Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and former
0:04
President Donald Trump has just dropped a bombshell on Mr. Jack Smith, the
0:09
special prosecutor who's taken it to him in Washington DC and in Miami. Before we
0:15
get started please make sure you like, comment, share, and subscribe. Those little
0:18
things really help us out and they help our channel continue to grow. So the
0:22
former president was actually interviewed by a kind of I guess she's his frenemy, Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News host and there was some really
0:30
hard-hitting questions in this interview. I advise you to go to Megyn Kelly's
0:34
either Twitter page or YouTube page and watch the whole thing. But there's a
0:39
particular clip here that I want you to see where Trump basically destroys Jack
0:43
Smith's case in my opinion. Now you're gonna have to take a look at it and decide for yourself but he's asked about the classified documents and why he had
0:51
them. This is the answer he gave. Some argue that criminal or not you behaved
0:57
irresponsibly with our national security documents. For example we've all now heard the audio tape of you post-presidency showing third parties
1:08
some sort of document that you're describing as secret. Allegedly it was a
1:12
Department of Defense Mark Milley plan to attack Iran. Now this is at a meeting
1:16
right here at Bedminster where we are now. You later told Brett Baer in an interview that you had no document that day only newspapers and magazines. But we
1:25
hear you on the tape. We hear you saying quote look this was him. This was the
1:29
Defense Department and him. It's highly confidential. This is secret. This was
1:33
done by the military and given to me as president. I could have declassified it
1:37
now I can't. This is still a secret. Now why would you describe a newspaper
1:42
article as highly confidential and still a secret saying as president you could
1:46
have declassified it but now you can't. Let me just say something. Number one I did
1:51
nothing wrong because I come under the Presidential Records Act. The fascists
1:56
who are going after me and they're not going after Biden even though he has about ten times more documents maybe more than that he has documents going
2:02
back 40 years or 50 years. We did nothing wrong. I come under the Presidential
2:08
Records Act. I'm allowed to have these documents. This was done in 1978 and this
2:14
was done for exactly this reason. I'm allowed to have these documents. The
2:19
other side didn't even mention that. They don't even mention the words Presidential Records Act. The Presidential Records Act is very
2:26
important. Bill Clinton took out in his socks it's called the socks case where a
2:30
very respected judge very liberal judge but a very respected judge ruled in
2:36
favor of Bill Clinton that he was allowed to take these very important documents conversation with conversations with world leaders took it
2:43
out in his socks and they found them in his sock draw and they call it the socks
2:48
case. Other people too. We come under the Presidential Records Act. Now who doesn't
2:53
is Mike Pence doesn't because he was a vice president and he has a much higher
2:58
standard. Joe Biden doesn't because he was I mean he was a vice president at
3:04
the time and he was a senator. He's got thousands of documents as a senator and
3:10
even I watched a couple of Democrat senators say very strongly there's no
3:15
way he took that out from the scale. He's got documents and he's fighting
3:19
them like crazy. I come under the Presidential Records Act. Now I agree
3:24
with him I think the Presidential Records Act covers it and I think that you know he's within his rights or was within his rights to have these records
3:32
Still Jack Smith and the Democrats they don't believe so. They believe this is
3:37
a crime and a lot of them said that during this interview with Megyn Kelly
3:41
Trump essentially admitted to a crime. I respectfully disagree. I think that what
3:45
he did was he presented his defense and I think it's a strong defense but I do
3:50
want to know what you think so please let me know in the comments. Also please
