Rioters and arsonists left entire city blocks in ruins in some cases, barbaric in their attacks on people. In cities like rochester, new york, a man in white was savagely beaten for trying to stop a group of looters in a store under their apartment. And a dallas man trying to protect his neighborhood was beaten within an inch of his life by these socalled protesters and demonstrators. The man is stable, but police have made no arrests whatsoever. Nearly all of these ugly scenes of vicious mobs rioting unfolding in the streets and neighborhoods of democratic partyrun cities, democraticrun cities. And local Law Enforcement in nearly every one of those cities was apparently ordered to permit leftwing extremist groups including antifa run rampant to do as much damage as possible to property and injury to citizens and Law Enforcement alike as they chose. Where were those mayors, where are they now . And why arent citizens demanding these mayors, these city council members, these Police Chiefs do their jobs . And why werent those same Citizens Holding them accountable . Failed frauds like the young mayor of minneapolis whose Police Department permitted a cop like derek. Chauvin to kill a citizen and not take responsibility for hi z heinous heinous act, why didnt the mayor meet the Community Leaders and floyds family immediately . Why wasnt he on the streets to listen to and talk with outraged demonstrators and protesters, citizens all . And where were the communitys Church Leaders and councilmen . Minneapolis socalled community organizers. For that matter, where were the Business Leaders . Where were the local members of the chamber of commerce . Why has the National Chamber of commerce been silent . Where was the community of minneapolis that to this point has blamed seemingly everyone but themselves for George Floyds murder and the phi days it took five days it took the city to charge his killer with that crime despite unequivocal evidence on video of that crime . Instead of consoling his city, the a mayor was caught lying about outside agitators running through his city. Here he is on saturday. The people that are doing this are not minneapolis residents. They are coming in largely from outside of the city, from outside of the region to prey on everything that we have built over the last several decades. Lou not only incompetent, but lacking integrity at all, it seems. He later apologized, took some responsibility for lying. Arrest records show 86 of those taken into custody are from minnesota. Five out of state cases from arkansas, florida, illinois, michigan and missouri. And adding to the insult, minnesotas failed governor making an incendiary choice. The governor, who has been led by his nose and set on his hands as minneapolis was burning, appointing radical dem state attorney general Keith Ellison to create possibly even more division, more calamity. The ignorance of minnesotas leaders, state and local, is overwhelming and would be dispiriting to any community in the state or, for that matter, to any other state had they been forced to tolerate such incompetence, such ineptitude and such, such lack of integrity. With a lack of any local leadership, President Trump is now demanding more action as he has from the outset and has designated antifa to be a terrorist organize. He also used a Conference Call today to unload on some of the nations weak governors, calling them weak and urging them to arrest more people and to dominate the streets, take those streets back from the amazing viciousness of a mob that has shown up in so many of our cities. The viciousness of inaction and irresponsibility. The only place our local communities, but the u. S. District court system as well. For the past two and a half years, former National Security adviser general Michael Flynn has had a case before u. S. District court judge Emmet Sullivan that has yet to be resolved. Today sullivan further extended that case that has dragged on for years saying he doesnt have to drop flips case just because flynns case just because the Justice Department dropping charges. Sullivan claiming he, he has the right to conduct his own investigation now into flynns withdrawal of his guilty plea. Hes asking the d. C. Circuit court of appeals to stay out of the case to insure, quote, the integrity of the judicial process. It is my opinion that that judge would not know integrity if it smacked him straight in the nose. Joining us this evening by phone is sidney powell, general flynns defense attorney, former federal prosecutor. Sidney, it is great to have you with us. Make of this what you can for us who dont know the law, but we do know common corruption and just spite which seems to be that which is driving this judgeer respect i of the further irrespective of the further injustice he does to general flynn. Well, its clear from his brief with, lou, that the judge has abandoned any pretense of impartiality and wants to prosecute general flynn himself and conduct a mini trial over whatever issues he chooses to identify in the case regardless of what the attorney general has decided and done here. Even going back to charges that didnt exist in the first place and creating some new ones as well. Its just absolutely beyond the pale. You dont is have to understand law to understand this because the brief, obviously, doesnt cite real law or distorts what they pretend to cite as it is, and they completely ignore our motions to withdraw