Speaker 1: in the swamp the sewer known as our nation's capital, Washington, DC.
Speaker 1: Glad you are with us. Although our number remains the same,
Speaker 1: it's eight hundred and ninety four one. Sean. If you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. All right,
Speaker 1: we got a lot happening. A total mess is now
Speaker 1: developed in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now look, if you
Speaker 1: look at the line of secession, it's the governor. Well,
Speaker 1: then the lieutenant governor. Now the governor's the one that said, well,
Speaker 1: we'll deliver the baby, and then the baby. You know,
Speaker 1: we'll make the baby comfortable, and then the mother can
Speaker 1: decide whether the baby baby lives or dies if it's
Speaker 1: struggling and needs resuscitation, and then we'll all have a meeting.
Speaker 1: And then after that, it was on his medical school
Speaker 1: I guess yearbook that a picture of a clan member
Speaker 1: and somebody dressed in black face. And he said, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I apologize. Wait a minute, then he says, the next
Speaker 1: day it wasn't me in the picture, but I still
Speaker 1: dressed in black face. And then that's when he said
Speaker 1: he was trying to be Michael Jackson and could do moonwalking,
Speaker 1: which he was about to do, which shows the man
Speaker 1: is so clueless and out of touch at the press conference,
Speaker 1: well until his wife stepped in, this may not be
Speaker 1: the appropriate moment. You dope. She didn't add dope, I'll
Speaker 1: out that part. Then we find out the lieutenant governor
Speaker 1: of the Commonwealth of Virginia in this case, God by
Speaker 1: the name of Fairfax, well, now he's under trouble and
Speaker 1: serious allegations of sexual misconduct in terms of he's literally
Speaker 1: being charged with sexually assaulting and forcing a violent sex
Speaker 1: act from a woman in two thousand and four the
Speaker 1: Democratic Convention. It's things have now just gotten worse for
Speaker 1: him as the woman has hired the attorney for Professor Ford.
Speaker 1: If you remember in the Kavanaugh case number one and
Speaker 1: number two, another woman has stepped forward and said, yeah,
Speaker 1: she told me all the details of everything that had
Speaker 1: happened at the time. And now justin Fairfax also, according
Speaker 1: to the Washington Examiner, NBC News and other sources, had
Speaker 1: a meeting with his staff saying f that b So
Speaker 1: the person that was supposed to replace the governor is
Speaker 1: now under serious scrutiny himself and a serious investigation is
Speaker 1: going to be interesting to watch the Democratic Party. All
Speaker 1: the believers. I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe,
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe. I'm pulling
Speaker 1: in love. Remember that song It's too late to turn
Speaker 1: back now. Okay, So but in this case, you know,
Speaker 1: where are they I believe people? Because is that, Oh
Speaker 1: they only believe a woman that is accusing a Republican
Speaker 1: or a conservative or somebody they politically disagreed with. So
Speaker 1: they're using the serious topic. And remember what I was
Speaker 1: saying at the time with Justice Cavanaugh, I had rare
Speaker 1: praise for the Republican Party as a whole, because I'm
Speaker 1: not a rigister Republican. And my praise was, Oh, they're
Speaker 1: actually handling this with the proper amount of seriousness, the
Speaker 1: gravity of the issue, and the sensitivity that such an
Speaker 1: issue would would require. And they did it right, and
Speaker 1: they opened up the investigation. Professor Ford had her opportunity
Speaker 1: to speak all these other wild accusations, many now that
Speaker 1: had been debunked, you know, like for example, as Avanadi's
Speaker 1: client claiming that almost on a weekly basis that teenage
Speaker 1: girls were getting drugged and they were spiking the punch
Speaker 1: and the girls would pass out and they'd be in
Speaker 1: a bedroom and the boys would line up in the
Speaker 1: hall and one by one they'd go in and gang
Speaker 1: rape these young teenage girls. These teenage boys would drug
Speaker 1: the girls almost on a weekend basis. Then her story
Speaker 1: started to change. Sweat Nick was her name, And then
Speaker 1: then it became well, I didn't see him at he
Speaker 1: was near the punch bowl and I saw him holding
Speaker 1: a red Solo cup. No, he wasn't in line in
Speaker 1: the hall, but I remember him being in a hall. Okay,
Speaker 1: nobody else corroborated that story, and if that had happened,
Speaker 1: I have a very very hard time that something as
Speaker 1: evil and severe as that was happening on a weekly basis,
Speaker 1: or near leakweek basis, and nobody told the teacher, their
Speaker 1: mom and dad, the police, an adult of some kind.
Speaker 1: So and then, kind of interestingly, then Abanadi himself got
Speaker 1: accused of some type of altercation with a woman. And
Speaker 1: I remember going on there saying, I'm not going to
Speaker 1: rush to judgment. Even though I have political differences with Michael.
Speaker 1: Abanati has a right to do anything and say anything
Speaker 1: he wants. I don't care what he says, but he
Speaker 1: had a right that we to do process and the
Speaker 1: presumption of innocence. That's which he and the Democrats never ever, ever,
Speaker 1: you know, gave Judge Kavanaugh. Well, by the way it
Speaker 1: turned out to be a different result in the Avonati case,
Speaker 1: and as much as he was exonerated by three separate
Speaker 1: departments that investigated. So that's why you don't rush to judgment.
Speaker 1: That's why you withhold judgment. You wait for the facts
Speaker 1: to come in. Look at what happened with these Covington kids,
Speaker 1: you know, this one kid in particular, I mean, just
Speaker 1: an absolute disgrace. You know, when the media they just
Speaker 1: wanted to run with that story without any really seriously
Speaker 1: about any you know, support whatsoever. They never even asked
Speaker 1: the kid what it actually happened. They never said, okay,
Speaker 1: we want your side as a story what went on there?
Speaker 1: And then finally more video starts coming out out and
Speaker 1: everything that had been said at the time about this
Speaker 1: kid that he had approached Nathan Phillips, the Native American
Speaker 1: who was bagging on the drum and he said praying,
Speaker 1: none of that turned out to be true, and in fact,
Speaker 1: the person that became the victim in that case was
Speaker 1: the kid that was you know, the only thing he
Speaker 1: did wrong, I guess was where a Make America Great
Speaker 1: hat again? And all these news organizations, all these Hollywood celebrities,
Speaker 1: all these democrats that rushed the judgment, You better get
Speaker 1: ready because there's a guy. I want you to remember
Speaker 1: his name because you're going to get to know him intimately.
Speaker 1: And his name is Lynn Wood. And on this particular issue,
Speaker 1: there is no better attorney in the country than Lynn
Speaker 1: would as it relates to libel and those types of
Speaker 1: laws because he represented back in the day where he
Speaker 1: represented when I first got to know him, Richard Jewel,
Speaker 1: and every one of those organizations that said Richard Jewel
Speaker 1: fits the profile of the lone bomber because he lives
Speaker 1: with his mother. Well, I'm sure a lot of the
Speaker 1: settlements were non disclosure. They all paid a fortune for
Speaker 1: what they did. Their mob mentality. We see the mob
Speaker 1: mentality all the time. I can't believe the media's reaction
Speaker 1: even last night. What made the president's speech last night.
Speaker 1: And by the way, we'll get back to the Virginia
Speaker 1: issue as it unfolds, because Now the ag of Virginia
Speaker 1: is also admitting that he used blackface. So if the
Speaker 1: governor were to leave, the person that would replace him
Speaker 1: as under serious investigation for violent sexual assault. If if
Speaker 1: he can't replace the governor, then it would be the
Speaker 1: Attorney General, who also earlier today admitted, Oh yeah, I
Speaker 1: use black face too. I'm guilty. You know, the Attorney
Speaker 1: General of Virginia at a college day party. Now, I
Speaker 1: guess the person that would be next to the the line
Speaker 1: would be the Speaker of the House. There by the
Speaker 1: way back to the coving and kids and Lynn, would
Speaker 1: you know he I got a note from Lynn that
Speaker 1: he gave exclusively to us, saying, my duty. Our attorney's
Speaker 1: duties is to their client. They don't begin inside the courtroom.
Speaker 1: My co counsel to Todd mcmurdy and I fully intend
Speaker 1: to aggressively advocate for Nick, not only in the courts
Speaker 1: of law across the country, but also in the court
Speaker 1: of public opinion. This is what he said about that incident.
Speaker 1: An agenda driven mob trampled on Nick's reputation and permanently
Speaker 1: damaged him. Now Nick has no choice but to fight
Speaker 1: back against the lies and the threats his weapon of
Speaker 1: choice is the truth. The video. This video is the
Speaker 1: first step is it destroys the mob's false narrative against
Speaker 1: this young man? And then he goes bullet point after
Speaker 1: bullet point, Nick did not approach Nathan Phillips. He was
Speaker 1: confronted by Phillips, who picked Nick as his target. Nick
Speaker 1: did not block Philip's path. Phillips made no attempt to
Speaker 1: go around or avoid Nick. Nick did not verbally assault, taunt, mock, harass, disparage,
Speaker 1: or threatened Phillips in any way. Nick remained calm and
Speaker 1: well mannered. Despite phillips loud chanting and drumbeating inches from
Speaker 1: his face. Nick didn't utter a single word. Nick's only
Speaker 1: act was to quietly urge a classmate to refrain from
Speaker 1: any comments that might aggravate the situation created by Phillips
Speaker 1: and that group that started at all, the black Hebrew Israelites.
Speaker 1: Phillips did not proceed to the Lincoln Memorial after Nick
Speaker 1: left to catch his bus. Phillips turned walked away, celebrating
Speaker 1: his wind with fellow activists. And then they have the video.
Speaker 1: The media, they're gonna get crushed here, all right, So
Speaker 1: last night State of the Union, what made last night.
Speaker 1: If you're a conservative, what made it so powerful? Well,
Speaker 1: the answer is simple, you have a president. And I
Speaker 1: look and I understood. Some of you in twenty sixteen
Speaker 1: were asking me and I said, repeatedly, I've known this
Speaker 1: man for decades. He's going to govern conservatively. Well, he
Speaker 1: donated a Hillary and he was once pro choice. He's
Speaker 1: just gonna go back to being pro choice. He's only
Speaker 1: saying that to get elected. Does He doesn't mean this
Speaker 1: on judges And I'm like, you don't know this guy.
Speaker 1: The one thing I can tell you about Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: he is this guy works twenty four hours a day.
