, flicking a jab out there a little bit.
I mean she has a thick skin, a very thick skin, and she should be able to take it. Now...
I'm very excited for this. This is something so on, you know...
These packages take a long time to put together.
We send people on location.
I used to do all of them, and now I can't because I just get kicked out.
Because I know who I am.
I go in, and I'm undercover.
They say, no, you're not.
I say, well, how did you recognize me?
And they point to the poster.
They go, is that you?
I'm like, shoot.
Dang it.
It doesn't really work.
No, it doesn't really work.
We don't necessarily have Jim Henson on the payroll, so it's tough for me to get the disguise.
But we did send- If you did, you'd be wasting money because he's dead.
Well, he has a son, something, I don't know.
Oh, he does have a son.
Yeah, I don't know.
He does puppets.
Yeah, whoever, that pedophile who does the Elmo thing.
My point is, I can't afford the wardrobe and makeup.
Happy?
Does it make you feel- Does it make you- Do you feel good about yourself?
You feel good making me feel small, Dave?
I wasn't trying to make you feel small.
Okay, you did.
I was trying to get you to stop wasting your money writing checks to Jim Henson.
Right.
Well, it's not the alive Jim Henson, and there's a guy getting them and cashing them.
Well, Dave, shut up.
You're ruining my paycheck.
You go into the bank as just- You're all dressed in a felt.
I'm Jim.
Alright.
Yes, I'm Jim Henson.
Not that one.
I get that all the time.
Please cache this.
In a liquor store dressed as a puppet.
The dark Cristal.
Now, um, so let me just remind you in case you'd forgotten about this because now we went through the Uyghurs.
We covered a lot of ground on the FBI lying about Donald Trump and Russia.
So case you had forgotten, let me just refresh your memory of Beto O'Rourke being a really, really crappy representation of Francis's all over the country.
You're out of line and an embarrassment.
Sir, you're out of line.
Sir, you're out of line.
I like that guy.
Sir, you're out of line.
No, he needs to get his ass out of here. This isn't a place to talk to the soldiers.
Sir, you're out of line. Sir, you're out of line.
I like that guy.
Sir, you're out of line. Please leave this auditorium.
I don't know, but I'm voting for him.
I'm curious.
I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.
We wish you.
Yeah.
Yeah, you know, it's like the left just can't not trip over themselves.
At this point, you would think they'd have as much sort of political clout, sympathy from people across the country, and they always push a little too far.
And so people just watch it going, well, I kind of was going to support you, but you're such a dick.
Yeah.
So it's pretty clear that Beto Francis is getting, he's getting really desperate.
Yeah.
And here's the thing.
I also want to see the world through the eyes of, you know, worthy adversaries, political opposition, people who see the world differently than I do.
I wanted to know more about his granted failing campaign.
I couldn't go, so...
My team went down, a team of wonderful people here, to Livingston, Texas to check out one of Beto's town halls.
Beto, your presidential run was nice while it lasted, and so was this one now, the governor run.
All your runs, but I'm pretty sure this one's going to come to an end.
Enjoy.
Another election season is upon us, and that can mean only one thing.
I'm running for governor, and I want to tell you why.
The return of the most radical skateboard dude in the known universe.
Beto Francis.
Now after a failed run at the Senate and the Presidency, Beto is now setting his sights on becoming the next Governor of Texas.
Hell yes!
We're gonna take your AR-15, your AK-47.
And what better way to gin up enthusiasm than to head to... Livingston.
Now here's where I should say I have nothing against Livingston.
It's a nice town filled with friendly and welcoming people.
I'm sorry.
I'm not racist.
Well...
But I couldn't help wonder why Beto chose to hold one of his town halls here, especially since Donald Trump won the county by 54 points in 2020.
Now, I would have loved to investigate this matter myself, but considering that these
organizations now have my poster up on a wall, in my stead I decided to send a team of my
finest to see what Beto and the town were all about.
Now, the first thing they noted about the whole charade was the venue.
It was not exactly huge.
I mean, if I were to give a generous estimate, a very generous estimate, I'd place it at maybe about 110 people.
Now what the event lacked in attendance, however, it more than made up for with the kind of enthusiasm
which can only be found in the most youthful among us.
So are you excited about Bedo?
There was also a lot of electric energy from other people.
One lovely local summed it up quite succinctly.
Uh-uh.
No.
Beto ain't right.
Of course, it's rude to show up to a party empty-handed, so my fine reporters decided to hand out some Beto-themed t-shirts to show support.
Just go into the building and give them the merchandise.
That's great.
Thank you.
Yeah, of course.
Thank you.
Appreciate it.
I think they were a hit!
Unfortunately, Beto's staffers weren't so keen on the shirts being free while they were trying to turn a profit with theirs.
We don't want to cause any problems.
See, they've been giving out free ones, and we're trying to do that.
Pollution is not going to go to them.
Some people can't afford shirts, though.
That's true. I know what you're saying.
I know.
Really, before we have things that are going on here, we're responsible.
So you're trying to do a little bit of capitalism up in here.
Down with capitalism!
Generally, Peter, they're beta males, you know.
