00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:19,680
Speaker 1: day off. He'll be back soon. We got lots to

8
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: get to. There's breaking news all over the place. The President,

9
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: it turns out, has made a surprise visit to Iraq.

10
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: The Tao has stunned everybody by making a huge comeback.

11
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: Now this is all very bad news. I feel terrible.

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: You know, these democrats, it's getting tougher and tougher. It's

13
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 1: two years in now and again all these Democrats sit

14
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: around all day trying to figure out how to make

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: the President look bad. And after you've come up with

16
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: seventeen hundred scandals that fizzle and have forgotten about a

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: day later and don't work, and nobody cares about it's

18
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: so hard for them to come up with something. This

19
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: endless campaign of what President Trump calls presidential harassment. It's

20
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:06,759
Speaker 1: a great term, presidential harassment. So they worked really hard

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: over Christmas. You know, it's tough because he's not there's

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: not a lot going on. You can't find a scandal

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 1: to gin up. So they came up with he doesn't

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: visit the troops. First president. You always hear this, first

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: president in ten years, first president, eighty years. First they

26
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: always got this first presidents. So this was the big scandal.

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: They worked so hard on that he's the first president

28
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: not to visit the troops. Well, it turns out and

29
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: this is not in response to that. This is a

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: visit that had been planned for some time. In fact,

31
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: the reporters were starting to learn about it a day

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: or two ago, but were sworn to secrecy. Believe it

33
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 1: or not, even the fake news kept its secret. So

34
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: it was quite a secret visit to Iraq. Flying over there,

35
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: curtains drawn, lights off on the plane, obviously for security reasons.

36
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: And the President visited the troops in Iraq, spending a

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: lot of time with them Christmas, addressing the huge gathering

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: your troops, then meeting individually with them, taking selfies with them,

39
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,239
Speaker 1: all of this stuff. So it completely screws up this

40
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: latest democratic scandal narrative. They came up with so they

41
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: had to go back to last week's fake scandal they've

42
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: jimmed up, which is that the Dow is crashing, the

43
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: economy is crashing, We're going to a bear market. This

44
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: was the big thing they had before that, And now

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the Doo comes roaring back today, up six hundred points today,

46
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: completely screwing up that fake narrative. So I don't know

47
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. I don't know what they're gonna

48
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: come come up with next. And you gotta feel bad

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: for them. They had their hopes pinned on Russia and

50
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: Muller and collusion, and I think even the most Democrats

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: are starting to realize now, you know, so it's a

52
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: couple of years. If you're just gonna find any collusion,

53
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: he would have found it by now. So. And then

54
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: they've expanded this investigation into everything, you know, every inch

55
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: of everything Donald Trump has ever touched is now under investigation.

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: They put that in big headlines in the fake news.

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: Every organization Donald Trump has ever been involved with is

58
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 1: now under investigation. I guess you're supposed to think, Wow,

59
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: he must be a bad guy if that's the case. No,

60
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: actually it's the opposite. When you hear that. It means

61
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: they can't find a darn thing. That's why they have

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: to keep expanding and expanding this investigation. Anyway, we've got

63
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: lots to get to today. I got a lot of

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,640
Speaker 1: great guests coming up. We'll get to we'll get to Russia.

65
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: We'll get to the stock market. We'll get to Hey,

66
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 1: there's a movie out. This is another democratic plot. We'll

67
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: get to this. We'll get to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. We'll

68
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: get Kevin Spacey. Have you seen this very bizarre comeback

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: he's trying to make. I don't know what the heck

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: that's all about. We'll get to that coming up, and

71
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: we'll get to the retail world. Is it dying? Is

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: it's a retail sales strongest in ten years. They've had

73
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 1: a big season, but the retail stocks are dropping. Well,

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: we'll get to why. Coming up. We'll get to the shutdown.

75
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: Of course, it's day five of the shutdown. I love

76
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: a government shutdown. It is great. The only real danger

77
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: with a shutdown is every time they reopen the government.

78
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: So if it could just stay shut down, now, what's

79
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: going to happen here? And first of all, it's a shutdown,

80
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: how come I'm on the Sunday shows. I'm seeing Schumer

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: and who's that bead eyed little guy, Adam Schiff? If

82
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 1: the government's shutdown, why do we keep seeing these guys

83
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 1: on my television? Adam Schiff, Chuck Schumer, Pelosi. Respect the shutdown,

84
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 1: Please stay home. It's Christmas. We don't need to see you.

85
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: Right now, here's what will happen. It's like, you know,

86
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: they think Trump has painted himself into a corner. It's

87
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: the other way around. January third is going to roll around.

88
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: When is that? That's a week from today? Right, it'll

89
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: probably stay shut down till them. They're not going to

90
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: compromise and he's not gonna budge. But what's going to

91
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: happen is January third, they're supposed to take control of

92
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: the House and they've got four million hearings that are

93
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: going to begin. They're going to investigate everything. They're gonna

94
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: investigate the Trump organization, they're gonna investigate us extra turns.

95
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: They're going to investigate. Oh, January thirty is Thursday. Oh,

96
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: it's a week from tomorrow. So here's the problem with

97
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: the government shutdown. They're gonna realize, oh, we can't hold

98
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: any hearings the government shutdown, then the one are they

99
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: gonna do? You know, I say, leave it shutdown until

100
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: twenty twenty. That way, there's no hearings nothing. Now, listen,

101
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: there's some people in the federal government, A lot of

102
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: it is funded already. This is not a full shutdown.

103
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: It's like a twenty percent shutdown. But if you look

104
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: at it an employee wise, it's like a fourteen percent shutdown.

105
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: So you got to get those people paid. They're all paid,

106
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: by the way, they don't get their checks every week.

107
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: They'll have to wait till the shutdown's over to get paid.

108
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,600
Speaker 1: But I bet they're looking into something right now, some

109
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 1: way of getting in their money ahead of time. They

110
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: don't lose any money. But obviously you don't want to

111
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 1: wait weeks for your paychecks. So though, I'll bet they

112
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: figure out something of that and just leave it shutdown.

113
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: Who needs it open. So and the other thing is,

114
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: you know, when you see these check Schumer types on

115
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: television trying to terrify you with the idea of a

116
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: government shutdown, it's not that terrifying. I mean, does he

117
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: think we're that dumb? We've all been through in recent

118
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,239
Speaker 1: years eighteen government shutdowns, it doesn't really affect a whole lot.

119
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: A couple of memorials get closed down. That Jefferson Memorial

120
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: is closed, you guys still go look at it, but

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: you can't walk inside. Here in New York, it means

122
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty is closed to visitors. You know,

123
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: the Statue of Liberty. A lot of people go to

124
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: the Battery park there and they look at the statue.

125
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: But you could actually take a ferry and ride over

126
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: there and go around the Statue of Liberty into the

127
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Statue Liberty. So that becomes closed. But what they did

128
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: here in New York, they've decided to pay to keep

129
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: it open. It costs I forget some number like sixty

130
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: thousand a week to keep it open. And it looks

131
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: very generous on the part of the local officials that

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 1: they're going to chip in and keep it open. But

133
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: it turns out it brings in millions in revenue, so

134
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: that's the reason they're chipping in to keep it open.

135
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: So it's not the worst thing to shut down. If

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: it'll keep Congress home, it's probably a good thing. And again,

137
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: we've had a lot of shutdowns in the past. Do

138
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: you remember the last shutdown, No, remember the one before it. No,

139
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: it really wasn't much, didn't have much effect on your life.

140
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: So but again, these poor Democrats having to come up

141
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,400
Speaker 1: with a scandal day. They thought they had something there

142
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: with Maddis. You know that was that was big fake news.

143
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: General Maddis out. This indicates total chaos in the administration.

144
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: But I know they don't want to hear this, but

145
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: if you look back, wait, wait a minute, President Obama

146
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: fired Maddis too. In fact, when President Obama fired Maddis,

147
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: it was quite humiliating. Matdis found out by watching television

148
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 1: that he was fired. But they make it sound like

149
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: if you switch the secretaries of defense, what chaos. They

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: forget to remind you there was a period where Obama

151
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: went through four secretaries of Defense quickly, very fastest up

152
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: switching secretaries at Defense. It's not chaos. Mattis a good guy,

153
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: but but he just disagreed with the president on everything.

154
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: I mean, this is going back a year or two.

155
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: He even disagreed on the Paris Climate Accord. He didn't

156
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: want to pull out. So they've been disagreeing all along.

