Starting point is 00:00:18 you get both on-road confidence and off-road capability. Dirt road ahead? Let's go! Truck Month is awesome. Ask your Chevrolet dealer for details. My name is Benny Johnson, and thank you for watching The Benny Show. This home raid on President Trump was unprecedented. It was unnecessary and it was unlawful. And again, what I've been saying since August 8th, the president has the absolute constitutional authority to declassify anything he wants for any reason he wants. And he doesn't have to get permission from any bureaucrat at the National Archives to do
Starting point is 00:00:56 that. And that is confirmed by a 1988 Supreme Court case, Department of the Navy versus Egan. So there goes the underlying potential charge for espionage that's in this that was in this warrant. Second point, the president has the sole statutory authority to make the determination whether a record is a personal record that belongs to him or a presidential record that goes to the bureaucrats at the National Archives and then almost certainly gets sent back to the president to put in his former library, the former president's library. And that is confirmed by a 2012 decision by an Obama judge related to Judicial Watch and Tom Fenton's lawsuits against President Clinton
Starting point is 00:01:37 related to eight years of audio tapes in his sock drawer. So what is left? They're looking at obstruction. Well, it is legally impossible for a former president to obstruct investigations into non-crimes. Incredible, ladies and gentlemen, check out the affidavit. Here's all the reasons for them to raid Donald Trump's just release. Here's them. All the reasons to raid Donald Trump's private residence at Mar-a-Lago. So important. The affidavit right here. I got it in my hot little hands. Actually, we do have it coming to the studio in just a moment. It's being printed right now.
Starting point is 00:02:10 We will show you what the affidavit looks like. And most importantly, what it doesn't include, which is any evidence that there's any crime being committed by Donald Trump that would require a raid. Then you have 18 straight pages of redactions. Page 20 is amazing. Yeah, check out that. Oh, very good.
Starting point is 00:02:35 Oh, thank you, government. Remember, Joe Biden said this would be the most transparent administration in American history. Jen Psaki said this would be the most transparent administration in American history. There's your transparency, ladies and gentlemen. It looks like this looks like the coffee table at Hunter Biden's house on a Saturday night. A lot of white lines. That's about it. A lot of white lines.
Starting point is 00:02:56 Nothing. There's nothing. Legal scholars are completely perplexed and gobstopped by this document. And one of our favorite legal scholars on planet earth, a man who started the article three project in order to protect against things like this and a deep and abiding abuses of power. Again, we wish we could tell you more, but we can't a man who can and who can see through these black lines. literal superpower, is a man named Mike Davis. Mike Davis joins us now from the Article 3 project, just hot off of a Fox News hit. Mike, how are you?
Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm doing well, Ben. Thanks for having me. All right. So what's, okay, so what the hell is happening right now? We just saw you go goblin mode, as we like to call it on this show on Fox News, not not against Fox News, but against Joe Biden, his regime, his administration. After this affidavit was released, you are the sole reason I would like to argue. You don't have to say it. I can say it that Donald Trump has the Supreme Court nominees that he has. You know this better than anyone. You've worked on the judiciary with Chuck Grassley.
