1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Right hour two Sean Hannity Show. We are in the swamp, 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: we are in the sewer. We are in your nation's capital, Washington, 3 00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,840 Speaker 1: d C. We have a town hall tonight with the 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: news Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, some of his 5 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: top investigators deputies will go over the full agenda. That's 6 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 1: all coming up nine eastern on Hannity on Fox. Let 7 00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:23,800 Speaker 1: me play. So Biden in Mexico yesterday. He's been in 8 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,279 Speaker 1: Mexico more than he's been to our southern border. And 9 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: of course that was a photo op as they cleaned 10 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: up all of El Paso just for the day, just 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: for Joe, just as a favorite. You know, God forbid 12 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: that Joe actually sees the reality of the policies and 13 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,879 Speaker 1: the damage and the wreckage that he's causing. Anyway, so 14 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: he ignores these questions on why classified documents were found 15 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: at his think tank. And then know Joe thought, but 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 1: apparently somebody there thinks located at U Penn listened to him, 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 1: dodge duck and not answer. All right, pretty amazing. Now 18 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: we raised there's a lot of questions that we have 19 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: been bringing up. Not many others have the courage or 20 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: the guts of the willingness to actually deal with the 21 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 1: truth of you know, how bad this can be. I 22 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: would tell you that if you look at you know, 23 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: do we have a two tier justice system? That's question 24 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: number one Barlago, Donald Trump versus Hillary versus Biden. Remember 25 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: it was Biden that blasted Trump on sixty minutes, wondering 26 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: how could anyone be that irresponsible? Joe, I ask you 27 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: the same question, how could you have been that irresponsible? 28 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: Based on your standards? Then you have the propagandist Biden's allies, 29 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: the mob, the media. You know, they're trying to spin 30 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: all the bad news. Oh no, it's fine. Hillary does it, 31 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 1: It's fine, Joe does it. It's fine. Anyway, they have 32 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 1: now based controversy at this library or think tank before 33 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: due to Upen's financial ties to China, which I went 34 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 1: through earlier in the last hour in great specificity, in 35 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: great details. But this really revolves around this new development 36 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: about Joe Biden. These multiple reports classified documents from Biden's 37 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: time as VP discovered at Biden's private, unsecured office last year, 38 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: top secret material collected by Intel sources designated as sensitive 39 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 1: compartmented information. The National Archives has already referred the matter 40 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: to the dj US attorney now has been assigned to 41 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: the case. And remember a few months ago there was 42 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: a similar referral surrounding documents in the former president Trump possession. 43 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: Then the raid of course approved by Christopher Ray, approved 44 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: by the AG, all part of the executive branch of 45 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: Joe Biden of Mara Lago, and you know, top Democrats, 46 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: the mob, the media, you know, saying that you know 47 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: this Trump is going to wind up behind bars as 48 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: a result of this. You know, they're calling on Merrick 49 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: Garland to quickly indict the former president. The steria couldn't 50 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 1: have been more shrill, more wrong, more insane. Don't expect 51 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: the same thing to happen here. But then even far 52 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: worse than Joe Biden. Then there's Hillary Clinton storing a 53 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 1: mountain of top secret classified information, privileged documents on her 54 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: unsecured private servers, one hundred and ten pieces of classified 55 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: information among thirty thousand State Department emails. Remember that was 56 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the July twenty sixteen press conference where we all thought, 57 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, come he's gonna do it, He's gonna 58 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: indict her, And he said, no, no, reasonable prosecutor whatever 59 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: charged Clinton with a crime and it was not a 60 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: big deal. We were told. Now the new developments that 61 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: we have today on top of all of this, you know, 62 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: Biden doesn't want to answer any of the questions here 63 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: is you know, how is it that we have such 64 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: a double standard? Now, this is the main crux of 65 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: what we know that Jim Jordan is going to be investigating. 66 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: Is the FBI now politicized? Is the DOJ been weaponized? 