I'm a member 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 1: of the United States Congress from Texas the first District, 35 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you I know that I don't get 36 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: asked to be on television because of my looks, and 37 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: I know I don't get asked to be on radio 38 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: because of the way I sound. I think it's the way, 39 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: uh we think, at least of the people in East 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: Texas think, uh that a lot of the country just 41 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: likes the common sense that's located in East Texas. I 42 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,440 Speaker 1: just happened to be a mirror for seventy of the 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: views of East Texans. And I am just tickled to 44 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: be here. Uh at this microphone, Shawn's microphone, and uh, 45 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: I tell you I come in here.

And Jason keeps me straight. 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,519 Speaker 1: Sometimes he has to push kind of hard to keep 49 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: me straight, but gets me straight. Um, but just honored 50 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: to be here. Now. I want to get right to 51 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,279 Speaker 1: something that I think is absolutely critical to the ongoing 52 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 1: of you know, freedom in America. We have the left 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: that is throwing everything they can at the president, like 54 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 1: him or dislike him. Let's don't make up crimes that 55 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: just didn't exist. And what I have noticed over and 56 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:22,239 Speaker 1: over during my time in Washington is that Democrats do 57 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: not all of them, but so many of them, especially 58 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: the top folks, they do what's called projecting. They engage 59 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: in conduct that is detrimental to you know, the good 60 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: order of things, and perhaps it's criminal, perhaps it's immorl 61 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: perhaps it's whatever unethical, But instead of ever admitting it, 62 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: they come out and accuse the other side, the their opponents, 63 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: or the other side, the Republicans, of doing exactly what 64 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,839 Speaker 1: they've done, when the Republicans hadn't even thought of it. 65 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: You know, most of the friends I know, we don't 66 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: think like that. But when you have people on the 67 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: left that are thinking about ways that they can get 68 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: over on good, good folks, good Republican people, conservatives, whether 69 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: Republicans or not, uh, you know, it's just not the 70 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: way most of us think. And um, it's it's been interesting, 71 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: uh finding out more and more about Coomey. I knew 72 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 1: all about Mueller as FBI director, and I was one 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: of about the only voice at the time that I 74 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: was aware of that was sending out warning signals about 75 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: Mueller being tapped to be the Independent Council because, in 76 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: my opinion, is my opinion, he did more damage to 77 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: the FBI than any FBI director we've ever had, including 78 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: the darker days of Edgar Hoover. And why would I 79 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: say that? Because Mueller wanted nothing but yes men around him. 80 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: He wanted nothing but yes men in the FBI, and 81 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: we had just an incredible FBI, incredible Federal Bureau of Investigation. Now, 82 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: I know every every group's got a few worms, you know, 83 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: a few bad apples in every barrel. But I would 84 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 1: submit to you that when it comes to law enforcement, 85 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: including the FBI, you have got so many fewer as such, 86 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: so much tinier of a percentage that are problematic than 87 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: you do in rank and file citizens at large. Um. 88 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: And the reason there's any problem at all is because 89 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 1: we're human, and there's gonna be a human in every 90 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: every group, and it's gonna be made up of humans. 91 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: So anyway, but Muller, he wanted yes men. So what 92 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: does he do. He creates what he called a five 93 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: year upper out program. Well, what was that five year 94 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 1: upper out? Sounds innocuous enough. Well, if you were in 95 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: a supervisory position anywhere in the country with the FBI, 96 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: and uh, you got to the end of that five years, 97 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,599 Speaker 1: you were not going to, you know, continue on. You were. 98 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: You had a choice. You either come to Washington and 99 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 1: be a menuon at a cubicle. Maybe you get a 100 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: better desk, but uh, you come to Washington, you rip 101 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,679 Speaker 1: your kids out of their schools, you rip your family 102 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: out from all their friends, and you bring them to 103 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: Washington where you know they don't have friends. And by 104 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: the way, for those in law enforcement that may be listening, 105 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: you know, it takes a while to build credibility, and 106 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 1: especially if you're a federal law enforcement like FBI, because 107 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 1: when you come into a town, everybody wants to know 108 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 1: is this gonna be a guy that's really helping man 109 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: or woman? I use the guy term for both. If 110 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: you're gonna be a guy that's going to help us 111 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: and be a team worker, or you going to grab 112 00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 1: every bit of work we do and then run grab 113 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: a headline with it. And it takes time to build 114 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: that credibility. So yeah, FBI agents, uh, special agents in 115 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: charge sacks. They've got S A, I, S b um 116 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: And when they ended got to the end of their 117 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: five years, then they most of them, so many of them. 118 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what percentage got out. I think it was. 119 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 1: The Wall Street Journal had a story some years back 120 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: on the thousands and thousands of years of experience that 121 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: Mueller drove out of the FBI. And this wasn't a 122 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: case where we needed to clean it out. But what 123 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: I had experienced as a prosecute, as a judge, as 124 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 1: a chief justice. You know, I came out of law 125 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: school and I was a prosecutor, and I went, well, 126 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: this is great because I know the law so much 127 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: better than these who's I'm up against. Well, it turns 128 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: out I knew the law better than them. But there 129 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: is something to be said for experience. So I learned 130 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: some lessons from some people that knew a lot less 131 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: about the law, but knew a lot more about human nature. 132 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: And I learned a lot from people. And so um, 133 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: you had people across the country in the FBI that 134 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: were in charge, and Mueller drove him out. He didn't 135 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: want anybody in the FBI that might ever raise a question. Now, 136 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,359 Speaker 1: I know there were some people back when William Jefferson 137 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 1: was found to have that ninety thousand dollars in his freezer, 138 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: that cold hard cash. If you remember, I read the 139 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 1: AFFI David that that they used to get a warrant 140 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: to go into his office. They had enough evidence based 141 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 1: on that what was in the warrant to put him 142 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: under the prison if they wanted to. They were trying 143 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: to work out a deal, but over two hundred years, 144 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 1: because there is the balance of power, there's the check 145 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 1: and balance, there's the separation of power. If the FBI 146 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: has the right to come in any member of Congress's 147 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: office and grab every hard drive, every flash drive, everything 148 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: like that without having anybody screen that to make sure 149 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: there are not things that should not be seen that 150 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: are completely irrelevant to that, then they're gonna be able 151 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: to find out who whistleblowers are. They're gonna be there. 152 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: There would be no balance of power, there be no 153 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: separation because the FBI could intimidate anybody, and that it 154 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,680 Speaker 1: was clearly what Mueller wanted to do when he came 155 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 1: charging into Jefferson's office. No one had ever done that before. 156 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 1: It had always been that you went to the Speaker 157 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,480 Speaker 1: of the House, and I didn't like the law when 158 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: I read it and found out what it was. But 159 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: you go to the speaker, and the speaker has authority 160 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: to give law enforcement the authority to go into your office, 161 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,120 Speaker 1: but only if they make sure and they bring in 162 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: attorneys and they make sure that those attorneys unrelated to 163 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 1: the FBI or the Executive Branch screen that information for 164 00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: anything privilege that's unrelated to the alleged defense, and that 165 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: allows Congress to continue with oversight. The BI can come 166 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: barging in any time. Then, Uh, you know there's no oversight. 167 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: There's just they're good at an intimidation. So the courts 168 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,719 Speaker 1: made that clear. That's the way it's been for over 169 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: two hundred years. And Mueller, You're not going to be 170 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: the one that changes that just to try to intimidate Congress. 171 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: You can go back. I haven't looked in years, but 172 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: I remember reading that Mueller made an offhand and comment 173 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: about or maybe it's time to appoint four hundred agents 174 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: to investigate Congress. Uh, that was a shot at Congress. 175 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: This is a mean, vindictive guy. And Uh. There was 176 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: an article by Molly Hemingway back in June and the 177 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: Federalists and Boys. She does a great article. Now she 178 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: points out that the Wall Street Journal um had a 179 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: story back in the political Mr Comey, Obama's FBI nominee 180 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 1: has a record of prosecutorial excess and bad judgment. And 181 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: then it goes through how Comey was at the bottom 182 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 1: of screwing over Martha Stewart. Look, I understand she's a Democrat, 183 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: I met her. I like her. She she and and 184 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: she has some really amazing ideas. But uh, Frank Quatrone unbelievable. 185 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: I didn't remember this, but Hemingway brings this out. Um 186 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: as Uh, Comey went after him for wait for it, 187 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: obstruction of justice because of a single ambiguous email. And 188 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: the conviction ended up being overturned and the first trial 189 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: ended and hung jury. But quatroumb by the time it 190 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,960 Speaker 1: all ended about thrown out, was so scarred by the 191 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: harassment he began funding projects designed to help innocent people. 192 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: And who was at the bottom of all this It 193 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: was Comy. Uh. And it was over a single email 194 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: that was ambiguous. Uh. What did Comey do about Hillary 195 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 1: Clinton's massive email scandal? Nothing? He protected her. Uh. And 196 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: I know that there are people out there we're going, yeah, 197 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: but you know what about him coming out right before 198 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: the election and and saying they're reopening the investigation. Look, 199 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,559 Speaker 1: there are enough quality FBI agents, they are bound somebody 200 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: is bound to have pointed out that we have just 201 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: gotten all of this information from Anthony Weiner's laptop and 202 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 1: more that we didn't know. Um, that was actually for 203 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: whom Avid and Wiener's emails that were on Wiener's laptop. Uh. 204 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: Somebody surely pointed out that we have got to reopen 205 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 1: because now we've got all this additional evidence we thought 206 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 1: was gone. If Comey had not said they were reopening 207 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,199 Speaker 1: the investigation, there was room for coming after him big time. 208 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: Uh So what does he do in order to protect 209 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton? And I know most people said, oh no, 210 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: he really went after No, he protected her. He came out, 211 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: he stopped anybody else from quitting at the FBI to 212 00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 1: bring out how Comy was covering up for Hillary. Oh no, 213 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,120 Speaker 1: we're reopening. And I think I said it on Fox 214 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: said it somewhere, was asked, you know, well, what about 215 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 1: Comy coming out with this before the trial? I said, well, 216 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: we'll know what his intentions were if he comes out 217 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 1: a day or two before the election and says she's exonerated. 218 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what he did. It was a smoke 219 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:12,560 Speaker 1: screen to protect Hillary. It was not intended to hurt her. 220 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,200 Speaker 1: But you look at Scooter Libby, you look at Judith Miller, 221 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: that the damage they did there, and then you find 222 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: out that he and Mueller, Um, you know, we're in 223 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: ca hoots on on some of these cases. Um, here's 224 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: the bottom line, folks. We need President Trump to appoint 225 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: an independent council e as full authority to do Jef 226 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: Sessions because of his recusal anything to do with Russia, 227 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: it may lead over into this. So it needs to 228 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: be the president himself. He needs to investigate, Well, it 229 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 1: did Comy do to Jeff Sessions what he did to 230 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: John Ashcroft and encourage him to recuse himself so that 231 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: Comy could get a friend the job of special counsel. 232 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 1: He did that with the godfather of one his children, Uh, 233 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Gerald Fitzpatrick. So anyway, we need an independent council. Gotta 234 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: gotta investigate the whole blooming lot. Uh. That means Mueller, Comy, Lynch, 235 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: the Clintons, and Obama. Now we're gonna come back.

We'll be 241 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 1: right back. From number one New York Times bestselling author 242 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 1: and radio host Mark R. Levine comes in essential new 243 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: book Rediscovering Americanism and the Tyranny of progressive Ism, a 244 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: searing plea for a return to America's most sacred values. 245 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: Mark R. Levine revisits the founder's warnings about the perils 246 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 1: of overreach by the federal government and concludes that the 247 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: men who created our country would be outraged and disappointed 248 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: to see where we've ended up. Levin asks how do 249 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: we save our exceptional country because our values are in 250 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 1: such a precarious state. He argues that a restoration to 251 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,360 Speaker 1: the essential truths on which our country was founded has 252 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 1: never been more urgent, and understanding these principles can serve 253 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: as the antidote to tyrannical regimes and governments. Rediscovering Americanism 254 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 1: is not an exercise in nostalgia, but an appeal to 255 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: his fellow citizens to reverse course for the sake of 256 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:31,000 Speaker 1: our children and our children's children.

Hey, louis great monologue. I just 263 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: agree with you on Trump needs to appoint an independent 264 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: council to go after these people who obviously broke the law. Clinton. 265 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 1: You know, I can go on and on. UH think 266 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,360 Speaker 1: that that kind of way with breaking the law must 267 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: be a lot nice to have a last named Clinton.

I remember Chuck Colson. 271 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: I think he was a modern day apostle Paul and 272 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: and Watergate was his Damascus Road experience. But he pointed 273 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: out I went to prison for a year and a 274 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,719 Speaker 1: half for having one FBI file in the in the 275 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: White House. The Clinton's had over nine FBI files in 276 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 1: the White House and nobody did a single day in prison. Uh, 277 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: it's time there was some accountability. So we will be 278 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 1: uh finding out more about that only if we get 279 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: an independent council and the president himself has to point. 280 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: Look up.