Speaker 1: I mean, it was kind of a joke. Oh, they
Speaker 1: leaked his schedule and he has like five hours built
Speaker 1: in every day of executive time they call it. Let
Speaker 1: me tell you what executive time is. He's working the
Speaker 1: phones the entire time. Here. Oh, let me talk to
Speaker 1: the CEO of this company. Let me talk to the
Speaker 1: CEO of this pharmaceutical company. Let me talk to the
Speaker 1: insurance companies. Let me talk to so and so and
Speaker 1: get their idea on this. Let me that's how that's
Speaker 1: all he does. And I seen it in action for years.
Speaker 1: He doesn't stop he's unrelenting, and you know, look a
Speaker 1: look at the promises he kept. You know, largest tax
Speaker 1: cut in history, two originalist justices to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: You know, now, as a result of ending burdensome regulation
Speaker 1: and the largest tax cut in history, we now have
Speaker 1: an economic boom that has been launched, creating one record
Speaker 1: after another, especially helping the people that have been disproportionately
Speaker 1: left behind in the Obama years. You know, think about this,
Speaker 1: five point three million jobs created since he's elected, six
Speaker 1: hundred thousand manufacturing jobs. Those were the jobs Obama said
Speaker 1: we're never coming back. You know. Then you break it
Speaker 1: down demographically in the Obama years, disproportionately negatively impacted was
Speaker 1: the African American community, the Hispanic community. They're now experiencing
Speaker 1: record low unemployment. We now have more jobs, a million
Speaker 1: plus more jobs than we have people on unemployment. That's
Speaker 1: how good it is right now. And once the Dakota
Speaker 1: and Kistow pipelines come online and we get to building
Speaker 1: the locations in anwar Alaska, you know it is going
Speaker 1: to be even bigger. All right, we'll get into all
Speaker 1: this when we get back. Talk about the Democrats, and
Speaker 1: they're pretty pathetic reaction. Apparently, Speaker Pelosi was supposed to
Speaker 1: introduce the president. Whoopsie, Daisy, we missed that part. Listen
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, guys, it's here. I've got a gift that
Speaker 1: will dazzle every Valentine in your life this year. And

Speaker 1: Jamil Hill worked for ESPN, right, that's right. She was
Speaker 1: with ESPN and she got fired for some reason. I
Speaker 1: remember her name. I don't remember what the controversy was.
Speaker 1: He wrote some not cool things. Okay, what did she write?
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and find them one on one,
Speaker 1: miss quoter. But I hear it's pretty incendiary and threatening.
Speaker 1: Is that true? Yeah? I mean last night she wrote
Speaker 1: it's some other things which you have in front of you.
Speaker 1: Oh boy, all right, we'll get to that in a minute. Um,
Speaker 1: this just breaking, By the way, the Lieutenant governor issuing
Speaker 1: a denial to the allegation, but of sexual assault. But
Speaker 1: the woman is now giving details about it, and we'll
Speaker 1: give you those details as we continue it unfold. Here's
Speaker 1: why night and I turned on. When I got home
Speaker 1: last night, I was on. I didn't get on till
Speaker 1: eleven after the Democratic response, And when I got on
Speaker 1: the air, I'm thinking, what made this speech more powerful
Speaker 1: than any State of the Union that I can remember
Speaker 1: in my lifetime? Because it just was. And the reason
Speaker 1: is we've never had this level of success in such
Speaker 1: a short period of time. And that's on the economic side,
Speaker 1: that's on national security, that is on promises cap promises made.
Speaker 1: And for me, it's a validation not just because I
Speaker 1: you know, I put my neck on the line. I
Speaker 1: have a lot of my credibility. If I tell you
Speaker 1: he's somebody's going to govern conservatively, I expect them to
Speaker 1: do it. In the past, I've been burned by people.
Speaker 1: Ben Sas, although he did good this week with that
Speaker 1: one bill, Ben Sas is not the person I thought
Speaker 1: he was at the time. One of the biggest mistakes
Speaker 1: I think I made sorry to the people in Nebraska
Speaker 1: because he sounded like it'd be a total star in
Speaker 1: the Senate, and unfortunately he's turned into whatever he's turned into.
Speaker 1: But he did do a good job this week, and
Speaker 1: I respect him for that. But this guy works at
Speaker 1: a pace and a speed that government can't comprehend. Democrats, Republicans,
Speaker 1: anybody that is in the bureaucracy, it is. He is
Speaker 1: the ultimate disruptor. Iconoclassed Yeah, and he tweets big deal.
Speaker 1: We're getting people back to work and American prosperities growing
Speaker 1: in safety is growing as well. Smoking is not about politics,
Speaker 1: it's about people. There are thirty four million Americans that smoke.
Speaker 1: For me, Jewel was a game changer because you switched
Speaker 1: to Jewel. It's simple, it's satisfying and no more smell.
Speaker 1: I watched people all the time they run outside and
Speaker 1: the freezing coal he could be having their cigarette. Well,
Speaker 1: with Jewel, you'll take a quick puff and you're good.
Speaker 1: That's it now. Jewel is designed which smokers in mind.
Speaker 1: From its form to technology, it's easy to use, no buttons,
Speaker 1: no switches, and the goal of Jewel is to impact
Speaker 1: the lives of adults smokers by providing a satisfying alternative.
Speaker 1: Switch to Jewel you'll wish you had done it a
Speaker 1: long time ago to discover the smoking alternative that is
Speaker 1: nothing like any e sig vape you have ever tried.
Speaker 1: Go to this website Juul Jewel dot com slash switch America.
Speaker 1: That's Juul dot com slash switch America. Warning this product
Speaker 1: contains nicotine and nicotine is an addictive chemical. Juul dot
Speaker 1: com slash switch America. All right, twenty five now till
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four
Speaker 1: one sean, if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program, we'll get back to the State of the Union. Well,
Speaker 1: we also ho ho Robert Muller's office is in big trouble.
Speaker 1: A big, big story will break tonight. We have a
Speaker 1: preview with John Solomon and Greg Jarrett will also be
Speaker 1: going back to the State of the Union. But first
Speaker 1: this just release remember the well they have released the
Speaker 1: name of the woman involved in this case with the
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor of Virginia Fairfax, and so I otherwise probably
Speaker 1: would not mention the woman's name, but it's now all
Speaker 1: over the media, and you know, I like to be
Speaker 1: respectful of that. But justin Fairfax is the supposedly he
Speaker 1: was the guy everyone wanted him to replace the current
Speaker 1: governor involved in that insane, grotesque, out of touch chip
Speaker 1: missing comment about first will deliver the baby, followed up
Speaker 1: by the pictures in his yearbook, then followed up by
Speaker 1: an admission that he wore blackface, and that was then
Speaker 1: followed up by the lieutenant governor who was expected to
Speaker 1: take over. And now all of a sudden, this serious
Speaker 1: charge of sexual assault has come up. And now the
Speaker 1: Attorney General, who had then followed the lieutenant governor in
Speaker 1: the order of secession, he now admits he too wore blackface.
Speaker 1: I mean, and I guess, just a mess. But here's
Speaker 1: the big question. Because we all watched the Kavanaugh hearings well,
Speaker 1: paid very close attention. We all saw the rush to
Speaker 1: judgment as we see every time. But we only see
Speaker 1: the rush to judgment, it seems when it is a
Speaker 1: Republican and the Republicans I think, handled it with the sensitivity,
Speaker 1: the appropriate level of concern about the issue, sensitivity that
Speaker 1: was appropriate, and they slowed the process. And then the
Speaker 1: hearings unfolded. But in between you had Kamala Harris and
Speaker 1: Senator bloom what's his name? Bloomenthal from Connecticut and Kirsten
Speaker 1: Gillibrand and so many others. You know, they were all
Speaker 1: out there, and I believe I only do. Women like
Speaker 1: doctor Ford, who greatly comes forward, need to be heard,
Speaker 1: but they need to be believed. They need to be believed.
Speaker 1: The men of this country just shut up and step
Speaker 1: up do the right thing. Let me just say right
Speaker 1: at the outset, I believe doctor Ford. I believe the
Speaker 1: survivor here. I believe her. I stand with her and
Speaker 1: shows up on Monday. I don't think she should be
Speaker 1: bullied into this scenario. I believe her. I believe Professor Ford.
Speaker 1: I think she's credible. I have even Chuck Schumer. I believe,
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe. I believe well. Now that they
Speaker 1: have a lieutenant governor in their own party, I'm not
Speaker 1: hearing very many, I believe, as a matter of fact,
Speaker 1: I haven't heard one. And the media, the complicit, the
Speaker 1: propaganda wing of the Democratic Party, they're not asking those questions.
Speaker 1: What's interesting is now the one's name that is claiming
Speaker 1: to have been assaulted by the lieutenant governor justin Fairfax.
Speaker 1: Her name is doctor Vanessa Tyson, and through her attorney,
Speaker 1: who happens to be the attorney for Professor Ford. She
Speaker 1: has now released a statement. I'll read it to you.
Speaker 1: It says, on the night of Friday, February first, twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: I read multiple news accounts indicating that Virginia Lieutenant Governor
Speaker 1: Justin Fairfax would likely be elevated to governor as an
Speaker 1: immediate result of a scandal involving Governor Ralph Northam. The
Speaker 1: news flooded me with painful memories, bringing back feelings of
Speaker 1: grief and shame and anger that stem from an incident
Speaker 1: with mister Fairfax that occurred in July of two thousand
Speaker 1: and four during the Democratic National Convention in Boston. I
Speaker 1: remember that convention well because I remember one particular night
Speaker 1: we were hanging out and we decided it. I met
Speaker 1: a bunch of Boston cops and we went into this
Speaker 1: local pub and and I wanted to buy everybody dinner,
Speaker 1: and we just had the time of our lives. There's
Speaker 1: the nicest guys you'd ever want to meet. Anyway. I
Speaker 1: met mister Fairfax on July twenty six, two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: when he and I worked at the convention. We stuck up,
Speaker 1: struck up a conversation on the first day of the convention.
Speaker 1: Soon realized we had mutual friends. We crossed paths occasionally
Speaker 1: during the first two days, and our interactions were cordial
Speaker 1: but not flirtatious. We commiserated about our long work hours,
Speaker 1: and on the afternoon of the third day of the convention,
Speaker 1: July twenty eight, two thousand and four, mister Fairfax suggested
Speaker 1: that I get some fresh air by accompanying him on
Speaker 1: a quick errand to retrieve documents from his room in
Speaker 1: a nearby hotel. Given our interactions up to the time,
Speaker 1: I had no reason to feel threatened and agreed to
Speaker 1: walk with him to his hotel. I stood in the
Speaker 1: entryway of the room, and after he located the documents,
Speaker 1: he walked over and he kissed me. Although surprised by
Speaker 1: the advance, it was not unwelcome, and I kissed him back.
