00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: stories today, there is movement on the issue of healthcare,

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you more about that in just a second.

30
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 1: The UH Senate, by the way, the GOP finally using

31
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: the constitutional option to press ahead on Neil Gorsu's Gorsuch

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: in his nomination for the Supreme Court. And if all

33
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 1: thirty hours of post cloture time is used, then the

34
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: vote would take place tomorrow evening, and the GOP simply

35
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: extended the precedent from the Supreme Court nominations. UH. There

36
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: is an expectation that the House is gonna leave today

37
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: UH without a GOP healthcare bill, but there is an

38
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 1: emerging possibility that they could be called back into session

39
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 1: next week, as there are rumors running rampant that they're

40
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: very close to getting a deal, and uh that it

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: is a drastically different, improved version of what the last

42
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: bill was. And I will update you when that when

43
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: that becomes available to us. And let me start with courses,

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get into the spy agency. We got

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: two big parts of the spy agency story that we're

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: gonna get to today, you know, as it relates to

47
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: leaking and as it relates to leaking intelligence surveillance, and

48
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: I'm asking and one is with Sarah Carter at the

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: top of the next hour she and John Solomon, who

50
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: have been the really leading the whole investigation here in

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: the rest of the media that's basically brain dead, lazy, overpaid,

52
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: and pretty ignorant and politicized. But this is now emerging

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: into a point where I can't see any other possibility

54
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: at all of any reason that this has taken place.

55
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: In other words, what Susan Rice acknowledge what she first

56
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: lied about two weeks ago, just like she lied about Benghazi,

57
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: that our intelligence community has been weaponized. Our intelligence community

58
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: has now been politicized now for this to happen, it

59
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: has to happen at the highest levels of government. The

60
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: high it would have to be the Susan Rice is

61
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: the Brennan's of the CIA, the Clappers National Director of Intelligence.

62
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: It has to be at that level. How Evelyn Farcas

63
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: ever got the information she had is beyond any understanding

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: that I have at this point. I'm sure that the

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: House Intel Committee and the Senate Intel Committee and others

66
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: will be looking into this. I have no doubt that

67
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: a grand jury at some point is going to be

68
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: convened here because we know that felonies have been committed.

69
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: Now it's just a matter of who, how many who,

70
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: and who knew what, when an where, and probably even

71
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: as we speak these very days, that there is probably

72
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: a lot going on that we don't know about in

73
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: terms of a cover up, the cover ups happening now.

74
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: I guarantee it's happened already, and it's probably happening even

75
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: as we speak. That's my expectation. That's speculation on my part.

76
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: I tend to bet everything I have that I'm right

77
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: on that, because it's now, you know, for for Susan

78
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: Rice to go on NBC as she did two days ago,

79
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: is beyond telling because she had to get out of

80
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: what she had said two weeks ago when she said

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: I know nothing about this because she knows this documentation

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 1: that would prove otherwise, she didn't willingly go on MSNBC

83
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: and Andrew Mitchell with their scripted interview back and forth

84
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: with each other. I mean, they're almost were playing parts

85
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 1: in a movie. It was so scripted in my mind.

86
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, you know, for her to admit the surveillance,

87
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: yes of of Trump and and Candidate Trump and and

88
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: President elect Trump and associates, and the amasking of the names,

89
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: now here's where it gets very fascinating. Now, the primary

90
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: justification that Susan Rice and are democratic defenders for um

91
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,119
Speaker 1: masking the identities of Trump aids and these these top

92
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: secret surveillance kind of went up in smoke because they

93
00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: said those identities were unmasked because of national security concerns. Well,

94
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Fox News has also now gotten on the bandwagon with

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter and they've been doing pretty good investigative work themselves,

96
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: people like James Rosen and Adam Housley, and they said

97
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: that these identities were unmasked because of these national security concerns.

98
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: But Fox is now reporting today that it looks a

99
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: lot more like that Rice and the rest of the

100
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: team of Obama and associates, or on what I have

101
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 1: always suspected, which is a phishing expedition to find embarrassing

102
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: personal details that could be used in political attacks. Now

103
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Fox is reporting that the intelligence reports at the center

104
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: of Susan Rice's unmasking controversy that they were quote detailed,

105
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: almost resembling a private investigator's file, according to a Republican

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: congressman familiar with the documents. Now let me just backtrack here.

107
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 1: Remember the reporting of of Sarah Carter. Remember what she

108
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time going into detail on, and

109
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: that is what changed in in eleven. In other words,

110
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: due to the rules that Obama got approved by the

111
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: Fiser Review Court as it relates to these issues of

112
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: surveillance and unmasking. That in other words, they they fought

113
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: hard in the intelligence community under Obama to get these

114
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 1: rules relaxed. They were claiming the changes would improve intelligence

115
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 1: sharing aimed at solving threats and lone wolf terrorism and

116
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: hackers and foreign espionage. That's what they claimed. And as

117
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: a result of these rule changes by the Fiser Review

118
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Court in twenty eleven and adapted again in twenty fifteen

119
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: just before he left office in January. Remember the two

120
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: weeks prior to him leaving office the amendment to Executive

121
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: Order twelve Triple three. And now you can share that

122
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 1: information with sixteen new agencies, which of course he never

123
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: wanted to live under those rules himself. But now it's

124
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: all beginning to create a pretty big image. And then

125
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: you put together what Congressman Peter King, who's on the

126
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: House Intel Committee and a smart guy and not somebody

127
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: that shy, He actually said the following quote, this is

128
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: information about everyday lives. So what was what have I

129
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: been saying now for the last number of days that

130
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: they were using the guys of national security to spy

131
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 1: surveil Trump and his his transition team and his campaign team.

132
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 1: So this is everything that I was discussing now for

133
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 1: weeks is now being confirmed by Congressman Peter King that

134
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: in fact, the intelligence community has been a politicized and

135
00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: be weaponized. Peter King goes on to say, this information

136
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: is about people's everyday lives. So in other words, it's

137
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: not about Russia. It's not about China, it's not about Iran.

138
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: This is about a police state, is what he's describing here.

139
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: He goes on to say, it's sort of like in

140
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: a divorce case where lawyers are hired and investigators are

141
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 1: hired just to find out what the other person is

142
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 1: doing morning until night, and then you try and piece

143
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: it together later on. Okay, that that doesn't have anything

144
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: to do with national security, and under the guise of

145
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: national security, what they're saying was false anyway. Then he

146
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: goes on before he's and Devin Newness, by the way,

147
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: only recused himself. This is being made into a bigger

148
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: deal than it really is, and I think he did

149
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: it for for um good purposes. I'm getting an update here.

150
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: There is a chance on this health care bill. Um,

151
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: there is a chance, and if they do come to

152
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: an agreement, they will come back next week to do it.

153
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: That I can confirm that's that would definitely happen anyway.

154
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 1: But back to so, Devin Nouna has just recused himself

155
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: only from the Russia Party, remains the chairman of the

156
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee has been unfairly maligned. Now if he

157
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: has to go, then I make the case that Adam Schiff,

158
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: who already is has prejudiced himself and sided with Susan Rice,

159
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 1: is incapable of being objective. Now I'm saying that Adam Shift,

160
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: the Democratic leader on the Intel Committee, he needs to

161
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: recuse himself too. Anyway, before he stepped down from from

162
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: that one issue today and recused himself on that one issue,

163
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 1: Devin Newness had consistently stated that the files caused him

164
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: deep concern because the amasking went beyond the former National

165
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: Security Advisor Michael Flynn and the information was not related

166
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 1: to Moscow. Do you understand where we're going here. We're

167
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: now heading into the police state territory. We're now heading

168
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: into weaponizing intelligence to use against political opponents. We're now

169
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: stepping into an arena where, oh, let's use all these

170
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: great intelligence tools we have. Let's buy on people that

171
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 1: we don't like, and then we could blackmail them, we

172
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: can intimidate them, we can silence them, and we can

173
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: do whatever the hell we want to shut them down.

174
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:17,920
Speaker 1: You got it? You see what really? Now you get

175
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: the picture. And if Peter King is saying this is

176
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: about their everyday lives and having nothing to do with

177
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: it with national security, which Susan Rice is claiming and

178
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: they're looking into you know, that's the same as hiring

179
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: a lawyer an investigator, finding out where people are when

180
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: and where all day that there has nothing to do

181
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: with national security and everything to do with smear, slander, intimidation,

182
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: possible blackmail opportunities, and everything else associated with these types

183
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 1: of of rogue actions. This is really really so far

184
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: beyond anything Watergate related. It's beyond anything you can even

185
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 1: ever imagine. But I can I continue now. Remember Susan

186
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: Rice in the scripted, seemingly scripted interview with Andrea Mitchell,

187
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 1: you know, says the reports were requested by the Obama administration,

188
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 1: which announced the probe into the Russia election hacking issue

189
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 1: in December too. But this was happening before then. This

190
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: was happening in October, before the election. The Office of

191
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence Homeland Security Department put out

192
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: a joint statement about Moscow interference. And Rice told Andrew

193
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 1: Mitchell fulfilling the president's request. His request came in December.

194
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 1: So none of that makes any sense either. And then

195
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: it goes well beyond this. Now, our friend Deroy Murdoch

196
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: detailed the real Russia Gates scandal, and he's picked up

197
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: on what we've talked about, which is the Uranium one deal,

198
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 1: And you know, I think he did a really good job.

199
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: And you know, it turns out there's a ton of

200
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: evidence supporting claims that the one candidate in last year's

201
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: presidential election that was completely calm promised by connections to

202
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: the Kremlin was Hillary and nobody ever wants to talk

203
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 1: about it. And Deroy Murdoch made that case very strong.

204
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: During a visit to Moscow in March of then Secretary

205
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: of State Hillary Clinton explained the purpose of of America's

206
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 1: reset with the Kremlin. Our goal is to help strengthen Russia.

207
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: She actually made that that quote. If Donald Trump had

208
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: ever said that, imagine where the Democrats would be. And

209
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 1: beyond her personally signing off on the uranium one deal

210
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 1: and all the players associated and surrounding it donating millions

211
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: and millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation and control

212
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: of America's uranium stockpile going to Putin via Hillary and

213
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton getting double his speaking fees. I mean, it's

214
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: pretty unbelievable. You know, Hillary helping Boeing seal a major

215
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: sail to the Kremlin. That was part of it. All

216
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: this money funneled back. Now, whatever happened to these investigations?

217
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: Where is James? Call me anyway? Uh noon as noon

218
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: ass replacement may add Hillary to the Russia gay probe.

219
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: Mike Conway and and Congressman Tray Coudy, you have taken over.

220
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: I would not want to mess with Trey Goudy and

221
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: on any legal matter. Let me put it that way. Anyway, Conway,

222
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: the new leader of the House Intelligence Committees probe on

223
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: the Russia meddling, once compared Moscow's hacking to Mexican singers

224
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 1: campaigning for Hillary Clinton. That was pretty funny. But he

225
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: may add Hillary to the Russia gay probe because he

226
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: goes on to say he told the Dallas Morning News

227
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: that they're foreign actors, foreign people influencing the vote in Nevada.

228
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: You don't hear the Democrats screaming and saying one word

229
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: about it. Sure, it's foreign influence. He was asked about

230
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: looking into the Hillary stuff anyway. One Shawn is told

231
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,839
Speaker 1: for the telephone number, you want to be a part

232
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: of the program, all right, and Coulter today, Rick Unger,

233
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gillham, Sarah Carter, will break down the new develop

234
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: mints on the story in her new column out today,

235
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: and and she's getting deeper and deeper, and they are

236
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: doing such a deep dive on this it's amazing. And

237
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: it really is unpeeling an onion on a layer of

238
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: an onion a day. But I'm telling you where it's

239
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: all pointing towards weaponizing, politicizing and turning. Uh you know

240
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: this Obama police status seems to be emerging in this. Yeah,

241
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm saying it. That's what it appears to be. According

242
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: to the comments of Peter King. Fake't find it here alright.

243

265
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: Not a lot of sleep since nine eleven? What is

266
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: she talking about? Eleven nine? She goes, not a lot

267
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: of leap since eleven nine nine or nine eleven? Really,

268
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: So you're gonna compare nine eleven to eleven nine because

269
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: Donald Trump got elected and she's just just off the hinges.

270
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 1: Here there's an interesting piece about all this. Leading New

271
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: York Times columnist is actually warning fellow Democrats that they're

272
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: out of control. Anger over Trump's election risks further alienating

273
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: Middle America. You think it could consign the party to

274
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: permanent minority status. In other words, Democrats, you ever want

275
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 1: to see the inside of the White House again, you

276
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: better stop Madonna and Rosie and Ashley Judd from talking

277
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: about their fantasizing about blowing up the White House or

278
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: bleeding and there whatever you know, as as whatever, what

279
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: did Astley Judd say? Again? We got it there somewhere,

280
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: you know. Nicholas Kristof is the one that's warning them so.

