1:181 minute, 18 secondsInterpreted. Let’s now bring in political strategist and the host of the Grassroots Truthcast podcast, Gan Valentino. Gan, want to get your
1:261 minute, 26 secondsthoughts. What do you make of all of this?
1:291 minute, 29 secondsWell, thanks for having me. And it’s always uh it’s always bothersome to me to hear this standard being applied as
1:381 minute, 38 secondsif um there’s some uh backdoor exit strategy for these people. You know, I used to be a county commissioner and a polit an officer of government myself.
1:481 minute, 48 secondsand uh it doesn’t give me an out. It means I’m held to a higher standard.
1:541 minute, 54 secondsIt’s called fiduciary capacity. And in the case of Mr. Comey, the reckless
2:012 minutes, 1 secondexcuses I’m hearing in the news are um are a punt on is attempt on his part to punt away from the real wrongdoing that
2:102 minutes, 10 secondshe’s he’s been involved with. Look, his vitriol and his hate for Donald Trump goes long before sea shells in the sand.
2:182 minutes, 18 secondsEveryone can see it. And now he just got caught in the act and the evidence hopefully will speak for itself and will
2:262 minutes, 26 secondsbe adjudicated in a court of law based on the evidence.
2:312 minutes, 31 secondsDo you think that evidence is going to rise to the level, and not that I’m a lawyer or that that you are either, but I’m still going to ask you, uh, intent
2:382 minutes, 38 secondsis the burden of proof, if you will, for the Department of Justice. Uh, it seems to me that proving intent is going to be a challenge. How do you see that?
2:472 minutes, 47 secondsWell, intent is a challenge and yes, it it may be difficult and after all for them to make char bring charges against
2:542 minutes, 54 secondsComey. Uh we’ve learned already that they seem to have more up there in their bag of tricks than they’re bringing
3:023 minutes, 2 secondsforward in the press. But again, to my first point, Terrence, it’s called fiduciary capacity. You should know
3:093 minutes, 9 secondsbetter. You’re held to a higher standard. It’s important that you behave extraordinarily
3:183 minutes, 18 secondsuh uh well and more careful when you’re in office and and to breach that just makes you more of a um a target. Yes.
3:293 minutes, 29 secondsBecause you should know better. And I think we’re going to see something on this issue if he gets away with it. How
3:363 minutes, 36 secondsdoes the America What do the American people really think? Do you really think uh this this Comey liked Donald Trump?
3:463 minutes, 46 secondsDo you really think the uh activities going back to the Hunter Biden laptop
3:523 minutes, 52 secondswere um were should have been all those people who signed off on that document should have given uh should have been
4:004 minutesgiven a pass for their complicity. It’s not just about Comey. about a pattern in the Biden administration and a vile
4:094 minutes, 9 secondsattempt to take out a president of the United States. And under our nose right now is a third attempted assassination
4:194 minutes, 19 secondsfrom the uh White House correspondents dinner. and and and I it’s it seems to
4:264 minutes, 26 secondsbe an accepted pattern that needs to be stopped in its tracks with consequences
4:334 minutes, 33 secondsmuch more egregious, much more severe than would happen to the ordinary Jane Q, John Q public.
4:424 minutes, 42 secondsFederal agents also raided uh multiple sites in Minnesota, including these child care facilities as part of this sweeping fraud investigation. The FBI
4:514 minutes, 51 secondsalong with federal, state, and local law enforcement, executed 22 search warrants across that state. Authorities say the
4:584 minutes, 58 secondsprobe targets alleged fraud involving taxpayer funded programs, including child care and other social services.
5:065 minutes, 6 secondsOfficials have released really pretty many few details, but uh say the investigation is ongoing and is part of
5:135 minutes, 13 secondsa multi- agency effort to combat fraud overall. Um, I just want to see people go to jail. That’s what the American
5:215 minutes, 21 secondspeople want to see with the fraud. We just want to see people go to jail right now. I mean, we’ve got Nick Shirley that uncovered this initially. Now he’s in
5:295 minutes, 29 secondsCalifornia uncovering massive uh voter fraud going on there. I don’t know if I’m more concerned though about the fact
5:385 minutes, 38 secondsthat nobody out there does investigative journalism anymore except this 23-year-old kid, Nick Shirley. Um, or if
5:465 minutes, 46 secondsI’m more concerned that nobody ever actually seems to pay a price for any of it.
5:515 minutes, 51 secondsWell, that’s the issue. The last point you made, who’s who’s paying a price for the wrongdoing? What penalties do we
5:585 minutes, 58 secondshave in place? Whether it’s specifically in in your arena, my arena of of business, journalism,
6:066 minutes, 6 secondsor or free speech areas, um, in the media in general, where is this? Where are the standards? Where are the
6:146 minutes, 14 secondsstandards that say, “Hey, your right to speak now went too far. Your speak and
6:226 minutes, 22 secondsyour report just offended and hurt another person.” When does free speech get interpreted to become actionable?
6:336 minutes, 33 secondsIs there an action that should be taken against, I hate to say it, you and I,
6:386 minutes, 38 secondsfor going too far with commentary that hurts other people? And when we hurt other people, what are the consequences
6:466 minutes, 46 secondsto them? Let alone what legally may come to us. New York Times versus Sullivan,
6:526 minutes, 52 seconds1968. The courts ruled public figures and elected officials are basically uh
6:596 minutes, 59 secondsnot protected for the legal actions brought um uh are protected, I should say, for the legal actions brought
7:077 minutes, 7 secondsagainst them by those they that uh that have been injured. But it’s now proven to have gone too far. And I think we’re
7:167 minutes, 16 secondsgoing to we need a constitutional amendment or the industry must self prot self self uh govern itself like the
7:247 minutes, 24 secondslabar association does like the electrical union does these other uh professions or trades. What in the media
7:347 minutes, 34 secondsexecutes a penalty against the guy sitting next to us for going too far?
7:417 minutes, 41 secondsThere is none. And your right to free speech has to be tempered. Now, I’m a free speech advocate and and and
7:487 minutes, 48 secondsnothing’s going to screw with that from my point of view. But bad behavior is bad behavior. And when you go too far,
7:557 minutes, 55 secondsyou should and intend to hurt other people.
7:597 minutes, 59 secondsMy words, there’s got to be consequences for that.
8:028 minutes, 2 secondsYeah, there has to be consequences. Has to be accountability. Gene Valentino, thank you so much for your insight.
