Full Episode
Remember during the campaign when Donald Trump was on the state regime media known as Fox and Sean Hannity said this to him and this is how Donald Trump responded? Let's play it.
Those that want people to believe that you want retribution, that you will use the system of justice to go after your political enemies. So, number one, they're wrong. It has to stop because otherwise we're not going to have a country. Look, when... This election is over based on what they've done. I would have every right to go after them.
They're wrong. But after this election, I would have every right to go after them. So in the past two weeks, what's Trump done? Well, he's been doing it more than that, though.

But so if Donald Trump, these are bad people who
Who are the good people for Donald Trump? Here he talks about the political prisoners and heroes who he's there to help. Let's play it.
Please convict me. Don't say that. I pardoned hundreds of political prisoners who had been grossly mistreated. We removed the senior FBI officials who misdirected resources to send SWAT teams after grandmothers and J6 hostages.