281
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 1: And I absolutely despise these people. One woman tweeted, but

282
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: these people have gone nuts. And to our detractors that

283
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: insist that this march will never add up to anything,

284
00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: thank you you. But this is the hallmark of revolution.

285
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: Yes I'm angry, Yes I am outraged. Yes I have

286
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.

287
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: I am a nastty woman. I'm nasty, like my blood

288
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: stains on my bed sheets. We don't actually choose if

289
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: and when to have our periods. Believe me, if we could,

290
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: some of us would. We don't like throwing away our

291
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: favorite pairs of underpants. Tell me why our tampons and

292
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: pad still taxed when viagra and rogain are not. Is

293
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: your direction really more than protecting the sacred, messy part

294
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 1: of my womanhood? Is the blood stain on my jeans

295
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 1: more embarrassing than the sitting of your hair? And we

296
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: will continue when we get back. We have all the

297
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: other news of the day, Neil Gorst's the constitutional option.

298
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: Let me update you on healthcare. So the House Rules

299
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: Committee earlier today was considering changes to the stalled healthcare bill,

300
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: and these changes proposed by Representative Gary Palmer and and

301
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: David Schweikert Palmer of Alabama, Schwikert of Arizona, that would

302
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: alter the risk pools um there was no plant is

303
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: no plan to bring this bill to the House floor

304
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: now and most members have now ditched. Washington supposedly to

305
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: go on a two weeks Eastern passover recess, but there

306
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 1: is a possibility of a recall of members if in

307
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: fact progress is made today and one of the giving

308

Speaker 1: it in the urgent file on the on the Fox

310
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: News grid. And some lawmakers supported the risk pull edition

311
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: and and Uh. Some see it as an effort to

312
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 1: save face and act as though the GOP was actually

313
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: trying to get somewhere on on healthcare as they abandoned

314
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: the capitol for the two week recess. And they thinking

315
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 1: was that the two week recess could apply pressure on

316
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 1: lawmakers to vote for the bill because they're gonna go

317
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: home and get an earful from their constituents. And but

318
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,160
Speaker 1: Fox is reporting this is not a magic bullet. Other

319
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:49,199
Speaker 1: changes have to be made, and uh apparently that um,

320
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:52,160
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan was pushing members to do healthcare soon

321
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: because he needs you know, there's a trillion dollars in savings,

322
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 1: maybe over a trillion dollars in savings if they passed

323
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: this bill, and that money then would be applied to

324
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: the economic plan. Now they come back on and four

325
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: days later they're facing an ominous potential government shutdown. So

326
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: not getting this done before Easter during going on a

327
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:17,879
Speaker 1: two week hiatus is just ridiculous. In the world that

328
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: all of you and I live in, wouldn't it be

329
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: nice to take a two week holiday. I'm sorry, I'm

330
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: gone for two weeks, then come back for four weeks,

331
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 1: then take a four month, four week holiday, then take

332
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: the summer off. It's unbelievable how little these guys work. UM,

333
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: I have an update that just got in now. Anyway,

334
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: multiple lawmakers are wondering why there's such an effort now

335
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: in the last twelve hours, when um, if they truly

336
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: saved the bill, the GOP would have kept their members summer, saying,

337
00:20:45,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: but others are saying they would need three days to

338
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 1: write up a new bill and therefore let their members

339
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: go home for the weekend, come back Monday or Tuesday.

340
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: If in fact they're able to have a breakthrough in

341
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: this and there was an effort to bring the Palmer

342
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: Schwiker to the rules, can it he was? You know,

343
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: some are claiming this is a good improvement. Others are

344
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: claiming this is an illusion that this was a member

345
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: driven process when it was really a top down, a

346
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: leadership driven process. And some criticism that the bill crafted

347
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: by by Speaker Ryan and the House Energy Committee Chairman

348
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: Greg Walden and the House Ways of Means Committee Chairman

349
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Kevin Brady did not do that. So, you know, this

350
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: goes to what I've been complaining about from the very beginning,

351
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: and that is the process of how they've done this

352
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: whole thing. It makes absolutely no sense that you hide

353
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: a bill, you go score it. Nobody reads the bill.

354
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: Rumors are flying all over the place about what's in

355
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: the bill. Then the bill comes out, then the rumors

356
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: are confirmed. You have not one single group within the

357
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 1: caucus or the conference that supports it. And then you

358
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: put the president, put the bill in the President's hands

359
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: and say this is this has all the things that

360
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: I've wanted in there. And meanwhile, then it's a three

361
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,159
Speaker 1: age process to actually get to where you want. And

362
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: now it's down to a two stage process. So they're

363
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 1: they're making some headway here. But I think one of

364
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: the big obstacles in all of this is, you know,

365
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: on the one hand, you're gonna want Democrats that want

366
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: pretty much everything paid for by everybody else, and they

367
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: want redistribution of wealth in this bill. And that was

368
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 1: one of the big problems of Obamacare, which was the

369
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: young and the healthy, we're paying for the sick, the elderly,

370
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: and the disabled. And meanwhile you have you're certainly going

371
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: to need some high risk pools, but I think that

372
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: was already taken care of in the bill, and those

373
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: with pre existing conditions, you can't ignore those people and

374
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: the people that can't afford anything, but the amount of

375
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 1: savings that is so relevant to moving on to their

376
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: economic plan to get the economy juiced. It just becomes

377
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: troublesome that after eight years, this is where we find ourselves.

378
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: It's it's beyond frustrating to me. And then then taking

379
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:59,439
Speaker 1: a two week vacation, isn't that nice? And when you

380
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: like it to Jason? And and where's Ethan? He's not

381
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 1: even here today? Where's he was here? Earlier? He was here?

382
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 1: I had to let him go early today? Why he

383
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: had something to do? What's something to do? And why

384
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,720
Speaker 1: am I not consulted? Considering I'm the boss. I'm well,

385
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: I'm the boss, and then you're the boss. Okay, I'm

386
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 1: the boss. I'm the boss working in the room that

387
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 1: usually I'm looking in a room that has usually as

388
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: four people. You're trying to save the country right now?

389
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Do you really need to be concerned with these things?

390
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at a room. Sunshine isn't here today?

391
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: Where is she? I had to give her a day off?

392
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 1: Why did you have to give her a day off?

393
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: She wasn't feeling well? And why wasn't I consulted? Like

394
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 1: I said, you're trying to save the country. You're the

395
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 1: same guy who always tells us if you're not feeling well,

396
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: don't come into work because I don't want to get sick.

397
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: So in essence, you really did give her the day.

398
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: I just would like to know. So there's at least

399
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 1: an a loosion and Laren are not going to be

400
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 1: here today, a little late to tell me right, So

401
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,919
Speaker 1: we have no call screener, we have no I'm doing it.

402
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: I'm editing, I'm screening. I've got it. Well, sweet baby

403
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: James is doing his job. He's in his but he

404
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 1: let him work in the office because that's worried. What

405
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: does sweet baby James have to do with the three

406
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: jobs that he's sending over. I'm not adequated doing the

407
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: three jobs kind of? I mean then why then, why

408
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,360
Speaker 1: then why would we have four people if you could

409
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 1: do their job? Why am I paying those people? Because

410
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: now I'm very stressed, I'm getting gray hair early. But

411
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: they're the only reason we have two other people experience

412
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 1: in here, and you're and you're just pulling it. What's

413
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: with the poop poo? Not poop poo I'm just I

414
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: just would like to be consulted considering. I know that

415
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: you may think at times this is your show and

416
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:47,199
Speaker 1: that I'm the boss. You are not the boss. You know.

417
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: In case somebody forgot I do still have the ability

418
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: to hire and fire around here, That's right. I would

419
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: never hire and fire anybody that's above my pagrede. Oh

420
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 1: you go to bat for people that you wan't hired

421
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 1: all the time. You constantly are going to bed he

422
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,919
Speaker 1: got him needs a job. But I don't hire them

423
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 1: without talking to you. Talking to me. Yeah, I have

424
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: to like them, and I have to like the person

425
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,119
Speaker 1: you want me to call you eat tomorrow morning. Let

426
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: you know who's gonna be here like I didn't call you. See,

427
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:17,239
Speaker 1: I really don't want They're very fickle man. I am

428
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: not a fickle man. All right. Let me get to

429
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: the issue of what's going on. There's some really interesting

430
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 1: stuff here as relates to the constitutional option. There's a

431
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:27,280
Speaker 1: really funny headline on the Drudge Report Republicans pushed the

432
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: button and it's got like a nuclear explosion picture going

433
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: on there. Um, let me first say that it's about time.

434
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: It's about time Republicans have got to come to an understanding.

435
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: Democrats hate them. They want to destroy their president. They

436
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 1: don't want them to be successful in any way. And

437
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 1: by the way, there is a House Republicans are now

438
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: pressing Trump to fire Obama's I Rrest commissioner. That has

439
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: to happen, that they have to get rid of this guy.

440
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it because I'm under aut even

441
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,680
Speaker 1: now as we speak. Has nothing to do with it. Oh,

442
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,159
Speaker 1: it's not political. I pay. I pay the highest percentage

443
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 1: imaginable because I just always knew in the back of

444
00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: my head that i'd be a target. So you know,

445
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: it's it's so obnoxious using the I R S as

446
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,639
Speaker 1: a weapon, and everybody's intimidated by I'm not. It's not

447
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 1: that I'm intimidated, and I got better things to do

448
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,439
Speaker 1: with my life, and I don't want to put my

449
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: family in jeopardy, and so I made a a financial

450
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: decision that in the end I might will just pay it,

451
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: because by the time you pay your accountants and your

452
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: lawyers and everybody else involved in the process, it's kind

453
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: of a wash anyway. And I don't want to deal

454
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: with the headache. But I still get the headache anyway,

455
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable anyway, But I digress. But so Republicans they

456
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: do the right thing. They they go by the two

457
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: hundred year precedent and they go along with, Okay, we're

458
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 1: gonna give an up or down vote. They allow a

459
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: culture vote. In other words, they allow the up and

460
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: down vote for the even if it's Elana Kagan a

461
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: Sonya Soldo mayor Ruth Bader Ginsburg or any other left

462
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: wing lunatic that the that Obama or anybody else wants

463
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: to put on a court. But the Democrats break with

464
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: that tradition. Harry Reid's precedent is to put everybody on

465
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 1: the court. The only position he didn't use it for

466
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 1: as the Supreme Court. So now Republicans, finally, it's reported

467
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: in the Hill, are making an additional change to the

468
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: Senate rules or precedents is what they're really talking about here, uh,

469
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: to go forward and confirm President Trump's nominees. Now, this

470
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: is separate from the expected vote that would prevent the

471
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 1: Democrats from using the filibuster to block Trump's nominee to

472
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court Neil Gorstch and the additional change into

473
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: consideration now will impact there's like five Trump positions that

474
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 1: have yet to be filled, and and it's obviously wearing

475
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 1: on everybody else because these are real jobs that are

476
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: really important in top positions, otherwise they wouldn't need confirmation anyway.

477
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,719
Speaker 1: Would reduce the debate time after a nominee clears an

478
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: initial procedural hurdle from thirty hours to eight, greatly reducing

479
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 1: how long the Senate would need to confirm Trump nominees.

480
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 1: John Cornyn said the talks were aimed at finding ways

481
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: to speed up the consideration of Trump's non cabinet selections.

482
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: He said, there's been discussion about that, and I think

483
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: what they ought to do is just continue and expand

484
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 1: on why not make it for legislation, then we don't

485
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:25,199
Speaker 1: even have to consider, you know, reconciliation, the bird role cloture. Ever, again,

486
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: who gives a rip? Because the Democrats are never gonna

487
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: play fair. By the way, it was pretty shocking today

488
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: to read in the Washington Post both Bob Dole and

489
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 1: Trent Lott make the case that the Senate has changed

490
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: that you ken, there's no more reasonable discussions with Democrats

491
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: because they're so hyper and bitterly partisan. So dnnis Senates.

492
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 1: Democrats have set all of this up, and now that

493
00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: has resulted in Senate Republicans deploying the nuclear option because

494
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:59,959
Speaker 1: of the filibuster partisan filibuster of Chuck Schumer and company

495
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: and now led to the point of order, and it

496
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: now led to the Republicans doing what was necessary because

497
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 1: the Democrats were never gonna be fair, they had no

498
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: intention of ever being fair. So I actually think that

499
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 1: this is a good thing in the long run, because

500
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, there's always gonna be

501
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: that double standard anyway. So if you want to understand

502
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: the process more, I can tell you what is the

503
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:26,959
Speaker 1: new What they call the nuclear constitutional option is just

504
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: a parliamentary maneuver which changes Senate precedent, not the rules precedent.