157
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: Mattis has gone. He had originally been recommended by General

158
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: Jack Keane. That was first choice for Secretary Defense. That's

159
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: who President Trump wanted. General Jack Keeney went to keene

160
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: and asked him to take the job. Keene couldn't at

161
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: the time. His wife was sick, he was having things

162
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: to deal with his personal just couldn't do it at

163
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: the time, but he recommended Matdis. Mattis had been his

164
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: number two guy for a long time. So that's how

165
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 1: Mattis got in there. Hopefully now that he's out, General

166
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Keane will consider taking the job. He'd be great. Hey

167
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,479
Speaker 1: also would get to the wall. I love these democrats.

168
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,559
Speaker 1: He Schumer's and Pelosi's all over CNN, Oliver EMERSNBC, all

169
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: over the fake news New York Times, the Basis Post

170
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: all saying, you know, a wall doesn't work. Experts say

171
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: a wall doesn't work. What experts say? Have you heard

172
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: any experts say a wall doesn't work? Border Patrol says

173
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: it works just fine. Have you ever heard of prisons say,

174
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: you know what, the walls aren't working. We're going to

175
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 1: take them down. Every prison has a wall. It works

176
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: just fine. Remember East Berlin when they had the wall,

177
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: Boy did that work? Nobody got out that wall was great.

178
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: In fact, it was so strong Democrats everybody kept yelling

179
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: teared down that wall. Thirty eight countries have a wall.

180
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 1: Israel's got a wall that works just great. I mean,

181
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: it's doing a phenomenal job. Obviously, walls work. Hey, if

182
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: there's a Democrat listening, would you call me and explain

183
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: to me this fear of walls. What is this wall

184
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: hatred all about? I never quite understood this. I know

185
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 1: it's a symbolic of you know, anti illegals. It prevents

186
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:57,199
Speaker 1: illegals from breaking into the country. But when Pelosi and

187
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: Schumer's are argue, you know it's it's in more world.

188
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: What is the actual argument against the wall? First of all,

189
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 1: Democrats are always crying for infrastructure. This is infrastructure. It's

190
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: a great infrastructure project, and at five billion dollars, it'd

191
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: be one of the cheapest infrastructure products ever. You know,

192
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: here in New York City, here in Manhattan, if you

193
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: live around the country, this might not seem like a

194
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,840
Speaker 1: big crisis, But to these New York politicians, this is

195
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,840
Speaker 1: a crisis. We have two we get tunnels that go

196
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: from Manhattan to New Jersey. There's the Lincoln Tunnel, is

197
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 1: a Holland tunnel, and then there's also two railway tunnels.

198
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 1: The trains come in under the Hudson River on a tunnel,

199
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: So supposedly we need a new railway tunnel. Now, it

200
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: costs eleven billion dollars to build this railroad tunnel just

201
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 1: to get into Manhattan. And if the government says eleven billion,

202
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: you can figure it's probably a billion anyway. It's like

203
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 1: a ten year project. Schumer our governor here, Cuomo, our

204
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: mayor in New York. They're always going to Washington pleading bay, crying,

205
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: we have to have this tunnel. It's only eleven billion dollars.

206
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: They begged the president. They run articles here in New

207
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: York all the time. What kind of miser is this

208
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: that he can't give us eleven billion for the tunnel.

209
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 1: Supposedly that's nothing and he should be paying it right away.

210
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: He should be writing the check today. But when you

211
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: ask for five billion for a wall, they'll tell you

212
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: it's a fortune. You can't spend it, it's a waste

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: of money. So this is one little tunnel to get

214
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: to make it easier for commuters into Manhattan, but a

215
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: wall to protect the entire country. The entire border. They

216
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,079
Speaker 1: can't do it. They can't do it anyway. Let's take

217
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 1: a call or two. Let's go to Let's go to

218
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: Jim in Houston, Texas. Hey, Jim, how you doing. Welcome

219
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity Show. Hey, thanks so much. I'm glad

220
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 1: I got on first time caller. Really would I would

221
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 1: think that there would be a way to fund the

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: wall and bypass the government and still make you know,

223
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the Mexican people tie for it. And that would be

224
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: simply by putting attacks or a fee on money that

225
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 1: sent south of the border. You know, these people, you

226
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: know send the money home. That's why they're here working. Yeah,

227
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 1: there's a lot of illegals who send money home. It's

228
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: a huge amount of money goes back to Mexico. If

229
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: there's a way to seize that and use that for

230
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 1: the wall. You could also get Mexico to pay for

231
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: it in different ways. We have a lot of trade

232
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: with Mexico. You could yanktifive billion out of there. Just

233
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: the renegotiating of NAFTA, you know, that freed up a

234
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 1: lot of money. The President's pointed this out. If you

235
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: look at how he renegotiated the NAFTA agreement. We probably

236
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: easily saved five billion there or get five billion back,

237
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: so that could be used for the wall. There's a

238
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: lot of ways to do it. I'd love to see

239
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: a go fund me. Maybe not a go fund me

240
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: because they take a fee out of that, but something

241
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: like that. You know, if you took all the Trump supporters,

242
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: all the people that voted for Donald Trump in America,

243
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 1: if each one chipped in eighty bucks, you'd have the

244
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: wall paid for it. That's all. It would take eighty

245
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: bucks from every Trump supporter. Now, obviously you don't have

246
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: to get eighty from everybody. Some people could give eight

247
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 1: because some people will give eight hundred, that sort of thing.

248
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: But you could easily fund the wall that way. Well,

249
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: we'll see. Anyway, we got lots to get to today,

250
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 1: lots of stuff to talk about. Remind me to get

251
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: to this Dick Cheney movie. It is really this is

252
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: quite a plot by Democrats. We get to that. If

Speaker 1: you know what a hassle it can be. For me.

259
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm out playing golf and I come back smelling like cigars.

260

Speaker 1: It's a Sean Hannity show. It's Mark Simone here for Sean.

275
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 1: He'll be back soon. We got lots to talk about.

276
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: You know that you met this movie Vice. It's a movie.

277
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: It's a brand new movie as a Christian Bale. There's

278
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: a bunch of big movie stars in this and it's

279
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: about Dick Cheney. Now, this is another Democratic tradition. When

280
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: there's a conservative that they eight after they're out of office,

281
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: they often put together a movie just to trash the person.

282
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: Do you remember Nixon. It was a movie by Oliver Stone,

283
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: and they're really the most biased, distorted, slanted films. For instance,

284
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: with the Nixon movie. Nixon did a lot of great

285
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 1: things in its presidency. There was some great successes in

286
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: the Nixon years, including openly ador to China and all that.

287
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: So when Oliver Stone makes the movie, it's basically two things.

288
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: It's about him drunk at the end, in the middle

289
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 1: of Watergate, running around the White House. He's drunk, not

290
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 1: knowing where he is. It's just him the last few

291
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: weeks in turmoil. And there's a couple of other scenes

292
00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: where he's meeting with donors. It looks real shady. So

293
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: that's the whole story of Nixon. According to this movie,

294
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean just totally biased. And then you remember the

295
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: great Margaret Thatcher it gets out of office. You remember

296
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: the movie Thatcher. It was Meryl Streep or some great actress,

297
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: was a Glenn Cloe, somebody played Thatcher. But the whole

298
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: movie nothing about Thatcher's great career, nothing about the brilliance

299
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: that Thatcher showed in office. The whole movie it was

300
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: about Thatcher at the end, the last year where she

301
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: had Alzheimer's and jeez, bumping into walls. That was the

302
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: whole movie. So now Dick Cheney is getting that treatment.

303
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: Hollywood has made a movie about Cheney. It all it

304
00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 1: focuses on is the worst of Cheney, exaggerated to ridiculous extremes.

305
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: They made up quotes and scenes that never existed. So

306
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Speaker 1: this is just for liberals. This is it's like revenge

307
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: porn for liberals. So it's actually doing pretty well, believe

308
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: it or not, because there's a huge audience of liberals

309
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: that love this kind of stuff. So avoid it if

310
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: you can. Hey, we got lots to get to on

311
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Greg Jared will be a little

312
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: later one of our favorite guests. Also, what's the next

313
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 1: Trump scandal. It's not a real scandal. But what are

314
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: Democrats planning to be the next big scandal? You know,

315
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: they just got the like research and development coming up

316
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 1: with the new scandals all the time. I'll tell you

317
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 1: what it is in a moment. We'll take your calls.

318
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. It's the Sean

319
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. Hey, welcome back. It's the Sean Hannity Show.

320
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: Mark Simone here for Sean. The breaking news. Just a

321
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: little while back, the President has made a surprise visit

322
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: to Iraq with the First Lady. This has screwed up

323
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:14,359
Speaker 1: newsrooms all over the country. You know, yesterday they started

324
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: at first president ever not to visit the troops on Christmas,

325
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. He saw, all those little

326
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: things that a lot of columnists were writing columns for

327
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: tomorrow about the window attack him on this. Well, it

328
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 1: turns out he visited Iraq yesterday and this was not

329
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,120
Speaker 1: in response to those jabs in the news. This had

330
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 1: been planned for some time. In fact, some in the

331
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: press actually knew about it, but we're sworn to secrecy

332
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: for security reasons. Presidents spent a lot of time with

333
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 1: the troops and not only speaking making a speech to them,

334
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: but taking a lot of selfies with them, shaking a

335
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: lot of hands, a lot of conversations with the troops.