I appreciate it. Well. You your ears must 295 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 1: have been burning when Podesta and my friend Maria, I 296 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: hope she would consider a spread. But Maria bartar Barbaroma 297 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: was getting into it, and Podesta was basically saying that 298 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: she was just wrong. She was getting ridiculous information and 299 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 1: she was seemed to be taking pretty valid information. Um. 300 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: Did you see that or see a replay of that interview? Yes? 301 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,399 Speaker 1: I did, and h you know, look, Um, I wish you, Competer, 302 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: I wish you could have been part of that because 303 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: I just knew that your ears were burning and you 304 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: were just jumping at the bits to jump in there 305 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,439 Speaker 1: and straightened John out. So now I'm looking forward to 306 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: having you straightened out the places where John was not 307 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: being as honest as he perhaps should have been. Well listen, 308 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 1: Congressman I appla Maria Barbaromo for raising those issues. A 309 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: fantastic job. Um. And you know the problem is is 310 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: that John Podesta was deceptive and in some instances dishonest 311 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: about his relationship with the Russian government. Um. You know, yeah, 312 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 1: he said he didn't have any stock in the Russian company. 313 00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: Said go back to the effects, right bad Roma said 314 00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: that's not true. John. We know you owned five thousand 315 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 1: shares you were on the board of Julie. Is that 316 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: how you say it? Jewel, Yes, jewel, Um, yes, that's right. Um. 317 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: You know, he he would would sort of purposely mischaracterize 318 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: what she said, so he could deny that it was true. 319 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: You know, here's the bottom line. When John Podesta in 320 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: two thousand eleven was part of Hillary Clint's Foreign policy 321 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: Council at the State Department, he was an advisor. We 322 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: know from the Wiki leaks emails that were released. He 323 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 1: was advising her on everything from personnel matters to policy. 324 00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:02,480 Speaker 1: Two speeches um in that capacity. When he was there, 325 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: he joined the board of this small energy company in 326 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:11,120 Speaker 1: Massachusetts called Jewel Energy UM. It's actually located offshore legally 327 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: through a series of complex corporate structures, but it was 328 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: physically based in Massachusetts. And two months after he joined 329 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 1: that board, they got thirty five million dollars in Russian 330 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,359 Speaker 1: government money and Congressman this is from a fund called 331 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: Ruce Nano that the Russian science Minister calls Putin's child 332 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: because Putin set it up, Putin runs it, Putin directs it. 333 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: Uh that thirty five million dollars represented more than a 334 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: thirty percent of what the company raised, and two Russian 335 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,800 Speaker 1: officials joined the board and sat by John Podesta. One 336 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: of them was the head of Bruce Nano. The other 337 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 1: is a Russian oligarch um who has been appointed to 338 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: economic revitalization boards by Vladimer Putin. So they're both very close. 339 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,120 Speaker 1: And what's troubling is is not only is John Podesta 340 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: tried to sort of misdirect exactly what his relationship was. 341 00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: We also know that what Jewel Energy was working on 342 00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: was a new form of fuel that had both civilian 343 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 1: and military application, and that John Podesta got seventy five 344 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: thousand shares in the company. Uh. And this all took place, 345 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: by the way, at the time that Hillary Clinton, through 346 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:35,159 Speaker 1: something called Skokovo, was transferring Western technology to Russia. The 347 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: Pentagon and the FBI later said had military applications. So 348 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 1: it's a whole cluster of relationships that I think needs 349 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: investigation or does it ever? Uh do you think Muller 350 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: will be getting into that kind of investigation? Well, I 351 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 1: sure hope. So you know guarantee I can guarantee you 352 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 1: he will not. I can. I'd tell you, Congressman. The 353 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: other factor I think that's so important here is that 354 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 1: John Podesta appeared before the House Intelligence Committee to talk about, 355 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, the Russia hacking of his emails, and Maria Bardaromo, 356 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: in that interview we talked about, asked him whether he 357 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: was asked about his commercial and financial ties to the 358 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: Russians and he said he couldn't discuss it. What I 359 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: would say is if he was as um deceptive to 360 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: the House Intelligence Committee as he was to the American 361 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:35,400 Speaker 1: public and to meet Maria Bardaromo, he's got some very 362 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 1: real problems and the House Intelligence Committee needs to have 363 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 1: him back because he was not being accurate and truthful 364 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 1: about his relationship with the Russians to the American people. Well, 365 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: one of the problems I've had with our House leadership 366 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: under John Bayner, and it didn't seem to improve too 367 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: much when it comes to enforcing our jurisdiction and going 368 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: after people that lie or oath. It's happened repeatedly, and 369 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: we have not held people UH in check by going 370 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 1: after them when um when they've lied under oath. It's 371 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 1: happened many times during the Obama administration, and uh so 372 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: I'm not sure that it will do much good to 373 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: have them in front of a House UH committee, because 374 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,600 Speaker 1: once we catch them in alive, we don't do anything 375 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: about it. At the most we ever did was have 376 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: a vote and holding Eric Holder in contempt. And then 377 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,640 Speaker 1: I think Baynard probably didn't agree to have the vote 378 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 1: until he found out nothing was gonna happen unless we 379 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: pushed it after the vote, which we did not do, 380 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: and so nothing happened there either. I think we need 381 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,160 Speaker 1: an independent council going into this as well. I mentioned 382 00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: earlier in the show that one of the things and 383 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: the Clintons just just were incredibly good at projecting. They 384 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:04,119 Speaker 1: would engage an inappropriate conduct and then they would accuse 385 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: opponents of doing the very thing that they were And 386 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,119 Speaker 1: I really think that's what happened on this collusion with Russia. Uh, 387 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: they had been engaging in collusion. There's all kinds of 388 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:22,879 Speaker 1: ties between the Obama administration and the Russian government and 389 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: detail Vladimir that I'll have more flexibility after the election. 390 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,439 Speaker 1: And uh, then they tried to throw all of that 391 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: on Trump like he was like he threw the election. 392 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: Uh you know, his own way by using the Russians. Well, 393 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,679 Speaker 1: you know, accongressman. You know, it's been about eight months 394 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 1: now since this, Uh, this idea after the election came 395 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: to fruition that there was some kind of collusion or 396 00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:53,199 Speaker 1: collaboration between people around Trump and the Russians. And I 397 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: said at the beginning is I think a lot of 398 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 1: people did his look if if something like that happens, 399 00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 1: we want to know, Well, you know, eight months of investigation, 400 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: there's zero evidence of anything. What we know is it 401 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: relates to the Clintons and the Russian government when Hillary 402 00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: Clinton was Secretary of State. We know that Hillary is 403 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: Secretary of State during the Reset, gave a lot of 404 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: favors and benefits to the Russian scope vote this tech 405 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 1: tans transfer program being one of them. What was happening 406 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: at the same time, benefits were flowing, financial benefits were 407 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: flowing to the Clintons and their friends. You had what 408 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: we just talked about, John Podesta and this deal with 409 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: dual Energy. You had Bill Clinton giving five d thousand 410 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 1: dollars speeches twenty minutes speeches in Russia, well above his rates. 411 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 1: You had Russian government officials and Russian connected oligarchs donating 412 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation. This is all 413 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 1: happening simultaneous. So the sorts of transactions or the sort 414 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: of exchange of favors that people argued, um you know, 415 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: was taking place between Trump and the Russians, which there's 416 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: no evidence for, was occurring when Hillary Clinton was secretary 417 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 1: of State, and what we need to investigate now is 418 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 1: how will those transactions related at all? And I think 419 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 1: for anybody who was concerned about the Trump Russia question, 420 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: um has to be honest and say, if I was 421 00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,160 Speaker 1: concerned about that possibility with Trump, and now there's no evidence, 422 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 1: we need to be concerned about that possibility. Haven't happened 423 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,160 Speaker 1: when Hillary Clinton was secretary of State? Yeah? Well, uh, 424 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 1: and I'm talking to Peter Schweitzer. This is Louis Gohmert 425 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: sitting in for Sean Hannity and Peter. My gosh, if 426 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: we got a council appointed to really start digging, I mean, 427 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 1: the first place I would recommend that he go is 428 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: to your book, Clinton Cash. Uh, here's where you start, 429 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: because you've got a lot already investigated for you. It's 430 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: just laid out on a platter. You did some remarkable 431 00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: investigation before you wrote that book. Well, thank you. Yeah, 432 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: it was. It was a lot of research. And you know, 433 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: I think what I was most excited about when the 434 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: book came out. It it obviously got a lot of attention, 435 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: and Sean and others were so supportive, But what I 436 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: was most happy about is when it came out on 437 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 1: the front page of the Wall Street Journal that the 438 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 1: FBI took Clinton cash and according to the Wall Street Journal, 439 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: used it as the roadmap for the FBI to begin 440 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,640 Speaker 1: the investigation of the Clinton Foundation. And what we know 441 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: is that there have been five field offices of the 442 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 1: FBI investigating the Clinton Foundation. That during the Obama administration, 443 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: FBI field offices were asking for subpoenas and wire tap 444 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,000 Speaker 1: capability and they were turned down by the career Department 445 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: of Justice lawyers to do so. Um. You know, let's 446 00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,800 Speaker 1: hope that changes, because it needs to be investigated. And 447 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, Compressman say to me, people say to me sometimes, well, look, 448 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,960 Speaker 1: she's not in office anymore. Doesn't really matter to me. 449 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: This is not at all about avenge. It's not about 450 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: hope engines. It's about finding the truth and and and 451 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,680 Speaker 1: we've got to clean out the cesspools where they are. 452 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 1: You know, there were crimes committed during the Clinton administration years. 453 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: And God bless George W. Bush. He's just I know 454 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 1: some people don't care for him, but I'm telling you 455 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: he's as gracious a guy as you could be around. 456 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: And he thought he was being gracious when he came 457 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: in his presence and in essence said you know, all right, 458 00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: everything that's happened in the past, that's bygones. We're starting 459 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: fresh today. And the problem that good natured approach allowed 460 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: people who were going to leak, who were going to 461 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: try to destroy his presidency, and that included it at 462 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 1: most every department and agency, and they did, and they 463 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 1: undermined him at every turn. And Uh, one of the 464 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: things that's going to be really important for Congress to do. 465 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: We've we've given the president authority to fire people at 466 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,320 Speaker 1: the v a um for cause and not just go 467 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: through all of the ridiculous hurdles that that allow a 468 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,800 Speaker 1: felon to stay in in the office. But we have 469 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:17,880 Speaker 1: got to give the president more latitude to get get 470 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:22,560 Speaker 1: rid of the bad folks there. But anyway, um, there 471 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:24,280 Speaker 1: are a lot of people that wanted to get to 472 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: the bottom of it. And yes, I understood they had 473 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,840 Speaker 1: your book and they were looking, but the people at 474 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: the top were not about to let anything happen to 475 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 1: the Clintons. I mean, you had surely, with all the 476 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:42,640 Speaker 1: investigation you've done, you had to be amazed two here 477 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: through the news the deals that were being cut with 478 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: people like Ryl Mills. You know, you let us see 479 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120 Speaker 1: your laptop and then we'll destroy everything that's on it. 480 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: And you have amnesty and we want I mean, nobody 481 00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 1: is I've never heard of anybody making those kind of amnesty. 482 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 1: The agreements just incredible, incredible. Yeah, no, it's it's it's remarkable. 483 00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: And you know, look, one of the things we know 484 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,479 Speaker 1: about the election by looking at the exit polls, is 485 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 1: that three out of four Americans and these are people 486 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,640 Speaker 1: that voted for Trump or voted for Hillary, of all voters, 487 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 1: three out of four believe there is widespread corruption in Washington, 488 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: d C. And the question is how are you going 489 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: to root it out and deal with it. And if 490 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 1: you adopt the posture that certain people are untouchable, certain 491 00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: people are are just too prominent or too powerful, or 492 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: they have too many people that like them, so we're 493 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,920 Speaker 1: not going to investigate and and and you know, take 494 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: proper course of action if it's necessary, you've completely undermined 495 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,239 Speaker 1: people's faith in government. And so I think, you know, 496 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: that's where we are. That's where we are. And this 497 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 1: is one of those issues, Congressmen that I do I 498 00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: really don't think is a right left issue. It's right wrong. 499 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: Well it shouldn't be a right left issue, but I'm 500 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,440 Speaker 1: afraid it gets down to that. But now you have 501 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: done phenomenal work, and we really appreciate you coming on 502 00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 1: and illuminating us. The Clintons need to be investigated, and 503 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: it's gonna take an independent counsel, Peter, I think to 504 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: get that done. The career folks that want to get 505 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: to the bottom of this will not be allowed unless 506 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: we get somebody independent in there to do it. But man, 507 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:31,000 Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on, Peter Schweitzer. Go 508 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 1: check out Clinton Cash if you haven't read it, great read. 509 00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: And this is the Shawn Hannity Show, and we'll be 510 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 1: right back. We'll take your calls. Eight hundred nine four 511 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:45,120 Speaker 1: one seven, three to six. Sean. This is the Sean 512 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: Hannity Show. And this is Louis Goldmer sitting in for Sean. 513 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to gym in Florida. Jim, Welcome to Shawn 514 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,760 Speaker 1: Hannity Show. Pleasure to speak with you, talk to you. 515 00:32:57,720 --> 00:33:00,280 Speaker 1: Go ahead. The question is real quick, is why do 516 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: we keep starting these investigations when we don't finish ones 517 00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 1: that we originally started. You still have the I R. 518 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: S scandal when they were going after the tea party, 519 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: you have fast and furious, Um, Benghazi is still out there, 520 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,440 Speaker 1: and every time they just keep talking about starting investigations 521 00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,080 Speaker 1: and they never finished. And even when they do, nobody's 522 00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,280 Speaker 1: held accountable. Yep, You're exactly right. And that's what I 523 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: pointed out to our leadership. I guess last October when 524 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,920 Speaker 1: they were saying, look, it's not looking good for Trump. 