RUSH EXCERPT:COBB: "Well, I don’t know why he would compare himself to Nixon. I think Nixon is not highly regarded by history, even even Republicans by 2 to 1 have a negative view of Nixon. So I think it’s I think it’s very odd. And the only revival of the Nixon discussion that I’m aware of is people, you know, talking about how Nixon was threatened with impeachment. And keep in mind that the articles had been drafted, the house was prepared to pass those articles of impeachment, and the Senate was prepared to convict Nixon, which Barry Goldwater and others went down Pennsylvania Avenue to advise Nixon and Nixon in an honorable act, resigned and left the office in shame. But. But at least he. He acknowledged the circumstances and left. Here you’ve got a president, you know, who’s who’s ability to accept responsibility is not to be seen. Nobody’s. nobody’s ever seen him admit a mistake or acknowledge an error, and certainly would never admit to wrongdoing that that we’ve seen the Nixon articles of impeachment to were, you know, for impeding an investigation into the Watergate burglary and the second article of impeachment in that case was Nixon’s use of the government to target his enemies, the FBI, the CIA, and the IRS in specifically. And here we’ve got an FBI and an IRS that have targeted have targeted Trump’s enemies. You know, they’re prosecuting Comey. The first case against Comey was dismissed by a judge, just as the Letitia James case was dismissed. The Jerome Powell case was thrown out, you know, by judge pirro conceding that it was a purely political exercise when Thom Tillis refused to move forward with the replacement of Mr. Powell’s successor at the Federal Reserve. So I think there are there are certainly parallels between Trump and Nixon in that regard. And two of the articles of impeachment that were voted down or not passed by the house. In the Nixon case, one involved emoluments and another involved tax evasion. And certainly with Trump, you know, he doesn’t have to worry about tax evasion because Todd Blanche has immunized him from tax evasion, his own personal lawyer as the head of the as the head of the government. So I do see parallels between Nixon and Trump. But but comparing Nixon to Trump in terms of what they could be impeached for is like comparing a jaywalker with a serial killer. I mean, Trump’s corruption, you know, let’s just start, let’s say any with a $1.8 billion that he and blanche wanted to take from the American taxpayers to create the slush fund. You know, the $400 million qatari plane, the $500 million from the uae. In exchange for our most sensitive trips they invest in in in a Trump run company. You’ve got the crypto issues the coins from the White House the watches $750 million in recently reported stock trades involving many of those trades involving government contractors. Then you’ve got the Justice Department going after Trump’s people who have crossed Trump in the past, like Comey and James and and others. And and the pardons being sold, the pardons of major drug dealers and and billions of dollars cumulatively of swindlers, you know, who who get out of the obligation to make restitution. So I think, I think the for blanche, the race Nixon was a strategic error. And it certainly doesn’t make historical sense when you when you take a look at at the comparisons and keep in mind, you know, I mean, I don’t know what blanche has to do with Nixon because Nixon was he was he brought title nine into play in implementation and increased affirmative action within the government, you know, brought brought. He was an environmentalist. He he he he passed he passed so much legislation that, you know, starting with the national environmental protection act, the endangered species act and others. And, and he was an internationalist devoted to, you know, empowering NATO and empowering our allies, but trying to bring in other countries like China. So let me show you a comparison."