Starting point is 00:04:02 You have clerked inside of the Supreme Court. You know this stuff as as well or better than anyone. You've worked on the judiciary with Chuck Grassley. You have clerked inside of the Supreme Court. You know this stuff as well or better than anyone. What do you see when you see this affidavit? This affidavit confirms what I've been saying since August 8th when they did this home raid, that this was an unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful home raid. And you showed the clip of what I said on Fox. The president had the absolute constitutional power to declassify, which he did. He had the absolute statutory power to make a personal, take a personal copy of any presidential record he wanted, which he did. So he had declassified personal records with him at Mar-a-Lago. He didn't just wave a magic wand, which he absolutely had the constitutional right to do with the crossfire hurricane Russian collusion documents. He had the January 19th, 2021 declassification memo that very clearly declassified these records before he left office the next day. Biden Justice Department and these left-wing bureaucrats at the National Archives who dragged
Starting point is 00:05:05 their feet and did not publicly release these declassified records. But Trump had his personal copy in Mar-a-Lago, and that's what this raid was all about. These are damning documents that blows the lid on Obama, Biden, Hillary, the FBI, the intel community, the Russian collusion hoax. And they had to go get these documents. So they went to this biased judge, magistrate judge Bruce Reinhart, who just recused from President Trump's civil lawsuit against Hillary Clinton on June 22nd because he's Trump deranged. He had this Facebook post in 2017 attacking President Trump's personal integrity, yet somehow this bias, this obvious judicial bias under 28 U.S.C. 455A and Canon 2A of the judicial canons, that bias somehow went away
Starting point is 00:05:55 when he signed off on this unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful home raid of a former president who had damaging documents on Attorney General Merrick Garland's boss. So you're agreeing with the leaks that we saw on Newsweek, and you're agreeing with Kash Patel, who was on the show earlier this week, saying this is not about the classified documents, the nuclear option here. Trump had the nuclear codes, and he had a nuclear launch kit. And he were sitting there more like it was a parlor game and he'd have one too many Diet Cokes and he'd launch the nukes
Starting point is 00:06:29 at Rocket Man. This is not the case. This was a lie. It was about the declassified documents from Russiagate. Yeah, I mean, this is part of a pattern of lies. Attorney General Merrick Garland's aides in the Justice Department leaked out to Newsweek that he did not personally approve this home rate. He did, right? That was a clear lie. They leaked out that Trump had the nuclear documents. Well, he clearly did not. He couldn't launch the nukes at Hillary and take her out. So he, you know, there were no Q-level classifications on that home rate inventory. There were no Q-level classifications mentioned in this affidavit. They mentioned TS, which is top secret.
Starting point is 00:07:09 They mentioned SCI, or Secure Compartment Information from the CIA, but no mention of Q classifications from the Department of Energy. They tried to make this rate look more justified than it was and more urgent than it was by saying he had these nuclear documents and these highly secret documents. They also said that President Biden was not involved with this raid at all. And that's just a complete lie. We saw with the National Archives letter that Jonathan Su, the deputy White House counsel to President Biden, relayed that President Biden personally approved the waiver of President Trump's executive privilege claim, which paved the way for this home raid. And they've been involved with this for months. And if these documents were so secret, so sensitive, so damaging to our national security, why did President Biden,
Starting point is 00:07:55 why did Attorney General Merrick Garland wait 18 months to go get them? Why did Attorney General Merrick Garland wait several weeks before we authorized this home raid? Why did they wait three days after this biased judge in West Palm Beach, Florida, Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, authorized this raid? Why did they wait three days to go get them? This is all bogus. This is all a charade. This was a political hit to get these crossfire hurricane declassified personal records of Trump's because they're so damning.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Speaking of damning, we have to admit right now we had to go kill a squid and get all of its ink down here in Florida in order to print out the affidavit. OK, we ran out of ink in the Johnson household. And here we go. I want you want to bring your attention to page 25 and page 24 here, Mike. What do you think's going on with the government here? Very important stuff. It's very transparent, as you can see. I mean, this was so predictable and predicted. Think about this. This is the same FBI counter-espionage unit that ran the Russian collusion hoax. And now they're the unit that ran this home raid, right? And then they team up with this biased judge who authorized this unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful home raid. And now they team up with this biased judge who authorized this unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful home raid.
Starting point is 00:09:08 And now they're going back to this judge and he's going to determine what's redacted and what's made public. Well, of course, this magistrate, Judge Bruce Reinhart, has the exact same incentives as the Biden Justice Department to cover his tracks here. They don't he doesn't want the American people to see why he authorized this raid because it's a complete political hit. It's a charade. These are non-crimes, as we discussed it. It's impossible as a matter of law for a president to violate the Espionage Act by declassifying records.