Speaker 1: He then took my hand pulled me towards the bed.
Speaker 1: I was fully clothed in a pant suit, had no
Speaker 1: intention of taking my clothes off or engaging in sexual activity.
Speaker 1: In the back of my mind, I also knew I
Speaker 1: needed to return to the convention headquarters. What began as
Speaker 1: consensual kissing quickly turned into a sexual assault. Mister Fairfax
Speaker 1: put his hand behind my neck. He forcefully pushed my
Speaker 1: head towards his crotch. Only then did I realize that
Speaker 1: he had unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants, and taken
Speaker 1: out his penis. He then forced his penis into my mouth.
Speaker 1: Utterly shocked and terrified, I tried to move my head away,
Speaker 1: but could not because his hand was holding down my
Speaker 1: neck and he was much stronger than me. As I
Speaker 1: cried and gagged, mister Fairfax forced me to perform oral
Speaker 1: sex on him. I cannot believe, given my obvious distress,
Speaker 1: that mister Fairfax thought that this forced sexual act was consensual.
Speaker 1: To be very clear, I did not want to engage
Speaker 1: in oral sex with mister Fairfax, never gave him any
Speaker 1: form of consent. Quite the opposite. I consciously avoided mister
Speaker 1: Fairfax for the remainder of the convention, never spoke to
Speaker 1: him again. After the assault, I suffered from both deep
Speaker 1: humiliation and shame. I did not speak about it for years,
Speaker 1: and I, like many survivors, or most survivors, suppressed those
Speaker 1: memories and emotions as a necessary means to continue my
Speaker 1: studies and pursue my goal. Of building a successful career
Speaker 1: as an academic. At the time, I found this horrific
Speaker 1: incident especially degrading given my regular volunteer work at a
Speaker 1: local rape crisis center. Over the next decade or so,
Speaker 1: I would go on to earn my PhD from the
Speaker 1: University of Chicago and become a tenured professor at Scripps College,
Speaker 1: a prestigious women's college in Claremont, California. Years later, in
Speaker 1: October twenty seventeen, I saw a picture of mister Fairfax
Speaker 1: accompanying an article in the Route about his campaign for
Speaker 1: lieutenant governor in Virginia. The image hit me like a
Speaker 1: ton of bricks, triggering buried traumatic memories and feelings of humiliation.
Speaker 1: I felt so intensely back in two thousand and four,
Speaker 1: and prior to reading that article, I had not followed
Speaker 1: mister Fairfax's career and did not know that he was
Speaker 1: seeking public office. Unsure what to do, I felt it
Speaker 1: was crucial to tell close friends of mine in Virginia
Speaker 1: who were voters, about this assault. He says that October
Speaker 1: the vote Quote Me Too movement intensified, and women throughout
Speaker 1: the world began forcefully speaking out about their sexual violence.
Speaker 1: That they had experienced and the impact of those experiences
Speaker 1: on their lives. The courage of so many women coming
Speaker 1: forward to confront such powerful men and symptoms and systems
Speaker 1: that allowed such abuse to occur are part of what
Speaker 1: inspired me to action. I felt the responsibility to myself,
Speaker 1: the beloved's students I teach the brave women I've tried
Speaker 1: to help overcome their own trauma. The passion and resolve
Speaker 1: of so many survivors, coupled with the job security and
Speaker 1: that tenure afforded me, gave me the strength I simply
Speaker 1: did not have in two thousand and four. By December
Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen, I not only told many friends that
Speaker 1: mister Fairfax had sexually assaulted me, but I also reached
Speaker 1: out to a personal friend at the Washington Post and
Speaker 1: spoke to his colleague about the assault. After The Washington
Speaker 1: Post decided in March of twenty eighteen not to run
Speaker 1: my story, I felt powerless, frustrated, and completely drained again.
Speaker 1: I tried to bury memories of this painful incident and
Speaker 1: focus on my work and my students. On Friday, February first,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, as stories appeared in the media suggesting Governor
Speaker 1: Northam would have to resign and that mister Fairfax would
Speaker 1: be sworn in as governor. I felt a jarring sense
Speaker 1: of both outrage and despair. That night, I vented my
Speaker 1: frustration on book in a message that I wrote as
Speaker 1: a private post. I did not identify Lieutenant Governor Fairfax
Speaker 1: by name, but stated that it seemed inevitable that the
Speaker 1: campaign staffer who assaulted me during the Democratic convention in
Speaker 1: oh four was about to get a big promotion. It
Speaker 1: was not my intention in that moment to inject myself
Speaker 1: into what has become a much larger political battle. The
Speaker 1: following morning, I was inundated with messages of care concerned
Speaker 1: from friends, including many I had told about the sexual assaults,
Speaker 1: and numerous inquiries from journalists who had become aware of
Speaker 1: my post over the weekend. I was undecided about whether
Speaker 1: to speak out publicly. I knew if I did so,
Speaker 1: I would immediately face accusations about my motives be branded
Speaker 1: a liar, as is routinely the case when women come
Speaker 1: forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against prominent men. On
Speaker 1: Sunday night, before I had time to decide on a
Speaker 1: course of action, an online publication published a screenshot of
Speaker 1: my Facebook post, identified me by name, posted pictures of me,
Speaker 1: and in response, at two fifty five a m. February fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, mister Fairfax issued a statement further escalating the
Speaker 1: matter by calling me a liar and falsely characterizing the
Speaker 1: reasons the Washington Post decided not to run a story
Speaker 1: about my allegations. The Post was forced to repudiate mister
Speaker 1: fairfax statement that were significant red flags and inconsistencies within
Speaker 1: the allegations which led it to decide not to publish
Speaker 1: the story about my account. Rather, as is often the
Speaker 1: case in situations where sexual assault by an acquaintance occurs
Speaker 1: behind closed doors years earlier, it's difficult to corroborate either
Speaker 1: the victims allegations or the accused denials. Mister fairfax suggestion
Speaker 1: that the Washington Post found me not to be credible
Speaker 1: was deceitful. It was dishonest, profoundly upsetting. He has continued
Speaker 1: to smear campaign by pointing reporters to a two thousand
Speaker 1: and seven educational video in which I talked about being
Speaker 1: a victim of incest and molestation. In that video, I
Speaker 1: did not talk about being assaulted by mister Fairfax. This,
Speaker 1: of course, is not proof that he did not assault me.
Speaker 1: His reliance on this video to say the opposite is
Speaker 1: despicable and an offensive and offensive to sexual assault survivors everywhere,
Speaker 1: and she goes on now. Since October twenty seventeen, when
Speaker 1: I first began telling friends about the assault, I have
Speaker 1: never wavered in my account because I'm telling the truth.
Speaker 1: I have no political motive. I am a proud Democrat.
Speaker 1: My only motive now and speaking out is to refute
Speaker 1: mister Fairfax's falsehoods aspirations of my character and provide what
Speaker 1: I believe is important information for Virginians to have as
Speaker 1: they make a critical decision that involves mister Fairfax with
Speaker 1: tremendous anguish. I am now sharing this information about my experience,
Speaker 1: setting the record straight. It has been extremely difficult to
Speaker 1: relive the traumatic experience from two thousand and four. Mister
Speaker 1: Fairfax has tried to brand me a liar to a
Speaker 1: national audience in service to his political ambitions and his
Speaker 1: threatened litigation. Given us false assertions, I am compelled to
Speaker 1: make clear what happened. I very much wish to resume
Speaker 1: my life as an academic and Professor, I do not
Speaker 1: want to get further embroiled in this highly charged political environment.
Speaker 1: This is the only statement I am my legal team
Speaker 1: will be making. Now, what does Virginia do? Now? You
Speaker 1: got the governor, Oh, he should go, and you got
Speaker 1: the lieutenant governor. You can't put him in place of
Speaker 1: the governor. But I want to know, where's Diane Feinstein,
Speaker 1: Where's Kamala Harris? Where is Senator Bloomenthal? Where is the
Speaker 1: senator from Hawaii? Where Harona? Where is everybody that's said
Speaker 1: I believe nowhere to be found. You know the other
Speaker 1: good thing about the President's speech last night's you know,
Speaker 1: at the beginning and the end, it's not about Republicans
Speaker 1: and Democrats, It's about an agenda for the American people.
Speaker 1: How how do the Democrats ever reconcile their position that
Speaker 1: a president that offers to make the country safer, prevent
Speaker 1: the homicide, sexual assaults, violent assaults, cartels, drug members, the
Speaker 1: ninety percent of heroin coming into this country, that they
Speaker 1: won't even talk the things they once supported, claiming they
Speaker 1: want dhaka and dreamers. President offers that they still won't talk.
Speaker 1: President says, I'm asking you to choose greatness. No matter
Speaker 1: what trials we face, no matter what challenges to come,
Speaker 1: we must go forward together. We must keep America first
Speaker 1: in our hearts. We must keep freedom alive in our souls,
Speaker 1: and we must keep faith in America's destiny that one
Speaker 1: nation under God must be the hope and the promise
Speaker 1: and the light the glory among all the nations of
Speaker 1: the world. Thank you, God, Bless you, God, Bless America.
Speaker 1: The President talked about everything and when he went through
Speaker 1: I'm not going to give the litany of his successes.
Speaker 1: I'll do it on TV tonight, but we've done it
Speaker 1: many times, but putting it up on our website Hannity
Speaker 1: dot Com. All of his successes something the media will
Speaker 1: never talk about. Look At what he said about North Korea.
Speaker 1: Look at the trade deals. Look at the energy. I mean,
Speaker 1: the fact that we're now the number one producer of
Speaker 1: oil and natural gas in the world for the first
Speaker 1: time in sixty five years is amazing. We're now on
Speaker 1: target to be the biggest producer in all these forms.
Speaker 1: Look at criminal justice reform. What a powerful moment. When
Speaker 1: Alice Johnson, who we have interviewed, oh I was pointed
Speaker 1: out and he said Welcome home to Matthew Charles, the
Speaker 1: guy that had been in prison in nineteen ninety six,
Speaker 1: thirty five years, the guy that did thirty Bible studies
Speaker 1: in jail. Look at the case that the President laid
Speaker 1: out for immigration in the safety of the American people.