67 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: Because I would argue in fact that they did. Now 68 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: McCarthy is actually saying reacting to this and saying that 69 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: Democrats overplayed their hand with Trump. Congressman Comer, who's going 70 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: to be investigating the Biden family syndicate, chairman of the 71 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: Oversight Committee, told reporters that the handling of the discovery 72 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: of classified documents that we're taken from the White House 73 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: six years ago as a display of a two tier 74 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: justice system. This is something every American should be concerned about, 75 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: and rightly so. And then we got to give you 76 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: a Hannity flashback, and that is fifty four million dollars 77 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: in Chinese gifts were donated to U penn and that's 78 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: the home of the b Center, government watchdog group demanding 79 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: the US Attorney probing uner Biden and Delaware investigate. Add 80 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars in anonymous donations from China 81 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: end up at the University of Pennsylvania, where an academic 82 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: center is named for his father, President Biden. Anyway, here 83 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 1: to sort through all of this, John Solomon, editor in 84 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: chief Justinnews dot com. Investigative reporter Greg Jarrett is also 85 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: with us. He's got his third book coming out, The 86 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: Trial of the Century, now available for pre salesf you 87 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: go to Amazon dot com, we'll put up on Hannity 88 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: dot com. John, let's start with you on the news 89 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: side of this. We'll get the legal analysis from Greg. 90 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: It seems to me like Merrick Garland now has a 91 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: big problem on his hands. Listen, when he stood up 92 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: there on November eighteenth and announced the special prosecutor Donald Trump, 93 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: his department already knew that Joe Biden had a similar problem, 94 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: that the documents had been disclosed to the government as 95 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: of November second, So he kept this from the American 96 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 1: public for three months. A lot of people are asking 97 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: questions about that, including in the mainstream Mediaeal say so. 98 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: In other words, they knew before the election, but they 99 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: didn't tell us before the election. Is that what you're saying. 100 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 1: They knew when they appointed the special prosecutor and they 101 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: didn't tell us then either a remarkable omission much whether 102 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 1: we've seen so many times in the past where bureaucrats 103 00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:25,159 Speaker 1: are protecting one party over the other. The right time 104 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,160 Speaker 1: to the all just would have been what had happened. 105 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: Or certainly when special prosecutors announced to look at issues 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: like this with President Trump, we could have all known 107 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,160 Speaker 1: it then. Instead it was delayed from us for two 108 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: or three months until Republicans getting control, and it was 109 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: going to become inevitably disclosed. Not good for this transparency, 110 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: Not good for a president who said he was going 111 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: to be a transparent president. Let me get here to 112 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: take Greg Jarrett. On the legal side of this, we 113 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: already know we don't have equal justice or application of 114 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: our laws, something we talk about often. This now would 115 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: seem to me to be a case where Merrick Garland's 116 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: going to have his hands tied because we have two 117 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: cases here. I think the bigger case was the Llery case, 118 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: But no prosecutor wouldever prosecute they would have to overcome 119 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: the double standard on that matter. And then secondly, you know, 120 00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: we got this other little problem with Joe Biden had 121 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: just popped up. What does it mean as it relates 122 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: to the investigation into borro Lago and the special prosecutor, Well, 123 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 1: it means you can scratch another undoable item off of 124 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's bucket list. He can forget prosecuting Donald Trump. 125 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Turns out, you know, his own boss. So Joe Biden 126 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: did the same thing when he left the Obama administration. 