the plea, the fact that general flynn was represented by counsel who had a nonconsent bl conflict of interest that was so bad he effectively was not represented by counsel at all. I mean, everything wrong with this brief. It ignores the truth the, the brady ed the government suppressed, it perceivedded the pursued the fallacy that the government the did everything right when it did everything wrong. Lou it also ignores, does it not, the ruling of the Supreme Court on this very issue, that the court has no role once the Justice Department, the prosecutor makes a decision to drop the case. Exactly. And the brand new Supreme Court decision that was unanimous that says the court cant just call for briefs of friends of the court because it wants to. Or redefine the issues before it, before it. None of that is permissible. So i dont think this brief is going to favorably impress the court of appeals at all, and im hoping they rule very promptly. Lou yeah. And we havent even heard from the government yet. Im expecting their brief to come in any minute. Lou yeah. Well and what do you expect that brief to hold . This is they dropped their charges, they want this case dismissed, they made the motion to do so, and this judge appears to have some motivating force that the rest of us mere citizens are unaware of. And, apparently, theres no existence, any basis at least of a motivating force in law. So what in hell is this judge doing . I dont know, lou. Its not rational. They even ignore his brief even ignores the fact he ended the december 18, 2018, sentencing new plea colloquy with this question. At some point it probably wont surprise you that i have many, many, many more questions. And he specifically says he questions what part of the governments investigation was impeded and what was the Material Impact of the criminality. Things like that. And those are are precisely what the government addresses in its motion to dismiss, that it wasnt material, there was no valid investigation, there was nothing to be impeded. General flynn never should have been interviewed in the first place aside from the fact we now have scads of evidence that he told the truth to the agents as they knew it and briefed that fact back to three different groups in the fbi and doj. General flynn was honest with those agents. Everything proves that. Lou the record is clear. This man was framed, he was set up, and the fbi behaved like they, like you know, third world, corrupt, petty agents of a dictator instead of representatives of the people, the Justice Department and our constitution. Its sickening to watch. And to watch this judge drag the entire federal judiciary into the same cesspool that the fbi and the department of justice officials, top officials have been living in for who knows how long is truly, its i outrageous, its disappointing, and it wont be soon that this country recovers from this level of incompetence and corruption. It is very bad, lou. It is very bad. And the d. C. Circuit, i believe, will fix this very soon. Theres nothing in this brief that gives them any reason to do otherwise. Lou and it has taken a long time, but the Justice Department under attorney general barr has done the right thing in making the motion to dismiss. But emmett smith is clinging on to every part of the swamp, apparently, that he can. Is sidney powell, thank you for all you do. Thank you for being with us this evening, we appreciate it. Still ahead here, we look at the failures of the radical leftist mayors who have allowed chaos to rein over to reign over much of the country.

Lou breaking news, former obama National Security adviser susan rice out this week again spitting, well, lies about the violent protests that have broken out across the country. I would bet based on my experience, im not reading the intelligence today or these days, but based on my experience, this is right out of the russians playbook as well. Lou she said she was basing that on her experience. We should remember the last experience susan rice tried, it seemed, to explain a violent event. She tried tackling a deadly terrorist attack on the u. S. Embassy in benghazi. It didnt work out well because everyone soon knew she was lying. Joining us tonight, congressman jim banks. Last summer he told fbi director Christopher Wray to label antifa as a terrorist organization. Harmeet dhillon, cochair of Republican National lawyers association, member of the trump 2020 Advisory Council e, and she is also representing the journalist who was attacked by antifa in portland last summer. Its good to have you both with us, and lets first start with the idea, jim congressman banks that finally it looks like youre going to get your way, and antifa will be called what it is, a terrorist organization. Yeah. Its about time, lou. But this president s serious about holding antifa accountable for their actions. It was last summer when app any kno andy noe got his face beat in that i called on the fbi director, chris wray, to do something about it. To this point, he still hasnt, by the way, done anything about it. But if chris wray would have added antifa as a domestic terrorist, Ideological Group right next to other domestic terrorist groups, at this point we would already be tracking them, we would be prosecuting them, we would be treating them like the terrorists that they are. Unfortunately, the lack of action by the fbi director has led us to where we are today with the president take