This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian, so Saturday, right before
Army beat Navy 15 O0. I had a
chance to catch up to the
President of the United States,
thanks to Kayleigh Mcenany and
the White House staff said okay
lets. Do it
first interview on camera since
November 3rd, the election,
we discuss everything from the
vaccine rollout to his campaign
legal challenges to all of a
sudden. The proof that Hunter
Biden was indeed being
investigated.
Watch
so lets look at this and
play this out
continued to not have success in
the courts
and the six to get certified and
transmitted, and Vice President
MIKE Pence certifies it would
you encourage the republican
lawmakers to stand up and
protest since then?
Look I just left Washington
to go to the Army Navy game.
There are thousands and
thousands of people out there.
I didnt have anything to do
with it.
I didnt know they were forming
Brian talking about
congressional leaders,
im just saying
the Spirit, the liveliness the
whole thing, even the
fundraising and money thats
pouring in to fight this its
one thing to say you know you
ran a great race.
Congratulations, im! Okay with
that,
but they didnt
they didnt run a good race.
They ran a horrible race from
the basement.
They ran a race where he didnt
even run,
but what they did is they
cheated
they cheated like nobody has
ever cheated before that we know
of
now. If you look at it its not
even four or five states, its
five cities, Milwaukee Right
Detroit,
Philadelphia, Atlanta,
take Pittsburgh, you could add
so its five cities,
its four cities and even three
cities. Five, just one. Second,
they cheated like nobody has
ever cheated before
and they got caught
just like the spying on my
campaign got caught.
They cheated like nobody has
cheated before and they got
caught.
So nobody can go in and say. Oh,
congratulations on running a
good race.
They didnt run a good race.
They cheated.
They dropped hundreds of
thousands of ballots
right
and we caught them,
but your guys have been unable
to prove it. As of now.
Excuse me, excuse me: we have
proven it, but no judge has had
the courage,
including the Supreme Court.
I am so disappointed in them.
No judge, including the Supreme
Court of the United States, has
had the courage to allow it to
be heard
the Supreme Court- all they did
was say we dont have standing.
So they are saying essentially
that the President of the United
States and Texas and these other
states great states they dont-
have standing.
They didnt go into the
evidence.
If you would look at the
evidence, thousands of pages of
evidence, we have over one thousand
affidavits from people that saw
tens of thousands of ballots,
Brian Gotcha,
no,
but Heres the point.
They are winning these things on
little technicalities like a
thing called standing.
They are saying the President of
the United States does not have
standing
Brian right. That was what was
decided last night.
Would you show up at the
inauguration?
Would you
I dont want to talk about
that?
I want to talk about this.
We have done a great job.
I got more votes than any
president in the history of our
country and the history of our
country right,
not even close. Seventy five million
far more than Obama,
far more than anybody
and they say we lost an
election.
We didnt lose it.
If I got ten million fewer votes,
they said I couldnt have lost
just so. You understand in a
sense its a modern day. Version
of stuffing the ballot box.
Brian also been historic week
number one. The vaccine is going
to start rolling.
What is going to be going
through your mind as Fedex?
U DOT, PS knows flights go to all
fifty states, vaccine rolling
in whats, going to be going
through your mind
if I wasnt president,
according to almost everyone,
even the enemy,
if I wasnt president, you
wouldnt have a vaccine for five
years.
I pushed the FDA and companies
and everybody else involved like
nobody has ever been pushed
before,
and now you have it rolling out
and frankly, they could have done
it last week or even done it a
week sooner they heard from me.
This has been a great, really
medical. They call it a medical
miracle
and its going to have a
tremendous impact.
Ninety five percent effective
Moderna coming out next week.
Thats soon
we have Johnson and Johnson
one shot vaccine coming out
all great companies
Brian. What about an aid package
for the american people? What
could you do to get the
nine hundred billion out?
I want to do it
im, pushing it very hard and to
be honest with you. If the
Democrats really wanted to do
the deal, they would do the deal.
They should do. Do it right now.
I want to see checks going for
more money. They are talking
about going to people.
Brian Hunter Biden this week
has confirmed two investigations
on him.
One on Jim Biden
Word is: you are disappointed
that William Barr knew about
this.
Well, everybody is
who isnt disappointed.
Joe Biden lied on the debate
stage.
He said there is nothing
happening, nothing happening
and Bill Barr should have
stepped up.
I will tell you what say what
you want about Robert Mueller,
when Buzzfeed put out a phoney
article. I think it was Buzzfeed,
but when Buzzfeed put out a
fonel article,
he stepped out and said that
article was a phony, ultimately
proven no collusion
after two years, no collusion,
but Bob Mueller stood up and he
interjected that this article
was false.
Bill Barr should have done the
same thing.
Brian Jonathan Turley said he
had no choice that he would have
been like. It would have been
like James Comey. Again,
all he had to do was say an
investigation is going on
by the way I dont want to see
anything bad happen to Hunter
Biden
whatever it is. It is the fact
I dont want to see anything
happen to Hunter Biden.