Starting point is 00:09:36 It is impossible as a matter of law for a president to take personal copies of presidential records. It is impossible as a matter of law for a president to obstruct investigations into those two non-crimes. This is a political charade. So there are two parts of this. Okay. So we want to, we want to make a lot of fun of the, we want to make a lot of fun of the affidavit. We have it here, but we, there are two parts of it that I did think that were interesting that were not redacted. There are 18 pages that are redacted out of 32. So 18 pages redacted out of 32 total or partial redactions.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Most pages look like this. However, in the parts that you can read, there is an argument being made by the Justice Department that is saying that Donald Trump may not have the power to declassify anything that he wants. You can see like the foundations of an argument being made there inside the Justice department saying, actually, the executive doesn't have the power to do that mixed with, as we read through this. And again, I'm no legal scholar. Mike Davis is the legal scholar and the genius here. I'm just the guy with the room temperature IQ, but even I can read English. And what you see here is a bunch of angry, bitter, unmarried, childless librarians who seem to be exerting some type of law enforcement control over Donald Trump. And what I see in both of those arguments, Mike, and you could tell me if I'm wrong again, I'm not the expert, but what I see in both those arguments is the destruction of our
Starting point is 00:10:58 republic because these are unelected bureaucrats telling the executive, the executive that is wholly embodied in the man of Donald Trump constitutionally, how to do his job and most importantly, that they have power over him. So we elect the president of the United States. We, the people elect the president of the United States. And he has inherent constitutional power as the commander inchief to classify or declassify anything he wants. And he doesn't have to follow the statutes or the regulations or get permission from bureaucrats who work for him for him to do this. And that is confirmed clearly by a 1988 Supreme Court decision, Department of the Navy versus Eagan. Everyone else on the planet, except for the president or anyone authorized by the president, has to follow these bureaucratic steps, jump through these bureaucratic hoops as
Starting point is 00:11:51 it relates to classified material. The president does not. A good example of this is March 2012, when President Obama got caught on the hot mic, leaning over and telling the Russian president, the Putin puppet at the time, that Obama would have more negotiating room after the November 2012 presidential election. That is highly classified information, the most classified information you can think of, and you're telling that to an enemy. If that were anyone else other than the president or someone authorized by the president, they could be charged with espionage. But because it's the president of the United States, he cannot. He is the one who determines under our Constitution what's classified and what's not. Not some angry librarian at the
Starting point is 00:12:33 archives who thinks that her books are overdue. Can you explain? I mean, can you perhaps break this down? So you're citing Department of Navy versus Egan. We all know about Tom Fitton versus Bill Clinton and his sock drawer too for creepy. The last thing I want to do is take a black light to Bill Clinton's sock drawer. Uh, but Hey, listen, man, like these are set cases and all legality is based on precedent. Am I wrong? Like this would be a, this would be a very simple case to argue where it before you or the Supreme Court based on the precedent? This is crystal clear. And this is why when Attorney General Merrick Garland was in damage control mode and said he'd deliberate it for weeks to get this, to order this home raid, why didn't he go down the hall to the Office of Legal Counsel at the Justice Department, OLC,
Starting point is 00:13:20 and get an opinion on this to see whether this raid would have been legal or not. It's illegal on so many different levels. Not only is it illegal because of the Egan case or the Obama case or the Clinton case that we talked about, it's also illegal under the Fourth Amendment. This was an unreasonable search and seizure. They got the warrant from a biased judge. That's unconstitutional. They also did this home raid. It wasn't their
Starting point is 00:13:45 last option. When you do a home raid, you have to do other things first before you go to that nuclear option, pun intended. Remember, Congress contemplates with the Presidential Records Act that former presidents have classified material. Congress gives former presidents federally funded office space, including secure compartmented compartm facilities or skips. They the staff and the former clearances. They get secre to guard the paper records They have debugging devic
Starting point is 00:14:15 like Hillary who was not president where she had a that was hacked by foreig is a former president of the United States where it is contemplated by Congress that they have classified records. He didn't have classified records, but even if he did, they were protected. And it is routine for former presidents to have disputes with the National Archives, a tug of war. And you resolve those disputes through notifying Congress or filing a civil lawsuit or issuing a subpoena, you don't do
