23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: my friend, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanho to the White House.

24
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: With this visit, the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable

25
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: bond with our cherished ally Israel. The partnership between our

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: two countries, built on our shared values, has advanced the

27
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: cause of human freedom, dignity, and peace. These are the

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: building blocks of democracy. The state of Israel is a

29
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: symbol to the world of resilience in the face of oppression.

30
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: I can think of no other state that's gone through

31
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: what they've gone, and of survival in the face of genocide.

32
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: We will never forget what the Jewish people have endured.

33
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: Your perseverance in the face of hostility, your open democracy

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: in the face of violence, and your success in the

35
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: face of tall arts is truly inspirational. The security challenges

36
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: faced by Israel are enormous, including the threat of Iran's

37
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: nuclear ambitions, which I've talked a lot about. One of

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: the worst deals I've ever seen is the Irandia. My

39
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 1: administration has already imposed new sanctions on Iran, and I

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: will do more to prevent Iran from ever developing I mean,

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 1: ever a nuclear weapon. Our alliance is based on a

42
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: deep bond of common values and common interests, and increasingly

43
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: those values and interests earned your attack by one malevolent force,

44
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: radical Islamic terror. Mr. President, You've you've shown great clarity

45
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: and courage in confronting this challenge head on. You call

46
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: for confronting Iran's terrorist regime, preventing Iran from realizing this

47
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: terrible deal into a nuclear arsenal, and you have said

48
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: that the United States is committed to preventing Iran from

49
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: getting nuclear weapons. You call for the defeat of visis.

50
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: Under your leadership, I believe we can reverse the rising

51
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: tide of radical Islam. And in this great task, as

52
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: in so many others, Israel stands with you, and I

53
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: stand with you, Mr President, in rolling back militant Islam.

54
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: We can seize an historic opportunity because, for the first

55
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: time in my lifetime, and for the first time in

56
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: the life of my country, Arab countries in the region

57
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: do not see as well as an enemy, but increasingly

58
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: as an ally. And I believe that under your leadership,

59
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: this change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to

60
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: strengthen security and advance peace. Let us seize this moment together,

61
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: let us boast your security, let us seek new avenues

62
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: of peace, and let us bring the remarkable alliance between

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Israel and the United States to even greater heights. Thank you,

64
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: Thank you, Mr President. And finally, wonder if I can

65
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: respond to something that I know from personal experience. I've

66
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 1: known President Trump for many years, and to allude to

67
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: him or to his people, his team, some of whom

68
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: I've known for many years too, can I reveal, Jared,

69
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: how long we've known you? Well, he was never small,

70
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: he was always big, it was always tall. But I've

71
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: known the President and I've known his family and his

72
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 1: team for a long time. And there is no greater

73
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: supporter of the Jewish people and the Jewish State than

74
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. I think we should put that to rest.

75
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. That what you just heard, and

76
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: this joint press conference with the Prime Minister of Israel

77
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: and the President of the United States one of our

78
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: two top stories to this was the most historic moment,

79
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: and both left very big clues as to where this

80
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: is all heading, and it is. It is a remarkable

81
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: moment that after eight years of hostility, former President Obama

82
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: showed our closest ally and the only democracy in the

83
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 1: region in the Middle East, such hostility, such transparent hatred,

84
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: even at times, in my opinion, to see this just

85
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: with one president one day. It was like when I

86
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 1: interviewed Trump, I said, will you start the process of

87
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 1: repairing relations with Israel? And he said, looked at me,

88
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: it's already done. It's already repaired. And I that it's

89
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: not often in an interview that I get flustered a little.

90
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: I got a little flustered because that's all he said

91
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: on it. It's done. I fixed it. I'm not. Things

92
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: are different now, and if you pay very very close

93
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: attention to the deep, you see this deep friendship that

94
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 1: they already had established years ago. And I've known the

95
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: Prime Minister going back, you know, decades now and consider

96
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: him a friend. But I also think for a long

97
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: time he was the only leader on the world stage,

98
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Israel, that had the moral clarity

99
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: and understanding about the evil that exists in our time,

100
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: which is radical Islam. And we had a president that

101
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: wouldn't even say those words. But if you listen when

102
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: the when President Trump said one, stay to stay, whatever's

103
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: gonna work. You know, I'll think any any new way,

104
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: any new paradigm, I'm willing to make it work. We

105
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: will work out a deal. It is possible. Was historic

106
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: and he didn't say less, maybe you should hold off

107
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: on settlements for a while, but it was. There was

108
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: no rancor, there was no there was no contentiousness. There

109
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: was the deep, abiding respect and commitment to shared values

110
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: that we would want with our closest ally. It was

111
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,280
Speaker 1: a pretty amazing moment. And then Trump went further. He said, no,

112
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 1: there's a possibility now for a bigger embed or deal,

113
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: and that to me was a clue. And when the

114
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: Prime Minister said, and I stand with you, Mr President,

115
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: and standing against Mountain and your standing against militant Islam,

116
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: and then he said this, we can seize a historic opportunity.

117
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: For the first time in my lifetime and for the

118
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: first time in the life of my country. Arab countries

119
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: in the region do not see Israel as an enemy,

120
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: but increasingly as an ally. And I believe under your leadership,

121
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: this change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to

122
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: strengthen security and advance the cause of peace. Let us

123
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: seize this moment together. I believe history potentially, very strongly

124
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: could look back at this press conference at the beginning

125
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,960
Speaker 1: as the beginning the start of real peace in the

126
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: Middle East. Now, what do I believe they're suggesting here?

127
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: And I've I've been saying this now on the air

128
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: for some time. Things in the Middle East have shifted dramatically,

129
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: a specially in in light of Iran's nuclear ambition and

130
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Iran's obvious desire for pegeminy in the region, and Iran's

131
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 1: hostility towards Egypt and hostility towards Saudi Arabia, and what

132
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: has been building. And I think the Prime Minister alluded

133
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: to this, and I don't think even I don't know

134
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: if he meant to or not, because even Donald Trump

135
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: so well, I didn't know you were gonna be saying that.

136
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: But okay, yeah, I agree with that. What I what

137
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: I interpret that to be my own personal point of view,

138
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: is that we are seeing the emergence of an alliance

139
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: that could be the strongest in the history of the world.

140
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: In other words, not unlike World War two where enemies

141
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 1: joined forces to defeat. Rather, you know, radicalism known as

142
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: Nazism in their time, evil in their time. So it

143
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 1: is not beyond one's imagination to see that an alliance

144
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: with America, the United States, and Israel and Saudi Arabia,

145
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: because they're very existence similarly is threatened. Remember the Iranian

146
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,839
Speaker 1: sponsored rebels were fighting them through Yemen and still are,

147
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: so they have a common enemy. We heard the speech

148
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: of General Alsisi of Egypt when he took on radical

149
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: Islamis the Jordanians. In many ways, I would argue of

150
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 1: hanging by a threat at any moment is the possibility

151
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: of radicalism taking over in that state. So you could

152
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: see and add Great Britain to the mix. You could

153
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: have the UK, the United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia, the

154
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 1: Jordanians and Egyptians joining forces to defeat Iranian aggression, the

155
00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: number one state sponsor of terror, and hopefully in the

156
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: aftermath it leads to a never ending peace. But as

157
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister said, there are certain conditions that must occur.

158
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: The Palestinians must recognize Israel's right to exist as a

159
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: state as their homeland, and they have to stop calling

160
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: for Israel's destruction and death to us and all the

161
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 1: other anti Semitic things that have gone on, and stop

162
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: educating their kids, you know, towards radicalism. And Israel must

163
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: retain the right to secure borders and control over the

164
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: entire area of the west of west of the Jordan River.

165
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: And if those two conditions which the Prime ministers always

166
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: laid out or met, a deal can be struck and

167
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: a piece can be struck, and instead of constant, almost

168
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: unrelenting fighting over the decades, it might come to an end.

169
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: I think this moment in Donald Trump's presidency could be

170
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: the most historic yet. Let's see. Time's gonna tell now.

171
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: Of course, our other big story is you know, I've

172
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: always said journalism is dead, and what you now seeing

173
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: playing out as it relates to General Flynn now proves

174
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: everything that I have said about the press. The media.

175
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 1: They are abusively biased. The press in this country has

176
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: an agenda, and they're lazy, and most of these people

177
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: are overpaid, but they have with their I don't even

178
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: call him mainstream the left propaganda media. There's a massive

179
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: informational crisis now going on in the country. You know,

180
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: the media is rushing to complete the narrative. He got

181
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: NBC's Chuck Todd, the same idiot that said that the

182
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,719
Speaker 1: seven country Temporary band was a religious test. He's now

183
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: claiming this is worse than the Iran contra scandal. Chuck

184
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: your note. You know Tim Russer, not even close. You're

185
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: the opposite of Russer. Russer would have waited to get

186
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: this right anyway. And yeah, Flynn was wrong for not

187
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: telling the whole story to the Vice President and the president.

188
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: He paid a big price for that. As it relates

189
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: to his call with the Russian ambassador, there's no evidence

190
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: that he broke any law. It's a great article out

191
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: today about how, as a matter of fact, the seventy

192
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 1: nine nine Logan Act, not a single person that has

193
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: ever been charged with this passed by the Fifth Congress,

194
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 1: and responds to a state legislator who tried on a

195
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: personal level to negotiate peace with France. That's not what happened.

196
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: He's the incoming National security advisor reaching out to his counterparts.

197
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 1: That's his job at that time to begin the process

198
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: of transition and getting to know people. If you want

199
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: to talk about the law and what laws may have

200
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: been violated, while I have laws that I can point

201
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: out to you. Let's look at eighteen US Code seven,

202
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: the disclosure disclosure of classified information. In other words, leaks

203
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: from the intelligence community, whoever knowingly within the intelligence community,

204
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 1: I'll add, willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, or otherwise makes available

205
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: to an unauthorized person, or publishes or uses in any

206
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: manner prejudicial to the safety or interests of the United

207
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 1: States or for the benefit of any foreign government, to

208
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: the detriment of the United States. Any classified information. That's

209
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: a crime. And then the New York Times comes out

210
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,199
Speaker 1: with his big, big headline today. You think, oh my gosh.

211
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: By the way, the same New York Times where Tom

212
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 1: Friedman is comparing this to p Old Harbor in nine eleven,

213
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: Trump campaign aids had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence. Okay,

214
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 1: the only problem is, once you read it, there's a

215
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: lot of caveats in there. The intelligence agencies, they go

216
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: on to say the officials interviewed, you know, say they

217
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: had seen no evidence of cooperation with the Russians. It's

218
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: not unusual, by the way, for Americans to have contact

219
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: with foreign intelligence officials, sometimes unwittingly in countries. But the

220
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: issue here is we have a law. It's an Espionage Act,

221
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: that's what it's called. And in the Espionage Act, if

222
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 1: they are surveilling Russia or Russian ambassadors was the case here,

223
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: and they hear an American voice they identified as General Flynn,

224
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: They're supposed to shut the recording off when he talks,

225
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: and they're not supposed to disclose it because if they do,

226
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: it becomes a police state. As our friend Eli Lake

227
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 1: said yesterday in his piece, as we had on the program,

228
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna explain exactly what's going on when we get back.

229
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, we also get to your calls. Those are

230
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: two top stories today. Very very optimistic after this press conference. Now,

231
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: I do have one programming note. I will be in

232
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Washington tomorrow interviewing Prime Minister Netan Yahoo. I also have

233
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: an upcoming interview with the Speaker of the House. All right,

234
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: So I'll give you more information as that becomes available.

235
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: But what happened today is is incredible history before our

236
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: very eyes. Now that Uncle Joe has left the building,

237
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: maybe we can get back to bringing jobs. Olds that's jobs,

238
00:14:35,000 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 1: Jo b s. This is the Sean Hannity Show. You've

239
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: gotta understand the scope of what happened here. We have

240
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 1: a government that does their job. We have an intelligence

241
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: community that does their job. It's it's called signet is

242
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: or SIG in intelligence s I G. Sign it right.

243
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: And so what they do is the n s A,

244
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: the CIA, other agencies. They do their job and they

245
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: spy on countries for our national security, national defense. That's

246
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: what they do. And when this happens to not have

247
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: a violation. It is the leaking of which is a violation.

248
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: Whoever knowingly, willfully communicates or otherwise makes available to an

249
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: unauthorized person publishes any classified information obtained by the processes

250
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: of communication intelligence from the communications of any foreign government

251
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: shall be fined under this title or in prison more

252
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: than ten years, etcetera. Said, all right, So it is

253
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 1: when intelligence agencies, by law, when they identify that an

254
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: American is on the line, they are supposed to minimize

255
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: the recordings of the American individual because it's not legal

256
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: for the government without a warrant. This is a constitutional

257
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: principle two to listen in to other people's conversations. Then

258
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: you have holdovers leftovers from the Obama administration within the

259
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: intelligence community. Now this should be fairly straightforward and finding

260
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: out who did this because it's a felony, it's a

261
00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: violation of the Espionage Act, and it's also in many

262
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 1: ways dangerous to our national security. I don't think the

263
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: lie here is or what's labeled the lie by so

264
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 1: many is that significant, because I think it would be

265
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure for an incoming and national security advisor

266
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 1: to talk to his counterports in Russia, and especially if

267
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: they are growing hostilities. Yeah, there's a new sheriff coming

268
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 1: into town. Things are going to change. These are not

269
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: new things because they were expressed repeatedly by the Trump administration.