336
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: So that's one one one scandal they won't get away with.

337
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 1: They'll try something else that. Yeah. Also, we're planning on

338
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: going after the stock market it's crashing. This is it

339
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 1: where plunging into recession. Remember about twenty minutes ago, I

340
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: told you the dow roaring back up six hundred points.

341
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: It's up seven hundred and fifty now. So there goes

342
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 1: that narrative too. But they'll they'll try whatever they can try. Hey, Also,

343
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: retail sales the biggest year in ten years. It was

344
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: a big boom in retail sales. Now. I don't know

345
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: how twenty nineteen is gonna be, but it was probably

346
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 1: the biggest Christmas season in many, many years. And it's

347
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: just not you know, in stores but also online, but

348
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,160
Speaker 1: a huge, huge Christmas season. You know, when they talk

349
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: about the Dow dropping one of the problems, it's the

350
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: top smartest guys in Wall Street will tell you the

351
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:44,119
Speaker 1: problem is we got used to one thing. In the

352
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: Obama years, the Wall Street was doing fine and main

353
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: Street was a disaster. Well, under this Trump economy, main

354
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: street business is doing great, better even than the stock markets.

355
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: The first time we've had that in many, many, many

356
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: many years. So some of the top Street guys tell

357
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 1: me that's part of the problem. They don't know how

358
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: to play that, they're not used to that scenarios. They

359
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: didn't figure out exactly how to adjust to that. Dow

360
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,199
Speaker 1: up eight hundred now, So it's a good day on

361
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: Wall Street, but Main Street doing very well. You know,

362
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: you always hear the GDP and all that gross domestic product.

363
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: It's up, it's way up. It's been a big year

364
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: in the economy. But GDI is very important. That's gross

365
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 1: domestic income and that's way up for the year. That's

366
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: a key thing. You got two key factors. Income is

367
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: up for the first time in years, and gas prices

368
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: are dramatically down. So that's like another tax cut. So

369
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: he got income up, gas prices down. That's like another

370
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: tax cut, more money to spend, and it's showing up

371
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 1: in the retail world this holiday season. Hey John McLaughlin,

372
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: he's the best polster around. He's got a great article.

373
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: You check this out. It's a Newsmax right now. You know,

374
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: when they tell you the president is dropping him the polls,

375
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 1: it looks bad for twenty twenty. He goes over in

376
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: real detail, read that article. The president's doing fine, and

377
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 1: he looks very good in the polls for twenty twenty.

378
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: And if you look at the mid terms and say,

379
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 1: well it was drowed down from here and down from

380
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,360
Speaker 1: we'll read the artist's pretty good. It really explains that

381
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: Trump is fine. The Trump movement is fine. It's the

382
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: swamp Republicans, the old Republicans, the old RNC who are

383
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: deep down, secretly never Trumpers. They're the ones that are

384
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: hurting things. They're the ones that had a problem in

385
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: the in the midterms. You know, the Paul Ryan's of

386
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 1: the world, who's basically you know, the Republican Chuck Schumer

387
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: just says one thing, does another thing. For example, the

388
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: president takes office together, this is it. We'll get this

389
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: healthcare straighten out. We'll have an alternative to Obamacare. You

390
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 1: assume that all these years Ryan and company were putting

391
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: together the alternative Trump takes office. Even he was stunned.

392
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Not only didn't they put together any alternative. Secretly they're

393
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 1: all for keeping Obamacare. It was put together by drug companies,

394
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 1: insurance companies. Both insurance and drug companies love it. They

395
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 1: happen to be the biggest single lobbyists in America, the

396
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: biggest lobbyist of all. More money flowing into Congress from

397
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 1: drug companies, insurance companies. So Ryan and Company making sure

398
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,760
Speaker 1: that Obamacare stays the way it is. So it's good

399
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: to see him gone. It's good to see one rhino

400
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: swamp snake after another leaving Washington. Hopefully in twenty twenty

401
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 1: you not only have a Trump victory, but a clean

402
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: house some more out of these swamp creatures. You know,

403
00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: as a lot of people pointed out, you know, it's

404
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: nice to say drained the swamp, but this swamp was

405
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: built over fifty years. You're not going to drain this

406
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: in two years. This swamp has deep infrastructure. It's going

407
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: to take a long time to train this swamp. Hey,

408
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: what's the next big scandal coming? Not a real scandal,

409
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 1: but they'll, you know, Democrats busy with the fake news,

410
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: trying to gin up some big scanal. Here's the next

411
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 1: one bone spurs you. You know, sometimes they'll pick on

412
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: the president for not serving in Vietnam bonespurs. You know,

413
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: he had a medical excuse. Bonespurs got you out of

414
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: the draft back then, and the doctor diagnosed him with bonespurs. So,

415
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: but sometimes you'll see them make fun of the president

416
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: over that. They love to make fun of who didn't

417
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: serve when it's a Republican meantime, if it's Bill Clinton

418
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 1: who went to great lengths to dodge the draft, no

419
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: mention of it. President Obama didn't serve, but of course

420
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: he was after Vietnam. You know, the last great real

421
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: combat veteran ian office was George HW. Bush. And then

422
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: you went into a world of a lot of baby

423
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 1: boomers and younger where they just didn't serve. It just

424
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: wasn't that common to serve. You know, it's I think

425
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 1: something like five percent of America serves. So you're going

426
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 1: to have presidents who didn't serve. And the president got

427
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: that medical deferment. So what is coming out now? This

428
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: is years ago in Queens, New York, where the President

429
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: was eighteen years old or nineteen and eligible for the draft,

430
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,120
Speaker 1: and the doctor diagnosed him with bones burns and wrote

431
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 1: up the medical report and that got him out. I

432
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 1: think there was another doctor that also backed it up.

433
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 1: So the doctor who diagnosed him with a bonespurs is dead.

434
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: He's no longer with us. But his daughter has now

435
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: come forward and said the whole report was a fake.

436
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: He faked this medical report. The president didn't really have

437
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: bonespurs This doctor who wrote him a fake medical excuse.

438
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: And the reason the doctor did according to the daughter,

439
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,919
Speaker 1: who knows if she's telling the truth. But this doctor,

440
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: his landlord was Fred Trump, the president's father. He was

441
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: in a Trump building. He did it as a favorite

442
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: of Fred Trump, and then in exchange for that, he

443
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: got very favorable treatment for years after that far as

444
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: rent and renting space and all of that. And what

445
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: about that other doctor, Well, supposedly he was also in

446
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: a Trump building and backed it up just to get

447
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: favorable treatment from the landlord. But there's no evidence of

448
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 1: this at all. This is the daughter say it. Who knows.

449
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 1: She's probably one of these very liberal democratic Trump haters.

450
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: She may have just made the whole thing up. It's

451
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:08,439
Speaker 1: also I mean, the father's dead, but it's also a

452
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: terrible thing to do to your father. I would assume

453
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 1: if you write up fake medical reports and then submit

454
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: them to the government, I assume you're committing all kinds

455
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: of crimes there. So she's basically turning her father into

456
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 1: a totally crooked doctor and criminal. I don't know who

457
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: would do that to their own father. Anyway. Let's take

458
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: a call or two. Let's go to Matt in Florida. Hey, Matt,

459
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to Sean Hannity Show. Hello, sir, Just a little

460
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: note about the wall. If a wall is good enough

461
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 1: for the pope, and how come it's not good enough

462
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: for the United States? A wall is great. Every prison

463
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,360
Speaker 1: uses it. What prison ever said? You know that wall

464
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: is not working, tear it down. Every wall works. You're right,

465
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: good call. The Pope has a wall. Hey, remember when

466
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 1: Barack Obama got out office, he bought that beautiful house

467
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC. First thing he did was spent a

468
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: fortune to put a wall around it. They work. Every

469
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: thing has a wall around it. What is this thing

470
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 1: that walls don't work? Who came who could say that

471
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: with a straight face. You gotta be Chuck Schumer or

472
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi actually looked somebody in the eye and say

473
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,719
Speaker 1: walls don't work. Remember a few years ago they were

474
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 1: all for fences. Fences, they don't mind the walls they mind.

475
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 1: That's why the president lately starts calling it the fence.