Speaker 1: I'll never abolish our heroes from ice, the President said, Well,
Speaker 1: I will get it done. President's going to find one
Speaker 1: way or another. I told you that it may take time,
Speaker 1: but he's gonna get it done. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of faith that he keeps his promises and he has
Speaker 1: a track record. The power in his speech was the
Speaker 1: power in his policies that have worked that in an
Speaker 1: investigation impeachment and obsessed media hate Trump, media hate Trump,
Speaker 1: Congress only care about this is Phil Robertson, and today
Speaker 1: in stores you'll find my book, The Theft of America's Soul,
Speaker 1: Blowing the lid off the lives that are destroying our country.
Speaker 1: The book points out, while America is being robbed, there
Speaker 1: are ten lives the devil has attempted to use to
Speaker 1: destroy America's soul. Putting God back in our country is
Speaker 1: the key. The Theft of America's Soul offers ten truths,
Speaker 1: that a fact that one will put God back into
Speaker 1: culture and turn the country around. And you'll find it
Speaker 1: everywhere books are sold. My fellow Americans, we meet tonight
Speaker 1: at a moment of unlimited potential, as we begin a
Speaker 1: new Congress. I stand here ready to work with you
Speaker 1: to achieve historic breakthroughs for all Americans. Millions of our
Speaker 1: fellow citizens are watching us now gathered in this great Chamber,
Speaker 1: hoping that we will govern not as two parties, but
Speaker 1: as one nation. The agenda I will lay out this
Speaker 1: evening is not a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda.
Speaker 1: It's the agenda of the American people. Many of us
Speaker 1: have campaigned on the same core promises to defend American
Speaker 1: jobs and demand fair trade for American workers, to rebuild
Speaker 1: and revitalize our nation's infrastructure, to reduce the price of
Speaker 1: healthcare and prescription drugs, to create an immigration system that
Speaker 1: is safe, lawful, modern, and secure. And to pursue a
Speaker 1: foreign policy that puts America's interest first. There is a
Speaker 1: new opportunity in American politics, if only we have the
Speaker 1: courage together to seize it. Victory is not winning for
Speaker 1: our party. Victory is winning for our country. An economic
Speaker 1: miracle is taking place in the United States, and the
Speaker 1: only thing that can stop it are foolish wars politics
Speaker 1: or ridiculous partisan investigations. If there is going to be
Speaker 1: peace and legislation, there cannot be war and investigation. It
Speaker 1: just does it work that way. We must be united
Speaker 1: at home to defeat our adversaries abroad. We will also
Speaker 1: be announcing the parameters of our investigation, which go beyond Russia,
Speaker 1: but in some will allow us to investigate any incredible
Speaker 1: allegation that financial interests or other interests are driving decision
Speaker 1: making of the President or anyone in the administration. We
Speaker 1: will be conducting our investigation to make sure that the
Speaker 1: country is protected. One of the functions of the Congress,
Speaker 1: the Article one section of government from the days of
Speaker 1: the Founding Fathers, was oversight of the executive branch. And
Speaker 1: the President says, if you investigate me, I'm not going
Speaker 1: to make progress. That's already doing what he did with
Speaker 1: the shutdown, holding the American people hostage. You know what
Speaker 1: I think it shows John he's scared. He's got something
Speaker 1: to hide, because if he had nothing to hide, he
Speaker 1: just shrug his shoulders and let these investigations go forward,
Speaker 1: he's afraid of them, all right. That was Chuck Schumer claiming,
Speaker 1: while he's scared of an ongoing investigation, witch hunt that
Speaker 1: has gone on unfairly no equal justice under the law
Speaker 1: for the last oh two years of the presidency. In
Speaker 1: spite of that, you know what, the president still had
Speaker 1: a list of accomplishments. It certainly would have been the
Speaker 1: envy of the eight years of the Obama administration, wouldn't
Speaker 1: it have. And Adam ship is we now look at
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff, he's now saying this investigation is pretty much
Speaker 1: so wide. If you look at what he's put out there,
Speaker 1: it stunningly wide. It's no longer confined to Russia or
Speaker 1: to election hacking. Now now they're going to investigate any
Speaker 1: connection between anybody that Donald Trump ever talked to in
Speaker 1: his life and any foreigner, and clearly designed to create
Speaker 1: a sprawling investigation that will never end, you know, getting
Speaker 1: into the president's finances and businesses and you know, just
Speaker 1: any one connection so that they can see see we
Speaker 1: got you. You know. It's it's sort of like the KGB,
Speaker 1: the old stuff. Show me the man, I'll show you
Speaker 1: the crime and that's where we're headed. But anyway, the
Speaker 1: president still high grades from the speech last night. The
Speaker 1: CBS poll seventy six percent of respondents loved what the
Speaker 1: President said and seventy two percent supports immigration policies. But
Speaker 1: with that said, there is another side of this investigation
Speaker 1: into Russia that is well blowing wide open more and
Speaker 1: more every day. As we discovered for once, that oh,
Speaker 1: back in August, before they ever filed the FISA warrant,
Speaker 1: that everybody was warned in the DOJ and the FBI
Speaker 1: by brus Or, and they were warned very clearly that
Speaker 1: the dossier was paid for by Hillary, that it was
Speaker 1: created by a guy that hated Trump, a foreign national,
Speaker 1: that it was unverified and not corroborated, but they still
Speaker 1: used it. For example, Comey uses that the bulk of
Speaker 1: that FISA warrant is application is the Clinton dossier, and
Speaker 1: then we learned, oh, he says to the President elect
Speaker 1: in January, well, it's silacious and unverified. Well, it's very
Speaker 1: verified by him when he signed it in October, and
Speaker 1: then it goes on to get signed four more times
Speaker 1: and still it was never verified, corroborated, and key information
Speaker 1: withheld from the FISA Court judges pretty pretty crucial information
Speaker 1: like oh, Hillary, his opponent paid for it anyway. Joining
Speaker 1: us now, John Solomon from The Hill and Greg Jarrett,
Speaker 1: Fox News legal analysts, author of the number one book
Speaker 1: The Russia Hoax. Guys, welcome back. John. You've been breaking
Speaker 1: a lot of stories on this in the last week,
Speaker 1: as as Greg too. Now we take it to another level.
Speaker 1: When everybody now was warned specifically what they should look for,
Speaker 1: they didn't pay attention on purpose. Yeah, I think that's
Speaker 1: going to become the storyline. And Sean, who's going to
Speaker 1: be a story we'll be breaking tonight and hopefully I
Speaker 1: can talk to talk to you tonight about on the
Speaker 1: on the television show. But it's gonna show that Bob
Speaker 1: Muller knew there was a history of FIS abuses in
Speaker 1: the FBI from his tenure at the FBI, that the
Speaker 1: FISA Court took very extreme action in an earlier time
Speaker 1: for doing what has been alleged and shown to have
Speaker 1: occurred here, omitting exculpatory evidence. Omitting so so Bob Muller
Speaker 1: himself in his FBI his FBI withheld exculpatory evidence as
Speaker 1: it relates to the investigation when he was a direct
Speaker 1: before the Russia investigation. This isn't an earlier time when
Speaker 1: he was director of the FBI from two thousand and
Speaker 1: one to two thousand and fourteen, there was there's an
Speaker 1: episode we're gonna be able to divulge tonight that shows
Speaker 1: that he got a very painful admonishment from the FISA
Speaker 1: court for a pattern more than seventy five cases of
Speaker 1: warrants that were submitted with erroneous or omitted evidence. So
Speaker 1: what's this gonna show. It's gonna show two things, the
Speaker 1: man running the Russian investigation today knows you should not
Speaker 1: cheat on a FISA warrant, and two that the FBI
Speaker 1: had a pattern in practice that dates all the way
Speaker 1: back to two thousand and one of omitting important information
Speaker 1: and misleading the court in the court in an earlier
Speaker 1: time frame, back in that two thousand and one two
Speaker 1: three four time frame, took very extreme action and was
Speaker 1: very concerned. And the question that this will raise is,
Speaker 1: where's those judges today, Where's that Justice Department today, Where's
Speaker 1: Bob Mueller today, Where's Rod Rosenstein? Why don't they show
Speaker 1: the same concern for the omissions and this FISA warrant
Speaker 1: that the court showed and admonished Bob Mueller back in
Speaker 1: the early two thousands four when the FBI did it
Speaker 1: in other cases. So very important story that takes history.
Speaker 1: Isn't that? It Isn't it even worse than that? Isn't
Speaker 1: it even committing a fraud on the court, knowingly conspiring
Speaker 1: to commit a fraud on a FISA court taking away
Speaker 1: the civil rights of an American citizen. Well, it's very interesting.
Speaker 1: In the two thousand and one, two thousand and two episode,
Speaker 1: the court said, we don't care if you intended to
Speaker 1: do it or you didn't intend to do it. We
Speaker 1: will not tolerate this. They didn't care. Intention didn't even
Speaker 1: matter to them. The expectation was, if you're going to
Speaker 1: violate an Americans Fourth Amendment, you better have the accurate, precise,
Speaker 1: honest means for doing it. And you take that standard
Speaker 1: and you apply it to this vice of the way.
Speaker 1: Greg has done so many times on television on this
Speaker 1: radio show. You can see that there was knowing, willful
Speaker 1: and vast statement of facts and omission of the facts
Speaker 1: that misled this court, so that the two thousand and
Speaker 1: two standards still stands today. It should be applied to
Speaker 1: this case. And the only question I have is, where's
Speaker 1: the Justice Department? Where is the FBI? Where are the
Speaker 1: leaders of the fist of Court? Why don't they show
Speaker 1: the same concern in two twenty nineteen that they showed
Speaker 1: back in two thousand and two. In two thousand and three, well,
Speaker 1: maybe they thought they could get away with it up
Speaker 1: until this point. Let me bring in Greg Jarrett. It's
Speaker 1: that that would explain a lot of the reasons why
Speaker 1: Muller had no problem appointing Andrew Weisman, a guy that
Speaker 1: we know himself was excoriated by a court for withholding
Speaker 1: exculpatory evidence, a guy that put four innocent men in
Speaker 1: jail merrill executives for a year that was overturned in
Speaker 1: the Fifth Circuit, A guy that ruined tens of thousands
Speaker 1: of jobs when he was the lead investigator in the
Speaker 1: Enron accounting case and that ended up being overturned by
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court nine zero. So if he had issues
Speaker 1: of withholding exculpatory evidence, why would that bother Robert Muller.