Starting point is 00:14:46 an unprecedented, unnecessary and unlawful home raid of a former president unless President Trump had declassified personal records that were so damning that it was worth it to the Biden regime to go do this. And that's those were the crossfire hurricane records. What would you say as a legal professional and top of your field as it pertains to what this does to the rule of law in this country? It does seem to be so violative of the Constitution, of the executive branch. It does seem to be the the revenge of the machines. Right. The unelected robotic bureaucrats who spend their lives, little Dr. Fauci's, all of them, so up their own ass and so self-important and self-aggrandized that they really do think that they are more valuable than the elected president of the United States or have more power and more
Starting point is 00:15:38 worth than the will of the people and the constitutional system that governs us. This is third world banana republic style tactics that we're seeing here and this is part of a pattern for six years where these democrats and their administrative state democrats and the federal government the prominent career civil servants who were three million of them who are overwhelmingly democrats and part of that administrative state is the deep state the fbi and the intel agencies where they hate Trump. They did not want to accept the results of the election of President Trump. And in 2016, they saw Hillary colluding with the FBI and the intel agencies.
Starting point is 00:16:18 They unleashed and Biden and Obama. They unleashed the Russian collusion hoax investigation on presidential candidate Donald Trump. They spied on him as a presidential candidate. They spied on him as president of the United States. They come up with this Russian collusion hoax that was debunked. They lied. They manipulated. They impeached him twice, overturning the election twice. And now they're trying to disqualify him from office by saying that he, you know, was selling nuclear secrets to Russia or some crazy nonsense here. This is, they cry about democracy. Yeah. Okay. Good. This is really democracy here that when they're
Starting point is 00:16:57 overturning the presidential election twice with impeachment. So Royce, let's toss the affidavit back up on screen. I want to, since this is what's breaking, and Mike, I want to be respectful of your time here. So I did want to ask one or two more questions, if you have time, about this affidavit, which is on screen right now. As a legal professional, when you see something this heavily redacted, what does it say to you about the federal government's case against Donald Trump? It says cover up, political cover up, because sunlight is the best disinfectant. They could have easily redacted the names of sources and done more limited redactions of methods. They took the black pen to over half of this affidavit and over half of it, you know, the most important substantive parts, they blacked out. What are they hiding? They are selectively, the Biden Justice Department is selectively dripping, leaking from this affidavit. They illegally leaked from the grand jury. But they don't want the American people to see this because they know that this is a political charade. They went to their West Palm Beach,
Starting point is 00:18:06 Trump deranged, biased judge, magistrate judge, Bruce Reinhart, and got this kangaroo court to sign off on this unlawful, unnecessary, and unprecedented home raid of a former president. Is there anything in here that, and I'm going to ask you to try and be overly generous and maybe play devil's advocate. Is there anything in here that strikes you as alarming or concerning if you were on Donald Trump's legal team? No, not at all. Not at all. They tried to say that Trump had all these classified records and there was a danger to our national security and they had to go get them. A, they weren't classified. They're not government records. They're Trump's personal copy. And if it was such a danger to our national
Starting point is 00:18:49 security, why the hell did they wait 18 months to go get these? Why the hell did Merrick Garland deliberate for weeks? Why the hell did they wait three days after their biased judge authorized their illegal home raid? Final question on this, as it pertains to where this goes next there does seem to be a lot of legal limbo right so you have bruce reinhardt when does this case get taken away from him how would this case get taken away he's essentially like a paper pusher right like he's a magistrate judge he's like an intern so like you know they clearly shopped for this scumbag but when does when does this get and by the way if i may like jonathan turley just wrote on his sub stack this is insane that the judge just let them have every redaction that they wanted the judge says oh yeah that looks good
Starting point is 00:19:38 which is he you know again i'm not the legal here, but he says that's really strange that the judge just goes, yes, yes. All these redactions totally cool with me. Is that normal? No, it's nothing about this case is normal. President Trump's lawyers filed a Fourth Amendment in Rule 41G motion in the Southern District of Florida to an Article 3 judge. They should they should update amend, that rule 41 G motion. It's a motion to get back his property and you can make legal arguments. They should update that to include these legal arguments that we discussed and also do a motion to recuse this judge.
