this program is brought to you by progressive comparing more mixed
messaging from the radical dims Nancy Pelosi telling The Associated Press
today that impeaching President Trump is not a priority of her party that hasn't
stopped billionaire Tom Steyer from launching a media blitz about impeaching
the president Texas congressman Al Green also tweeting this morning about the
Constitution providing impeachment as a tool and in a statement today not to be
outdone good old Jerry Nadler says that Michael Cohen's guilty plea for campaign
finance violations directly implicates the president of a criminal conspiracy
really Jerry what crime in that conspiracy point to me a statute in the
criminal codes joining me now is Chris Farrell director of investigations and
research for Judicial Watch and I mean Chris it's not just Jerry Nadler but
today every time Lenny Davis opened his mouth he proved how
little he knows about the law he declared and pronounced the president
guilty of a crime without ever identifying a crime what do you make of
this well viewer warning ignore Lanny Davis period yeah I yet to see truth
come out of his mouth not for 20 years but you back up 20 years ago he was
lying and spinning about his former employer the Clintons
and frankly if you applied the Lanny Davis formula to the Clintons they would
be serving out their life sentences together in prison right now
so Lanny Davis is to be ignored gleefully and look the rest of the
hysteria they've been calling for impeachment since election night all
right this is there's no there's no nothing new here what's I think more
interesting with respect to the difference between the legal standard
and the political standard is that impeachment is a political process not a
legal process and so should the leadership change hands in the house
come November you will see 24/7 365 impeachment
hysteria and nothing but that but you know if you look at article 2 section 4
of the Constitution it's fairly broad gives a lot of latitude and discretion
but it does state it has to be for treason bribes high crimes and
misdemeanors well I I'm not even seeing a little piddly misdemeanor that would
be the equivalent of a jaywalking infraction right and while being tell
mr. Cohen that right so here's the problem when the full weight and force
of the Department of Justice and the FBI is targeted on you and you're under
there under the crosshairs they are right look they will do anything I'm not
overstating this the Department of Justice and the FBI will do anything to
get a conviction and so Cohen is Exhibit A all you have to do is the sort of
lanny davis magical transference of guilt by association and they have the
excuse they need to gin up the hysteria machine this is very grave stuff this is
a very serious you know in facts don't matter no it doesn't because because
overzealous prosecutors have no qualms about getting an accused to lie on their
behalf it's extortion it's bribery and sad to say as a lawyer myself I I hate
to see it happen but it happens all too often microstereo is they say we got 55
charges against you mr. Cohen you're gonna spend the rest of your life behind
bars you'll never see your wife and kids again but if you sign this paper
implicating the president in a non crime and will pretend it's a crime I will
give you three to five years and so you know Cohen didn't have the integrity or
the courage to actually do what was right and you know of course he's a con
man and a prodigious liar yeah and and it goes downhill from there because
they're gonna continue to apply pressure and they're going to try to embroider
and expand upon what he's already pled out to to the point where
it's unrecognizable what would normally be a fine I'll give you an example
Bill Clinton very famously wrote in the margin of a campaign memo from the
Democrats the text said hey we got to put aside a million dollars to pay FEC
fines and Clinton wrote in his own handwriting ugh ugh it was there was
foreknowledge that they were going to break campaign finance laws and they had
to put aside a million dollars cash and an account just to pay the fines right
all this transpired what were the consequences zero zero and of course
Barack Obama received two million in illegal donations just before the 2008
election had to pay a record I think three hundred seventy five thousand
dollars in fines for that but it's like a parking ticket yeah and the media
never accused him of crimes but Donald Trump's so much as sneezes or coughs and
and he is a violent criminal of some sort different president different
standards Chris Farrell always great to see it thanks very much thanks Greg be

Cohen guilty pleas would have ever occurred if the special counsel weren't

we're not gonna let it rob a city China responding to the president's call
for fair trade by threatening the United States will talk about it with Gordon
Chang coming up next welcome back everyone I'm Greg Gard filling in for
lou dobbs chinese state media mocking president Trump over the u.s. trade
dispute with China in an english-language video an anchor thanks