525 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 1: We better make sure we keep the majority so we 526 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:36,400 Speaker 1: can hold hill reaccountable. I was going, are you kidding me? 527 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,520 Speaker 1: We hadn't held anybody accountable. I couldn't agree with you more, Jim. 528 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:44,080 Speaker 1: And that is exactly why I am saying, we've got 529 00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: to have an independent counsel that is an investigation. They 530 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: have subpoena power and they got prosecution power, and they 531 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:56,240 Speaker 1: can put people in jail. That's where we need the investigation. Congress. 532 00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 1: You know, we call them up, we get statements and 533 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 1: that may be helpful to use in perjury charges later. 534 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 1: But we got to do this. This is Shaun Handy Show. 535 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,359 Speaker 1: This is Louis Golmerk sitting in for Shawn Hannity. You've 536 00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: got the Shawn Hannity Show. Now, look, I was one 537 00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,360 Speaker 1: of the people that bought into the line, Yeah, we 538 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,760 Speaker 1: need to be able to buy in health insurance across 539 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 1: state lines. That's gonna bring down prices. But then the 540 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: more I got to thinking about them, going, wait a minute, 541 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:29,439 Speaker 1: if you buy across state lines, this is the way 542 00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 1: markets work. Maybe, uh, California, Illinois, where they've had a 543 00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:40,360 Speaker 1: lot of big malpractice verdicts and things, maybe their prices 544 00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 1: come down because they start buying in places like Texas 545 00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: or Ioway, places where they could get it cheaper. Maybe 546 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,239 Speaker 1: New York gets it cheaper. In other places, I'm sure 547 00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: it would be ill you brother. But but then overall 548 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:57,919 Speaker 1: the cheaper policies they get more expensive because you've got 549 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,280 Speaker 1: people from like California with work mints of claims filing 550 00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 1: on their Texas insurance company. Well, it wouldn't it just equalize? 551 00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, I was a history major and uh not 552 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:15,239 Speaker 1: an economic economists, But I do agree with John kinn 553 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:18,359 Speaker 1: of Galbert on one thing about economy. There are only 554 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:21,680 Speaker 1: two kind of economists, those who don't know and those 555 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: who don't know. They don't know. But in any event, 556 00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:30,960 Speaker 1: Paul Gossar from Arizona represents the fourth Congressional district. He's 557 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: a member of the Freedom Caucus and he is a 558 00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,319 Speaker 1: very close, very dear friend of mine. I think the 559 00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:41,279 Speaker 1: world of him. And uh, anyway, Paul was the one 560 00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:44,000 Speaker 1: really pushing this in the House, this idea of wait 561 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:46,920 Speaker 1: a minute, that's not gonna cure things just by across 562 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,000 Speaker 1: state lines. What we've got to do is we have 563 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: got to stop the exemption that health insurance companies have 564 00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 1: from the antitrust laws they're allowed to monopolize. And so 565 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 1: who do I have on the Sean Hannity Show with me, 566 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 1: Louie Gombert. Substitute is fellow Congressman Paul got Sar. Paul, 567 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Thanks for having me on. Louie, Well, 568 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,759 Speaker 1: why don't you explain it. I'm sure you can do 569 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 1: quite a bit better than I have so far, But 570 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: explain why it is so important that we end the 571 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,120 Speaker 1: exemption for health insurance companies that was put in place 572 00:36:25,239 --> 00:36:29,160 Speaker 1: by the mccaren Ferguson Act of nineteen forty five. And folks, 573 00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,799 Speaker 1: that was nineteen you know, way back when Louie in 574 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,360 Speaker 1: there was a case of Southeastern underwriters versus the US 575 00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:41,160 Speaker 1: in the Supreme Court rule that the insurance industry was 576 00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:46,320 Speaker 1: subject anti trust laws. Um, the insurance company ran to Congress. 577 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 1: They've got an exemption. And maybe at that time it 578 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:51,799 Speaker 1: was warranted because they were just an impetue type of 579 00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,040 Speaker 1: industry and they needed to share. But today they got 580 00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:56,880 Speaker 1: the best of all the world. They got the best mathematicians, 581 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: the best algorithms, the best computers. And what ends up 582 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,640 Speaker 1: happening is we need to open up the competition. And 583 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,160 Speaker 1: this is what's key here. Um. When you open up competition, 584 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,960 Speaker 1: your rates flower, and it's going to help not just 585 00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,680 Speaker 1: the insurance market of health premiums, but also those panels 586 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 1: of doctors that are held on by insurance industries. This 587 00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,239 Speaker 1: is one of the first things that you have to 588 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 1: do to liberate a marketplace because the insurance industry has 589 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: so many opportunities and so many different products to produce, 590 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: but the federal government doesn't allow them. And what's in 591 00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:30,799 Speaker 1: it for them? I mean, we've got to allow them 592 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 1: to compete. And if you believe in the markets, they 593 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,400 Speaker 1: compete when they compete for the consumers dollars. And so 594 00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,600 Speaker 1: this is a key component of a new birth place 595 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:43,279 Speaker 1: in the health care industry. Well, Paul, let's just give 596 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: for example, if you were well, say a health insurance 597 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: company went to a hospital and said, uh, look, we 598 00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: want you in our network, we want to do business 599 00:37:56,400 --> 00:38:00,200 Speaker 1: with you. But there's a new healthcare law out here, 600 00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:03,840 Speaker 1: and there's a whole lot of new health insurance companies 601 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: popping up, new meta share all kinds of things, and 602 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:11,879 Speaker 1: so we're putting in our agreement that if you do 603 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 1: business with anyone else, any of these other insurance companies, 604 00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:21,680 Speaker 1: we're going to cut you out of our network. Um. 605 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 1: Would that be the violation of anti trust laws if 606 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: you didn't have an exemption. Well, what happened is is 607 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,480 Speaker 1: that currently in Arizona, we actually have insurers that own hospitals, 608 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 1: own doctors, and service areas. That's a perfect definition of 609 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 1: a monopoly. And so what happened is is that the 610 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,840 Speaker 1: full forcing of the federal government is understood to actually 611 00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:48,480 Speaker 1: break that up so that there's competition in that marketplace. Um. 612 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,800 Speaker 1: You know you see this every day with grocery stores, 613 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,960 Speaker 1: um like Safely and bash shows around the country. When 614 00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: they get too much of a marketplace, Um, the Feds 615 00:38:58,239 --> 00:39:00,280 Speaker 1: break it up and return it back to the states 616 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,279 Speaker 1: and That's what's key here is that the tentament has jurisdiction. 617 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: States Rights has jurisdiction over insurance and healthcare, and what 618 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,799 Speaker 1: we're trying to do is return that so that we 619 00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,360 Speaker 1: see the best options, giving it back to the government 620 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,760 Speaker 1: that's closest to the people. Um, imagine the idea of federalism. 621 00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,720 Speaker 1: Really there you go, that's how we get the marketplace going. Well, uh, 622 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, it just should make sense to most anybody 623 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:28,879 Speaker 1: that if you're going to if you're gonna have real 624 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:34,880 Speaker 1: competition across the country, Uh, it's not going to do 625 00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: it if people buy across state lines and health insurance 626 00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,359 Speaker 1: companies still have this anti trust exemption. You know, we're 627 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,360 Speaker 1: told that thirty to forty states have one insurer left 628 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,640 Speaker 1: in the state. Well, it occurs to me, if we 629 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: don't end the exemption from anti trust laws, and all 630 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: we do is allow people to buy across state lines, 631 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 1: then instead of having thirty to forty states with one insurer, 632 00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:06,000 Speaker 1: you will have one country with one or maybe two insurers, 633 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,480 Speaker 1: because they'll be the monopoly for the country. Doesn't that 634 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,360 Speaker 1: makes sense. That's exactly where they're going. They want a 635 00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,000 Speaker 1: single payer and welcome Canada, welcome, Great Britain, welcome the 636 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:18,320 Speaker 1: European model. It doesn't work. And you know, by the 637 00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:21,640 Speaker 1: way folks welcome the v A system. You know, how 638 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,640 Speaker 1: well is it that helped our our our veterans who 639 00:40:24,680 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 1: have put everything in the harm's way. You know, we'd 640 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: not we nott rectify it. This is gonna be an 641 00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 1: albatross to try to fix, Louis. You know, once you 642 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 1: push one bug and sports to another area. Well, you're 643 00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:38,200 Speaker 1: the one that brought it to my attention, Paul, and 644 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:41,080 Speaker 1: I like to think that I've been up in our 645 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:46,120 Speaker 1: conference almost as much as you have, demanding pushing that 646 00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:49,760 Speaker 1: we get a vote on your bill in the House 647 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,560 Speaker 1: that will allow that the end of the exemption for 648 00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: health insurance companies UH from the anti trust lost. As 649 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 1: you know, it will be a task. Were sixteen to seven, 650 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 1: there really wasn't anybody against it. Well, there were six 651 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 1: members of the Congressional Black Caucus that voted against it 652 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:09,720 Speaker 1: just because they wanted to give it to John Conyers. 653 00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,000 Speaker 1: She's a fund of mine and held this health aspect. 654 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,919 Speaker 1: That yeah. Well, the thing is, it doesn't matter which 655 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,280 Speaker 1: party you're in, you really don't want to be running 656 00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: for elections on the platform of supporting monopolies. That just 657 00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:32,439 Speaker 1: can't be popular thing to do. But now, uh, there 658 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,839 Speaker 1: was a Senate version in the last conference, and I 659 00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: didn't know until this afternoon. We don't have a Senate 660 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:43,520 Speaker 1: bill of this, and I can't. I bet they would 661 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:48,279 Speaker 1: come close to a hundred votes if h McConnell would 662 00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,000 Speaker 1: bring it to the floor. Well, and that's what we're 663 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 1: trying to do right now, is he assigned the right 664 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,840 Speaker 1: person to carry the water in the Senate that this 665 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: is a no brainer wholy as you asked, as you're 666 00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,279 Speaker 1: under and now, Paul, there are a lot of things 667 00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,319 Speaker 1: that are no brainers that never get to the floor 668 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,160 Speaker 1: of the House or Senate for a vote. You know that. 669 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:07,640 Speaker 1: And just because it's a no brainer doesn't mean it's 670 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:10,479 Speaker 1: gonna get to the Senate floor for a vote. And 671 00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,880 Speaker 1: let's face it, if you are a huge insurance company 672 00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: and you like the idea of being the monopoly left standing, 673 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: then you'd probably be willing to to contribute a lot 674 00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,799 Speaker 1: of money to help keep people in power that would 675 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,720 Speaker 1: keep that from the floor to make it law. Here's 676 00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 1: the problem, though, Louis is is that eventually you get 677 00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:34,640 Speaker 1: down to a single pair. And so what is up 678 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,360 Speaker 1: happening is because you end up getting an insurance that 679 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,440 Speaker 1: basically just want insure, so all the rest of them 680 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,040 Speaker 1: go by the wayside. And then what happens the government 681 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: takes it over from the single insurer that's left. There's 682 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 1: room for everybody, and this is a liberating aspect for 683 00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 1: the insurance industry to come up with the new ideas, 684 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: the nuances. That's why you want to get up closer 685 00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 1: to the consumers so that they can see what new 686 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,839 Speaker 1: ideas can be rebrought for It's not hurting people with 687 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,799 Speaker 1: native pre existing conditions. It's bringing the resources that they 688 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 1: need and is at the Piper time and the piper 689 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:12,320 Speaker 1: uh timeframe to get that care that they so desperately 690 00:43:12,400 --> 00:43:15,160 Speaker 1: need and to get people the health care that they 691 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:18,160 Speaker 1: that they want. It's not what the federal governments you dictate. 692 00:43:18,480 --> 00:43:21,319 Speaker 1: It's not what people want. I mean, this is this 693 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: is something that is so critical and so easy and 694 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:27,040 Speaker 1: so basic to understand that it's a win win for everybody. 695 00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: It is, and it ends up creating so much more competition. 696 00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,760 Speaker 1: So I hope the millions of listeners that are faithful 697 00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity that are still hanging with you and me. Uh, 698 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:43,920 Speaker 1: they will start telling their their senator you need to 699 00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:46,240 Speaker 1: help push this bill to the floor of the Senate. 700 00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:50,280 Speaker 1: We're not concerned so much with buying across state lines 701 00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 1: because ours is probably gonna go up. And you know 702 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:57,000 Speaker 1: because seriously, I mean when California, Illinois, some of these 703 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 1: states would have high costs, the ears will come down, 704 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,399 Speaker 1: but some of us with lower costs, even though it's 705 00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,919 Speaker 1: high to us. Uh, it's not going to go down 706 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,520 Speaker 1: just buying across state line. So uh, this is the 707 00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:14,440 Speaker 1: more important bill, the much more important bill. And I 708 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,920 Speaker 1: wanted to get you on and I'm glad you were 709 00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:20,200 Speaker 1: able to come on, Paul, so that we can educate America. 710 00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,040 Speaker 1: And you weren't just a good dentistman, You're a good educator, Paul. 711 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,359 Speaker 1: Thanks for being passionate and explaining it back. Louis. If 712 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: it's one thing that I can give back is to 713 00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:33,800 Speaker 1: teach you. This is a teaching moment. Americans are afraid 714 00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:37,120 Speaker 1: because the federal government has promised everything is delivered on nothing, 715 00:44:37,520 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 1: and this is something that the doctor, the dentist of 716 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:43,759 Speaker 1: town actually can deliver on. This is something that when 717 00:44:43,760 --> 00:44:45,840 Speaker 1: we don't know the right answer, get the dusk people 718 00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 1: forward and empower them to come up with great solutions, 719 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,960 Speaker 1: and that's what America deserves. Well, you are awesome, Paul, 720 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,239 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on the show. That is Paul gost Our, 721 00:44:55,400 --> 00:45:00,480 Speaker 1: Congressman from the fourth District of Arizona. And we will 722 00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: be back after this with the Shawn Hannity Show. This 723 00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,719 Speaker 1: is Louie Gomert.