Starting point is 00:20:14 Yeah. Yeah. Do you think they'll win that? They should win it. And if, uh, if they don't win it, they can take it up to the, uh, U S court of appeals for the 11th circuit where they should win. And if it take it up to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit where they should win. And if it has to go to the Supreme Court, I actually think that Democrat appointed justices like Justice Kagan understands that this is much bigger than President Trump. This is about the presidency and you can't destroy the presidency like Biden has done over the last two years. So, Mike, I have one final question for you. You've done an incredible job laying this laying out this case. You've also had a personal hand in the nominations of
Starting point is 00:20:52 Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. And I think it is important. And I tell my audience every time you're on the show, but it's important for people to understand that none of this stuff happened. You think it's Brett Kavanaugh getting himself on the Supreme Court? Are you kidding me? It's people like Mike Davis behind the scenes who are truly the hatchet men. And I use that very generously, like who get these nominations through. If it wasn't for Mike Davis, we would not have a conservative court today, along with Donald Trump, some incredible other members of the team, Chuck Grassley and so on. Mike, you don't have to compliment yourself. I'll do it for you. However, I say that to say that you know these justices better than nearly anyone alive. You've worked
Starting point is 00:21:30 with them. You're close personal friends to them. Can you tell us what would happen were this to land at the feet of the Supreme Court? What would, can you game theory that for us? Well, I've had no discussions with any justices about any case, nor would I, or any pending case, but I will tell you they would follow precedent and they would follow the 19 uh they would follow the 1988 president and department of navy versus egan that said the president has the absolute constitutional power to declassify anything he wants they would follow the precedent of the dc district court the obama appointed judge to the d.C. District Court in 2012, who held that the president has the sole statutory authority under the Presidential Records Act to
Starting point is 00:22:11 determine whether records are personal that belong to him or presidential records that belong to the, that belong, that go to the National Archives bureaucrats and they can sit back to the library for the former president. They would also follow the precedent on obstruction of justice, that it is legally impossible for a president to obstruct justice into these non-crimes. Wow. All right. Hey, Royce, let's go full screen again here. Mike, where is the easiest place? Obviously, the viewers, if you were watching Fox News just a moment ago, you saw Mike go on there and just go scorched earth for 10 straight minutes. We're getting notification that Donald Trump has shared Mike Davis's interview on Fox News. So we'll be sure to clip this one and put it back up, too.
Starting point is 00:22:52 So hopefully President Trump shares this as well. But, Mike, where can people follow you? You're clearly the number one person out front here. What's the best way for people to support you and follow you? Yeah, it seems like the other Republican lawyers, including those appointed by Trump, are hiding in their law firms and not speaking out. So it's article3project.org, article3project.org on our website. It's at article3project on Getter, Truth, Twitter. And then my personal is MRDDMIA, Michael R. Davis, Des Moines, Iowa. MRDDMIA.