505
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm giving you the I'm giving you the nitty gritty

506
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: on this of your interested So it lowers the bar

507
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: to break the filibuster which the Democrats started on a

508
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: Supreme Court nominee from sixty votes to votes because none

509
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:47,080
Speaker 1: of the Democrats, he had four of them that were

510
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 1: willing to allow an upper down vote. Mitch McConnell deployed

511
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 1: this option to break the Democratic filibuster for Neil Gorsuch

512
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 1: and the vote is expected. Now they have thirty hours

513
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 1: of of whatever going on in the Senate in the

514
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: meantime of debate, and then he will be confirmed sometime

515
00:30:05,520 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: tomorrow evening. Now you really shouldn't call it the nuclear

516
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 1: options a rule change, because what it is officially is

517
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: a change of Senate precedent. For example, the Senate does

518
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 1: much of its work based on long established precedents. Changing

519
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 1: the forty four standing rules of the Senate requires a

520
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: procedural vote that would mean sixty seven yes, So that's

521
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: not gonna happen because it's such a high bar. So

522
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 1: it's easier to alter the precedent rather than change the rules,

523
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 1: which is what McConnell, to his credit, is doing. And

524
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 1: Harry Reid initiated this nuclear option by dropping the bar

525
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: to break the filibuster from six votes on every other

526
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 1: type of of executive branch nominee, as well as federal

527
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 1: judges and Cabinet secretary. So a change in precedent is

528
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: just basically lowering the bar to break a filibuster on legislation.

529
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 1: And McConnell is uh insisted that he's not going to

530
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 1: switch that, but many wonder if the Democrats and now

531
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: Republicans have opened to Pandora's box, arguing that eventually changing

532
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: the filibuster president for legislation is a fated completely. I say,

533
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: do it, do it all because the Democrats. And if

534
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 1: your argument is, well the Democrats, well they then they'll

535
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: have that ability. Okay, Well they basically have it now

536
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 1: because Republicans are too nice and they concede and allow

537
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: up and down boats for people like Ruth Bader Ginsburg

538
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 1: and Elena Kagan and Sonya. So do my oor. Yeah,

539
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: payback is gonna be Hell, don't elect Democrats to the Senate.

540
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: That'll save us. So Republicans feel the president has already

541
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: been set by Harry Reid and there's never been a

542
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: successful filibuster of his Supreme Court nominee. The Senate has

543
00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 1: rejected twelve nominees before. The last was Robert Bork seven.

544
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: The Senate successfully filibuster denomination of Associate Justice Abe Fortist

545
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: to be come Chief Justice in sixty eight. He was

546
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: already on the court. And anyway, all fifty two GOP

547
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: senators will vote to end the filibus to four Democratic

548
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: senators would join them, So they needed four more Democrats,

549
00:32:13,480 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: So some Senate Republicans, you know this, this is the

550
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: only option they had because there's nobody that would be

551
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: acceptable to Chuck Schumer and company. Nobody. And this is

552
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: how they roll, This is what they do. This is

553
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: how bitterly partisan they are. They have broken a two

554
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: year history and now the Republicans either give into it.

555
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,120
Speaker 1: And to the credit of the Republicans, they're finally doing

556
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: something smart, shocking. It's a rare moment where you have

557
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: to give them credit for doing the right thing. Thank God.

558
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 1: And Neil Gorsuch, I hope will be the person we

559
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 1: think that he is my owndications he is. Hey, listen,

580
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: investigative reporter, our friend, national senior national security correspondent for

581
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: Circuit dot Com has her new column out today. We'll

582
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: get to that and the latest on the surveillance, unmasking

583
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 1: and the leaking of intelligence, which is now becoming very

584
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: obvious that we have weaponized the intelligence community. Sean Hannity,

585
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: all right, our tow Sean Hannity Show told free or

586
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: telephone numbers eight hundred nine four one sewn if you

587
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. A top

588
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: story remains, although we're watching now the constitutional option being

589
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 1: used by Republicans. Finally we're getting some work out of

590
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 1: these guys. It's good to see a little bit of backbone,

591
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of strength. We're watching monitoring all of

592
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: that unfolding. But our good friend Sarah Carter over at

593
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: Circuit News and John Solomon over at Circu News are

594
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: now advancing this, this surveillance unmasking, intelligence leaking story, and

595
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: their headline today is US spy agencies intercept unmasked congressional

596
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: figures as often as once a month. Add to that

597
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: comments by Congressman Peter King about the intelligence for courts

598
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: that center around Susan Rice and the amasking controversy, and

599
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: he's describing it as almost resembling a private investigator's file. Quote.

600
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: This is information about their everyday lives. He's a member

601
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 1: of the House Intel Committee's sort of like in a

602
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: divorce case where lawyers are hired and investigators are hired

603
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 1: just to find out what the other person is doing

604
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: from morning until night, and then you try and piece

605
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 1: it together later on. And of course Devin Nunias stepped

606
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: aside and recused himself only from the Russia side of

607
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 1: the investigation, and Trey Goudy and others will be stepping

608
00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: in to take his place. Uh. Not a smart move

609
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: by the Democrats in my opinion, and it raises questions

610
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: about whether Adam Schiff, who's already jumped to conclusions and

611
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,360
Speaker 1: is defending Susan Rice, whether he should also step aside.

612
00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter A lot to get to today. How are you?

613
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm all right, let's get into this new column, in

614
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:54,759
Speaker 1: this new layer of the onion. You've been able to

615
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: unppeel here. Oh yes, I think that this is very significant,

616
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: to the point where not only were we concerned when

617
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: it was revealed to us that the unmasking really of

618
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 1: congressional representatives on the Hill, but the fact that many

619
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 1: of them don't even know they're being unmasked. So we

620
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,839
Speaker 1: went back and talked to people who were in charge. UH.

621
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 1: Chairman Pete Huckstra spoke spoke with me last night and

622
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to know, does this happen regularly? I mean,

623
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,799
Speaker 1: was this something that he was familiar with? And he

624
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 1: said this absolutely did not happen on a regular basis

625
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: that the only time they were aware of unmasking of

626
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: a congressional representatives telephone conversation or intercept with persons overseas, if,

627
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 1: for example, the congressional representative was approached by somebody, let's

628
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,879
Speaker 1: say from Russia or the Ukraine or China, and that

629
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 1: person was posing as somebody else and they were trying

630
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: to talk to our congressman or about about his particular issue.

631
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: So if if the intelligence community knew that the person

632
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: that was in communication or reaching out to somebody in

633
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 1: Congress was a spy, was working with the FSB in

634
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: Russia or something else, then they may take that to

635
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,120
Speaker 1: the Gang of Eight or to the chairman of the

636
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: House Intelligence Committee and say, look, you know, we know

637
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: that Congressman so and so was approached by this person.

638
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Would you please, you know, inform them or should we

639
00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: inform them that they have been approached by a spy?

640
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,160
Speaker 1: And and that was the only time, and he said

641
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: that was extraordinarily rare, but that this is happening once

642
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 1: a month, and that other Congressional members have no idea

643
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: that they have been unmasked is deeply concerning, not just

644
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 1: to him, but also Senator Grassley, who we spoke with

645
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: at the House Judiciary Committee, and others as well. On background,

646
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what Peter King said, What do you

647
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: know about that. Well, this is very interesting. Remember this

648
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: was what our sources had originally told us that the

649
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,960
Speaker 1: concern wasn't just about that they were requesting the unmasking,

650
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: but it appeared to be a type of weaponization of

651
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: intelligence for political espionage. They were gathering too much information

652
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 1: that it exceeded far beyond Russia. And so I think

653
00:38:10,760 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 1: there's a point there that if they're building up these

654
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: types of dossiers on people, if they're looking at everything

655
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: that they're doing, if this turns out to be true,

656
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: then I think that certainly elevates this to a whole

657
00:38:23,440 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: new level shine because what we're saying is the Fourth

658
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: the Fourth Amendment, the foundation to our right for privacy,

659
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,279
Speaker 1: which is really what America is based on. It's based

660
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 1: on this republic where we're guaranteed certain rights, where we're

661
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: hearing to the right not to be listened to or

662
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,720
Speaker 1: followed to, I mean without warrant, without warrant. This raises

663
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 1: it to a whole new level. When people in power

664
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: have this capability and are able to access private information,

665
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: we have to be very very concerned. It sounds to

666
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 1: me like this has nothing to do with Russia at all.

667
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: In any way shape matter of form, and could you

668
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: go a little bit deeper in to what you have

669
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: discovered as it leads as it relates to, for example,

670
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: the so called Gates notifications and you know, named after

671
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: Robert Gates, which goes to the Gang of Eight in

672
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: in Congress, and you have now top members and congressional

673
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 1: figures now being intercepted and unmasked as often as once

674
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: a month. I mean, this to me sounds so intrusive well,

675
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: and and to others it's not just to you. I

676
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 1: mean this is this is intrusive on on many different levels.

677
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: And this is going to be another part of this investigation, right.

678
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: I mean, if we're looking at the Gang of Eight,

679
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: so what that includes is the House Speaker, the Minority leader, um,

680
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: the Democratic leaders, Senate Republicans, and bipartisan heads of the

681
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,879
Speaker 1: chambers of the intelligence committees. So now you're thinking that

682
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: they're delivering this information and it's going and unreadapted to

683
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: the executive branch intelligence reports. So this is going all

684
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,600
Speaker 1: the way up to the top dogs in the White House, right,

685
00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: so they're going to have access to these these intercepts

686
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: and they're going to be able to see him and

687
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: now the congressional representatives if they weren't told, right, if

688
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 1: it wasn't involving, for example, maybe being approached by a

689
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:14,479
Speaker 1: spy from another country, which happened. I mean, intercepting these

690
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: calls is not rare. And that's something that Pete Hochstra

691
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: made very clear. He said, you know, the fact that

692
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: they intercept calls like this is is not unreasonable because

693
00:40:23,800 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: there's five five members and and their assistant. Yeah, but

694
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,720
Speaker 1: you also say in your article it was rare during

695
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: his tenure to be alerted that a lawmaker congressional stafford

696
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 1: had been unmasked unless there was a serious threat. That's

697
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:40,040
Speaker 1: where he says the concern comes in. The concern comes

698
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: in when they are actually unmasked, and then they are

699
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,520
Speaker 1: not notified that they've been unmasked, and then this information

700
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: then reaches, you know, gets put in adossi a up

701
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 1: to the highest levels of the executive branch, and they

702
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,319
Speaker 1: were able to see it, but the congressional representative can't

703
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: see it or their aids. They don't know that they've

704
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: been unmasked. They're they're they're left out in the dark, right,

705
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 1: And then we have to ask ourselves and what was

706
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 1: the information, What was the request for unmasking this? Why

707
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: were they unmasked? And I think those are the answers

708
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 1: that well the Executive Branch and the Intelligence community need

709
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,080
Speaker 1: to answer, because those are sure sure enough being questioned

710
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,960
Speaker 1: right now is violation of their Fourth Amendment and First

711
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 1: Amendment rights. Now you talk about three years ago the

712
00:41:25,239 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: Charles Grassley was alerted to that a government whistle blowers

713
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:32,360
Speaker 1: communication with the staff was obtained by the intelligence community.

714
00:41:32,680 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 1: I mean that to me is so outrageous. Well yeah,

715
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: and then the fact that he didn't even really talk

716
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: about that publicly, and then when he heard about this,

717
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: he's like, look, we really need to we really need

718
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: to take a good look at what's going on here.

719
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,239
Speaker 1: I mean, we have whistleblowers going to Charles Grassley. I

720
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: mean I have people you know now coming out of

721
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 1: the woodwork because they realized that this has been happening

722
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,840
Speaker 1: all the time and they want to share this information.

723
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I mean, remember when the CIA, it was it was

724
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: forced to admit it that some of its employees spied

725
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 1: into the computers of Democratic staffers. And we talk about

726
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 1: that in our story to and Senator Diane Finstein. So

727
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: I mean grassly acknowledged that this is a very serious problem.

