Glad you're with us. 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,200 Speaker 1: Right down our toll free telephone number. It's eight hundred 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: and nine four one sean if you want to be 5 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,600 Speaker 1: a part of the program. So I took down all 6 00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:18,440 Speaker 1: my social media. I have no access to Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, 7 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 1: and all I do is when I want to do it, 8 00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: I send it. Ze Linda or somebody on my TV 9 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: show tweet this out. So let's just be super clear. Yeah, 10 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,200 Speaker 1: you still have a Twitter account, you still have a 11 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Facebook account, you still have an Instagram account. You just 12 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 1: do longer post to it. Do that for you. Do 13 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: I have any passwords to any of those accounts? No, 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: we took those away from you. He took them away 15 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: from me. All right, everyone took away And by the way, 16 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,880 Speaker 1: buy my request is taken too much of my time. 17 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: I stay up late at night getting in fights with 18 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel and wasted my time with him. So anyway, 19 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: saying all of that, I have friends. They've been texting 20 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: and sending messages all day about what's going on in Minneapolis. 21 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: Did you see the size of the crowd outside this 22 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: arena the only seats I think nineteen thousand, three hundred. 23 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: Linda found out yesterday and the mayor is apparently, you know, 24 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: they tried to shut this down. They tried to almost 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: shake down the Trump campaign is like, oh, you gotta 26 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: pay five hundred thousand dollars now, Rows, We're not going 27 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: to let you have your rally. Okay. They never did 28 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: that with Obama or any other Democrat. Why would they 29 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: do that to Donald Trump? Because that's I guess who 30 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: they are. And then they are trying to keep the 31 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 1: press away from the people in the lines because the 32 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: press might interview people that would say good things about 33 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. The fact that people have been waiting there 34 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: some overnight apparently or tried to and moist stop. But 35 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the line began in earnest at you know, six seven 36 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: am this morning and people, I mean, the line is massive. 37 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,279 Speaker 1: And what's what's hilarious is that there was one report 38 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: I have no idea of, not confirmed this, you know, 39 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: one of the hashtag magas soda. I thought it was 40 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: pretty funny on Twitter. People on Twitter are clever, smart, 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: They're gound be mean and vicious and horrible too, But 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: it is funny. Some of the stuff that even the 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 1: stuff that they write about me that's horrible. It is 44 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: funny if you have a sense of humor. Anyway, long 45 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 1: story short here is the lines are massive. I mean, 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at pictures now and that's like as far 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: as the eye can see. I mean, and it's like 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: a rock concert. We're gonna check in Lawrence Jones, we 49 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,959 Speaker 1: sent there. We have other people that are friends of 50 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the show that are gonna be calling in throughout the program. 51 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,839 Speaker 1: We'll check in with them too. And all I can 52 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 1: tell you is, oh, and there was one report. I 53 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 1: have no idea if it's true that the mayor wanted 54 00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: to take away the porta potties to make people uncomfortable, Well, 55 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 1: what happened? You take away the porta potties, They're gonna 56 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: be what urinating in the streets like in Nancy Pelosi's district. 57 00:02:54,639 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: Defecating in the streets. Unbelievable. We've got that. I really 58 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: want to dig down deep into everything that is now 59 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: going on with the Democrats. Will get to that too. 60 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Two other stories though, that we're going to hit in 61 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: the course of the program later on with Jonathan and 62 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Danielle is One is you know, the NBA literally just 63 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: bowing before the altar of China. And you know here's 64 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: you know, NBA players have no problem tweeting out comments 65 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: that are negative to Donald Trump, and the NBA commissioner 66 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: has no problem doing that either. And now you've got 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: money involved, real money apparently, like one point eight billion 68 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: dollars for the NBA. And Jason Whitlock was amazing from 69 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: Fox Sports one on Hannity last night and he laid out, Wow, 70 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: look at this. It's bigger than the NBA. It also 71 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: has to do with Nike. I mean, he gave this 72 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 1: whole theory of his which I found fascinating, none of 73 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: which I would have been able to come up with myself. 74 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: But now there, you know, he's encouraging the NBA commissioner coaches. 75 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: You know it's fine to rail against Trump. You know, 76 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: it's fine to promote radical groups, which has happened by 77 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: some players. And he instituted a gender quota for referees 78 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: and declared progressive code words diversity and inclusion in core principles, 79 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 1: and you know, it goes on and on. And there 80 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: was a great piece by Miranda Divine at the New 81 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: York Post today and Silver is proud in using the 82 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: position to push you know, social justice, anti Trump politics. 83 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: But if you're gonna stand up to, you know, or 84 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: stand for something like the Houston Rockets basketball boss by 85 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 1: the name of Daryl Morey exercising his free speech rights 86 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: and he tweeted support or the people of Hong Kong 87 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: and their pro democracy protests, fight for freedom, stand with 88 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: Hong Kong. Okay, you wouldn't think that's a big deal, 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: but apparently in the face of China belligerently their reaction 90 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: to this, and the m BA just capitulating to all 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: of this. You know, I'm to the point where Maury's 92 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: regretable sentiments that had deeply offended many of our friends 93 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: and fans in China. What Okay, if the Houston Rockets, 94 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: you know, boss wants to tweet support for freedom, liberty 95 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: and the independence movement in Hong Kong, good for him. 96 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: But apparently you can in the NBA. So we'll get 97 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: to that in the course of the program. Today, I'm 98 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: reading this story about Matt Lower. I am I am shocked. 99 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: Now it's amazing the front page New York Post. Now 100 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: there's two tabloids in New York. One of the New 101 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,559 Speaker 1: York Posts. The other is the New York Daily News. 102 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: The Post more conservative, by the way, the same company 103 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,239 Speaker 1: that owns Fox News. And then the New York Daily 104 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: News is very liberal. Not fans of Sean Hannity. But 105 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,119 Speaker 1: that's fine. It's just like the Washington Post tates me. 106 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: If he didn't think the New York Times hates me, 107 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: just look at the picture they put on the cover 108 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: of the New York Times Sunday magazine of me. I've 109 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: never seen anyone look that bad in my entire life, 110 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, reading newspapers. That was pretty funny though. But anyway, 111 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: the headline today shock claim and new book, big letters, 112 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: Matt Lower raped me, and it goes on NBC anchor 113 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 1: he responded to this all lies, We had a consensual affair. 114 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: And then when you get to the body of the article, 115 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 1: which is inside the paper, you know you got two 116 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, you know, basically a full page on this 117 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: whole thing about this Roman Pharaoh book. He's the one 118 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: that brought down Weinstein. Anyway, you know, she is claiming 119 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 1: that he violently raped her in Sochi and at the 120 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: Olympics in Russia in twenty fourteen, and Matt Lowers, defending himself, saying, well, 121 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: the story Brook tells is filled with false details intended 122 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: to create the impression this was an abusive encounter. There's 123 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:07,480 Speaker 1: no evidence that law enforcement was ever contacted regarding this 124 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: case that I have read anywhere. Yet, you know, she's 125 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: saying it wasn't consensual, that it was non consensual, and 126 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: I mean, she's describing a very violent incident here. And 127 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,200 Speaker 1: he's saying that they went on beyond that to have 128 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: an extramarital affair. But it started in his hotel room 129 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: one late night in Sochi, and she's saying that she 130 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: and Lara went on to have more sexual encounters. So 131 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: they both admit that they had this relationship thereafter. And 132 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 1: I it's like everything else, I don't know how, I 133 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: don't know what to believe. I cannot tell you anything 134 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: but the things that they both agree on, which is 135 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: they've had an affair after the incident. But I don't 136 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:50,640 Speaker 1: know what happened in that room that night in Sochi, 137 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: and I don't I don't know how you ascertain the 138 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: truth of it. Now. Apparently she had told people at 139 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 1: the time, so that would benefit and support her side 140 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: of this. He's denying it, and I don't know how 141 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: you ever get to the truth. I do know this 142 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: that I think we've all learned a lot, and I've 143 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: told this lesson many times on the program that I 144 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: learned in Atlanta with the Richard Jewel case. This is 145 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: in remember the Summer Olympics nineteen ninety six. I'm local 146 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: on air in Atlanta, Georgia and at the home of 147 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: the official Olympics news radio station. All right, That's that's 148 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: where I was. Anyway, the story breaks and by every account, 149 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: you got this security guard, Richard Jewel, is the hero, 150 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the AJC, the Atlanta Journal 151 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: Constitution comes out with now he fits the profile of 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: the lone bomber. After all, he lives with his mother. 153 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: And I'm on the air reading this and I'm like, so, 154 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,079 Speaker 1: what he lives with his mother doesn't make him a terrorist, 155 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: doesn't mean he bombed anybody. Now, long story short, The 156 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: rest to the media just turns on this guy, and 157 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: they rushed to judgment, as they usually do. That's where 158 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: I first got to meet Lynn Wood, who I think 159 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: is one of the finest, probably him and Charles Hart 160 00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 1: of Finest Libel Slander attorneys in the country and Lynn 161 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,079 Speaker 1: Wood ends up getting a fortune for Richard Jewel. He 162 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: said on this program he thinks Richard Jewel, who died 163 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: at forty four, died because of all the stress associated 164 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: with this. But the bottom line, as it turned out, 165 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: the guy was a hero. The guy didn't do anything. 166 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 1: The guy saved lives that day, but they rushed to judgment. 167 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 1: We saw this most recently with Nicholas Sandman. You know, 168 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: here's the black Hebrew Israelites are verbally assaulting this group 169 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: of kids. He's got a maga hat on. Then you 170 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: have a Native American by the name of Nathan Phillips 171 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: who's banging on a drum. There's some protests they were 172 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: involved in, and then the media runs with, oh, look 173 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,080 Speaker 1: at him, he was intimidating the Native America, and oh 174 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: they said racist things. When we when you had the 175 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,079 Speaker 1: whole tape, which we had much more that the media 176 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: could have gone on, they ran with, this kid's a racist, 177 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: This kid, you know, was in tip trying to intimidate 178 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: Nathan Phillips. They ran with, you know, all sorts of 179 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,360 Speaker 1: things when just the opposite was true. And when I 180 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: first interviewed Richard Jewell. He told me that, you know, 181 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,120 Speaker 1: I was listening to you when you were the only 182 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: one ever ever that questioned this narrative because I didn't 183 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 1: know the answer. Just like with thelur story, I have 184 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: no idea what to make of that. I don't know 185 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: the answer. I'm you know, everyone wants to tell you 186 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: they got the answer. I don't have it. But that 187 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: lesson when he told me that, it kind of shook me, 188 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: and it taught me a valuable lesson. Now there's a 189 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: reason that we've been right on Duke Lacrosse. Remember the 190 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: ninety professors, you know, taken out a full page ad 191 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: in the paper convicting those kids. I actually didn't rush 192 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: to judgment there either. I took the time to go 193 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: out and meet the kids and the parents, some of 194 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: the kids and families, and I got this side of 195 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: the story. Remember when Ferguson Missouri happened. I had people, 196 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 1: my sources that were telling me that knew in law enforcement, 197 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 1: that knew the truths. And there are eyewitnesses that confirm 198 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: everything Barren Wilson has said, and that will come out 199 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: the rest of the media. They created the expectation what 200 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,359 Speaker 1: the result was going to be same thing in Ferguson, 201 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, the same thing in Baltimore, the Freddie Great case. 202 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: There was an expectation those six cops were going to 203 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: jail early on. I knew the real story because I 204 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: did my own work. I didn't rush to judgment when 205 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 1: they rushed the judgment with Nicholas Salmon. I mean, just 206 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: it's so glaring because the kid handled everything perfectly. Then 207 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 1: you can add Cambridge police to the issue. Then you 208 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: could add Treyvon and Zimmerman to the issue. They thought 209 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: they had that right. Then you can add they never 210 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: vetted Obama. Then you can add that they never thought 211 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: Trump could win. Then you could add the Russia witch hunt. 212 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: They were so sure that they were going to get 213 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: Trump on that. Now it's downs the Ukraine coup attempt. 214 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: It's the same thing now. Or Justice Kavanaugh. Another example, 215 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: I remember when Michael Avanati was accused, I guess by 216 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: his girlfriend. There were three separate investigations going on, and 217 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: I remember saying on this programming on TV, I have 218 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: no idea what happened here, but I'm gonna give Michael 219 00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:43,479 Speaker 1: Avanati that which he never gave Justice Kavanaugh, the presumption 220 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: of innocence and the right to do process. And I'm 221 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: not backing off that because it's worked out well for 222 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: us and we end up always being right. Had the 223 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: media get Russia Russia Russia wrong? Wrong, wrong? Because the 224 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: media it's so toxic. I mean, they just they don't 225 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: care about truth facts, which is lead me into the 226 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,360 Speaker 1: commentary I want to get into on the latest about Ukraine, Ukraine, 227 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: Ukraine unbelievable. So we got all that coming up today. 228 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: All right, eight hundred nine for one. Sean told free 229 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 1: telephone number. Right, Jeff is in Minnesota, says, so you 230 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: live near where this rally is? Is that true? Yeah? 231 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: Actually I live in Invergrol Heights, which is a sub 232 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 1: I was down there and there is a lot more 233 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: people than what I think you have reported for sure. 234 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: I mean you go out to a two block radius 235 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,839 Speaker 1: and there's got to be six to eight thousand people 236 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: milling around. Okay, so you go out there. What time 237 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: did the crowd start getting big? Because I'm seeing these 238 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: social media pictures they are huge, and I'm also let's 239 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: say it probably started early in the morning. Yeah, before 240 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 1: by the way, so the mayor tried they first tried 241 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: to shake down the Trump campaign for money, and then 242 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 1: they didn't want police officers wearing uniforms. And you know, 243 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: and now they heard they took away porta potties. What 244 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 1: can you say to that? Well, as I know is 245 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 1: they put like there was only two porta potties for 246 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: thousands of people, and they put it in an area 247 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 1: that they knew that was going to be shut down 248 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: at a certain time because of the security reason. So 249 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: I feel, in my opinion and others that are around here, 250 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: they did that on purpose. Yeah. Listen, nothing that mayor 251 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: of yours would do would surprise me. What's so amazing 252 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: is just how stunningly, you know, overtly they do it. 253 00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: I mean, they literally tried everything they could do to 254 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: make sure this rally does not happen tonight. That's what 255 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 1: they do. Well, if it was a Democrat, it would 256 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: be way different. Yeah. Yeah, and Obama's And that's all 257 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: you have to do is look, the last time when 258 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: Obama was here, they charged him a fraction of what 259 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: they were doing for here. I think it was reported 260 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: that it was only twenty thousand dollars. And they've bent 261 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: over backwards and now they're saying that you know, they 262 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: don't want uniform cops or and it was near there 263 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: as far as if they're inside the rally, but there 264 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: was uniform police department all over inside for that. Let 265 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 1: me ask you a question. When you're looking at the people, 266 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 1: what are they doing? Are they nice? They like talking 267 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 1: to each other, They're they're fighting. That's your name is 268 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 1: not Jeff, real quick, Jef? Well, Linda, you're right. I mean, 269 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,280 Speaker 1: right now, they're just basically just knowing around. There's different 270 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: signage all over the place. They're tailgating, They're having fun. 271 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: That's what they're doing. We're up on a break, is 272 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: why I had to interrupt.