I do KDBB in Tyler, Texas, 727 00:45:20,719 --> 00:45:25,520 Speaker 1: UM and shout out to Paul Glicer, Mike Edwards and 728 00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,239 Speaker 1: John Sims, all of our friends there. Uh, this is 729 00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:33,600 Speaker 1: a Shaun Hannity Show and I'm surrounded by competence. That's 730 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,680 Speaker 1: a wonderful thing. But let's go to some calls. We're 731 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,359 Speaker 1: gonna be taking your calls the rest of this hour 732 00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:42,759 Speaker 1: and all the next hour. So call eight hundred nine 733 00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:46,480 Speaker 1: four one seven three two six, eight hundred and four one. Sean, 734 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 1: Let's go to Mark in Independence, Missouri. I've always liked 735 00:45:50,640 --> 00:45:54,719 Speaker 1: the sound of independence. I think Harry Truman did too. Yes, 736 00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,359 Speaker 1: good man like you, Louisa, speak to you. You're one 737 00:45:57,360 --> 00:45:59,560 Speaker 1: of the authentic leaders in Congress, one of the few. 738 00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,520 Speaker 1: And it's a calling. The way Bayner treated you just 739 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:03,759 Speaker 1: for doing what you said you would do. It was 740 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 1: a greatview with me than ghost are too. Uh. I 741 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: didn't realize that was great information and the Senate should 742 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: pass that. But speaking of that, doesn't that make sense? 743 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,160 Speaker 1: Mark that the solution is not buying across state lines. 744 00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:19,440 Speaker 1: It's stopping the uh, the the exemption from being from 745 00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,239 Speaker 1: anti trust laws they can monopolize. Yeah, that that that 746 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,840 Speaker 1: would solve a lot of things. And but you're you're 747 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:27,840 Speaker 1: probably skeptical about whether or not the Senate's going to 748 00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,359 Speaker 1: pass a healthcare bill, right. I was just gonna ask 749 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:32,080 Speaker 1: you that. I mean, it passed in the House, and 750 00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: nearly everyone who ran for Senate ran on repealing Obamacare. 751 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,720 Speaker 1: But it seems to be stalling. So many special interests 752 00:46:37,719 --> 00:46:41,279 Speaker 1: are coming forth. There's wobble, either's so called modern Republicans, 753 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 1: there's these fake protests are being people bust in And 754 00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,040 Speaker 1: what do you think it's going to take to get 755 00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,919 Speaker 1: it through there for something other than just Obamacare light. 756 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 1: I mean, are they going to be able to pass it? 757 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,160 Speaker 1: Will it get done before the August recess? Shod they 758 00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,040 Speaker 1: not have an August recess. Where do you think it 759 00:46:56,120 --> 00:46:59,040 Speaker 1: stands right now? Well, it used to be done you 760 00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,680 Speaker 1: and I, but it doesn't scare you. But we've shared 761 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: like mine on this issue, I've been extremely concerned about 762 00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:09,439 Speaker 1: the Senate passing anything. If you remember when Harry Reid 763 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: was in charge, Uh, there were good bills, so many 764 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:16,040 Speaker 1: good bills that came to the Senate, and he did 765 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,839 Speaker 1: his members the favor of never bringing them to the 766 00:47:18,880 --> 00:47:23,000 Speaker 1: floor for a vote because it would have exposed them. Uh. 767 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,799 Speaker 1: They would either have to cast a vote that would 768 00:47:25,800 --> 00:47:28,880 Speaker 1: have got them defeated, or they'd have to vote for 769 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,480 Speaker 1: something that was a good bill that they didn't want 770 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:36,240 Speaker 1: passed because who was donating that kind of thing? But um, 771 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: I look, Mark, I told the President months so ago 772 00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 1: that this is feeling a lot like two thousand and 773 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:48,000 Speaker 1: five when Haster and Fris did not want to uh 774 00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,280 Speaker 1: do a lot of heavy lifting. I think, uh, Paul 775 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,720 Speaker 1: Ryan is capable of doing a lot more heavy lifting 776 00:47:55,760 --> 00:47:59,120 Speaker 1: than was done back then. But uh and I gotta 777 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: I want to give Paul Ryan credit as speaker. He 778 00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:05,840 Speaker 1: brought the ghosts Are bill to the floor and a 779 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:07,919 Speaker 1: lot of people said, well, we're not sure it's gonna 780 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,680 Speaker 1: pass four hundred and sixteen votes. I mean, what Democrat 781 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:16,320 Speaker 1: could afford to say, I'm for monopoly. So it's gonna pass, 782 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,960 Speaker 1: and it will pass like gangbusters if it's brought to 783 00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 1: the floor. But this is where people putting pressure on 784 00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:28,840 Speaker 1: their senators to uh uh, you know, to talk to 785 00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,759 Speaker 1: the majority leader and say, let's bring this to the 786 00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,760 Speaker 1: fore and get it done. With regard to the ghosts 787 00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,480 Speaker 1: are building in the exemption from any trust laws, but 788 00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:42,359 Speaker 1: with regard to repealing Obamacare, I don't know about you, Mark, 789 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:48,239 Speaker 1: I was excited to see that that, you know, the 790 00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:51,600 Speaker 1: President said maybe we should. If the Senate can't do it, 791 00:48:51,680 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: let's just do a repeal and then we'll get the 792 00:48:55,080 --> 00:48:59,360 Speaker 1: replacement done. There are people that have proposed, uh, let's 793 00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:03,560 Speaker 1: just vote to end the tax code as it is 794 00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:06,880 Speaker 1: on a date certain and then that forces us to 795 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,279 Speaker 1: get something as a substitute before then. So that may 796 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: be what we want to do. The thing that gives 797 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,319 Speaker 1: me though, that's what we promised we would do. We 798 00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,760 Speaker 1: did it in the last Congress. It passed the House, 799 00:49:21,200 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: it passed the Senate, and then initially something we're saying, oh, 800 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 1: but we don't think that could get past the bird rule. 801 00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,080 Speaker 1: Yes it can. It did in the last Congress. So 802 00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense that we couldn't go ahead and 803 00:49:32,280 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: bring that same bill back. Just repeal the stinking think 804 00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,680 Speaker 1: on a date certain, and then we have to come 805 00:49:38,760 --> 00:49:40,879 Speaker 1: up with a solution. Thanks so much for the way 806 00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:43,719 Speaker 1: you think, Mark, I love it, and we will be 807 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,239 Speaker 1: right back and take your calls called eight seven, three 808 00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 1: to six.

I don't think so. Thanks 823 00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,319 Speaker 1: for being open minded, Tim, But as smart as you are, 824 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,399 Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to hearing what you've got to say. Well, 825 00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 1: it's it's not going to be good because you have 826 00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:02,920 Speaker 1: wisdom and experience, which is what we need. But as 827 00:51:02,960 --> 00:51:06,399 Speaker 1: far as the American public, we're looking at Washington when 828 00:51:06,400 --> 00:51:10,080 Speaker 1: they say drain the swamp. I mean honestly, every single 829 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:15,120 Speaker 1: decision and vote that the Congressman and senators make, almost 830 00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:19,279 Speaker 1: of them, not you, but of them, the first thing 831 00:51:19,320 --> 00:51:21,480 Speaker 1: they think about is how is this going to affect 832 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,799 Speaker 1: my re election if I vote this way. They're not 833 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,600 Speaker 1: thinking what's best for the American people. They're thinking what's 834 00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:31,239 Speaker 1: best for me to get re elected. Well, that's a 835 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,120 Speaker 1: that's an interesting point to Already in the Senate and 836 00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,080 Speaker 1: we have a majority in the Congress. You're exactly right. 837 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:39,960 Speaker 1: But let me let me give you a little clue. 838 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:43,920 Speaker 1: A little secret. I was surprised when I went to 839 00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:49,320 Speaker 1: orientation within two weeks after winning my first election to Congress. 840 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 1: And uh, the most common used phrase, most frequently used 841 00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:01,000 Speaker 1: statement during the orientation, what ever it was three days 842 00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:06,359 Speaker 1: or whatever, Um was this the best thing you can 843 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:10,600 Speaker 1: do for your country is get reelected. And they kept 844 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,920 Speaker 1: drilling that in. Now. The first time they said it, 845 00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:18,040 Speaker 1: I went, well, that's interesting. And then eventually I'm gonna 846 00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:21,320 Speaker 1: wait a minute, and it started irritating me so much 847 00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,759 Speaker 1: because you know, there are times you just have to 848 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:27,040 Speaker 1: take a stand based on what's right, and it may 849 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:29,840 Speaker 1: lead to you know, you're being thrown out of office, 850 00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:34,239 Speaker 1: but you stand for what's right. I mean, heck down 851 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:38,080 Speaker 1: in Texas, we had a great role model in Sam Houston. 852 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 1: Um in at least role model in some areas. But uh, 853 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,480 Speaker 1: he didn't think that secession was a good idea. He 854 00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,920 Speaker 1: didn't think slavery was a good idea, and uh, he 855 00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,440 Speaker 1: didn't have very many friends when he passed away. Um, 856 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,480 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to take a stand for what's right, 857 00:52:55,680 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: even though it's gonna cost you politically. But but little 858 00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,400 Speaker 1: bit of insight, tim, so that starts being drilled into 859 00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,839 Speaker 1: your head when you first hit Washington, the best thing 860 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:11,399 Speaker 1: you can do for your country is get reelected. When 861 00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:13,400 Speaker 1: the best thing we can do for our country is 862 00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:17,080 Speaker 1: just do what we promised our constituents we were gonna 863 00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:21,320 Speaker 1: do when we got there. And uh, but the indoctor 864 00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,879 Speaker 1: nation starts early. And then the other thing that goes 865 00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:28,239 Speaker 1: along with it is you know, you are so awesome, 866 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:32,279 Speaker 1: You're incredible. You You're the best we've ever had. Um 867 00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,920 Speaker 1: And we just need you to be a team player. See, 868 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,600 Speaker 1: and and we're gonna get these and you're gonna you're 869 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: gonna change the country. There's no limit to what you're 870 00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna be able to do. You're just we just need 871 00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:45,600 Speaker 1: you to be a team player. Then you're gonna get 872 00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:48,920 Speaker 1: the chairmanship, a committee, this, that and the other. And 873 00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: then after you know, I've had guys tell me that. Gee, Louis, 874 00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 1: I went and told him, Look, I've been a team 875 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:57,760 Speaker 1: player for two years. We hadn't done anything that we've said, 876 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: and I got elected first time two years ago, and 877 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,680 Speaker 1: and I'm going to look where it hadn't helped to 878 00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:07,480 Speaker 1: be a team player. Did we misread you? We we 879 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:09,919 Speaker 1: we thought you were a team player. So you're gonna 880 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,759 Speaker 1: be one of these guys that just gotta be out there, 881 00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:14,839 Speaker 1: be a big shot. You're not going to be part 882 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,799 Speaker 1: of the team. No, No, I've been part of the 883 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 1: team and we hadn't done anything. So that is the 884 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 1: kind of indoctrin nation. And it works better than any 885 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:28,799 Speaker 1: kind of threat. It works better than any kind of promise. Um, 886 00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,920 Speaker 1: just be a team player, because everybody wants to be 887 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:33,920 Speaker 1: part of a team, and you certainly want to be 888 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,080 Speaker 1: part of a winning team. But I agree with New Gingrich. 