476
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: You know it's gonna be a big concrete fence. Actually,

477
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,679
Speaker 1: if you look at the latest design for the wall,

478
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: it's these enormous steel spikes that go up like thirty

479
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 1: feet into the air. And the reason its spikes you

480
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: can see through it, and Border Patrol has told the

481
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,800
Speaker 1: president very important. It's a big help to be able

482
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: to see through the wall because if you do have

483
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: the wall, you really don't know what's going on on

484
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: the other side. Who's approaching it could be somebody with

485
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: explosive trying to blow the wall down. You gotta be

486
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: able to see through the wall. So that's why the

487
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: latest design is made of enormous steel spikes. You can

488
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 1: go online and see it. It's really impressive looking and

489
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the steel poles have these spikes on top of it,

490
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: making it really impossible to climb over. But the way

491
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: it looks it looks like you could call a defense.

492
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: I guess that's why it's calling a defense. It looks

493
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: like an enormously strong, state of the art sort offense. Anyway,

494
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 1: let's take another call or two. Let's go to UH

495
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 1: let's go to Gerald in Bakersfield, California. Hey Gerald, Yeah,

496
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: hello Mark, how you doing Christmas? Sir? You two good.

497
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 1: Say I just wanted to touch base and just express

498
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: my Let me stop waite, stop right here. I hate

499
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: when people touch base. That's the worst thing. Let me

500
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: do this. We get these calls, they leave a message.

501
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch base. How about I trying

502
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: to talk to you. I'm sorry. How about I've been

503
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 1: waiting forever to call you and talk to you at

504
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: I just wanted to touch base. Sounds like you're not

505
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 1: really uninterested. Oh I am very interested. All right, let's

506
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: start over again. Say you've been waiting to talk to me.

507
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: I've been waiting to talk. Oh that's great, looking looking

508
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 1: forward to it. All right? Well, my um, what I

509
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: would like to express is my disappointment and I haven't

510
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 1: heard it made that often the hold the Republicans. As

511
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:11,679
Speaker 1: it turned out, some forty one incumbents retired during the

512
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 1: midterms and the Democrats picked up forty seats. Now, some

513
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: of these guys that retired, I have to say, including Ryan.

514
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: Now he may have been a well let me just

515
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: let a lot of people didn't realize this the loss

516
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: of the House was all Paul Ryan's fault. When you're

517
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 1: the speaker and you've got forty guys retiring, this is

518
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:33,040
Speaker 1: traditionally done. You go to ten of them and convince

519
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: them to stay one more term. You can do it.

520
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: It can be done. Ryan didn't do it. A lot

521
00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 1: of people believe he deliberately didn't do it. I don't

522
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 1: trust this Ryan for a second. He's got all sorts

523
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: of lobbying jobs lined up and waiting, Chamber of Commerce,

524
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: business roundtable. Basically he's in league with them. A lot

525
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,440
Speaker 1: of people think he deliberately didn't ask anybody to stay.

526
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 1: I hate to say I believe that too, because I

527
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: think the next thing he's gonna do is become a

528
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: huge lobbyist. And I'm not sure what side is going

529
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: to be on, but you know it's not gonna be ours.

530
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 1: Don't work. I know is succeed in reelection and forty retire.

531
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean it basically handed the base and handed the

532
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:17,080
Speaker 1: Democrats the House, and anyway, I just wanted to touch base.

533
00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 1: I know you had to touch base all right now, Gerald,

534
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 1: excellent point, excellent call. Thanks for calling. Boy. You know

535
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,639
Speaker 1: you gotta always keep your eye on this Ryan. Watch

536
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 1: this Ryan. He's a slimy, dangerous character. He deliberately You

537
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: can you can do it. It's been done by other speakers.

538
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:35,360
Speaker 1: You can convince ten people to stay one more term.

539
00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 1: That way you won't lose the house. You could have

540
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: had ten stay, would have been easy to do. He

541
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: deliberately didn't do that. He lost us the house for

542
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 1: whatever money lobbying reason. He has Paul Ryan one of

543
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 1: the biggest snakes in the swamp. Anyway. Mark Simone here. Hey,

553
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 1: for Sean Hannity. If you're a Democrat, you might turn

554
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: the radio down for a moment I want to get

555
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 1: you upset, you might start to cry or something. The

556
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: TAO is having a phenomenal day. It's going to close

557
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: up over nine hundred points. This messes up every Democrat

558
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 1: who all weekend? Have you been at Christmas dinners? Family dinners? Arguing?

559
00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: Everybody always say, hey, well, what at the stock markets crashing?

560
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: What are we going into a bear market? Well, it

561
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: had a huge day, up almost a thousand points today.

562
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 1: Now look, how how will fake news report that a

563
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 1: thousand points up in one day? How? Well, here's it's

564
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: one of the fake news headlines. US stocks whip saw erratic.

565
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 1: So this is bad. That's going up, and it says

566
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: with bear market looming, Well, we don't know if there's

567
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: a why would a bear market be looming again? Earnings up,

568
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: fundamentals very strong. Anyway, the best economists, three best economists

569
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: in the world, Larry Cudlow, Art Laugher, Steve Moore. Steve

570
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 1: Moore will be with us in the next hour and

571
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: we'll talk to him about that. We got Greg Jarrett

572
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: coming up. We'll go over the latest with Muller and

573
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: all of that government shutdown. Believe it or not, it

574
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: doesn't affect the Special Council. They pass some little weasley

575
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 1: little laws somewhere that the Special Council is permanently funded

576
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: no matter what, no matter what happens, the Special Council

577
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:48,400
Speaker 1: keeps working. And the latest word coming out of there

578
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: is they'll be done in February, and in February they

579
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: will finish and submit the report. The report from the

580
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Special Council goes to the Attorney General. That's it. That's

581
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: how it in. Special Counsel writes a report, hands it

582
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 1: to the Attorney General. He can throw it in the

583
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: drawer and not tell anybody about it. He can look

584
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: at it and decide on action to be taken. But

585
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen in Congress, the House. The Democrats

586
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 1: are gonna subpoena the document. They're gonna demand to see it.

587
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: So that'll be the big fight coming up. And as

588
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 1: I said, we've got Greg Jarrett coming up in the

589
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: final hour. He's the expert on this best book, the

590
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: Russia Hoax, all about the Muller investigations. We'll get all

591
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: the latest from him. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, they say she's

592
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,959
Speaker 1: working from the hospital, all right, I'll believe that one.

593
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: I see it, but we wish her well. I hope

594
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: she recovers. First of all, she God forbid anything happens

595
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: to her. You think the Democrats are hysterical? Now? Can

596
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: you imagine if President Trump gets to fill a third

597
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: Supreme Court seat? It will be unbearable. All family holiday

598
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 1: dinners will have to be canceled. It'll be too much screaming.

599
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Did you fight with anybody over the holiday dinners and

600
00:31:57,120 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: all that? It's terrible. You can't listen to it. You

601
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: just can't listen to it. You got to get those

602
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: little earbuds, stick him in your ear. Just crank up

603
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: the music, just tune it out. Anyway, We've got a

604
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: big hour coming up. Steve Moore, the great economist, will

605
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: be with us in the next hour. We'll talk to

606
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 1: him anyway, we'll go over everything coming with Muller and company.

607
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: What's the latest on all of that. We'll have all

608
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 1: the latest for you on the shutdown. Sean will be

609
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:23,640
Speaker 1: back soon. It's Mark Simone here. Normally I'm on WRR,

610
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 1: big flagship station. Well, another two hours to go. Mark

611
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: Simone here for Sean Hannity. Well, welcome back to the

612
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Mark Simone here for Sean. Normally I'm

613
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: on w o R, our big flagship station here in

614
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: New York, but I've been off all week, so I'm

615
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: actually wiped out here. I'm tired. I'm not used to,

616
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not used to doing a radio show

617
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 1: for the last five days. Like you know, you take

618
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: a week off and then you go back to the

619
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 1: gym for the first time. But we got a big

620
00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: hour coming up. Doug shown we don't have me yet,

621
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 1: do we no what happened to him? We'll find him.

622
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: Doug Show's a great guest. Oh and then we got

623
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,280
Speaker 1: Steve Moore, the great Economist. We've got breaking news all

624
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: day to day. At the beginning of the show, we

625
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 1: found out that the President has made a surprise visit

626
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:09,600
Speaker 1: to Iraq to see the troops, upsetting Democrats who had

627
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: planned to attack him for this the whole week. But

628
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: he and this is not a response to that. This

629
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 1: was something that had been planned in the planning stages

630
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: for many days, secret visit to Iraq, but it was

631
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: unveiled today. Now the other big news, the DOAO has

632
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: made a roaring comeback. It closed up over a thousand points,

633
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,360
Speaker 1: a thousand and eighty five. The dow up in one day.

634
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: That's the biggest day in the Tao in seven years.

