would have said so. We did, not, however, make a determination as to whether the president did commit a crime. All right, So there we are, and that was the that's the conversation point all day long yesterday and maybe for the next several months. If they go forward with impeachment, and if they do go and perform with impeachment, this man will be involved. Indeed, Congressman Tom mc clintock represents
the fourth District of California and joins US. Now he has accused Robert Mueller of pedofog y. Good lord, now that's an accusation, Tom, going back to your old timey accusations. There huh, Well, google it and you'll find that that that it is a word that perfectly fits Robert Mueller of a pedofogers, a lawyer whose methods are petty, underhanded, or disreputable, and one who's given to quibbling over trifles. And that is Robert Mueller to a t. So why
don't we start with the clip we just played. I found it curious and perhaps I misunderstand his role in what the statute says, but that somebody would say we were not able to clear him of a crime. Prosecutors don't exonerate people. Prosecutors don't clear you of a crime. You are already cleared of a crime. That's the presumption of innocence. He even mentioned that in his statement. Then
he went right around and contradicted himself. A prosecutor's role is to determine if a case can be made for prosecution. We gave that man twenty five million dollars and twenty two months to make a case for that the president colluded with the Russians. That was the great lie we've been force fed for two and a half years now, or or to to make the case that he could be prosecuted for obstruction of of an investigation that discovered no crime. Uh, and he could not make that case.
He did not make that case. And now he wants to have his cake and eat it too. And and you know, hiding behind this guideline that a sitting president cannot be uh indicted, Well that is Horseman, or any president can be indicted after he leaves office. It was Mueller's responsibility to make that case if he could, and
he didn't because he couldn't. Do you think the speaker of your House of Representatives is going to move forward with impeachment proceedings or they've been planning that from day one? In fact, Also, here's another thing you can google. Uh. We saw the first calls for impeachment of Donald Trump the week after the election. That was two months before he was sworn in. They were already talking about impeaching him. So yeah, this has been the game plan from before
day one. Yeah. But I don't think it's Nancy Pelosi's game plan, Tom. I mean, she knows it's political suicide. Am I wrong on that? I think she's being pushed by her her conference. And you know, I also really wonder if that's her true position of I think that that is her public position. She she wants to be dragged into an impeachment of not leading into an impeachment.
That's kind of interesting because Newton was c greg Speaker of the House at the time of the Clinton impeachment, was seen as leading it and was was proud to lead it, and UH and most pundits seemed to feel like that didn't work out politically for Republicans. So you think Nancy wants to be seen as being drug into it. I I can't read minds. I I certainly wouldn't read
her mind if I could read mind. But I'll tell you this, the other shoes about to drop in this and that if she is genuinely hesitant, UH, it may
be because she knows what is coming next. What's coming next is the Inspector General's report over the origins of this phony Steel Dothier that gave rise to this entire monstrous lie that the president was a trader colluding with a hostile foreign government of a special Council has already been appointed and is investigating the misconduct of the highest ranking officers in our intelligence agencies UH, in the FBI and the Justice Department UH and the Senate Judiciary Committee,
which is headed by Lindsey Graham, is now looking at this very carefully. So my guess is that maybe they're looking down the road a little ways and realizing this thing could go south on us very quickly, and I think it will. Congressman Tom McClintock was one of only two perfect ratings by citizens against Government Waste, by the way for fighting wasteful government spending. That's why he's long been a friend of the Armstrong and Getty show. Listen,
you made it clear you don't read minds. Maybe your psychic he can predict the future. Do you think the the the Molar speech yesterday will change the polls about how Americans feel about impeachment at all, because currently it's not even close. Most people don't want to, including Democrats. Uh. The polls have been very stable over this for a very long period of time, so including on the release of the Dacton report. Yeah, I mean, I I can't.
I can't tell the future, but I can I can tell the past, and and the past is that the poll has been very stable on this. You know, Trump is a you know, let's face it, as a doesn't exactly have the sunny disposition of Ronald Reagan and whether you either love him or you hate him, and and it appears to be that's a very very stable and enduring emotion, no kidding, very good point or or as is increasingly well, not increasingly, but very popular among many
of our listeners and many people around the country. Yeah, he's a jerk, but he's our jerk. I told people during the campaign. Look, it wasn't my first choice, wasn't my second choice. But I can share as hell tell the difference between a fire and a fireman. And if a fireman is trying to save my house from burning down, I don't care if he's a bit of a jerk at home. Um, we we've known you for a long time.
We know you're a fan of history, Mike. I have some concern with how casually everybody calls everybody else a liar or a traitor or that sort of thing. On on both sides. It's not just become commonplace for for some of you politicians to call your colleagues liars. That didn't used to happen. Ever, Are you worried about that? Well,
it ever is a long time. It did in my in my modern in my modern life don't know nor in mind of I. I agree with you on that of politics has become increasingly uncivil, but it's not the first time time it's become increasingly uncivil. We saw that and lead up to the Civil War. Um Uh when when when you have to prince predict civil war breaking news on? No, No, I don't think it's going to
get to that. But I do think that there's a similar dynamic taking place, and that is of in the in the mid nineteenth century, there were two principles that simply could not be reconciled, freedom and slavery. That was the crux of Lincoln's House Divided speech. He says, Look, we can't continue to be divided. These two principles cannot co exist forever. One had we have to become all one thing or all the other. Uh and uh, I think that wheels come full circle and now we've got
two incompatible polar opposites, freedom and socialism. They cannot co exist forever. We have to become all one thing or all the other. Fact fact, you know, slavery and socialism basically have their roots in the same principle. And as as as as Lincoln put it. You work in toil and bread and I will eat it. Wow. Wow, well said I think the uh, the coexistence of the two things when you're talking about socialism, can last longer, and I think they're more easily reversed. The march towards either
slave or free was just inexorable. That's why I don't think it's going to be as severe a test of our country as we've been through in the past. And that's the other thing is we've been through a lot worse times than these in the past. We've gotten through them. Do you think there are a substantial number of closet yes on impeachment Democrats or do you think it's mostly restricted to the infamous thirty eight people are discussing? Well, I again, I'm stepping across the line now and trying
to see a future I can't see. But my guess is if it came to a vote, it be pretty much a party line vote. Wow and yeah, as a lot of things are. Congress from Tom McClintock represents the fourth District of California. Thomas, always great to get together. Let's do it again soon, my pleasure. Thanks for having me. You got it well, it's an interesting about the wholes gotta be all one thing or another. But I think
that is true. We got that and that's where we are and that is the big break, and that's why we have so much disagreement. You you like big government taken over run and everything, and the other crowd doesn't. Socialism versus not. And yeah, I don't think I I just disagree with Tom. I don't think it's an all or nothing proposition. That's a matter of degrees. I'll tell you who I think is gonna win that battle. Oh yeah, is a siren song that we're going to give you