889 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,640 Speaker 1: If we don't get healthcare reform passed and into law, 890 00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:48,040 Speaker 1: if we don't get um tax reform passed into law, 891 00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: then we're we stand a good chance to lose the 892 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:56,920 Speaker 1: majority in the House. I think that's exactly right. So gee, 893 00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:00,920 Speaker 1: what a what an easy thing to do. Just do 894 00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,239 Speaker 1: what we said we would do and we don't lose 895 00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 1: the majority. Um. But anyway, you're right on tim. Uh, 896 00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:12,120 Speaker 1: you're right to be concerned. Uh. People do worry too 897 00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:18,600 Speaker 1: much about the next election. But Uh, I have good 898 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:21,000 Speaker 1: news for all of those people that worry too much 899 00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:25,480 Speaker 1: about the next election. We gotta do is Path's healthcare reform. 900 00:55:25,600 --> 00:55:29,960 Speaker 1: That we gotta repeal Obamacare, like every one of us promised, 901 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:33,560 Speaker 1: And as I said earlier in the show, why not 902 00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:36,439 Speaker 1: do what Trump tweeted out, Let's repeal it and then 903 00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,839 Speaker 1: come back with helping make sure we got a free 904 00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,239 Speaker 1: market coming out of that. All right, thank you, Let's 905 00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:48,640 Speaker 1: let's take another call, um. How about God's call here 906 00:55:48,760 --> 00:55:54,360 Speaker 1: from from Texas, my own district and Nakodoches, Michelle. Welcome 907 00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,680 Speaker 1: to the Sean Hannity Show. Great to have you on. 908 00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: Thank you so much for taking my call, and thank 909 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:04,359 Speaker 1: you for all I'm excited you're listening to Michelle. Thank you. Yeah, 910 00:56:04,480 --> 00:56:09,520 Speaker 1: we really appreciate it. No, my call, um is more about, 911 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:13,600 Speaker 1: you know, what we can do as far as helping people, 912 00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:17,200 Speaker 1: you know, for their health care. It seems to me 913 00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:20,600 Speaker 1: like if the Democrats get re elected and they take 914 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 1: the House, that they are going to impote single payer. 915 00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:29,839 Speaker 1: And Michelle, I hate the term single payer because what 916 00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:33,640 Speaker 1: it means is you're going to have government run health care, 917 00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:39,680 Speaker 1: socialized medicine. Single payer sounds too pleasant for the disaster 918 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,919 Speaker 1: that that ends up being. And but you're right, that's 919 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,680 Speaker 1: where we're going. And if we don't get this going, 920 00:56:45,880 --> 00:56:49,399 Speaker 1: You're exactly right, Michelle. And my thing is I mean, 921 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:52,160 Speaker 1: I've worked in healthcare for thirty years, and you know, 922 00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,600 Speaker 1: we talk every day about what's going on, and it 923 00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:59,840 Speaker 1: seems to us statistically that the sickest people is a 924 00:57:00,239 --> 00:57:04,800 Speaker 1: percent of every health care dollar. And to us, statistically, 925 00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:09,239 Speaker 1: I think that that's probably people over age fifty and 926 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,120 Speaker 1: kids less than age five. That seems to be where 927 00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,280 Speaker 1: you know, the majority of money has spent. And since 928 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:21,280 Speaker 1: we already have systems in place Medicaid and mature do 929 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:25,160 Speaker 1: not just you know, do the age difference so that 930 00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 1: they're covered and then that way it takes the pressure 931 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:33,320 Speaker 1: you know, off the insurance company and um, you know, 932 00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:38,080 Speaker 1: also provide care for those people. I mean, you've got 933 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: you've got a good point, Michell. Uh. The thing is, 934 00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,720 Speaker 1: we have not had free market forces at work. That's 935 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: the most powerful weapon in bringing prices down in anything 936 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: with free market forces or at work. We have not 937 00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:55,800 Speaker 1: had free market forces at work in the health care 938 00:57:55,880 --> 00:58:01,280 Speaker 1: industry for decades now. We haven't because the good best 939 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:06,120 Speaker 1: example of that is you don't know what anything costs. 940 00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:08,720 Speaker 1: You get a bill from a hospital, you get a 941 00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:13,320 Speaker 1: bill from a doctor you know or are from, say 942 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:18,680 Speaker 1: they're radiologists, whatever it is. Uh, you get the bill 943 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: and you see a number that is not what the 944 00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 1: government is gonna pay, It is not what the insurance 945 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 1: company is gonna pay. You don't know what's gonna be paid. 946 00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,960 Speaker 1: And I think until we get back to truth in 947 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,680 Speaker 1: the cost of healthcare, we're never going to be able 948 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,840 Speaker 1: to successfully and consistently bring down the costs. We ought 949 00:58:41,840 --> 00:58:46,080 Speaker 1: to have a requirement that that the costs are posted. 950 00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: If you have advertising online, you ought to have it 951 00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:53,520 Speaker 1: posted online, but absolutely posted at the office, so that 952 00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,000 Speaker 1: when you get treated, you know what that cost is, 953 00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:01,160 Speaker 1: whether you're Blue Cross or at no or you've just 954 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,520 Speaker 1: got cash and that's all there is. Now. I've had 955 00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: some people say that, uh a doctor tell me that, 956 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,919 Speaker 1: uh their contract with an insurance company says it prevented 957 00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:20,320 Speaker 1: them from taking the same amount that that insurance company paid, uh, 958 00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 1: taking that same amount from somebody who's paying cash. Uh. 959 00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,760 Speaker 1: Others have said they dealt with the same insurance company 960 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,000 Speaker 1: and they didn't put that provision in. But for heaven's sake, 961 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:34,200 Speaker 1: a person that's coming in it has a health savings account, 962 00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:37,040 Speaker 1: which is where I think is the solution to getting 963 00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:41,240 Speaker 1: us back toward free market principles and patients having more control. 964 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,080 Speaker 1: Then you have insurance that has a very high deductible, 965 00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:46,680 Speaker 1: but you got cash in your health savings account that 966 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: will cover all of that. Um. So that's where I'd 967 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:53,440 Speaker 1: like to see us get. But in the meantime, until 968 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,200 Speaker 1: we know what we're paying that, you know, nobody chooses 969 00:59:57,280 --> 00:59:59,920 Speaker 1: to go to a doctor because of how much they charge. 970 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,920 Speaker 1: We did when I was a little my mother one 971 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:03,800 Speaker 1: time I said, well, why aren't we going to the 972 01:00:03,840 --> 01:00:06,479 Speaker 1: same dark we did last time in our little town 973 01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:09,960 Speaker 1: of Mountpleasant, Texas. Grown a lot now, but anyway, the 974 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:12,440 Speaker 1: answer was, well, he went up on his prices, and 975 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:16,120 Speaker 1: both of these doctors are just as good. So nobody 976 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:20,600 Speaker 1: does that anymore because one charges more. UM. So I'm 977 01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: hoping that's gonna be a big part of the solution. 978 01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 1: But Michelle, I can't tell you how grateful I am. 979 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:29,960 Speaker 1: You're listening there in Nacodoches. Uh. And by the way, um, 980 01:00:30,080 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 1: we have a new Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson. And 981 01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,439 Speaker 1: some years back when I met him the first time, 982 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 1: I was talking about East Texas and all the gas. 983 01:00:39,360 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: I knew he was president of VEX soon and he 984 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,160 Speaker 1: was saying, yeah, you know, I think the Hanesviell shell 985 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:47,240 Speaker 1: gets over into Nkadelchies County, and I think, you know 986 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:49,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna do a lot of good. And of course 987 01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,480 Speaker 1: Center Texas is they're benefiting from the gas that's there 988 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 1: that nobody knew for so long, and that Bowser shell 989 01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,800 Speaker 1: under that, and he's naming off towns in East Texas 990 01:00:59,840 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: like Timpson and and I'm going away. How do you 991 01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:07,320 Speaker 1: know so much about East Texas? He said, oh, ex 992 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 1: and it sent me to Tyler to work out of 993 01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,280 Speaker 1: that office at one time. So when I saw him recently, 994 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:14,000 Speaker 1: I said, well, there are a lot of people in 995 01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:17,160 Speaker 1: East Texas that are pleased that we have the East 996 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,560 Speaker 1: Texas connection with the Secretary of State. And he said, oh, 997 01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,560 Speaker 1: it runs deep. He said, my twins were brother born 998 01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: in Mother, France at the hospital there in Tyler, so 999 01:01:26,200 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 1: we got in East Texas connection and we will claim that. 1000 01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:35,960 Speaker 1: But let us go to Bryce in Lubbock, Texas. Um, 1001 01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,640 Speaker 1: I understand that you're feeling betrayed by Congress is what 1002 01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:43,040 Speaker 1: it says here on the computer. And gee, I can 1003 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:48,120 Speaker 1: kind of understand your feelings there. Bryce. Yeah, and you 1004 01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 1: know you you made a point just a caller to 1005 01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:56,240 Speaker 1: ago that if they would vote to do what's right, 1006 01:01:57,080 --> 01:02:00,800 Speaker 1: that this would solve our problem in America. And I've 1007 01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:06,800 Speaker 1: always thought that until recently. I don't like Obama Light. 1008 01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:12,080 Speaker 1: I don't like those versions. But the way Congress works 1009 01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:17,240 Speaker 1: is by compromise. And so the congressmen that are saying 1010 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: I cannot vote for that deal. It doesn't do everything 1011 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 1: I want. They kept us from moving the bill forward, 1012 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,439 Speaker 1: and and yet they were voting their conscious on what 1013 01:02:30,600 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: was right and why they got elected. Well, but except that, 1014 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:36,880 Speaker 1: from what I didn't read the Senate bill, Bryce, but 1015 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:41,520 Speaker 1: from what I understand, it was basically Obamacare light. And 1016 01:02:41,560 --> 01:02:45,400 Speaker 1: if if we're going to simply just you know, tweak 1017 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 1: around the edges of Obamacare, then the American people are 1018 01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:51,520 Speaker 1: gonna suffer. We promise. I don't think there's anybody in 1019 01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,680 Speaker 1: the House or Senate that's a Republican that didn't promise 1020 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:58,320 Speaker 1: to do a repeal. Maybe there's somebody, but I don't remember. 1021 01:02:58,880 --> 01:03:02,600 Speaker 1: And I know the press promised to replace. But most 1022 01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:06,000 Speaker 1: of us felt like, if we can repeal Obamacare, we 1023 01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 1: still need to do some things to get a competitive 1024 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 1: free market system at play, and to get costs under 1025 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,240 Speaker 1: control and get back to a doctor patient relationship without 1026 01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,840 Speaker 1: the government or an insurance company between us and our doctor. 1027 01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,640 Speaker 1: I didn't grow up with somebody in the government or 1028 01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,760 Speaker 1: insurance company between me and our doctors and mouth pleasant. 1029 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:32,520 Speaker 1: I mean, that just was unthinkable. But that's all you got. 1030 01:03:32,560 --> 01:03:36,959 Speaker 1: Now you you your medicine. You know what treatments you get. Uh, 1031 01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:40,120 Speaker 1: that's all based on what the insurance company or the 1032 01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:45,160 Speaker 1: government says. But BRYCE understand your feeling. But we have 1033 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:51,200 Speaker 1: got to get Obamacare repealed, period exclamation point. We've got 1034 01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: to get it done. We promised. We just got to 1035 01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 1: do it. This is the Sean Hannity Show.