necessary action to name antifa as a terrorist group. Lou i said that the, that the designation had already taken place, and i want to correct that. It will be taking place. The president has tweeted that he will do so, and the white house acknowledged they will be prosecuting whoever in antifa is breaking the law as members of a terrorist organization. How complicated, how difficult will it be, or will it be simply a stroke of a pen for the president to designate antifa a terrorist organization . Well, lou, thanks for asking, and thanks for having me. Our law provides for designation officially of International Terrorist organizations, and i think antifa should be designated as such. But right away the president can do something called putting together joint task force, thats something that the doj already has a right to do, and they can immediately begin coordinating different agencies, homeland security, fbi, other surveillance and National Security outfits to then coordinate with local Law Enforcement as well. But the problem is the local Law Enforcement in these blue states dont want to prosecute antifa. Thats been the problem in oregon and in portland. Thats been the problem in other big cities. And so its really going to have to be the fbi doing it from scratch. And as congressman banks mentioned, theyre a year behind. Hopefully, they can start now. Lou congressman banks, the president making this decision, and i want to read a statement from attorney general william barr, if you could put up that full screen, folks. He said this federal Law Enforcement actions will be directed at apprehending and, and charging the violent radical agitators who have hijacked peaceful protests and are engaged in violations of federal law. The violence, further goes on to say, the statement, the violence instigated and carried out by antifa and similar groups in connection with rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly. I, this is, brings us to the issue of who is hijacking these protests . Are they being hijacked or, in fact, being led, are they being coordinated by, and by whom if not radical anarchists . Because what is happening is very clearly a plan, because its happening simultaneously, contemporaneously in almost the same fashion in most, nearly all of these cities which are, again, most of which are or the vast majority of which are democratic9ically run. No doubt about it, lou. I had a black a pastor in my district in fort wayne, indiana, call me yesterday and say he went down to observe some of the protests, and it was very clear to him that there was a very strategic element behind the scenes that was coordinating much of it and deciding where the riot would go next. He was observing it and recognized that many of the leaders who were ins gate it, the violent extremists that were instigating our particular riots locally were not a part of our community. He saw that with his own eyes. But what you heard the president do to do, lou, when he spoke to the governors, ive never heard a president in my lifetime speak to politicians the way that he did, demanding that the governors and the mayors in this country rise up and show leadership to quiet these riots, to quiet it down, to show the type of leadership necessary to do it. If theyre not going to do it, then the president is going to step in and do it by taking measures like what you described today. Lou and, harmeet, lets talk about what the president is doing, because these, the citizens of these communities some of them the nations largest cities are not demanding more of their local leaders. This is a matter of proximity in politics, power and responsibility. These are the people responsible for the violence on their street. Why in the world are they not demanding i mean, this mayor in minneapolis is one of the most objectionable fellows i can imagine. Inexperienced, melodramatic and lying. Thats, that is a dangerous cocktail of character in the minneapolis mayor, do you not think . Oh, completely, lou. And i think whats going on here is a confluence of factors and this, you know, susan rice is completely out of touch and out to lunch. For many years weve had these type it is of violent protests in american cities. They started with the occupy wall Street Movement which itself came out of european black block movements, and then we had black lives matter which was some legitimate concern over Police Brutality in certain cases. That was then hijacks by malicious forces, and today we have antifa which is building on all of that. What happened in those earlier movements, lou, is that the aclu and other liberal groups sued all these cities claiming they were First Amendment violations, and as a result, a lot of these cities will not go in and disturb protesters unless somebodys about to be killed. So weve seen the consequences of that, were reaping that now, and antifa now is organized. What congressman banks was saying is absolutely correct. They travel from state to state, they use telecommunications, social media to communicate. They even, those reports of bricks being delivered to different riots in advance so that they could be used as weapons, and theyre using these [inaudible] communities and others for their troops. Thats what theyre doing. Lou obscenely sip call and viciously cynical and viciously destructive. Congressman jim banks, harmeet dhillon, thank you both. We appreciate it. Wed like to hear your thoughts on all o