Starting point is 00:23:27 And thank you, Ben, for having me on. Appreciate it very much. One of the true, actual, literal fighters out there. A bare-knuckle brawler. And I've actually known him since college. Recruited me into the College Republicans. So thank you, Mike Davis, for being on the show. Go get him, buddy.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Thanks, Ben. All right. Hey, ladies and gentlemen, here is the breaking news off the top. What happened today? Mar-a-Lago raid and the redactions are here. Let's check in on what the latest breaking news is from these redactions and why the deep state is in pure panic. Martha, we have a portion right here, which is interesting because some of this is redacted as expected. So that's not overly surprising. But this gives an idea right here. It says CBS Miami, according to an article from CBS Miami titled Moving Trucks Spotted at Mar Lago, published Monday, January 18th, 2021. At least two moving trucks were observed at the
Starting point is 00:24:22 premises on January 18th, 2021, a few days before then President Trump left office. That's not abnormal. But then you have chunks like this that are redacted. So there may be some information in here related to that part of the moving truck. So this is the kind of picture we're getting. We're not getting all of the details here. Negotiators from the Department of Justice were down at Mar-a-Lago meeting with President Trump's team, former President Trump's team back in June. We're told the former president actually popped into that meeting and they were aware that some of these documents were in this room, in a storage room in the basement of Mar-a-Lago. And that's clearly what this talks about right
Starting point is 00:25:02 here, Martha. Yeah, really. There's literally a section of the affidavit. We have the whole thing right here. We have the whole affidavit right here, okay? There's literally a section of it. There's a section of the affidavit that says that CBS Miami witnessed moving trucks in Mar-a-Lago. You can see it. You can read it. There were moving trucks.
Starting point is 00:25:23 Donald Trump was moving into Mar-a-Lago, yet there were moving trucks. Can you explain that? Huh? I moved into this house about one year ago, and there were moving trucks outside of this house. Boy, I'm waiting for my FBI raid. Here we go. FBI raid. They, hey, they, just the best guys over there.
Starting point is 00:25:39 The G-men, baby. The best of the best. They got moving trucks at Mar-a-Lago. You can read it right there in the affidavit. The angry, bitter, nonsensical, vicious partisan, unelected bureaucrats inside of the federal government are absolutely staging their own revenge against the man who is the man who fights the machine, Donald Trump. This is what the machine had to say. Joe Biden weighing in on this issue seconds ago at the White House, trying to keep his teeth inside of his mouth from chattering and clattering out of his mouth,
Starting point is 00:26:12 like the, you know, the dummy teeth, right? That's his, here, watch Joe Biden essentially try and like squint into the sun and keep his teeth in his mouth as he talks about this issue. This is breaking just moments ago. I haven he talks about this issue. This is breaking just moments ago. I haven't actually watched this clip. Let's watch it together. Mr. President, in simple terms, is it ever appropriate for a president to take home with them classified and top secret documents? Depending on the circumstance. For example, I have in my home a Kavanaugh space that is completely secure.
Starting point is 00:26:46 I'm taking home with me today today's DVD. It's locked. I have a person with me, military with me. I read it. I lock it back up and give it to the military. Without a specialized area in this, it would be classified documents. Is it ever appropriate for a president to bring back the documents? It depends on the documents and it depends on how secure the documents are.
Starting point is 00:27:09 Semi-fascist. What do you mean by semi-fascism, sir? What? What is that? Wait. Well, I can't believe what I just saw. So you have like Joe Biden being like, hey, man. Hey.
Starting point is 00:27:24 Hold on. The Joe Biden impression, hey, man, hey. Hold on. The Joe Biden impression. Hey, man. You got to get the true international impression in the document. You take a document. You just take a document. And then you put it in a safe. I got plenty of documents.
Starting point is 00:27:41 This is what Joe Biden's saying. Joe Biden's got plenty of documents. This is what Joe Biden's saying. Joe Biden's got plenty of documents. We tried to get Joe Biden's classified documents from the department, from his library at the University of Delaware. They wouldn't give reporters those documents when Joe Biden was running for president. Wait a second. Joe Biden's just sitting there being like, yeah, man, I got tons of classified documents. I got, so, I mean, Joe Biden wouldn't have that senility, but like, I have tons of classified documents. I'm taking classified documents home with me today. I got a little safe. They broke into Donald Trump's safe.