This is Louie Gomert. This 1065 01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,200 Speaker 1: is the Sean Hannity Show. This is Louie Gomert sitting 1066 01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:43,840 Speaker 1: in for my friends Sean, and we're glad you're listening in. 1067 01:05:44,240 --> 01:05:47,400 Speaker 1: You know, there's sometimes uh it's just great to talk 1068 01:05:47,640 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: people that are so uh informative and so well educated 1069 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:57,000 Speaker 1: in areas as so wise to what's really going on. 1070 01:05:57,640 --> 01:05:59,880 Speaker 1: And then if you throw in a sense of hume 1071 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,080 Speaker 1: or and just being a really fun individual, what you 1072 01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:08,120 Speaker 1: get is a guy named Dr Arthur Laugher, and he 1073 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:12,400 Speaker 1: was founder chairman of Laugher Associates. Uh was a member 1074 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: of President Reagan's Economic Policy Advisory Board. He's the one 1075 01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 1: that told President Reagan that he needed to bring down 1076 01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:24,240 Speaker 1: taxes by at least thirty percent in order to turn 1077 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:28,960 Speaker 1: the economy around. And that's exactly what it took. But uh, 1078 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,360 Speaker 1: the deal he made with Tip O'Neill actually kept it 1079 01:06:32,400 --> 01:06:38,000 Speaker 1: from kicking fully in until nineteen three and uh eighty three, 1080 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:43,680 Speaker 1: just as doctor Laugher said, that's when the economy recovered. 1081 01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 1: But anyway, I ask uh my friend Dr Laugher if 1082 01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:53,120 Speaker 1: he would come on the show because there's something particular 1083 01:06:53,320 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to talk to him about. Uh Art Laugher, 1084 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:01,200 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show, very much. Louis, it's 1085 01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:03,160 Speaker 1: great to hear your voice, it's great to be on 1086 01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,680 Speaker 1: the show. I'm a big fan of both of yours. Well, 1087 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, I'm a fan of yours. And uh, that'll 1088 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:12,400 Speaker 1: get you in trouble in some circles, Louis. Well, no, no, 1089 01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:17,120 Speaker 1: not in any circles. I care about that. But I'm 1090 01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 1: telling you, uh, back uh years ago. You well, you 1091 01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 1: have spoken to Republicans and Democrats alike. You just want 1092 01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,760 Speaker 1: good policy, you want good laws put in place. But 1093 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:39,040 Speaker 1: what has been shouted so often and murmured behind closed 1094 01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,919 Speaker 1: doors so many times? Oh no, uh, we may get 1095 01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,200 Speaker 1: a bad score from CBO. It'll kill our chances of 1096 01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: passing this bill. And one of the two things that 1097 01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:54,720 Speaker 1: the President and Republicans alike promised is a big tax reform. 1098 01:07:54,840 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: Let's throw out the old huge, uh income tax code 1099 01:07:59,520 --> 01:08:05,280 Speaker 1: and let's put in a simple system. But then constantly 1100 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: the line comes back, but what about the CBO score. 1101 01:08:10,480 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 1: We'll get a terrible CBO score. But what But we 1102 01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:17,040 Speaker 1: need to cut taxes so the economy can take off. 1103 01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 1: But what about the CBO score. What's your answer to that? Well, 1104 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think the CBO should do the scoring. 1105 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 1: I really do not. I mean, they are a branch 1106 01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:29,280 Speaker 1: of government. They should do the accounting, and that's very correct, 1107 01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:32,479 Speaker 1: but they shouldn't make the political estimates as to what's 1108 01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,320 Speaker 1: going to happen, because then they're just part of the 1109 01:08:34,320 --> 01:08:37,639 Speaker 1: political process. And you'll find exactly what you say, Louis, 1110 01:08:37,960 --> 01:08:40,280 Speaker 1: is that congressman and senators will try to follow the 1111 01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,120 Speaker 1: CBO score rather than doing what's right for the country. 1112 01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:45,920 Speaker 1: We need a low rate, broad based flat tax and 1113 01:08:45,960 --> 01:08:47,280 Speaker 1: get the hell out of the way and let the 1114 01:08:47,320 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: economy grow no matter what the CBO or anyone else says. 1115 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,320 Speaker 1: That's so good, well, and just let listeners in. It's 1116 01:08:55,320 --> 01:08:59,320 Speaker 1: been maybe five years or so ago. I had asked 1117 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,640 Speaker 1: he wasn't speaker then he was chairman of the Budget Committee, 1118 01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,799 Speaker 1: if he would agree to sit down at a dinner 1119 01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,800 Speaker 1: with you and me and Steve Moore to talk about 1120 01:09:11,040 --> 01:09:15,400 Speaker 1: how we could get rid of CBO and have actual 1121 01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:20,519 Speaker 1: competition in scoring, where we could score the scores. And 1122 01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:25,240 Speaker 1: we had a fantastic dinner that night in Washington, and 1123 01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:31,640 Speaker 1: Paul was intrigued, and you took it so seriously. You 1124 01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 1: actually created a model how that could be done. Didn't 1125 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 1: you have I do have a model how that could 1126 01:09:37,600 --> 01:09:39,800 Speaker 1: be done, and the model is very clear. It's it's 1127 01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:41,800 Speaker 1: sort of common sense. And now it's not a common 1128 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: sense model, it's a math model. It's based on actual data, 1129 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,639 Speaker 1: all of that stuff. It's done professionally and academically correctly, 1130 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,959 Speaker 1: but it comes out just as you and I would expect. 1131 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,000 Speaker 1: People don't work to pay taxes. They work to get 1132 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:58,000 Speaker 1: what they can after tax, and it's that very after 1133 01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 1: tax incentives that creeze the growth and output unemployment in 1134 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,200 Speaker 1: this country. I've looked at the average tax r into 1135 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:08,440 Speaker 1: the US income tax rate. It's very statistically significant and powerful, 1136 01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,800 Speaker 1: and the higher the rate, the worst the growth. The 1137 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:13,000 Speaker 1: lower the rate, the better the growth. I've looked at 1138 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,800 Speaker 1: the progressivity of the tax calls. Louis the same thing. 1139 01:10:16,120 --> 01:10:19,160 Speaker 1: The more progressive your tax codes, the worst the performance 1140 01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:22,800 Speaker 1: of the economy. Look the Social Security tax, the corporate tax. 1141 01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,720 Speaker 1: I've looked at all of these, the highest income tax rate. 1142 01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:29,280 Speaker 1: They all are extremely important and affect growth in this 1143 01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,400 Speaker 1: country exactly the way you and I would think they were, 1144 01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,839 Speaker 1: although they were developed from models, from maths, from data, 1145 01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 1: and without bias, without prejudice, without tilt, and it's just 1146 01:10:40,200 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 1: amazing how they work and work really well. Well, what's 1147 01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 1: your answer to people that say, we can't just pass 1148 01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:52,720 Speaker 1: a flat tax without adding a border adjustment tax, or 1149 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,280 Speaker 1: are getting a bunch of money back from healthcare reform 1150 01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 1: so that we can pay for the tax cuts. Your 1151 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,640 Speaker 1: response to very honestly, as you, if you have a 1152 01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:07,280 Speaker 1: good tax cut, you'll cut taxes this year, and you'll 1153 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: pay for it with very rapid economic growth in the future, 1154 01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:12,320 Speaker 1: not this year where you destroy the growth that will 1155 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,320 Speaker 1: be created by the tax cut. It's just I don't 1156 01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: think of an entrepreneur development business. Does he need to 1157 01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:21,519 Speaker 1: make profits in the first first minute of the business. No, 1158 01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:25,000 Speaker 1: he's got to put in money, capital, effort, time, et cetera. 1159 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:26,880 Speaker 1: And then what he hopes for is down three years 1160 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 1: down the road, he makes money. And that's exactly what 1161 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:32,000 Speaker 1: you do with Texas. Is exactly what we did with Reagan, 1162 01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:34,320 Speaker 1: what we did with Thatcher, and what we've done in 1163 01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:38,160 Speaker 1: all these other cases where Kennedy and it works beautifully. Louis, 1164 01:11:38,360 --> 01:11:40,280 Speaker 1: you think it would get us back up to two 1165 01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 1: growth years and then you make your money in the 1166 01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,000 Speaker 1: in the out years. You think we'd get us back 1167 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:49,439 Speaker 1: up to two growth or maybe even the number Forgibby, 1168 01:11:49,640 --> 01:11:53,439 Speaker 1: I hate it from January one when you said the 1169 01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:59,720 Speaker 1: tax cuts took effect from January one three until June four, 1170 01:11:59,720 --> 01:12:03,120 Speaker 1: and that's eighteen months. That's a year and a half's 1171 01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:06,479 Speaker 1: worth of a period there in that eighteen months. How 1172 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:10,000 Speaker 1: much did the US economy grow in real terms g 1173 01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,680 Speaker 1: n GDP growth. That's a good question. Let's the answer, Well, 1174 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:21,920 Speaker 1: the answer a year and a half. Louis I did 1175 01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 1: not realize. I knew it was growth. She's under Kennedy. 1176 01:12:25,960 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: It happened to harding and college. And let me tell 1177 01:12:28,280 --> 01:12:30,920 Speaker 1: you the problems you solved with economic growth like that, 1178 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,840 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, people have good, high paying jobs 1179 01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:34,920 Speaker 1: that they're taking off welfare. All of a sudden, you 1180 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,800 Speaker 1: get tons of revenues pouring into the conference and you 1181 01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,680 Speaker 1: just solved and state and lower government's become solvent. There 1182 01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:45,559 Speaker 1: are no more Illinois or Wisconsin's or but some say 1183 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,280 Speaker 1: West Virginia's or Kentucky. Like Ireland, they had a low 1184 01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,519 Speaker 1: tax rate and then they got into trouble. And some 1185 01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:55,280 Speaker 1: point back to the Reagan years and say, hey, they 1186 01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:59,400 Speaker 1: ended up running a deficit. But my understanding is that 1187 01:12:59,520 --> 01:13:03,439 Speaker 1: as the money poured into Ireland, or poured in during 1188 01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:07,360 Speaker 1: the Reagan years. You had democrats here that we're spending 1189 01:13:07,360 --> 01:13:10,639 Speaker 1: the money. They just got giddy. He's spending more money 1190 01:13:10,680 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 1: than I was very involved in the Irish tax cuts known. 1191 01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:18,280 Speaker 1: We cut the corporate right down, the fantastic what they 1192 01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,799 Speaker 1: called it the Celtic Tiger. And during the Great Recession 1193 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:24,040 Speaker 1: of two thousand they had a really big hit. They 1194 01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:27,799 Speaker 1: got hit really hard. They are the fastest growing country 1195 01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,760 Speaker 1: in the European Union with a twelve and afrecent corporate 1196 01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 1: Why the hell don't we just do that? To Louis, 1197 01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 1: it makes sense, Well, there was everyone is investing in Ironman. Well, yeah, 1198 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,559 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I do know this. There were 1199 01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:45,720 Speaker 1: several of us. There were several of us in the 1200 01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:51,040 Speaker 1: capital is always Dublin. You said, I was funny when 1201 01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:54,160 Speaker 1: you are funny and that the capital is always Dublin. 1202 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:57,439 Speaker 1: That's good, thank you. Well, now there were several of us. 1203 01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:02,040 Speaker 1: Went over to China some years back. Uh, trying to 1204 01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,080 Speaker 1: see why so many businesses were going to China. I 1205 01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,040 Speaker 1: thought I threw the knew the answer. I thought it 1206 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,080 Speaker 1: was a waste time. Well, it's the unions it's the regulations. Well, 1207 01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:13,800 Speaker 1: those were huge problems, but over and over, the number 1208 01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:18,080 Speaker 1: one answer was that the tax, the corporate tax rate, 1209 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,519 Speaker 1: just made it too attractive to go to China. In 1210 01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:28,200 Speaker 1: seventy in China, of all business went through state run enterprises. 1211 01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 1: Today it's down to we. That's called a tax cut. 1212 01:14:33,880 --> 01:14:36,920 Speaker 1: That's why China grows like mad and we don't. Well. 1213 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:41,120 Speaker 1: And it's also why I've encouraged the president don't let 1214 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:44,679 Speaker 1: people talk you out of the fifteen percent corporate tax, 1215 01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:49,920 Speaker 1: because that will suck businesses back into this country. Uh, 1216 01:14:50,520 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: much better than any terror for any tax or anything 1217 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,000 Speaker 1: else will Yeah, great, Louis. You know you want to 1218 01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:58,080 Speaker 1: pull businesses in. You don't want to hit him in. 1219 01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:03,080 Speaker 1: That's so true. Well, it makes me excited thinking about 1220 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,800 Speaker 1: the possibilities if we will just go ahead and do 1221 01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:12,840 Speaker 1: the tax cut, get get the taxes down. Uh. You know, 1222 01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:16,639 Speaker 1: with all of the talk that Obama had about the 1223 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:21,360 Speaker 1: evil rich, he finally admitted on he said on video, 1224 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 1: admitting that and it was the first time in our 1225 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:29,040 Speaker 1: history he had to admit of all the income went 1226 01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,960 Speaker 1: to the top one per cent while he was present. 1227 01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:37,559 Speaker 1: Under his his mean spirited position, towards the wealthy. He 1228 01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 1: separated the wealthy from the floor even further. And what 1229 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 1: you're talking about is when you give people a tax 1230 01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,280 Speaker 1: cut and let them use their own money, the whole 1231 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:52,639 Speaker 1: economy rebounds. Everybody does America. The dream of America, Louis 1232 01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:55,120 Speaker 1: has always been to make the poor rich, not to 1233 01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:59,040 Speaker 1: make the rich poor. And Obama substituted making the rich 1234 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: poor for good common sense economics is how do you 1235 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,519 Speaker 1: make the poor rich? I mean, Kennedy put it so 1236 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:07,240 Speaker 1: beautifully when he said the best form of welfare is 1237 01:16:07,240 --> 01:16:09,880 Speaker 1: still a good, high paying job. And I wish the 1238 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,160 Speaker 1: CBO would understand that you come from Texas. You know 1239 01:16:13,320 --> 01:16:15,720 Speaker 1: what you do. I come from Tennessee, where we just 1240 01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:19,599 Speaker 1: clean house because we have lowest, the lowest Texas taxes 1241 01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:22,520 Speaker 1: in the country. Well, you moved from California to Nashville, 1242 01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 1: isn't that amazing? I moved from from karl Mark City 1243 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:32,280 Speaker 1: to Adam Smith Village. Well that's fantastic. But but anyway, 1244 01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:35,000 Speaker 1: I just had to have you with your wisdom on 1245 01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,880 Speaker 1: because so many in Washington keep saying, we got to 1246 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,280 Speaker 1: have the border adjustment tax. We've got to have this tax. 1247 01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:44,879 Speaker 1: We we need to keep some of the Obamacare taxes 1248 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,400 Speaker 1: because we you know, we got to keep that to 1249 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,080 Speaker 1: you be able to cover you know what our tax cuts. No, 1250 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,120 Speaker 1: we don't one favor. I've got one policy that I'd 1251 01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 1: love to have you a spouse and see what you 1252 01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,360 Speaker 1: think about it. You know the problem with Congress often 1253 01:16:59,360 --> 01:17:02,160 Speaker 1: as they spend a people's money, that's all the teops 1254 01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:04,680 Speaker 1: are responding to radical left wing groups or whatever it 1255 01:17:04,760 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: is they're My view is that Congress should be like 1256 01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:11,040 Speaker 1: all the rest of us. We should pay them on commission. 1257 01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 1: If we have a three percent growth rate, I have 1258 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 1: no problem with Congress genness pay four percent. They should 1259 01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:20,200 Speaker 1: get double their pay, five percent, triple their pay. But 1260 01:17:20,240 --> 01:17:22,880 Speaker 1: if they only get two percent, no pay, If they 1261 01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 1: make one percent, they owe the people that their pay back, 1262 01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:29,080 Speaker 1: and I think you should put them because if they 1263 01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,920 Speaker 1: had to spend the money and bear the consequences, they'd 1264 01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 1: never vote the way they Yeah, if we got paid 1265 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:40,120 Speaker 1: on commission, just like all the rest of us, well 1266 01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:43,280 Speaker 1: that would sure make people look at what actually drives 1267 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:46,719 Speaker 1: the economy and what hurts it. But actually even vaccine 1268 01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 1: waters would to vote for correctly have a very big 1269 01:17:50,040 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 1: taste for money. Well, when we were talking some years 1270 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:57,360 Speaker 1: back about having competition in scoring instead of having CBO, 1271 01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,960 Speaker 1: you know, and have university whether SMB or Moody's others 1272 01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:05,960 Speaker 1: might get involved, but score the scores. And then you suggested, 1273 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,120 Speaker 1: because you're always into having competition, you said, yeah, and 1274 01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 1: in fact, if somebody gets within a small marginal area, 1275 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 1: and you could pay them a bonus for being so 1276 01:18:15,920 --> 01:18:19,599 Speaker 1: close to what and and we would score the scores, 1277 01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,440 Speaker 1: and then we would be able to know more accurately 1278 01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:26,160 Speaker 1: what a what a bill really would most likely do 1279 01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:29,280 Speaker 1: to the Ecomntany it's like Merritt pay for good teachers. Yeah, 1280 01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,559 Speaker 1: it's like, oh wait, I didn't think we could do 1281 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,599 Speaker 1: that for the top five percent of kids in school 1282 01:18:34,880 --> 01:18:36,960 Speaker 1: on their s A T scores, giving a big bonus 1283 01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,040 Speaker 1: for doing really well in school instead of just for 1284 01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 1: playing basketball. Well, but that sounds like your prejudice against 1285 01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:44,960 Speaker 1: bad teachers, and we can't go there. I'm not prejudiced 1286 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,639 Speaker 1: against them. I just want to pay them with that's 1287 01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,640 Speaker 1: all that they can be fine. Bad teachers have a 1288 01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,160 Speaker 1: role in life. Darker Arthur Laugher, I love you.