And you know the thing 306 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: about Minnesota is that they have indoor walkways as well 307 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: as outside. Is they've taken up all the indoor walkways 308 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,480 Speaker 1: and get outside. It's wrapped around as well.

So you know, you've given 323 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,160 Speaker 1: me a lot of experience to talk with the American 324 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 1: people and talk about what they are thinking. I say, 325 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:32,400 Speaker 1: you know a lot of the people in the media, 326 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: they don't do that. They try to project how they feel. 327 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: They don't feel the same way as the people in 328 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: the studios in New York. It's amazing. Did you get 329 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 1: I was told by I saw on social media not 330 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: being able to confirm maybe you know the answer to it. 331 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 1: We had a caller from Minnesota that lives nearby and 332 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: was down by the rally that apparently the mayor now 333 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 1: the mayor, you know, the city wanted at the last 334 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: minute for the Trump campaign the pony up five hundred 335 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 1: grand and which they never did for any other presidential candidate. 336 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: Then they said about a week ago that police officers 337 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: can't wear their uniforms to the rally. Then I just heard. 338 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's true. And that's why I'm asking, 339 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,600 Speaker 1: did they really remove the porter potties? Now so close 340 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: up to the building, the poorer potties are there? The 341 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 1: really the place of the porter potties, They're no longer 342 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,919 Speaker 1: there where they were before, but closer by the building. 343 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: They are there. It is true about the law enforcement 344 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: not being there. And by the way, the people in 345 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 1: the rally, every time you see the cops go by, 346 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: they are just cheering so loud. But the all duty 347 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: cops that typically go to these events were able normally 348 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 1: able to wear the uniforms. The police chief and mayor 349 00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 1: have barred them from wearing their uniform only there on 350 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 1: duty cops. So all duty cops end up making their 351 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 1: own T shirt. And you see them, the cops for 352 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: Trump and their teachers. A great guys. I think some 353 00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: of them are even on my security detail today helping 354 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: us out here. Let's go to Tricia's Lawrence. Stay right there, Tricia, 355 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: where are you at this moment? Right now? I'm actually 356 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: inside the venue, but all day long, I've been up 357 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: and down the walkways and outside, and I can tell 358 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: you they did remove the porta potties of many of them, 359 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: and they placed them on the opposite end of where 360 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 1: the line began. So you literally have to walk about 361 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: two miles to get to the first porta potty that 362 00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: you see, and there are a very few porta potties 363 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: to begin with to support this crowd. And then the mayor. 364 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: I'm told by the people in line that turned up 365 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 1: the heat in the skywalk. It's miserably hot in there. 366 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: He's trying to make it as uncomfortable as a miserable 367 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: as he possibly can. Now, how many are you with, 368 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 1: like a large group of people indoors and the indoor 369 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: hallways leading into the arena. Yes, I've been in and 370 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 1: outside of the arena, walking up and down the line 371 00:20:57,720 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 1: all day long. It's actually since. Yeah, why don't you go, 372 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I want you to do. Why 373 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: don't you walk near a big crowd and we'll put 374 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: you on hold and tell them that. Sean Hannity's on 375 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: the line on his radio show, wants to say hi 376 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 1: to everybody? And how long will it take you to 377 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 1: get to the like where a crowd is Give me 378 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: about two minutes. I just got it. Okay, all right, 379 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: you gonna do that. I got it. I got it, 380 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: Lawrence Jones. So where are you specifically located right now? 381 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: Let me guess you're in the hotel room comfortably, you know, 382 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,240 Speaker 1: ordering up a cheeseburger for lunch. I'm not comfortable. I 383 00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: just got back to the hotels. I can take just 384 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 1: call them because you know, these Trump supporters many they 385 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: let you know how they're feeling about the issue. But 386 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: she's right. I don't know what they did to the 387 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 1: air condition or whatever daya they did, but it's extremely 388 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: hot in the facility of where all these people. I mean, 389 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: you know, I've been to a lot of these Trump 390 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: rallies for you shot. Typically all the people are waiting 391 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,080 Speaker 1: outside and you see them lap around the building. Well, 392 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,640 Speaker 1: because of how Minnesota is, they have the skywalks where 393 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 1: people can line up in there, so all of that 394 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: is stilled up, and then you have the people looped 395 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: up outside that are in line waiting to get to 396 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 1: the skywalks to get into the facilitage. And it's hot inside. 397 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: I mean I was drifted in sweat inside, and then 398 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: outside is cold and the rain is going on and off, 399 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 1: on and off.

That's when I first 456 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 1: got into the conservative libertarian movement. And the Trump people 457 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:55,960 Speaker 1: are just like the tea Party media is that I 458 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: used to join, And that's doing a period of time 459 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 1: where I thought all the Republican when I used to 460 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,159 Speaker 1: be a living for racist and these people want to 461 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: hug you, They want to hey, can we go get 462 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: a drink? Just loving people. Uh.

There's the reason why I have 468 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: to travel with a security detail, now, Sean, is that 469 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,119 Speaker 1: because these people are vicious people. Uh, you know, I 470 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,919 Speaker 1: grew up in a tough environment, so I know I 471 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: can take them.

You're so funny you get I met you 496 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: at a Missouri actually I remember you gave me. That 497 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: was at Cape Girardo. You gave me the book Maye. 498 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: She came up to me from behind, and there was 499 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 1: a bunch of people there. They heard me talking and 500 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: one of the camera guys who was local there, Union guys, 501 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 1: and he goes, oh my god, dear Linda, and I 502 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:18,920 Speaker 1: said yeah, and he goes, I recognize your accent. He goes, 503 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm a been listening to the show. I say, oh, 504 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: thank you so much. He goes, you gotta meet this 505 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,600 Speaker 1: lady over here. She's got a book. I said, oh, 506 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: who doesn't. He goes, No, really, she's got a book 507 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: and it's filled with all of Trump's tweets. I'm like, 508 00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,639 Speaker 1: that's kind of incredible. So I went over. Trisha was 509 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: there at a husband. They're super sweet, super nice, you know, 510 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: and we just got to talking and we stay in 511 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: touch because you know, she's you stay in touch with everybody. 512 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,800 Speaker 1: Linda talks to everybody, you know. I'm just looking at 513 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: this and it does warm my heart. I mean, you 514 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 1: see what is going on in this country. This is 515 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: just the latest attempted coup attempt. You know. I'm reading 516 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: an article that just came out and I'm like, how 517 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 1: does this happen to our country? The headline on foxnews 518 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 1: dot com newly declassified court documents reveal FBI FISA violations 519 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 1: targeting Americans, and then Devin Newness and John Solomon on 520 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,760 Speaker 1: TV last night apparently they were surveiling John Solomon were 521 00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: reporting on Ukraine. Now, what you're saying is very alarming 522 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 1: to me. I have three people now that have told 523 00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,240 Speaker 1: me that they believe there is evidence that shows government 524 00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:25,480 Speaker 1: resources we use to monitor communications. In one case, a 525 00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: journalist that is a regular on this program with the 526 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: name John Solomon. Have you heard that, Congressman. Well, what 527 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: I've heard, and I want to be clear, there's I 528 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: think there's a there's a difference. What I've heard is 529 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: that there were strange requests, irregular requests to monitor not 530 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: just one journalist, but multiple journalists. Now, perhaps that was okay, 531 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,920 Speaker 1: Perhaps there was some reason for that that it can 532 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,600 Speaker 1: be explained away. But that's what we that's what we know, 533 00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,920 Speaker 1: and that's what we're going to be looking into. Great, 534 00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:58,800 Speaker 1: this is the country we live in. Let's let's let's 535 00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,880 Speaker 1: impeach the president elected by the people, and let's weaponize 536 00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: the powerful tools of intelligence to do it. And let's 537 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: use a Russian dacier as a means of spying on 538 00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 1: the president. Then we'll use foreign intelligence allies of ours 539 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: to do the spying that would be illegal to do here, 540 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: and we'll outsource it to circumvent laws. And when Russia Russia, 541 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: Russia doesn't work, we'll just go to Ukraine when there's 542 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,560 Speaker 1: no issue. I'll be honest, I you know there are 543 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 1: days that I in my heart, I don't know if 544 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: we can even save this country from this madness. It's 545 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: gotten so corrupt, the media is so corrupt, the deep 546 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 1: state is so corrupt. You know, in all the years 547 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,920 Speaker 1: I've been doing this, and there's a lot thirty one. 548 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: I never believed it could be this bad in this country. 549 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 1: I always thought checks and balance it. I don't know anymore, 550 00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: but there is. According to what we're getting on the screen, 551 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 1: there's a little bit of what you might call now 552 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: a breaking tweet from the President who says that tomorrow 553 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 1: they will release a transcript of the Zelensky call. So 554 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 1: my question to you is, if you see that transcript 555 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,800 Speaker 1: and it is more benign than we've been led to believe, 556 00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,720 Speaker 1: will you do you think that your caucus might stand 557 00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: down a little bit or do you think that the 558 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: caucus is at a boil right now? I mean, you're 559 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,080 Speaker 1: going to find out now. It's not about that. This 560 00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,400 Speaker 1: is about the Constitution of the United States. And we 561 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,880 Speaker 1: have many other shall we say, candidates for impeachable offense 562 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: in terms of the constitution moves in, but this one 563 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: is the most understandable by the public, and it's really 564 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 1: important to know this. It is there is no requirement 565 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,840 Speaker 1: there be a quid pro quote in the conversation. If 566 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: the president brings up who wants them to investigate something 567 00:31:53,880 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: that's of his political opponent, that is self evident that 568 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,040 Speaker 1: it is not right. We don't ask foreign governments to 569 00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 1: help us in LESSI that's what we'll try to stop this. 570 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: Russia's wrong. Yeah, but the problem is, oh yeah Clinton 571 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: did it, and oh yeah Obama did it, and well 572 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 1: there was no quit pro quo and it doesn't matter 573 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,840 Speaker 1: what the interpretation of any Oh, let's see whistleblower that's 574 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,440 Speaker 1: not a whistleblower has to say on it. And then 575 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: she goes on to say at one point, remember Nancy 576 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: Pelosi announcing this before we ever saw it, or did 577 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,200 Speaker 1: she because Adam Schiff apparently was working with the non 578 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: whistleblower whistleblower Anyway, our two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred 579 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 1: and nine for one, Sean told free telephone number speaker 580 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:49,960 Speaker 1: Pelosi that the Democrats this is just what they wanted, 581 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: which is why I played the montage that from yesterday 582 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: on TV. It starts two days after he's elected two 583 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: and it never ends joining us. Now, former Speaker of 584 00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,800 Speaker 1: the House New Gingrich is with us. And by the way, 585 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 1: he has given me an early copy about Nancy Pelosi 586 00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 1: saying she's playing checkers and Trump's playing chess. How are 587 00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: you well? I said, but that's not even true. Nancy 588 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: Pelosi's playing solitaire. And the