270
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: And so when you have who was a Glenn Greenwald,

271
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 1: I guess in his piece, although he takes a different

272
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: position than me, he had a very thorough piece that

273
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: he wrote. You know, when the senior US government official

274
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: committed a serious felony and Ducks extreme crimes were committed

275
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: by what the Washington Post called nine current and former

276
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: officials were in senior positions of multiple agencies at the

277
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: time of these calls. And Flynn privately discussed U S

278
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: sanctions with Russia, and then he didn't tell the Vice

279
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 1: president the truth. And that's where it became a quote

280
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,680
Speaker 1: trust issue. This is not a violation of the Logan Act,

281
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: which nobody's ever been prosecuted under. But the question is

282
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,320
Speaker 1: the danger here is is the government could be intercepting

283
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: your phone calls making those things published, and that is,

284
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 1: by definition, in my mind, the very definition of a

285
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 1: police state. I'll explain more on the other side. They

286
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: could have been traders in the White House. The things

287
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 1: that are being said, the misinformation, the disinformation, The propaganda media,

288
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: the alt left propaganda media is beside itself and they're

289
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: doing any and every single thing that they can do

290
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 1: to bring down not only the president, but any they

291
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 1: want as much collateral damage as they can possibly create. Now,

292
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: the problem that they've created for themselves is that they've

293
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: they're they're reaching so far, and they're throwing so much

294
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: up against the wall every day. They have missed number one,

295
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: the political earthquake that is unfolding before our very eyes,

296
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 1: a massive, a massive restructuring of government in Washington and

297
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 1: the bureaucracy in particular. They're missing the overall damage and

298
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 1: threat to journalism itself, which it's impact is going to

299
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: be hard to measure for a long long time, and Also,

300
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: they're missing the big picture of an agenda that is

301
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: getting complete. Did you know so you know you have

302
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: chucked odd out there the media is you know, this

303
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: is worse than Iran contract. Isn't it great for him

304
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: to jump to conclusions? You know, the same guy that

305
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: said the ban on seven countries countries was a religious

306
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: litmus test, even though it did an impact of the

307
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 1: world's Muslims. Is NBC proud of this guy? Is that

308
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 1: they proud of their programming? Do they even have any

309
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: fidelity to the truth whatsoever anymore? That's why journalism is dead.

310
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: There's totally dead, done complete, and they advanced these false

311
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,719
Speaker 1: narratives and they avoid the biggest issue here. Yeah, okay,

312
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: I'll agree General Flynn was wrong. He should have told

313
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 1: the truth, the whole truth, to the Vice president and

314
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: the president. And that's where the issue came up for him.

315
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: Not anything legal, as you are being told on a

316
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: regular basis. But you know, as we're reporting here, there's

317
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 1: no indication that Flynn misled the FBI when they interviewed him.

318
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: He didn't break any law. If you're citing the sevente

319
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: Logan Act that's never been used before. Good luck with that,

320
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: because it's not going anywhere, and we know as much.

321
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: And I'll get to that in a second, because congressional

322
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: Republicans have told us that. Now, you know, look at

323
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: what Tom Friedman the New York Times, the paper of record,

324
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 1: compared to nine eleven in Pearl Harbor. Here's what he said.

325
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:32,680
Speaker 1: I share Mika's real outrage on this issue. I don't

326
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: care what he told Pence. We only care what he

327
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,119
Speaker 1: told Pence because Pence went out and basically misled the public,

328
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: unfaced the nation. The issue is what did he tell Trump? Um?

329
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: Did he and Trump actually cook up this whole thing?

330
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:49,440
Speaker 1: After the Russians did not respond harshly to the eviction

331
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: of their spies and diplomats, Trump actually tweeted out some

332
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: positive encouragement of this. Did the two of them cook

333
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 1: this up along? And it gets show to two other issues.

334
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,800
Speaker 1: The first is we have never taken seriously from the

335
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: very beginning, Russia hacked our election. That was a nine

336
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: eleven scale event. They attacked the core of our very democracy.

337
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: That was a Pearl Harbor scale event. Can you imagine

338
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: if Hillary Clinton, you know where where Trump was, what

339
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 1: the right would be doing on this issue? This goes

340
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 1: to the very core of our democracy. This is it.

341
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,040
Speaker 1: This is the paper of record, the New York Times.

342
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: I'll get two more on that in a minute. It

343
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. There's been no evidence that Russia hacked

344
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: our election, not one bit. It's never been proven that

345
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 1: the leaks from about Hillary came from the Russians. Just

346
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: the opposite. As a matter of fact is in recent

347
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: days we've been learning more and more about it, you know,

348
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: But they don't you know, did they not read the

349
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: joint report from the FBI and the Department of Homeland

350
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: Security and it found that Russia didn't did not interfere

351
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: in vote total in any way? Well, how's that interfering

352
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,640
Speaker 1: with our election? And what's the difference between what President

353
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: Obama tried to do to be b net and Yahoo

354
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: with taxpayer dollars? No, less, he tried to infiltrate and

355
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: defeat Prime Minister Netan Yahoo, which was a disgrace. Then

356
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: you got it. Then you've got disgraced former anchor Danny Rather,

357
00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: he says on Phace Watergate was the biggest political scandal

358
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: in my lifetime until maybe now. It was the closest

359
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 1: we came to a debilitating constitutional crisis until maybe now

360
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, seriously, then you've got you know, all these

361
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: people in the media patting themselves on the back, you know,

362
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 1: praising the media for making Flynn's resignation possible. You know, it's, uh,

363
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 1: it's the tip of the iceberg when it comes to

364
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: the alt left media and their coordination and this misinformation

365
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: claiming that the president's temporary travel ban is a religious

366
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: litmus test or anti Muslim. It makes for good fearmongering,

367
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: but the facts are very just the opposite. You know,

368
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: the media says a voter fraud. They can't prove voter fraud.

369
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's proven voted. Well, what about a Mexican citizen living

370
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: in Texas named Rose Rosa Maria Ortega sentenced the eight

371
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: years in prison for voting illegally in twelve and fourteen.

372
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 1: What about the incidences that we found in Detroit and elsewhere.

373
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: You know, the s of the over six hundred people

374
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: arrested here, you know, when they talk about the immigration raids,

375
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 1: had been convicted of felonies like murder, sexual assault, drug trafficking.

376
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: Seventy two people. It's all examples of how corrupt the

377
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: media is here now we have the House Intelligence Committee chairman,

378
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,400
Speaker 1: who's now out there saying Representative Devin Nuniez, who's gonna

379
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: be on TV tonight, that there's gonna be held to

380
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 1: pay if the FBI cannot explain why General Mike Flynn's

381
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:59,240
Speaker 1: private conversations were wired tap, transcribed and released to the media, Because,

382
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 1: as I've been saying, that's a violation of the Espionage Act,

383
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: and it's not going to be that hard to find out,

384
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: because I'm telling you right now, the people that have

385
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: access to those transcripts are very the numbers of very few,

386
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 1: and the law is clear eighteen US Code seven. Whoever

387
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: knowingly willfully communicates, furnishes, transmits, otherwise makes available to an

388
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: unauthorized person or publishers, or uses in any manner prejudicial

389
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: to the safety or interests of the US and for

390
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: the benefit of any foreign government, to the detriment of

391
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: the US any classified information that is a crime. That

392
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,960
Speaker 1: is a huge crime, and all the other things that

393
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,360
Speaker 1: I said to you, comparing it to nine eleven, comparing

394
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,159
Speaker 1: it to Pearl Harbor, I think maybe the media is

395
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: in a little bit and an overreaction mode. Could they

396
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 1: be in the mode that they want to take down

397
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: a president. You know what about all the Obama holdovers

398
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: here that could be responsible. Anyway, back to newon Ya's

399
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: for a second, he said, I expect for the FBI

400
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: to tell me what's going on. They better have a

401
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: good answer. They better. Do you realize the danger of

402
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: having your government tap your phone calls released the information

403
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: to anybody they deem a political threat? Do you understand that? America,

404
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,480
Speaker 1: as we know, it's gone, it's over, it's done. And

405
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,239
Speaker 1: yet that's what the intelligence community. Now some in that

406
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: community politicize. And I have great respect for intelligence and

407
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,119
Speaker 1: intelligence gathering and the need for it, and and we

408
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: we need leaders that respect human life, and we need

409
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: leaders that use that intelligence for good for for good reasons,

410
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: not bad reasons. So yeah, they better have a good answer.

411
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: The big problem, he says, I see here as you

412
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: have an American citizen who had his phone calls recorded illegally. Now,

413
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 1: the Washington Free Beacon, I have an interesting piece out

414
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: the Trump administration. Sources are telling the Washington Free Beacon

415
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: that the attempt to discredit General Flynn was engineered by

416
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:04,399
Speaker 1: Obama holdovers inside the administration who coordinated their strategy with

417
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Obama allies in the media and elsewhere. That is what

418
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: I was saying yesterday. They said it a little more

419
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: succinctly than I did. Anyway. The piece goes on former

420
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: Obama administration confidence wanted a handicap President Donald Trump and

421
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: the National security apparatus and preserved the nuclear deal with Iran,

422
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: and a behind the scenes effort to plant a series

423
00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: of damaging stories about Flynn to the national media. The

424
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: effort said to include former Obama administration advisor Ben Rhodes,

425
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: the architect of a separate White House effort to create

426
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: what he described as a pro Iran echo chamber. He's

427
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: nothing but a propagandist and a liar, including a small

428
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,880
Speaker 1: task force of Obama loyalists who would deluge media outlets

429
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: with stories aimed at eroding Flynn's credibility. According to multiple sources,

430
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: the operation primarily focused on discrediting Flynn, an opponent of

431
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: the Iranian nuclear deal, in order to hand cap the

432
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: Trump administration's efforts to disclose the secret details of the

433
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 1: nuclear deal with Iran that had been long hidden by

434
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: the Obama administration. We don't even know what they are

435
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:15,200
Speaker 1: because once again Obama disregarded the law and of course

436
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,919
Speaker 1: separation of powers and coequal branches, and he didn't go

437
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: to the Senate as this was a treaty. Insiders familiar

438
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: with the anti Flynn campaign told The Free Beacon that

439
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 1: these Obama loyalists plotted in the months before Trump's inauguration

440
00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 1: to establish a set of roadblocks before Trump's national security team,

441
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 1: which includes several prominent opponents of diplomacy with Iran. They

442
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,440
Speaker 1: first reported this in The Free Beacon in January. Quote

443
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: It's undeniable that the campaign to discredit Flynn was well

444
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:48,240
Speaker 1: underway before inauguration day, with a very troublesome and politicized

445
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 1: series of leaks designed to undermine him, said one veteran

446
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:56,959
Speaker 1: national security advisor with close White House ties. As pattern

447
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,920
Speaker 1: reminds me of the lead up to the Iran Deal

448
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: and probably future features the same cast members, Which is

449
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: it's actually Ben Rhodes National Iranian American Council and the

450
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: Iranian Mueller's celebrating today, said one veteran foreign policy insider

451
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 1: close to Flynn and the White House. They know their

452
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 1: number one target is Iran, and they all knew, and

453
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,320
Speaker 1: they all knew their little secret sacred agreement with the

454
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: RAND is going off the book. So they got rid

455
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: of Flynn before any of the secret agreement even surfaced.

456
00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: And Flynn had been preparing to publicize many of the

457
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: details about the nuclear deal that had been intentionally hit

458
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: in Biobama and his administration in an effort to garner

459
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: support for the deal. In other words, how to lie

460
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: to you? What did Julian Assange wants say? Said? Transparency

461
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,840
Speaker 1: makes for good governance. One of the things Trump has

462
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,480
Speaker 1: been doing is pretty transparent. Flynn is now gone before

463
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 1: anybody can see what happened. Concerned the campaign against Flynn

464
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 1: is going to be extended other prominent figures. I guess

465
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna try and pick them off one by one.

466
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: And the Trump administration. This was not the result of

467
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 1: a series of random events. And then did anybody know

468
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: that Obama's ambassador, Remember we told you before he even

469
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: got elected, his eventual ambassador to Russia went to Russia

470
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: to meet with those counterparts. Well that he promised to

471
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 1: weaken NATO during his pre election Moscow visit. I mean,

472
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: think about that. We noted the Washington Post before he

473
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 1: was elected. Obama dispatched his future Russian ambassador Mike mcfauld

474
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: on a trip to Moscow. Well, nobody that's upset now

475
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: was upset then, and the Post made no mention of

476
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: who he met with or what they discussed. But we've

477
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: learned some more disturbing details. Turns out, one week before

478
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand and eight election, and Obama was pretty

479
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: confident who's gonna win, he met with Russian officials and

480
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: openly discussed weakening efforts to expand NATO, And in October

481
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight article, the US elections come to

482
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 1: Moscow Wow. Obama has been working to improve clarity of

483
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: vision for relations with Russia. One of his foreign policy advisers,

484
00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: Mike McFaul, made a trip to Moscow to meet with

485
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: various Russian officials and interest groups, speaking off the record

486
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:11,760
Speaker 1: and answering questions anyway, including as well as Russia's concerns

487
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: about Ukraine and Georgia receiving NATO membership action plans, so

488
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 1: they might have you know, by these standards, Ukraine is

489
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: far from united on the issue of entry into NATO,

490
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 1: and while many are undecided. According to if Ukraine were

491
00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 1: to receive a membership, it seems like they got a

492
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: promise from the incoming president. House Intel Chair. It's pretty

493
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: sure Obama didn't get a warrant to wire tap Flynn.

494
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: This is an interesting point to Devin. Nuni has said

495
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 1: that there are only two ways that intelligence agencies can

496
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: listen in on an American's phone call, after obtaining a warrant,

497
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: or inadvertently, such as in the case of Flynn, who

498
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: was speaking with his foreign official counterpart being spied on.

499
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 1: Nunia has said, it's pretty clear there was no warrant,

500
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: and it's pretty clear that's not the case. I'm pretty

501
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: sure the FBI didn't have a warrant on Michael Flynn.

502
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: To listen to an American's phone call, you would have

503
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: to go to court. That would be all the paperwork there.