Starting point is 00:28:10 They cracked the safe open. They took his passports. This is how we know they were after the Russiagate documents. Here's Joe Biden sitting there openly admitting that he's doing the exact same thing that Donald Trump's doing. Do you need any further evidence that this is about hierarchy? This is not about hypocrisy. Oh, it's this is about hierarchy? This is not about hypocrisy. Oh, it's a hypocritical, it's not about hypocrisy.
Starting point is 00:28:29 It's about hierarchy. Royce, do we have that Twitter thread up that we can put up for the people? Because I think this is really important. Brett Tolman. Brett Tolman. He is a lawyer. He is on twitter.com, executive director of Right on Crime, former U.S. attorney. Former U.S. attorney. Weekend Cowboy,avit. I'm not a lawyer. Brett Tolman read the affidavit. We've also reached out to Brett. Apparently he's at a cabin somewhere and he can't
Starting point is 00:29:09 join our show, but he'll be on the show either on Monday or Tuesday. He wants to come on. He says it's really concerning what happened here. One, it does not appear to include any exculpatory evidence or mitigating facts. While it includes a letter from Trump's lawyers, it doesn't acknowledge any potential advice to counsel, defense, or even that they may lack authority to bring such a case against former protests. Two, it's no factual evidence attributable to the mens re requirements, which is the burden of the government must meet in showing criminal intent and target. If it's there, it is redacted. The affidavit is filled with conclusory statements like there is probable cause is stated authoritatively, but conclusory statements like there is probable cause
Starting point is 00:29:45 is stated authoritatively but without any reference to who the probable cause applies to or sufficient facts supporting probable cause it's surprising that reinhardt signed this given the fact that his overwhelming tenor of the unredacted facts is a civil dispute over documents and cannot be retained versus the National Archives request. Criminal intent appears nowhere in the affidavit, according to this federal prosecutor. There is no criminal intent. My favorite part, the focus of the fact is less on if Donald Trump may or may not be in possession,
Starting point is 00:30:22 but whether the docks are secure in a designated room. No mention that the whole place is secured by Secret Service. There does not appear to be any probable cause to search the safe. The safe is not listed on the places to search, nor is it described the factual justifications. There is no set of facts revealed to show that the target transported, removed, destroyed, altered, or in disclosed any other classified documents, meaning that Donald Trump was implanting some massive criminal conspiracy to, uh, make the nuclear codes into a paper airplane and then fly them to Moscow. The affidavit instructs the judge
Starting point is 00:30:59 of the applicable law, but withholds any mention of the court's decision that POTUS has the unfettered ability to declassify and fails to inform the court that a former POTUS may fall outside of the criminal statute. Shockingly, it admits that the FBI searched through boxes of documents that the National Archives had recovered and did so pursuant their criminal investigation, but did not use a taint team to ensure that they were not reviewing privileged documents. The brief, this is the final tweet, the brief referenced the article citing Kash Patel's statements that the documents were declassified and it should have given the judge a pause that this is not a criminal case and that the requisite mens rea would be impossible to establish against the target.
Starting point is 00:31:49 So what they're citing there is a Breitbart article saying that Kash Patel is saying, yo, we declassified all these documents. You're talking about, and by the way, that Kash Patel clip came from this show. Thank you, Kash, for being on the show earlier this week. Came from this show where Kash Patel explained that these are all Russiagate documents. This is what they're really after. That they're all declassified. It's about the declassified documents, not the classified documents.
Starting point is 00:32:13 It won't take long to tell you Neutral's ingredients. Vodka. Soda. Natural flavors. So, what should we talk about no sugar added neutral refreshingly simple so yo this is a absolutely brutal takedown. Donald Trump saying this on Truth Social.
Starting point is 00:32:48 He put out a couple truths here, baby. Here we go. Affidavit heavily redacted. Nothing mentioned. Nuclear. Total public relations set refuge by the FBI and DOJ. Close working relationship. Document turnover.