635
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,880
Speaker 1: That is huge, a roaring comeback. What's today Wednesday? So

636
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: you got two more days of the Doao. It could

637
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 1: be a big week the year ends. We didn't find him,

638
00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: Dug shown no what I'm worried about him. He's usually

639
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: a very reliable guest. So the DOO up a thousand points,

640
00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,239
Speaker 1: This is great news. Now here's so what's you know?

641
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: The controversy has been the FED chairman, Chairman Powell, who

642
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: even if you're willing to accept the rate increase that

643
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: has justified the quarter of a point, his language upset everybody.

644
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 1: The last Fed announcement, everybody had kind of got it

645
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: through their head, we're going to have a quarter of

646
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,319
Speaker 1: a point increase and that'll be it for a while

647
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:22,399
Speaker 1: and we'll live with it. So he did the quarter

648
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: of a point increase, but then afterwards made this incredibly

649
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 1: hawkish statement, very unusual for a FED chairman, and after

650
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: the Tao had been through a really rough, choppy month.

651
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: Usually you watch your language, but he was brutal not

652
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: only the rate increase but he said, there's more common,

653
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: probably a lot more coming. It was extremely antagonistic language

654
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 1: from a FED chairman. So that's why all the calls

655
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: to for the president to fire him. And there's some

656
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: controversy as to whether a president can fire a FED chairman.

657
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: He's a governor. You can fire a governor. But this

658
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: a lot of legal thinking that you can't actually fire

659
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: a FED chairman. But we'll get back to that. We

660
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: found Doug Shown, who's the great polster, author, political analysts,

661
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 1: great guy, very smart guy, Fox News columnist for Newsmax.

662
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: Doug shown, how you doing. I'm doing just fine. Thank you,

663
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: as always marked for a very very kind introduction. Well,

664
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:18,879
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. And listen, we explain these

665
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: democrats to us. They just seem to lack basic coping skills.

666
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: They just seem to be hysterical about everything. They just

667
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: can't seem to accept the fact that Trump won and

668
00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: come back in four years and try again. What's wrong

669
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: with them? Well, I think they see Trump's approval rating thinking,

670
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 1: they see that they've got the house now and they're

671
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 1: digging in in ways that may not be productive for

672
00:35:46,320 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: the country, but they believe is productive for them. Politically.

673
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,719
Speaker 1: I think that's the best quick explanation I can offer. Mark. Yeah,

674
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: but you know he's all right as approval ratings, he's fine. Now,

675
00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, the Democrats are going to start a hearing

676
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 1: on everything of it here on his tax returns, hearing

677
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,839
Speaker 1: on this on that, it's the whole thing. Aren't they

678
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,880
Speaker 1: going to shoot themselves in the foot with all these hearings?

679
00:36:07,400 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: Well they could, but you know, his appropal rating is

680
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 1: about forty two this morning as a real clear politics.

681
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:18,360
Speaker 1: So I think the Democrat's attitude is it worked pretty

682
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: well in the congressional midterms. Why not stick with it,

683
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: especially given a left wing that you know as well

684
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: as I do, is emboldened and arguably empowered and also

685
00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: nuts when you agree, Well, I'm not going to call

686
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: them nuts, but I certainly don't share their worldview. I

687
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: think that's fair. We certainly different on that and different fundamentally. Look,

688
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,920
Speaker 1: I'm not pretty market capitalists who believes in the social

689
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,080
Speaker 1: safety and not a lot of them the far left

690
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 1: believes in socialism. I'm not a socialist and never will be. Hey,

691
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 1: but you know, Sin, you're the expert poster. You know,

692
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: if you look at these Network polls in New York Times,

693
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: all these polls, the metrics are terrible. These they put

694
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,439
Speaker 1: Republicans like a twenty three percent in the sample, which

695
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 1: is idy. So really as approval ring is probably fifty,

696
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it is fifty. I

697
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: think he is underwater. And I think what the Democrats believe,

698
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: rightly or wrongingly, is confrontation keeps the party together and

699
00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:17,359
Speaker 1: you know, is passable as a political strategy. Look, I

700
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: believe in compromise. I think we should compromise on immigration.

701
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: Do some sort of border security enhancement combined with a

702
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:30,719
Speaker 1: path to citizenship or data and for the illegals to

703
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 1: give them a right to stay here legally. I think

704
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: that makes sense. It's passed before and arguably should pass again.

705
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: That's that's what I think. Yeah, but you know, what

706
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:42,760
Speaker 1: is the fear of walls? What is this wall hatred

707
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 1: among Democrats? Who do you say border security enhancement? You

708
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:49,320
Speaker 1: build a big wall? Problem solved? Well, Trump himself that

709
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 1: build a waller of fence, and if that represents a

710
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,520
Speaker 1: little softening, hoping, hopefully we can get to a consensus,

711
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 1: because one thing is for sure, we do need border

712
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 1: security yeah, Well, I think the reason is if you've

713
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: seen the latest design of what the wall will be,

714
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: it's these big steel spikes. It's it's like the most

715
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: incredible state of the art fence on steroids. So I

716
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 1: guess under you know, if you look at it, you

717
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: could technically call it a fence, but it's it's it's

718
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: as big as a wall. So when Chuck's humor and

719
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,280
Speaker 1: these people say with a straight faced walls don't work,

720
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 1: what on earth are they talking about that? I don't know.

721
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean, Mark Luck, They've voted in the past for walls.

722
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 1: I'm not against walls, per SAE. I'm for enhanced border

723
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: security anyway we can get it. I think the issue

724
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: was not to fight politically, but to make the country safer.

725
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 1: But don't you think if they do hearings, and they will,

726
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: The problem is it's not like Muller ware. It's mysterious

727
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: and secret. The hearings are on TV. You can watch

728
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: them live, and people start to watch this and say

729
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: it's a lot of trivia. They don't seem to really

730
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:57,680
Speaker 1: have anything here. Well, until it happens, we don't know

731
00:38:57,719 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 1: that that'll be the case. Certainly, the demo krets could overreach.

732
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: It's happened before. I remember in nineteen ninety eight the

733
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 1: impeachment when I was working for Bill Clinton, and clearly

734
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: that did not help the Republicans one bit. But until

735
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,879
Speaker 1: we see what happens and what's done, I don't think

736
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: we can say definitively what the outcome will be. Mark. Yeah, hey,

737
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,680
Speaker 1: you're you're a great poster and analyst. Twenty twenty. Who

738
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: do you think is the leading Democrat right now? Like

739
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 1: a couple of them. I think Joe Biden is probably

740
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,480
Speaker 1: the leader of Bernie Sanders second, But I have no

741
00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: certainty that either of them will be the nominee. My

742
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 1: only certainty is that it will be a chaotic process.

743
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: In the probable beneficiary of a chaotic process, notwithstanding what

744
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:44,239
Speaker 1: I've said before, will probably be the incumbent Donald Trump. Yeah. Hey,

745
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,319
Speaker 1: but you've worked with Mike Bloomberg, and you know when

746
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,360
Speaker 1: he wants to do something, he's determined he'll spend money,

747
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: He'll open up the check. But what if he wants

748
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 1: to really do this and spend one hundred million or

749
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 1: billion or whatever he wants to spend. He's I mean,

750
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 1: he's a big force. He could take that nomination from everybody. Well, look,

751
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: I obviously have worked for him for twenty years of

752
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: great respect and affection for him. He's not made a decision,

753
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: but I would agree with your assessment. When he puts

754
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: his mind to something, he is purposeful, committed, and willing

755
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 1: to do what it takes to win. So, look, he

756
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: would be a very good president in my judgment, and

757
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: it would be a I think a great race between

758
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,839
Speaker 1: Trump and Bloomberg. But we're not there yet. But when

759
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: you say Biden is that kind of doesn't say much

760
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party. There's not much bench there. If

761
00:40:33,719 --> 00:40:38,240
Speaker 1: you've got Bernie and Biden, two eighty year olds, well,

762
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: I have to agree with you. You know, Bernie is

763
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: outside what I think makes sense, and I don't think

764
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: he could get elected and Biden, you know my senses,

765
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,560
Speaker 1: his time has largely passed. He may well have a

766
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: broader appeal than most, but he is a gaff prone

767
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 1: guy who has not exactly been too successful when he's

768
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: run on his own. Yeah, when when they talk about

769
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 1: Beto o'roorica or something like that, that's just another Obama.

770
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: It's a charismatic guy with no resume. That's That's also

771
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: a bad formula too, isn't it. Well, I mean, compared

772
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: to Obama or compared to Rooric. Obama did have a

773
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: resume and then the Senate for a couple of years.