Speaker 1: Based on what John Solomon saying, you know former Governor
Speaker 1: Chris Christie, who's on a book tour, now says something
Speaker 1: very interesting the other day. He said, I've worked with
Speaker 1: Bob Muller. I've worked with Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein hired an
Speaker 1: assassin in Bob Muller. Now, obviously that's hyperbole, but there's
Speaker 1: a level of truth to it, And the fact that
Speaker 1: Muller ignored his own conflicts of interest in taking the
Speaker 1: job and then went about hiring a team of absolute
Speaker 1: partisans demonstrates that this is the witch hunt that Donald
Speaker 1: Trump has called it. And not only is Bob Muller
Speaker 1: a kind of assassin when it comes to investigations and
Speaker 1: criminal charges, but he hired a team of assassins. Look
Speaker 1: at these people. Weissman and as an aide, Ahmad both
Speaker 1: were involved in the Bruce or anti Trump dossier in
Speaker 1: its earlier stages. They had a conflict of interest. They
Speaker 1: are not disinterested prosecutors. They have an interest here and
Speaker 1: they shouldn't be on this team. Another should Jeannie Ray,
Speaker 1: who represented Hillary Clinton, and another prosecutor in the case,
Speaker 1: Aaron Zeble, represented another individual in the Clinton email investigation.
Speaker 1: So all of these people, nearly all of them have
Speaker 1: a bias against Trump in favor of Hillary Clinton, and
Speaker 1: Bob Muller is responsible for hiring them. Let me add
Speaker 1: one other point is because when the FBI and the
Speaker 1: DOJ and these very same officials were worn by Bruce
Speaker 1: Or about the dirty dossier in August to twenty sixteen,
Speaker 1: before in October of twenty sixteen, they all knew that
Speaker 1: none of this was verified. Andrew Weissman was one of
Speaker 1: the people that was briefed on that. Now, that to
Speaker 1: me sounds like a conflict of interest. And what I'm
Speaker 1: beginning to suspect may have happened is they decided to
Speaker 1: buy into the dirty Russian Clinton bought and paid for
Speaker 1: dossier as their roadmap to get Donald Trump, when the
Speaker 1: prosecutors and investigators were in on the original plot to
Speaker 1: frame Trump and destroy him. They cannot be fair and
Speaker 1: neutral and objective. And the law is very clear in
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court has said it as such that a
Speaker 1: prosecutor in any case is to seek justice, not just
Speaker 1: to win a case. And where they have a record
Speaker 1: of bias and a conflict of interest, they may not serve.
Speaker 1: And you know, William Barr, when he steps into the
Speaker 1: position as Attorney General, has to put a stop to
Speaker 1: this and hold these people accountable. If I committed a
Speaker 1: fraud on a court, I believe I'd go to jail
Speaker 1: if I withheld him information from a court purposely, and
Speaker 1: obviously in this case, now we know they all knew
Speaker 1: Hillary paid for it, and you turn it into a
Speaker 1: little asterisk, it may have a political taint that's purposefully
Speaker 1: withholding crucial key information that probably would have impacted the
Speaker 1: decision of those judges. And I'd love to hear from
Speaker 1: them one day. We'll get back John and Gregg as
Speaker 1: we continue. But as we continue, John Solomon and Greg
Speaker 1: Jardo with us. John will be fully breaking this story
Speaker 1: about Robert Muller has been excoriated by FISA court judges
Speaker 1: for withholding exculpatory evidence in the past. How many times
Speaker 1: do we know this happened? Well, according to the dockness
Speaker 1: I've seen, it looks like it was more than seventy
Speaker 1: five PISA warrants between nineteen ninety nine in two thousand
Speaker 1: and two, so a very large number of cases. And
Speaker 1: if you remember, that was before the heyday of terrorism,
Speaker 1: so FISA warrants were a little less common. So you're
Speaker 1: talking about a fairly significant large number of warrants that
Speaker 1: material flaws and particularly the word that jumps out to
Speaker 1: me because it's the word that we've all been using
Speaker 1: when we look at the what went on in this
Speaker 1: fist of warrant, the Carter page one omission knowingly willfully
Speaker 1: leaving out information that is so relevant to the court.
Speaker 1: I'll give you a good example that I pull from
Speaker 1: the from this excoriation that the Court gave the FBI
Speaker 1: on Mueller's watch. They were seeking a fist of warrant
Speaker 1: on a guy, and they didn't tell the court he's
Speaker 1: actually our informant. Now, that's a really big fact to
Speaker 1: let to not let the fist of court know about
Speaker 1: as big a fact as not telling the court that
Speaker 1: the guy that we're using as the primary evidence to
Speaker 1: justify this hates Trump was leaking to the president. Is
Speaker 1: a huge story. Hilary Clinton and the Democratic Party. All right,
Speaker 1: Donald Trump, I will have that tonight with John Solomon,
Speaker 1: Greg as well tonight will be joining us as well
Speaker 1: as Pam BONDI. Uh, that's nine eastern right here from
Speaker 1: the swamp washing and DC guys, thank you both appreciate it.
Speaker 1: When we come back, Matt Gates will get his reaction
Speaker 1: to the State of the Union and the speech last
Speaker 1: night and then later while we have the very latest
Speaker 1: coming out of Virginia. What an utter complete mess it's
Speaker 1: now become. As now the Attorney General admitting to being
Speaker 1: in blackface is a moral issue. My administration has sent
Speaker 1: to Congress a common sense proposal to end the crisis
Speaker 1: on the southern border. It includes humanitarian assistance, more law enforcement,
Speaker 1: drug detection at our ports, closing loopholes that enable child smuggling,
Speaker 1: and plans for a new physical barrier or wall to
Speaker 1: secure the vast areas between our ports of entry. In
Speaker 1: the past, most of the people in this room voted
Speaker 1: for a wall, but the proper wall never got built.
Speaker 1: I will get it built. And Diego used to have
Speaker 1: the most illegal border crossings in our country. In response,
Speaker 1: a strong security wall was put in place. This powerful
Speaker 1: barrier almost completely ended illegal crossings. The border city of
Speaker 1: El Paso, Texas, used to have extremely high rates of
Speaker 1: violent crime, one of the highest in the entire country
Speaker 1: and considered one of our nations most dangerous cities. Now,
Speaker 1: immediately upon its building, with a powerful barrier in place,
Speaker 1: El Paso is one of the safest cities in our country.
Speaker 1: Simply put walls work at walls saved lives. Walls work
Speaker 1: walls save lives. The President laying out how they have
Speaker 1: worked in San Diego, they worked in El Pasa one
Speaker 1: area and the Yuma sector of Arizona. They went from
Speaker 1: five miles of walls to about seventy And what happened
Speaker 1: there was a ninety eight percent stoppage of all illegal immigrants,
Speaker 1: a decline of ninety eight percent. Now, as the President mentioned,
Speaker 1: there many of you supported this. Now the question becomes, well,
Speaker 1: why are they not supporting it? Now? A president said,
Speaker 1: you supported dreamers and DACA and all these other things
Speaker 1: and even furloughed employees. Well, the President offered all of
Speaker 1: those things to Democrats. But apparently the Democrats care more
Speaker 1: about their hatred, more about stopping this president from being
Speaker 1: even more successful, than they do about Dreamers, about DACA,
Speaker 1: about the safety security of the American people, which the
Speaker 1: President artis aularly laid out last night. In terms of
Speaker 1: the problems across the southern border. You know, we now
Speaker 1: have eighteen hundred and nine illegal crossing attempts a day,
Speaker 1: and as one article said, that's a ticking time bomb.
Speaker 1: And we know many of the people that are crossing
Speaker 1: that border. I know many come here for hope and
Speaker 1: opportunity and want to work and have a better life
Speaker 1: for their kids and grandkids. The vast majority, it's the
Speaker 1: two percent, though, that want to bring heroin and fetten
Speaker 1: all in. The cartel members, gang members MS thirteen. Those
Speaker 1: are the people that were worried about those that when
Speaker 1: they get here, that have already in the past committed
Speaker 1: homicides against Americans, some four thousand, those when they get
Speaker 1: here that have committed violent sexual assaults. That's thirty thousand
Speaker 1: or the hundred thousand violent assaults. Anyway, Matt Gates put
Speaker 1: an opinion out in USA today, Congressman from Pensacola down
Speaker 1: in Florida. Border walls work. Democrats know it. Yeah, they
Speaker 1: know it. They voted for it, they voted to fund it.
Speaker 1: Except now that it's actually real, they don't mean it.
Speaker 1: Thanks so much for Heaven. And you know, today is
Speaker 1: just a microcosm of the hypocrisy of Democrats as we
Speaker 1: face this crisis on our southern border. You know, earlier today,
Speaker 1: Democrats were trying to push legislation to you know, to
Speaker 1: really deprive Americans of their Second Amendment rights. But when
Speaker 1: Republicans wanted to talk about the violence that illegal immigrants
Speaker 1: were bringing to communities with illegal firearms, Well, then they
Speaker 1: didn't want to hear anything about that. You know, they
Speaker 1: wanted to prove law abiding citizens of rights, but they
Speaker 1: don't want to focus on the consequences of illegal immigration
Speaker 1: that a border wall would help to fix. And then
Speaker 1: you look at Nancy Pelosi's hypocrisy and not even putting
Speaker 1: on the floor of the House what the Democrats proposed
Speaker 1: for border security. I mean, you remember Sean when Nancy
Speaker 1: Pelosi said that the President will put your bill on
Speaker 1: the floor prove that you can get the votes for
Speaker 1: a wall, and we did that. So if Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: has a different strategy, another way that she'd like to
Speaker 1: secure the border, why won't she have a vote on it,
Speaker 1: put it before the American people. The truth is there
Speaker 1: is no Democrats plan to secure the border, and this
Speaker 1: Conference committee is not going to produce acceptable work product
Speaker 1: because the Democrats are going to make sure that it doesn't.
