CHRIS ALEXANDER (CO-HOST): What about Jack Smith, Joe? What about Jack Smith?

JOE HOFT (THE GATEWAY PUNDIT): What a — he should be hung, don't you think? I mean, he's so rotten. It's so bad

DANIELLE WALKER (CO-HOST): Yeah

HOFT: He's rotten. He's been doing — you know, he — there was a senator years ago that he took down. Do you remember that? It was under Obama. I think Obama's first year, there was a Republican senator out of Alaska they made a bunch of lies about. He eventually, I think, got either kicked out or resigned, and that gave Obama a 60-40 Senate, or he could push through with whatever he wanted. And Jack Smith was behind that takedown, and the guy died. And then he — they found out, no, he didn't do anything wrong

ALEXANDER: Yeah

HOFT: And that was Jack Smith so —

WALKER: How evil. How evil