728
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,280
Speaker 1: And remember this comes up for review this year, um

729
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:18,640
Speaker 1: in the Judiciary Committee, this expansion of the of the fights,

730
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: these these expansions that actually allowed people to request these

731
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: unmaskings with such little information. So we've said this before,

732
00:42:27,560 --> 00:42:29,839
Speaker 1: and I've said this on your show before, where they

733
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 1: can just basically write down Susan Rice could request the

734
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 1: unmasking of a certain phone intercept, and all she would

735
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: have to say is for national security purposes. Well, that

736
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 1: could mean anything and and and just putting that down

737
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: would allow her to unmask. So it wasn't like she

738
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:48,040
Speaker 1: had to give a lot of justification for unmasking people.

739
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: And now we see it was happening. Well, that goes

740
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: to the rules that Obama got approved by the Fiser

741
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 1: Review Court in eleven, which was your earlier breakthrough report.

742
00:42:56,920 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: Now we're seeing the magnitude of that ruled change. And

743
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:03,920
Speaker 1: I guess you know, to me, what where this seems

744
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:08,240
Speaker 1: to be headed? And I'm I don't see any other justification.

745
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: I can't think of any other possible reason in my

746
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 1: own mind. It seems to be going to where I

747
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,439
Speaker 1: believe it is, and that is we have weaponized and

748
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 1: we have politicized our intelligence community more and more. My

749
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: suspicion goes to the higher echelon of government and government

750
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:32,560
Speaker 1: spy agencies, meaning like I E. C. I A. Director Brennan. Well,

751
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 1: certainly a lot. There's going to be a lot of questions,

752
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: especially when it goes when it comes to the C.

753
00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 1: I A. By the way, whenever, whenever you start saying,

754
00:43:42,360 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 1: like when you slow down, I know you're being very

755
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: careful with your words. Let's go back to my original question.

756
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,720
Speaker 1: What I see happening here is the weaponization of intelligence,

757
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 1: politicizing intelligence, and it the only logical place this goes

758
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: as to those in the upper echelon, people like see

759
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:08,280
Speaker 1: I Director Brennan. Now you start talking slowly and carefully.

760
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: Go ahead, You're gonna make me talk slow. We have

761
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 1: to be very careful. That's why I'm talking slowly. And

762
00:44:14,719 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: that's why I'm asking all of this. All of this

763
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 1: has to be based on evidence, right, we have to

764
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: prove it public. That's why I'm asking a question. But

765
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:28,439
Speaker 1: it does, it does? I am an awful human being.

766
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:29,959
Speaker 1: I don't even know why you come on my show.

767
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:31,719
Speaker 1: But I'm but but but I need we need a

768
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: serious answer to that, because to me, that's you. Yes,

769
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: we do. And what I can say is this, you know,

770
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: when we looked at these documents, and the scope didn't

771
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 1: test focus on the Congress, it focused also as well.

772
00:44:46,480 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: And if you look at some of the documents that

773
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,320
Speaker 1: we have posted we've attached to Circuit dot com inside

774
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: our stories, you'll see a very interesting, interesting point that

775
00:44:56,440 --> 00:45:03,320
Speaker 1: you're trying to make. There were journalists, clergy, uh, doctors,

776
00:45:03,719 --> 00:45:10,360
Speaker 1: lawyers that are also included in these rules on FISA intercepts. Okay,

777
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: so it's very interesting how the FBI intercepts people and

778
00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:19,520
Speaker 1: unmasks them. In two thousand and fifteen, it became very specific.

779
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: And this is very important, Sean, because this was something

780
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 1: that you had asked me about, you know, just yesterday,

781
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: and when we were talking about this, you know, we're

782
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: journalists swept up in this, alright. I gotta ask you

783
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:34,560
Speaker 1: when we get back if you found any information. I mean,

784
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: do you know how many people are writing me telling

785
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: me I have been surveiled and unmasked. I have not

786
00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:43,520
Speaker 1: been able to confirm that, but unless our carter from

825
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:36,080
Speaker 1: who has been doing incredible investigative work on this whole

826
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,960
Speaker 1: issue of surveillance and unmasking and leaking of intelligence. She

827
00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: is a senior National correspondent for Circa dot com, and

828
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 1: she along with John Solomon, have their latest piece out

829
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: today about how U spy agencies intercepted unmasked congressional figures

830
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: as often as once a month. And we have Peter

831
00:47:53,440 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: King on Records saying that, well, the information that was

832
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: being gleaned by Susan Rice is on masking, et cetera,

833
00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:04,360
Speaker 1: contained personal dirt on people associated with Donald Trump. He

834
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,800
Speaker 1: described it as news and information about their everyday lives.

835
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,959
Speaker 1: Like a divorce case. We have attorneys and investigators looking

836
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: into what a spouse is doing to the other spouse. Um,

837
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: all right, so I I know you probably because you're

838
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,920
Speaker 1: all over the story. Maybe people have asked you about

839
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 1: me in this case. But I mean I'm getting asked

840
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: by everybody every single minute of every day, and I

841
00:48:23,680 --> 00:48:26,040
Speaker 1: don't have an answer, and I'm just reading what everybody

842
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:28,839
Speaker 1: else is reading and I haven't gotten any word back

843
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 1: as of yet. I mean, what is all of this

844
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: about me? And this whole thing? Yeah, well, I think

845
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: that you know, people obviously see you. I mean, you've

846
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 1: been very outspoken, You've had very close relationship with President Trump,

847
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: and of course you're swept up into this whirlwind of

848
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: of controversy, and I think you have a right to

849
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,399
Speaker 1: be concerned and wonder if you know there was any

850
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:52,239
Speaker 1: unmasking of your phone conversations. Now, remember it would be

851
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: conversations that you would have had from the United States

852
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 1: to somebody foreign, or they could have rerouted it for

853
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,440
Speaker 1: into foreign back over to somebody else that was talking

854
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:04,399
Speaker 1: about you. So there's very interesting ways and different kinds

855
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: of loopholes that would allow people to unmask and find

856
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,360
Speaker 1: out more information about you. Like I said, you've interviewed

857
00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 1: Julian Assange many times. If you had conversations with him

858
00:49:13,840 --> 00:49:16,319
Speaker 1: on your cell phone, very easily your name could have

859
00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:18,359
Speaker 1: been a mask, Shaun. The thing is, we don't know,

860
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 1: right because they are such highly classified document and unless

861
00:49:22,200 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: somebody is willing to leak that information, unless someone is

862
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 1: willing to share that information. So I need a friend,

863
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: need a friend inside the intelligence community that knows about

864
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: it that would give me that information. Wouldn't that look

865
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 1: I don't, I can't. I'm being very clear about this.

866
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,239
Speaker 1: I cannot confirm or corroborate this in any way, and

867
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: I'm only reading what other people are reading. But wouldn't

868
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,719
Speaker 1: that open up for me a right for civil litigation

869
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: and civil action against those people that surveiled and unmasked me.

870
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not a lawyer, but I believe it would. UM.

871
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:53,040
Speaker 1: I believe it would because there are certain Amendment rights,

872
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,359
Speaker 1: and you know, we think of certain protections, especially when

873
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 1: it comes to UM and I don't know, especially when

874
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: it comes to our our civil liberties, and you know,

875
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 1: be able to speak privately to someone on the phone,

876
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,240
Speaker 1: especially when you're not conducting and you're not doing anything criminal,

877
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 1: when there's no warrant for you, when you're just a

878
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: regular citizen with the right to believe the way you

879
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 1: want to believe. And everybody has those right as long

880
00:50:13,480 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: as you don't harm anyone else or you're not committing

881
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,759
Speaker 1: a criminal act, you should have the right to privacy.

882
00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: But one of the interesting things that we discovered in

883
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 1: our reporting, both John and I, was that, you know,

884
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: when the FBI wrote the rules UM in two thousand

885
00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: and fifteen, it actually came up with this idea of

886
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: like of circumstances UM in which you know, visa intercepts

887
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:36,400
Speaker 1: could be enmassed and shared, uh in other sensitive professions

888
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:38,560
Speaker 1: like we think. I think of myself as a journalist

889
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 1: as having, you know, extra care. They're gonna take extra caution,

890
00:50:41,920 --> 00:50:43,839
Speaker 1: right because the FBI is really not going to get

891
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 1: want to get involved in investigating me per se because

892
00:50:48,239 --> 00:50:51,399
Speaker 1: I'm trying to report stories. We have sources. I mean,

893
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: what happened. As long as I'm not violating any laws,

894
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,239
Speaker 1: you should not be exactly. I've gotta go, But I

895
00:50:57,320 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: gotta praise you and and John. I mean, you guys

896
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 1: are like the Woodward and Bernstein of our time, and

897
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: the work you've done has been phenomenal, and you're so

898
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: generous and sharing this information with our audience. And thank you.

899
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter Circuit News when we come back in Culter

900
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:14,800
Speaker 1: straight ahead now till the top of the hour one Sean,

901
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:16,319
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, right,

902
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna bring in in Culter here in just a second.

903
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 1: But first and foremost, let's let's go over Susan Rice

904
00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: lying just two weeks ago on PBS and then totally

905
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: contradicting yourself two days ago on NBC. I know nothing

906
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:35,320
Speaker 1: about this. I was surprised to see reports from Chairman

907
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: Unis on that count. Today. I mean, let's back up

908
00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: and recall where we have been the President of the

909
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:47,280
Speaker 1: United States accused his predecessor, President Obama, wire tapping Trump

910
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,719
Speaker 1: Tower during the campaign. Nothing of the sort occurred. Did

911
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:56,280
Speaker 1: you seek the names of people involved in to unmask

912
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 1: the names of people involved in the Trump transition, the

913
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:03,840
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, people surrounding the the president elect to spy

914
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: on them? And absolutely, absolutely not for any political purposes

915
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 1: to spy expose anything. I really don't know to what

916
00:52:12,280 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 1: Chairman Nunez was referring, but he said that whatever he

917
00:52:16,160 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: was referring to was a legal, lawful surveillance and that

918
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 1: it was potentially incidental collection on American citizens. And I

919
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 1: think it's important for people to understand what incidental means.

920
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 1: That means that the target was a either a foreign

921
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: entity or somebody under criminal investigation. But the fact is

922
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: that uh In, the President did request back in December

923
00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: the intelligence community compile all of the information that it

924
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 1: had on what it transpired during the campaign with respect

925
00:52:50,960 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 1: to the Russians involving themselves in the presidential campaign, and

926
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 1: that report was provided to the American people and unclassified

927
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 1: form and to Congress. Uh In classified for him in

928
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 1: early January. Did the pace accelerate during the transition perhaps

929
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:12,120
Speaker 1: in early December, perhaps when the President ordered an investigation

930
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: into the hacking, the Russian hacking. Did the pace of

931
00:53:16,880 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 1: unmasking requests, if you're unmasking requests, accelerate towards the end

932
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,200
Speaker 1: of the White House tenure? And I can't say the

933
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,200
Speaker 1: pace of an unmasking request would accelerate, but if you're

934
00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: asking where they're more reports provided to senior US officials

935
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,280
Speaker 1: after the President requested the compilation of the intelligence, which

936
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:40,319
Speaker 1: was ultimately um provided in January. Yes, what happened was

937
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:43,440
Speaker 1: as the i C went about the business, intelligence community

938
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: religence business of following up on the President's order fulfilling

939
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:49,319
Speaker 1: the presidence request for such a report, they went back

940
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,800
Speaker 1: and scrubbed more reports. They began to provide more such

941
00:53:52,800 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: reports to American officials, including myself. This is not anything political.

942
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 1: Has has been a alleged. The allegation is that somehow

943
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: Obama administration officials h utilized intelligence for political purposes. That's

944
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: absolutely false. So it goes from knowing nothing to knowing

945
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:16,319
Speaker 1: everything and admitting unmasking, and that means acknowledging surveillance of

946
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,080
Speaker 1: a candidate and then a president elect and his transition

947
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,800
Speaker 1: team and all the reports now from Sarah Carter go

948
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:25,240
Speaker 1: a step further that they were looking not into anything

949
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: connected to Russia, but into the personal lives of individuals,

950
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 1: which then raises a lot of questions about how we

951
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: have weaponized and politicized intelligence gathering in the country and

952
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:38,279
Speaker 1: Cult author of the best selling book in Trump We

953
00:54:38,360 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 1: Trust e pluribus. Awesome as you have to talk about

954
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: this and obviously the constitutional option that is being used today.

955
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,200
Speaker 1: How are you, thanks, How are you? I'm good. It's

956
00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: always great to talk to you. By the way, I

957
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 1: love reading rumors about you on the internet. I'm not

958
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 1: even going to mention them. But it was very entertaining

959
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 1: from my perspective considering our history together. Um well for

960
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 1: people who don't know sickly any and well gothap poems

961
00:55:02,880 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 1: are always sent in by by the agents. It was

962
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: on the private life. But basically anyone that I am

963
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: alleged to be dating, you know that in the universe

964
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 1: is impossible dating. I am not dating those people. It

965
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: was very It actually made the wheel on a o

966
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,720
Speaker 1: L which I thought was, wow, this must be huge

967
00:55:24,800 --> 00:55:27,800
Speaker 1: and uh we are This one has been going around forever.