Speaker 1: And so ultimately, this president is going to have to
Speaker 1: use the funds that have been appropriated and authorized, and
Speaker 1: he is going to have to stop the cartels and
Speaker 1: gangs and human traffickers coming into our country. And I'll
Speaker 1: just ask you this, Shan, did you see at this
Speaker 1: State of the Union when the President said he was
Speaker 1: going to put the cartels and the human traffickers out
Speaker 1: of business? He could not even give the Democrats to
Speaker 1: stand up an applaud to that. I thought that was sickning. Well,
Speaker 1: there was a lot of those moments where they sat
Speaker 1: out on their hands, even the President talking about stopping
Speaker 1: and fantasized or these abortions that apparently has become the
Speaker 1: cause sleb of Democrats and sixtyferent states. Now the US
Speaker 1: Senate they had to bill out yesterday to protect kids
Speaker 1: and presidents talking about can we, you know, stop aborting
Speaker 1: fully formed human souls, babies that are viable on their
Speaker 1: own in the ninth month, even up to the birthing
Speaker 1: of that child. Pretty amazing. It's not abortion. We should
Speaker 1: start calling that abortion. I mean, you know it's not abortion. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you've made mention before that abortion is not an issue
Speaker 1: that you cover because you know, there are reasonable people
Speaker 1: who can have reasonable differences at sum level, and it
Speaker 1: invokes people's faith. But we can all agree that once
Speaker 1: life has been created, once a woman is dilating. Once
Speaker 1: a baby is able to be viable outside the womb,
Speaker 1: the killing that child is not abortion. Is not a
Speaker 1: single person that I know that considers themselves pro choice,
Speaker 1: not one. When they heard the governor of Virginia, and
Speaker 1: by the way, what a mess now that state is in.
Speaker 1: When they heard the governor of Virginia say, well, we'll
Speaker 1: deliver the baby and make sure the baby's comfortable, and
Speaker 1: the mother will decide if if the baby is in
Speaker 1: distress and needs resuscitation, that mother will make that decision
Speaker 1: and then we'll have a chat. And I'm thinking that
Speaker 1: is a human soul, not only viable, but living, delivered
Speaker 1: comfortably and literally being right in front of you. How
Speaker 1: any there's some disconnect in some people, you know, most
Speaker 1: people I know. If it was a kitten, if it
Speaker 1: was a puppy, describe the way the governor describes this baby.
Speaker 1: If it was a fish for crying out loud, people
Speaker 1: would never allow that to happen with There's a callousness,
Speaker 1: a disconnect, a deep rooted disconnection from reality. Just listening
Speaker 1: to him say that so cavalierly and Sean, I wonder
Speaker 1: how female voters are going to react to this. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know that you think about the bond between mother
Speaker 1: and children, and you know the we're I spoking list.
Speaker 1: You know, since the State of the Union were so
Speaker 1: appreciative that the President seems to recognize that bond. He
Speaker 1: understands that the most important organization in America is actually
Speaker 1: not the government, it's the American Smally, it's the bonds
Speaker 1: created within a family that show us how to treat
Speaker 1: other human beings that we interact with, and where we'll
Speaker 1: allow that dynamic and the human life to be treated
Speaker 1: with such disrespect. I worry about the negative consequences that
Speaker 1: spill over, but you're certain right, Shawn, whether it's rejecting
Speaker 1: the killing of born babies, rejecting the business model of
Speaker 1: cartels and human traffickers, or rejecting the idea of socialism
Speaker 1: as an organizing principle in American life. I thought that
Speaker 1: the President was trying to stake out the most comfortable
Speaker 1: ground all Americans to be able to get behind an
Speaker 1: agenda that really speaks to our values in our future
Speaker 1: and our prosperity. Meanwhile, you've got Democrats that want to
Speaker 1: resist the very things that they themselves have supported in
Speaker 1: the past. Because they're allowing Trump to define what they believe.
Speaker 1: You know that that's not how you know what Conservatives
Speaker 1: made a mistake when we just opposed every single thing
Speaker 1: from Obama because there might have been some of those
Speaker 1: things that we believed in, but we allowed him to
Speaker 1: define us in some cases. Here, Democrats are just the
Speaker 1: anti Trump party. They're not four things that will improve
Speaker 1: quality of life for people than what they're now everything
Speaker 1: they hit in twenty eighteen then now bragging about and
Speaker 1: trying to use to generate support from their base. And
Speaker 1: you know, if it means a wealth tax on money
Speaker 1: that people already were taxed on, if it means a
Speaker 1: seventy or eighty or ninety percent tax rate, if it
Speaker 1: means literally making it illegal like Kamala Harris suggested, and
Speaker 1: have a single payer healthcare system where you're not allowed
Speaker 1: to buy private health insurance. Uh. Now they now they're
Speaker 1: exposing themselves. Last question. Um, Now the President looks like
Speaker 1: and has said he will go it alone, either the military,
Speaker 1: national emergency, some combination thereof. What I'm getting concerned about
Speaker 1: is what I'm reading, and that is that there are
Speaker 1: some Republican senators that are not willing to hold the
Speaker 1: line and do the right thing on the issue of
Speaker 1: safety and security and stopping drugs, cartels and gangs. And
Speaker 1: that they may oppose the President's actions on this h
Speaker 1: is that to me is almost unforgivable. They don't what
Speaker 1: are they there for that would be selling out the
Speaker 1: country Sean. The good news is that under existing law,
Speaker 1: if the President designates the border a critical drug trafficking corridor,
Speaker 1: he has the authority without the Senate without Nancy policy
Speaker 1: to begin construction to stop that corridor from remaining. But
Speaker 1: it shows the true colors of some of these Rhino
Speaker 1: senators that you know. I think that they tend to
Speaker 1: lean into some of the open borders feelings within some
Speaker 1: corners of the Republican Party. They want to benefit from
Speaker 1: cheap labor. But this president has defined our values correctly,
Speaker 1: your rising wages for the American worker, rule of law,
Speaker 1: and say streets and Sean, that's an agenda license eight
Speaker 1: Americans can get behind, all right, Congressman Gates, rising Star
Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus member from Pensacola, the Panhandle. Congressman, great to
Speaker 1: hear from you, and we appreciate it if you come
Speaker 1: back often. Thank you. Right as we continue Sean Hannity's
Speaker 1: show before we get to our news round up information overload,
Speaker 1: our boy, we got a mess unfolding in Virginia. As
Speaker 1: I told you about earlier, we have even more details now.
Speaker 1: The attorney general the third in line. If Northam goes
Speaker 1: then it would be the lieutenant governor. The lieutenant governor
Speaker 1: now facing very serious arges of sexual assault. Now the
Speaker 1: Attorney general comes out today, he admits he dressed in blackface.
Speaker 1: Who's next? But I guess the Speaker of the House.
Speaker 1: How far down the line do we need to get
Speaker 1: before there's even a possible replacement here for the people
Speaker 1: of Virginia. Anyway, Nathan is in Florida, Nathan High, how
Speaker 1: are you? And we're glad you called? Hi, Shan, thanks
Speaker 1: for taking my call. No, my point is I'm old
Speaker 1: enough to know that the problem the Democrats are going
Speaker 1: to end up winning everything. And here's why. What they
Speaker 1: understand is that people want things for nothing. I heard
Speaker 1: this story yesterday about how you worked hard. I worked
Speaker 1: hard too, But the APICs person today they want free
Speaker 1: college tuition, they want free medical care. And that's how
Speaker 1: the Democrats are now dominant in New York California, New Jersey, Virginia.
Speaker 1: They live off the dependency of others. That's that political strain.
Speaker 1: I mean in California, when I was younger than elected
Speaker 1: Ronald Reagan, you think Ronald Reagan could be the I'm
Speaker 1: going to California now. People don't want rugged individualism anymore.
Speaker 1: They haven't been trained about it in the schools. Let's
Speaker 1: say you had two restaurants. One of them does great service,
Speaker 1: good food, and charges money, and the other one is
Speaker 1: subsidized by the government and gives crummy food, honible service.
Speaker 1: I guarantee the good one will closed and the crappy
Speaker 1: one to be open forever. And the best part, no
Speaker 1: one's ever going to pay the bill, because that's the deficit.
Speaker 1: Let me explain something. Everybody has a certain psychological makeup.
Speaker 1: Human beings tend to be prone and I'm kind of
Speaker 1: missing this chip a lot prone to be warriors. They worry,
Speaker 1: and rightly so. I don't know why. But when I
Speaker 1: had no money in my twenties, and you know, I
Speaker 1: was living on my own financially independent, I really didn't
Speaker 1: worry about it. I just knew I'd go out and
Speaker 1: work every day, and I somehow I'd make it through,
Speaker 1: but I wasn't making decisions like getting married because I
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to. And long story short. But but when
Speaker 1: somebody comes along and says, we're gonna give your free education, well,
Speaker 1: we pay more per capita for education with the worst
Speaker 1: results that you can ever imagine, the worst bang on
Speaker 1: our dollar of anybody, an unholy alliance between teachers, unions,
Speaker 1: and Democrats. Then they come along and they say Obamacare,
Speaker 1: keep your doctor, keep your plan, pay less. Okay, everyone loses,
Speaker 1: millions lose their doctors, lose their plans and only have
Speaker 1: one option, and everybody's paying more. Now they're saying they'll
Speaker 1: take away any chance you have at healthcare keeping your
Speaker 1: own private plan, because it's going to be Medicare for all. Okay.
Speaker 1: When that fails, there's no insurance industry left to go to.
Speaker 1: There's a reason why Canadians come to America with their
Speaker 1: single payer system when they want the best care, It'll
Speaker 1: be a disaster. People must realize you give up every
Speaker 1: bit of freedom when they give you fall security. They
Speaker 1: never fulfilled their promise. Ever, That is the fallacy of
Speaker 1: redistribution and socialism. Say right here for our final news.
Speaker 1: Round up and information overload. All right, news round up,
Speaker 1: information overload. As we come to you from our nation's capital.
Speaker 1: We're still in the swamp. We get to we get
Speaker 1: a retreat sometime later tonight, making plans to escape eight
Speaker 1: hundred nine for one sens number. We're gonna go over
Speaker 1: some of the highlights of the president's speech in the
Speaker 1: next half hour. I want to go to what has
Speaker 1: now become a unmitigated colossal disaster for the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Speaker 1: Now let's go back in time and remember the House
Speaker 1: of Delegates in Virginia. They want to pass this bill.
Speaker 1: The woman who sponsors the bill, the same woman, by
Speaker 1: the way, who sponsored a bill to save caterpillars and
Speaker 1: some kind of worm that turns into a caterpillar. You
Speaker 1: can't kill the worm. She is being grilled in committee.
Speaker 1: Her name is she's Delegate Katy Trand in the House
Speaker 1: of common about her proposal to allow abortion to the
Speaker 1: moment of birth. And remember when they talk about dilation
Speaker 1: in this question, that means the birthing process has already begun.
Speaker 1: Listen to this. How late in the third trimester could
Speaker 1: a physician perform an abortion if he indicated it would
Speaker 1: impair the mental health of the woman or physical health. Okay, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm talking about the mental health. So I mean through
Speaker 1: the third trimester. The third trimester goes all the way
Speaker 1: up to forty weeks, okay, but to the end of
Speaker 1: the third trimester, yep. I don't think we have a
Speaker 1: limit in the bill. So where it's obvious that a
Speaker 1: woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs
Speaker 1: of that she is about to give a birth, would
Speaker 1: that still be a point at which she could request
Speaker 1: an abortion if she was so certified she's dilating. All right,
Speaker 1: mister chairman, that would be a you know, a decision
Speaker 1: that the doctor, the physician, and the woman understand that.
