This is a time for people who love our country, love our representative
democracy, respect our constitution to take a breath, realize we've
been through worse than this before and we will get this through this again.
But when we get power back, it's time to hold everyone accountable.
The military leadership, the civilian leadership, the civil surface, those in
Congress who have abused their power, all of them have to be held accountable.
All of them.
It can't be this nice guy routine where let's be friends.
>> There's a couple of things I love about this, one,
the idea that up until this point the right has been the nice guy.
It's interesting.
I must have dozed off there for a bit and missed something.
The other is everyone calm down.
We've been through worse.
We'll get through this.
I heard her say that and I thought, wow, this is the most calm and rational and
lucid Laura Ingraham has been for some time, but
she immediately transitioned to and there was no cut.
It was from one to the next.
And then when we get in power, we're clearing out the generals,
we're clearing out the DOJ, the FBI, the civilian leadership and
members of Congress, we're coming for you, we're coming for all of you.
The com only lasted a couple of seconds, David.
>> Well, I wonder, I mean, who's Laura Ingraham talking about who's gonna hold
these people to account, is it a republican administration?
The Bachelor really would have a palace coup underway by republicans or
is she speaking more broad terms so that when Donald Trump if he does get indicted,
she can say, I wasn't saying to get rid of everybody.
I was promoting accountability for everybody.
And of course the president should be accountable and his chief of staff and
his lawyers and the people who are in charge these militia groups,
everybody should be held accountable.
I was telling everybody to calm down.
I mean it's almost sort of ingenious the way Laura Ingraham is trying to sort of
have it both ways both to sort of wait and see where this goes because she knows how
the department of Justice operates and what this all means.
And at the same time she's trying to fire up her audience and
make her audience think that she is on their side and
is just as outraged as Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson.
>> Yeah and and it also like it's also consistent with what has been leaked
recently about what Trump plans to do in his second term.
Which is just clear out anyone who's disloyal that's Laura Ingram is a fan of
that she wants everyone to be ready.
I don't think her base would ever have a problem with Trump firing whoever
he wants.
But in theory were he to get elected and it turns out he fires 30% of
the bureaucracy specifically to purge anyone who might leak something.
I don't know, some people might be bothered by that.
So they're doing a little bit of work ahead of time to get people used to
the idea that that might happen.
The fact that the we need to do something with the military leadership quote is
coming out like one day after one of these books asserted that trump told,
I think it was Millie, like why can't the generals be loyal like the German ones?
And when Millie was like, which he was like the ones under Hitler,
okay, maybe back off of the let's purge the military thing when we're
talking about his recent coup attempt >> It's not for everyone who thinks, okay,
we can just go ahead and get rid of all the generals or 30% of the bureaucracy,
it's actually not that easy to do.
Yes, there's a certain number of political appointments that you get to make.
But in terms of the establishment bureaucracy, then you have to go through
Congress in terms of cutting their funds and we shaping what these agencies do.
You as an administration cannot simply say,
get rid of every senior management level at the Department of Education.
It doesn't work that way.
I mean, it sounds great, I suppose if you're on the right in your lunatic, but
in practice, it can't happen that way >> I just wanna just briefly like he gets
rated and immediately every opportunistic contrarian or whatever is like,
well this is you guys said you didn't like when they would chant lock him up.
It's the same thing and like I would argue are some of the people who are super
thrilled about this on social media basically the same that they just want to
see people that disagree with locked up.
I think there are certainly people like that on social media.
Social media is a hellscape.
That said, believing that everyone you disagree with
should be locked up for reasons, is not the same as.
I think that even politicians, even the rich and
powerful should be investigated if there's good evidence that they committed crimes,
some of which were totally in plain view.
I don't think that that's the exact same thing and I don't think that you get to
spend years calling for all of your opponents to be locked up and
then when an investigation happens imply that that is the apocalypse.
That's the end of all things.
That is what you've been calling for.
The disagreement is over what the threshold of evidence should be.
I don't think we should willy nilly be locking up politicians, but
sometimes they commit crimes.
Some times they're corrupt.
Sometimes they accept bribes.
Sometimes they do bad things and the idea that simply because they're popular or
wealthy or because they might run again, they should be free of any consequences.
Maybe that is kind of how America has run up until this point, but
I don't think that's a good thing and I think it should be changed.
Yeah, I know there should be equal justice for everybody.
And the fact of the matter is I would agree with certain people on the right who
say we should investigate everybody.
Yeah, let's do that.
I mean, I fall short of saying lock them up, but let's go ahead and
expand the investigations into cabinet secretaries into members of Congress,
members of the Senate, and let's look get the corruption that causes them to take
money from fossil fuels and then vote a certain way.
Let's put all of that out there.
Let's have deep investigations into everybody and
determine what's criminal and what's not, I'm fine with that.
But I think the problem is when people on the right say, well,
let's forget about the investigation.
Let's just throw people in jail >> Exactly,
which many of them would be perfectly happy to do.