504
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: So I'm guessing it does not exist. Whoever did it,

505
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: it's illegal. He goes on to say, well, I'm sorry

506
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: you didn't hear about this on ABC yesterday or Today,

507
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:20,760
Speaker 1: or NBC or CBS or MSNBC. You didn't read about

508
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: that in New York Times Today, New York Times. Eli

509
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,600
Speaker 1: Lake got it so right, the political assassination of Michael Flynn,

510
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: and it's so right. Jeff Lord had a good piece.

511
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 1: He's gonna join us later about that as well. And

512
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: now the issue is who are the former Obama officials

513
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: loyalists that are waging a secret campaign to alice Trump

514
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: officials and why are they doing it? You know, I'd

515
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: like to know, is this an Obama coup? You know,

516
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: Flynn was housted by former Obama officials. Why to protect

517
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 1: the Iranian deal? The House Oversight Committee, by the way,

518
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: they're on investigating Flynn, according to Jason Chavitz, is nothing

519
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 1: to investigate. And even the White House Counsel whole President Trump,

520
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: no crimes were committed. You know, there's an enormous problem

521
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: of this bureaucracy. This is the swamp of Washington. Even

522
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:10,800
Speaker 1: the Kremlin played it down for crying out loud, but

523
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: who believes them anyway? They took down Do you have anonymous, unaccountable,

524
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 1: unelected spies that took down Michael Flynn? And then you

525
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: have you know, this is what police states do. And

526
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: The New York Times goes on to say, oh, Trump

527
00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: campaign aides had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence, but there's

528
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 1: and they also said in the piece, there's no evidence

529
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 1: of such cooperation, And why didn't you write the piece.

530
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 1: It's so pathetic, and I say, we have an informational

531
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: crisis and journalism is dead. This is the work that

532
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: they should do. You know what these people are. They're lazy,

533
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: they are abusively biased, and they're overpaid. And they've done you,

534
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: the American people of severe disservice. You're listening to the

535
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: talk show host who still works harder than the President

536
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: of the United States. This is Sean at a show.

537
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,760
Speaker 1: All right, we'll continue our top two stories today. In

538
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: the next hour. We'll check in with former Ambassador uh

539
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: of the u N for Israel, Dori Gold is going

540
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: to join us. Also, our top story is who in

541
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 1: the intelligence community is violating the Espionage Act and leaking

542
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:39,520
Speaker 1: information to politicize all of those in the Trump administration?

543
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: And are these people Obama related? And how do we

544
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: get to the truth? And will they convene a grand jury?

545
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: Will the Attorney General do this? And where does this

546
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 1: go from here? It's not where the media is telling you.

547
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: It's going their way off track. We'll get to that

548
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,560
Speaker 1: and more in your calls eight nine for one, Shawn,

549
00:33:56,600 --> 00:34:09,280
Speaker 1: As we continue, h Minchael Flynn. General Flynn is a

550
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 1: wonderful man. I think he's been treated very very unfairly

551
00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 1: by the media, as I call it the fake media

552
00:34:15,880 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: in many cases, and I think it's really a sad

553
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: thing that he was treated so badly. I think in

554
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: addition to that from intelligence, papers are being leaked, things

555
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 1: are being leaked. It's criminal action, criminal act, and it's

556
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: been going on for a long time before me, but

557
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: now it's really going on, and people are trying to

558
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:39,399
Speaker 1: cover up for a terrible loss that the Democrats had

559
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 1: under Hillary Clynton. I think it's very very unfair what's

560
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: happened to General Flynn, the way he was treated, and

561
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: the documents and papers that were illegally I stressed that

562
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,719
Speaker 1: illegally leaked, very very unfair, illegally leaked. Anyway, glad you

563
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,719
Speaker 1: with us Hour two of the Sean Hannity Show. Two

564
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: top stories today, the historic press conference and meeting with

565
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:06,120
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahoo and the President

566
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: President Trump. Earlier today. Dorry Gold joins us at the

567
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: bottom of the hour. The ambassador, former UN Ambassador and

568
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 1: currently the Foreign Ministry Director. So we'll get back to that,

569
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,319
Speaker 1: but it's everything we have now discussed. It is now

570
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:23,720
Speaker 1: an intelligence community that has time after time they're clearly

571
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 1: leaking and waging war against the current administration. How many

572
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 1: Obama holdovers are waging this secret campaign? How many were

573
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 1: involved in the leaking of intelligence to out General Flynn?

574
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: You know, as anybody in the media do they dare

575
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 1: discussed that Obama's ambassador to Russia even before he was elected.

576
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: You know, did he promise to weaken NATO during the

577
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:48,799
Speaker 1: pre election Moscow visit that nobody seems to pick up on.

578
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: We now have the House Intelligence Chair that's saying he's

579
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:55,360
Speaker 1: pretty sure Obama did not get a warrant to wire

580
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: tap FLYNT. These are all violations of law. And as

581
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: Eli Lake I thought wrote a great column yesterday, was

582
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 1: way ahead of the curve the political assassination of Michael Flynn,

583
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 1: And I think it goes a lot deeper. And of

584
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:12,000
Speaker 1: course it's if you look normally, intercepts of US officials

585
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: and citizens are some of the most tightly held government secrets.

586
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: For good reason. Selectively disclosing details of private conversations monitored

587
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: by the FBI or the n s A gives the

588
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: permanent state, meaning the swamp of bureaut bureaucratic class some

589
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 1: that may be an intelligence that care more about politics

590
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: than security of the country. That is not everybody in intelligence.

591
00:36:33,239 --> 00:36:35,799
Speaker 1: I have great respect for the intelligence community, but it

592
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: gives them the power to destroy reputations from the cloak

593
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 1: of anonymity. Quote. This is what police states do. And

594
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 1: Devin Nuniez is going to be on TV tonight said

595
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 1: to Eli Lake about the lead conversations, this does appear

596
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: to be a well orchestrated effort to attack Flynn and

597
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 1: others in the administration. So that is the real story here,

598
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: unlike what the media is talking about Watergate two and

599
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: everything else that they have been saying, and how they

600
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: breathlessly report so many things that just are not true.

601
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: But I think the real story is former Obama loyalists

602
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: waging a secret campaign to OUs Flynn and threatening to

603
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: oust others. Who are these leakers? Who are these people?

604
00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 1: And was Flynn really a victim of this coup? And anyway,

605
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,040
Speaker 1: so joining us now to discuss and talk about it.

606
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: As Patrick Poole, national Security terrorism correspondent for p J Media,

607
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: Rich Higgins, Vice president Intelligence national Security Programs, former manager

608
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 1: with the Department of Defense Combating Terrorism Technical support and

609
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: their regular warfare support program. In other words, Black Ops

610
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:43,160
Speaker 1: and Joe Degeneva founding partner of the law firm De

611
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: Geneva and Untsing. Welcome both of you, and of course

612
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: he's been, you know, around Washington many many years. What's

613
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,240
Speaker 1: your take, Joe, So, I don't think there's any doubts

614
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 1: on that. What started right after the election as an

615
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:58,720
Speaker 1: effort to de legitimize President Trump has now transmogrified into

616
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: a new form of what they called the resistance, which

617
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 1: is the violation of federal law by the leaking of

618
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,880
Speaker 1: signals intelligence to news organizations in an attempt to basically

619
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: stage a coup deta individually against people and individuals and

620
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 1: even the President himself. There's just no doubt at this

621
00:38:17,440 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 1: point that federal criminal statutes under the espionageac have been violated.

622
00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,760
Speaker 1: The Attorney General Jeff Sessions should in panel a grand

623
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: jury issues subpoenas to a number of people. There it's

624
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,400
Speaker 1: a fairly limited number of people who have access to

625
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,319
Speaker 1: these intercepts and the transcripts of them. Get every one

626
00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:36,720
Speaker 1: of those people in front of a grand jury, start

627
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: taking testimony, and get to the bottom of who has

628
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:43,839
Speaker 1: violated the Espionage AC There simply is no doubt that

629
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:48,799
Speaker 1: someone or some group of people, both current and former individuals,

630
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: are responsible for this. And by the way, this is

631
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 1: not the daily routine of our daily intelligence people who

632
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: work at the ground level. This is being coordinated by

633
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: senior officials, uh former union officials and current senior officials

634
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: in the intelligence establishment. And it needs to be weeded

635
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: out immediately, and a signal needs to be said that

636
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: a grand jury is going to be formed and people

637
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: are going to be called before to give testimony. I

638
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: think that's very, very important that they do it. Otherwise

639
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna keep happening. Um, let me play Patrick.

640
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: I thought you had an incredible piece that you tore

641
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: up the New York Times piece from late last night

642
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: early into today's edition. You know Trump campaign aids had

643
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 1: repeated contacts with Russian intelligence, and then you even point

644
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: out what they say. The officials interviewed in recent weeks

645
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 1: said that so far they hadn't seen evidence of cooperation,

646
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: even though they insinuated. And also we have anonymous sources

647
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: the New York Times obviously trying to do a hip piece,

648
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: and then you have Tom Friedman New York Times. This

649
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: is what he said, I don't care what he told Pence.

650
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: We only care what he told Pence because Pence went

651
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: out and basically misled the public unfascination. The issue is

652
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 1: what did he tell Trump? Um? Did he and actually

653
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 1: cook up this whole thing? After the Russians did not

654
00:40:04,520 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 1: respond harshly to the eviction of their spies and diplomats,

655
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: Trump actually tweeted out some positive encouragement of this. Did

656
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:14,600
Speaker 1: the two of them cook this up along? And it

657
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: gets Joe to two other issues. The first is we

658
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: have never taken seriously from the very beginning. Russia hacked

659
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: our election. That was a nine eleven scale event. They

660
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: attacked the core of our very democracy. That was a

661
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,160
Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor scale event. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton

662
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 1: you know where where Trump was, what the right would

663
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,960
Speaker 1: be doing on this issue. This goes to the very

664
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 1: core of our democracy. Is there any evidence Patrick pull

665
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 1: to support that at all? Any evidence that you see,

666
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 1: because I haven't seen it, Sean. That's one of the

667
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:49,360
Speaker 1: most remarkable things about this incident is that time and

668
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 1: again with all these media reports, there's no there there.

669
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 1: Everything has been based off of anonymous sourcing. You know,

670
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 1: there's been I've not seen a single publicly identify source

671
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: in any of these Washington Post New York Times articles.

672
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: And that Charles Croudhammer made the point to the other night.

673
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 1: He said, you know, this is this is a cover

674
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: up without a crime. Um, there's nothing with what General

675
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 1: Flynn did as the incoming National Security advisor this conversation,

676
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 1: even if they had discussed sanctions, there was nothing. Well,

677
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: try to point to the Logan Act from sevent nine,

678
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 1: of which note not one person has ever been prosecuted

679
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: in any way. Obama's own future ambassador to Russia actually

680
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:36,800
Speaker 1: went there before Obama was even elected. What did he discuss?

681
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: I mean that would be as as equal, the equivalent,

682
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 1: or worse. And uh and Rich, I know there are

683
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: great people that are in our intelligence community, and I

684
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: don't want to disparage them in any way, but certainly

685
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:50,239
Speaker 1: you've got to admit that there are those here that,

686
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 1: as Joe Degennova pointed out, that are clearly playing politics

687
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,399
Speaker 1: and and violating the Espionage Act. Sure, Sean, I mean

688
00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,920
Speaker 1: that this is this is covering up for the past

689
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:04,000
Speaker 1: eight years of malfeasance. Um, their dealings with the Muslim Brotherhood,

690
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 1: their dealings with Iran policy mass after policy mess, after

691
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 1: national security disaster after disaster, what are they going to do?

692
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:15,879
Speaker 1: I mean, my point to the Trump administration is, when

693
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: you are going up Omaha Beach, you keep going, you

694
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,359
Speaker 1: press the attack. You have to expect them to come

695
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,239
Speaker 1: after specific individuals inside of your apparatus. But it's really

696
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:29,439
Speaker 1: important that we understand that Trump's fund fighting a forefront war.

697
00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,759
Speaker 1: The president is really under attacked by the media, the

698
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,600
Speaker 1: left elements of the bureaucracy, and the rhinos, and this

699
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 1: form of political worker is going to continue. We know that,

700
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, up next on their list will be Bannon

701
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 1: and Miller and Kelly Anne and Gorka, And you know,

702
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:46,920
Speaker 1: we have to understand that the battle that was the

703
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:49,959
Speaker 1: election is going to be the battle that is this administration.

704
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 1: We have to maintain that discipline and keep that steady

705
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: pressure on the system. Now, I want to go back

706
00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 1: to the issue of the law, Jow, which is where

707
00:42:57,160 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: you are an expert more than anybody else that I know.

708
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,080
Speaker 1: But this is not the only instance of this. This

709
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,880
Speaker 1: is happening time and time and time again. And is

710
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 1: it just the Espionage Act that we're talking about? What

711
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,799
Speaker 1: other laws potentially could have been broken here. Well, there's

712
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 1: a pattern here, uh sean that's been going on now

713
00:43:13,160 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: for a number of months and it predates the inauguration.

714
00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: There are a number of federal statutes. There's wire fraud,

715
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: there's mail fraud, there's there's all sorts of statutes that

716
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:24,960
Speaker 1: can be used here, but the ones that matter the

717
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: most are the signals intelligence statutes. Now, if any of

718
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 1: these people, for example, let's say Ben Rhodes or John Brennan,

719
00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:33,719
Speaker 1: is interviewed by the FBI, they have to tell the

720
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 1: truth when they're interviewed or take the fifth. If they lie,

721
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 1: then of course you have what's called the false statement.

722
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: You have a thousand and one. If they lie before

723
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:44,480
Speaker 1: a grand jury, you have perjury as well as false statements.