Speaker 1: I'm asking if your bill allows that. My bill would
Speaker 1: allow that. Yes, So the woman who is giving in
Speaker 1: the process fully formed, fully developed, viable fetus, it's being born. Well,
Speaker 1: then the governor Ralph Northam, he goes on this radio
Speaker 1: show in Virginia and explained, well, I'll tell you exactly
Speaker 1: what would happen we deliver the baby. Well, listen, if
Speaker 1: a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly
Speaker 1: what would happen. The infant would be delivered, the infant
Speaker 1: would be kept comfortable, the infant would be resuscitated if
Speaker 1: that's what the mother and the family desired, and then
Speaker 1: a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.
Speaker 1: Okay in this particulars in this situation, So the baby's
Speaker 1: gonna be delivered and then made comfortable, and then the
Speaker 1: mother will decide if the baby's in distress. Remember, this
Speaker 1: is a human soul alive, being kept comfortable the essence
Speaker 1: of innocence. If a baby isn't the essence of innocence,
Speaker 1: We've got to ask ourselves what kind of country do
Speaker 1: we want to be, what kind of soul do we
Speaker 1: want to have? What values do we represent here? And
Speaker 1: then while the baby's being made comfortable, only the mother
Speaker 1: will decide whether to resuscitate the child or not if
Speaker 1: the child is in distress. And then it goes even further,
Speaker 1: gets worse as it relates for Ralph Northam, because then
Speaker 1: this photo emerges from his medical school yearbook, him dressed
Speaker 1: or a picture of a clan member next to a
Speaker 1: person in black face, and he apologizes for the photo
Speaker 1: and then like the next day, in another weird press conference, says,
Speaker 1: I wasn't in the yearbook photo. And but he says,
Speaker 1: but I did dress in black face. I darkened my
Speaker 1: face for a Michael Jackson costume contest cuts Let's play,
Speaker 1: and then he wanted to do the moonwalk at that moment.
Speaker 1: Why I did not appear in this photo. I am
Speaker 1: not surprised by its appearance in the EVMS yearbook. In
Speaker 1: the place and time where I grew up, many actions
Speaker 1: that we rightfully recognize as abhorrent today were commonplace. My
Speaker 1: belief that I did not wear that costume or attend
Speaker 1: that party stems in part from my clear memory of
Speaker 1: other mistakes I made in the same period of my life.
Speaker 1: That same year, I did participate in a dance contest
Speaker 1: in San Antonio in which I darkened my face as
Speaker 1: part of a Michael Jackson costume. I look back now
Speaker 1: and regret that I did not understand the harmful legacy
Speaker 1: of an action like that. It is because my memory
Speaker 1: of that episode is so vivid that I truly did
Speaker 1: not believe I am in the picture in my yearbook.
Speaker 1: You remember these things? And he said, the competitions, Yes,
Speaker 1: that's right, still appropriate, My wife says, an appropriate circumstances.
Speaker 1: He was gonna do it, you know, and when he
Speaker 1: admits all this, oh, it's hard to get off when
Speaker 1: you put shoe polosh on your face, and he's I mean,
Speaker 1: he's missing something. There's a missing chip in here. U
Speaker 1: has somebody that could be that disconnected on all of
Speaker 1: these specific issues. All right, now, then the next bomb,
Speaker 1: if you will to drop, is then you have the
Speaker 1: Lieutenant governor Fairfax. Justin Fairfax, UH is accused by a
Speaker 1: woman Uh going back to the Boston two thousand and
Speaker 1: four Democratic Convention, accusing him of literally forcing her into
Speaker 1: a violent sexual act. And she has come out and
Speaker 1: told her story, and that story now is gaining a
Speaker 1: lot of credibility because the woman who made the allegation
Speaker 1: now has a friend that corroborated that she had told
Speaker 1: her at the time exactly what had happened. That now
Speaker 1: brings up the issue of the Democrats and all of
Speaker 1: those people during the hearings of Justice Kavanaugh that went
Speaker 1: out before we heard from any of the people making allegations,
Speaker 1: all those people going out there and saying I believe,
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe. We have a montage of all
Speaker 1: the Democrats saying they believe. Listen, I only do women
Speaker 1: like doctor Ford who gravely comes forward need to be heard,
Speaker 1: but they need to be believed. They need to be
Speaker 1: believed of this country. Just shut up and step up,
Speaker 1: do the right thing. Let me just say right at
Speaker 1: the outset, I believe doctor Ford. I believe the survivor here.
Speaker 1: I believe her. I stand with her. Hope she shows
Speaker 1: up on Monday. I don't think she should be bullied
Speaker 1: into this scenario. I believe her. I believe Professor Ford.
Speaker 1: I think she's credible. Oh, I believe. Now the question
Speaker 1: is do you believe the woman that is making the
Speaker 1: accusation against Fairfax because the accuser now has hired the
Speaker 1: attorney of Professor Christine Blasi Ford in that position, and
Speaker 1: Fairfax would uh you know. The thinking was that when
Speaker 1: nor when Northman had to resign, that it would be
Speaker 1: the lieutenant governor that would take over. Well, now he's
Speaker 1: facing not only serious assault charge against by this woman,
Speaker 1: but also the woman as a witness that will testify
Speaker 1: that she was told at the time that it actually
Speaker 1: had happened. Now it gets worse for the lieutenant governor
Speaker 1: because NBC News reporting today and what was first I
Speaker 1: guess sent out in a tweet we haven't corroborated it
Speaker 1: on our own. Washington Exam has a copy of this
Speaker 1: as well, So there's multiple sources reporting this that the
Speaker 1: Lieutenant Governor Fairfax, you know, made a pretty vulgar and
Speaker 1: disgusting reference to this woman, you know, saying, you know,
Speaker 1: this week when this issue came up at a meeting
Speaker 1: with staff, using the F that B word, I mean, unbelievable.
Speaker 1: So he would take over if the governor, who's absolutely nuts,
Speaker 1: has to step down or is asked to step down. Okay,
Speaker 1: so well, then who then becomes the next person? How
Speaker 1: many people do you have to go through before you're
Speaker 1: going to get to the person that is going to
Speaker 1: govern the Commonwealth of Virginia. Now, with the governor and
Speaker 1: the Lieutenant governor both facing scrutiny on these issues, the
Speaker 1: question is raised, what happens if both men resigned from
Speaker 1: their positions. Now, Virginia has their constitution and the order
Speaker 1: of secession for the branch or the state government would
Speaker 1: mean that the state's attorney general would take over the
Speaker 1: governor's role. Okay, we got a little breaking news in
Speaker 1: that department as well today because the attorney general's name
Speaker 1: is Mark Harring, and Mark Harring admitted he too has
Speaker 1: worn blackface in the past when he was in college.
Speaker 1: In nineteen eighty, when I was a nineteen year old
Speaker 1: undergraduate in college, some friends suggested we attend a party
Speaker 1: dressed like rappers that we listened to at the time,
Speaker 1: like Curtis Blow, and perform a song. Harring said, it
Speaker 1: sounded ridiculous even now writing it. But because of our
Speaker 1: ignorance and glib attitudes, and because we did not have
Speaker 1: an appreciation for the experiences and perspectives perspectives of others,
Speaker 1: and because of all of that, we dressed up, put
Speaker 1: on wigs and brown makeup. And he said, this was
Speaker 1: a one time occurrence. I accept full responsibility for my
Speaker 1: conduct and the revelation. Now further royals the top levels
Speaker 1: of the Virginia government. Now you're asking, you said, well,
Speaker 1: who would be next, Well, the next person in line
Speaker 1: would be the speaker of the House of Comments. What
Speaker 1: are you going to find out about that person in
Speaker 1: the next couple of days. It is pretty amazing that
Speaker 1: this is all coming out in secession succession like this. Now,
Speaker 1: first you have the governor, it starts with abortion. Then
Speaker 1: after the abortion, then it goes to the blackface issue.
Speaker 1: Then the lieutenant governor, who was almost a FATA complete
Speaker 1: he was going to step in for the governor. Now
Speaker 1: he has this problem with a serious sexual assault charge,
Speaker 1: and it goes on from there, you know. But the
Speaker 1: worst part of all of this to me is, you know,
Speaker 1: this high ground that everybody in the Democratic Party takes
Speaker 1: every two and four years that they have a monopoly
Speaker 1: of compassion on issues involving race in this country, when
Speaker 1: in fact, nothing could be further from the truth. You know,
Speaker 1: I went through a long history of the Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: you know, and race over the years, and it's not
Speaker 1: one that they should in any way be proud of.
Speaker 1: You know, you go back as far as you want.
Speaker 1: For example, the Republican Party is the party of Lincoln.
Speaker 1: The Republican Party is the party of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Speaker 1: You know, the Republican Party is the party of the
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty four Civil Rights Act and the sixty five
Speaker 1: Voting Rights Act. And when you go through all of this,
Speaker 1: what you see is a country a party that you know,
Speaker 1: the Southern Manifesto, that was all the Democratic Party. Governor
Speaker 1: Wallace standing in a schoolhouse door, that's the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: you know Hillary Clinton's you know mentor former clansman Robert K.
Speaker 1: K Byrd, remember when he was home with Tony Snow.
Speaker 1: This is in two thousand and something. You know, it
Speaker 1: gives this ridiculous answer white. I've amount of white my
Speaker 1: time when you use that word. But we've all, we've all.
Speaker 1: We just need to work together to make our country
Speaker 1: a better countrat if you want to use that word. Well,
Speaker 1: apparently he did want to use that word because he
Speaker 1: used it. And that is the Jay William Fulbright segregationist,
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton's great mentor in life and the person that
Speaker 1: he trusts. But every two and four years without fail,
Speaker 1: every political season, Republicans are racist, Republicans are sexist, Republicans
Speaker 1: are misogynist and homophobic. You get the whole point. You
Speaker 1: know Al Gore saying Republicans to a predominantly black audience,
Speaker 1: changing his tone, cadence, speech delivery, which is just beyond
Speaker 1: the palainin of itself. And I'll listen to this in then, Blury,
Speaker 1: how the large shall be revealed? Stand with me for
Speaker 1: the economic empowerment that is the next great civil rights
Speaker 1: in the frontier inn Blory, how the large hum you revealed?