president Trump for pointing out the need to wean off American goods like
bourbon and bacon and the video has since been removed from the network's
official YouTube and Twitter accounts well joining me now to talk about this
and a whole lot more Gordon Chang who is author of the coming collapse of China
Gordon great see it well thank you so much and you know the only reason why I
came here today was to get your autograph on my copy of your book well
I'll get yours on your book let's put it up on the screen number one New York
Times bestseller for three straight weeks the Russia hoax the illicit scheme
to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump you can get it in
bookstores nationwide and I'm gonna have to get a copy of yours assuming it's
sign I want to ask you about this report from the Department of Defense that
China is training its military for strikes against the US well the Chinese
have been configuring their military to hit us and this is for decades but
they're not only just trying to configure their military or practice
these strikes from the US they're actually attacking American planes in
the beginning of May we learned that the Chinese lasered an American cargo plane
near Djibouti Horn of Africa they blinded two pilots now if you try to
blind the pilots of a plane we have to assume you're trying to bring it down
now for what purpose would they do that they want to drive us from the region
they want to drive us from the region later a lot of these laser attacks in
the South China Sea and East China Sea close to their Shores and they think
that this and other things that they've been doing like harassing Navy ships is
well sort of break our will and eventually force us to leave I think it
actually does the opposite it makes us more resolved to make sure that we
defend the international system and defend the global Commons there is an
obsession in America currently that you know Russia Russia Russia Russia
meddling in the election but there are other players as well yeah john bolton
the national security adviser talked about China Iran and North Korea the
Chinese I spend an enormous amount of money trying to change the perceptions
of Americans about China they may be interfering in direct elections but
mostly what this is is just trying to change perceptions so we have Confucius
Institutes on college campuses Confucius classrooms and secondary schools the
billboards in Times Square enormous expenditures where we see with
regard to think tanks so this is a much more broad-based effort than the
Russians and it really actually makes the Russian effort look puny and Iran in
North Korea also doing similar things to a lesser extent you know obviously
they've got a very different agenda than the two big powers China and Russia and
they don't have the resources but you know we saw this with the North Koreans
the hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2004 cheering what they were trying
to do when they were very explicit was to make sure Americans did not go to see
that movie the interview and you know we can say the efforts misguided but the
point is you know the North Koreans with Chinese help with launch those
cyberattacks against the United States exfiltrated hundreds of terabytes of
data out of Sony and crippled the company for a little while
it's amazing what you said a moment ago that the Chinese and the amount they
invest in Medellin in the u.s. dwarfs with the Russians and yet we're so
obsessed with the Russians at the very beginning as I was introducing you I
mentioned this unit the Chinese state broadcaster is sort of mocking the
president yeah this is really unprecedented you know the Chinese have
sort of tried to not do that and the reason is that you
when if you go back a year two years ago Chinese leaders were very confident that
they could control chump it didn't work out we saw this with the tariffs and
other means that the president's been using to undermine the Chinese and what
they're doing in terms of predatory attacks on us and so right now I think
the Chinese political system is in a little bit of disarray so they've been
backing away from Trump this was unusual and this actually very well may be a
sign that they have changed their minds look we're trying to stop their theft of
US intellectual property we're trying to do all sorts of things that the Chinese
stop them from doing all sorts of things that they shouldn't be doing and now the
Chinese are actually starting to think no they're actually gonna go forward
with this stuff all right Gordon Chang and the name of your
upcoming book is no upcoming book I just wanted your autograph okay Gordon Shan
thanks very much coming up next President Trump weighs in tonight on the
deaths of Molly Tibbets a person came in from Mexico illegally and killed her we
need the wall we need our immigration laws change we need our border laws
change we need Republicans to do it because the Democrats aren't going to do
it we'll have the latest in the case with Michelle Malkin when we come back
dunk away