Just do the 1292 01:19:04,200 --> 01:19:08,679 Speaker 1: tax cut corporate tax. That's it.

It 1301 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 1: is my pleasure really think this more often. I love 1302 01:19:51,800 --> 01:19:55,040 Speaker 1: do anything I can for my friend Sean. But thank you. 1303 01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:59,960 Speaker 1: What's your observation about healthcare? Well, I think, I think 1304 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:03,439 Speaker 1: to write on I think the fact that uh, you go, 1305 01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:06,200 Speaker 1: I go, but someone else pays. I think if we 1306 01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,840 Speaker 1: all went out to our restaurant and someone else was 1307 01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,559 Speaker 1: paying at the end of the meal, the bill would 1308 01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:13,479 Speaker 1: be at a lot higher than if each of us 1309 01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 1: were chipping in our own money, But the bills that 1310 01:20:16,800 --> 01:20:21,719 Speaker 1: you get from healthcare, that's not actually what gets paid you. 1311 01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,439 Speaker 1: You know, we don't even know what gets paid by 1312 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:27,479 Speaker 1: the insurance companies in the government. That's a separate bill 1313 01:20:27,600 --> 01:20:32,120 Speaker 1: that we're not allowed to actually see that if you 1314 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:35,400 Speaker 1: even ask, they can't tell you. I have asked, and 1315 01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,919 Speaker 1: that's a great point. I've asked people that I deeply respect, 1316 01:20:39,040 --> 01:20:42,320 Speaker 1: heads of hospitals. You know how much for a single bead, 1317 01:20:42,560 --> 01:20:46,000 Speaker 1: single room? H Well, Louis, it just depends, you know 1318 01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:49,639 Speaker 1: what what's the disease is that Medicare, Medicaid? Is it 1319 01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, Blue Cross Anthem? Who's paying? And what kind 1320 01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,880 Speaker 1: of policy do they have? And and and they are 1321 01:20:55,880 --> 01:21:00,559 Speaker 1: really being honest, they cannot tell what it actually costs. 1322 01:21:00,960 --> 01:21:03,280 Speaker 1: Well they ought to be able to tell. We need 1323 01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:07,120 Speaker 1: to get it to where that you know what you're paying. 1324 01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:10,839 Speaker 1: And I think that's where health savings accounts makes a difference. 1325 01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,400 Speaker 1: I think if people see, look, I've been paying eight 1326 01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month, or some people I'm hearing them 1327 01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:18,840 Speaker 1: paid a thousand dollars a month having sucked out of 1328 01:21:18,920 --> 01:21:23,400 Speaker 1: their their check for healthcare. Wow, you you know how 1329 01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,559 Speaker 1: good you'd be sitting ten years later after you were 1330 01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:30,120 Speaker 1: putting say ten of your twelve thousand dollars into health 1331 01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:36,320 Speaker 1: savings account and just had you know, um catastrophic insurance 1332 01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:38,920 Speaker 1: over the top of that, you'd be so much better off. 1333 01:21:56,720 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 1: He gives you the latest breaking news when he it's 1334 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:05,680 Speaker 1: the air. This is the Sean Hannity Show. This is 1335 01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:08,639 Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. This is Louis Goldmert sitting in 1336 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,720 Speaker 1: for Sean. And we're glad to have you here. I'm 1337 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:17,479 Speaker 1: the lowly legislator Louis from East Texas and glad to 1338 01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:21,439 Speaker 1: be sitting in for my friend Shan. Um. We're glad 1339 01:22:21,479 --> 01:22:24,760 Speaker 1: you're here. There is so much going on in Washington. 1340 01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:28,760 Speaker 1: Of course, the most important things are going on across America. 1341 01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:32,200 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that we do so much in Washington that 1342 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:36,840 Speaker 1: has an adverse effect on what's going on around the country. 1343 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 1: But folks, you've heard so much about the hacking of 1344 01:22:43,479 --> 01:22:49,520 Speaker 1: the d n C, the hacking of the the Democrats 1345 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:54,200 Speaker 1: email and we know that Wiki Leaks got ahold of them, 1346 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:59,360 Speaker 1: and and uh so much was published. And of course 1347 01:22:59,439 --> 01:23:02,640 Speaker 1: Hillary come plain that when people found out she'd been 1348 01:23:02,720 --> 01:23:07,799 Speaker 1: lying about some things that hurt her voting and that's shocking, shocking, 1349 01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:13,280 Speaker 1: I tell you. But anyway, something that has really been 1350 01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:18,679 Speaker 1: uh basically pretty low under the radar. The Daily Caller 1351 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:23,559 Speaker 1: has been um one news group that just has pursued it. 1352 01:23:23,800 --> 01:23:28,520 Speaker 1: And they have a reporter that's been quite the investigator, 1353 01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:34,559 Speaker 1: and he's been digging stuff out when things just I'm 1354 01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:39,479 Speaker 1: amazed more people aren't really digging like Luke Rociak is. 1355 01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,960 Speaker 1: And we have him with us on the show. He's 1356 01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:47,679 Speaker 1: an investigative reporter for the Daily Caller News Foundation. He's 1357 01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:54,040 Speaker 1: been reporting on a Pakistani family who allegedly misused their 1358 01:23:54,080 --> 01:23:58,560 Speaker 1: position as I t workers for dozens of House Democrats, 1359 01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:03,240 Speaker 1: not a single Republican and uh apparently been paid over 1360 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,240 Speaker 1: four million dollars. That's what's being alleged since July two 1361 01:24:07,240 --> 01:24:12,280 Speaker 1: thousand nine. Luke, Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Thanks 1362 01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:15,519 Speaker 1: for having me. Well, you have done amazing work. I've 1363 01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,600 Speaker 1: quoted you many times, UH read from your articles on 1364 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:23,880 Speaker 1: the House floor trying to get people, uh to be 1365 01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,920 Speaker 1: at least somewhat curious about what is going on. I mean, 1366 01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:32,160 Speaker 1: this is the kind of stuff that you wouldn't believe 1367 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:36,880 Speaker 1: would happen in real life, that that members of Congress 1368 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:43,720 Speaker 1: or anybody of sound mind would hire somebody from any country, 1369 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:48,040 Speaker 1: but you know, Pakistan happens to be the country and 1370 01:24:48,200 --> 01:24:53,960 Speaker 1: have them work on their computers. And apparently these people 1371 01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:58,320 Speaker 1: never had a proper background check, yet they had total 1372 01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:03,120 Speaker 1: access to the members computers. Uh why don't you tell 1373 01:25:03,200 --> 01:25:08,880 Speaker 1: us what got you to dig in on this? Well, 1374 01:25:09,080 --> 01:25:11,479 Speaker 1: like you said, I mean the House basically their information 1375 01:25:11,520 --> 01:25:14,080 Speaker 1: technology systems have been compromised, but you wouldn't know it 1376 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,400 Speaker 1: from what you see in the media. Um. Back in 1377 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,160 Speaker 1: early March, there was a tiny little story in Politico 1378 01:25:20,280 --> 01:25:23,800 Speaker 1: that said, uh, quote, five House staffers are accused of 1379 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: stealing equipment from members office and committing serious, potentially illegal 1380 01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: violations on the House i T network. And that was 1381 01:25:30,120 --> 01:25:33,720 Speaker 1: enough to get you going. Yeah, they got me going. 1382 01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:35,880 Speaker 1: And I heard that they were brothers. Originally, you know, 1383 01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:37,760 Speaker 1: the media buzz Feed did a little thing on it 1384 01:25:37,800 --> 01:25:39,800 Speaker 1: and they said some House I T employees have been 1385 01:25:40,400 --> 01:25:43,080 Speaker 1: uh implicated than their brothers, but they didn't name them. 1386 01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 1: And I was able to find out who's the only 1387 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:49,040 Speaker 1: group of four brothers that works for Congress or three brothers? 1388 01:25:49,560 --> 01:25:51,679 Speaker 1: And it turns out to be these guys Imron, Juan 1389 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:55,840 Speaker 1: uh Jamal Along and a Bidawan. And then there's also 1390 01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,439 Speaker 1: they had two of their wives on the payroll as well. 1391 01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,559 Speaker 1: So it's you, it's a nepotism on its face, but 1392 01:26:01,640 --> 01:26:05,599 Speaker 1: it goes well beyond that. Um. And basically, the more 1393 01:26:05,640 --> 01:26:07,879 Speaker 1: that I looked into these guys, there was red flags 1394 01:26:07,920 --> 01:26:10,800 Speaker 1: every single aspect of their background. Well, like what kind 1395 01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:15,760 Speaker 1: of red flags Luke Well for example, Uh, one of 1396 01:26:15,760 --> 01:26:18,840 Speaker 1: them has a criminal record? They have, oh, that is 1397 01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 1: a definite red flag mark goodness. And these are people 1398 01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:28,840 Speaker 1: that have total uh control over an access to the 1399 01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,840 Speaker 1: members of Congress's computer system, all of their computer the 1400 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,960 Speaker 1: information in their computer systems. Now, I've been told if 1401 01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 1: you can, if you have access to the congressional computer 1402 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:47,040 Speaker 1: system for one member, then it's not that hard to 1403 01:26:47,080 --> 01:26:51,000 Speaker 1: hack into more of the system itself, if you heard 1404 01:26:51,040 --> 01:26:54,840 Speaker 1: anything on that. I haven't heard that. But I know 1405 01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:57,360 Speaker 1: for a fact that these are the guys who set 1406 01:26:57,400 --> 01:26:59,639 Speaker 1: up the email accounts for the members and their staff, 1407 01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:04,519 Speaker 1: and they worked for well over twenty members, uh, And 1408 01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,559 Speaker 1: I know that they could read all the emails sent 1409 01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 1: and received by those twenty members, who all Democrats and 1410 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 1: some of them are on the Homeland Security Committee and 1411 01:27:11,960 --> 01:27:15,840 Speaker 1: the Intelligence Committee and the Foreign Affairs Committee. And these 1412 01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:18,200 Speaker 1: guys mostly didn't show up for work. By all accounts, 1413 01:27:18,200 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: it was partially a ghost employee ran, but they also 1414 01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:24,479 Speaker 1: were operating this card dealership that took a hundred thousand 1415 01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:29,120 Speaker 1: dollars from an Iraqi politician named Ali Alatar, who is 1416 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 1: fugitive from the U. S Department of Justice. So while 1417 01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:35,439 Speaker 1: they're on the payroll of House Intelligence members and they 1418 01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:38,120 Speaker 1: can read Members of congresses emails, they're taking money from 1419 01:27:38,160 --> 01:27:41,479 Speaker 1: an Iraqi politician. Well, and when there's somebody, I mean, 1420 01:27:41,520 --> 01:27:44,720 Speaker 1: that's bad enough. But wasn't there somebody that uh the 1421 01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,320 Speaker 1: one brother's old money too? And they got him on 1422 01:27:48,560 --> 01:27:53,439 Speaker 1: the payroll of the Congress. Yeah, you know, there's this 1423 01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,519 Speaker 1: guy that was working at McDonald's and they put him 1424 01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:01,200 Speaker 1: on the payroll for Congress as an I T guy. So, um, 1425 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, we do hear a lot about hacking of 1426 01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:06,320 Speaker 1: you know, the d n C and all these various 1427 01:28:06,360 --> 01:28:08,960 Speaker 1: things that are very real and very serious, and and 1428 01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:11,719 Speaker 1: part of his pattern is that there was a serious 1429 01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:15,599 Speaker 1: security breach in the House Representatives and uh, no one's 1430 01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 1: talking about it, and and then the members to put 1431 01:28:17,960 --> 01:28:20,559 Speaker 1: these guys on the payroll, including the McDonald's an employee. 