reason I say that, I 589 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,000 Speaker 1: want to him to say, I don't think you count 590 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,160 Speaker 1: play tick tack total. And the reason is pretty simple 591 00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: that you have all this effort right now to keep 592 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: the leaker which is the right term for the whistle blower, 593 00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: to keep the leaks INNT wants to blow anything. He 594 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 1: had no evidence firsthand of anything. So he's just a 595 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,000 Speaker 1: Lincoln's plowing all of the way in which the deep 596 00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,760 Speaker 1: state tries to destroy Trump. So the Democrats are going 597 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:52,720 Speaker 1: to all this effort to keep this guy secret. Well, 598 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: if they were to pass the impeachment of the sign 599 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:58,920 Speaker 1: in the House, it goes to the Senate, and Lindsey 600 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: Graham as the challenge duiary communities already say it. He's 601 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,600 Speaker 1: going to bring this guy in in public under oath, 602 00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 1: reminding that the perjury means you can go to jail. 603 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 1: So it's kind of like they're not thinking about Act two. 604 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,680 Speaker 1: And I think the Democrats in that sense of just 605 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 1: in such a frenzy that they have lost their minds 606 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: about how this is going to work, and they've forgotten, 607 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,279 Speaker 1: you know, that it's not a one step game, and 608 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: that the following steps are all bad for them. You know, 609 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,279 Speaker 1: I'm watching all of it, and even Ben Sasas is 610 00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: always critical of the president, said it's a you know, 611 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,960 Speaker 1: a partisan clown show. What's interesting to me watching this 612 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: as an outsider, is well, you've been through this. You 613 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,520 Speaker 1: were speaker when there was Independent Council. That statute then 614 00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: changed to the Special Council. But there were eleven specific 615 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,880 Speaker 1: indictments that were put forward by Ken Starr in his 616 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,439 Speaker 1: final report. It's not like that this got hold out 617 00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: of nowhere. And when you set up the conditions in 618 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,320 Speaker 1: your particular case for the Democrats, the minority at the time, 619 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:15,360 Speaker 1: to deal with issues, well, you were fair. There was 620 00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,760 Speaker 1: a full vote of the House. Correct me if I'm wrong. 621 00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,440 Speaker 1: You also allowed all sorts of let's see every single 622 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 1: He gave every single opportunity for them to present their 623 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: case as well, did you not, Well, okay, we followed 624 00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,360 Speaker 1: the same principles that had been established by Peter Rodino, 625 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,360 Speaker 1: a Democrat, in nineteen seventy three during Watergate, and we 626 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: did it very deliberately. Henry Hyde was Chamber of Judiciary. 627 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,279 Speaker 1: He worked so well with John Conyers at that time 628 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:51,400 Speaker 1: that in their opening hearing, Conyers said this is the 629 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,200 Speaker 1: most bipartisan process he had ever been through in his career. 630 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:59,479 Speaker 1: Dick Gephart, the Democratic Leader, joined me in a press 631 00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 1: con for to say that we had mutually agreed to 632 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,879 Speaker 1: publish Star's entire report so the American people could see 633 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,920 Speaker 1: what Star was saying. I mean, there was a real effort, 634 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,479 Speaker 1: based on how they had handled Watergate, to make sure 635 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: that the country could see that this was more than 636 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 1: partisan politics. And in some of the early votes we 637 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 1: got two out of every three Democrats voting with us. 638 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: So I think it's very different from the way Pelosi 639 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,520 Speaker 1: is trying to handle it, and I think most of 640 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,799 Speaker 1: what she's doing, frankly, will end up backfiring on her 641 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,400 Speaker 1: because the average American is going to see clearly that 642 00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:39,799 Speaker 1: it's not fair, it's not being done in an appropriate way, 643 00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:44,360 Speaker 1: and as a result, I think that the country the 644 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: longer this goes on, the more the country will realize 645 00:36:48,120 --> 00:36:51,359 Speaker 1: that it's phony, which is exactly what happened last year 646 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: with Kavanaugh, where initially people said, well, well that's true, 647 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: Well going to turn out it was. And Trill and 648 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: I think all these polling members have the same kind 649 00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 1: of effect if it was all true, if the New 650 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,880 Speaker 1: York Times in the Worship Post for an accurate you'd 651 00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,920 Speaker 1: be in one world. But as this goes on, you'll 652 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: discover I think that that's not where we are, and 653 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,960 Speaker 1: as a result, the case to the Democrats will just 654 00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:20,799 Speaker 1: keep decaying. I look at Siboloni's letter. I thought it 655 00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,880 Speaker 1: was a brutal takedown that he's sent to Pelosi, shiff 656 00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:30,919 Speaker 1: and some others and calling what they are doing unconstitutional, invalid, baseless. 657 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: And I see a lot of reasons for this. I 658 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: think it's very obvious. Number one, they never accepted the 659 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,480 Speaker 1: results of the twenty sixteen election. You and I have 660 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:44,240 Speaker 1: discussed that many times. After four separate Russia Trump investigations 661 00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:49,520 Speaker 1: culminating with Robert Muller, no collusion, no obstruction, they are 662 00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 1: even more unhinged because they had put everything banked on 663 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,360 Speaker 1: that completely as the way to take out the president. 664 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,600 Speaker 1: That didn't work out particularly well. And you know, Thirdly, 665 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,520 Speaker 1: I think al Green kind of telegraphed the real feelings 666 00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,359 Speaker 1: that they have, which is they don't think they can 667 00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:10,040 Speaker 1: beat Trump. But what they're doing here is they don't 668 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,080 Speaker 1: want to have a vote in the House and put 669 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: everybody on record. I think that's a big problem, and 670 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 1: instead that what they're doing in this particular case, A 671 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:23,839 Speaker 1: Sippoloni said, down, and this is designed and implemented. They're 672 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:27,080 Speaker 1: doing this in a manner that violates all fundamental fairness, 673 00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 1: constitutionally mandated due process. In this process, they're denying the 674 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:35,319 Speaker 1: president the right to cross examine witnesses, to call witnesses, 675 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:39,320 Speaker 1: to even receive transcripts of testimony, to have access to evidence, 676 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: to have counsel present, other basic fundamental guaranteed rights for 677 00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 1: all Americans. That would violate every aspect of constitutionality, rule 678 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,640 Speaker 1: of law, and past precedents. And you were involved in 679 00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:58,880 Speaker 1: a past precedent, that's right, didn't Let's lets just start 680 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: with the right to know who this leaker is. Because 681 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,799 Speaker 1: there was a procedure used for about one hundred and 682 00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,880 Speaker 1: fifty years called a star chamber, and the British government 683 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,479 Speaker 1: used it, and you could be pulled into that room. 684 00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: He had no idea who was accusing you of what 685 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: they were accusing you of, what the evidence was, and 686 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,040 Speaker 1: the government's judges could put lock you up for thirty 687 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 1: years and you had never had a chance to find 688 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: out what the case was well in sixteen forty one, 689 00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: that's abolished. And when the founding fathers were right in 690 00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:35,040 Speaker 1: the Constitution, they were very aware of the danger of 691 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,040 Speaker 1: not being allowed to face your accuser, and so they 692 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: clearly wanted assistant that was fair and that gave people 693 00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:46,399 Speaker 1: the right to protect themselves. And what the Democrats are 694 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 1: doing right now it can only be described as crazy. 695 00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:52,560 Speaker 1: I mean, they believe that somebody can make a charge 696 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 1: that will be used to overturn the American people's choice 697 00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: of president, and that person can do it in secret 698 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 1: without being challenged. There's no precedent in American system anywhere 699 00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:12,359 Speaker 1: for that kind of one side in process, and it's 700 00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 1: going to fall down on its own. Wait, and of 701 00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:18,920 Speaker 1: course they put all this under Adam Schiff, and even 702 00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:23,479 Speaker 1: the Washington Post gave Adam Schiff four pinocchios for playing 703 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,799 Speaker 1: out lying. Now, you know, if you're a liberal Democrat 704 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: and you get four pinocchios from the Washington Post, you 705 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,840 Speaker 1: know you're doing something really wrong. And I think Shift 706 00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:37,839 Speaker 1: in that sense is the worst possible person for them 707 00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 1: to put in this kind of situation, because in the end, 708 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:44,040 Speaker 1: nobody's going to believe him. Look, you've called this that 709 00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:46,760 Speaker 1: I agree with you. I'm using the same term a coup. 710 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 1: Everything that they've done I literally played. I don't know 711 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: if you saw the montage, if you go to my 712 00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 1: Twitter account, we posted it. But they have said impeach 713 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,279 Speaker 1: and peach and peach all throughout two days, starting two 714 00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:02,719 Speaker 1: days after Rump was elected, all through twenty seventeen, all 715 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,160 Speaker 1: through twenty eighteen, now all through twenty nineteen. This has 716 00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 1: been their ward and Nancy Pelosi when she announced the 717 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,920 Speaker 1: day before we even knew about what was in this, 718 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 1: this conversation with the president and the President of Ukraine. 719 00:41:16,239 --> 00:41:18,919 Speaker 1: We find out there's nothing. There's no there there, there's 720 00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:22,440 Speaker 1: no quid pro quote, there's nothing that well, we have 721 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,080 Speaker 1: many options to impeach him. I mean, I've never I've 722 00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:30,759 Speaker 1: never witnessed anything like this, considering the level of lawlessness here. 723 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: You know, Rachel Peterson is my chief researcher, and for 724 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 1: the last week she's been going back and the stuff 725 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: she spounds unbelievable. The first wave of get rid of 726 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 1: Trump rallies is on the ninth of November, the day 727 00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: after the election. By mid December, Vanity Fairs running a 728 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:57,440 Speaker 1: call an article about the impeachment movement, and on the 729 00:41:57,520 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: day that Trump is sworn in at his inaugural, the 730 00:42:00,360 --> 00:42:03,560 Speaker 1: Washington Post has an article on the Democrats planning to 731 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: impeaching them. So the thing, that's why I called us 732 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:10,560 Speaker 1: a coup. This is an effort by left wing Democrats 733 00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:14,480 Speaker 1: to overturn the American people's choice in who the president 734 00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,759 Speaker 1: should be. It has no basis in any kind of reality. 735 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,600 Speaker 1: And that's why I think Pelosi was still revealing when 736 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,359 Speaker 1: the reporter said to her, well, what if this doesn't work, 737 00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,120 Speaker 1: and she basically said, we'll find some other reasons. But 738 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,200 Speaker 1: as I said a while, the challenge she's dot is 739 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:35,359 Speaker 1: after they're done playing their partisan clowns. He has been 740 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,040 Speaker 1: SAS's line in the House, it's going to go to 741 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 1: the Senate. And the more that they behave as really 742 00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:46,960 Speaker 1: partisan clowns, the less likely it is that the Senate 743 00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 1: is going to take whatever they seriously. So in a 744 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:56,040 Speaker 1: very real sense, they're underminding their very own case. All right, 745 00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:58,160 Speaker 1: As we continue, former Speaker of the House New King 746 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:02,080 Speaker 1: Richie has rightly identified with the Democrats are doing as 747 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:06,479 Speaker 1: a latest coup attempt. All right, so let's walk through 748 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,240 Speaker 1: this in your mind Okay, if if they're not going 749 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,360 Speaker 1: to offer the president due process, they're not going to 750 00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:15,040 Speaker 1: have an up or down vote because they want to 751 00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:19,240 Speaker 1: protect the forty Democrats that are in Trump won districts 752 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,560 Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen, and they're just going to push it 753 00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:27,000 Speaker 1: through anyway. Let's assume that they are successful. Okay, goes 754 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:30,520 Speaker 1: to the Senate, it dies, Boy Sean, think of at all. 755 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 1: You just said, Oh, I'm aware of what I just said. 756 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,000 Speaker 1: It's insane. No, I'm just you know what I'm saying. 