724
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:48,160
Speaker 1: So the most important thing for the administration to do

725
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: now is to have the Department of Justice initiate a

726
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 1: serious federal criminal investigation and start interviewing people who have

727
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,680
Speaker 1: access and it's a very limited number who of access

728
00:44:00,719 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 1: to the actual intercepts and the content of those intercepts.

729
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: And in other words, a lot of people might know

730
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: that someone was intercepted. They might know that, but they

731
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: would not necessarily know the contents of the interception. So

732
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: the number of people who know actually know what was

733
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: in the recording, what was in the intercept is a

734
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:23,480
Speaker 1: very limited number. Is very important, not a complex And

735
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: this is not a complex investigation. You've you've heard repeatedly, Oh,

736
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,399
Speaker 1: it's difficult to find out about leaks. No, it isn't.

737
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: The Obama administration used subpoenas to the news media against

738
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: James Rosen at Fox. Not only did they get his

739
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: phone records, his business records, his bank records, but the

740
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 1: records of his parents out of town because they wanted

741
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: to make sure that he wasn't here. The intercept here

742
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,840
Speaker 1: was not against General Flynn. The intercept was with his

743
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: Russian counterpart and so, and that is part of ongoing

744
00:44:58,640 --> 00:45:03,760
Speaker 1: intelligence gathering by the say, by routine, routine surveillance and collection.

745
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 1: But when, but when, in the course of them doing

746
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 1: their surveillance, they get American citizens. Eli Lake I think

747
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: wrote it best when he said, this is almost never

748
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 1: disclosed because people can be destroyed. Sean. This is when

749
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,760
Speaker 1: an American citizen is known to be on a recording,

750
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 1: the recording must stop. They then must get permission from

751
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,319
Speaker 1: the court to do what's called minimization and reduce the

752
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 1: amount of information from the American citizen that is recorded.

753
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,720
Speaker 1: What has happened here is one of the most egregious

754
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 1: violations of the Espionage Act that you can think of.

755
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:43,400
Speaker 1: And the fact that there is no federal investigation already,

756
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: and I'm I'm hoping it's only because we don't know

757
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 1: about it, because this is so serious that the people

758
00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: who have done this not only would lose their clearances

759
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 1: and be suspended, they would be indicted. These are serious felonies.

760
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: Nothing is more egregious than this. Remember the non set

761
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:03,320
Speaker 1: we went through with Valerie Plaine because somebody quote unquote

762
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 1: identify her. It was Richard Armitage from the State Department

763
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 1: who leaved her identity. How the world remember how the

764
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:14,279
Speaker 1: world stopped spinning on its accessory happened? Where is the

765
00:46:14,360 --> 00:46:18,080
Speaker 1: outrage now for this? I really hope that Jeff Sessions

766
00:46:18,320 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: is meeting with his National Security Assistant Attorney General this

767
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,520
Speaker 1: morning and they are in paneling a hand for a second.

768
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,839
Speaker 1: I agree with everything you're saying, but I gotta break

769
00:46:27,920 --> 00:46:29,759
Speaker 1: stay right there, We'll come back. We'll continue with our

770
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: panel in America and American's first. Now there's a novel

771
00:46:36,680 --> 00:47:06,719
Speaker 1: idea here on the Sean Show. All right, as we

772
00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: continue with Joe Degeneva, Patrick Pool and Rich Higgins are

773
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 1: with us. Didn't want to stop you mid sentence. You

774
00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,720
Speaker 1: want the Attorney General Jeff Sessions to empower grand jury today,

775
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 1: it is fairly obvious that people with very very special

776
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 1: access to signals intelligence have disclosed it illegally, criminally to

777
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:33,640
Speaker 1: news organizations. The administration has the power to use the

778
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,920
Speaker 1: grand jury to subpoena all of the people who had

779
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: access to this information, and it can subpoena the phone

780
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 1: records of news organizations and anybody who had contact with

781
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:49,239
Speaker 1: these individuals. This is routine, it should be done. Compared

782
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:52,400
Speaker 1: to the Valerie plane case, this is a hundred times

783
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,680
Speaker 1: more serious. This is as bad as it gets. Very

784
00:47:55,719 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 1: powerful statement, Patrick, you did a great analysis. We're gonna

785
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 1: put it up on our website because we just don't

786
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:02,600
Speaker 1: have time to get into everything. But you pointed out

787
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,400
Speaker 1: that the hit on Flynn you believe was orchestrated by

788
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:10,160
Speaker 1: senior Obama officials. Explained, well, we from Adam Cradle's reporting

789
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 1: last night at the Washington Free Beacon um three names

790
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,799
Speaker 1: keep coming out. Even in my discussions with people at

791
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: the White House. Ben Rhodes, the former deputy National Security

792
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: Advisor under Obama, John Brennan, the former CIA director, and

793
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:29,879
Speaker 1: Sally Yates, the acting attorney general. That's President Trump had

794
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 1: a fire for in subordination here several weeks ago. And um,

795
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: you know, as as Joe has pointed out, Uh, this

796
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 1: is uh, this is it. I mean, if if the

797
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: deep state can strike at a sitting administration like this, uh,

798
00:48:48,239 --> 00:48:51,560
Speaker 1: they can come after anybody. Uh. This is as serious

799
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 1: as it gets. Is this can sort through the all

800
00:48:55,800 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 1: the hand ringing to see that this is a real danger.

801
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: Rich Higgins, I three, is this what police states do?

802
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: As so many have implied, And I tend to agree

803
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 1: with Laura Ingram and Eli Lake, And if I've asked

804
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 1: Joe de Jennifer, I think he would agree. Is this

805
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,239
Speaker 1: is this what we see in police states. This is

806
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,680
Speaker 1: definitely what we see in police states. This is the

807
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: intended outcome of the past eight years. Uh. You know

808
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: Obama's allies are embedded deep inside the bureaucracy. There are

809
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: leave behind in place. We are going to have to

810
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: conduct a serious house cleaning to get this ship, get

811
00:49:29,840 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: this ship right in and as do you agree with

812
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 1: Joe from your intelligence background that it is easy to

813
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,360
Speaker 1: find out who these leaders are based on the few

814
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 1: that would have knowledge of what the actual contents of

815
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: these conversations that were intercepted had. Well. I think there's

816
00:49:44,200 --> 00:49:45,960
Speaker 1: two things that we need to look at. Number one

817
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: is Obama signed in an executive order in January two

818
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 1: thousand seventeen on his way up permitting the National Security

819
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: Agency to share raw signals intelligence unprecedented. We also know

820
00:49:56,560 --> 00:50:00,000
Speaker 1: that this information, I mean even in the intelligence communit

821
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,680
Speaker 1: this is a very specialized area and for this to

822
00:50:03,719 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: be coming out it really it really I think we

823
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: can find out who did it be. I think they

824
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: should be indicted and see it's very important that they

825
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,440
Speaker 1: do because there are a lot of good troops out

826
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: there in the intelligence community that are doing the right thing.

827
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 1: You're right, and for them to have this kind of

828
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: monkey business going on, it just it's demoralizing to that.

829
00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 1: This is a very powerful half hour. I want to

830
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: thank all three of you. I promise you will have

831
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: you all back, because this is not over and should

832
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: just be the beginning. And if we don't get to

833
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: the bottom of this, we have no national security, and

834
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 1: we have no privacy in this country. Thank you all

835
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 1: for being with us. We really appreciate it. What you

836
00:50:35,719 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: saw today with the Israeli Prime Minister and the President

837
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,520
Speaker 1: is nothing short of historic. Dori Gold, the Israeli Foreign

838
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:58,600
Speaker 1: Ministry direct or former UN ambassador, joins us, next, did

839
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: I have the honor of wealth? I mean my friend

840
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 1: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyah to the White House. With this visit,

841
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 1: the United States again reaffirms our unbreakable bond with our

842
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:15,360
Speaker 1: cherished ally Israel. The partnership between our two countries, built

843
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: on our shared values, has advanced the cause of human freedom, dignity,

844
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:25,440
Speaker 1: and peace. These are the building blocks of democracy. The

845
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: state of Israel is a symbol to the world of

846
00:51:28,719 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: resilience in the face of oppression. I can think of

847
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 1: no other state that's gone through what they've gone, and

848
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:38,000
Speaker 1: of survival in the face of genocide. We will never

849
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 1: forget what the Jewish people have endured. Your perseverance in

850
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,479
Speaker 1: the face of hostility, your open democracy in the face

851
00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 1: of violence, and your success in the face of tall

852
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 1: arts is truly inspirational. The security challenges faced by Israel

853
00:51:55,520 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: are enormous, including the threat of Iran's nuclear ambition, which

854
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: I've talked a lot about. One of the worst deals

855
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: I've ever seen is the Iranda. My administration has already

856
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 1: imposed new sanctions on Iran, and I will do more

857
00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 1: to prevent Iran from ever developing I mean, ever a

858
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. Our alliance is based on a deep bond

859
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:23,120
Speaker 1: of common values and common interests, and increasingly those values

860
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:27,880
Speaker 1: and interests aroned your attack by one malevolent force, radical

861
00:52:28,080 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: Islamic terror. Mr President, You've you've shown great clarity and

862
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: courage in confronting this challenge head on. You call for

863
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: confronting Iran's terrorist regime, preventing Iran from realizing this terrible

864
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: deal into a nuclear arsenal, and you have said that

865
00:52:46,080 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: the United States is committed to preventing Iran from getting

866
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. You call for the defeat of isis. Under

867
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: your leadership, I believe we can reverse the rising tide

868
00:52:56,880 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: of radical Islam, and in this great task, as in

869
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 1: so many others, Israel stands with you, and I stand

870
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: with you, Mr President, in rolling back militant Islam. We

871
00:53:08,960 --> 00:53:12,759
Speaker 1: can seize an historic opportunity because, for the first time

872
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,319
Speaker 1: in my lifetime and for the first time in the

873
00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: life of my country. Arab countries in the region do

874
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 1: not see as well as an enemy, but increasingly as

875
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: an ally. And I believe that under your leadership, this

876
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:30,720
Speaker 1: change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen

877
00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: security and advance peace. Let us seize this moment together.

878
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 1: Let us bolster security, let us seek new avenues of peace,

879
00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 1: and let us bring the remarkable alliance between Israel and

880
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,680
Speaker 1: the United States to even greater heights. Thank you, Thank you.

881
00:53:48,800 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: Mr President. President Trump has led a very important effort

882
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: in the past few weeks, just coming into the presidency,

883
00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 1: he pointed out their violations, Iranian violations on ballistic missile tests.

884
00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:03,920
Speaker 1: By the way, these ballistic missiles are inscribed in Hebrew,

885
00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: Israel must be destroyed the Palatine the rather the Iranian

886
00:54:07,600 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: foreign ministers Zif said, well, our ballistic missiles are not

887
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: intended against any country. Now they write on the missile

888
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:20,200
Speaker 1: in Hebrew, Israel must be destroyed. So challenging Iran on

889
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:26,879
Speaker 1: its violations of ballistic missiles, imposing sanctions on Kazbaba, preventing them,

890
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:30,439
Speaker 1: making them pay for the terrorism that they uh full

891
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 1: men throughout the Middle East, and beyond, well beyond. I

892
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:38,319
Speaker 1: think that's a change that is clearly evident in since

893
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:42,719
Speaker 1: President Trump took office. I welcome that. I think it's uh.

894
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 1: Let me say this very openly. I think it's long overdue.

895
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:48,000
Speaker 1: As far as settlements, I'd like to see you hold

896
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,799
Speaker 1: back on settlements for a little bit, will work something out,

897
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,919
Speaker 1: But I would like to see a deal be made.

898
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,359
Speaker 1: I think a deal will be made. I know that

899
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 1: every president would like to. Most of them have not

900
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,239
Speaker 1: started till late because they never thought it was possible,

901
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 1: and it wasn't possible because they didn't do it. But

902
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 1: BB and I've known each other a long time, a

903
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: smart man, great negotiator, and I think we're gonna make

904
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: a deal. It might be a bigger and better deal

905
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 1: than people in this room even understand that's a possibility.

906
00:55:18,200 --> 00:55:22,800
Speaker 1: So let's see what we do. It's part that doesn't

907
00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 1: sound too optimistic, but this says good negotiating. That's the

908
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,000
Speaker 1: art of the deal. You also want to thank This

909
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: was history in the making today, the joint press conference

910
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: between the Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin net and Yahoo

911
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 1: and President Donald Trump today, and you could see the relationship.

912
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: The thought was was in the magnitude of the thaw,

913
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:50,240
Speaker 1: of what has built up hostility over the last eight years,

914
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: and what true friendship is really all about. I want

915
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,400
Speaker 1: to go back to what you just heard the President

916
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,239
Speaker 1: say and what the Prime Minister said. The Prime Minister said,

917
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 1: Mr President, and you know, talking radical Islam, we can

918
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: seize a historic opportunity. For the first time in my

919
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: lifetime and the first time in the life of my country.

920
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,839
Speaker 1: Arab countries in the region do not see Israel as

921
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: an enemy, but increasingly as an ally. And I believe

922
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:18,080
Speaker 1: under your leadership, this change in our region creates an

923
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:24,400
Speaker 1: unprecedented opportunity to strengthen security and advance peace. Let's seize

924
00:56:24,640 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: this moment together. I could say for the first time

925
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: in my lifetime that there's absolutely what he said there

926
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: is true. And what the President reiterated, he said, a

927
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:37,480
Speaker 1: bigger and better deal. Now, what to me that means

928
00:56:37,600 --> 00:56:40,359
Speaker 1: is very very simple. I think what has happened now

929
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: as you see, there is great fear and trepidation about

930
00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 1: the Iranians and nuclear armed Iran, and so that has

931
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 1: now created alliances that perhaps didn't exist before. And in

932
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: other words, who would have thought, for example, an alliance

933
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: with the United States, Israel, potentially Egypt. We've heard the

934
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,920
Speaker 1: speech of General else Cec, the Saudis, which are clearly

935
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:08,440
Speaker 1: afraid of the nuclear armed Duran, the Jordanians could all

936
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,800
Speaker 1: join together to stop Iranian hegemony in the region, and finally,

937
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: terrorists will be on the run as they have a

938
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:17,120
Speaker 1: joint goal of peace for the first time, with even

939
00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: a Palestinian solution in the process. Now, there's no better

940
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: person to ever if you have ever go to Israel,

941
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: and I suggest you go, There's no better person ever

942
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 1: give you a tour of Jerusalem than Ambassador Doory Gold.