968
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,960
Speaker 1: Jimmy Walker and I are friends, no romance, and he's

969
00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: a great guy too. I like him a lot. And

970
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,960
Speaker 1: the Republican it's correct, all right, Let's start with the

971
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:38,919
Speaker 1: lies and the top of our Bankazi lies and then

972
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: contradicting and then admitting surveillance, unmasking and Sarah Carter and

973
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 1: now saying it's about personal lives. Well, it's hilarious that

974
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,800
Speaker 1: this has gone. Everything Trump says is hysterically denounced, and

975
00:55:49,920 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: usually within two days it's proved true. Um, from the

976
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,720
Speaker 1: hysteria over at the very beginning, Um, Mexico isn't sending

977
00:55:58,760 --> 00:56:01,959
Speaker 1: their best And then you know what, a week later

978
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,439
Speaker 1: we get Kate Steinley. Um we had then, Um, look

979
00:56:05,440 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 1: at what's happening in Sweden? What are you talking about?

980
00:56:08,120 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 1: Sweden is the safest place in the world, huge riot

981
00:56:10,440 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: Muslim rides blow up, and now we've gone to I mean,

982
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,920
Speaker 1: this is one of the most stunning turnabouts I've seen

983
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: from Trump. Means to apologize to Obama for accusing him

984
00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: of committing a felony and spying on the Trump campaign

985
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: to well, yeah, we were spying, but it wasn't political

986
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,960
Speaker 1: and it wasn't to love. We do it. Everybody it's

987
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 1: the craziest turnabout. And now you know, we at least understand. Um.

988
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 1: It seems like kind of overkilled to be so upset

989
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: about Hillary losing. Um, for for Democrats and the media

990
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 1: to obsess on this nothing burger Russia story um, which

991
00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: is completely collapsed. UM. And I wrote a little about

992
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 1: that this week. UM. But now we see why they

993
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: were doing it. This was going to be their excuse

994
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:59,719
Speaker 1: when they get exposed, um for spying on private citizens,

995
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: on masking them from the White House itself. I mean,

996
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: it's getting to the point where we're going to find

997
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: that Obama was actually crawling around, you know, wiring Trump Tower.

998
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 1: The way things are going with their story unraveling, but

999
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: now this is going to be their defense. Well we

1000
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: had to because of this fear of Russian collusion with

1001
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: the Trump team. UM. And if I could just mention

1002
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: one thing that hasn't been hasn't been talked about, because

1003
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: there's no evidence for Russia trying to influence the election. UM.

1004
00:57:27,840 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: What I wrote about this week because I hadn't seen

1005
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 1: anyone else say this. The basic story, apart from the

1006
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:36,919
Speaker 1: absence of evidence, the basic story is is cockamami. Their

1007
00:57:37,080 --> 00:57:41,919
Speaker 1: claim is Um, Russia wanted Trump to win. Point one

1008
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: point to that that their their dastardly planned for accomplishing

1009
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: making Trump the president of the United States was to

1010
00:57:49,240 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: get in and release emails from the d n C

1011
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 1: showing that the d n C was was being horrible

1012
00:57:55,240 --> 00:57:59,840
Speaker 1: to Bernie Sanders. It's just a crazy theory on every level.

1013
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 1: This is Russia is a nation trained in spycraft. Um.

1014
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: We didn't even know. Um We American experts, in in

1015
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:11,120
Speaker 1: politicians didn't know how this election was going to turn out.

1016
00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,560
Speaker 1: Remember the Democrats were praying, oh, we want to run

1017
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: against Trump. Ha ha ha, this is a disaster for Republicans. Um.

1018
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: The day of the election, New York Times had Hillary

1019
00:58:20,560 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 1: with a ninety one chance of winning. But um. Oh,

1020
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 1: and plus the idea that Russia would not want to

1021
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:31,439
Speaker 1: deal with the corrupt, biable president Hillary Clinton, but rather

1022
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 1: a loose cannon who wants to drill Donald Trump. Um.

1023
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: But how it releasing these emails with the d n

1024
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 1: C and w Waserons going after Bernie Sanders, How does

1025
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: that help Trump? They could have been the worst thing

1026
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 1: that happened to Trump. The Democrats might have gotten their

1027
00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: act together and said, oh my gosh, she's taking us

1028
00:58:50,120 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: down to defeat. We've got to have a come to

1029
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 1: Jesus moment with with Hillary and tell her she's got

1030
00:58:54,840 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 1: to drop out. We're running Joe Biden. Um. You just

1031
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 1: never know how these things are going to affect an election,

1032
00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 1: and the idea that this was Russia's idea. Add to

1033
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 1: that the fact that Julian Assange, I mean, quite obviously

1034
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 1: the logical leaker here is someone within the d n

1035
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:13,920
Speaker 1: C who thought Hillary is taking us down to defeat.

1036
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 1: We've had it with the David Brox and the Debbie Wasserman.

1037
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 1: Schultze's um leaking this stuff. Um. And that's what Julian

1038
00:59:20,280 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: Assange says, as well as one of his associates. That's

1039
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,400
Speaker 1: where they say it came from a d n C whistleblower,

1040
00:59:26,640 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 1: which is the only story that makes sense. Well, was

1041
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: actually one of his associates. He's never confirmed. I did

1042
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:33,520
Speaker 1: ask him when I had a chance to interview him.

1043
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny how he comes under fire, but

1044
00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: the New York Times printed everything he printed. Well, he

1045
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:42,240
Speaker 1: did clearly say it's not Russia. He'd say the guy

1046
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: who collected it um. Allegedly, he describes where it was

1047
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: a d n C whistleblower passed him the emails. It

1048
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 1: was a park near American University. And whatever you think

1049
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 1: of it, Julian Assangey, maybe you know a reckless zealot.

1050
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 1: Nobody says he's a liar. He's very nearly the opposite.

1051
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: He's you maybe a little too self righteous, but he's

1052
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: not the kind of person New Lives, he says, not Russia.

1053
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,160
Speaker 1: It's a d n C whistleblower. And again, the whole story,

1054
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 1: it only makes sense of the d n C whistleblower. Um.

1055
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: But now we see why they're so obsessed with these

1056
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: weird connections and and really crazy conspiracy theories, which is

1057
01:00:17,880 --> 01:00:20,960
Speaker 1: always a specialty of the left. They need to pretend

1058
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 1: there's some sort of collusion between Trump and Russia to

1059
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,880
Speaker 1: explain why they were using the apparatus of of the

1060
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: federal government, national security, deep state intelligence to spy on

1061
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: political opponent. Well, and it gets deeper, and this goes

1062
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 1: to the heart of Sarah Carter's big breakthrough article today,

1063
01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and that is that not only were they surveilling and

1064
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 1: unmasking and in the case of General Flynn leaking, which

1065
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,960
Speaker 1: is a felony, but we now find out that almost

1066
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 1: it resembled almost a private investigator's file, and the information

1067
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: is about people's everyday lives. And and that's confirmed by

1068
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 1: Peter King of New York, the congressman. He said, it's

1069
01:00:59,160 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: sort of like in a force case where the lawyers

1070
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 1: are hired, investigators are hired just to find out what

1071
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the other person is doing morning until night, until you

1072
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,560
Speaker 1: try and piece it together, right, right, And that's a

1073
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 1: police state. And this is now, I I know, well,

1074
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 1: the police state is now in the control of Donald Trump,

1075
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: and I think they got to start declassifying and releasing

1076
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I mean, I suspect what they're doing

1077
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:25,480
Speaker 1: is um allowing the Democrats to go out more and

1078
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,800
Speaker 1: more and more on a limb um before revealing the truth.

1079
01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 1: But this is now in the control of President Trump. Um,

1080
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 1: and it may be and I doubt it will be

1081
01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: particularly embarrassing. It might be a little embarrassing for some

1082
01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:42,600
Speaker 1: people who are being secretly surveilled, but um, I think

1083
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 1: it's worth it. This is a pretty shocking I may

1084
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: have to hire you as my lawyer too, because I

1085
01:01:46,760 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 1: got Jay Sekulo and Joe Degeneva, and maybe I'll get

1086
01:01:49,400 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: you in Levin and part of my my team. If

1087
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I was surveiled in a mass what do you think, Oh,

1088
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 1: you're just gonna be talking about the penny plan. It'll

1089
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: be fine. Thanks a lot, and you know, just at

1090
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: least create an image that it might be a little

1091
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: more interesting than that. You know, you can demand that

1092
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 1: your tapes be released because I want to see them all.

1093
01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean, if they were going after you, I have

1094
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,760
Speaker 1: no problem. I have no problem if they were. I mean,

1095
01:02:12,800 --> 01:02:15,320
Speaker 1: that really does show how crazy and how political. No,

1096
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: that just it's tied in with the whole there's obsession

1097
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 1: with Bill O'Riley right now. And if we could just

1098
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: have a little footnote on that. What Fox News compared

1099
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: to other cable networks. Good grief at one prominent cable network.

1100
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 1: You and I know it's unbelievable. You and I know

1101
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,920
Speaker 1: more stories. And by the way, also the heads and networks,

1102
01:02:39,080 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm talking about. Stay right there,

1103
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: all right, we'll take a break more within culture. Hey,

1104
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,120
Speaker 1: maybe I have an old phone. Maybe like to donate

1105
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 1: it to resell your old phone. You gotta be careful

1106
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:51,760
Speaker 1: because identity thieves. They purposely purchase old phones. They apply

1107
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: scanning technology and they're able to dig up personal information

1108
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: and they can recreate your identity and open accounts and

1109
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 1: your names. Now, if you're gonna get rid of a phone,

1110
01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 1: instead of smashing it, which I recommend, take five minutes,

1111
01:03:03,200 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: take out the SIM card, the s D card, encrypt

1112
01:03:05,360 --> 01:03:08,080
Speaker 1: your data, white it clean like Hillary, use bleach bit

1113
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 1: and it will be time well spent. Now. Identity theft

1114
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: as America's fastest growing crime. That's when thieves destroy your

1115
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:17,880
Speaker 1: name and reputation, use your identity, pretend they're you, buying

1116
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: things on your credit, liquidating your bank, your retirement accounts.

1117
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: In this day and age, you need LifeLock dot Com

1118
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:27,320

1128
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,439
Speaker 1: news round up, Information Overload hour here on the Sean

1129
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Hannity Show, eight hundred nine one, Sean, Oh, we got

1130
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: little Chucky Schumer, of course, cry baby Schumer, and he's

1131
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 1: out there attacking the president, trying to sound like a

1132
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 1: tough guy. Mr uh, Mr filibuster himself. Mr obstructionists themselves.

1133
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,960
Speaker 1: Listen to this. When Donald Trump campaigned, one of the

1134
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 1: main issues he campaigned on was that China takes us

1135
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: out to lunch, stealing millions of American jobs, trillions of

1136
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:29,520
Speaker 1: American dollars in wealth through unfair trade practices. And yet

1137
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: since Donald Trump has become president, when it comes to trade,

1138
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 1: his policies make America look like a ninety eight pound weakling.

1139
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:41,760
Speaker 1: He has done virtually nothing. Isn't this the same cry

1140
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 1: baby Schumer we've known about forever. I named my daughter.

1141
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Her middle name is Emma, named for Emma Lazarus, the

1142
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 1: great poet who wrote those lines on the pedestal of

1143
01:04:55,200 --> 01:04:59,919
Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty. Give me you're tired, your poor,

1144
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:06,040
Speaker 1: You're huggled masses yearning to breathe. Three freak, what weak

1145
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:21,520
Speaker 1: the rest. So this executive border was mean spirited American American.

1146
01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,480
Speaker 1: It was implemented in a way that created chaos and

1147
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: confusion across the country, and it will only serve to

1148
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:33,520
Speaker 1: embolden and inspire those around the globe who will do

1149
01:05:33,640 --> 01:05:36,360
Speaker 1: us harm. I noticed that Chuck showed me yesterday with

1150
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: sake tears. I'm gonna ask him who was his acting coach,

1151
01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: because I know very well I don't see him as

1152
01:05:44,360 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 1: a crier. If he is, he's a different man. It

1153
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: was about a five percent chance that it was real,

1154
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,439
Speaker 1: But I think there were fake tears. I say, where

1155
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 1: was the outrage of the Democrats when all of our

1156
01:05:55,760 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 1: companies were fleeing to Mexico and to other places far

1157
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:04,080
Speaker 1: away and leaving jobs behind. Now they're all coming back,

1158
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, Johnny is now Rick Hunger and Jonathan Gillham.

