DAVID. DAVID: GRADY TRIMBLE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH. FOR MORE ON ALL THIS, LET'S BRING IN MISSOURI SENATOR ERIC SCHMITT. SENATOR, GOOD TO SEE YOU. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. EARLIER IN THE WEEK, BY THE WAY, YOU HAD A TWEET -- I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY CALL THEM SINCE IT'S BECOME X, BUT LET'S CALL IT A TWEET. YOU SAID EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH SHOW ME THE MAN, AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE CRIME. NOW, YOU KNOW WHERE THAT QUOTE CAME FROM, THAT LAST QUOTE, RIGHT? >> YEAH. AND I THINK THAT WHAT WE ARE SEEING RIGHT NOW, DAVID, THIS IS, OBVIOUSLY, IT'S A POLITICAL PROSECUTION. BUT THEY'VE NOW CROSSED THE RUBICON. THIS IS A INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS ROAD TO GO DOWN FOR OUR I RE-- OUR REPUBLIC. THE IDEA THAT ONE PRESIDENT IS TRYING TO THROW HIS CHIEF CHALLENGER, HIS CHIEF POLITICAL RIVAL IN JAIL FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU'VE HEARD THE PREVIOUS CLIP FROM SENATOR ERNST, THERE ARE TWO TWO TIERS OF JUSTICE, BUT THEY'RE OBSESSED WITH DONALD TRUMP. I MEAN, THEY'RE ON ACCESSED. ALL THE THINGS THE -- OBSESSED. ALL THE THINGS THE LEFT WAS HYSTERICAL ABOUT IN 2016, ALL THE THINGS HE DID NOT DO, JOE BIDEN'S DOING ALL OF THOSE, RIGHT? HE'S TRYING TO JAIL A POLITICAL OPPONENT, HE'S CENSORING SPEECH, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THIS IS, LIKE, STAGE 4 TRUMP DERANGEMENT SIN DREAM. IT'S NUTS -- SYNDROME. DAVID: THAT SECOND QUOTE CAME FROM STALIN'S SECRET POLICE CHIEF. AND I'M JUST WONDERING, DO YOU REALLY THINK THAT AMERICA -- I MEAN, SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY IF WE'VE GONE THAT FAR DOWN THE ROAD OF POLITICIZING JUSTICE SYSTEM, WE ARE IN DEEP, DEEP TROUBLE. >> YEAH. NO, LISTEN, I'M DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR THE FATE OF THE REPUBLIC AT IN THIS POINT. YOU HAVE AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS ENGAGED IN A CENSORSHIP ENTERPRISE THAT'S CENSORED, YOU KNOW, MILLIONS OF POSTS. THIS HAS BEEN SHOWN IN COURT NOW, THEY'RE WILLING TO GO THAT FAR, AND THEY'RE WILLING TO WEAPONIZE THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE TO GO AFTER POLITICAL ENEMIES IT'S NOT JUST TRUMP, HEAVY GONE AFTER PARENTS WHO HAVE SHOWN UP TO SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS, THEY'VE GONE AFTER CATHOLICS IF YOU DON'T SAY WHAT THE REGIME 'S NARRATIVE IS, THEY'VE GOT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY OUTSIDE COUNSEL FOR THE DEMOCRAT NATIONAL PARTY HERE. AND, LOOK, THE OTHER THING IS I'M HEARING FROM SO MANY PEOPLE IN MISSOURI WHETHER YOU VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP OR YOU DIDN'T VOTE FOR DONALD TRUMP OR YOU LIKE HIM, YOU DON'T LIKE HIM, THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS STUFF. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOING TO BE THE ANOTHER REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT. MY HOPE IT'S, YOU KNOW, IT'S NEXT YEAR WHEN DONALD TRUMP IS HECHTED, BUT, YOU KNOW, NO MATTER -- ELECTED, BUT NO MATTER OR WHAT, ONCE YOU BREAK THE SEAL ON THIS STUFF THE, IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS. THE SAME REASON YOU TALK ABOUT THEY WANT TO PACK THE COURT, GO FROM 9 TO 13. WHY NOT 26? WHY NOT 50? DAVID: DO YOU THINK THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS DIRECTLY DIRECTING JACK SMITH AND HIS PROSECUTION? >> WELL, IT'S BEEN REPORTED THAT JOE BIDEN