>>> DURING THAT ELECTION, DONALD
TRUMP TOLD US HE COULD SHOOT
SOMEBODY ON FIFTH AVENUE AND GET
AWAY WITH IT AND HE HAS
CONSISTENTLY SINCE HE WON BEEN
SELLING OUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
HE'S BEEN SELLING OUT WORKING
PEOPLE.
HE'S BEEN SELLING OUT OUR L
VALUES.
HE'S BEEN SELLING OUT NATIONAL
SECURITY.
ON THIS ISSUE WITH UKRAINE, HE'S
BEEN SELLING OUT OUR DEMOCRACY.
PAUL: CALIFORNIA SENATOR KAMALA
HARRIS AT THIS WEEK'S DEBATE
SOUNDING A FAMILIAR REFRAIN FROM
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S OPPONENTS THAT
HE'S A THREAT TO AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY.
IN HER NEW BOOK, KIM STRASSEL
ARGUES THAT SOME OF THE
PRESIDENT'S HARSHEST CRITICS
PRESENT A THREAT OF THEIR OWN AS
THE SO-CALLED RESISTANCE
VIOLATES NORMS, DUE PROCESS AND
THE RULE OF LAW IN THEIR AA
TEMPT TO TAKE HIM DOWN.
KIM IS THE AUTHOR OF RESISTANCE
AT ALL COSTS WHICH IS OUT THIS
WEEK.
KIM, WHAT'S THE CENTRAL ARGUMENT
OF YOUR BOOK.
>> CENTRAL ARGUMENT, MUCH LIKE
YOU JUST SAID IS THAT EVER SINCE
DONALD TRUMP WAS ELECTED WE'VE
HAD THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE THAT
UTTERLY REJECTS THE NOTION THAT
DONALD TRUMP IS A LEGITIMATE
PRESIDENT.
THEY THINK HE'S AN OBJECTING
PIER
OCER
OCCUPIER OFTHIS OFFICE AND THEYB
OCCUPIER OFTHIS OFFICE AND THEYL
OCCUPIER OFTHIS OFFICE AND THEYE
BECAUSE HE'S THIS THREAT TO THE
COUNTRY THAT THEY THEMSELVES ARE
ALLOWED TO CROSS POLITICAL
BOUNDARIES AND BREAK CERTAIN
STANDARDS IN THEIR EFFORT TO
OPEN POSE
OPPO POSE
OPPOSEOSE
OPPOSE HE
OPPOSE HIM AND RESIST HIM.
WE'VE SEEN IT IN AN ARRAY OF
THINGS BUT IT'S DOING LONG-TERM
DAMAGE TO THE COUNTRY.
PAUL: GIVE ME SOME EXAMPLES.
>> GREAT EXAMPLE, THE LACK OF
FAITH RIGHT NOW IN THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE
FBI AND I CITE POLLS IN THE
BOOK, POINTING OUTS THERE
BOOK, POINTING OUT TTHERE
BOOK, POINTING OUT THEERE
BOOK, POINTING OUT THEREE
BOOK, POINTING OUT THERE ARE
HUGE NUMBERS OF AMERICANS THAT
NO LONGER TRUST THE FBI TO DO
THE RIGHT THING.
PAUL: THIS GOES BACK TO THE
2016 CAMPAIGN ATTEMPT AND WE
THINK THERE WAS MISUSE OF THE
FISA COURT FOR EXAMPLE TO
INVESTIGATE THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN.
>> DIRECTLY RELATED TO JIM
COMEY, THE DECISION TO LAUNCH A
COUNTER INTELLIGENCE
INVESTIGATION INTO A SITTING
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN.
THAT ALONE INSPIRED A LOT OF
AMERICANS TO -- FORGET WHETHER
OR NOT -- WHAT KIND OF ABUSE OF
THE PRESIDENT, JUST THAT.
ALSO TAKE OUR SENATE
CONFIRMATION PROCESS IN THE WAKE
OF BRETT KAVANAUGH.
YOU'VE WATCHED WASHINGTON AS
LONG AS I HAVE --
PAUL: LONGER.
>> WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
HOUR MOST RECENTLY, WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT THIS EARLIER IN
THE SHOW, THIS POTENTIAL THAT
YOU'RE NOW USING IMPEACHMENT AS
A PARTISAN POLITICAL TOOL.
I KEEP TELLING MY FRIENDS ON THE
LEFT, LET'S SAY JOE BIDEN WINS
THE ELECTION NEXT YEAR BUT
REPUBLICANS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE.
DO WE REALLY WANT AN ENVIRONMENT
WHERE THE FIRST THING THEY DO IS
LAUNCH ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT?
PAUL: NOW, YOU KNOW, YOU I
COVERED THE BOARD HEARINGS WAY
BACK WHEN SO THESE SUPREME COURT
FIGHTS HAVE BEEN HORRIBLE FOR A
LONG TIME.
>> OH, YEAH, THEY'RE NASTY.
PAUL: HOW MUCH OF THIS HE
PREDATES TRUMP?
I REMEMBER A LOT OF DEMOCRATS
SAYING GEORGE W. BUSH WASN'T
LEGITIMATE BECAUSE OF THE AL
GORE FIGHTS AND HOW MUCH OF THIS
IS ACTUALLY UNIQUE TO TRUMP?
>> WELL, I THINK YOU HAVE TO SAY
SOME OF IT'S UNIQUE TO TRUMP.
OBVIOUSLY WE'VE ALWAYS HAD
PHYSICIAN AT
FIYSICIAN AT
FISTICIAN AT
FISTICUFN AT
FISTICUFFSAT
FISTICUFFS IN WASH A TON.
WASHINGTON.
HAVE WE EVER HAD A SITUATION
WHERE THE FEDERAL DEMOCRACY IS
LEAKING INFORMATION ON A DAILY
BASIS.
PAUL: DO YOU THINK THAT'S
HAPPENED TO A GREATER DEGREE
REGARDING TRUMP.
>> I DON'T THINK THERE WAS ANY
HE QUESTION.
DO YOU THINK WATCHING KAVANAUGH
WAS EQUIVALENT TO CLARENCE
THOMAS.
PAUL: THE THOMAS THING WAS
REALLY VICIOUS.
>> ONE OF THE THINGS I TALKED
ABOUT IS STANDARDS AND PROTOCOLS
OR REGULATION THAT'S ARE
VIOLATED TO LAY THEM OUT.
WHEN HAVE YOU THE MINORITY
MEMBER OF THE SENATE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE WITHHOLDING THIS
INFORMATION UNTIL AFTER THE
NOMINEE IS COMPLETED -- HAS
COMPLETED THEIR HEARINGS, WHEN
YOU HAVE MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE SAYING THEY'RE GOING
TO RELEASE CONFIDENTIAL
SENSITIVE COMMITTEE INFORMATION
IN VIOLATION OF THE RULES
BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO DO IT TO
STOP DONALD TRUMP AND THIS
NOMINEE, WHEN YOU HAVE LIBERAL
SENATORS DEPUTIZING THE FBI TO
PASS JUDGMENT.