757 00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,239 Speaker 1: The fact that they're avoiding a vote on the process 758 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: doesn't save those members because in the end, they're going 759 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,680 Speaker 1: to have to get to a vote and do take 760 00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: somebody like like Peterson, who represents northern Minnesota in a 761 00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,880 Speaker 1: district where Trump won by thirty points. And if Peterson 762 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: comes in and votes to impeach, he might as well 763 00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:01,880 Speaker 1: not run for reelection. And so I mean when I 764 00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:07,080 Speaker 1: said the other day that you can drive through impeachment 765 00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:10,680 Speaker 1: if you're prepared to commit suicide. But that's what that's 766 00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: what she's doing. She is setting up her majority to 767 00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: become a minority because she is putting member after member 768 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: in a position. Now it could be that when the 769 00:44:20,880 --> 00:44:24,600 Speaker 1: backlash builds enough, and I must say, the Trump campaign 770 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,840 Speaker 1: team and the Trump White House, uh and Rona McDonald 771 00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:30,680 Speaker 1: over there and see are all doing a good job 772 00:44:30,680 --> 00:44:34,120 Speaker 1: of building a backlash. Um, it could well be that 773 00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,520 Speaker 1: at that point it just peters out and they don't 774 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:39,600 Speaker 1: get to a vote. But at that point that they're 775 00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,440 Speaker 1: going to look pretty stupid though all the wapp they're 776 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,960 Speaker 1: all made all these strong announcements and then they're going 777 00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:49,319 Speaker 1: to slink away and never ever vote. I think in 778 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 1: some ways that could be amazingly constructive for them. What 779 00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: do you think it's gonna be. Do they back down 780 00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:56,759 Speaker 1: or they go through with it? I would argue they're 781 00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:58,799 Speaker 1: going to go through with it. I think I think 782 00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,359 Speaker 1: they have to go through with it. I'm just so 783 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:04,279 Speaker 1: sooner or later. Nancy polos He was going to say 784 00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:08,640 Speaker 1: to all of her marginal members, Genie, I really hate 785 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: to do this to you, but you got to get 786 00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:13,959 Speaker 1: up there and vote. And all of her marginal members 787 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: are going to be told if you don't vote, yes, 788 00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:18,359 Speaker 1: we're going to find somebody in the primary and we're 789 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: going to beat you in the primary. And so I 790 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:23,120 Speaker 1: think she can coerce a majority out of the House. 791 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,520 Speaker 1: But in the process, m I think that they will 792 00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,960 Speaker 1: be just they'll be wrecked as a party you combine 793 00:45:30,239 --> 00:45:33,480 Speaker 1: the left wing proposals of their candidates. I mean, the 794 00:45:33,719 --> 00:45:37,359 Speaker 1: other day, Biden, in a moment of typical irrationality, came 795 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 1: out at the gay and lesbian well. He just said, 796 00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:46,120 Speaker 1: he said, you know, I think people should be able 797 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: to identify themselves and if guys want to go to 798 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,120 Speaker 1: the women's prisoners should be allowed to. Now, I think 799 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,840 Speaker 1: that's probably a losing issue, and I'd like to see 800 00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: the twenty fifth year of the contract a new contract 801 00:45:57,120 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 1: promises to America, and this needs to be a nationally 802 00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,319 Speaker 1: run election by Republicans. We'll talk about that next time. 803 00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,200 Speaker 1: New King Rich former Speaker of the House Hannity dot Com. 804 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 1: Mister Speaker has always thank you for being with us 805 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,520 Speaker 1: when we come back. Governor Scott Walker, the important swing 806 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: state for twenty twenty Wisconsin. Where does Donald Trump stand 807 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:20,359 Speaker 1: say against Elizabeth Warren? That's next, all right, twenty five 808 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,319 Speaker 1: till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine 809 00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 1: four one, Sean. If you want to be a part 810 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,279 Speaker 1: of the program so much, you know, coming out of 811 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:30,520 Speaker 1: as we've been talking to people on the ground in 812 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota and the big rally of the President tonight. I mean, 813 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, pretty funny stuff. I don't know, I just 814 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 1: look at Twitter. This is this is not stuff we're reporting, 815 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:44,400 Speaker 1: but stuff that people are saying out to you know. 816 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 1: The crowd is massive, has been massive. Apparently they're trying 817 00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: to bar people reporters from interviewing the people in line, 818 00:46:55,080 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: you know, the smelly Walmart shoppers like me, the irredeemable, deplorable, 819 00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:04,759 Speaker 1: and so obviously there's there's that component of it. They 820 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,520 Speaker 1: tried to shut it down ahead of time. And I 821 00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:13,479 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, it's apparently massive turnout that's going on there. 822 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,720 Speaker 1: Maybe we all ought to call it Maga sodas somebody 823 00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:20,640 Speaker 1: said on Twitter, which was pretty funny. And anyway, people 824 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,319 Speaker 1: camped out like all these Trump rallies overnight, got there 825 00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:28,359 Speaker 1: at seven am, you know, thousand people in line. Then 826 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:34,320 Speaker 1: the only holds nineteen thousand, three hundred people and maybe 827 00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 1: there's one report that they might have even taken away 828 00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,080 Speaker 1: the porta potties. That's pretty desperate. That's pretty mean too. Anyway, 829 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 1: it all comes down to we are almost a year 830 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,799 Speaker 1: out of what I think will be a tipping point 831 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:50,239 Speaker 1: election by far in the country. Assuming now that this 832 00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:54,640 Speaker 1: is the Democratic side, it's Elizabeth Warrens to lose. Okay, well, 833 00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:57,319 Speaker 1: look at her positions on everything. Well, you don't have 834 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:00,759 Speaker 1: to pay back your student debt rate to care for all, 835 00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:05,000 Speaker 1: no private insurance, great, new green deal, get rid of 836 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:09,759 Speaker 1: oil gas, the combustion engine. Great, you're gonna get free 837 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:16,600 Speaker 1: pre K daycare, healthcare, free college, everything's free, guaranteed job, 838 00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:20,040 Speaker 1: healthy food, and retirement whether you're willing or unwilling to work. 839 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: And eventually planes in cows. They go to versus what 840 00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,560 Speaker 1: the president has been doing and offering and the promises 841 00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:32,439 Speaker 1: he's kept. One state that will define November election night 842 00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:35,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty is the great state of Wisconsin. And joining 843 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:40,040 Speaker 1: us now is the former governor. That's state. Scott Walker 844 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,480 Speaker 1: is with us. And by the way, he's been fighting 845 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:47,120 Speaker 1: on issues involving balanced budgets and fiscal sanity and letting 846 00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,280 Speaker 1: the states have more control, which I've always believed in. Governor. 847 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,680 Speaker 1: How are you. It's great to talk to you, oh, Sean, 848 00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. It's a pleasure. I'm doing 849 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,759 Speaker 1: well and I know you're doing well. In America's doing 850 00:48:58,800 --> 00:49:01,239 Speaker 1: always got to keep it going. Well. Well, I think 851 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:06,000 Speaker 1: that's true, all right. You know Wisconsin as well as anybody. 852 00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: I remember before twenty sixteen, I talked to a lot 853 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,360 Speaker 1: of people that know your state that were telling me 854 00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,399 Speaker 1: Trump had no chance to win, and he did. Where 855 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: do you think he stands at this moment because I 856 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,200 Speaker 1: don't think he's a particularly I don't think he's that 857 00:49:19,320 --> 00:49:23,359 Speaker 1: politician that you can poll with any particular amount of accuracy. Oh, 858 00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:25,680 Speaker 1: I think you're exactly right, John. I think it is 859 00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,520 Speaker 1: going to be a title action. Remember he carried the state, 860 00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 1: which was the first time or Republican I carried it 861 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:34,120 Speaker 1: since Reagan did in nineteen eighty four. He carried it 862 00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,959 Speaker 1: with a plurality that didn't get fifty percent, but got 863 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 1: more than Hillary Clinton. And I think it's going to 864 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,800 Speaker 1: be that close again. If the facts get out, it 865 00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:45,239 Speaker 1: should be a blowout. But as it is across America, 866 00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,560 Speaker 1: we know that there are mini media outlets out there 867 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,000 Speaker 1: that keep the voters from the facts, that the stort 868 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,719 Speaker 1: the facts are just outright why out there. But I 869 00:49:52,719 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: think it's going to be incredibly close. A poll this 870 00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 1: week from Fox News actually said he was down by 871 00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:02,800 Speaker 1: nine points. I remind people that day if it's a 872 00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 1: Fox poll that you know, Dick Morris looked into the 873 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:10,440 Speaker 1: internals of this the questions prior to the impeachment question 874 00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 1: were you know, a negative towards Trump and number two 875 00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: there were forty eight you know percent of respondents were Democrats, 876 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:21,880 Speaker 1: only forty Republican. I mean, well, right, seean And the 877 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,600 Speaker 1: kicker of this is where my point is that the 878 00:50:24,719 --> 00:50:28,560 Speaker 1: days before the twenty sixteen election, a Marquette University Law 879 00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:32,280 Speaker 1: school poll in the state was pretty historically fairly reliable 880 00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: show Hillary Clinton winning by six points. Obviously she lost 881 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,879 Speaker 1: the election. I think it is always true in our 882 00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:42,080 Speaker 1: state the Republicans poll lower than Democrats. I think it 883 00:50:42,239 --> 00:50:45,919 Speaker 1: is multiplied by Donald Trump because part of the reason 884 00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,919 Speaker 1: Republicans don't respond is they get tired of getting beat 885 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,160 Speaker 1: up by the media and posters for supporting Republicans. I 886 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: think it's even more true of this president, and so 887 00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: I think it is close. But on the other hand, 888 00:50:57,200 --> 00:50:59,880 Speaker 1: I would mourn those who, like myself, support the president. 889 00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 1: We cannot take it for granted because Wisconsin the key 890 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,000 Speaker 1: say you gotta win Wisconsin to win the president. Well, 891 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:08,040 Speaker 1: I agree with that, And you know, I look at 892 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 1: the jobs that have been creative. Now I'll speak generally. 893 00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:15,640 Speaker 1: I see the people of Wisconsin as as the heart 894 00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:19,440 Speaker 1: and soul of America. The people that work hard, played 895 00:51:19,440 --> 00:51:23,319 Speaker 1: by the rules, pay their taxes, contribute to society, raise 896 00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:29,200 Speaker 1: their kids, and they are what makes America great. They 897 00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:33,480 Speaker 1: are They're not attracted to the swamp the sewer that 898 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:37,279 Speaker 1: would be New York City or DC or San Francisco 899 00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:41,960 Speaker 1: or Los Angeles. Now here the president we you know, 900 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:45,040 Speaker 1: the last eight years before President Trump got in an office, 901 00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,879 Speaker 1: we had thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight 902 00:51:48,920 --> 00:51:52,080 Speaker 1: million more in poverty, We had the worst recovery since 903 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: the forties, the lowest labor participation rate since the seventies. 904 00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,440 Speaker 1: Now we got seven million fewer people on food stamps, 905 00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:04,799 Speaker 1: millions out of poverty, seven million new jobs, energy independence, 906 00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,080 Speaker 1: and a president that's fighting for better trade deals that 907 00:52:07,120 --> 00:52:11,319 Speaker 1: will greatly impact particularly farmers and dairy farmers in the 908 00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: great state of Wisconsin. So I think all of that 909 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:16,640 Speaker 1: would be good for Wisconsin. To the people of Wisconsin 910 00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: see that, or are they going to fall prey to 911 00:52:20,080 --> 00:52:22,799 Speaker 1: the media perceptions on the president. Well, I think it's 912 00:52:22,840 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 1: as split as it's ever been. People who get the facts. 913 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:27,880 Speaker 1: I always tell people, take your thumb and put it 914 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,799 Speaker 1: over the name of the person I'm talking about, which 915 00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,520 Speaker 1: is exactly the list you rat it off. If I 916 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,400 Speaker 1: pointed out, not only is unemployment the lowest in America, 917 00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:38,959 Speaker 1: it's been in roughly fifty years. In Wisconsin, it's never 918 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,040 Speaker 1: been lower than it's been the last year and a half. 919 00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 1: It's been consistently added below three percent, which was the 920 00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: previous all time low. You see record low unemployment levels 921 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:53,200 Speaker 1: for African American, Latino American, people with disabilities, veterans in 922 00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:56,640 Speaker 1: this country. We see in Wisconsin, just as we see 923 00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,279 Speaker 1: nationally more job openings than we actually have people to 924 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,480 Speaker 1: fill them. Ages are up. The economy is heading in 925 00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,560 Speaker 1: the right direction. And a prime example, Sean, you mentioned 926 00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:08,400 Speaker 1: that trade deal. You know, one of the biggest controversies 927 00:53:08,440 --> 00:53:11,640 Speaker 1: I think that doesn't get covered is why Speaker Pelosi 928 00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,719 Speaker 1: is sitting on this trade deal that the President negotiated 929 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:16,799 Speaker 1: with Mexico and Canada that would help me only dairy 930 00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: farmers in Wisconsin across the country and manufacturing workers. But 931 00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,960 Speaker 1: we can't get Pelosi to get up and vote on 932 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,040 Speaker 1: it because she knows it'll pass if it gets voted on. 933 00:53:25,440 --> 00:53:27,320 Speaker 1: But they don't want to give this president a victory. 