1159
01:06:08,360 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: We're going over all the news of the day, which

1160
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 1: is very top story obviously remains surveillance. Now we've discovered

1161
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: that they're literally looking into the private lives like divorce

1162
01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 1: hearings of Trump associates and of course the Republicans. Who's

1163
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: in the constitutional option? Uh? Mr Unger, you want to

1164
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:27,920
Speaker 1: weigh in on your your buddy Chucky. You love Chucky,

1165
01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:31,000
Speaker 1: don't you? Chuck e cheese? Actually I got a bigger

1166
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 1: kick out of hearing you cry there. That was pretty good. Uh.

1167
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,080
Speaker 1: You know, listen, I don't know why Chucky is so

1168
01:06:36,200 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: upset because that executive order he was crying about, it's

1169
01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 1: still stuck in the courts. You mean you're judge shopping

1170
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: little technique worked? Is that what your suggesting? Oh? Come on,

1171
01:06:46,880 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 1: they want judge shopping based on the states. Yeah, I

1172
01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,800
Speaker 1: guess that's probably true. You pick states that are gonna

1173
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 1: exactly except that it doesn't entirely work out because the

1174
01:06:55,840 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: states end up coming together. Uh. And I'll tell you what, Well,

1175
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: then they know they're going to the ninth. Ninth Circuit

1176
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: is gonna surprise you. Now, I think the Ninth Circuit

1177
01:07:04,240 --> 01:07:06,200
Speaker 1: is gonna come down a different way. But the Ninth

1178
01:07:06,240 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: Circuit is embarrassed because about over eighty percent of the

1179
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: time they are overturned. They I thought the Ninth Circuit

1180
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 1: was right the first time around. I think it's hard

1181
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 1: to make the case this time around. What do you think, Jonathan?

1182
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:19,360
Speaker 1: I think Chuck Schumer when he talks it's like this,

1183
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:23,160
Speaker 1: that's not Chuck Schumer at all that that is not

1184
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 1: a good Chuck Schumor. It's a little bit off. He

1185
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:29,040
Speaker 1: has a little more rasping his voice. But I'm really

1186
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm really worried now because I'm afraid that Muslim I

1187
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: called fundamentalist, everybody else calls him extremists, are going to

1188
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:40,160
Speaker 1: attack us now because um uh somebody is well. First

1189
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 1: of all, he misquoted what what the Statue of Liberty says.

1190
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 1: But I don't think that. Uh, I don't think you

1191
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: have to worry. Yeah, right, you know what. Listen, I

1192
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: know we're joking about this, but this is the perfect

1193
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 1: example of why we're in the mess that we're in

1194
01:07:57,040 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 1: in this country because we of these political game. He's

1195
01:08:00,840 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: talking about Trump as though he's been in office for

1196
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,400
Speaker 1: years and years. He's been in office three months. He

1197
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,400
Speaker 1: hasn't done There's nothing that has been able to be

1198
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: done where we see lasting effects. So I don't know

1199
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 1: what this guy's talking to do this, but I'm gonna

1200
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:17,040
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. Look I have I have

1201
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: seen I have seen the memo that got leaked with

1202
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: respect to what Trump's plans are with renegotiating on NAFTA

1203
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,720
Speaker 1: and I will tell you, I was a little surprised

1204
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:28,600
Speaker 1: that it was as soft as as it was, and

1205
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: we'll see if that holds up. But no, I mean,

1206
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,200
Speaker 1: after three months, I'm not sure you can say that

1207
01:08:34,240 --> 01:08:36,200
Speaker 1: he's done nothing on trade because I don't think you

1208
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:39,479
Speaker 1: could expect him to do something yet on trade. There's

1209
01:08:39,479 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 1: been no negotiation to take place. So yeah, I've you know,

1210
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:45,040
Speaker 1: I I actually when I heard that, I wonder, why

1211
01:08:45,200 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 1: is Senator Schumer stretching to that degree. There's enough if

1212
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:50,599
Speaker 1: he wants to go after the president, there's lots there

1213
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: he can pick on. Uh, it's a little premature to

1214
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: do it on trade. But I'll tell you what I

1215
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,880
Speaker 1: think you I think, Sean, you're gonna be disappointed when

1216
01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 1: you see what he has in mind. I'm not his

1217
01:09:01,720 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: anti trade, so I was not particularly disappointed with what

1218
01:09:04,680 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: he has in mind. You guys, I know a stronger

1219
01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,800
Speaker 1: point of view on that. The other way. I think.

1220
01:09:08,880 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's gonna be a negotiation tactic,

1221
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 1: and I think these these countries that don't practice fair

1222
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: trade with US are are gonna get one or two

1223
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: of them will get slapped in the head, and then

1224
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:22,679
Speaker 1: everybody and then everybody else will fall in line because

1225
01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 1: they need this work with the United States. That's all right.

1226
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 1: So we have the the read option, and for the

1227
01:09:29,680 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 1: first time in a couple of hundred years, we've got

1228
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:35,040
Speaker 1: a partisan filibuster where Democrats won't allow an up or

1229
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:40,040
Speaker 1: down vote. And you have two former majority leaders in

1230
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:44,120
Speaker 1: the Senate, Bob Dole from Kansas and Trent Lout from Mississippi,

1231
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: saying it's time to let it go. And the rules

1232
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:48,840
Speaker 1: have changed because the Senate has changed, and the Senate

1233
01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: has become a bittest bitter partisan become the House pretty much. Yeah,

1234
01:09:54,360 --> 01:09:56,960
Speaker 1: I mean, actually, but here's the thing. Republicans are stupid.

1235
01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 1: Republicans played by different rules. If it's a Lana Kagain,

1236
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: we know a left winger. Right, if it's Ruth bad Againsburg,

1237
01:10:02,280 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: we know a left winger. Sonya Soda, we know a

1238
01:10:04,800 --> 01:10:08,839
Speaker 1: left winger. Republicans they go along, they allow the vote. Okay,

1239
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 1: they don't have they play along, and there's no reciprocity here.

1240
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,679
Speaker 1: You can't tell me there's one thing wrong with Neil

1241
01:10:15,720 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: Gorsuch's background credentials to sit on the Supreme Court. No,

1242
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,960
Speaker 1: not not. I mean, I may disagree with some of

1243
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 1: his rulings. That's not you know what, when you elect

1244
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: the president, that's the Republican you know what you're gonna get.

1245
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: You're going to get a conservative Supreme Court. Just whether

1246
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 1: you like it or not. The time to fight that

1247
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,439
Speaker 1: battle is not now. The time, to a thought, that

1248
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:39,280
Speaker 1: battle was before the election. So I think for the Republicans,

1249
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: the best thing is what they're doing. They're they're using

1250
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the constitutional option. I get rid of culture on every vote.

1251
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 1: I think you'd be disappointed if you did. I think

1252
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 1: it's a shame when the House was sentate and it

1253
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 1: now means something. I thought it was a shame when

1254
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Harry redid it. I was against that because to me,

1255
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and I mean, I understood his reasoning, just like I

1256
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,760
Speaker 1: understand McConnell's reasoning now. But you take those kinds of

1257
01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:05,599
Speaker 1: issues to the people, you don't destroy the one thing

1258
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: that makes the Senate a more deliberative body than the

1259
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:12,719
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. If this, if this continues, it happened today,

1260
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: it is what it is. If they continue down this

1261
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 1: road and they do away with the legislative filibuster, well

1262
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:22,880
Speaker 1: what what an awful, awful shame. I just think you know,

1263
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:26,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go a little philosophical here, and that we

1264
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 1: have no individual thinkers in politics anymore. You have the Senate,

1265
01:11:31,200 --> 01:11:34,840
Speaker 1: you have the House representatives, you have the Presidency, the

1266
01:11:34,880 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 1: Supreme Court, and the only way that they make decisions

1267
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: is based on party lines. I mean, there's no individual

1268
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,840
Speaker 1: thinkers in the Republican Party that say what you just said, Sean,

1269
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:46,800
Speaker 1: that say hey, listen, we gotta stand up and we

1270
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 1: gotta go forward on this. There. You don't see with

1271
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:53,799
Speaker 1: the what's going on with this this spygate stuff, the

1272
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:58,480
Speaker 1: Republicans should be going nuts about this brand new congressman

1273
01:11:58,800 --> 01:12:02,799
Speaker 1: that just stepped in to this field of a career,

1274
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 1: should be going ballistic saying I will not work under

1275
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:07,880
Speaker 1: an environment where we may be spied on it. Because

1276
01:12:07,920 --> 01:12:10,559
Speaker 1: you're not. You're not hearing that from anybody. And that's

1277
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 1: because we don't yet know, I mean, but it's because

1278
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 1: their allegiance is to two political private organizations and not

1279
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: to the American people, and not to this this whole thing,

1280
01:12:21,240 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 1: this whole thing that's happening today, the nuclear option. What

1281
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Speaker 1: I find so astounding. You don't have to be a

1282
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: political science genius to know that this is not a

1283
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: good strategy on the part of the Democrats. I've been

1284
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 1: squawking about this on my show for weeks. This is

1285
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,840
Speaker 1: not an intelligent strategy. You know what, There is what

1286
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,960
Speaker 1: at least a seventy five or twenty five percent chance

1287
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: that we're going to get to the last year of

1288
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:48,320
Speaker 1: this president's term, and that's gonna be when he needs

1289
01:12:48,360 --> 01:12:50,760
Speaker 1: to pick a justice. Right. I would have loved to

1290
01:12:50,840 --> 01:12:53,640
Speaker 1: have heard the Republicans explain why it's okay to do

1291
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: it in that year when it wasn't okay when it

1292
01:12:56,439 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: was another president. Now, because you chose to fight over

1293
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 1: a nominee who is getting approved, it was always clear

1294
01:13:04,680 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: he's going on the Supreme Court. All they're doing is

1295
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:12,759
Speaker 1: playing to the base. They aren't doing their job. Aren't

1296
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:17,120
Speaker 1: you worried at the admission of unmasking the contradiction of

1297
01:13:17,120 --> 01:13:24,679
Speaker 1: of of of what's her name? Farcas no Price? Still,

1298
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:26,600
Speaker 1: by the way, did you did you ever get a

1299
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:29,599
Speaker 1: lawyer up? I'm not going to answer the question, did

1300
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 1: you ever get it? To? Come on? Did you? I

1301
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,880
Speaker 1: mean her talking? I mean I'm trying. Did she know

1302
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:39,439
Speaker 1: that I was actually trying to help her? Like she's

1303
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna she's in trouble, dude, She's in big trouble. She

1304
01:13:43,400 --> 01:13:46,920
Speaker 1: is being very capably represented. You got Susan Rice out there,

1305
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: and she's out there. You know. Now we've learned from

1306
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,360
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter today that in fact, they're they're looking into

1307
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: the personal lives of people. There has nothing to do

1308
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 1: with except you, guys. Are you're getting as ahead of

1309
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: the story as the other side. Let me tell you

1310
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 1: why you are. You know, as far as anything that

1311
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:05,840
Speaker 1: we know, it is entirely possible that there's nothing to

1312
01:14:05,880 --> 01:14:12,640
Speaker 1: the Susan Right story and there's nothing illegal. It's illegal

1313
01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:15,760
Speaker 1: when you leak it if she leaks something, but she's

1314
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: General Flynn. But it's also illegal if you are read

1315
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 1: into a program and then you take that information and

1316
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 1: then you give it to somebody else in the government. Yeah,

1317
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: that we don't know that she did. Why did Why

1318
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 1: did Farcas need to know this? See? I don't think

1319
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:38,240
Speaker 1: she had an idea. Well, hold on a second, you say,

1320
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 1: I'm talking about Rice, but here, Well, you can't talk

1321
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 1: about Rice without talking about her and everybody else because

1322
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 1: the information that Rice unmasked is the same information that

1323
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 1: Farcas is talking about. So in that case, it got disseminated.

1324
01:14:54,479 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're making you're making a very big

1325
01:14:58,479 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 1: leap there that there's no You may get there at

1326
01:15:01,200 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: some point, but we're not there yet. We went from

1327
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:12,879
Speaker 1: two weeks ago, does she's no, I know nothing? Remember sorry, remember,

1328
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:16,080
Speaker 1: And then then we got to oh yeah, surveillance took place.

