out Adam Schiff basically had a mental
0:39
breakdown on television today and a lot
0:41
of Democrats and even some establishment
0:43
Republicans have been having the same
0:45
mental breakdown but this this is
0:47
personal for Adam Schiff see he helped
0:50
craft legislation that President Donald
0:53
Trump just thumbed his nose at that
0:56
legislation says that the president has
0:58
to inform congress with within 30 days
1:01
or 30 days prior to firing inspector's
1:05
General well this weekend Trump fired 18
1:08
inspectors General and he fired them on
1:10
the spot he said they were corrupt they
1:13
weren't doing their jobs they were
1:15
partisan and An Inspector General is
1:17
supposed to be independent now I am not
1:20
here to adjudicate that I'm not here to
1:21
even argue Trump's case I don't know the
1:24
details that he knows I know nothing
1:26
actually about what these attorneys
1:28
gener uh these inspector ctor generals
1:30
have done or what they're accused of by
1:33
Trump I don't think any of us do right
1:35
now and that's why uh Republican senator
1:37
Grassley said he wants some details
1:40
about why this was done which I think is
1:43
reasonable but I think you have to know
1:46
that there are some inspectors General
1:48
that have abused their position for
1:50
partisan purposes I've seen it with my
1:53
own eyes they pick and choose who they
1:55
go after and that's not what An
1:57
Inspector General is supposed to be well
1:59
Adam shiff he helped create the
2:02
legislation that says the president has
2:04
to report to the Congress 30 days prior
2:07
to firing these people and Trump didn't
2:09
do that the problem is shiff when you
2:12
actually wrote the legislation there's
2:14
no enforcement mechanism in it there's
2:15
no if you don't do it then we do this it
2:18
doesn't exist so in this interview
2:21
Schiff is just flinging ideas against
2:23
the wall about how it could possibly be
2:25
enforced but with the Republican
2:27
Congress none of it's going to happen on
2:30
to see him have this breakdown and let
2:31
me know what you think in the comments
2:33
finally Senator I have to get your take
2:35
on President Trump's decision to fire 18
2:39
inspectors General I just had this
2:41
conversation with Senator Lindsey Graham
2:44
in legislation which actually you
2:47
originally sponsored presidents have to
2:49
give a 30-day notice to Congress that
2:52
they are going to do this you heard
2:54
Senator Graham just say technically he
2:55
may have violated the law by not
2:57
notifying Congress is there anything
3:00
that Congress can do about this decision
3:02
by President Trump there's a lot that we
3:04
can do and I have to say as someone who
3:07
introduced the protecting our democracy
3:09
act which was designed in part to
3:10
protect inspector generals to write off
3:14
this clear violation of law by saying
3:16
well it technically he broke the law
3:17
yeah he broke the law and not just any
3:20
law but a law meant to to crowd out
3:24
waste Fraud and Abuse uh and yeah the
3:26
remedies Congress has we have the power
3:28
of the purse we have the power right now
3:31
to confirm or not confirm people uh for
3:34
cabinet positions that control agencies
3:36
or would control agencies whose
3:37
inspector generals have just been fired
3:40
and let's remember in his first term um
3:44
he fired An Inspector General for
3:46
providing whistleblower complaints to
3:47
Congress fired An Inspector General for
3:49
saying that pandemic response his
3:52
response had flaws um the American
3:55
people if we don't have good and
3:57
independent Spector generals are going
3:59
to see the swamp refill they're going to
4:02
see rampant waste fraud they're going to
4:05
see corruption uh it may be the
4:07
president's goal here when he's got a
4:09
meme coin that's making him billions is
4:12
to remove anyone that's going to call
4:14
the public attention to his malons all