774
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 1: Rooric has been a congressman, what six years of our

775
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 1: member correctly, yeah, hard And you know, I mean I

776
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,239
Speaker 1: thought he ran a novel campaign, but it wasn't clear

777
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:33,000
Speaker 1: to me what he stood for or what he said

778
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: that that was so distinctive. Well, he look good, you know,

779
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 1: they said he's the new Bobby Kennedy. Took his jacket off,

780
00:41:38,239 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: he rolled up his sleeves. Instead of standing still, he

781
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,960
Speaker 1: walked back and forth on the stage. It's old gimmicks

782
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: and image. And well, I was gonna say, looking like

783
00:41:45,960 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Bobby Kennedy is not a criteria to be elected president.

784
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 1: But explain the phenomenon of Democrats embracing people like that,

785
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 1: Like look at this o'casio Cortez. She was a bartender

786
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:01,959
Speaker 1: eight months ago. How does this happen? Well, I think

787
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: the left wing of the Democratic Party, like the right

788
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: wing of the Republican Party, wants something new and different,

789
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: and at least in the Democratic Party, there is a

790
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 1: willingness to opt for socialism, left wing politics and policies

791
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 1: like medicare for all, jobs for all, fifteen dollars, guaranteed

792
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: minimum wage for all that I think are unrealistic and

793
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: potentially destructive. Yeah, and what is this democrats love of socialism?

794
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,200
Speaker 1: You know, any socialist a country that has a problem

795
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,880
Speaker 1: with the illegal aliens trying to break in the way around,

796
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 1: it's the other way around. And I remember my dear friend, client,

797
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 1: teacher Pat moynihan saying he hasn't seen a country, a

798
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:51,759
Speaker 1: communist country that people are fighting to get into, they're

799
00:42:51,800 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: fighting to get out of it. And I think, you know,

800
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:59,359
Speaker 1: that's basically right. So, but do you understand the democratic mine?

801
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,439
Speaker 1: What is it with these I mean it all sounds great,

802
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 1: you know, bleeding hearts sort of help everybody, but it's

803
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: not real. It's not the practice. Well, the reason I

804
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: said it was destructive is, I mean, the principles themselves

805
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:14,239
Speaker 1: are good. I want more people covered by healthcare, want

806
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: more people to be employed, I want more people to

807
00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: earn more income. But we got to pay for all this.

808
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,319
Speaker 1: And I'm like you, I think, Mark, I'm very skeptical

809
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 1: of government run programmed So those are my key objections. Yeah,

810
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 1: so what do you think is going to happen as

811
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: far as the shutdown? You know, I think and hope

812
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:39,800
Speaker 1: that the Democrats and the Republicans move closer together. Trump

813
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 1: having cold the wall potentially offense and the Democrats having

814
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 1: in the past embraced a wall or enhanced border security.

815
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: I hope that happens, but so far there's no evidence

816
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 1: it is. You guys got to stop saying enhanced border security.

817
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:56,959
Speaker 1: It sounds like one of those Pentagon terms. How about

818
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 1: a bid all. I don't mean it that way, as

819
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 1: a way of protecting our country from people who shouldn't

820
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: be here. Yeah, well right, he dug show. Where should

821
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:10,640
Speaker 1: people go to read you? What's the best? I'm at

822

Speaker 1: Steve Moore, we'll be with us in a little while.

831
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: He's one of the great economists. It's been an amazing

832
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:43,800
Speaker 1: day on Wall Street to doubt, up over a thousand points,

833
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: biggest day in seven years. We'll talk to him about

834
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:49,120
Speaker 1: all of that and what it means coming up. It's

835
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 1: Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Hey, welcome back. It's

00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,680

839
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: to me. There is a go fund me for the Wall. Yeah,

840
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,560
Speaker 1: that's true. There's a great guy, triple amputee, a veteran

841
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 1: go fund me for the Wall. It didn't start that

842
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 1: long ago, about two weeks ago. He's up, but the

843
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:15,640
Speaker 1: eighteen million already, so you can you can look that up.

844
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:20,399
Speaker 1: Biggest day in seven years on the Dow. Amazing day,

845
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 1: up one thousand and eighty six, almost almost eleven hundred points.

846
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: Phenomenal day. Let's take a call or two. Let's go

847
00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:31,840
Speaker 1: to Greg in Ohio. Greg, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.

848
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:37,200
Speaker 1: Thank you Mark for Shire. Thanks Greg. There you good.

849
00:45:37,239 --> 00:45:40,799
Speaker 1: Cool is I keep hearing democrats, you know, talk about

850
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:43,720
Speaker 1: gun control, but how can they ever have good control

851
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: if they don't shut the border. Well, that's a good point.

852
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 1: It's a big source of illegal guns coming over the border.

853
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 1: Not to mention drugs coming over the border. Not to

854
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: mention who knows what we've caught terrorists coming over the border.

855
00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 1: You know, when I share that video people crossing the

856
00:45:57,440 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 1: border illegally, you know, it's like a knapsack, suitcase's pack stick.

857
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 1: Who knows what's in there? Terrorists bringing stuff into the country.

858
00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,440
Speaker 1: Where are you in Ohio, Greg, other than Shunter, Ohio

859
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 1: and too far from Columbus. And what have you noticed

860
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,839
Speaker 1: this past year? People doing better, People happier, people making

861
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,919
Speaker 1: more money. I think people are doing better. And see

862
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: what people seem to be happier? I think, you know,

863
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: you're a lot of people negative talk about people haveing

864
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 1: fights in this and that ye other, and there's a

865
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: lot of road rage. I do see a lot of that.

866
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: But when I'm in the store to people to stir

867
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: go out away, to be nice and hold doors for

868
00:46:32,200 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: people and help each other. So it just seems different

869
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 1: than what you hear. Now, you know what you got

870
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,480
Speaker 1: to come to New York for a couple of days.

871
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: You'll love it. It's so different. You get pushed and shove.

872
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 1: Nobody holds the door for you. I'll knock you over

873
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: to get through the door. But we love it here

874
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: in New York. But Greg, welcome to the show. Thanks

875
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:53,000
Speaker 1: for calling from Ohio. Great talking to you. Yeah, it's

876
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's We're going to talk to Steve

877
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 1: Moore in a moment. But the thousand points, it's a

878
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,640
Speaker 1: huge day in the Dao. He'll explain it to us

879
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:05,600
Speaker 1: exactly what's caused in it. It was down for all

880
00:47:05,640 --> 00:47:07,359
Speaker 1: the wrong reasons. A lot of people like to point

881
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 1: to the China negotiations, the battle with China, the tariffs.

882
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:14,240
Speaker 1: That is a slight factor, but not a big factor.

883
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:17,080
Speaker 1: You know, one thing they got buried by the fake news.

884
00:47:17,160 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: They don't make mention of it anywhere. In that China fight.

885
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: China made an enormous concession about ten days ago, a

886
00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:28,879
Speaker 1: startlingly big concession for round one. They agreed to cut

887
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: auto tariffs from forty to fifteen percent. That's a huge,

888
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: huge concession from China, especially in the first round. So

889
00:47:37,760 --> 00:47:43,360
Speaker 1: that fight is going well earnings are very strong. Retail sales,

890
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: We've had the best retail year and I think ten

891
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: years this holiday season GDI. That's an important number. Gross

892
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: domestic income, it's way up. Fundamentals in business very strong.

893
00:47:54,960 --> 00:47:57,200
Speaker 1: So we'll talk to Steve Moore when we come back.

894
00:47:57,200 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 1: He's one of the great economists in the world, and

895
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:01,400
Speaker 1: we'll what he's got it. He can explain all this

896
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: to us. Record day on the Dow, biggest one day

897
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 1: rising the Dow in seven years, up almost eleven hundred points.

898

Speaker 1: on Wall Street, and we've got with us. Isn't the

908

Speaker 1: three best economists in the world. Steve Moore. Of course,

909
00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 1: Larry Cudlow and Art Laugher, all three of them got

910

Speaker 1: together on a book and it's come out. Now. It's

911
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: a book you should get. It's actually Larry of course

912
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: left to join the Trump administration, but it's Steve Moore

913
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 1: and Art Laugher. It's trump Bonomics. If you want to

914
00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 1: have all this explained to you, really well, it's trump Bonomics.

915
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: Get the book and the author best selling book. The

916
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: author is on the line. Steve Moore, How you doing well? Mark?

917
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: I do believe in Santa Claus after today? That was

918
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 1: an amazing What did you say? Is this the biggest

919
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: day for the dower in how many years? Seven years?

920
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 1: Seven years? Wow? Well he Santa Claus has varying guests

921
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:23,239
Speaker 1: this year. I predicted that. You know that when the

922
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 1: went you know what, the twenty two thousand, there were

923
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,879
Speaker 1: a lot of Jackson stops are very cheap right now,

924
00:49:28,920 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 1: even with the thousand point game. You know, the real economy,

925
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: Mark is very strong. I mean Trump has created an

926
00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,400
Speaker 1: economy where twenty eighteen was probably the best year for

927
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: the economy in twenty years. We had three three a

928
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,319
Speaker 1: half percent growth, We have the lowest unemployment rate in

929
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: fifty years. We have construction manufacturing through the roof. We

930
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,479
Speaker 1: have seven million more jobs than people to fill them.