Starting point is 00:33:01 We gave them much. We gave them much. All your base are belong to us. Judge Bruce Reinhart should never have allowed the break-in at my home. He recused himself two months ago from one of my cases based on his animosity and hatred of me. What changed? Why hasn't he recused himself in this case? Obama must be very proud right now. Don't you miss this guy? Don't you miss him? Do we have another one from? OK, here we go. Which Donald Trump? Which? There you go. Donald Trump call talking about it. Which is trending right now on Twitter, even without Donald Trump, even with Trump banned from Twitter.
Starting point is 00:33:40 Which hunt is the number one trending topics? So there you go. A brutal and destructive DOJ and FBI going after a political enemy of the regime. The regime acting as one in order to try and slander and smear Donald Trump in the press. The regime leaking and telling everyone that this is their case. There you go. There's your case. You want to see? Look at that. I was running out of ink.
Starting point is 00:34:11 Look at that. We're running out of ink over here at the Benny Show. There's so much redactions, all of our ink ran out. Look at that. Look at that. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen.
Starting point is 00:34:22 There is probable cause to believe that the documents contained at classified NDI and presidential records remained at the premises. Of course there are classified records at the premises, ya boobs! He's the former president of the United States! Every president gets a skiff, every president gets secret service,
Starting point is 00:34:42 every president gets staff. That is allotted to them. Every former president as well. Allotted to them from Congress. There's a skiff in Bill and Hillary's place. Skiff at Obama's place. These people have classified documents because so much of what happens
Starting point is 00:34:58 inside the government is classified. Shouldn't be, but it is. So there it is. The scum inside of the administration releasing this, calling themselves the most transparent regime in American history. There you go. There you go. Again, it looks like Madagascar.
Starting point is 00:35:19 It looks like the zebra. It looks like Hunter Biden's weekend at Hunter Biden's, right? A lot of white lines. If you're picking up what I'm laying down. Pretty embarrassing. Be sad to watch Joe Biden try and climb these stairs. That's it. That's it. Look at this. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:35:38 It says cover-up, said Mike Davis. Mike Davis said, of course, they don't have a case here. Of course, this is illegal. Of course, we all know what is actually happening. and we all are aware of what's going on. They know that they're losing. They know they've already lost their wounded animals. They're mortally wounded animals and they are losing the country. The country has rejected them and they are trying desperately like rage filled demons to cling on to power. And so what they need is a good exercise. A good exorcism. Okay?
Starting point is 00:36:08 And that's what happens when people of morality and people of the rule of law, like you and me, join together and vote these people the hell out of office. And if you think that you think this is going to change things, you think this is going to like reshift
Starting point is 00:36:24 the focus on Donald Trump, it's going to change things? You think this is going to like reshift the focus on Donald Trump? It's going to backfire. Backfire.

Starting point is 00:36:39 It's going to be intimate just like this. And we're going to be able to have a real conversation with them. We want to say thank you again at Record Viewhip week we've been hitting and grinding and working our fingers to the bone to try and get you this and ladies and gentlemen i mean wish i mean i wish we had more to show you this is what your government thinks of you. This is a criminal enterprise. It is proof positive of the deep state. It is handing Donald Trump 2024 on a silver platter.
Starting point is 00:37:12 They have overreached. They're not going to win. And I think we have a... Ah, there's the meme. There's the meme. Can we get the meme up? Oh, yes. We will end with a meme, ladies and gentlemen, from Grand Old Memes, a real special one here, and send you off on your weekend with a happy thought. And here's the happy thought. The happy thought
Starting point is 00:37:40 is that all America's ever needed in order to rid itself of tyrants is a group of committed patriots who love this place a lot and who will go out and who will band together and who will decide to save this country. And that is exactly what we intend on doing. Save America is the way to do it. That is the calling card for our movement, and it is exactly what we endeavor to do every single day. It is why we want to say to you, thank you, once again. As our audience, we want to say thank you. This is, throw it up.

Bye bye, Joe Biden. without the love and the endeavoring of the people in this movement, well, then maybe hope would be lost. But we are growing stronger. We are the majority.

We're born free men and women, and we're going to stay that way.