1329
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I did a masking of Trump. And now,

1330
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,680
Speaker 1: by the way, Sarah Carter has gotten everything right to

1331
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 1: this point. Now she's saying they're going after the personal

1332
01:15:23,960 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: lives of individuals, which means and proves it was weaponizing

1333
01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. Sean Hannity here from my friends and Financing. Hey,

Speaker 1: to our friends, our colleagues on the Capitol on Capitol Hill, Well,

1368
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 1: any evidence to prove that yet. And I haven't seen

1369
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: any evidence to prove that Susan Rice did anything wrong.

1370
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 1: When I see evidence on either both or none. What about? What?

1371
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 1: What about what she's admitting to and how she contradicted

1372
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 1: what she said two weeks ago because she didn't. You know,

1373
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:36,559
Speaker 1: that's not fair. What she said two weeks ago was

1374
01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 1: not in response to the stay. At the beginning of

1375
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:42,160
Speaker 1: her two weeks ago, when she says she knows nothing

1376
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 1: of this, I was surprised to see reports from Chairman

1377
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: un I know nothing about this. That's not very useful

1378
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: without the question that she's answering, all right, but she's

1379
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: talking about the very specific issue the way if I

1380
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: sit here and I go. But then she goes on

1381
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,680
Speaker 1: to and be saying she admits she knew everything about it.

1382
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: But she didn't say she knew nothing to this stuff.

1383
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: The very thing she says she knew nothing about, you know,

1384
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,360
Speaker 1: the question, let's look in the context of how and

1385
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,920
Speaker 1: I hate to say these initials, but CNN has covered this,

1386
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: and like John Lemmon for instance, if you know, sometimes

1387
01:18:14,439 --> 01:18:16,280
Speaker 1: when the cops roll up on a scene and there's

1388
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: a dead body there, um, there's no evidence, and so

1389
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:21,799
Speaker 1: they have to do an investigation. They don't just assume

1390
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,000
Speaker 1: that nothing has happened here and that the person just

1391
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:28,920
Speaker 1: died in well, according to the mainstream media and a

1392
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,439
Speaker 1: lot of these people on the left, we should just

1393
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 1: let this go. There's no evidence. That's why. That's why

1394
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 1: when you say the things that you say, you have

1395
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: to be very careful with that, because there is more

1396
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: circumstantial evidence here. When we look at Farcas, when we

1397
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: look at Susan Rice, you do see that they were

1398
01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: moving around information that was unmasked by Wait, let's let's

1399
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: just said a few things straight there. Number one, I'm

1400
01:18:54,439 --> 01:18:57,000
Speaker 1: not seeing that. I'm telling you what I see. I

1401
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,240
Speaker 1: have always been mistrustful of circumstantial evidence, and I've apply

1402
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: the same to Mr Trump's situation. Right, show me evidence,

1403
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 1: I have no objection whatsoever to an investigation, none whatsoever.

1404
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: You got a question, it should be investigated. And if

1405
01:19:11,200 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: the investigation terms turns up evidence that she or anybody

1406
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:17,920
Speaker 1: in the in the previous administration did anything wrong, go

1407
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 1: get him. The problem is the problem is the people

1408
01:19:20,880 --> 01:19:23,599
Speaker 1: who are going to be doing the investigations. One don't

1409
01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 1: want to. It's half of them are establishment from the

1410
01:19:25,880 --> 01:19:28,280
Speaker 1: GOP and they don't like Trump. The other half of

1411
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 1: Democrats who hate Trump. So the see this is why

1412
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 1: we need outside responsible for that, and I'm all for

1413
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 1: an independent investigation. That's why I think. I think James Comy,

1414
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 1: it's the Republicans that won't let that happen. I think

1415
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: James Comen should be fired, and I think, a how

1416
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: do you? How do you fire him? Ask him to resign?

1417
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:49,960
Speaker 1: You if you ask me to resign, But you also

1418
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,800
Speaker 1: can look and see if he's done malpractice of his job,

1419
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: and then you can you can ask you see listen,

1420
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:56,760
Speaker 1: I My take is very clear, and I think the

1421
01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 1: what we see on folding before our eyes is gonna

1422
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: be much deeper than Watergate ever was. And that is

1423
01:20:03,439 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 1: we are now weaponized and politicized intelligence gathering in the country.

1424
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 1: That is the beginning of a police state. As a liberal,

1425
01:20:10,400 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 1: you should be on my side about this. I'm on

1426
01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: your side once I know that it happened, but I

1427
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:17,880
Speaker 1: just you're presuming it happened, and I'm not making I am.

1428
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm citing Fox News as report from yesterday that says

1429
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:24,840
Speaker 1: they literally look Peter King said, this information is about

1430
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: people's everyday live I gotta let you both go by

1431
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 1: the way. I love having you both in the studio.

1432
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: Good to see you both. Thanks for being quick break

1433
01:20:32,200 --> 01:20:35,600
Speaker 1: great path will continue alright now till the top of

1434
01:20:35,600 --> 01:20:36,960
Speaker 1: the hour. We'll get to your calls here in just

1435
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:38,599
Speaker 1: a minute. I want to update you on the story.

1436
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:43,320
Speaker 1: Remember this fourteen year old girl forced into a bathroom stall,

1437
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:47,919
Speaker 1: repeatedly and brutally raped in Rockville High School in Maryland

1438
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: by two illegal alien teenagers and those accused, one of

1439
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:55,200
Speaker 1: which out depending deportation order. We're seventeen, eighteen years old,

1440
01:20:55,280 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 1: but under the district sanctuary policy they were placed in

1441
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:03,080
Speaker 1: ninth grade. And a detailed and gruesome account of this

1442
01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:06,280
Speaker 1: rape we have talked about in detail, and this local

1443
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: national outrage about this is a group called that has

1444
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: put a petition together called Stand United calling for the

1445
01:21:13,880 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: superintendent Jack Smith to reverse the sanctuary policies there. And

1446
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:19,720
Speaker 1: I wanted to get an update on this and the

1447
01:21:19,760 --> 01:21:24,320
Speaker 1: senior campaign organizer for Stand United as Angela Morbidos with

1448
01:21:24,400 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: US Angela. How are you well, well, explain to me obviously,

1449
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,959
Speaker 1: did you see that the lawyers for these two illegal

1450
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: immigrants are claiming that this was consensual sex with the

1451
01:21:35,080 --> 01:21:38,160
Speaker 1: fourteen year old girl? Uh? What are the laws in

1452
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,800
Speaker 1: Maryland as it relates to statutory rape? What are the

1453
01:21:40,840 --> 01:21:44,240
Speaker 1: age consent laws? Well, you know, I'm definitely not an

1454
01:21:44,280 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: expert on those, but I can tell you that you know,

1455
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,639
Speaker 1: there is no none of that supposed to be happening

1456
01:21:49,680 --> 01:21:53,280
Speaker 1: inside a school, let alone during school hours where you

1457
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:56,240
Speaker 1: have two people who are perpetrating this, who dragged her

1458
01:21:56,280 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: into a bathroom stall their seventeen and eighteen, she's four. Team,

1459
01:22:00,520 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 1: there are so many layers here of how this is illegal. Okay,

1460
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:06,800
Speaker 1: So now, what what is your petition calling for that

1461
01:22:06,840 --> 01:22:10,240
Speaker 1: they stopped being a sanctuary city or so our pitt

1462
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,479
Speaker 1: doesn't ask to the school superintendent to come up with

1463
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 1: a policy that at least looks into the background of

1464
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:20,759
Speaker 1: new students who are enrolling in schools. Montgomery County Public

1465
01:22:20,800 --> 01:22:24,120
Speaker 1: Schools right now has a policy where anyone can show

1466
01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:27,759
Speaker 1: up and be allowed into their public schools, no questions

1467
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: asked about their background. In fact that by these two

1468
01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:35,200
Speaker 1: suspects were considered freshman, they had come across the border

1469
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:39,479
Speaker 1: in twenty six they had no educational records, and instead

1470
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:42,559
Speaker 1: of asking why not, the school just said, Okay, great,

1471
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:47,160
Speaker 1: I guess your freshman. That's pretty unbelievable to me that,

1472
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, I just I don't understand the thinking in

1473
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 1: the mindset that you know. You know, this is one

1474
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: of my biggest arguments that's been Nobody realizes that we're

1475
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: spending billions and billions and billions of dollars a year

1476
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 1: on education, on healthcare, the criminal justice system, and that

1477
01:23:05,080 --> 01:23:08,600
Speaker 1: is that is not even the most devastating impact of

1478
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,840
Speaker 1: illegal immigration. Then you have people that are competing for

1479
01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: jobs at lower wages, so that puts Americans out of work.

1480
01:23:14,479 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: Then you've got those people that can make crimes. I've

1481
01:23:16,640 --> 01:23:19,600
Speaker 1: given the statistics when I sat through a a a

1482
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: briefing down, a security briefing down in Texas with then

1483
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:28,360
Speaker 1: Governor Rick Perry. Six crimes, including murders and rapes against

1484
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,720
Speaker 1: Texans just in a seven year period of time. I

1485
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,559
Speaker 1: was stunned and shocked. And you know, here we have

1486
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 1: an incident where you have people in the country illegally,

1487
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:40,040
Speaker 1: and you have a sanctuary city policy, and then you

1488
01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 1: have the eighteen and seventeen year old kids in with

1489
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen year old kids in school and a rape happens,

1490
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:49,200
Speaker 1: and then they claim it's consensual. It just doesn't make

1491
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,719
Speaker 1: any sense to me. This whole story is just so

1492
01:23:52,760 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 1: sad and so tragic that now you have a fourteen

1493
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:59,560
Speaker 1: year old girl whose life has been changed forever because nobody,

1494
01:23:59,680 --> 01:24:02,640
Speaker 1: none of the adults who were supposed to be educating

1495
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: her and at least keeping her safe while she's in

1496
01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,200
Speaker 1: school every day, because none of them thought to ask

1497
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: questions of men who well one of the men was

1498
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,040
Speaker 1: an adult, the other one is seventeen, so just shy

1499
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:17,640
Speaker 1: at the age of majority. No one asked them any questions.

1500
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,719
Speaker 1: And when you think about how something like this happens

1501
01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 1: and the bureaucracy in place failed this goal at every level, unbelievable.

1502
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:27,920
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for the update. And if

1503
01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:29,800
Speaker 1: people want to sign your petition, where do they go

1504
01:24:29,840 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: to it. You can check us out at stand united

Speaker 1: go to the school superintendent and we're looking forward to

1508
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 1: getting a policy in place to make sure this never

1509
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 1: happens again. All right, thanks Angela for all you're doing.

1518

Speaker 1: can't remember the gentleman's first name, but last name was Prince. Yeah, Eric, Prince. Listen.

1519
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:23,240
Speaker 1: I've read the stories I've got. I've been very clear

1520
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 1: on Twitter. I have not been able to confirm, although

1521
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:30,640
Speaker 1: I have my sources looking into it, I have not

1522
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,800
Speaker 1: been able to confirm or corroborate that I was surveiled

1523
01:25:33,960 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 1: or unmasked as you know all these stories. I mean

1524
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: I've seen a number of them now all over the place.

1525
01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,640
Speaker 1: I've not been able to independently confirm that, but I

1526
01:25:42,680 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: am making it very clear that if in fact that

1527
01:25:45,880 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: did happen to me, and I consider it such a

1528
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:51,000
Speaker 1: violation because look, there's no way that I was picked

1529
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:56,120
Speaker 1: up in any incidental legal, incidental surveillance, because I don't know.

1530
01:25:56,200 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 1: But this is a thing that concerns me as an

1531
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: am Ankain. We did not sign up for this. We

1532
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 1: did not sign up for a police state. And we've

1533
01:26:06,200 --> 01:26:10,880
Speaker 1: had one liar after another in the Oval officetarted with Clinton.

1534
01:26:11,840 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 1: Then I went to George Bush getting us into Iraq

1535
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: under false pretenses. Then it went to you know, then

1536
01:26:20,720 --> 01:26:25,759
Speaker 1: I went to Obama and it's ridiculous, it's out of hand,

1537
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: and and I was I read this article that, um,

1538
01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: Hillary's plan for you and Barack Obama's plan for you

1539
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: too was that if Hillary one, that they were going

1540
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 1: to try to get you fired from Fox. Where did

1541
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 1: you see that? I did not see that. Um, it

1542
01:26:47,760 --> 01:26:50,440
Speaker 1: was an article. It was on it was on Facebook

1543
01:26:50,479 --> 01:26:54,920
Speaker 1: about how how Obama did not like you because you're

1544
01:26:55,560 --> 01:27:01,360
Speaker 1: you didn't paint him in a flattering light that look,

1545
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: nobody vetted him harder and got to the truth of Look,

1546
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 1: I think I've been proven through the prism of history

1547
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: that I was dead on accurate, even beyond my imagination.