127 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: So it would be difficult to justify criminally charging one 128 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: president and turning a blind eye to the other. It 129 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: would legally be noxious and politically poisonous. The fact is, 130 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 1: you know, I don't underestimate Marrick Garland. If he is 131 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: foolish enough to proceed, then Trump could assert selective prosecution 132 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: as an affirmative defense. Else had his home rated by 133 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: the FBI or faced criminal indictment. Only Trump more broadly, 134 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: his lawyers would simply argue that, you know, the wayward 135 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: documents is a common occurrence during hasty presidential transitions. Outgoing 136 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: presidents don't pack up their own boxes, others do it 137 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: for him. And as I pointed out in a column 138 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,240 Speaker 1: last summer or in the height of a hysteria. Nearly 139 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: every chief executive in modern history is taken with him 140 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: records that arguably should be placed eventually in the national 141 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: ar cause, you know, so much of a Garland's case 142 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: against Trump is predicated on the classified nature of the 143 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: documents found. But that hasn't been litigant. I mean, Trump 144 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: insists he declassified them. But more importantly, you know, Trump 145 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: was simply adhering to the Bill Clinton's standard established by 146 00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: Merrick Garland's own Department of Justice in a case that 147 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,119 Speaker 1: was brought a decade ago. At the time, the DOJ 148 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,679 Speaker 1: took the position and it was adopted by the federal 149 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,680 Speaker 1: Court in DC that a former president can keep whatever 150 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: presidential records he wants and the government has no authority 151 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: to seize them. So you put all of that together, Sean, 152 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: it's impossible for Mary Garland to bring a credible case 153 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: against Trump. It's finished. Let me ask you this because 154 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 1: the media and it was an interview with me and 155 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,719 Speaker 1: President Trump. In that interview, he said, there's not a process. 156 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: I could just say they're classified and that job is done. 157 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: Now we've gone and we've searched, and we looked a 158 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 1: is there any specific things that any president needs to 159 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 1: do to classified declassified documents? I didn't find any. Is 160 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: there anything very specifically that a president has to do 161 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: to say though I declassified them? None at all? And 162 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: you're absolutely one hundred percent correct. In fact, I wrote 163 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: an entire column explaining the law, or actually the absence 164 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: of the law. It's well established that a president has 165 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: unfettered authority to declassify documents. He doesn't have to sign 166 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: any papers saying I'm declassifying this. He can simply do it, 167 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: and in fact he can do it by disclosing to 168 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 1: the public or to other individuals who don't have Clarence 169 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: A classified information. As I say, he has complete unfettered 170 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: authority to do it. Right quick, Craig, We'll come back 171 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 1: more with Greg Jarrett and John Solomon on the other side. 172 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,239 Speaker 1: We are in our nation's capital, Washington, DC, Kevin McCarthy 173 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: and a Republican town hall tonight. What is their agenda, 174 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 1: how committed are they to it? And what can you 175 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: expect in the days, weeks, months, and next two years ahead? 176 00:10:55,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: Straight ahead, as we continue from DC, Americus defender of freedom, 177 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 1: liberty in American Values, this is the entity show. You know. Tragically, 178 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 1: last year had a record number of school shooting victims. 179 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: Now in active shooter incidents, schools go on lockdown and 180 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 1: lockdoors impede law enforcements access. Now with Knox, both school 181 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: officials and law enforcement have access to key cards, keys, 182 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: floor plans, and getting them into those lockdoors. Get Knox. 183 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: Just go to school entry dot com. That's their website, 184 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: school entry oneword dot com, school entry dot com. We 185 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: continue our discussion. John Solomon, Editor in chief, investigative reporter 186 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: just Thenews dot com. Greg Jarrett, Foxnews of course, legal analyst. 187 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 1: As we continue. You know another issue, John Solomon, is well, 188 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: they say, well, well Biden volunteered them. I would argue, 189 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: did he really volunteer them, or did somebody know about 190 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: it and maybe somebody was about to tell on them, 191 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: or did tell or expose the fact that they existed. 192 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: You know what, Sorry, it just doesn't pass the smell 193 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: test for me. And then Donald Trump took the unprecedented 194 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: steps of hiring an outside for him to go through 195 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: all of his properties. He was told by his own attorneys, Nope, 196 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: we don't have anything classified here. Okay, I think all 197 00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: three of us know Donald Trump well enough to know this. 198 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: He didn't impact a single box. And I doubt since 199 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 1: he's been president that he ever went and looked at 200 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 1: a single document that relating to anything regarding his Presidency's 201 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 1: not even writing an autobiography at this point. Yeah, it's remarkable. 