Speaker 1: Don't tell me we live in a color bland society.
Speaker 1: The Republicans know that there is the wrong agenda for
Speaker 1: African Americans. That's why they don't even want to kill
Speaker 1: you in the census. In the Plory of the Lord
Speaker 1: shall be revealed. In the Plory of the Lord shall
Speaker 1: be just like Hillary Clinton. All of a sudden, her tone,
Speaker 1: her cadence shifts, adjust changes. I don't feel no ways tired.
Speaker 1: I come too far from where I started from. Nobody
Speaker 1: told me that the road would be easy. I don't
Speaker 1: believe he brought me this far to leave me and
Speaker 1: the chair of all the mayors in the country, Mayor
Speaker 1: Palmer from Trenton, New Jersey. It is so sickening that
Speaker 1: the whole tone cade delivery shifts before predominantly African American audiences.
Speaker 1: Why don't he just be yourself all the talk Republicans
Speaker 1: look at the record low unemployment for minorities in this
Speaker 1: country under the policies of Donald J. Trump, lowest record
Speaker 1: level unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, women in the workplace,
Speaker 1: Asian Americans, youth unemployment, and our vets are going back
Speaker 1: to work. Even the new members of Congress dressed in white.
Speaker 1: Last night when he started rattling off the statistics about women,
Speaker 1: had his stand up. Wait, don't sit down, Hang on,
Speaker 1: I got more to tell you. Don't sit down. He's
Speaker 1: high fiving, having fun. All right, twenty five now till
Speaker 1: the top of the hour. So what struck me last
Speaker 1: night about the president's speech more than anything made what
Speaker 1: made it stand out, what made it the most powerful
Speaker 1: is the fact that in two short years he has
Speaker 1: taken us out of the economic doldrums of the Obama
Speaker 1: years with an amazing comeback, miracle, opportunity and yes, conservatism
Speaker 1: works again. It was a pretty amazing night because his
Speaker 1: policies have worked. That's the list of accomplishments were massive.
Speaker 1: We're going to play some of this right now. The
Speaker 1: decision is ours to make. We must choose between greatness
Speaker 1: or grid luck, results or resistance, vision or vengeance, incredible
Speaker 1: progress or pointless destruction. Tonight I ask you to choose greatness.
Speaker 1: The agenda I will lay out this evening is not
Speaker 1: a Republican agenda or a Democrat agenda. It's the agenda
Speaker 1: of the American people. In just over two years since
Speaker 1: the election, we have launched an unprecedented economic boom, a
Speaker 1: boom that has rarely been seen before. There's been nothing
Speaker 1: like it. We have created five point three million new
Speaker 1: jobs and importantly added six hundred thousand new manufacturing jobs,
Speaker 1: something which almost everyone said was impossible to do. Nearly
Speaker 1: five million Americans have been lifted off food stamps. Unemployment
Speaker 1: has reached the lowest rate in over half a century.
Speaker 1: African American, Hispanic American, and Asian American unemployment have all
Speaker 1: reached their lowest levels ever recorded. More people are working
Speaker 1: now than at any time in the history of our country,
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty seven million people at work. This
Speaker 1: is a moral issue. The lawless state of our southern
Speaker 1: border is a threat to the safety, security, and financial
Speaker 1: well being of all America. Tonight, I am asking you
Speaker 1: to defend our very dangerous southern border out of love
Speaker 1: and devotion to our fellow citizens and to our country.
Speaker 1: Wealthy politicians and donors push for open borders while living
Speaker 1: their lives behind walls and gates and guards. Working class
Speaker 1: Americans are left to pay the price for mass illegal immigration.
Speaker 1: Tolerance for illegal immigration is not compassionate, It is actually
Speaker 1: very cruel. Lawmakers in New York cheered with delight upon
Speaker 1: the p passage of legislation that would allow a baby
Speaker 1: to be ripped from the mother's womb moments from birth.
Speaker 1: These are living, feeling, beautiful babies who will never get
Speaker 1: the chance to share their love and their dreams with
Speaker 1: the world. And then we had the case of the
Speaker 1: governor of Virginia where he stated he would execute a
Speaker 1: baby after birth. To defend the dignity of every person,
Speaker 1: I am asking Congress to pass legislation to prohibit the
Speaker 1: late term abortion of children who can feel pain in
Speaker 1: the mother's womb. Here are the United States. We are
Speaker 1: alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country.
Speaker 1: America was founded on liberty and independence and not government coercion, domination,
Speaker 1: and control. We are born free and we will stay free.
Speaker 1: Tonight we renew our resolve that America will never be
Speaker 1: a socialist country. If I had not been elected President
Speaker 1: of the United States, we would right now, in my opinion,
Speaker 1: be in a major war with North Korea. Much work
Speaker 1: remains to be done, but my relationship with Kim Jong
Speaker 1: On is a good one. Chairman, Kim and I will
Speaker 1: meet again on February twenty seventh and twenty eighth in Vietnam.
Speaker 1: Members of Congress, the state of our union is strong,
Speaker 1: sounds so good. Our country is vibrant, and our economy
Speaker 1: is thriving like never before. One Friday, it was announced
Speaker 1: that we added another three hundred and four thousand jobs
Speaker 1: last month alone, almost double the number expected. My administration
Speaker 1: has sent to Congress a common sense proposal to end
Speaker 1: the crisis on the southern border. It includes humanitarian assistance,
Speaker 1: more law enforcement, drug detection at our ports, closing loopholes
Speaker 1: that enable child smuggling, and plans for a new physical
Speaker 1: barrier or wall to secure the vast areas between our
Speaker 1: ports of entry. In the past, most of the people
Speaker 1: in this room voted for a wall, but the proper
Speaker 1: wall never got built. I will get it built. My
Speaker 1: fellow Americans, we meet tonight at a moment of unlimited potential,
Speaker 1: as we begin a new Congress. I stand here ready
Speaker 1: to work with you to achieve historic breakthroughs for all Americans.
Speaker 1: Millions of our fellow citizens are watching us now, gathered
Speaker 1: in this great Chamber, hoping that we will govern not
Speaker 1: as two parties, but as one nation. The agenda I
Speaker 1: will lay out this evening is not a Republican agenda
Speaker 1: or a Democrat agenda. It's the agenda of the American people.
Speaker 1: Many of us have campaigned on the same core promises
Speaker 1: to defend American jobs and man fair trade for American workers,
Speaker 1: to rebuild and revitalize our nation's infrastructure, to reduce the
Speaker 1: price of healthcare and prescription drugs, to create an immigration
Speaker 1: system that is safe, lawful, modern, and secure. And to
Speaker 1: pursue a foreign policy that puts America's interest first. There
Speaker 1: is a new opportunity in American politics, if only we
Speaker 1: have the courage together to seize it. Victory is not
Speaker 1: winning for our party. Victory is winning for our country.
Speaker 1: We have unleashed a revolution in American energy. The United
Speaker 1: States is now the number one producer of oil and
Speaker 1: natural gas anywhere in the world, and now, for the
Speaker 1: first time in sixty five years, we are a net
Speaker 1: exporter of energy. San Diego used to have the most
Speaker 1: illegal border crossings in our country. In response, a strong
Speaker 1: security wall was put in place. This powerful barrier almost
Speaker 1: completely ended illegal crossings. The border city of El Paso, Texas,
Speaker 1: used to have extremely high rates of violent crime, one
Speaker 1: of the highest in the entire country and considered one
Speaker 1: of our nations most dangerous cities. Now immediately upon its building,
Speaker 1: with a powerful barrier in place, Opasso is one of
Speaker 1: the safest cities in our country. Simply put walls, work
Speaker 1: at walls, saved lives. No one has benefited more from
Speaker 1: our thriving economy than women, who have filled fifty eight
Speaker 1: percent of the newly created jobs last year. You aren't
Speaker 1: supposed to do that. Thank you very much, Thank you
Speaker 1: very much. All Americans can be proud that we have
Speaker 1: more women in the workforce than ever before. Don't sit
Speaker 1: yet either. Like this, and exactly one century after Congress
Speaker 1: passed the Constitutional amendment giving women the right to vote,
Speaker 1: we also have more women serving in Congress than at
Speaker 1: any time before. That's great, very great, and congratulations. That's great.
Speaker 1: Here tonight, we have legislators from across this magnificent Republic.
Speaker 1: You have come from the rocky shores of Maine and
Speaker 1: the volcanic peaks of Hawaii, from the snowy woods of
Speaker 1: Wisconsin and the red deserts of Arizona, from the green
Speaker 1: farms of Kentucky and the golden beaches of California. Together,
Speaker 1: we represent the most extraordinary nation in all of history.
Speaker 1: What will we do with this moment? How will we
Speaker 1: be remembered? I ask the men and women of this Congress.
Speaker 1: Look at the opportunities before us. Our most thrilling achievements
Speaker 1: are still ahead, Our most exciting journeys still await. Our
Speaker 1: biggest victories are still to come. We have not yet
Speaker 1: begun to dream. We must choose whether we are defined
Speaker 1: by our differences, or whether we dare to transcend them.
Speaker 1: We must choose whether we squander our great inheritance or
Speaker 1: whether we proudly declare that we are Americans. We do
Speaker 1: the incredible, we defy the impossible, we conquer the unknown.
Speaker 1: This is the time to reignite the American imagination. This
Speaker 1: is the time to search for the tallest summit and
Speaker 1: set our sights on the brightest star. This is the
Speaker 1: time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and
Speaker 1: memory that link us together as citizens, as neighbors, as patriots.
Speaker 1: So what made that all possible is in two years
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's governed conservatively. Add to that, by the way,
Speaker 1: all the conservative originalist justices he put on the court,
Speaker 1: By the way, all you never trumpers now you're feeling
Speaker 1: a little bit guilty, feeling no, you're probably not, probably
Speaker 1: still want him to fail so you can say, see,
Speaker 1: we were right. It is the country better off today
Speaker 1: than we wore two years ago, infinitely better. All right,
Speaker 1: Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of stories. We are breaking one huge
Speaker 1: story about Faisa that goes right into Robert Muller's office.
Speaker 1: The chaos that is Virginia, the governor, lieutenant governor with
Speaker 1: the sexual assault charge, now the attorney general next in
Speaker 1: line to be governor if those two go. He also
Speaker 1: dressed in blackface. That's from DC tonight. We'll see you
Speaker 1: back in New York tomorrow. As always, thank you for
Speaker 1: being with us.