943
00:57:29,600 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: And I had the honor and privilege and pleasure of

944
00:57:31,800 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 1: of getting such a tour from him. His knowledge is

945
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:38,640
Speaker 1: encyclopedic and his friendship has been one that we've had

946
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: and shared over the years. He's the former UN Ambassador,

947
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: he's current currently the Israeli Foreign Ministry Director. Sir, how

948
00:57:44,640 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 1: are you, Sean, I'm good to talk to you. This

949
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:51,000
Speaker 1: is the most optimistic I have ever felt about potential

950
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,280
Speaker 1: peace in the Middle East and peace for Israel, And

951
00:57:54,320 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 1: it's also the strongest I believe the the alliances between

952
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:00,720
Speaker 1: our two countries that I've ever seen in all the

953
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: years that I'm alive. Well, I think what's significant about

954
00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: the meeting between prime ministers and now and President Trump

955
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 1: is this understanding that we need a different peace strategy.

956
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: For years, we've been lectured to make peace with the

957
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,720
Speaker 1: Palestinians and the Arab states will line up. It was

958
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: proven not to be true. But now we have a

959
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:23,720
Speaker 1: chance of working with Arab states who CS as allies.

960
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: As prime ministers that is, that build a network of

961
00:58:27,360 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: peace with them, and the Palestinian issue will be resolved

962
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 1: at the end. But we because we are both threatened

963
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: by Iran in the case of Egypt, we're both threatened

964
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: by the Islamic State, by isis UH. This is drawing

965
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:43,800
Speaker 1: us together. It's just like NATO. NATO was formed in

966
00:58:43,880 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 1: nineteen forty nine when you had a number of countries

967
00:58:47,280 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 1: used to be a war with each other, France and Germany,

968
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:53,160
Speaker 1: but they boast both faced the mutual threat of Soviet

969
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,640
Speaker 1: tank divisions in Central Europe, and they drew together under

970
00:58:56,680 --> 00:59:01,080
Speaker 1: American leadership and they transformed the whole situation there. That's

971
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,120
Speaker 1: what we can do in the Middle East. Okay, am

972
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:07,000
Speaker 1: I wrong in my belief system? Now again, nobody's saying it,

973
00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,360
Speaker 1: but I did think that those remarks by the Prime

974
00:59:10,400 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 1: Minister and the remarks by the President. The President said, bigger,

975
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 1: better deal. The Prime Minister said, for the first time

976
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 1: in my life my country, Arab countries in the region

977
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 1: do not see Israel as an enemy, but increasingly as

978
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:25,720
Speaker 1: an ally. We heard the speech of General Alcisi. We

979
00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,040
Speaker 1: know the fear that the real, genuine, clear and present

980
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,720
Speaker 1: danger the saudiast know they face. We know that Jordanians face.

981
00:59:32,800 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: The same threat is there, and I know there's been

982
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,120
Speaker 1: an emerging alliance and shared intelligence over the years recent years,

983
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: and a growing friendship if you will, between all of

984
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 1: these countries. Am I wrong? Right? I won't get into

985
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:52,240
Speaker 1: intelligence cooperation, but I will say there's more demonstrated connections.

986
00:59:52,280 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: There's still a little bit of fear about being too overt.

987
00:59:55,680 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 1: I think what the President was saying when he said,

988
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 1: in a bigger and or peace arrangement, it's something like

989
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: these Arab staates bring them in if we have the

990
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,600
Speaker 1: same perception of the threat, if they see us as

991
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: an ally and not as an adversary, let's build on that.

992
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,560
Speaker 1: Those are low lang fruit for for diplomats to to

993
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 1: lock in a new piece. It's gonna take a lot

994
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of work. It may not be so simple, but they

995
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's right in front of us, and we

996
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:28,000
Speaker 1: should really try and work that and move that forward.

997
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:30,880
Speaker 1: What did you think of the comments about maybe just

998
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,919
Speaker 1: temporarily will stop settlements move the negotiations forward, and and

999
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: what did you think of those remarks? And what did

1000
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,920
Speaker 1: you think of the obvious de perspect and friendship that

1001
01:00:40,960 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: was on display today? Because I do not characterize the

1002
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 1: last eight years the same way. Well, settlements have never

1003
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: been the issue. You know, when I became Foreign Policy

1004
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: advised of the Prime Minister in one of the things

1005
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:55,360
Speaker 1: you get to do, you get to open the safe

1006
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,760
Speaker 1: and take out all the secret documents in the previous government.

1007
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: And I look at those documents and I discover that

1008
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: back in nineties three when they signed the original Ascil agreements,

1009
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 1: our if I was considering demanding a settlement freeze. In

1010
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:11,240
Speaker 1: the end, he didn't and his people sign the Oslo

1011
01:01:11,240 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 1: agreements without a settlement freeze because it wasn't the main issue.

1012
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:18,160
Speaker 1: Settlements will be dealt with as another negotiating issue, just

1013
01:01:18,240 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: like the other five issues for permanent status. So it's

1014
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,640
Speaker 1: it's not necessary to trump that up, excuse the pun

1015
01:01:25,360 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: and to make a big deal about it. And that's

1016
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 1: I think the attitude of the Prime Minister, and frankly,

1017
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:33,960
Speaker 1: I think the President probably isn't that far from that. Uh,

1018
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 1: he just doesn't want that issue to get in the way.

1019
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:40,920
Speaker 1: We have a responsibility to the Israelis living in the

1020
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: West Bank in Judean Samaria to address their needs, just

1021
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: as the Palestinian authority has a responsibility to address the

1022
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: needs of Palestinians living in Palestinian towns and villages. Hang on,

1023
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 1: if I may interrupt you just one second, Ambassador, stay

1024
01:01:57,280 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 1: right there. We'll continue more with Dori gold Final hour

1025
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 1: roundup as an act. You do not want to miss it,

1026
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,760
Speaker 1: and stay tuned for the final hour free for All

1027
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 1: on the Sean Hannity Show. I can continue now with

1028
01:02:47,680 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: the current Israeli Foreign Ministry Director and former you An ambassador,

1029
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,080
Speaker 1: Ambassador Tory Golden's back with us, sir. So we have

1030
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 1: this historic meeting that goes on today. Where do we

1031
01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: go from here? Well, I am eagin. After a summit meeting,

1032
01:03:01,680 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: usually the two sides break down into some kind of

1033
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 1: working groups that talk about Okay, what what are our

1034
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: next steps? But if I made for a minute, just

1035
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: get to the subject of Iran, which both gentlemen stressed

1036
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: very strongly. You know, people aren't always aware of this,

1037
01:03:20,760 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 1: but the famous Iran Deal, the j C p o

1038
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:31,480
Speaker 1: A never dealt with directly the issue of missiles. That

1039
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: was dealt with by U N. Security Council resolution. And

1040
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,479
Speaker 1: as a result, the Iranians feel free for the next

1041
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: decade to build as big of a missile force as

1042
01:03:40,520 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 1: they want, and they assume that the end of that

1043
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: decade they will be free of their nuclear restrictions, and

1044
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 1: then they can build the warheads to put on top

1045
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 1: of those missiles. In other words, in ten years twelve years,

1046
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: you're gonna have a new little Soviet Union, not run

1047
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: by Communists, run by Ayatolla's that is extremely dangerous, not

1048
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: just to Israel but to the world. But you know,

1049
01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 1: but you know something, Ambassador, one of the over the

1050
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:10,240
Speaker 1: last day years, I have said many times in this

1051
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: program and on my television program that we've had really

1052
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: one adult on the world stage that had the moral

1053
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: clarity to understand radical Islamic terror. Now you have a

1054
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:24,160
Speaker 1: friend and a partner we have now strengthened at a

1055
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: to to a to an unprecedented degree. UH. An alliance

1056
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:33,480
Speaker 1: that of shared values and an understanding of evil in

1057
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: our time. Isn't that Isn't this a moment where great

1058
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: things can happen. I agree with you, and I think

1059
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,840
Speaker 1: we have a shot at bringing in the British as well.

1060
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:44,680
Speaker 1: I agree to So you had a big three back

1061
01:04:44,760 --> 01:04:48,160
Speaker 1: in UH World War two. Of course one of those

1062
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,120
Speaker 1: was the Rasuvie Union. But now we have a chance

1063
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:55,680
Speaker 1: of having three countries that will be democracies, that are

1064
01:04:55,760 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: democracies that will see the dangers in a similar way

1065
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 1: and will coordinate on how to make the world more

1066
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:08,320
Speaker 1: peaceful and how to neutralize the threat of radical Islam.

1067
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 1: And of course I ran you know, and that is

1068
01:05:11,880 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: our hope in prayer. The one thing that we cannot

1069
01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 1: have a squared B squared equals C squared. We cannot

1070
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: have radical Islamic terrorists, the number one state sponsor of terror,

1071
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,240
Speaker 1: coupled with the weapons of mass destruction, or it will

1072
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: result in a modern day holocaust. It must be prevented

1073
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: at all costs. And I do believe with this new

1074
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 1: alliance and there's new partnership that great things can happen,

1075
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: and even people that used to be enemies will join

1076
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: in this alliance, and that is a very very good

1077
01:05:41,600 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 1: moment for the world to see. Well, I agree with you.

1078
01:05:44,960 --> 01:05:46,680
Speaker 1: I can just tell you what I as a private

1079
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 1: citizen and I left the Foreign Ministry not long ago,

1080
01:05:50,200 --> 01:05:55,520
Speaker 1: but as a private citizen back in twenty UH I

1081
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 1: came to Washington with a Saudi major general and the

1082
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 1: two of us stood in the Council and Formal Relations

1083
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: and we attacked criticized the Iran agreement Saudi. That was

1084
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: impossible before. That's such a good point. I'm up on

1085
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 1: a on a hard break. Care Ambassador, your dear friend.

1086
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm very happy about what happened today, and I think

1087
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 1: that this is a great moment of world history. And

1088
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 1: just building upon this and following through uh, I expect

1089
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:27,080
Speaker 1: great things to happen. Sir, Thank you for being with us.

1090
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,040
Speaker 1: Appreciate it. One Shawn toll free telephone number. You want

1091
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Our news round up,

1092
01:06:33,640 --> 01:07:12,080
Speaker 1: Information overload is next. This is all We're going to

1093
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 1: do whatever is necessary to keep our country safe. We

1094
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 1: will not allow people into our country who are looking

1095
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: to do harm to a people. This is keeping American

1096
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: people safe and that has a market. This is about

1097
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 1: a band on Muslims that is unconstitutional and immoral. This

1098
01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:31,960
Speaker 1: executive order is so bad and so poisoned, and it's

1099
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: genesis is so bad and terrible that he ought to

1100
01:07:36,520 --> 01:07:39,840
Speaker 1: just throw it in the trash can. Freedom is bad

1101
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 1: in style. Welcome to the revolution. Were married them? Baby?

1102
01:07:47,840 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: This is New Sean Nnedy Show. I'm the Sis. Information

1103
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 1: on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.

1104
01:08:05,880 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: Stay right here for our final news round up and

1105
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:13,080
Speaker 1: information overload in the final hour of The Shawn Hannity Show.

1106
01:08:13,280 --> 01:08:15,760
Speaker 1: During these first one days, what has surprised you the

1107
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 1: most about this office? Enchanted you the most without serving

1108
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: in this office, humbled you the most, and troubled you

1109
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:28,760
Speaker 1: the most. Let me write this now. Surprised, troubled, I've

1110
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 1: got what was the person? Surprise, Surprise, troubled, troubled, enchanted, enchanted,

1111
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:40,240
Speaker 1: humble Publican party that I worked for for two decades

1112
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: died in this room tonight. We are now represented as

1113
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 1: a party by a man who believes in protectionism, isolationism,

1114
01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 1: and nativism. The feeling most people get when they hear

1115
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: a Barack Obama space. My I felt this thrill going

1116
01:08:52,800 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 1: up my leg. Was just a relentlessly dark speech. He

1117
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:59,519
Speaker 1: was describing some mad max America I have read in

1118
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: history being in moments where some big authoritarian movement as

1119
01:09:03,920 --> 01:09:06,880
Speaker 1: some leader that's rising up, And I felt that way

1120
01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:10,600
Speaker 1: to night. America will forever be indebted to him for

1121
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 1: the character that he showed, and for the class that

1122
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:19,680
Speaker 1: he showed, and the dignity that he showed beyond reproach.

1123
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 1: That song of hope that brought him to the White House,

1124
01:09:23,360 --> 01:09:27,800
Speaker 1: part campaign speech, part State of the Union, sermon on democracy,

1125
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,920
Speaker 1: a song of gratitude, and you come back that old

1126
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: thing of bashing Washington, d C. The old Marry and

1127
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 1: Marry days, bashing Baltimore in Chicago's those city names. He

1128
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:44,240
Speaker 1: in Folk Minority twelve years to the day he burst

1129
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,439
Speaker 1: on the national scene. Two term President Barack o'barna gives

1130
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:54,200
Speaker 1: his political valedictory grateful emotional at the end, thanking the

1131
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,839
Speaker 1: American deep, picking him up when he was down, passing

1132
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 1: to the time, as he said, reclining behavior throughout his

1133
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:04,760
Speaker 1: first press conference as president act raises serious questions and

1134
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: implications for American democracy and questions about how our institutions

1135
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 1: will deal with him. So far as Trump, he's trying

1136
01:10:11,080 --> 01:10:14,680
Speaker 1: to equate fake news with good journalism. That might have

1137
01:10:15,479 --> 01:10:19,040
Speaker 1: made a mistake. He's trying to create a post truth environment.