202 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 1: Remember Democrats, I thought Mkeevin McCarthy said something very brilliant 203 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: this morning. Democrats overplayed their hand, and now they're going 204 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 1: to get hit by the boomer. Think of how they 205 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,200 Speaker 1: overplayed their hand. The president always has the authority did 206 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: to classify. The president always had the right under the 207 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: district court ruling to keep documents from his presidency that 208 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: he did need to be personal. These things have not 209 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: been in dispute, but for the last seven to six 210 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 1: seven months they've been hijacked by the media and by 211 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: Joe Biden. And now all these things are going to 212 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: flip around on Joe Biden, and it's gonna have to 213 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,400 Speaker 1: his defenses are gonna look just like President Trump's defenses 214 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: and saying, oh, well, we volunteered them. Now, it doesn't 215 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 1: matter if you had classify documents in your possession and 216 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: you criticize another guy for having that, you got to 217 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: be health to the same standard. I think most Americans 218 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: are going to say, hey, Joe Biden, Donald Trump did it. 219 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 1: Let's move on and talk about something far more important 220 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: to our country, the border, getting the economy set, of 221 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: getting inflation down. There's so many things far more important. 222 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: I think Democrats are going to have a great regret 223 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: that they overplayed this situation for a long time and 224 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 1: now it's coming back to so so they just walk 225 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: it back and say, never mind, it didn't really matter 226 00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 1: with Trump. Well, it's gonna be hard to do that now, right. 227 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: They have a special prosecutor, but that's a prosecutor, as 228 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 1: Greg so iloquently just noted, he is so boxed in 229 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 1: now by what has been revealed in the last twenty 230 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: four hours, it would be really hard for him to 231 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: find a way to charge President Trump without treating President 232 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 1: Biden the same way. I think they're going to avert 233 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: that part of the debate. There could be other things 234 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: they look at. I don't think the classified documents is 235 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 1: going to be the thing that results in criminal charges 236 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: against either man at this point. Do you see any 237 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: legal charges anywhere? The special special grand jury is that 238 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: we call it one that didn't indict they finished their 239 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: work in Georgia. Is that a problem for Donald Trump? 240 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: Is the January sixth Committee referrals a problem for Donald Trump? 241 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 1: Is this prosecutor a problem for Trump? Any of the 242 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: dealings in New York? Is that an issue for Trump? 243 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: What do you see Greg Jarrett legally? Well, you know 244 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: he's going to have to spend a lot of money 245 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 1: defending himself in the end. I don't see any indictments 246 00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: January six for example, those referrals Congress, which is an 247 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: abuse of their authorities, they have no right to do. 248 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: That will be largely ignored by the DOJ. I think 249 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: they already came to the conclusion that you know, if 250 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: you look at Trump's speech, if you look at his actions, 251 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: he didn't incite violence. Seditious conspiracy nonexistent. Even those who 252 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: were accused of sedition, none of them were tied to Trump. 253 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: So you know that that's a no go. As I've 254 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: explained here, I think this raid on morologue will now 255 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,800 Speaker 1: go away given the Biden revelations in the previous Clinton 256 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: case that was nearly identical. So you know he's going 257 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,479 Speaker 1: to continue to get pursued by you know, rogue attorney 258 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: generals in states like New York, and you know he's 259 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: just going to have to deal with that. All right. 260 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: We appreciate both of you.