1432 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:23,240 Speaker 1: They refused to answer any questions. So it's kind of like, 1433 01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:25,680 Speaker 1: did that guy really show up? I mean he was 1434 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:27,680 Speaker 1: flipping burgers? Why did you think you were paying it? 1435 01:28:27,800 --> 01:28:30,240 Speaker 1: Did he? What did he do with your computers? And 1436 01:28:30,320 --> 01:28:32,160 Speaker 1: if he wasn't doing it because he didn't know how, 1437 01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: then who was it that had full access to your computers? Well, 1438 01:28:35,600 --> 01:28:39,040 Speaker 1: what was your understanding about the stolen the equipment that 1439 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:43,200 Speaker 1: was alleged to be stolen for those computers that they 1440 01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,920 Speaker 1: had taken off the Capitol Hill or or allegedly what 1441 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:51,280 Speaker 1: your understanding? You know, that's a whole different thing that 1442 01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:54,160 Speaker 1: I don't really know much about at all. Um, when 1443 01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,160 Speaker 1: you look at the house payroll records, you can see 1444 01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,360 Speaker 1: that these guys were being paid as much as chiefs 1445 01:28:58,360 --> 01:29:00,120 Speaker 1: of staff. They were making a hundred and sick the 1446 01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:04,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars and more um. And that's the highest that 1447 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:06,800 Speaker 1: a congressional staffer is allowed to make because other than that, 1448 01:29:06,800 --> 01:29:08,559 Speaker 1: they'd be making more than members of Congress if they 1449 01:29:08,600 --> 01:29:11,439 Speaker 1: made any more than that. So, but that were getting 1450 01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:15,559 Speaker 1: part time pay from various different Democrats, right, and that's 1451 01:29:15,560 --> 01:29:19,120 Speaker 1: how that worked, right, And so they had access to 1452 01:29:19,280 --> 01:29:25,000 Speaker 1: all those different um members of Congress email to their systems, 1453 01:29:25,160 --> 01:29:30,800 Speaker 1: and apparently they were able to access that remotely, weren't they. Yeah, 1454 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:35,040 Speaker 1: you know, apparently they were basically taking all of Members 1455 01:29:35,080 --> 01:29:37,719 Speaker 1: of Congresses data and funneling it to an off site server. 1456 01:29:38,479 --> 01:29:42,160 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, basically I've heard that they replaced 1457 01:29:42,240 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 1: computers with what they call SEIN clients. So basically the 1458 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:47,880 Speaker 1: staff are sitting there and as essentially a monitor, but 1459 01:29:47,920 --> 01:29:49,920 Speaker 1: all the data is stored somewhere else, which is not 1460 01:29:50,080 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 1: in the Congress's possession. It's not in conformance with the rules. Um, 1461 01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,320 Speaker 1: no one knew about it. And basically they were running 1462 01:29:57,320 --> 01:29:59,479 Speaker 1: a server that it could have been out of their house, 1463 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,519 Speaker 1: it could have been somewhere else, but they had full 1464 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:03,679 Speaker 1: control over it. And there they had copies of all 1465 01:30:03,720 --> 01:30:07,120 Speaker 1: these Members of congresses emails. And now the Capitol Police 1466 01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: are have announced that their suspects in a criminal investigation, 1467 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:13,160 Speaker 1: but members of Congress who they worked for have been 1468 01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:17,880 Speaker 1: very reluctant to uh condemn them or talk about this. 1469 01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:23,040 Speaker 1: And the reaction is very strange. You think when someone's 1470 01:30:23,040 --> 01:30:26,720 Speaker 1: staff has done something bad, you condemn it, you forcefully 1471 01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:28,840 Speaker 1: condemn it, and you move on that these guys have 1472 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:33,080 Speaker 1: really downpladed in. That is strange that they have copies 1473 01:30:33,120 --> 01:30:36,360 Speaker 1: of their emails. That is very strange. Well, it's not 1474 01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:39,200 Speaker 1: strange that the Democrats wouldn't condemn it, because these guys 1475 01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:44,320 Speaker 1: have copies of their emails, But it is interesting that 1476 01:30:44,479 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 1: Republican leadership has chosen just to keep this downplayed. Uh. 1477 01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:55,360 Speaker 1: Just from my experience, if this had been Republicans that 1478 01:30:55,479 --> 01:31:02,680 Speaker 1: had hired Pakistani's who uh came in and got paid 1479 01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:07,439 Speaker 1: and they were um charged with the kind of things 1480 01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:13,560 Speaker 1: that have been charged or ledged here and under investigation now, uh, 1481 01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,879 Speaker 1: I think they'd be having press conferences every week talking 1482 01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 1: about how outrageous this is exposing the Congressional um computer 1483 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:30,000 Speaker 1: system to this kind of access by people that absolutely 1484 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:34,560 Speaker 1: should not have had access to to this kind of information. 1485 01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 1: But the response has been, well, but the people that 1486 01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:42,400 Speaker 1: are on the Intelligence Committee and on Homeland Security, UH, 1487 01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:49,599 Speaker 1: they weren't accessing that information through uh their regular email 1488 01:31:49,720 --> 01:31:53,400 Speaker 1: that was all protected and and that hasn't been compromised. 1489 01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:56,160 Speaker 1: But you know that there are emails that go back 1490 01:31:56,200 --> 01:32:02,559 Speaker 1: and forth that don't actually mentioned the classified material. But 1491 01:32:03,240 --> 01:32:08,200 Speaker 1: actually can give indications of what's going on. So it's 1492 01:32:08,280 --> 01:32:11,080 Speaker 1: just amazing to me that more people have not really 1493 01:32:11,120 --> 01:32:14,680 Speaker 1: gotten upset about what has happened here. And if the 1494 01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:21,000 Speaker 1: head of the d n C h had these people 1495 01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:26,080 Speaker 1: set up her computer system for a congressional office, um, 1496 01:32:26,200 --> 01:32:29,599 Speaker 1: it brings the question about did they help her with 1497 01:32:29,720 --> 01:32:33,000 Speaker 1: the d n C computer system? Could it have been 1498 01:32:33,200 --> 01:32:37,080 Speaker 1: these people and that made it look like the Russians hacked. 1499 01:32:37,120 --> 01:32:40,160 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just all kinds of questions that get raised. 1500 01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:42,720 Speaker 1: Do you know if if they did any work for 1501 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:46,559 Speaker 1: the d n C. Well, if you search for imran 1502 01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:49,080 Speaker 1: Wan's name in Wiki leaks, you'll see that he did 1503 01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:53,600 Speaker 1: have the password to w wasser Insult's iPad and d 1504 01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:56,160 Speaker 1: NC employees didn't even have that. When they needed to 1505 01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:59,120 Speaker 1: get onto iPad, they said, we got to call him Ron. Uh. 1506 01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:02,439 Speaker 1: He was like her right handman for technology issues. But 1507 01:33:02,520 --> 01:33:05,400 Speaker 1: I'm not aware of him setting up anything on the 1508 01:33:05,479 --> 01:33:10,160 Speaker 1: d n C access to that. That's uh, that's pretty compelling. 1509 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:16,080 Speaker 1: Wow wow. Yeah, So this definitely connects back to Wasserman Schultz. 1510 01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 1: She's the one who has She's really the only member 1511 01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:22,360 Speaker 1: here who has continued to refuse to fire Imron, who 1512 01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 1: has been her guy since two thousand five. And uh, 1513 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:30,320 Speaker 1: there's just an incredible congressional hearing where Wasserman Schultz, she's 1514 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:32,519 Speaker 1: on the committee that gives out the budget of the 1515 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,400 Speaker 1: Capitol Police. And again, you a lot of people haven't 1516 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,040 Speaker 1: even heard about this investigation, but it's serious enough that 1517 01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:41,479 Speaker 1: the Capitol Police did seize the computer connected to Wasserman 1518 01:33:41,520 --> 01:33:45,880 Speaker 1: Schultz's office that you know has clues about what Iron 1519 01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:49,559 Speaker 1: was up to. And she threatened consequences in a public 1520 01:33:49,600 --> 01:33:52,479 Speaker 1: hearing to the chief of police, uh if he didn't 1521 01:33:52,520 --> 01:33:56,160 Speaker 1: give back that evidence. And the Capitol Police explains, well, 1522 01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:58,680 Speaker 1: we need this to hold the hacker responsible, and she 1523 01:33:58,800 --> 01:34:01,120 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to care. So kind of sounds like the 1524 01:34:01,240 --> 01:34:04,400 Speaker 1: d n C when they refused to turn over their 1525 01:34:04,439 --> 01:34:07,720 Speaker 1: system to the FBI so they could determine whether or 1526 01:34:07,720 --> 01:34:11,280 Speaker 1: not Russia really was involved in hacking the d n 1527 01:34:11,360 --> 01:34:14,400 Speaker 1: C server. We still don't know that. We've had to 1528 01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:18,240 Speaker 1: take others words because they won't let any US law 1529 01:34:18,320 --> 01:34:22,120 Speaker 1: enforcement look at the server to make that determination. But 1530 01:34:22,680 --> 01:34:25,240 Speaker 1: it's you're raising lots of eyebrows and I'm sure glad 1531 01:34:25,280 --> 01:34:27,160 Speaker 1: you're on the case, And would you say your last 1532 01:34:27,240 --> 01:34:33,040 Speaker 1: name for me, Luke Luke Rosiac with the Daily Caller. Well, 1533 01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:34,639 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure I was saying it right. 1534 01:34:34,760 --> 01:34:38,840 Speaker 1: Luke Rosiac. Hy'all need to read his stuff. It's amazing. 1535 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:42,240 Speaker 1: And just appreciate you being on the Sean Hannity Show 1536 01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:46,720 Speaker 1: and illuminating the audience. Thanks so much. We'll be right 1537 01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:49,720 Speaker 1: back with more of the Sean Hannity Show. This is 1538 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:56,560 Speaker 1: Louis Golmbert sitting in for my buddy Shaan. Your oppressive 1539 01:34:56,720 --> 01:35:02,559 Speaker 1: trying to break you, but Poland could would not be broken. 1540 01:35:06,479 --> 01:35:10,240 Speaker 1: And when the day came on June second, nineteen seventy nine, 1541 01:35:10,880 --> 01:35:15,400 Speaker 1: and one million Pauls gathered around Victory Square for their 1542 01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:20,479 Speaker 1: very first Mass with their Polish Pope. That day, every 1543 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:25,360 Speaker 1: Communist and wars must have known that their oppressive system 1544 01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:33,559 Speaker 1: would soon come crashing down. They must have known it 1545 01:35:33,680 --> 01:35:37,639 Speaker 1: at the exact moment during Pope John paul the Second Sermon, 1546 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:42,400 Speaker 1: when a million Polish men, women and children suddenly raised 1547 01:35:42,439 --> 01:35:48,799 Speaker 1: their voices in a single prayer. A million Polish people 1548 01:35:49,479 --> 01:35:55,520 Speaker 1: did not ask for wealth, they did not ask for privilege. Instead, 1549 01:35:55,560 --> 01:36:00,679 Speaker 1: one million Poles saying three simple words, we on God. 1550 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:09,559 Speaker 1: In those words, the Polish people recalled the promise of 1551 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:16,599 Speaker 1: a better future. Was our great President, President Donald J. Trump, 1552 01:36:17,000 --> 01:36:21,719 Speaker 1: speaking in Poland? Been there. I've been an exchange student 1553 01:36:21,720 --> 01:36:24,000 Speaker 1: in the Soviet Union back when it was the real 1554 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:28,800 Speaker 1: Soviet Union, and they turned in and turned a cathedral 1555 01:36:29,000 --> 01:36:33,840 Speaker 1: into a museum of atheism. They demanded an absence of God. 1556 01:36:33,920 --> 01:36:37,479 Speaker 1: There was the Russian Orthodox Church, but that's one thing 1557 01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:40,200 Speaker 1: the people of Poland were hungry for. And when the 1558 01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:45,080 Speaker 1: Pope came there in ninety nine and the people demanded, 1559 01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:49,479 Speaker 1: we want God. I mean, that's incredible. I didn't realize that, 1560 01:36:49,960 --> 01:36:52,840 Speaker 1: but President Trump brought that out. And it takes me 1561 01:36:52,960 --> 01:36:56,200 Speaker 1: right back to Thomas Jefferson's quote, Can the liberties of 1562 01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:59,080 Speaker 1: a nation be thought secure when we have removed their 1563 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:01,960 Speaker 1: only firm base is a conviction in the minds of 1564 01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:04,559 Speaker 1: the people that their liberties are a gift for God, 1565 01:37:05,000 --> 01:37:08,799 Speaker 1: one that most people aren't aware of. Jedediah Morris, whenever 1566 01:37:08,840 --> 01:37:12,720 Speaker 1: the pillars of Christianity shall be overthrown our present republican 1567 01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,360 Speaker 1: forms of government, and all the blessings which flow from 1568 01:37:15,400 --> 01:37:19,160 Speaker 1: them as fall with them. He was the father Samuel F. B. Morris. 1569 01:37:19,360 --> 01:37:24,360 Speaker 1: But folks, uh, the president was on to something, and 1570 01:37:24,880 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 1: you're onto Sean Hannity Show. This is Louis Gomert. Let's 1571 01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:35,080 Speaker 1: don't forget God. Uh, you'll be back tomorrow. No, that's 1572 01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:38,080 Speaker 1: will be the best job tomorrow. You'll be back Monday, 1573 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:40,160 Speaker 1: and Sean will be here with you. God bless you.