934 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,680 Speaker 1: That is how shallow they have been becoming. Washington and 935 00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,480 Speaker 1: the American people got to fight back. Well, I agree. 936 00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,840 Speaker 1: Look stylistically, I'll take Paul Ryan for examples, and I 937 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,600 Speaker 1: know he's a good friend of yours. Paul Ryan does 938 00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: not like Donald Trump's style. Now, I've had this conversation 939 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:46,799 Speaker 1: with Mitt Romney. I said, you know, Mit, I said, 940 00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 1: I understand, you're a great guy. You're not a New 941 00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:54,200 Speaker 1: York real estate mogul who wakes up in the morning 942 00:53:54,239 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 1: and fights every day. You know, but they still when 943 00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,239 Speaker 1: you ran for president, they tried to paint you as 944 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 1: a racist and a misogynist and a sexist and a 945 00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,279 Speaker 1: homophobe and everything in between. They did the same thing 946 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:08,960 Speaker 1: that John McCain. The only difference is Trump fought back. 947 00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:12,480 Speaker 1: But everything Mitt Romney ran on, Well, the President's putting 948 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 1: originalists on the court. He gave us the biggest tax 949 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,120 Speaker 1: cut in history. The president also got rid of more 950 00:54:18,160 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: bureaucracy than every president in the past hundred years. He's 951 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 1: building the Wall. He delivered on trade deals with Japan, 952 00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: Western Europe, Canada, Mexico, and he's trying now with China. 953 00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:35,680 Speaker 1: I mean, so, why do I establish Republicans hate um? Well, 954 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:39,280 Speaker 1: he put the embassy in Jerusalem, as everyone else had promised, 955 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:40,799 Speaker 1: but only he had the guts to do. He's the 956 00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 1: most pro life president in modern American history, including even 957 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: more so than the guy I idolized, Ronald Reagans. He 958 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,479 Speaker 1: had done it all. And one of the things stron 959 00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:53,200 Speaker 1: you'll appreciate this. I love seeing newly here in Wisconsin, 960 00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:56,760 Speaker 1: but across the nation, and that is Washington is filled 961 00:54:56,920 --> 00:55:00,279 Speaker 1: with politicians who say and talk the right way, but 962 00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,759 Speaker 1: don't do squad On occasion, this president might say or 963 00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 1: tweet something somewhat different than I had a lot of 964 00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,960 Speaker 1: people have been Westwood. But you know what, I'll take 965 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,959 Speaker 1: that because he actually gets the job done. I'll take 966 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: that over people who talk right but don't get the 967 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,560 Speaker 1: job done. We got a president who gets the job done, 968 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,760 Speaker 1: and we need to remind our fellow citizens, our neighbors 969 00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:21,360 Speaker 1: or friends, the people we worship with that's the only 970 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:23,279 Speaker 1: way he's going to win this election. That's the only 971 00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:26,319 Speaker 1: way to count the onslaught of attacks. And believe me, 972 00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:28,080 Speaker 1: we know it. We saw it here in Wisconsin. You 973 00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,319 Speaker 1: covered it. You know what we faced. We had. How 974 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: many elections did you have and how many years? Because 975 00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:37,440 Speaker 1: they were after you every day they were. They actually 976 00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: registered a website domain name called recall Scott Walker dot 977 00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: com on the day I was elected at twenty ten. 978 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: I can absolutely relate to the president. They've been trying 979 00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,239 Speaker 1: to impeach him since they wanted it. Didn't matter what 980 00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,040 Speaker 1: it was. I mean, Mike Goodness, as you've covered, Nancy 981 00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,600 Speaker 1: Pelosi hadn't even read the transcript before she announced it. 982 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:56,120 Speaker 1: This is what we're up against here in Wisconsin, across 983 00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 1: the nation, people who care not just about themselves, but 984 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:02,080 Speaker 1: care about their kids, their grandkids in future generations. I 985 00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,719 Speaker 1: got to stand up because we cannot let whether it's 986 00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Laurren or Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders or any 987 00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,359 Speaker 1: of the other socialist or want to be socialist out 988 00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:12,600 Speaker 1: there control of this country, because they will set us 989 00:56:12,600 --> 00:56:15,440 Speaker 1: back so far. Let me ask the direct question you're in. 990 00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:19,320 Speaker 1: Let's assume I'm right, and it's Elizabeth warrens to lose. 991 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: It's Trump versus Warren. Look and assume for a minute too, 992 00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:26,080 Speaker 1: that they impeach the president. It goes nowhere in the 993 00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:29,200 Speaker 1: Senate over nothing. I mean, it's the most ridiculous thing 994 00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:33,560 Speaker 1: I've ever seen. Okay, who wins in Wisconsin's if it's 995 00:56:33,560 --> 00:56:36,960 Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren. You know her positions as well as this 996 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,120 Speaker 1: audience does. Yeah, I think more than the fact that 997 00:56:40,200 --> 00:56:42,319 Speaker 1: she's a socialist, more of the fact that she wants 998 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:44,480 Speaker 1: to shut down dairy farmers and get rid of planes 999 00:56:44,520 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: and do all sorts of things that would not fare 1000 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,000 Speaker 1: well Wisconsin. I think the biggest problem she's going to 1001 00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,720 Speaker 1: have in Wisconsin. Why Trump will win against Elizabeth Lawn 1002 00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,680 Speaker 1: is because she's a fraud. I firmly believe voters who 1003 00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,000 Speaker 1: were on the bubble in Wisconsin did not vote for 1004 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,000 Speaker 1: Hillary because they thought she would do and say absolutely 1005 00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,240 Speaker 1: anything to get elected. It may not have always agreed 1006 00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,160 Speaker 1: with what the president said, but they knew he was 1007 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,080 Speaker 1: a straight shooter who said what he was going to do. 1008 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: With that he has done it, and I think that's 1009 00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,839 Speaker 1: a great contrast. The biggest worry I have isn't her 1010 00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,400 Speaker 1: or by It's Bernie Sanders. As crazy as his ideas are, 1011 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,560 Speaker 1: the one thing I'll give him is he is who 1012 00:57:19,600 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: he says he is. The others are just want to 1013 00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,520 Speaker 1: be who will say anything to get elected. Well, I 1014 00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,400 Speaker 1: think Elizabeth Warren basically adopts everything Bernie adopts and then 1015 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,280 Speaker 1: puts it on steroids exactly. I mean, she's further to 1016 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,040 Speaker 1: the lip it. I mean even this stuff with her 1017 00:57:32,440 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: false claim about not going to get job as a teacher, 1018 00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:40,120 Speaker 1: the false claim about her Native American heritage, all those things. 1019 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:41,919 Speaker 1: I think for people who are up in the air, 1020 00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:45,400 Speaker 1: those are things that really strike them. As you mentioned 1021 00:57:45,440 --> 00:57:49,760 Speaker 1: in your introduction, the people in the Midwest year are honest, good, decent, 1022 00:57:49,840 --> 00:57:53,160 Speaker 1: hardworking people. They'll treat you nice, but they stand up 1023 00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,360 Speaker 1: for their values, and more than anything else, they value 1024 00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,080 Speaker 1: people who are authentic, people who tell the truth, who 1025 00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,440 Speaker 1: tell it like it is. That's what this president it does. 1026 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: People like Elizabeth Lawn are just posers who shift this way. Governor, 1027 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:08,960 Speaker 1: she's trying to shake it from Bernie. Stay right there. 1028 00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,160 Speaker 1: I know you're working on dead issues. I want to 1029 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 1: ask you about that, Governor Scott Walker, Wisconsin with US 1030 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine for one Sean Tolfrey telephone number 1031 00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,000 Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Wow, if you haven't 1032 00:58:20,040 --> 00:58:24,240 Speaker 1: seen the allegation about Matt Lower the front cover of 1033 00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:29,280 Speaker 1: Today's New York Post. Matt Lower raped me. I mean 1034 00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 1: this back and forth in this new book by Ronan Farrow. 1035 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 1: We'll get into that with Danielle and Jonathan and also 1036 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: the issue of the NBA in China as right as 1037 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: we continue. Former Governor Great State of Wisconsin, Scott Walker. 1038 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 1: By the way, how are you packers this year? They 1039 00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:46,439 Speaker 1: look pretty good. Aaron Rodgers is amazing. Yeah, big big 1040 00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:51,240 Speaker 1: gwinn in the Cowboy territory of Texas. Oh, I mean 1041 00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:54,040 Speaker 1: was a blowout. That was a great game. Let me 1042 00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:56,200 Speaker 1: ask you this, so I agree with you, and I 1043 00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 1: think Trump is facing the same scenario that Reagan faced. 1044 00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,720 Speaker 1: Reagan comes into office, he called the military divide a 1045 00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:06,919 Speaker 1: gap of vulnerability because ships couldn't go out to see 1046 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,680 Speaker 1: they didn't have spare parts. He had to spend a 1047 00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of money in his first term in particular, and 1048 00:59:10,760 --> 00:59:14,280 Speaker 1: it didn't put the debt up. And President Trump to 1049 00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:18,720 Speaker 1: get the money to rebuild the military, you know, similarly 1050 00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:22,320 Speaker 1: is and he's saying it. He spent more money than 1051 00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 1: he ever wanted to, but that's how he got the 1052 00:59:24,840 --> 00:59:27,080 Speaker 1: deal done. And he plans on dealing with the debt 1053 00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:30,640 Speaker 1: in the second term, assuming he gets it. This thing 1054 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 1: is hanging over our head. We got to get rid 1055 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,760 Speaker 1: of it, and you're trying to deal with it. Well, 1056 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 1: that's exactly right, and a lot better off right now 1057 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: if he didn't have to get things through Nancy Pelosi's 1058 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:44,400 Speaker 1: house this last year. Long term, obviously we're better off 1059 00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:46,479 Speaker 1: if Kevin McCarthy's there and there's a whole new slave 1060 00:59:46,520 --> 00:59:50,160 Speaker 1: of leaders. But even beyond this president and get God 1061 00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:53,960 Speaker 1: willing he gets reelected long term, we've seen this is 1062 00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,680 Speaker 1: one of those issues that goes through administrations and to 1063 00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 1: your commerses at both parties. The way Washington is set up, 1064 01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:04,120 Speaker 1: I just think the Congress is incapable of reigning in 1065 01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 1: the deficit. And it turned the long term debt. You know, 1066 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 1: it nearly doubled when Bush was president, it nearly doubled 1067 01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:13,600 Speaker 1: when Obama's president. It's approaching by twenty twenty five thirty 1068 01:00:13,680 --> 01:00:16,560 Speaker 1: trillion dollars. And those numbers sound so big, but I 1069 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:18,960 Speaker 1: tell people that's like having a kid making forty six 1070 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:23,360 Speaker 1: grand a year carrying three hundred thousand dollars worth of debt. 1071 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: And that's just one of the things that we'd all 1072 01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,240 Speaker 1: have an intervention with that person to get them back 1073 01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: on track. They're spending more than they take in the 1074 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:33,040 Speaker 1: federalgrament's got to do. What The good news is, there's 1075 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,560 Speaker 1: a solution. We can pass a balanced budget min and 1076 01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:37,800 Speaker 1: just like Reagan push for, and the way to do 1077 01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:39,560 Speaker 1: it is not to rely on Congress, is to get 1078 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,120 Speaker 1: two thirds of the states to do it. Twenty eight 1079 01:00:42,200 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: of the thirty four needed have already passed it, and 1080 01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,720 Speaker 1: we've got a plan over the next two years to 1081 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,920 Speaker 1: get those last remaining six states. All right, Scott Walker, 1082 01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,040 Speaker 1: by the way, it's been a while, You've always been 1083 01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: a good friend of the program. I know you're going 1084 01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: to help the president and as real luck, would you 1085 01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,640 Speaker 1: ever consider going into the administration? Well, I told the 1086 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:00,840 Speaker 1: President earlier this year the best way I can help 1087 01:01:00,920 --> 01:01:02,600 Speaker 1: him is make sure he wins the states. So I'm 1088 01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 1: proud to be as chairman in Wisconsin and we'll see 1089 01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:08,360 Speaker 1: what God's got planned for the future. But we got 1090 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,280 Speaker 1: to get him elected first and foremost. We got to 1091 01:01:10,280 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 1: get him some help in the House, and we've got 1092 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,320 Speaker 1: to take on long term mus issues like the balance budget. 