I'm great, thanks for having 296 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: me on the show and it's a great honor to 297 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: speak with you. Shad, I have a thank you. The 298 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: honor is mine yes, no, my honor, I have a 299 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 1: question about classified documents. I know that presidents can declassify documents. 300 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 1: Can vice presidents declassified documents? And the reason I ask 301 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden left office as a vice president and 302 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: took classified documents with him, then he wouldn't admit able 303 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 1: to declassify them. Is that right or not? I didn't. 304 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 1: You got to say that a little slowly. I think 305 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: I lost track with you. Say it again. I'm so sorry. 306 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 1: I know that presidents can declassify documents, can vice correct 307 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: It's not a specific process, but the vice president, that's 308 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: a great question. I don't think so. I think that 309 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 1: is only a power of the president. I don't know, 310 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:24,320 Speaker 1: But you know what, you raise a question I haven't 311 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: even thought of. That's a great question. But they're not 312 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,719 Speaker 1: claiming that they were declassified. You know, they they found 313 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 1: them or somebody found them and was going to report them. 314 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 1: I'd like to know the real truth. You know. You 315 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: gotta understand something here. Why did this just pop up 316 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 1: out of nowhere to me to think, oh, we found these, 317 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: let us give them back to you now. However, many 318 00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: years later, that makes me a little suspicious. I suspect 319 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 1: that somebody saw them or knew about them and said, 320 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna report this if you don't hand it back in, 321 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 1: or something to that effect. I could see that easily happening. 322 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 1: Maybe I guess on my part, so I know for sure. No, 323 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: it seems suspicious on the surface. Been there for all 324 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 1: these years, however many years this goes back. But you're 325 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 1: raising a great question. N I don't think they can, Lenny. 326 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: I should have asked Greg Jared. When I have the opportunity, 327 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: I will get an answer to that question and report 328 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: back though. Great question. Okay, thank you, all right, thank you, 329 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 1: my friend. God bless you. Andrew is in the great 330 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: state of Texas. Andrew, how are you glad you called? 331 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: Thanks for being will us. Hey, I appreciate Sean. I've 332 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 1: been a long time listening. I'd be as hunter to 333 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: talk to you. I love listening to guys like you 334 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: and Rustling Ball, you know, God bless her soul. Oh, 335 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: thank you, buddy. So my biggest problem that I've been 336 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: having is losing faith in the nation. You know, almost 337 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:55,400 Speaker 1: feel like we're in this time where we're being purposely divided, 338 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: being the right and left wing media. I don't believe 339 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: that there's there's anyone at this point that's innocent of 340 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: doing just that. Um some some maybe doing it, you know, uh, 341 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,640 Speaker 1: you know, not knowing that they're dividing the country even more. 342 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: But my question, need do you ever think that we 343 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,680 Speaker 1: the people will ever become united again? Because right now, 344 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:20,400 Speaker 1: the way I see it, it's almost fifty fifty down 345 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: the line, and as long that stays that way, it's 346 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: going to get that much harder for people in Congress, 347 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 1: in the House to ever come to an agreement and 348 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: actually get things done when they're too busy bickering and fighting. Well, 349 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 1: the bottom line is the answer to that as you 350 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: actually have to win the election. And this goes to 351 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,200 Speaker 1: the heart of my argument. Republicans, you know they've got ah, 352 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: they got an election playbook that's like an apple one point. Oh. 353 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: Democrats have the fifteenth version of it, and they don't 354 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 1: they don't kiss babies, they don't go to fairs, they 355 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 1: don't do press evls, they don't do selfies, they don't 356 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 1: do rallies, they don't do any of that. They run ads, 357 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: and they do ballot harvesting, which in many states is legal, 358 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,920 Speaker 1: and that's how they're running elections and they're avoiding debates, 359 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: and they're hiding in their basement and they're running these 360 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: stealth campaigns and it's being successful. So now, as far 361 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 1: as the nation coming together, I don't have an answer 362 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: to that. You know, it could be a moment, it 363 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,919 Speaker 1: could be an event. You know, look a look at 364 00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: America post nine to eleven. I mean there was a 365 00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 1: pretty big period, long period of time there where you 366 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: know what, it didn't matter if you were a Republican 367 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 1: or a Democrat that and you were in the towers 368 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,800 Speaker 1: the day those towers came down or in the Pentagon 369 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: that day. You know, at that point, we were all Americans. 