campaign were not based on vengeance and grievance against one man. >> we should be asking ourselves a bigger question about the weaponization of the department of justice. when i'm president, the first thing i'll do is fire merrick garland. second thing i'll do is fire christopher wray. because we need lady justice to wear a blindfold. without that, no one has confidence in our justice system. >> you believe that mike pence did the right thing on january 6th? >> here's what we need to do, we need to end the weaponization of these federal agencies. >> that's not the question. >> that's not the question. >> i know. but here's the thing -- >> answer the question. >> this election is not about january 6th of 2021. it's about january 20th of 2025, when the next president is going to take office. >> governor hutchinson, you did not raise your hand. >> i did not raise my hand because there's an important issue. we as a party have to face it. and over a year ago, i said that

plane, i think it indicates effectively putin belatedly reestablishing i was really struck to listen to bill burns, the director of the cia speak last month thinks revenge is a dish best served cold, and putin is the ultimate apostle of payback. we see so many instances of that. he said i would be surprised if prigozhin escapes for their retribution. so i think we have to view today's he in light of that long history of putin �*s ability and commitment to serving vengeance against his perceived enemies. i vengeance against his perceived enemies. . ., vengeance against his perceived enemies. , ., vengeance against his perceived enemies. ., , enemies. i should say, of course, that what we _ enemies. i should say, of course, that what we can _ enemies. i should say, of course, that what we can confirm - enemies. i should say, of course, that what we can confirm at - enemies. i should say, of course, that what we can confirm at this l that what we can confirm at this point is the wagner box was listed as one of the passengers but if you say, if that was the case, talk to us about why we are hearing so many
people say why he was so likely to end up in a situation like this. how has vladimir putin delta before with people who threatened his authority? we are in the uk, the uk perspective commits the russian intelligence services that have attempted to murder a former russian intelligence officer, notjust murdered him, but they used a theatrical very public using a radiological substance. it's beyond any doubt that that was by unit and the russian intelligence services. it was an attempted murder using an extremely rare nerve agent, originally developed by the soviet union. so i can connect with an active vengeance against a perceived enemy vladimir putin and it was
months ago to basically go after putin. it was one of the biggest threats he's faced as a leader in the time that he's been a leader in russia. and then add to that fact that putin is kgb. he's kgb agent who has used vengeance to go after those who have in any way crossed him. you begin to put all that evidence together, and as i said it's not surprising that prigozhin met this end. >> what has been surprising, clarissa ward and i were talking about this before the break, is the fact that we -- i can remember when prigozhin popped up and everybody was surprised after that mutiny, when he popped up again. and the fact that he would be around russia, seemingly going about his business, we're not seeing him on a regular basis, but the fact that he felt comfortable enough, yes, there's a degree of popularity that he enjoys in russia with the russian people, but does that
would he go there? does this change our assessment of his, the way he's operating right now. does this seem like status quo for vladimir putin? >> he goes after traitors with a vengeance, and that's certainly what happened here, looks like with prigozhin. he believes if he can win this war in ukraine, conventionally, he realizes if you go into the tactical realm, that would bring a very sharp and strong and immediate response from nato countries in the united states. and so therefore he's going to push resources into his conventional capabilities, continuing to build up the ability to manufacture and produce drones that are taking a toll inside of ukraine. but at this point, i think he is not going to go beyond the conventional realm. it also demonstrates if he was the one responsible for killing
rudolph giuliani was a hired political gun working to advance donald trump's partisan electoral interests. >> this scandal is a scandal of major proportions. >> all right, are you done now? because you haven't said anything -- >> no, i'm not done now. >> but you can't just talk the whole time. >> mueller, that july, testifies in a very clearly lackluster performance to congress. >> the finding indicates that the president was not -- >> trump not only felt this sense of exoneration, he also had this sense of vengeance. >> i think robert mueller did a horrible job, both today and with respect to the investigation. >> he did nothing wrong, that he wasn't involved in collusion, that he wasn't involved in obstruction. >> it's in this mind-set where, that morning, trump picks up the phone for a call with president zelenskyy. >> the president says, "there's a lot of talk about biden's son, so if you can look into it, it sounds horrible to me."

take back the white house in january of 2025. >> brian: this is pure vengeance. no one thinks that a wall sofltion all the problems it blocks and funnels to other areas which can be staffed. and they are not fully staffed. they are being overwhelmed. we pay for this and they are wasting this. this gov planet auction house. sold 81 slots already 30 feet high for $154 million of the $260 million ballard fence. this is awful. nibbing this scrap skill it's unpatriotic move. if you care about our nation's borders. if you are a major corporation, don't show up for this auction. >> yeah. brian. apparently the administration is trying to silence the auction house as well. >> this is a fairly typical operation for things like excess meals ready to eat or excess ponchos. that's why we have army surplus stores that sell these
nothing i ever expected seeing. part of the chilling aspect, talking about the fbi has created an entire unit, an entire unit just to track threats against fbi personnel. that didn't exist when the fbi was beginning to combat organized crime, al capone. here we are in 2023, the fbi has a unit to protect the fbi from threats of violence. some of it is access to weapons. way too easy. we have an entire party who is encouraging this sort of behavior. who is speaking in messianic terms. talking about the need to extract vengeance and calling people dogs and tacitly encouraging this violence. i completely agree with eddie. it is not something perhaps happening in the future. it is going on now and has been for some time.