1138
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: The environment right now is so far from normal. We're

1139
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,400
Speaker 1: so far from the norms of respect when it comes

1140
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 1: to the president of the President of act talking at

1141
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 1: least saying the right things about respecting the First Amendment.

1142
01:10:30,160 --> 01:10:34,640
Speaker 1: Nobody can talk about America like Barack Obama, aside from

1143
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,559
Speaker 1: maybe Ronald Reagan, not going to be hearing a speech

1144
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 1: like this from a sitting president for the next glory

1145
01:10:42,240 --> 01:10:46,599
Speaker 1: to be honest treason screetings. General Flynn wasn't acting alone,

1146
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 1: he wasn't going rogue. He was doing what his boss

1147
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 1: ordered him to do. And that's the Fly investigation. It's

1148
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:55,639
Speaker 1: going to turn into Flynn peachments sooner rather than later.

1149
01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:59,400
Speaker 1: I have led in talking about impeachment and some people say, well,

1150
01:10:59,439 --> 01:11:01,599
Speaker 1: it's to row it for that. It's never too early.

1151
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:05,639
Speaker 1: If you understand how dangerous this man really is. He'll

1152
01:11:05,680 --> 01:11:09,040
Speaker 1: go down in history as both a consequential and excellent

1153
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 1: um president viewed from the very beginning of the country

1154
01:11:12,560 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: until now. I think that his his economic record alone

1155
01:11:15,439 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: in terms of saving US from the Great Depression, if

1156
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 1: that's the only thing you knew about him, even if

1157
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 1: he hadn't been the first African American president doing it,

1158
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 1: that alone will put him um in the in the

1159
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: top ten presidents in US history. They might try to

1160
01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:29,880
Speaker 1: wipe all this in this communications, but clean what those

1161
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 1: communications exist, They exist and they will come out. And

1162
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:36,800
Speaker 1: once they come out, I guarantee you Republicans are not

1163
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: going to stand by when impeachment is put on the table.

1164
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,960
Speaker 1: Question is whether this will be the new norm. I

1165
01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,679
Speaker 1: think this has the potential to have a chilling effect. Yes,

1166
01:11:46,400 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the

1167
01:11:49,960 --> 01:11:52,880
Speaker 1: White House. You forgot to actually jutt at the end

1168
01:11:52,920 --> 01:11:54,880
Speaker 1: of that, But I get the point anyway, What a

1169
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:59,000
Speaker 1: what a comparison of the first hundred days? What is

1170
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 1: enchanted you, Resident Obama? Sir oh no oh anointed one,

1171
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: oh great one? Yes, Mr Hope in change, the tide

1172
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:09,719
Speaker 1: shall shift, didn't alter, and the winds will stop blowing

1173
01:12:09,800 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: when we want them to stop. And then, of course,

1174
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,600
Speaker 1: the worst record of any president in modern history, and

1175
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: the treatment versus Donald Trump, he didn't get a single

1176
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: day honeymoon, not one news round up information overload will

1177
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: get to your calls coming up here eight nine for one,

1178
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. Rick Hunger, senior political contributor Forbes

01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 1: Jeff Lord, former associate political director in the Reagan administration, columnist,

Speaker 1: author of the best selling book What America Needs, The

1182
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,599
Speaker 1: Case for Trump and Welcome. All of your two top

1183
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:46,920
Speaker 1: stories remain today. Obviously, the leaking of private intelligence once

1184
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,760
Speaker 1: again against the Trump administration, a clear violation of the

1185
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:53,799
Speaker 1: Espionage Act. Will the president get or will the Attorney

1186
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:57,680
Speaker 1: General and panel a a some type of group to

1187
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 1: get in there and start asking questions, a grand jury

1188
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: perhaps to look into the crimes that have been committed

1189
01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 1: and could talk about why are fraud, mail fraud, um

1190
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: intelligence fraud in some way cover up Espionage Act? A

1191
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: lot of laws in play, and I know that's not

1192
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: your main concern, Mr Unger, Well it it isn't part Hey, Jeff,

1193
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 1: good to talk to you, man, it is in part.

1194
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look, this doesn't have to go down a

1195
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,439
Speaker 1: single track. If there's been illegal leaking, I don't blame

1196
01:13:24,479 --> 01:13:27,320
Speaker 1: you for being concerned. At the same time, I think

1197
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,080
Speaker 1: we have to also pay attention to the information that

1198
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 1: we got that was leak. I do want to say

1199
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: that that you're both being very consistent, you and Jeff

1200
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:37,679
Speaker 1: and complaining about this because I know you were deeply

1201
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:41,600
Speaker 1: concerned about the illegal rating of somebody's personal computer and

1202
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: the d n C when it was Hillary Clinton who

1203
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:48,760
Speaker 1: was illegally rated and leaked illegally. Who who is who

1204
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 1: would break into somebody's computer in the intelligence community? Do

1205
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,559
Speaker 1: we know it was the Russian intelligence? Maybe? Well, can

1206
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,360
Speaker 1: you prove that, because you'd be the first person that

1207
01:13:57,439 --> 01:13:59,919
Speaker 1: could prove that. It's a nice theory, it's a nice hypotha.

1208
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: I think everybody pretty much agrees. I don't know. I

1209
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,600
Speaker 1: don't think everybody agrees in anything. You can talk to

1210
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: the intelligence communities here who seemed to believe that. Okay,

1211
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: but there's been you know, a lot of different reports

1212
01:14:10,160 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 1: and no evidence presented. So until you get evidence, are

1213
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:14,920
Speaker 1: you sound like the New York Times today saying, well,

1214
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: big headline about Donald Trump. But then in in the

1215
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: context and the text that they write, well, we have

1216
01:14:19,960 --> 01:14:22,640
Speaker 1: no evidence of such cooperation. They did? They did, They

1217
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: wrote a whole front page story, which was a pretty

1218
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,479
Speaker 1: interesting story, and they later added those two parents. Yeah,

1219
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: those two little caveats and they stuck in there. It

1220
01:14:30,600 --> 01:14:33,720
Speaker 1: does confirm that there were a lot of communications, but

1221
01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: it's very different. But it doesn't say they did anything wrong.

1222
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:40,400
Speaker 1: But it's very different, Jeff, when you have Hillary that

1223
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: recklessly put her server her to avoid congressional oversight in

1224
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,560
Speaker 1: a mom and pop shop bathroom closet and broke the

1225
01:14:47,680 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: law and somebody hacked into it, we don't know who,

1226
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,880
Speaker 1: versus the intelligence community, and clear violation of the Espionage Act,

1227
01:14:55,040 --> 01:14:59,920
Speaker 1: purposefully for political reasons, leaking information to hurt the Trump administration.

1228
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Political that's right, that's right. This is what this is

1229
01:15:02,800 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: what President Reagan used to call quote unquote bureaucratic sabotage.

1230
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:09,759
Speaker 1: And he had an example that had him all fired

1231
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 1: up his first night. He had six national security advisors

1232
01:15:12,840 --> 01:15:15,280
Speaker 1: across his two terms, and the first and the fifth

1233
01:15:15,479 --> 01:15:18,719
Speaker 1: we're both fired of the fifth because of Iran contract.

1234
01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,000
Speaker 1: But the first one, it was a screw up here

1235
01:15:21,040 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 1: where Mrs Reagan had given an interview to a Japanese

1236
01:15:23,439 --> 01:15:26,799
Speaker 1: magazine when the president came into office, the magazine insisted

1237
01:15:26,840 --> 01:15:30,480
Speaker 1: on paying a thousand bucks. So Richard Allen, the security advisor,

1238
01:15:30,600 --> 01:15:34,680
Speaker 1: to save her embarrassment and not embarrass the Japanese, took

1239
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 1: the money, put it in his safe forgot about it,

1240
01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 1: and then when he went to switch offices later the

1241
01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: safe was open, they find the money. This kicks off

1242
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:46,160
Speaker 1: an FBI investigation, the Justice Department, all of this on

1243
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,760
Speaker 1: the QT and somebody from the Justice Department leaks this.

1244
01:15:50,160 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 1: He was cleared, totally cleared, but the media firestorm did

1245
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:56,320
Speaker 1: him in and and he wanted to stay in. President

1246
01:15:56,360 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 1: Reagan felt at that point it just wasn't doable. But

1247
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 1: President what hasn't got so upset about was that he

1248
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:05,439
Speaker 1: knew that this was not about Richard Allen. This was

1249
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:09,040
Speaker 1: about him. This was about people, bureaucrats and the Department

1250
01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: of Justice who didn't like Ronald Reagan and wanted to

1251
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: attack him personally and attack the administration and embarrass him

1252
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:18,360
Speaker 1: by doing this is exactly the kind of thing that's

1253
01:16:18,360 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 1: going on, except now it's worse. Well, but how this

1254
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: is didn't sabotage with by intelligence agency, you know, it

1255
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,559
Speaker 1: just the sitting president of the United States. Jeff Sean

1256
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: makes a point when he says that nobody has come

1257
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,400
Speaker 1: up with the proof and the evidence about who was

1258
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: behind these raids on on Hillary Clinton. Okay, isn't it

1259
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,280
Speaker 1: the same situation here? You know, you're you're not giving

1260
01:16:38,400 --> 01:16:41,360
Speaker 1: equal time to what the data is that we're being

1261
01:16:41,439 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: told now. I do not know yet if this data

1262
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:46,720
Speaker 1: amounts to anything. I don't know if the findings of

1263
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:50,559
Speaker 1: the intelligence uh folks that we're hearing about every day

1264
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: now amount to a hill of beans. We'll see as

1265
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:56,520
Speaker 1: time goes by. But it just seems kind of imbalanced

1266
01:16:56,600 --> 01:17:00,720
Speaker 1: that all this focus on on intelligence bad behavior, but

1267
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: no focus on or interest in whether or not anybody

1268
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,360
Speaker 1: was behaving pretty badly in the Trump campaign. Wait, the

1269
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:11,439
Speaker 1: only law that would be in play as it relates

1270
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 1: to the national security advice. Well, but that's what the

1271
01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 1: point is. I mean, he's an incoming national security advisor

1272
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,080
Speaker 1: who had conversations with his counterparts. He's taking over the job,

1273
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,479
Speaker 1: he's reaching out in the campaign. Well okay, but then

1274
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Obama Okay, then let me tell you before the election,

1275
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: Obama's Russian ambassador went to Russia and spoke to them.

1276
01:17:31,240 --> 01:17:33,519
Speaker 1: Why we aren't you concerned about that? Actual? Only the

1277
01:17:33,600 --> 01:17:37,200
Speaker 1: only point is, you know, the fact that there's conversations

1278
01:17:37,240 --> 01:17:40,639
Speaker 1: that go on with people, especially related to the important

1279
01:17:40,680 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: issue of sanctions, which came later. As I understand, the

1280
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,040
Speaker 1: actual contact came after the election. As it relates to

1281
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 1: jenneral Flint with the reporting. Now that's the General Flynn.

1282
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: The one that got General Flynn in trouble was after

1283
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,959
Speaker 1: the election. So my point is, but that is exactly

1284
01:17:55,040 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 1: what his job is here the Logan Act. You know,

1285
01:17:58,200 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: if but he can't, he can, if he can, if

1286
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 1: he commute. Wait a minute, but the Logan Acts never

1287
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: been used. It on the books in Okay. So the

1288
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: point is that if if he's having a conversation, I'll

1289
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 1: throw this at Jeff with his Russian counterpart. In the

1290
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,720
Speaker 1: lead up and let's say the president and you know,

1291
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: during the intern between being elected and becoming president, has

1292
01:18:17,680 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 1: conversations with his incoming national security advisor about what we're

1293
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 1: not going to let this stand. Make sure you know

1294
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,280
Speaker 1: that there's a new sheriff coming into town. There's nothing

1295
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,280
Speaker 1: illegal about that. As a matter of fact, it probably

1296
01:18:29,400 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: helped calm the waters of tensions. Actually, you could make

1297
01:18:33,400 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 1: an argument it was under the Logan Act. No one's

1298
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,960
Speaker 1: going to pursue it, but you could make it. But

1299
01:18:38,080 --> 01:18:40,360
Speaker 1: if you know Sean, you you pointed out that Barack

1300
01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: Obama sent somebody over there to Russia. Let's let's not

1301
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 1: forget he did something very public that required cooperation from

1302
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: a foreign government. When he was the Democratic nominee, he

1303
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 1: went over to Berlin and gave this massive speech in

1304
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:54,880
Speaker 1: the middle of Berlin. Well, I assure you, as a

1305
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 1: city United States senator and the Democratic presidential nominee, he

1306
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: had to have had interactions with German government officials of

1307
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: the day. Nobody said, what's he doing talking to the Germans?

1308
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,360
Speaker 1: Nobody said, let's invote. There was no there was no

1309
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,720
Speaker 1: evidence or investigation going on suggesting that the Germans were

1310
01:19:10,720 --> 01:19:14,679
Speaker 1: attempting to play in our election. Big difference, and Jeff,

1311
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 1: I got I'm gonna ask you this, Jeff, let me

1312
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: ask you a question in our election by letting him

1313
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: come there and give them in the middle of That's.