I purposefully stay out of it
when you affect an election
bill. Barr frankly did the
wrong thick
when they are saying things
making statements and the press
is purposefully, not reporting
it
bill. Barr, I believe not
believe I know, had an
obligation to set the record
straight.
Just like Robert Mueller set the
record straight,
you know he set it straight.
A very bad thing was said, and it
was a false article,
a false statement which you
know. Usually they are with the
media.
This was a false statement and
Robert Mueller stood up and he
said that is a false statement,
and that was a great thing. I
have got to go.
Brian go get them
Steve. I have got to go,
bring in Ben Domenech,
publisher of the Federalist.
The president is not done
fighting today at noon. They are
going to certify the electoral
college.
It looks like Rudy Giuliani is
going to go to some individual
states again
whats your reaction to where we
are at right now,
well, where we are at right
now, frankly, brian- and I think
that was really the concise and
very good interview on your
part.
You got so much out of the
president in a very short amount
of time.
I think that in this situation
the presidents options are
really running out.
Electors are going to vote.
You have this point in time
where things are decided.
I mean yesterday was the
anniversary
twenty years ago, of Al Gore
conceding the election in the
two thousand fight,
and this is that point in
December, where the formal things
start to happen,
and I think the presidents
options you know after this
point are really going to be
very limited
at the same time, theres a lot
of justified things that he said
in there about the way that the
votes happened in these various
cities.
My real concern is that going
forward, we dont have the
mechanisms in place to look into
this, to find out what happened
and to the degree that there was
either fraud or things happening.
That shouldnt have happened,
that we can prevent them in the
future. I think that really this
election, looking back on it,
was lost at the point where
republican lawyers were not
there on the ground, preventing
the kind of policies being put
in place. That allowed this to
happen,
you have to remember what
happened in Pennsylvania was
bipartisan when it came to
mail in balloting and the like.
This was something that
Republicans went along with,
where in retrospect they look
back and they have to feel
pretty foolish to look at the
policies that they put in place
and what they allowed to happen
Steve exactly
now, it seems like given the fact
that, as Brian pointed out, the
electoral college meets today at
noon.
So thats pretty much. Is
the Wall Street Journal their
lead editorial now, and you know,
the Wall Street Journal has
been a big supporter of the
president throughout his
presidency. Says trumps
challenge is over after losing
at the Supreme Court. He has no
legal alternatives and ought to
concede.
We heard from Brian. You know
he has still got more legal
options.
You know there are legal
options outs there, but they are
really not going to change the
result here
and the Wall Street Journal is
correct in the sense that I
think the president should
acknowledge and concede this
election.
At the same time, I dont think
that he has to pretend that this
was an election that was done on
fair terms.
We are talking about. You know
the same conversation that dealt
with the fact that we have. You
know proof now of the massive
media and big tech conspiracy,
the collusion that they engaged
in in order to prevent the
american people from knowing
about something that was true,
falsely tagging it as russian
disinformation
misinformation and the like
banning people suspending
people for sharing this New
York Post story that has been
you know, if not fully verified
something that is clearly not
russian disinformation
misinformation that we know now
that there are multiple
investigations into Hunter Biden
into Jim Biden about money
laundering and the like. That
certainly should have been
something that the american
people were allowed to know
about and share in advance of
this election
Ainsley. Oh yeah,
you know a lot of people agree
with you on that, because they
protect certain people,
the press does
and then they go after. Anyone
who is conservative or they
disagree with
the media- has gone so far to the
left. Mainstream media. Look at
some of these headlines when it
comes to Hunter Biden.
Politico Hunter Bidens story
is russian disinformation.
Dozens of former Intel officials
say
the Washington post. This is
an op ed, the truth. Behind the
Hunter Biden Non scandal,
the New York Times Trump said
to be warned that Giuliani was
conveying russian
disinformation.
What is your reaction to that?
You are in the media.
You are a publisher of the
federalist,
huge job.
My reaction to that is that
there should absolutely be
consequences,
and the corporate media
generally will not allow for
there to be consequences for
these intel officials, people
who previously led the most
powerful intelligence agency in
the world, the CIA, who all
signed on to this ridiculous
letter, claiming that this was
russian misinformation without a
scintilla of evidence,
not one peels of evidence.
Yet John Brennan, MIKE Mcfaul
and many other major media
figures paid tons of money by
other cable news stations to go
on and be experts.
They all came out and said this
is russian misinformation,
disinformation
implying its trade traitor ous?
They were lying to you.
Something people should be aware
of.
Shouldnt be a part of this.
The next time they come to you
with some kind of claim, just as
they did on russian collusion,
just as they did this time
around, you should not believe
them.
You should believe that theyre
lying because they have done it
so consistently
and frankly, im disgusted by it.
I cannot believe we have reached
a point where the media is
willing to bend over backwards
to these intel experts, who have
lied to them repeatedly and
pretend like what they are
saying, is true to serve a
partisan narrative, which is
exactly what went on in this
situation.
Brian, the Federalist covered
this too, they are actually
covering the story we did two
months ago as if its new,
this is, they are actually
pretending its. These are new
revelations that were on the
emails and text messages and
Bobulinski story came out,
unbelievable
Ainsley. Well, the election is.