370 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: What do I wish? Do? I hope? Yeah? However, I'm 371 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 1: not Pollyannish. I recognize the reality that this is a 372 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: radical socialist party that wants to inflict their agenda on us. 373 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: I believe for many it's about power. For some, I 374 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: think they're naive, and you know, they really believe it. 375 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: You know. It's it's funny because some people were critical 376 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: that I was mad at those some of the Republicans, 377 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 1: because I had been talking to many of them in 378 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 1: the lead up to January third, and I'm like, get 379 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: your ass in a room, throw away your ego, throw 380 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: away your phone, hammer out a deal, and show America 381 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: you can lead. Now, many in the base of the 382 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: Republican Party they loved it, and I understand completely why 383 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: they loved it. However, base elections are very hard to win. 384 00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: You also have to win over independence, you have to 385 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 1: win over people in the middle, and you have to 386 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: be able to appeal to it. And I did not. 387 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: And I said this to people. I was saying, look, 388 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: it's it's going to look to people like you're not 389 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: ready to lead, and you need to remember you will 390 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: all you will all succeed or fail together. There won't 391 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 1: be any exceptions. Now, it ended up only being four days. 392 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: Wasn't really that big a deal. At no point was 393 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,200 Speaker 1: I generally alarmed. I was just, you know, having all 394 00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: these sources I have, and having talked to all of 395 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: them in the weeks leading up to this, knowing what 396 00:23:09,760 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: was agreed to already, that they didn't need to make 397 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: this public spectacle. You know, sometimes if you have a family, 398 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: do you ever have a family issue come up that 399 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 1: you just keep within your family? Do you ever have that? 400 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: So I believe all of us have those type of 401 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: issues exactly. That's the point, and I would have rather 402 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: they kept it in house. And I was talking to 403 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: all sides of this and I said, you need to 404 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,960 Speaker 1: hammer this out. I don't care if you scream yells. 405 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 1: That sort of thing was like an average day growing 406 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 1: up for me where I was. We'd play sports. We'd 407 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 1: be playing hockey, we'd dropped our gloves, we'd all fight, 408 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: then we'd you know, dust ourselves off, pick up our 409 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: gloves and start playing again. Same with basketball, same when 410 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 1: we played football, same when we played any sport. To 411 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: be honest, but but this is this is the work 412 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 1: of the people that here to serve us, and my 413 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: big concern they had a window of opportunity. I was 414 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: warning everybody. I was asking people, what do you need, 415 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: what do you want? What is your list? Show me 416 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 1: your list, let me see. You know. I was just 417 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:18,959 Speaker 1: being myself and being nosy and you you know, working 418 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 1: my sources, and you know what, it was easily doable. 419 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: And that was the part that people misunderstood. Some people 420 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,440 Speaker 1: didn't like the fact that Lauren Boebert and I had 421 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 1: to shoot out. She was on the show yesterday. I 422 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 1: don't dislike Lauren Bobard at all. I think in the 423 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: end these changes are actually good for the country, but 424 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: they should have none it earlier. But here's the problem, right, 425 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,159 Speaker 1: So the whole point of being able to have a 426 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: conversation and not agreeing on everything. Right, we live in 427 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 1: a society right now where everybody has to think the 428 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: same and everybody wants to be so different about their 429 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: desire to be the same, like you have to think 430 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: the same. It's ridiculous. I was like, this is about rategy. 