931
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 1: So I don't know. You've been in this game a

932
00:49:51,560 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: long time, mark, but I've not rarely seen where you know,

933
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: the economy's headed in one direction and then the stock

934
00:49:57,160 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: market has been headed in the other direction. But look,

935
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 1: I think fundamentally this US economy continues to steam forward.

936
00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: You know, a very smart guy and Wall Street told

937
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:07,840
Speaker 1: me they're one of the big problems, not China, not

938
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: the other Somebody said they're not used to Wall Street

939
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:13,520
Speaker 1: not doing as well as Main Street. Mainstream has been

940
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: booming more than Wall Street, and they haven't figured out

941
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: how to play that yet. That's part of their problem.

942
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: Does that make sense? I think it is. Look, I

943
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,520
Speaker 1: think that the Fed did a disastrous job and made

944
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:27,839
Speaker 1: a catastrophic decision last week to raise interest rates. Well

945
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 1: we have we I mean, think about this, We've got

946
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,439
Speaker 1: the perfect economy. Up until when the FED raised interest rates.

947
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:36,120
Speaker 1: We had very strong economic growth, as strongest economic growth

948
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:40,880
Speaker 1: in something like fifteen years. We had nice industrial production numbers,

949
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: high consumer confidence, and no inflation in the economy. You know,

950
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:47,319
Speaker 1: it was like you know, what's the old cliche that

951
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 1: the FED really truly took the punch pole away from

952
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 1: this parody just when it was getting going, and there

953
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: were no signs of inflation. So I don't really understand that.

954
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 1: In fact, if anything, there's deflation. Look what's happened to

955
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: the royal price. Looks app from the prices to of

956
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 1: things like silver and to you know, ask farmers whether

957
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 1: they think there's inflation in the economy. You know, with

958
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 1: the price of soybeans, the price of wheat and cotton

959
00:51:08,040 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: have been following, so you know, there is not inflation.

960
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 1: We've got high growth. Mark, somebody has to explain to

961
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,360
Speaker 1: me why the FED would be raising interest rates and

962
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: that kind of environment. The other thing, of course, that's

963
00:51:19,239 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 1: you know out there, as you know the eight hundred

964
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: pound grilla, is this trade war with China, which I

965
00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 1: believe Trump is right to fight because any China is

966
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: a you know, increasing menace on the international scene. But

967
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 1: if you know, Mark Calpey, that's if Trump can get

968
00:51:33,680 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: this trade war fixed, and he can win some concessions

969
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,520
Speaker 1: from China and opening their markets and stop stealing our

970
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 1: intellectual property, you think it was a good day for

971
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:44,879
Speaker 1: the stock market today. Wait till we get that deal done. Hey,

972
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 1: Shana made a big concession the other day on autotiffs.

973
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 1: They loaded him. They loaded him from forty to fifteen percent.

974
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,280
Speaker 1: That's an astonishing concession. But the media hid the story

975
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: and buried it. That may have heard the market by

976
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,520
Speaker 1: not publicizing that enough. And you're exactly right about that.

977
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 1: And you know what's so interesting about that is it's

978
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:05,480
Speaker 1: just the opening bid for China. I mean, China's gonna

979
00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:08,879
Speaker 1: have to make some very significant, uh you know, concessions here.

980
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 1: I mean they put most very high, you know, costs

981
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 1: on American because it's very difficult for American businessmen and

982
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: women to do, you know, business in China. And then

983
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 1: as you know, they've been stealing and cheating and uh,

984
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, you saw what happened when they're hacking into

985
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: the you know, the databases of American companies. That's that's thievery.

986
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,919
Speaker 1: So I think Trump is writing the fighting, the good

987
00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 1: fight here, and I think it's about time somebody confronted Beijing. Um,

988
00:52:34,920 --> 00:52:37,640
Speaker 1: we'll see whether Trump can get them to back down.

989
00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going through. As Trump once told me, Look,

990
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: if we you know, if we can't trade with China,

991
00:52:42,160 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: we sneeze if they can't read with us, they they they,

992
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:47,239
Speaker 1: you know, catch pneumonia. And there's a lot of truth

993
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah. Now, Steve Moore has been advising President

994
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 1: Trump all along, and he's written a great new book

995
00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:55,080
Speaker 1: with Art Laugher called Trump Aonomics. Get this book if

996
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: you're interested in this subdi there's no better books than

997
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:00,720
Speaker 1: Trump Eonomics. Hey, getting back to this Fed Commission, since

998
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 1: the economy is doing so well, maybe you could justify

999
00:53:03,560 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 1: a quarter of a point increase. But his language, his

1000
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: language was ridiculously aggressive about many more rate increases coming.

1001
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 1: Why would he do something like that? Because I think

1002
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: the fact that has a failed model, Mark. I think

1003
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:20,040
Speaker 1: that the set has been operating on the principle that

1004
00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: there's a kind of limit to our economic capacity in

1005
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,279
Speaker 1: our growth, and that you know, we can only grow

1006
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: it's a two percent and if we get past that,

1007
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,800
Speaker 1: it's going to cause inflation. That's that's wrong on two counts.

1008
00:53:30,920 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: Number one, there's no limit to our growth, as you remember,

1009
00:53:33,960 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: aren't We had rates of six percent growth under Reagan

1010
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: and you know, six percent growth under John F. Kennedy

1011
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: after his tax cuts so you expand the production of

1012
00:53:42,640 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 1: capacity in the country. There's no reason we can't grow

1013
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 1: it three, four or five percent with the right set

1014
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:50,000
Speaker 1: of policies, which, by the way, Donald Trump is putting

1015
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 1: in place. The other fallacy is that liberal You know,

1016
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,840
Speaker 1: a lot of these liberal economists believe that, you know,

1017
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,200
Speaker 1: increased growth causes of more inflation. But as you know,

1018
00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,359
Speaker 1: you mentioned our is one of the great economists. You're

1019
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,560
Speaker 1: exactly right about that. You know, as our laugher has

1020
00:54:03,560 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: taught us, when the economy produces more apples, the price

1021
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:08,879
Speaker 1: of apples goes down, it doesn't go up. So an

1022
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: increase in growth should lead to more products and lower prices,

1023
00:54:13,080 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: not higher products. You see what I'm seeing? What I mean? Yeah, hey,

1024
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 1: Now it turns out the retail Christmas season is the

1025
00:54:18,640 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: biggest in ten years. A lot of money. Is great,

1026
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: And explain the number GDI that's gross domestic income. That's

1027
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 1: a crucial number of people do have more money, now,

1028
00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: don't they? We do. And you know this is a

1029
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: point that you know, economists like myself and Larry Cutlo

1030
00:54:35,239 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: and others have been making. You know throughout the years

1031
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,880
Speaker 1: that the average for all the talk about this being

1032
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 1: a tax cut for the rich. I mean, as you know,

1033
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:44,360
Speaker 1: our Laugher and Larry Culo and I help write the

1034
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,120
Speaker 1: plan for Trump, so we know that building than just

1035
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,800
Speaker 1: about anyone. This was not a tax cut for rich people.

1036
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 1: It was a tax cut for our businesses. So they

1037
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: can invest more and hire more and pay more. And

1038
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: guess what, that's exactly what they're doing. They're investing more

1039
00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: in their companies. They're paying workers more and bonuses and

1040
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 1: pay raises and more benefits. And we estimated at the

1041
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation that the average family saves about twenty five

1042
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: hundred dollars a year. Well, guess what, you know, you

1043
00:55:10,239 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: you give the average you know, fifty or sixty thousand

1044
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:15,279
Speaker 1: dollars worker a twenty five hundred dollars raise. I don't

1045
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 1: care what Nancy pros she says, that ain't what did

1046
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: she call them a problems? That that isn't problems. And

1047
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,480
Speaker 1: guess what. People feel better about their financial situation. They

1048
00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 1: feel like they got a little bit more money in

1049
00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 1: the bank and their in their wallets and they spent Yeah,

1050
00:55:29,040 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, look look at the the uh, the retail

1051
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 1: not the retailers, but the you know, online sales for Christmas.