HAS SAID IN CONFIDENCE THAT HE THINKS, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A, QUOTE-UNQUOTE, THREAT TO DEMOCRACY AND OUGHT TO, YOU KNOW, PAY A PRICE. AND SO THE JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE, DAVID, WAS A TOTAL SHAM. IF YOU LOOK AT THE ALLEGATIONS IN THIS INDICTMENT, IT ESSENTIALLY MIRRORS THE POLITICAL ACCUSATIONS THAT WERE BEING MADE IN THE JANUARY 6TH COMMITTEE. DAVID: BUT, SENATOR, I JUST, I REALLY WANT TO -- BEFORE WE GET OFF ON THAT TANGENT, I JUST WANT TO ASK SPECIFICALLY DO YOU THINK THE WHITE HOUSE IS DIRECTING THIS PROSECUTION? >> I DON'T THINK YOU COULD SEE IT ANY OTHER WAY. THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS DOING JOE BIDEN'S BIDDING, AND JACK SMITH IS THE GUY THAT THEY WANTED TO PUT ON THIS. HE HAS A RECORD OF BEING PARTISAN -- DAVID: WELL, LET'S TALK ABOUT HIS RECORD, YOU KNOW? HE HAS A PRETTY CHECKERED RECORD. LET'S START WITH THE FORMER VIRGINIA GOVERNOR, BOB BOB McDONNELL. HE WAS PROSECUTED BY JACK SMITH. HIS PROSECUTION WAS UNANIMOUSLY OVERTURN BY THE SUPREME COURT. 0-9. I MEAN, SO, I MEAN, THERE'S NO DOUBT THAT HE OVERCHARGED IN THAT PARTICULAR CASE. THEN WHEN HE WAS HEAD OF THE PUBLIC INTEGRITY UNIT AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA, HE ACTUALLY HELPED LOIS LERNER'S IRS PROSECUTION OF CONSERVATIVES WHICH, OF COURSE, WAS REVEALED AND BECAME A BIG SCANDAL. THAT WAS OVERTURNED. DO YOU THINK THAT HIS PROSECUTION OF DONALD TRUMP, IF HE GETS A CONVICTION IN THE FIRST CASE, DO YOU THINK THAT WILL BE OVERTURNED AS WELL? >> I DO. I THINK THIS'LL ULTIMATELY HEAD TO THE SUPREME COURT PROBABLY, BUT I THINK THIS SHOULD BE THROWN OUT. NOW, WHEN THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN, BY THE WAY, THE D.C. SIR CUL COURT THERE IN WASHINGTON, D.C. OR THE D.C. CIRCUIT, WE'LL SEE. BUT, I MEAN, THESE ARE CHARGES THAT ARE OF A POLITICAL NATURE. THERE'S A WAY TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES WHICH IS WE HAVE ELECTIONS. BUT WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW IS A PROSECUTION TO TRY TO TAKE SOMEBODY WHOYOU KNOW, AT LEAST HALF THE COUNTRY SUPPORTS, IS GOING TO BE THE NOMINEE FOR THE REPUBLICANS, IN MY VIEW, TO TRY TO TAKE HIM, YOU KNOW, OFF THE STAGE. AND THAT'S JUST NOT SOMETHING WE DO IN THIS COUNTRY. PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO VOTE FOR WHO THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR. AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH THEY CAN'T STAND DONALD TRUMP -- AND, BY THE WAY, I ALSO THINKS THIS -- THINK THIS HELPS PRESIDENT TRUMP POLITICALLY BECAUSE PEOPLE SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS. DAVID: CURVE -- CONCERNING THE DUAL JUSTICE, WE HAD THE REVELATION THIS WEEK FROM DEAFEN ARCH ORER THAT CONTRADICTED A LOT OF WHAT PEOPLE SAID HE HAD SAID WHEN WE SAW THE ACTUAL TRANSCRIPT. DEALING WITH -- THAT JOE BIDEN WAS THE KEY REASON WHY HUNTER HAD THE JOB, AND HE WAS LEAN ON FOR HIS SUPPORT SEVERAL TIMES. WHAT'S GOING TO BECOME OF THAT INVESTIGATION, OF THE INVESTIGATION OF HUNTER? AND WILL IT LEAD TO AN IMPEACHMENT OF JOE BIDEN? >> WELL, BY THE WAY, BEFORE WE GET TO THAT, ALSO POINTING OUT THAT JACK SMITH WHEN HE WAS THERE WAS THE SAME TIME FRAME, WHEN HE WAS IN DOJ WAS THE SAME TIME FRAME THAT YOU HAD ALL THESE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS GOING TO SHELL CORPORATIONS TO HUNTER BIDEN. ASK JOE BIDEN'S ROLE IN THAT, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT IS. WE NEED TO HAVE OPEN HEARINGS IN