431 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 1: It's not about what the Republican base is going to 432 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 1: think about the Republicans. I'm more interested in the people 433 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 1: in the middle. I wanted Republicans to come off prepared 434 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 1: to lead on day one. That was and I expressed 435 00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 1: that numerous times to many many people whose names you'd recognize, 436 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: and um, and they didn't. There was no urgency, and 437 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,119 Speaker 1: that pissed me off. You were a person of compromise, 438 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: so you and I had really as you were because 439 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: you said, listen, you might not like Kevin McCarthy personally, 440 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 1: but it's not about your personal feelings. That's that part 441 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: of strike. You made that very clear. And by the way, 442 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: they had days before January third, the motion to vacate 443 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: was agreed to. Right. But I also think, and this 444 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 1: is just my humble opinion, that people get a little 445 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: greedy once they see, like you were saying, the terms 446 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: changed and the bar shifted every single day, and that 447 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: frustrated the hell out of me. Ye, and then then 448 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: that's to me, that's not good faith negotiating. It's not, 449 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 1: But that is today's I negotiate deals all the time. 450 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: When I negotiate a deal, if I give my word, 451 00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: if you shake my hand, where the word is your bond. Anyway, 452 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 1: we'll give you the last word. Go ahead, Uh, Andrew, 453 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 1: don't let your heart be troubled. Look, the country can 454 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: come together. I would suspect it's less likely than not. 455 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: And the only then it becomes a choice. And if 456 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: it's a choice between socialism and capitalism and liberty and 457 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: freedom and our constitution versus big government socialism, we've got 458 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: to win for the sake of the country, or roast, 459 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: we won't have a country. Everything that's happened in every 460 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: socialized country will not happen to us. Here's here's your opportunity. 461 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: You get the last word. I feel I agree with you, 462 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: and I feel that our government does work for us, 463 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: but we need to look at it as a marriage 464 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: and that we're married. They're married to the people, and 465 00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:58,920 Speaker 1: they need to learn to start listening and be able 466 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 1: to have a conversation. And like she said, we need 467 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 1: to have compromised because that's the only way a marriage works. 468 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: And until we do that, we're just gonna wind up, 469 00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: you know, being separated. I mean, that's in the end, 470 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: that's what happens in a bad marriage, and there's no 471 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: communication and no compromise. Yeah, anyway, with my friend, let's 472 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: hang in there and let's see what the Republicans do. 473 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: That's why I'm in DC today to do this town 474 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,359 Speaker 1: hall tonight. And I'm hopeful now that everyone's you know, 475 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 1: pulling in the same direction. It certainly looks like if 476 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 1: the initial signs are I had every confidence that everybody 477 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 1: agreed on the agenda. That was the other frustrating part. 478 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: The agenda was in cement, and I don't think anybody's 479 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 1: going to deviate from that. All right, quick break, we'll 480 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: come back. More of your calls coming up straight ahead. 481 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: Congressman Byron Donalds of Florida will join us. We're in DC. 482 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,000 Speaker 1: Kevin McCarthy and a group of top Republicans will join 483 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: us for a town hall nine Eastern. Say you DVR 484 00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:02,680 Speaker 1: for Fox Corn, Pop, Stand Up Chuck, and Dog Based 485 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: Pony Soldiers. That's just a few of the fighter moments 486 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: you would call when you'll walk down Joe's memory lane. 487 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,400 Speaker 1: You can't make this up, and with Biden in office, 488 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 1: you don't have to this. This is the Sean Annity Show. 489 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,160 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get back to our busy pones. Let's 490 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,040 Speaker 1: say hi to is it Rick in North Carolina? Rick? 491 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,479 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? Thank you sir? How 492 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,200 Speaker 1: are you doing? I'm good, sir? What's going on? Uh? Yeah? 493 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: I called because I think there's a couple of points 494 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 1: that have been missed on this discussion about Electionton and 495 00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 1: so forth start with, I think we've been hurt, you know, 496 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 1: in a couple of critical races by you know, third 497 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: party voters that are you know, anti Democratic party. But 498 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: we can't get these voters to full one candidate to 499 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:02,080 Speaker 1: win the seat. Well, I mean, look, we have to 500 00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: