DIERDRE BOLTON (HOST): He was the first in the spotlight after sticking up for Donald Trump's contributions to vets. Then the secret service questioned him at the RNC for saying that Hillary Clinton should be “shot for treason,” over use of a private email server.
[...]
Al, great to have you here. You have had have an intense a few weeks. Did you have to re- assure Secret Service you're not planning to harm anyone physically? Specifically, Hillary Clinton?
AL BALDASARO: Nobody actually talked to me at the convention. it was -- I called on the phone. when I got home to the Secret Service here in New Hampshire. I was in the same hotel with all the Secret Service, and Donald Trump. Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing when you quote the law. You know, the US Code and the Constitution.
BOLTON: Well, as a vet, we do take your perspective a little bit more seriously perhaps than just somebody who hadn't served. But do you have second thoughts about the comments that you made?
BALDASARO: No. Why would I have second thoughts? Because what she did with the e-mails with agents, special -- you know, DEA, or Secret Service, or FBI agents that are in other countries, that could've been my son on that e-mail, who's in the Marines, who served in Iraq. If those e-mails got in the wrong hands, like they said her emails were hacked, she knowingly had those on a private server. And my opinion, as a military man, I speak for myself as a veteran, as a state representative. That's treason. That's aid and comfort to the enemy. What don't the liberal media get when I said that?
BOLTON: Alright, it's a fair point. But obviously there are many who would say “Listen, she went and she answered questions in front of Congress, and the matter is settled.”
BALDASARO: She's above the law. The matter may be a settled with the FBI and the protection from Obama, and the Attorney General, but the American people are smarter than you think. I hear it all the time in my district, they said “Al, you say things that I only wish I could say.” So, I stand by what I said. I never said she should be assassinated. What I said be -- she should go in front of the firing squad for treason. What that means to the slow people is that you gotta be found guilty.
BOLTON: Alright.