PUBLIC, BECAUSE IF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WHEN HE WAS VICE PRESIDENT WAS DOING THE BIDDING OF FOREIGN ACTORS, THAT'S UNPRECEDENTED IN THIS COUNTRY. AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW. YOU'VE TO JOE BIDEN ON VIDEO JUST A FEW YEARS AGO BRAGGING ABOUT WITHHOLDING A BILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF LOAN FORGIVENESS TO UKRAINE AFTER HIS SON WENT ON THE BURISMA BOARD. THEY BROUGHT HIS SON ON TO FIX THE LOCAL PROSECUTOR PROBLEM. JOE BIDEN GOES TO UKRAINE AND SAYS WE'RE WITHHOLDING -- THESE ARE HIS WORDS -- WE'RE WITHHOLDING THE BILLION DOLLARS UNLESS YOU FIRE THE PROSECUTOR. DAVID: YEAH. AND SON OF A GUN, THEY FIRED THE PROSECUTOR. [LAUGHTER] TO PARAPHRASE WHAT THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF HAS SAID ABOUT THAT. BUT JUST VERY QUICKLY, SHOULD THERE BE AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY NOW? DO WE HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO BEGIN AN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY? >> ABSOLUTELY. THERE SHOULD BE AN INQUIRY. WHETHER YOU CALL IT AN INQUIRY OR YOU CALL IT AN OVERSIGHT HEARING OR PROCESS, WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT, THE AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW WHETHER OR NOT THEIR PRESIDENT'S A CROOK. DAVID: SENATOR, VERY QUICKLY, I WANT TO SWITCH TO A FINAL ISSUE WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU CARE A LOT ABOUT, THE FACEBOOK FILES, SO-CALLED, REVEALING THAT THE GOVERNMENT ACTUALLY WANTED FACEBOOK TO CHANGE ITS WHOLE ALGORITHM SYSTEM TO FOCUS ON LEFT-WING CAUSES INCLUDING CLIMATE CHANGE, BY THE WAY. THEY THOUGHT THERE WASN'T ENOUGH CENSORSHIP GOING ON, THEY THOUGHT THERE SHOULD BE EVEN MORE ON CLIMATE CHANGE. AND DEMOCRAT SENATOR CHRIS COONS TALKED TO THAT POINT IN CONGRESSIONAL HEARINGS BACK IN 2020. ROLL TAPE. >> I URGE YOU TO RECONSIDER THAT BECAUSE HELPING TO DISSEMINATE CLIMATE DENIALISM, IN MY VIEW, FURTHER FACILITATES AND ACCELERATES ONE OF THE GREAT GREATEST EXISTENTIAL THREATS TO OUR WORLD. DAVID: HE ACTUALLY WANTED MORE CENSORSHIP THAN WHAT WAS GOING ON. [LAUGHTER] HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THIS? >> WELL, I THINK THIS CAME TO LIGHT, THE LAWSUIT THAT I FILED, MISSOURI V. BIDEN, WAS THE OPENING SALVO HERE WITH THE TWITTER FILES, NOW FACEBOOK FILES. AND WHAT'S VERY CLEAR, IT'S OBVIOUSLY -- OBVIOUS, THAT GOVERNMENT ACTORS COERCED THESE BIG TECH SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. WE'VE GOT THE MAKE SURE THIS NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN. THAT'S WHY I FILED THE CENSORSHIP ACCOUNTABILITY ACT THAT ALLOWS AMERICANS, CITIZENS, TO I SUE INDIVIDUAL GOVERNMENT ACTORS, OFFICIALS IN THE ADMINISTRATIVE STATE FOR VIOLATING THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. WE CANNOT HAVE THIS IN THIS COUNTRY, DAVID, WHERE PEOPLE'S SPEECH IS BEING SILENCED. AND BY THE WAY, YOU COMBAT SPEECH YOU DON'T LIKE WITH MORE SPEECH. YOU DON'T CENSOR IT. AND SO THE PLAYBOOK WAS SET WITH COVID, THEY'RE MOVING ON TO CLIMATE ALARMISM NOW. AND AGAIN, IF YOU DON'T PARROT THE REGIME'S NARRATIVE, THEY'RE GOING TO SHUT YOU DOWN? WE JUST TALKED ABOUT SOVIET-STYLE TACTICS, SO HERE WE GO AGAIN. I THINK IT'S AN IMPORTANT TIME TO PUSH BACK. DAVID: AND IT ALL CONNECTS WITH THE JACK SMITH INDICTMENT BECAUSE THAT FOCUSES ON WHETHER THE PRESIDENT HAD THE RIGHT TO SAY -- JACK SMITH KIND OF INTUITING WHAT WAS IN THE HEAD OF TRUMP, WHETHER HE BELIEVED IT WAS A LIE. I MEAN, IT'S JUS