1314
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: That's a pretty thin defense to the argument let me

1315
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,760
Speaker 1: ask you this. It's it's it's the easiest way I

1316
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: know to ask. And I want to ask Sean because

1317
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: he hates when I asked him questions on his show.

1318
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: If it were in your show for crime. It invites you.

1319
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:36,720
Speaker 1: You never said, Hannity, come on, we did so? Did

1320
01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 1: he ever did? Yeah? Yeah, see nobody runs again. I'm

1321
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,760
Speaker 1: right Handedy's wrong, Jeff. My question if you quick question

1322
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:48,679
Speaker 1: all the thought, all right, credit to reveal and replace

1323
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 1: Obama's executive orders, and you've come to the right place

1324
01:19:54,680 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: the Sean Show. All right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show,

1325
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,439
Speaker 1: Shawn your calls at the bottom of this half hour

1326
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: or other. Top story today, of course, is the historic

1327
01:20:29,720 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: press conference between the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin that

1328
01:20:32,640 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 1: Yahoo and the President, President Trump at the White House

1329
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 1: from earlier today. And I think two things really stand

1330
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:42,000
Speaker 1: out in my mind Donald Trump, the President saying, well,

1331
01:20:42,040 --> 01:20:45,120
Speaker 1: we could get a bigger, better deal, maybe one state,

1332
01:20:45,200 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 1: maybe to state, maybe bigger better, and then the Prime

1333
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,520
Speaker 1: Minister saying, we can see is on this historic opportunity

1334
01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,040
Speaker 1: for the first time in my lifetime and the first

1335
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,760
Speaker 1: time in the life of my country. Arab countries in

1336
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,320
Speaker 1: the region do not see Israel as an enemy, but

1337
01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: increasingly as an ally. And I believe under your leadership,

1338
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 1: the change in our region creates an unprecedented opportunity to

1339
01:21:05,520 --> 01:21:08,519
Speaker 1: strengthen security and advanced peace. To me, this is how

1340
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: I read that. That every other country in the region,

1341
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:15,600
Speaker 1: meaning the Saudis, the Egyptians, the Jordanians, are working and

1342
01:21:15,720 --> 01:21:18,960
Speaker 1: willing to work now with Israel and an unprecedented alliance

1343
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 1: to stop Iranian hegemony in the region. I think what

1344
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: he said was true. I think that is the case.

1345
01:21:24,600 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 1: There is one stumbling block, and and I from what

1346
01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:29,600
Speaker 1: I've heard, I haven't had a chance to digest the

1347
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:33,960
Speaker 1: meanings today. Uh, President Trump is not as supportive as

1348
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:36,760
Speaker 1: he once was of a two state solution with Palastine. Oh.

1349
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,800
Speaker 1: He said he's open to a bigger, better deal. That's

1350
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,760
Speaker 1: part of he said, one state, two states or and

1351
01:21:42,840 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: then he went on to talk about a bigger better deal.

1352
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: To me, what my sources over the years have been

1353
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: telling me, you know how important Israel is today is

1354
01:21:49,880 --> 01:21:52,960
Speaker 1: that there has been this growing friendship emerging with these

1355
01:21:53,080 --> 01:21:55,960
Speaker 1: nations and neighbor It's true, it is true. It's look

1356
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,919
Speaker 1: at the speech Jeff of you know General Alcisi, for example,

1357
01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:01,120
Speaker 1: when he took on Ratko islamas and we know the

1358
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,720
Speaker 1: Saudis are scared to death of the Iranians given a

1359
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 1: nuclear weapon. Well, that's right, that's right. And as as

1360
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: I recall, it was Israel who was helping to defend

1361
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia a bit from incoming missiles back in the

1362
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 1: Persian Gulf War. I mean, there's been a lot of time,

1363
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:18,760
Speaker 1: a lot of water under the bridge here. And you know,

1364
01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:22,240
Speaker 1: these Islamic radicals, I mean, they want to kill Israel dead,

1365
01:22:22,280 --> 01:22:24,400
Speaker 1: but let's not forget they just as soon do in

1366
01:22:24,520 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 1: general uh cs in Egypt, they would just as soon

1367
01:22:27,479 --> 01:22:30,320
Speaker 1: do in the royal family in Saudi Arabia. Um, there

1368
01:22:30,360 --> 01:22:32,559
Speaker 1: are a lot of folks in these Middle Eastern countries

1369
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: who are running these countries that they don't like. Well,

1370
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:37,400
Speaker 1: I think that. But so in that sense, there is

1371
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: an opportunity here too. It could be I think, actually

1372
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:43,719
Speaker 1: I agree with met and Yahoo. I think the president

1373
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 1: does very possibly have a unique opportunity. I do know,

1374
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 1: um that it will require, certainly on behalf of at

1375
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,680
Speaker 1: least half those countries, that there be a solution for Palestine,

1376
01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: and it would likely be a state that could be

1377
01:22:56,680 --> 01:23:00,280
Speaker 1: critical to this if that's happening. I completely agree with

1378
01:23:00,360 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: what you just reported, Sean, you know, you know, and

1379
01:23:02,800 --> 01:23:04,720
Speaker 1: that would be great for the world because for the

1380
01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 1: first time, especially after the last eight years of hostility

1381
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: by Obama towards Israel, but the first time, Jeff, I

1382
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: see that friendship, that natural alliance getting stronger than it's

1383
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 1: ever been, which is very bad news, especially based on

1384
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,640
Speaker 1: we put a ran on notice, sanctions have been put

1385
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 1: in place, the USS coal was sent off the coast

1386
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:27,800
Speaker 1: of Yemen. So you know, one of the things that

1387
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:29,560
Speaker 1: I think is going to be very important here is

1388
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,000
Speaker 1: one of the people is Jared Kushner, who uh is

1389
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:38,080
Speaker 1: Jewish himself, has a lot of credibility in this area

1390
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:41,800
Speaker 1: and has certainly the confidence of his father in law

1391
01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 1: of the President. And I think that the President has

1392
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,000
Speaker 1: indicated he wants Jared to play a role in this.

1393
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:48,320
Speaker 1: I think he's perfect to do so. I don't I

1394
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: don't know Jared has the credibility yet, but I'll tell

1395
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: you what, I'm glad that he's there. I see. It

1396
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: was one of the rational people that's that's in the

1397
01:23:56,200 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: White House, and Obama was so rash all over the

1398
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: given the Iranians on fifty billion dollars and giving ransom payments. Okay,

1399
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:08,120
Speaker 1: it was I don't know if you got the memory.

1400
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,759
Speaker 1: He's not president Okay, you guys are still talking about Reagan,

1401
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:12,840
Speaker 1: so I could talk about about for the twenty five

1402

Speaker 1: more years. Thank you very much, alright, eight nine one,

01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 1: I'm I'm getting ahead of myself. Melody is in San Diego, California.

1417
01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,320
Speaker 1: News Radio six hundred Cogo Radio. What's going on? How

1418
01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:40,160
Speaker 1: are you? Melody? Hello? Sean? How are you? Thank you

1419
01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 1: for making us number one in San Diego. We really

1420
01:25:44,040 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: appreciate it, you deserve it. Well, you're very kind, thank you. Um. Well,

1421
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 1: basically I'm calling because I am just extremely set up

1422
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 1: with what I'm seeing. Um, the less tactics, I mean,

1423
01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,400
Speaker 1: these are like third world tactics. They did not win

1424
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 1: the election, and they will not stop their act, their

1425
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 1: proceeding at Hillary one with their policy and um, they

1426
01:26:05,280 --> 01:26:08,240
Speaker 1: just rejected the natural election. They're forcing the American people

1427
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:11,800
Speaker 1: to continue under Obama's policies and or they'll burn the

1428
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: nation down. And I just think that, Um, you know,

1429
01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: President um Trump won the election. I'm not trying to

1430
01:26:18,080 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: tell him how to run his his the office of

1431
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 1: the presidency, but he had he does have laws to

1432
01:26:23,400 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 1: protect him from the type of behavior. I mean he has.

1433
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:30,280
Speaker 1: He has the United States Code eighteen, section eighty four

1434
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: and eighty five that makes it illegal to take over

1435
01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 1: the nation by um, by force, by intimidation, by all

1436
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,439
Speaker 1: types of things. And the media needs to be thrown

1437
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:44,120
Speaker 1: out of the White House. They have freedom of the press,

1438
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: but doesn't mean they get to bully the president. The

1439
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 1: freedom of the press allowed them to be able to

1440
01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: speak truthfully and not to be in fear if somebody's

1441
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,200
Speaker 1: gonna kill them. It does not allow them to have

1442
01:26:54,360 --> 01:26:57,519
Speaker 1: the rights that they're exercising. And I think that Trump

1443
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:01,240
Speaker 1: needs to be able to um to um focus on

1444
01:27:01,360 --> 01:27:03,599
Speaker 1: running this country. He's doing an awesome job. I mean,

1445
01:27:03,680 --> 01:27:07,439
Speaker 1: he's he has the capability of being many people's favorite

1446
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,439
Speaker 1: president of all times. He needs to concentrate on moving

1447
01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:13,640
Speaker 1: this nation forward, not playing with the media and and

1448
01:27:13,800 --> 01:27:16,240
Speaker 1: playing with their distractive tactics. So he needs to get

1449
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 1: a see a legal team, a strong legal team to

1450
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 1: handle the media, to handle them the judicial system. Congress

1451
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,519
Speaker 1: can shut down the judicial system. They have authority over

1452
01:27:27,600 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 1: the court. They need to use their their god given

1453
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: laws to control this country or we're not going to

1454
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:35,800
Speaker 1: have one. Well, let's just go to the law. You

1455
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: mentioned one. I've got another one eighteen US Code UH seven,

1456
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: and it is this talks specifically about signett which are

1457
01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 1: signal intelligence meaning phone intercepts for example, is one of

1458
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 1: the most serious felonies out there, and anybody can be

1459
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 1: prosecuted on the federal law for disclosing this classified information.

1460
01:27:56,760 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: Uh and reflecting how serious this is, they're supposed to

1461
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:04,240
Speaker 1: once an American is identified and they were again hacking

1462
01:28:04,320 --> 01:28:09,479
Speaker 1: into a phone conversation of a Russian ambassador, and it

1463
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 1: says the law whoever knowingly and willfully communicates or otherwise

1464
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: makes available to an unauthorized person or publishes any classified

1465
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:24,080
Speaker 1: information obtained by the processes of communication intelligence from the

1466
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 1: communications of any foreign government shall be fined under this

1467
01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,719
Speaker 1: title or in prison not more than ten years, or both.

1468
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: Now that Flynn might have lied about what was revealed

1469
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,679
Speaker 1: through intelligence gathering by the n s A or the CIA,

1470
01:28:39,880 --> 01:28:43,600
Speaker 1: or wherever it happened to be, you know, is irrelevant.

1471
01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,040
Speaker 1: They should have shut thee They should have shut the

1472
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: conversation down and or at least minimize it, as we

1473
01:28:48,960 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: discussed earlier. That is, that is what the law specifically states,

1474
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: in other words, minimizing the American intercept and only listening

1475
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:58,600
Speaker 1: to the Russian side of the conversation. And according to

1476
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 1: a senior government official, in following the Russian ambassador several

1477
01:29:02,120 --> 01:29:05,759
Speaker 1: times on the day the Obama administration announced the Russian

1478
01:29:05,800 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 1: officials you know that they were taking retaliation measures for

1479
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,799
Speaker 1: the hacking that Russia and Wiki leaks and Julian assans,

1480
01:29:12,840 --> 01:29:15,800
Speaker 1: for example, Old than I and the senior US government

1481
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,479
Speaker 1: official committed a serious felony by leaking this information. Now,

1482
01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 1: that is the true story. That is what the media

1483
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: will not tell you. That is the story that we

1484
01:29:24,920 --> 01:29:27,720
Speaker 1: are covering because that is the relevant one. And I

1485
01:29:27,880 --> 01:29:30,080
Speaker 1: think if the Attorney General is smart, he will take

1486
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:34,120
Speaker 1: it to an impaneled grand jury and and move from there.

1487
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: And I think that this is going to go exactly

1488
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,640
Speaker 1: the opposite way. The media, as corrupt as they are,

1489
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 1: the colluding media, is going with the story. And I'm

1490
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:45,519
Speaker 1: usually tend to tend to be right and they always

1491
01:29:45,560 --> 01:29:48,879
Speaker 1: tend to be wrong, So I trust myself more than them. Anyway.

1492
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Melody, God bless you appreciate it. Uh. Let

1493
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:55,719
Speaker 1: us say hi to u. Dory is in Savannah, Georgia. Dory,

1494
01:29:55,760 --> 01:29:58,640
Speaker 1: how are you glad you called? Welcome to the program. Ah,

1495
01:29:58,800 --> 01:30:02,720
Speaker 1: thank you, sir, Mr Handy. I am just grateful for

1496
01:30:02,840 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: all that you do every day and you well, I

1497
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,680
Speaker 1: appreciate it, and I think everybody else does as well.

1498
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:11,280
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, like your last caller, I was,

1499
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: I'm very distressed about this. I am a Trump supporter

1500
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:17,800
Speaker 1: all the way, and I think that what's going on.

1501
01:30:18,439 --> 01:30:20,479
Speaker 1: I mean, I I can look at this and I

1502
01:30:20,560 --> 01:30:22,640
Speaker 1: wanted to ask your opinion if you feel this is

1503
01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: an Obama shadow government thing that's happening. I went on

1504
01:30:27,880 --> 01:30:31,000
Speaker 1: Obama site, and of course he has this thing on

1505
01:30:31,160 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 1: there for o f A, and he is pushed obviously.

1506
01:30:35,439 --> 01:30:38,840
Speaker 1: I think he's the only president I know that has

1507
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: stayed in Washington after his term and he has been

1508
01:30:41,520 --> 01:30:46,559
Speaker 1: promoting this kind of disruption, which I thought was considered sedition.