1548
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 1: As it relates to Obama, I know he hated it.

1549
01:27:14,560 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean he mentioned me, you know, a dozen times

1550
01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: and then was told by somebody to stop because I

1551
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,679
Speaker 1: kept using every time he did it as a promo.

1552
01:27:22,560 --> 01:27:26,200
Speaker 1: And so you know, my only answer to him is

1553
01:27:26,200 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: is listen, nothing surprises me. You know, you gotta remember

1554
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: remember the secret police stories that Dick Morris used to

1555
01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,720
Speaker 1: tell about the Clintons, and then you've got the I

1556
01:27:35,920 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 1: R s being used. Now we've got confirmation they've weaponized

1557
01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I mean this blockbuster discovery that they

1558
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,559
Speaker 1: were more interested in getting into the private lives of

1559
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,800
Speaker 1: individuals and any more than anything else. Um, I'm not

1560
01:27:49,880 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: afraid of whatever they might have done to me, but

1561
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,240
Speaker 1: I listen, I I will not stop, and I'm I

1562
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:59,200
Speaker 1: would do this just for the principle that no American

1563
01:27:59,640 --> 01:28:01,519
Speaker 1: and if it happened, if it ever turned out it

1564
01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 1: was me that no American, because of their political point

1565
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:08,880
Speaker 1: of view, should be surveiled and unmasked, and so if it,

1566
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: if I ever get to confirm it, and I have

1567
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,240
Speaker 1: people looking, people that like me within the intelligence community

1568
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 1: are looking into it for me, if my sources ever

1569
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,080
Speaker 1: could be glad because it's ridiculous. And the thing is

1570
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,160
Speaker 1: is I wish that Trump wouldn't have signed signed over.

1571
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 1: Our search histories too, are to be released. You know, listen,

1572
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:32,719
Speaker 1: all of that is the beginning of a police state.

1573
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:35,880
Speaker 1: Everything you're talking about is this? Is it now? If

1574
01:28:35,920 --> 01:28:39,599
Speaker 1: they want to embarrass me, intimidate me, silence me, that's

1575
01:28:39,640 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: not gonna happen. And I'm willing the time. So glad.

1576
01:28:43,120 --> 01:28:45,639
Speaker 1: I love watching your show, and I love how how

1577
01:28:45,680 --> 01:28:48,439
Speaker 1: hard hitting you are towards these Listen, I make a

1578
01:28:48,479 --> 01:28:51,160
Speaker 1: lot of enemies. I'm I'm not surprised, I mean not.

1579
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:55,640
Speaker 1: I have for years assumed that my tax returns are

1580
01:28:55,640 --> 01:28:58,599
Speaker 1: gone over with a fine tooth comb and percentage wise.

1581
01:28:58,800 --> 01:29:02,160
Speaker 1: Even my own accountant says to me, what are you doing?

1582
01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: You know you really should be taking these deductions, um,

1583
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,120
Speaker 1: And I'm My next question is isn't gonna likely trigger

1584
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: an audit? Yes? Okay, leave it in, just don't don't

1585
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: take it because it's not worth it. To me to

1586
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:19,200
Speaker 1: be the target, and even with those protections that I

1587
01:29:19,320 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 1: put in place, I still get attacked by them. I

1588
01:29:22,680 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: stopped dealing with the case right now with the I

1589
01:29:24,560 --> 01:29:28,640
Speaker 1: R S. And it's ridiculous, and it's absolutely ridiculous what

1590
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,800
Speaker 1: they're what they're trying to look at here. But you

1591
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,879
Speaker 1: know that this is my this this goes with the territory.

1592
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: A lot of good things. I get to meet nice

1593
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 1: people like you. I get to talk to great Americans

1594
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 1: like you, and I am not shy about expressing my

1595
01:29:41,439 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 1: political views. I just don't know the answer. I can't

1596
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,640
Speaker 1: give a I don't know, I can't confirm. I have

1597
01:29:46,800 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 1: my sources looking and if I get an answer, I

1598
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:52,000
Speaker 1: promise I will be forthcoming. But I have not been

1599
01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 1: able to confirm it. And I keep reading the same

1600
01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 1: things that you're reading, and I'm not surprised at all

1601
01:29:58,320 --> 01:30:00,800
Speaker 1: to see it to be perfectly blunt. Brian is in

1602
01:30:00,840 --> 01:30:03,200
Speaker 1: New York City the All New A M seven ten

1603
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:06,599
Speaker 1: w R The Talk of New York, New Jersey, Long Island.

1604
01:30:06,640 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 1: How are you, sir, Sean. You're doing a great job.

1605
01:30:10,080 --> 01:30:11,880
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you. I love your show. Thank you

1606
01:30:12,560 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: and Mark Levin are than it's it's great stuff. God

1607
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 1: bless us. My question is, uh, Devin, noone has knew

1608
01:30:20,280 --> 01:30:25,439
Speaker 1: about the unmasking back in January. I understand, Why is

1609
01:30:25,479 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 1: it that James Comby came before Congress and he didn't

1610
01:30:29,920 --> 01:30:35,880
Speaker 1: really suggest that that they were investigating this these intelligence leagues? Now,

1611
01:30:35,960 --> 01:30:38,679
Speaker 1: where is he all this is coming out on Susan Rice.

1612
01:30:38,960 --> 01:30:42,559
Speaker 1: Where is James Comy in this whole charade? Uh, it's

1613
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:45,680
Speaker 1: a really good question. I mean, it bothers me that

1614
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:49,640
Speaker 1: he acknowledges one type of investigation is going on, the

1615
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:54,040
Speaker 1: Russia investigation. When asked about the felony committed with the

1616
01:30:54,040 --> 01:30:57,360
Speaker 1: intelligence leaking, he just has nothing to say about it.

1617
01:30:57,640 --> 01:31:00,000
Speaker 1: And his answer is the standard, Well, we don't talk

1618
01:31:00,080 --> 01:31:03,640
Speaker 1: about potential or ongoing investigations, And why did you just

1619
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 1: five minutes ago start talking about the quote Russia investigation,

1620
01:31:07,439 --> 01:31:09,360
Speaker 1: even though we all know there's no evidence up until

1621
01:31:09,360 --> 01:31:12,720
Speaker 1: this point. So I I fear actually that Comy may

1622
01:31:12,720 --> 01:31:15,639
Speaker 1: have been politicized. Now, I'm I'm I I don't know

1623
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:20,480
Speaker 1: the guy, and the way he's acting is kind of bizarre, unpredictable.

1624
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm not sure. I'm not sure why he's

1625
01:31:24,960 --> 01:31:27,760
Speaker 1: doing the things he's doing, and it's troublesome to me,

1626
01:31:28,200 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: especially in light of the seriousness and what we know

1627
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:35,880
Speaker 1: about surveillance of a presidential candidate, a president elect, his

1628
01:31:35,960 --> 01:31:39,519
Speaker 1: transition team, and now the new discovery that they're looking

1629
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:42,559
Speaker 1: into the personal lives of all these people nothing to

1630
01:31:42,600 --> 01:31:45,960
Speaker 1: do with any real national security investigation. That means we

1631
01:31:46,080 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: have weaponized our intelligence community, and that's a very, very

1632
01:31:50,479 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 1: dangerous position for the United States of America to be in. UM. Anyway, Brian,

1633
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 1: good call, sir, Thank you, appreciate it. Uh. Let's say

1634
01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,960
Speaker 1: hi to Shannon in Florida. Shannon, Hi, how are you?

1635
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,720
Speaker 1: And we're glad you called hi? How are you? Thank

1636
01:32:02,760 --> 01:32:04,960
Speaker 1: you so much. UM. I've been listening to you for

1637
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 1: a while and I'm telling you, Sean, do you have

1638
01:32:08,400 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 1: a real chance. I'm so telling you. You keep screaming

1639
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 1: and telling us and and I believe you, and I

1640
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: want to believe you, but you keep saying how you

1641
01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:20,320
Speaker 1: want to keep everybody accountable and hold everybody and you

1642
01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:24,160
Speaker 1: have a chance. You have to prove you guilty. They

1643
01:32:24,720 --> 01:32:27,559
Speaker 1: you don't have to prove it. Nail them to the wall. Sean,

1644
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,080
Speaker 1: you have a chance. If they're surveilling, you make them

1645
01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,360
Speaker 1: prove that they're not. Well, I listen, I'm going to

1646
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:40,679
Speaker 1: be very judicious, very cautious, but also very thorough being cautious. Well,

1647
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:43,280
Speaker 1: but the thing is you But I well, because I

1648
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:46,240
Speaker 1: believe in the rule of law. I mean, in other words,

1649
01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:49,240
Speaker 1: just because just because I read something doesn't mean I

1650
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: necessarily believe it. Now, somebody somewhere in the intelligence community, clearly,

1651
01:32:55,360 --> 01:32:58,040
Speaker 1: in my opinion, leaked that this happened. That's my take

1652
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 1: on it. But I've not been able to independ le, corroborate,

1653
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: or confirm this. So I'm all I'm doing is due diligence.

1654
01:33:05,680 --> 01:33:09,880
Speaker 1: I'm using every insider source I have trying to get

1655
01:33:10,040 --> 01:33:13,879
Speaker 1: to the answer, and as of now, I can't confirm

1656
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,200
Speaker 1: or corroborate anything at all has happened that is inappropriate.

1657
01:33:17,240 --> 01:33:19,559
Speaker 1: I can't confirm I've been surveilled. I can't confirm I've

1658
01:33:19,600 --> 01:33:22,759
Speaker 1: been unmasked. I don't know, um Am, I worried about

1659
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Look, I really appreciate a lot

1660
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,160
Speaker 1: of people are writing me worried for me because they

1661
01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,599
Speaker 1: see it as such an invasion of privacy. Yeah, I mean,

1662
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm I'm I'm telling all my friends I'm

1663
01:33:31,920 --> 01:33:35,320
Speaker 1: not worried. I don't care. You know, there's nothing they

1664
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:37,679
Speaker 1: can do to hurt me, and then there's not. Look

1665
01:33:37,760 --> 01:33:40,360
Speaker 1: at you. You will discover that I curse a lot

1666
01:33:40,400 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 1: more than you think I do. Oh no, I believe you.

1667
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:46,000
Speaker 1: But here, think about this. You have a team. They

1668
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 1: make phone calls for you all the time. I know

1669
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 1: they do because you're a very busy person. So how

1670
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:53,599
Speaker 1: do you know your team wasn't surveilled. It's not fair

1671
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:57,600
Speaker 1: to them that you aren't taking up the staff and saying, okay,

1672
01:33:57,800 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 1: if you're going to do this to me, if somebody leaked,

1673
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 1: by the way, if they ever surveilled Linda, I mean

1674
01:34:03,360 --> 01:34:05,720
Speaker 1: it would be it would be. Every word would have

1675
01:34:05,760 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 1: to be bleeped. It would never get to begin every

1676
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 1: phone call with Hello, the N S A, and then

1677
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:12,040
Speaker 1: I continue and then you continue. By the way, I

1678
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: do that a lot too. I've been doing it for years.

1679
01:34:14,400 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 1: But that's okay. You got to think about what you've

1680
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:20,599
Speaker 1: I'm challenging you to put your money where your mouth is.

1681
01:34:20,840 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 1: You want to hold them accountable. Listen, I I can

1682
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:27,200
Speaker 1: promise you this if I ever do confirm and I

1683
01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:29,479
Speaker 1: don't know where this is going. I really and and

1684
01:34:29,560 --> 01:34:31,800
Speaker 1: to be honest, I'm so focused on my job. It's

1685
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,559
Speaker 1: not been top of mind for me. I'm very honest here.

1686
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:37,880
Speaker 1: I've got friends. I've got friends, some of the you

1687
01:34:37,920 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 1: know them, Joe de Jenneva, Uh, Jay Seculo, I have.

1688
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:44,880
Speaker 1: These guys have already agreed to represent me because that

1689
01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:47,439
Speaker 1: would be cause for civil action, and that means I'd

1690
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:51,599
Speaker 1: be able to depose every single person involved in any

1691
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,000
Speaker 1: surveillance of me or any unmasking of me. And by

1692
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 1: the way, I promised one thing if it happened, if

1693
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 1: it turns out it's true, I will not stop. Every

1694
01:35:01,520 --> 01:35:03,880
Speaker 1: one of them will be deposed under oath, and I

1695
01:35:03,920 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: will I will chase this down to the to the

1696
01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:09,479
Speaker 1: I'll squeeze every bit of truth I could get out

1697
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:10,080
Speaker 1: of these people.