1093 01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: So we've got more details at Scott Walker dot com. 1094 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 1: But we'd love to have people join our fight here 1095 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,920 Speaker 1: in Wisconsin, across the nation. All right, Governor, thank you 1096 01:01:22,960 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 1: for being with us. Eight hundred and nine four one. Sean, 1097 01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:27,240 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Wow, 1098 01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:32,200 Speaker 1: the issue the NBA and China, the front cover tabloid 1099 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: New York New York Post, Matt Lower raped me. Wow, 1100 01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,840 Speaker 1: We'll get to that, Danielle Jonathan. Next, stay right here 1101 01:01:39,880 --> 01:01:43,600 Speaker 1: for our final news round up and information overload. After 1102 01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 1: so many people have been chasing this for so long, 1103 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,960 Speaker 1: why do you think they are now coming forward. Look, 1104 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:52,439 Speaker 1: each of these sources really tore their guts out giving 1105 01:01:52,480 --> 01:01:56,360 Speaker 1: these horrifying details. This was a traumatic experience to relieve 1106 01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:58,840 Speaker 1: these events, and there's very little upside for them. You know. 1107 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:00,680 Speaker 1: This was a brave and iportant thing they did, and 1108 01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:02,760 Speaker 1: they did it because they thought it could prevent potentially 1109 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 1: future crimes. Again and again, sources talked about doing that 1110 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 1: because they felt there was a change in the culture, 1111 01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,920 Speaker 1: that there was more of a culture accountability now. As 1112 01:02:10,960 --> 01:02:14,600 Speaker 1: something you may know, I issued a statement shortly before 1113 01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:19,680 Speaker 1: this press conference because I thought there was a lot 1114 01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 1: of misunderstanding out there about our position. I thought we 1115 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,920 Speaker 1: had been somewhat straightforward, but I can understand, given translations 1116 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:31,320 Speaker 1: and given interpretations in different parts of the world, why 1117 01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:36,280 Speaker 1: there might have been some confusion. And essentially what I've 1118 01:02:36,320 --> 01:02:39,760 Speaker 1: said in that statement is the long held values of 1119 01:02:39,800 --> 01:02:43,600 Speaker 1: the NBA are to support freedom of expression and certainly 1120 01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:47,320 Speaker 1: freedom of expression by members of the NBA community, and 1121 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: in this case, Daryl Morey, as the general manager of 1122 01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 1: the Houston Rockets, enjoys that right as one of our employees. 1123 01:02:54,960 --> 01:02:57,960 Speaker 1: What I also tried to suggest is I understand that 1124 01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,960 Speaker 1: there are consequences from that exercise, in essence his freedom 1125 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: of speech, and you know, we will have to live 1126 01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 1: with those consequences. It's my hope that for our Chinese 1127 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,720 Speaker 1: fans and our partners in China, they will see those 1128 01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:20,200 Speaker 1: remarks in the context of now a three decade, if 1129 01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 1: not longer, relationship and that we've done in partnership with 1130 01:03:26,080 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 1: the Chinese Basketball Association, the Department of Education, and many 1131 01:03:30,360 --> 01:03:34,720 Speaker 1: different businesses in China. I feel enormous amount to build 1132 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:40,800 Speaker 1: the sport, to work in communities, to focus on healthy lifestyles, 1133 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 1: and that's where we find ourselves. But that as a 1134 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:51,080 Speaker 1: league we are not willing to compromise those values. And 1135 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:57,960 Speaker 1: again I'm sympathetic to our interests here and to our 1136 01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:03,560 Speaker 1: partners who are upset, and I don't think it's inconsistent 1137 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:08,440 Speaker 1: on one hand to be sympathetic to them and at 1138 01:04:08,440 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 1: the same time stand by our principles. We are not 1139 01:04:12,240 --> 01:04:18,680 Speaker 1: apologizing for Darryl exercising his freedom of expression. I regret 1140 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: again having communicated directly with many friends in China, that 1141 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 1: so many people are upset, including millions and millions of 1142 01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,160 Speaker 1: our fans. I mean, at the end of the day, 1143 01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:35,400 Speaker 1: you know, we come with basketball as an opportunity to 1144 01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:41,560 Speaker 1: sell dreams, sell hopes that to you know, reacently focus 1145 01:04:41,600 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: on physical fitness. Hi, Christina mcfallen's CNN. The NBA has 1146 01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,040 Speaker 1: always been a league that prides itself on its player 1147 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: and its coaches being able to speak out openly about 1148 01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:55,440 Speaker 1: political and societal affairs. I just wonder, after the events 1149 01:04:55,480 --> 01:04:58,000 Speaker 1: of this week and the fall out we've seen, whether 1150 01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:01,800 Speaker 1: you would both feel differently about speaking out in that 1151 01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 1: way in future. It's a legitimate question. This is an 1152 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,440 Speaker 1: event that's happened this week during during the NBA, and 1153 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 1: the answer this particular question has not been listed Jane An, 1154 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 1: you have a question, gentlemen in friends all right? That 1155 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:23,960 Speaker 1: was that last cut. That was a question of a 1156 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 1: reporter and not allowing NBA players to even be asked 1157 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:33,520 Speaker 1: a single question about about this entire issue. You know, 1158 01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,360 Speaker 1: Jason Whitlock, who was with Fox Sports one, was almos 1159 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 1: Us on Hannity last night. I mean, it's it's devastating, 1160 01:05:40,880 --> 01:05:44,160 Speaker 1: um because you have the NBA commissioner, you know, Adam 1161 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,240 Speaker 1: silver Is, you know, where is he on this whole thing. 1162 01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:50,520 Speaker 1: They have no problem with NBA players trashing Donald Trump 1163 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,560 Speaker 1: on a daily basis, but China. Now, Whitlock made an 1164 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:56,440 Speaker 1: interesting point. He thinks it's all connected to Nike. That 1165 01:05:56,680 --> 01:05:59,120 Speaker 1: the NBA is an eight billion dollars a year business, 1166 01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:01,439 Speaker 1: which I had no idea about, But Nike's like forty 1167 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,520 Speaker 1: billion dollars a year, and a lot of it comes 1168 01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 1: down to money in all of this, and the NBA just, 1169 01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,880 Speaker 1: you know, basically, you know, bowing down to communist Chinese 1170 01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:16,440 Speaker 1: and they're not going to allow anybody to speak out 1171 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:19,800 Speaker 1: or stand for freedom as it relates to Hong Kong 1172 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:23,920 Speaker 1: and the Chinese crack down there. And before that, you 1173 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:28,280 Speaker 1: heard Matt Lower hailing Ronan Farrow for exposing the Harvey 1174 01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: Weinstein scandal. Well, I don't think he feels the same 1175 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 1: way today. The front page headline in the New York 1176 01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:39,720 Speaker 1: Post as Matt Lower raped me, NBC anchor all lies. 1177 01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: We had a consensual affair, And it's a back and 1178 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:44,600 Speaker 1: forth between the two of them. It's like, you know, 1179 01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know how to interpret it. 1180 01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:51,440 Speaker 1: She claimed that that he raped her, and he's claiming 1181 01:06:51,760 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 1: that is false, and I don't know how to How 1182 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: does one ascertain the truth in a lot of these cases? Now? 1183 01:06:58,640 --> 01:07:00,760 Speaker 1: He also goes on to say nothing could be further 1184 01:07:00,880 --> 01:07:03,480 Speaker 1: from the truth. There was nothing aggressive about the encounter. 1185 01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:06,480 Speaker 1: She didn't cry, she didn't do this, and at no 1186 01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:08,600 Speaker 1: time did she behave in any way that made it 1187 01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 1: appear that she was incapable of consent. And then apparently 1188 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: he's claiming that this extramarital affair went on for some 1189 01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,840 Speaker 1: time thereafter, wasn't just a one night thing in so 1190 01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 1: she or apparently this started anyway. Joining us to help 1191 01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,400 Speaker 1: break all this men this down and maybe get to 1192 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,520 Speaker 1: some truth. Here is Jonathan Gillum and Danielle McLaughlin. Thank 1193 01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,800 Speaker 1: you both for being with us, Danielle, let's start with 1194 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:39,440 Speaker 1: the lour issue. Two very distinctly different accounts here by 1195 01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,960 Speaker 1: two individuals. How do we get to truth in a 1196 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:47,200 Speaker 1: moment like that? Okay, Sean, Hey, Jonathan, it's it's madness 1197 01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:50,960 Speaker 1: this right, it's it's so hard to know in these 1198 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: situations with all the information we have, which is frankly 1199 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,280 Speaker 1: not that much. An excerpt from Ronan Farrow's book What 1200 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: Really Happened Here? And you know, see, this is what 1201 01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:03,840 Speaker 1: we have the legal system for. If she wants to 1202 01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:05,920 Speaker 1: press charges, if she wants to follow this through, she 1203 01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: will have every opportunity to do that, and a jury 1204 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,760 Speaker 1: of their peers will get to the truth. Clearly, this 1205 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000 Speaker 1: is going to be discussed in media. There are always 1206 01:08:15,080 --> 01:08:17,640 Speaker 1: concerns where you have to the people in positions of 1207 01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:21,839 Speaker 1: power and under these circumstances, and there are always problems 1208 01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,800 Speaker 1: when you have issues of alcohol. She claims she was 1209 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,200 Speaker 1: incapable of consent because she had had, I think in 1210 01:08:28,200 --> 01:08:30,120 Speaker 1: a lot of vodka that night when they were all out. 1211 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,519 Speaker 1: She said she had six shots of acca. But what 1212 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 1: Lauer is saying that it was an extramarital affair, but 1213 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:44,599 Speaker 1: consensual sexual encounters and saying that he had this affair 1214 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 1: with her beginning in twenty fourteen when she came to 1215 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:53,800 Speaker 1: his room late one night in Sochi, Russia. Again that's 1216 01:08:53,840 --> 01:08:57,120 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, and she said that she and Lower did 1217 01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,680 Speaker 1: go on to have more sexual encounters, some of which 1218 01:08:59,720 --> 01:09:04,960 Speaker 1: she initiated. It was completely transactional. Transactional, she says, not 1219 01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:08,320 Speaker 1: a relationship. Does that impact the story at all that 1220 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,760 Speaker 1: after this incident, as she didn't report it and be 1221 01:09:11,960 --> 01:09:14,840 Speaker 1: she continued to have then she moved on to an 1222 01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 1: affair with him if you believe her account in the 1223 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:20,600 Speaker 1: first place. I know, as a matter of law, you know, 1224 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,080 Speaker 1: all of those things may come before a jury, and 1225 01:09:24,040 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: there are instances where people are married and there are 1226 01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:29,720 Speaker 1: a sexual assault within that marriage. So consent is what 1227 01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:33,320 Speaker 1: matters here and the facts will come out if this 1228 01:09:33,479 --> 01:09:38,920 Speaker 1: in fact comes into into a legal situation. This is 1229 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 1: awful and horrible, and I have great sympathy, particularly for 1230 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,800 Speaker 1: her because she is the person who is not in 1231 01:09:45,840 --> 01:09:48,360 Speaker 1: a position of power. But it's not for me to 1232 01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:50,479 Speaker 1: assist who was right and who was wrong, and who 1233 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,320 Speaker 1: was telling the truth and who was lying. That's how 1234 01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,639 Speaker 1: courts are for all, right. Jonathan Gillham, what's your take 1235 01:09:55,720 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 1: on first Allower situation. Then we'll get to the NBA 1236 01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:01,800 Speaker 1: in China. Well, so I try to stay very, very 1237 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,439 Speaker 1: neutral and unemotional in these situations because we don't know 1238 01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: what the truth is. I think Danielle said something there 1239 01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:12,680 Speaker 1: that is typical of society now. And I'm not just 1240 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 1: saying liberals a typical society where they say I'm sympathetic 1241 01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:18,760 Speaker 1: for the female because of this, but we don't know 1242 01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:23,479 Speaker 1: what happened. Well, I don't apply sympathy or emotions in 1243 01:10:23,800 --> 01:10:26,080 Speaker 1: a case like this, where allegations are made like this 1244 01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,320 Speaker 1: in the court of public opinion, because we don't know. 1245 01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,240 Speaker 1: I mean, we don't even know the reality of any 1246 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: of this stuff because it's one person saying something and 1247 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,760 Speaker 1: the other person saying another one, and a reporter, not 1248 01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:44,240 Speaker 1: a law enforcement officer who's collected evidence at the moment 1249 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,360 Speaker 1: of the crime. We're not talking about something like that. 1250 01:10:46,400 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: We're talking about a reporter who is going to make 1251 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,160 Speaker 1: money off of a book, and the more salacious he 1252 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:55,519 Speaker 1: can make it, the better. And so that's I don't 1253 01:10:55,560 --> 01:10:57,599 Speaker 1: put a lot of stock in these types of things. 1254 01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:02,160 Speaker 1: And I think this bad part about this is that 1255 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 1: for people who are actually raped and who go through 1256 01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,920 Speaker 1: these situations. The way that the public looks at it 1257 01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:15,120 Speaker 1: now is there are a lot of people are afraid 1258 01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: to bring these allegations out because they're afraid of repercussions, 1259 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,200 Speaker 1: and so they don't go and report it right away. 1260 01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,320 Speaker 1: That or, like I was saying, you know, I've been 1261 01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,200 Speaker 1: saying this for years, since I've been on radio and TV. 1262 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:28,439 Speaker 1: It's something like this happens tone and you're afraid to 1263 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,479 Speaker 1: come out, write down what happened, have a witness, sign 1264 01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,200 Speaker 1: it still the envelope, and send it to yourself. At 1265 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 1: least you're going to say this is from that day 1266 01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,040 Speaker 1: and age. And we just have people who are not 1267 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:44,840 Speaker 1: at this point, who are not thinking in that why 1268 01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,000 Speaker 1: they're just saying, well, we're not going to do anything, 1269 01:11:47,040 --> 01:11:48,719 Speaker 1: and then they bring it in the court of public opinion, 1270 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,680 Speaker 1: and if it actually did happen to them, it kind 1271 01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:53,840 Speaker 1: of degrades their story. And that's a sad part about this. 1272 01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:59,040 Speaker 1: I just I've really done a pretty good job I 1273 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,040 Speaker 1: think learning a lesson of Richard Jewell, and instinctively I said, well, 1274 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,080 Speaker 1: just because he lives with his mother doesn't mean he 1275 01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:09,600 Speaker 1: fit the profile. Of the lone bomber. And you know, 1276 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about this a lot, Danielle on this show. 1277 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,200 Speaker 1: We we withhold judgment. We believe in due process. You know, 1278 01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:17,600 Speaker 1: look at the rest of look a look at the 1279 01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:20,240 Speaker 1: rest of the media mob. We were right about Uva. 1280 01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,120 Speaker 1: We were right about the Ducal Cross situation. We ended 1281 01:12:24,200 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 1: up being right about Ferguson Missouri and George Zimmerman and Baltimore, 1282 01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:33,719 Speaker 1: Maryland and Cambridge police. We were right about vetting Obama. 