1509
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: I've got to be I've got to be honest with you.

1510
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: I believe all of that and more. And I think

1511
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:55,960
Speaker 1: Paul Sperry did a really thorough investigation and a great

1512
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:57,719
Speaker 1: column on this, and we had him on the program

1513
01:30:57,840 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 1: yesterday to talk about it. And yes, the answer is

1514
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: I I believe that Obama's furious beyond words, and I

1515
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 1: predicted he would be because what he's watching is basically,

1516
01:31:10,240 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 1: within a hundred to two hundred days, it's gonna be

1517
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: as though he never existed eight years in the White House.

1518
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: But for him doubling the debt or accumulating more debt

1519
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:21,959
Speaker 1: than every other president before him combined, and whatever lifetime

1520
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 1: appointments he might have made to the judiciary or judicial

1521
01:31:26,439 --> 01:31:30,320
Speaker 1: branch of government, that's it does nothing. Everything else will

1522
01:31:30,360 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: be gone. He does a sweep because the other thing

1523
01:31:33,960 --> 01:31:37,320
Speaker 1: is that you know these people won't stop. It's obvious

1524
01:31:37,439 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: we we played by the rules. They don't. And I think,

1525
01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 1: if nothing else, Trump has to stay President Trump is

1526
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 1: to stay with his supporters. All he has with the people.

1527
01:31:46,720 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 1: But we want him desperately and will do anything, you know,

1528
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,639
Speaker 1: even if he relies on us, because he sure doesn't

1529
01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:56,240
Speaker 1: have the media or anybody else. Listen, you gotta you

1530
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,600
Speaker 1: gotta understand something I think at this point, and you

1531
01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: you know I will criticize Republicans when they're wrong. I've

1532
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,760
Speaker 1: been ripping on them because they're not moving fast enough.

1533
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:09,839
Speaker 1: All right, So I I if I see the President

1534
01:32:09,880 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: go off track, I will not be shy. I will

1535
01:32:12,160 --> 01:32:14,479
Speaker 1: not be quiet, and I will I will call it out.

1536
01:32:14,560 --> 01:32:17,440
Speaker 1: But so far, what I love is he's keeping his promises.

1537
01:32:17,479 --> 01:32:20,519
Speaker 1: Now if he in this year and it will take

1538
01:32:20,560 --> 01:32:25,759
Speaker 1: a year, can get his economic plan, Obamacare repealed and replaced,

1539
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 1: the vetting system fixed that he's trying so hard to

1540
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 1: do to keep us safe. The wall begins to be built,

1541
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 1: energy independence and the pipelines begin to flow, and we

1542
01:32:34,680 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 1: begin energy independence. If he can begin the process of

1543
01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:41,160
Speaker 1: strengthening our military, fixing the v A, building the wall,

1544
01:32:41,640 --> 01:32:44,640
Speaker 1: getting education sent back to the States. He will be

1545
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:49,960
Speaker 1: judged by his promises kept in the success of his plan,

1546
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 1: which is to me as conservative as any president we've

1547
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:58,480
Speaker 1: had since Reagan. And I it's really that historic and opportunity.

1548
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,479
Speaker 1: And the one thing the reason I think you're seeing

1549
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:06,680
Speaker 1: this frenetic pace of criticism and the Olynsky topic isolation,

1550
01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, attacks daily on one or or two or

1551
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 1: three of the people surrounding him, and the discrediting of him,

1552
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 1: and the constant calling him a liar and this and

1553
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,240
Speaker 1: that is because the one thing they fear the most

1554
01:33:19,320 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 1: on the left, I don't care if it's the establishment media,

1555
01:33:21,800 --> 01:33:27,320
Speaker 1: the establishment Democratic Party, even establishment weak liberal Republicans, they

1556
01:33:27,439 --> 01:33:31,800
Speaker 1: fear his success because success means failure for them. And

1557
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:33,640
Speaker 1: on top of everything else, they're all going to be

1558
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:39,640
Speaker 1: exposed as incompetent, lacking understanding, and they will be outshine

1559
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 1: by a political novice and outsider businessman. And that that

1560
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,639
Speaker 1: is nothing but fear, because you know, this is the swamp.

1561
01:33:47,720 --> 01:33:51,200
Speaker 1: They want people dependent. They don't they believe in this

1562
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:56,280
Speaker 1: globalist utopia where we almost give up our own nation's identity.

1563
01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:59,160
Speaker 1: And so for them, this is the biggest setback in

1564
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: their life, destroy srying him politically in any way they

1565
01:34:02,000 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: can is is what their goal really is here? Anyway,

1566
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,960
Speaker 1: I appreciate it one, Shawn, if you want to be

1567
01:34:08,000 --> 01:34:10,360
Speaker 1: a part of the program. James in California, James, how

1568
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: are you great? Sean? I was calling about the interview

1569
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:17,960
Speaker 1: you did with JORGEO Ramos the other night, and I

1570
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:21,720
Speaker 1: was watching the TV and screaming. I just couldn't believe that.

1571
01:34:21,960 --> 01:34:24,840
Speaker 1: How he just took everyone in your facts that you

1572
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:29,000
Speaker 1: cited and used a citation where you got it from

1573
01:34:29,120 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I don't believe that. That's wrong. And

1574
01:34:33,160 --> 01:34:36,439
Speaker 1: I was just absolutely livid with how he could believe

1575
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: that way. And I played, I played, I played for

1576
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 1: him everything. I did a long monologue leading up to

1577
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:46,280
Speaker 1: it so that he could understand these facts, but he

1578
01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:48,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to realize it. Well, the thing is is

1579
01:34:49,040 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 1: he's a host on a Spanish TV station, and my

1580
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: wife is Mexican. She absolutely loves him. And we watched

1581
01:34:57,640 --> 01:34:59,479
Speaker 1: that together and I'm like, oh, I can't believe this,

1582
01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:04,160
Speaker 1: and she was what, He's great everything, He's right. Well, listen,

1583
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,560
Speaker 1: don't listen, don't don't be like these other couples. That

1584
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,360
Speaker 1: we were talking about last Friday, that are divorcing because

1585
01:35:09,400 --> 01:35:12,160
Speaker 1: of the disagreements on who is the president. But you know,

1586
01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:14,880
Speaker 1: try and find common areas. Maybe maybe you go watch

1587
01:35:14,960 --> 01:35:17,479
Speaker 1: your own TV and she can watch her TV and

1588
01:35:17,560 --> 01:35:19,000
Speaker 1: you guys can meet in the middle of the night

1589
01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:21,800
Speaker 1: somewhere in the middle. But the thing is is on

1590
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,720
Speaker 1: his station, he doesn't have anybody like you to counter him.

1591
01:35:25,640 --> 01:35:28,760
Speaker 1: That's correct, not that I know of. Listen, I'll go

1592
01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:32,599
Speaker 1: on his TV show. He's never invited me. I go on, Yeah,

1593
01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 1: but they'd probably translated incorrectly for you. Now stop no

1594
01:35:38,600 --> 01:35:43,160
Speaker 1: they well stop it. I just say this, Um, I

1595
01:35:43,240 --> 01:35:45,679
Speaker 1: don't I like the idea of the wall and the door.

1596
01:35:46,560 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 1: I like the idea that we vet the people that

1597
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:50,960
Speaker 1: come to our country if they don't have a right

1598
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:53,439
Speaker 1: to come here. But we have a right to protect

1599
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 1: and a duty. As president, he has a right and

1600
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:58,840
Speaker 1: a duty to protect us. And this is the most

1601
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:02,640
Speaker 1: comprehensive atte to keep this nation safe and get us

1602
01:36:02,680 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 1: out from under the nine eleven mentality that we've had

1603
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:08,240
Speaker 1: the last eight years. Anyway, I appreciate it. Thank you

1604
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,560
Speaker 1: one Seawan. You want to be a part of the

1605
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:14,760
Speaker 1: program as we say hi to cam Is in Billings, Montana. Cam,

1606
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 1: how are you. I'm doing good, Sean. Thanks for having me.

1607
01:36:19,160 --> 01:36:22,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm calling because I am just upset over

1608
01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,840
Speaker 1: the lack of information that I see in the leaks,

1609
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:30,040
Speaker 1: regarding the stories that people are taking as truths or

1610
01:36:30,120 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: half truths and turning them into facts. And I look

1611
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:35,439
Speaker 1: at an example of say, Watergate, when it broke, it

1612
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:39,719
Speaker 1: leaves those reporters with Washington Post took their time, gathered facts,

1613
01:36:39,800 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 1: could back the information. A lot of the left is

1614
01:36:42,800 --> 01:36:47,680
Speaker 1: taking these leaks, stamping it approved and going to you know,

1615
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,559
Speaker 1: attempt to get Trump out of officers is the way

1616
01:36:49,600 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 1: that I see it. And I'm wondering at what point

1617
01:36:51,800 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 1: is Trump going to drop the hammer. I feel like

1618
01:36:54,400 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: this is aged me ten years to where I'm ready

1619
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:59,760
Speaker 1: to order shamani. Well, it'll get you ten years younger,

1620
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:02,599
Speaker 1: s otique and get genuine. So they worked the best,

1621
01:37:02,680 --> 01:37:07,080
Speaker 1: by the way, and listen, I can only tell you that, yeah,

1622
01:37:07,200 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: there's a betrayal. You know, you're you're kind of giving

1623
01:37:10,880 --> 01:37:13,280
Speaker 1: away my opening monologue on TV that I spent a

1624
01:37:13,320 --> 01:37:16,760
Speaker 1: lot of time writing today and it's called journalisms, debt journalism.

1625
01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:20,320
Speaker 1: Now I'm calling it. We have an informational crisis in America.

1626
01:37:20,640 --> 01:37:23,759
Speaker 1: That's what I'm call And you know it's kind of funny,

1627
01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:26,639
Speaker 1: and I don't want credit. But if anybody in the media,

1628
01:37:27,080 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: is there anybody that was more right about Obama than

1629
01:37:29,720 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: we were here on this program or vetted him. You

1630
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:36,599
Speaker 1: guys are amazing and I definitely looked to your opinion.

1631
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: I think journalism as a whole is dead. It's dead.

1632
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,640
Speaker 1: It's totally it's dead and buried. And you know what,

1633
01:37:41,800 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm not looking for credit. I just I just know

1634
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:48,599
Speaker 1: they're corrupt. I know that they're dishonest, they're lazy, they

1635
01:37:48,720 --> 01:37:52,599
Speaker 1: have an agenda. It's radical left, and that's where all

1636
01:37:52,680 --> 01:37:54,760
Speaker 1: of this is coming from. That's why I say journalism

1637
01:37:54,840 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 1: is dead and we have an informational crisis, and don't

1638
01:37:56,720 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 1: give examples and show you tape tonight that's gonna gonna

1639
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,599
Speaker 1: blow your mind and want And they were wrong about

1640
01:38:02,680 --> 01:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump too, and even some of my so called

1641
01:38:06,439 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 1: intellectual conservative brethren, they couldn't have been more wrong. And

1642
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: rather than admit that, rather than admit that they were

1643
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:14,920
Speaker 1: wrong and say, you know what, you know, I had

1644
01:38:14,960 --> 01:38:17,160
Speaker 1: doubts about him, but look at what he's doing with Gorsets.

1645
01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:19,880
Speaker 1: Look at the meeting, the joint press conference with net

1646
01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:22,280
Speaker 1: and Yahoo. Look at his promises, kept on vetting in

1647
01:38:22,320 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: the wall and and building up our military the key

1648
01:38:25,640 --> 01:38:28,719
Speaker 1: and I hope he continues with that, because your pride

1649
01:38:28,840 --> 01:38:32,200
Speaker 1: is hard enough. But seeing him stay the course is amazing.

1650
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:36,920
Speaker 1: Here's my here's my best description. Here's my I think

1651
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:39,760
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's best quality. You're ready. And I've been around

1652
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 1: on him. I've known him for two decades. You're ready.

1653
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:46,040
Speaker 1: What I think his best quality is, he's extraordinarily courageous.

1654
01:38:46,400 --> 01:38:49,360
Speaker 1: He's fearless, think because of all it takes that to

1655
01:38:49,520 --> 01:38:52,160
Speaker 1: be the leader of the free world, and additionally to

1656
01:38:52,240 --> 01:38:54,400
Speaker 1: implement what he's doing and to change what has been

1657
01:38:54,479 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 1: done over the last eight years in the face of

1658
01:38:56,960 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 1: everything that is happening, with the drive by media and

1659
01:38:59,439 --> 01:39:04,000
Speaker 1: false reef courts, at least information and I have every

1660
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:05,640
Speaker 1: belief he's going to get to the bottom of this.

1661
01:39:06,080 --> 01:39:09,160
Speaker 1: And the FBI probably is investigating now, and I expect

1662
01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 1: Senator Sessions, well now, Attorney General Sessions will be on

1663
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:16,280
Speaker 1: this very quickly. Anyway, Cam, good call, Thank you all

1664
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:18,679
Speaker 1: the best. Out in Montana. What a beautiful place. Montana

1665
01:39:18,800 --> 01:39:20,560
Speaker 1: is I'd love to live there one day. I know,

1666
01:39:20,720 --> 01:39:22,679
Speaker 1: I told you forever I want to. I want to ranch,

1667
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:24,640
Speaker 1: a baby ranch, not one of the big ranches. I

1668
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 1: have to stay working on it every second of every day.

1669
01:39:27,040 --> 01:39:28,400
Speaker 1: But I just I don't know. I just want to

1670
01:39:28,439 --> 01:39:31,439
Speaker 1: be alone for for like a month on my life,

1671
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: just one month, and maybe when I die, I'll just

1672
01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:37,960