Like, they're not good.
But we think that's stupid, so we're trying to, like, subvert it, turn it on its head, be like, nah.
Beto's cool.
Yeah.
And so we're Beto males.
I don't know.
She got very mad.
What did she say to you?
It's not a Beto shirt or something like that.
It's not official.
But the team wasn't just there to observe.
We wanted them to get to the meat of Beto's policies.
Really get to know the man.
Luckily for them, Beto couldn't resist the pheromonal allure of our Beto's Bears.
So it sounds like you have such a great plan for schools and the trajectory there.
So that all that good work doesn't go undone, You know, obviously I want to be as inclusive as possible.
But even last night when we were at dinner, somebody offered us drugs.
And so I'd like to just hear how do you thread that needle of inclusivity, being welcoming, while also stopping some fentanyl?
I don't know.
I'd like to hear if you have thoughts on that.
I really appreciate the question.
There's probably nothing more important than the safety and security of our communities, of our families, especially of our kids and our grandkids.
We see under Abbott's failed leadership, violent crime going up, drug trafficking going up.
When we're focused on pulling stunts.
I can't believe you're a sick son of a bitch that would come to a deal like this to make a political issue.
and score on political points, we take our eye off the ball and the real problem, where it is.
I'll give you some examples.
🎵 Remember when he said...
And he signed the abortion ban.
Where's this going?
Governor, you understand there's no exception for incest.
How did we get here?
And like a deer caught in the headlights, he said, we're going to eliminate rape.
When I'm governor, we're going to focus on that and public safety is going to improve
in the state of Texas.
Thanks for asking the question.
Appreciate it.
Oh, that was a lot of nothing.
Quite a bit of talking, a lot of nothing.
Let's give it one more shot.
Hello.
Hello.
How are you doing?
Very good.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
I'm Ruben Perez.
We're both Catholic, right?
Yes.
Okay.
I'm having an issue real fast with my family.
I think you're great.
I want them to vote for you, but they have the sticking point with the pro-choice thing.
You know, we're both pro-choice.
They're not.
What do you think I can tell them to maybe help persuade them to vote for you?
I don't know anyone who is pro-choice or pro-life who is happy with what we're doing in Texas right now.
Ah, s***!
Oh, sh**. Here we go again.
Maybe if he can bore his audience to actual death, he can guarantee their vote the next election.
Beto's playing 8-D chess.
Speaking of death, Beto, it should be noted that we aren't your biggest fans, no surprise, but we do want you to be safe, so maybe invest in a better security team that doesn't allow random passers-by and camera people to walk up directly behind you and follow you backstage.
Especially if the person in question is a grown man with pigtails and a t-shirt that simply reads, autism.
Alright, that's enough.
What do the good townspeople of Livingston, Texas think of all this?
Do you think the personality of the candidate matters pretty dramatically?
Definitely, more than any issue.
In my book, if you can answer the questions that are asked of you, and if you don't know the answer, at least say, you know, I'm not sure on it.
That's what impresses me about them.
That's how it works.
I had three Biden signs, big ones, stolen off my property.
And I was more than willing to sit around and wait for them to show back up.
And do what?
So, are you excited about Beto?
Oh yeah, yeah.
What do you think he can do for the state?
Well, we were just talking about her son, who is a lot younger.
I was talking about, well, where's this big money coming from?
They all get big money.
Right.
And I'm more concerned about where the heart of the person that's getting that money is to begin with.
That sign's f***ing amazing.
Did you get this sign?
What's more important to you?
The policy or the personality?
I would say policy.
I think, like, freedom of speech, pro-guns, pro-life, closed border.
Things that actually affect you.
We've been asking the same question to everybody we've interviewed, so I'm very curious what your opinion is.
When it comes to a political candidate, which is more important?
The personality or the policies of that candidate?
That's a good question.
I think they're both equally important.
You look at Trump, you know, look what he did in four years and they screwed with him the entire time.
Because of his personality and because of his policies.
You know, if they'd left him alone, we would have been a lot better off further along than we are right now.
So, I'd have to say both, honestly.
Hold on, so one group cares about policies, while the other cares about personality and feelings?
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise.
I have a question, though.
So, like, I know somebody that is here, maybe not...
procedure that's very difficult. Mr. Abbott has made it very difficult to do that.
How, what can happen? Like, I don't know how to ask the question. I don't want to use the words.
It's an, you'd be in very big trouble under Mr. Abbott if you were going to seek out that procedure.
Yeah. Listen, I'd be happy to take a picture with you.
And while Beto Francis was understandably hesitant to answer my team's questions,
credit where it's due, he was still gracious enough to take the time for a picture with his new Beto male bros.
That's right.
Look at this picture.
This happened.
So remember, when you think of Beto for governor, just think of this exact picture.
I'm sorry.
I'm not racist.
I'll take that back.
Yes, I am racist.
I like NASCAR more than I do Indianapolis cars.
That's funny.
Whoa!
Geez.
That was hilarious.
I really like that.
I love that.
Um, Steven had to go take an ample dumpling, gang.
Ample dumpling?
Drop the kids off at the pool?
Yes, that's what they say.