1283 01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,479 Speaker 1: We were right in the end. I think Kavanaugh, that 1284 01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:40,639 Speaker 1: whole story fell apart, right about this kid, Nicholas Sandman 1285 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:44,280 Speaker 1: and everybody else rushes to judgment. I just I cannot 1286 01:12:44,360 --> 01:12:47,240 Speaker 1: tell my audience that I know what happened in the 1287 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,400 Speaker 1: matt lower case. I don't know. No, and you don't, 1288 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 1: and Jonathan doesn't and I don't and I certainly don't 1289 01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:56,240 Speaker 1: profess to know. And thing they both say is that 1290 01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,600 Speaker 1: they had an extra marital affair. She's saying that it 1291 01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 1: was initiated with being raped in Sochi in Russia in 1292 01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:07,160 Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, right, And I will say, there's a reason 1293 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 1: we have courts of law to determine what really to 1294 01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 1: get to the facts. So there isn't a sort of 1295 01:13:11,520 --> 01:13:14,120 Speaker 1: this trial in the public, okay, based on what we 1296 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:16,559 Speaker 1: have in the record and that he said she said, 1297 01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,639 Speaker 1: how does that play out in a courtroom? In your view? 1298 01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:20,800 Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. One thing I will say 1299 01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:22,960 Speaker 1: is if she accuses him of a crime and that 1300 01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:25,880 Speaker 1: is found to be false, as she's lying that five 1301 01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,840 Speaker 1: years after the fact, apparently she but hey, we know 1302 01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:32,280 Speaker 1: she didn't file a police report. It's five years now 1303 01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:35,320 Speaker 1: after them. It's not unusual. Okay, I've granted it's not. 1304 01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean I'm agreeing with you. That's why I'm asking. 1305 01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:40,600 Speaker 1: But it's five years later. She didn't file on an 1306 01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,800 Speaker 1: initial report. She had the extramarital affair, by her own 1307 01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:46,599 Speaker 1: admission later. So bring it to a court of law. 1308 01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 1: How does that play out you're the lawyer. Come down 1309 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,600 Speaker 1: to it's going to come down to the credibility of 1310 01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:54,560 Speaker 1: the two of them. It's going to come down to 1311 01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:58,080 Speaker 1: Hoojura's belief. That's that's all that really matters in this case. 1312 01:13:58,320 --> 01:14:00,280 Speaker 1: She could have married him, and she could still, you know, 1313 01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:02,479 Speaker 1: bring a claim if she believes that she has the 1314 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:08,519 Speaker 1: facts to do it. My point is that there could 1315 01:14:08,520 --> 01:14:12,600 Speaker 1: be along an ongoing sexual you know, engagement. Walk us 1316 01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 1: through the court process. I'm asking you very specifically, it's 1317 01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 1: in a court of law, Yes, walk us through. Okay. 1318 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:23,000 Speaker 1: Lowers lawyers go after her right, okay, So that it 1319 01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,280 Speaker 1: was consentual. They're going to say it was consentual, and 1320 01:14:25,400 --> 01:14:27,200 Speaker 1: that was evidence by the fact that she was in 1321 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:30,960 Speaker 1: a long term relationship with him. Okay. Now, now, shar 1322 01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:32,960 Speaker 1: lawyers are going to say, yeah, she did have the 1323 01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:37,240 Speaker 1: consensual relationship later, but this did happen, correct, So now 1324 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:40,439 Speaker 1: maybe she told somebody at the time. Okay, Let's let's 1325 01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 1: assume that happened, okay, and reportedly she did. Reportedly they 1326 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,640 Speaker 1: were she had Jonathan, you made this point earlier, the 1327 01:14:47,720 --> 01:14:50,800 Speaker 1: sort of contemporaneous reporting, So you write something down, or 1328 01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,880 Speaker 1: you tell a friend. The laws of the rules of 1329 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:57,040 Speaker 1: evidence in a courtroom give a lot of stock to 1330 01:14:57,960 --> 01:15:01,280 Speaker 1: to to win. A person who has is making accusation 1331 01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,760 Speaker 1: or is innocent of something tells somebody else at the time, 1332 01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:08,679 Speaker 1: there is weight given to those statements on the basis 1333 01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,640 Speaker 1: that they are generally reliable. So if she told a 1334 01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:15,799 Speaker 1: lot of people, if she confided in someone, that boosts 1335 01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:21,439 Speaker 1: that bolst is her credibility. Well, you know, again, we 1336 01:15:21,479 --> 01:15:23,360 Speaker 1: don't know what the truth is. But when you are 1337 01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,800 Speaker 1: looking at credibility, if they were to bring up the 1338 01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,800 Speaker 1: stuff that mattl Oerson, you know, it goes both ways 1339 01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:35,800 Speaker 1: because the court is gonna air on the facts, and 1340 01:15:36,040 --> 01:15:39,400 Speaker 1: if the facts are hearsay, it's just simply it's what 1341 01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: you see in the media every day with Donald Trump. 1342 01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:44,880 Speaker 1: They're just trying to destroy credibility. And that's exactly what's 1343 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,479 Speaker 1: going to happen if this would ever come to a case. 1344 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,160 Speaker 1: But I honestly don't see how this could come to 1345 01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,599 Speaker 1: a case myself. If it does, it's a frivolous case. 1346 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:58,120 Speaker 1: And I think that you know, the attorneys are that 1347 01:15:58,200 --> 01:15:59,680 Speaker 1: are going to be going back and forth on this 1348 01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,000 Speaker 1: are really going to be trying to push the fact. 1349 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,080 Speaker 1: At least Matt Lower's attorneys would be pushing the fact 1350 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:09,800 Speaker 1: that she didn't work for him under his authority, they 1351 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 1: had continuous affair. What if she's telling the truth though, 1352 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I know they're gonna say that again, I'm 1353 01:16:15,560 --> 01:16:18,680 Speaker 1: playing devil's advocate. Yeah. Now, that's that's the hard part 1354 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: about this, and that's why I always that's what I 1355 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: always saying, you know when I if I ask people 1356 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:26,040 Speaker 1: on things is if something happened to your first thing 1357 01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:27,840 Speaker 1: I do is tell somebody. The second thing you gotta 1358 01:16:27,840 --> 01:16:29,760 Speaker 1: do is you need to get a rape kit. You 1359 01:16:29,800 --> 01:16:31,479 Speaker 1: need to get things done because this is you don't 1360 01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:34,240 Speaker 1: want to get yourself into this situation. All right, thank 1361 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,200 Speaker 1: you both hard issues, and I'll tell you. And then 1362 01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,240 Speaker 1: we didn't get time to get to the China issue 1363 01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:42,240 Speaker 1: with the NBA. We'll hit that at the other side 1364 01:16:42,280 --> 01:16:45,000 Speaker 1: of this break. Eight hundred and nine for one Sean 1365 01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:48,640 Speaker 1: Tolfrey telephone number HI twenty five to the top of 1366 01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:51,519 Speaker 1: the hour. All right, let me play the Today's Show. 1367 01:16:52,200 --> 01:16:57,240 Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie and Hoda reacting to the front cover of 1368 01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:00,640 Speaker 1: the New York Post today, Matt Lower raped For the 1369 01:17:00,760 --> 01:17:03,880 Speaker 1: first time, we're hearing from the woman who's complaint led 1370 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,719 Speaker 1: to Matt Lower's fiery The former NBC News employee, whose 1371 01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,839 Speaker 1: identity has been kept anonymous by NBC News at her request, 1372 01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,280 Speaker 1: is now speaking out publicly. The woman Brooke Neville's sat 1373 01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:19,240 Speaker 1: down with Ronan Farrow for his new book, Catch and Kill. 1374 01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,719 Speaker 1: NBC News has not obtained a copy of the book, 1375 01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,000 Speaker 1: but Variety did and release details of her interview overnight 1376 01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:30,720 Speaker 1: in the book, Neville's alleged lower raped her in his 1377 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,400 Speaker 1: hotel room at the twenty fourteen Socie Olympics, Like we 1378 01:17:34,439 --> 01:17:36,800 Speaker 1: owe it to our viewers to pause for a moment. 1379 01:17:38,120 --> 01:17:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, this is shocking and appalling, and I honestly 1380 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,599 Speaker 1: don't even know what to say about it. I want 1381 01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: to say that we I know it wasn't easy for 1382 01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: our colleague book to come forward, then it's not easy now, 1383 01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:56,680 Speaker 1: and we support her and any women who have come 1384 01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:59,720 Speaker 1: forward with claims, and it's just very painful for all 1385 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: of us at NBC and who are at the Today Show, 1386 01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:08,200 Speaker 1: and you know, it's very, very, very difficult. I'm looking 1387 01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:10,439 Speaker 1: at you and I'm having a weird moment that we 1388 01:18:10,560 --> 01:18:13,360 Speaker 1: were sitting here just like this two years ago, and 1389 01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,200 Speaker 1: truth be told, Savannah, I did a little prayer upstairs 1390 01:18:16,240 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 1: just before, just to sort of sort out what we 1391 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,640 Speaker 1: were going to do. And I think it's it's like 1392 01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:25,320 Speaker 1: you feel like you've known someone for twelve years. And 1393 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys have ever felt like that. 1394 01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,439 Speaker 1: You know someone, you know them, you feel like you 1395 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,479 Speaker 1: know them inside and out, and then all of a sudden, 1396 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,000 Speaker 1: like a door opens up and it's a part of 1397 01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:36,120 Speaker 1: them you didn't know, and we don't know all the 1398 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,920 Speaker 1: facts and all of this, but there are not allegations 1399 01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:41,720 Speaker 1: of an affair. There are allegations of a crime, and 1400 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,400 Speaker 1: I think that's shocking to all of us here who've 1401 01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:49,680 Speaker 1: sat with Matt for many, many years. So I think 1402 01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:53,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna just sort of continue to process this part 1403 01:18:53,240 --> 01:18:56,320 Speaker 1: of this horrific story. And as you said, you know 1404 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,920 Speaker 1: our thoughts or with Brook that's not easy. What she 1405 01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,439 Speaker 1: did to come forward not easy at all, And I 1406 01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: think I speak for all of us. We're disturbed in 1407 01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:07,240 Speaker 1: our core. Yeah, and we have a commitment to keep 1408 01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:10,120 Speaker 1: even for house and we will continue to do that. Well, 1409 01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,960 Speaker 1: then this what we played earlier, I'll play it again, 1410 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 1: Matt Lower hailing the author of this book, Ronan Farroh, 1411 01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:21,719 Speaker 1: on a previous occasion for exposing Harvey Weinstein and that scandal. 1412 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: Ronan Farrow was a contributor for The New Yorker and 1413 01:19:24,600 --> 01:19:27,519 Speaker 1: an NBC News contributing correspondent as well. Ronan, good morning 1414 01:19:27,560 --> 01:19:30,360 Speaker 1: to you. You've been working this story for a long time, 1415 01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:32,519 Speaker 1: both for NBC News and The New Yorker. I know 1416 01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 1: it has been a long and difficult process to get 1417 01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,360 Speaker 1: these actresses to be identified and go on the record 1418 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,920 Speaker 1: with their allegations. After so many people have been chasing 1419 01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:44,519 Speaker 1: this for so long, why do you think they are 1420 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:48,439 Speaker 1: now coming forward. Look, each of these sources really tore 1421 01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:51,560 Speaker 1: their guts out giving these horrifying details. This was a 1422 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:54,840 Speaker 1: traumatic experience to relieve these events, and there's very little 1423 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,760 Speaker 1: upside for them. You know, this was a brave and 1424 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:58,360 Speaker 1: important thing they did, and they did it because they 1425 01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:02,080 Speaker 1: thought it could prevent potentially crimes. Again and again. Source 1426 01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: has talked about doing that because they felt there was 1427 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 1: a change in the culture, that there is more of 1428 01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:08,800 Speaker 1: a culture accountability. Now, all right, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, 1429 01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm we're gonna get to your calls here. I look, 1430 01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:16,120 Speaker 1: I see you guys have really engaged in this. I 1431 01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 1: think I said it best with Danielle and Jonathan. I 1432 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,160 Speaker 1: don't know the answer. I think we've done a very 1433 01:20:22,240 --> 01:20:26,880 Speaker 1: good job on this program of believing in due process, Linda. 1434 01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:30,719 Speaker 1: Take for example, with the Abanati case. Remember Avanati's girlfriend. 