worry about third parties. I mean some of the elections 501 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: I was concerned about and if you remember, if everybody remembers, 502 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 1: I kept warning people about this exuberance that existed prior 503 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 1: to this mid term and I'm like, I'm not where 504 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: you people are. I'm nowhere near where you people are. 505 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: Meeting those people that were exuberant, I said, I am, 506 00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: these are very difficult races to win, and you should 507 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: assume that your vote is going to be the final 508 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 1: vote that would tip your candidate over the finish line. 509 00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: But there was so much phony optimism out there, and 510 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm like, well, what has happened to everybody? What are 511 00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: they forgetting here? And then I started to worry about 512 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 1: some candidates that I thought were a drag on the 513 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: entire ticket, Like I like Doug Mastriano, but no exceptions 514 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 1: for abortion. I'm not talking morally, I'm talking about politically 515 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:57,480 Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania. Is not going to fly zero exceptions for rape, 516 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: insess mother's life. That's not gonna win. And there are 517 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: some political truths or undeniable truths that you have to 518 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: understand about politics. And it ended up impacted the entire 519 00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:12,719 Speaker 1: Republican ticket in Pennsylvania. Oswould have easily won. He had 520 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:17,520 Speaker 1: had double digit ticket switching, which is almost impossible to achieve, 521 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,800 Speaker 1: and it just wasn't enough. To overcome the fifteen point 522 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,960 Speaker 1: loss that Mastriano had. You get the last word. Okay, 523 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: well I've got I've got a couple you know stats 524 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: kind of suff you know, show him a point here. Okay. 525 00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: Back in twenty twenty, Trump lost you know, three states, 526 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,040 Speaker 1: but it feels like one hundred ten thousand votes, and 527 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,560 Speaker 1: those one hundred and ten thousand votes we're the ones 528 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: who wanted to then Leberstarian Party. All three of those 529 00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: states would have carried. Now the House would have still 530 00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: voted him out. I think that's how it works. In 531 00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:46,440 Speaker 1: the tie, it would have been two sixty nine to 532 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: two sixty nine. But they even this, uh, this last 533 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: election with Walker as a libertarian, said hey, candid candidate 534 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,560 Speaker 1: does not have a chance to win. What's go ahead 535 00:30:57,600 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: and the least get the Democrat out of here so 536 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: we maybe get something done, anything done. We had the 537 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: fiftieth seat and two years going to have fifty one, 538 00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: we would have avoided I'm the best vote to begin with. Oh, listen, 539 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: it's that was a very frustrating race for me for 540 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons. And you know, then you had, 541 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: you know, these people in Washington, the elite, you know, 542 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: picking winners and losers up. Now, we're not going to 543 00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 1: support Blake Masters. Yeah, we're not going to put that 544 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: much money into Herschel's race. And Democrats don't do that. 545 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 1: They competed everywhere, and they threw whatever amount of money 546 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,720 Speaker 1: they needed to throw into a race. They got it. 547 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,400 Speaker 1: Where their money's coming from. I think we need an 548 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: investigation into that too, because I have great suspicion about 549 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 1: the amount of money because they so outspend Republicans in 550 00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: these races. That is, it is mind numbing tens and 551 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 1: tens of millions of dollars. They're outspending Republicans and ads 552 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:00,440 Speaker 1: absolutely work. But I'll add one thing. Republicans better get 553 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 1: their act together, and they need to up their election game. 554 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 1: They are playing with an old election model. Democrats have 555 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 1: moved on way beyond it. At this point, Republicans have 556 00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: got to match their effort any reluctance or resistance as 557 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 1: it relates to early voting or voting by mail, or 558 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 1: doing what the Democrats do. I'm talking about legally. If 559 00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,719 Speaker 1: your state allows ballot harvesting and Democrats are doing it, 560 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: Republicans need to do it better. Following the law of course, 561 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,800 Speaker 1: I appreciate the call, my friend eight hundred nine one Sean. 562 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,640 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 563 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,120 Speaker 1: Congressman Byron Donalds will join us from Florida. Coming up 564 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: next