1435 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,760 Speaker 1: You know he had three separate jurisdictions investigating him. Now, 1436 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:38,080 Speaker 1: I could have treated Abanati the way he treated Justice 1437 01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:41,080 Speaker 1: Kavanaugh with Julie sweat Nick. But that's not who we 1438 01:20:41,200 --> 01:20:44,840 Speaker 1: are and that's not what we do. And I learned 1439 01:20:44,880 --> 01:20:48,400 Speaker 1: that lesson with Richard Jewell. It has served us this 1440 01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:53,000 Speaker 1: program and my TV show well over the years. You know, 1441 01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,680 Speaker 1: how is it everybody in the media gets it wrong 1442 01:20:55,720 --> 01:21:00,960 Speaker 1: about Nicholas Sandman rush to judgment, Justice Cavanaugh, rush to judgment, 1443 01:21:01,479 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: you know, Duke Lacrosse rushed to judgment UVA, same story, 1444 01:21:06,280 --> 01:21:12,200 Speaker 1: Ferguson Missouri, same story, Freddie Gray Baltimore, creating an expectation 1445 01:21:12,320 --> 01:21:15,600 Speaker 1: of a result that was never going to happen. And 1446 01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,639 Speaker 1: we work our sources. You know. For example, I knew 1447 01:21:18,680 --> 01:21:22,479 Speaker 1: early on when nobody else knew. I had sources off 1448 01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:28,400 Speaker 1: the record telling me we have eyewitnesses that contradict everything 1449 01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,960 Speaker 1: that is that the media is telling us. I knew it, 1450 01:21:32,800 --> 01:21:36,679 Speaker 1: so I worked my sources. Same with in the case, 1451 01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:40,080 Speaker 1: going back to Richard Jewell, you know. Or for example, 1452 01:21:40,200 --> 01:21:44,720 Speaker 1: when the Duke Lacrosse situation happened, Well, okay, they're making 1453 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:48,439 Speaker 1: allegations against kids. Some of these kids came from New York. 1454 01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,160 Speaker 1: I went out to their house and I talked to 1455 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 1: some of the parents and kids and I got a 1456 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:57,080 Speaker 1: different side of the story. And what eighty ninety Duke 1457 01:21:57,200 --> 01:22:00,640 Speaker 1: professors at the time, you know, basically saying they're all 1458 01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:03,439 Speaker 1: guilty and you don't know. You read a headline like this, 1459 01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:06,800 Speaker 1: Matt Lower raped me, and Matt Lower came out with 1460 01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,160 Speaker 1: a statement absolutely denying it. The one thing that they 1461 01:22:10,240 --> 01:22:13,799 Speaker 1: did agree on is after this incident in twenty fourteen 1462 01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:19,040 Speaker 1: in Sochi, Russia, that they did have an ongoing affair. 1463 01:22:19,560 --> 01:22:22,720 Speaker 1: They both admit to that. But then again, you know, 1464 01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,880 Speaker 1: it's five years later. How does this play out? Where's 1465 01:22:25,920 --> 01:22:28,680 Speaker 1: the truth? What if she did tell apparently she did 1466 01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:33,720 Speaker 1: tell people at the time it had happened. You're all 1467 01:22:33,800 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: looking at me like I don't know the answer. I'm 1468 01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:40,240 Speaker 1: I am saying I don't know, But that's what we 1469 01:22:40,400 --> 01:22:44,080 Speaker 1: always do until we do know. We were right about 1470 01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:48,880 Speaker 1: Trump Russia collusion. Nobody else was, and we're also right 1471 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,200 Speaker 1: about this Ukraine thing with Joe Biden. Nobody else is 1472 01:22:52,240 --> 01:22:55,719 Speaker 1: reporting that Joe Biden's on tape admitting it. Go ahead, 1473 01:22:55,760 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 1: your thoughts, I mean, listen, you know, we could talk 1474 01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,200 Speaker 1: about this all day, and I'm sure the audience hang on. 1475 01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,280 Speaker 1: We can talk about it all about it all day, 1476 01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:05,320 Speaker 1: you know, talk about it. We'll have a couple of coffee, 1477 01:23:05,360 --> 01:23:07,960 Speaker 1: will talk about it. You know, I mean, I mean, 1478 01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:12,760 Speaker 1: if he did it, I'm like, oh my gosh, somebody 1479 01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:16,240 Speaker 1: like that. No presumption of innocence. Now, listen, the guy's 1480 01:23:16,240 --> 01:23:18,479 Speaker 1: got a little bit of a sketchy past, right, got 1481 01:23:18,520 --> 01:23:21,439 Speaker 1: a button under his desk that locks in his office. Okay, 1482 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,360 Speaker 1: that's weird. We'll hang on. He denied that too in 1483 01:23:24,479 --> 01:23:27,120 Speaker 1: my statement. Now, there are multiple women that have come 1484 01:23:27,160 --> 01:23:29,960 Speaker 1: out and said I was in his office, there is 1485 01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 1: a button. Until I see that desk with the button, 1486 01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:36,840 Speaker 1: I don't believe anything, right, because that's that's the whole 1487 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,439 Speaker 1: point of being presumed innocent until proven guilty. You know, 1488 01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,840 Speaker 1: one person's word against another person's word is not guilt. 1489 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,519 Speaker 1: You know. The only other way to get guilt beyond 1490 01:23:47,640 --> 01:23:50,360 Speaker 1: the evidence is at an emission, you know. So it's 1491 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,840 Speaker 1: that's why it's interesting how it parallels to the Biden thing. Right, 1492 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:57,800 Speaker 1: So mainstream networks are not giving Biden anytime. We're not hearing, 1493 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,200 Speaker 1: we're not hearing about what he did, what his son did. 1494 01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,800 Speaker 1: You know how much money these guys made, where it 1495 01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,320 Speaker 1: came from the funneling, you know, we spent twenty five 1496 01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:08,240 Speaker 1: million tacks pay of dollars to find out that the 1497 01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:11,200 Speaker 1: president had nothing to do with Russia. Since Russia didn't 1498 01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:13,559 Speaker 1: work out, we're gonna look at Ukraine. We have evidence 1499 01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,800 Speaker 1: of previous presidents and vice presidents doing the faious things. 1500 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 1: Whether it was giving one hundred and fifty billion dollars 1501 01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:22,559 Speaker 1: and unmarked bills to Iranian mullahs, whether it was Obama 1502 01:24:22,680 --> 01:24:25,439 Speaker 1: giving over two million dollars to Hezbollah and Hamas in 1503 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:27,639 Speaker 1: the last three days of his presidency, whether it's Joe 1504 01:24:27,720 --> 01:24:30,760 Speaker 1: Biden and his son benefiting from Borisma holdings. It doesn't 1505 01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:33,200 Speaker 1: matter what it is. None of that matters to them. 1506 01:24:33,680 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 1: And so now they're trying to hold Matt Loward at 1507 01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:38,320 Speaker 1: the same standards because they're like, oh no, well, you know, 1508 01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:40,400 Speaker 1: we bash these guys, so now we gotta stick with it. So, 1509 01:24:40,520 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 1: you know, we just bash everybody. Everybody's guilty until proven innocent. 1510 01:24:44,200 --> 01:24:47,200 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it. It's outrageous, and I'm sorry, 1511 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:50,960 Speaker 1: but instinctively I just can't be that person that rush 1512 01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,639 Speaker 1: us to judgment night, but beyond even Russian to judgment, 1513 01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,800 Speaker 1: I'm just saying, no, hold on one second. As a woman. 1514 01:24:55,920 --> 01:24:58,200 Speaker 1: All right, Okay, I hang on one second. You know, 1515 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,680 Speaker 1: like a somebody. You know, if some he raped me, 1516 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,479 Speaker 1: I would not continue to see them. I would not 1517 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:07,439 Speaker 1: marry them. Now, I'm not saying that that happens. It 1518 01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:10,120 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it didn't happen. Not to say it didn't happen, 1519 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:13,880 Speaker 1: but man, it just seems really odd to me that 1520 01:25:14,320 --> 01:25:17,960 Speaker 1: you're you're raped, it's traumatic, and then you willfully continue dating. 1521 01:25:18,080 --> 01:25:20,840 Speaker 1: And she's talking about an act of violence. And I'm 1522 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:25,320 Speaker 1: not going to go into the details. That is like, right, 1523 01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,120 Speaker 1: So the thing that blows you away, Like, the thing 1524 01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:29,560 Speaker 1: that's strange is that she says that she consented to 1525 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:32,519 Speaker 1: continue to date him, not that she was pushed into 1526 01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:34,559 Speaker 1: dating him. Like if it was like, hey, I did 1527 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 1: this to you and you're going to deal with it, 1528 01:25:36,120 --> 01:25:37,920 Speaker 1: or you're not going anywhere at NBC and I'm going 1529 01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:40,280 Speaker 1: to make sure you never have a career in this business. 1530 01:25:40,360 --> 01:25:44,080 Speaker 1: Somebody is I don't. I honestly believe that there are 1531 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:48,560 Speaker 1: psychological forces that I am not equipped to understand. I'm 1532 01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:51,200 Speaker 1: saying that up front. You know, it's sort of like 1533 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:56,160 Speaker 1: the Stockholm syndrome is a real thing. It really happens 1534 01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,400 Speaker 1: where you sympathize with your captor. That was a big 1535 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:03,120 Speaker 1: issue with the Patty Hurst case, for example. I don't know, 1536 01:26:03,400 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 1: and almost you have to my view, separate what might 1537 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:11,600 Speaker 1: have happened after this from what actually she's saying that 1538 01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:14,880 Speaker 1: he did, because I don't know. I don't understand in 1539 01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: any way, shape, manner, or form the psychology of any 1540 01:26:17,479 --> 01:26:19,280 Speaker 1: of it. I don't tell you a really sad story 1541 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,439 Speaker 1: because I would on the face of it, I would 1542 01:26:21,439 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 1: agree doesn't That doesn't make sense to me, But it 1543 01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:26,720 Speaker 1: doesn't mean it didn't happen either. So get this. I 1544 01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:30,400 Speaker 1: got a friend, right, my son, Wicked Smont going to 1545 01:26:30,520 --> 01:26:34,120 Speaker 1: college YadA, YadA, YadA, carries around these little pieces of 1546 01:26:34,200 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 1: paper prince Himount and says, I consent to go out 1547 01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,800 Speaker 1: with we'll call him Joe. Joe has space for the 1548 01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 1: date this was illegally. I was not I was not drugged, 1549 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,680 Speaker 1: I was not forced. I consent to the date, and um, 1550 01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 1: you know, willfully went up on this. And then he 1551 01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,880 Speaker 1: has another one in case they decided to sleep together, 1552 01:26:55,439 --> 01:26:56,840 Speaker 1: or in case they decided to do anything else. He 1553 01:26:56,880 --> 01:26:59,800 Speaker 1: has everything in writing because so many of his friends 1554 01:27:00,040 --> 01:27:02,160 Speaker 1: on campus are being accused of things that didn't happen. 1555 01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:05,920 Speaker 1: How sad is this? I mean, you know, it's really 1556 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,960 Speaker 1: sad that there are people that do these evil, horrific, 1557 01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:15,280 Speaker 1: violent things. And I think it's hard. And I used 1558 01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:17,240 Speaker 1: to say this in my speech when I wrote the 1559 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,679 Speaker 1: book Deliverers from Evil. That's two thousand and four, that's 1560 01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,920 Speaker 1: fifteen years ago I wrote that book, and I would say, 1561 01:27:25,040 --> 01:27:28,559 Speaker 1: I think good people have a very hard time wrapping 1562 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 1: their minds around violence and evil. You know, we just 1563 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,880 Speaker 1: report every weekend or after a weekend, how many people 1564 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,360 Speaker 1: were shot in Chicago. We don't even think about it anymore. 1565 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,400 Speaker 1: But I mean, think of if you're the mother of 1566 01:27:42,479 --> 01:27:45,640 Speaker 1: the father and it's your kid that got shot. You 1567 01:27:45,760 --> 01:27:48,400 Speaker 1: have little kids getting shot. I remember the day that 1568 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:51,000 Speaker 1: I scrolled the names of all the people shot in Chicago, 1569 01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:53,640 Speaker 1: all the people killed in Chicago on TV. Names you 1570 01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:55,880 Speaker 1: never hear of. There's so many things that we don't 1571 01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:57,800 Speaker 1: hear about because they just don't fit the date. We 1572 01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:01,680 Speaker 1: have murder people have to death in France, right but 1573 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:03,479 Speaker 1: we don't talk about it because they're not looking at 1574 01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,560 Speaker 1: band knives, they're looking at band guns. We have a 1575 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,120 Speaker 1: synagogue attacked in Germany. We're not talking about it because 1576 01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,800 Speaker 1: that doesn't fit a narrative. We got people being shot 1577 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,280 Speaker 1: in Kansas, but we have twenty to thirty to forty 1578 01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:16,439 Speaker 1: to fifty people being shot in Chicago every weekend. So 1579 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,760 Speaker 1: four people sign Kansas. I'm like, guys, none of this 1580 01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:22,920 Speaker 1: makes sense the way that we're reacting anymore. Think about 1581 01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:28,800 Speaker 1: how we we We just accept that this exists. I mean, 1582 01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,360 Speaker 1: you can't even go on a subway in New York. 1583 01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:33,120 Speaker 1: What do I always say to everybody that works for you, 1584 01:28:33,200 --> 01:28:35,360 Speaker 1: don't take the subway. Don't take this. I say, I'll 1585 01:28:35,439 --> 01:28:38,160 Speaker 1: pay for the car. You know what I do, take 1586 01:28:38,200 --> 01:28:40,360 Speaker 1: the subway. I'll take the subway. You don't listen to me. 1587 01:28:40,439 --> 01:28:42,759 Speaker 1: That's all right. They're afraid of me. It's okay, okay, 1588 01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:47,880 Speaker 1: but you're a psycho. I mean I'm not. But you know, 1589 01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:49,599 Speaker 1: in all, I got no fight just the other day 1590 01:28:49,600 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 1: on this lubway. Of course, shocking, right. You know why 1591 01:28:52,640 --> 01:28:54,519 Speaker 1: because I said to the guy who said he had 1592 01:28:54,560 --> 01:28:57,679 Speaker 1: his phone out and he's blasts in his music, stable music. 1593 01:28:57,800 --> 01:29:01,439 Speaker 1: You might like it. I don't people, let me finish, 1594 01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:02,840 Speaker 1: let me finish. I have buddy, how are you doing? 1595 01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:06,439 Speaker 1: You gotta have phones? And he goes, yeah, I gotta 1596 01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:07,920 Speaker 1: have phones. I'm like, well are they because I'm not 1597 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,160 Speaker 1: in your ears? He goes, you want me to put 1598 01:29:11,240 --> 01:29:14,439 Speaker 1: him in my ears? I said, the first place I 1599 01:29:14,479 --> 01:29:16,880 Speaker 1: put him in. Why do you do this? You know 1600 01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:18,680 Speaker 1: what he says to me. He goes, I'll put him in. 1601 01:29:18,920 --> 01:29:20,960 Speaker 1: I'll put him in my ears if you ask me nicely. 1602 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:24,120 Speaker 1: I said, this is me asking you nicely. The next 1603 01:29:24,160 --> 01:29:27,120 Speaker 1: time I ask you is when I ask God. Everyone 1604 01:29:27,200 --> 01:29:29,040 Speaker 1: in the car just started cheering, so he put him 1605 01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:32,519 Speaker 1: in his ears. I don't even know how to react 1606 01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:33,920 Speaker 1: to this. You can't react to it because you take 1607 01:29:33,920 --> 01:29:37,960 Speaker 1: a car. I tell everybody to take a car. Everybody 1608 01:29:38,439 --> 01:29:41,760 Speaker 1: on my TV staff in particular, I've I've been. I 1609 01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,680 Speaker 1: make sure that they get a per diem so they 1610 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:48,439 Speaker 1: can get a car. I mean, it's it's this world 1611 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:52,800 Speaker 1: is just full with darkness. I mean, I'm watching the 1612 01:29:52,880 --> 01:29:56,000 Speaker 1: insanity and politically in this country a It's just man, 1613 01:29:56,120 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: it gets some days, it just gets to you. I'm 1614 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:01,680 Speaker 1: reading this, this headline, I'm looking at the China and 1615 01:30:02,160 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 1: you know, really we're going to bow down in silence 1616 01:30:04,680 --> 01:30:07,559 Speaker 1: NBA players on the China issue. I know that lit 1617 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:11,120 Speaker 1: up Ethan earlier in this week, and I'm thinking, really, 1618 01:30:11,760 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 1: you can. You can trash the president, but you can't 1619 01:30:14,320 --> 01:30:17,120 Speaker 1: trash China. Look what Ethan found earlier with this woman. 1620 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:20,120 Speaker 1: She's at a press conference. She's at to ask questions 1621 01:30:21,560 --> 01:30:25,759 Speaker 1: question about it. They're trying to rip the microphone physically 1622 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,640 Speaker 1: out of her hand. She's like, excuse me, I have 1623 01:30:28,720 --> 01:30:30,920 Speaker 1: every right to ask this question.