1052
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 1: I think they were record high this year and shattered

1053
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: the old record. Yeah, Amazon had a record and also

1054
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:46,400
Speaker 1: what they call the fang stocks, Facebook, Apple, Netflix, Google,

1055
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,040
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Uh, they were having the only problem

1056
00:55:49,040 --> 00:55:51,719
Speaker 1: with those companies as their stock. Right, their stocks have

1057
00:55:51,800 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: fallen a lot, but they're still selling a lot of goods. Yeah,

1058
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:56,440
Speaker 1: but they had they even that's when the thing is

1059
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: that they've been in trouble. But they had a big

1060
00:55:58,360 --> 00:56:02,759
Speaker 1: comeback today as part of this rally. So that's good news. Biggest. Look,

1061
00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 1: I think I'm really bullish on the US. I think

1062
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:09,279
Speaker 1: there's way too much negativity. There's way too much, you know,

1063
00:56:09,680 --> 00:56:12,440
Speaker 1: concern that we're headed into a recession. Now. Look, I

1064
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: don't have a crystal ball. I can't tell you what

1065
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: the economy is going to look like a year or

1066
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 1: two from now. But I can tell you this mark

1067
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:22,280
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump has put in place very pro growth

1068
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: economic policies on regulation, on energy. By the way, mark,

1069
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: did you see the story a few weeks ago that

1070
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,439
Speaker 1: the United States is now producing more oil and gas

1071
00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 1: than we're consuming And that's the first time that's happened

1072
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 1: in our lifetimes practically. Yeah. Also, gas prices way down. Now,

1073
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 1: people forget that's another tax cut. Basically, yeah, oh yeah, yeah.

1074
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:45,000
Speaker 1: Every every penny reduction in the price of gasoline at

1075
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: the pump puts over a billion dollars into the hands

1076
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: of consumers that they can spend on going to the

1077
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: store or buying groceries, or paying for their health insurance,

1078
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: or going out taking their spouts out for dinner or

1079
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,040
Speaker 1: whatever it might be. So that's a real stimulus the

1080
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 1: economy as well. It's like a tax cut when the

1081
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,359
Speaker 1: price of gasoline goes down at the pub. Wow, hey,

1082
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,160
Speaker 1: now had the biggest day in seven years, up eleven

1083
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: hundred points. You know who I felt really bad for.

1084
00:57:09,440 --> 00:57:11,880
Speaker 1: I saw you on some TV show yesterday. Nice woman,

1085
00:57:11,920 --> 00:57:15,200
Speaker 1: but you were saying the economy strong, fundamental, and she

1086
00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:17,960
Speaker 1: was screaming at you. That's a recession. The whole market's

1087
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: gonna crash. I feel bad for. What must she think today? Well,

1088
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:23,160
Speaker 1: you know what, there's a lot of people who hate

1089
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,920
Speaker 1: Trump so much that they're rooting against American account. These

1090
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:27,760
Speaker 1: are a lot of people who just want the economy

1091
00:57:27,800 --> 00:57:30,520
Speaker 1: to fail. And you know that's that's too bad, because

1092
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 1: we want everybody to succeed. We want everybody to get

1093
00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: a pay raise and more money in their pockets. And

1094
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: so I'm rooting for America. As I said today on CNN,

1095
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 1: I'm just bullish on America. And if we keep with

1096
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: these policies in place, we're getting more growth, more and

1097
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 1: middle class workers. That's what it's all about, Mark, is

1098
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: helping the middle class have more jobs and higher salaries

1099
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: and higher take home pay. Yeah. Well, Steve Moore, you

1100
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: advised the president. Uh you aren't Laugher. Larry Cuddler are

1101
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 1: best economists. What do you think is next? What can

1102
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 1: he do this year? Could there be another tax reform bill.

1103
00:58:03,080 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: I think we've got to get the Fed to stop

1104
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: raising interest rates because I think that's sucking a lot

1105
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 1: of the oxygen out of the economy. I think he's

1106
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: got to get this trade deal done with China. That's

1107
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: the number one goal of the Trump administration. And by

1108
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: the way, I think about this, Mark, there are how

1109
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 1: many people live in China over a billion, right over

1110
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,600
Speaker 1: a billion Chinese. Imagine if we can sell our products

1111
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: in an open market to China what that would mean

1112
00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: in terms of our productive capacity to sell things. You know,

1113
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 1: countries like China and India and you know these Asian

1114
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:34,120
Speaker 1: countries that have so many people. So you know, it's

1115
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:35,880
Speaker 1: let's open up our trade, but do it in a

1116
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 1: way that's fair and Trump Trump has always told me Mark,

1117
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: So I believe in free trade, but it's got to

1118
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: be fair trade, and it's got to be a level

1119
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: playing field. If we've got that level playing field, I

1120
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: believe America can help compete anybody. Hey, well, Steve Moore,

1121
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: just explain too. There's probably some Democrats who listen to

1122
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: Radio another screaming about all these tax cuts. Only do

1123
00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:57,520
Speaker 1: is help the corporations? This terra for if you win

1124
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:59,960
Speaker 1: it all? Does this help the corporations? But explain how

1125
00:59:00,080 --> 00:59:03,920
Speaker 1: that helps the average American. Well, as I said earlier,

1126
00:59:03,960 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: you know, if you get a better business climate and

1127
00:59:06,560 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 1: you help businesses. You know my old boss, Tecarmy, who

1128
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 1: used to be the House Majority leader for the Republicans

1129
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:13,480
Speaker 1: many years ago, he used to say, you know, liberals

1130
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: love jobs, but they hate employers. And a Mark, you

1131
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 1: can't have a job without people, you know, providing the jobs.

1132
00:59:19,200 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 1: People you know, entrepreneurs and businessman and women establishing their

1133
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 1: own businesses. Did you know, Mark, today we have something

1134
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 1: like twenty seven million small businesses in America, and this

1135
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 1: was a tax kept for those businesses so they could

1136
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,280
Speaker 1: instead of hiring ten people, maybe they can utter twelve

1137
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:37,720
Speaker 1: or fifteen. And you know, small businesses become medium businesses

1138
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 1: and some of them may become the next you know,

1139
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 1: Google or Apple. So that's how you do it. You

1140
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 1: make your businesses. American businesses succeed and they can hire

1141
00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: more workers. And incidentally, if you look at the situation

1142
00:59:49,040 --> 00:59:51,600
Speaker 1: today in terms of the global economy, mark you know this.

1143
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:55,040
Speaker 1: Guess what country has the high best performing economy this year?

1144
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: The United States. Well, I love Steve Morek is not

1145
00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:00,920
Speaker 1: always be smart, but he always throws in Mark, you

1146
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,040
Speaker 1: know this as well as anyone else. But I know

1147
01:00:03,160 --> 01:00:05,440
Speaker 1: because you follow the stuff that you've probably followed it

1148
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 1: as long as I. How long have you and I

1149
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 1: known each Other's a long time. Yes, I'm sure after

1150
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: time you're nine steps ahead of me on this, so

1151
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:13,919
Speaker 1: I don't always know. Well, you hang out with smart

1152
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:15,760
Speaker 1: people like Larry Cudlow, so I know you can all

1153
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:17,840
Speaker 1: this stuff too. Yeah, well, hey, if you want to,

1154
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 1: if you want to really know this stuff, if you

1155
01:00:19,880 --> 01:00:22,640
Speaker 1: want to really learn this stuff, it's a great book.

1156
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: Steve Moore wrote it with Art Laugher, and it didn't

1157
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:26,880
Speaker 1: Larry Cudlow have a hand in it too? Oh yeah,

1158
01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean he was working on it with us, and

1159
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden Donald Trumps stole him away

1160
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 1: from us, and now he's the chief economist for the

1161
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 1: White House. And that's you know what an honor that

1162
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:38,800
Speaker 1: is for the country and for Larry and for Trump.

1163
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean it's a great combination. Yeah. So if you

1164
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: want to really understand all this stuff, actually, if you

1165
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 1: want to and then sound like a genius with all

1166
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 1: your friends, get the book. It's a great book by

1167
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 1: the three best economists. It's called trump Andomics. It's a

1168
01:00:50,360 --> 01:00:53,040
Speaker 1: new book. It's already a bestseller, Trump Andomics. Go out

1169
01:00:53,040 --> 01:00:55,080
Speaker 1: and get the book. And Steve Moore, where should people

1170
01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: go to read your columns? Well, let me just say

1171
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,040
Speaker 1: one thing about the book. You know, people say, I

1172
01:00:59,080 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: don't want to read that book like economics. This isn't

1173
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,800
Speaker 1: really about economics. It's about how Trump did it, how

1174
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: we you know, made America first and lending this philosophy

1175
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: behind us. And you know, so people can read my

1176
01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 1: stuff at Heritage dot org. And Mark, I hope you

1177
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 1: have a happy, Happy New Year or my friend. All right,

1178
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,040

Speaker 1: Kevin McAllister. Yeah, Now listen that Home Alone. That kid

1200
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 1: who's now looks like he's seventy. Now, how old is

1201
01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: he must be like thirty. He's got a new commercial.

1202

Speaker 1: You can see it online. It's it's actually for Google.

1203
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 1: It is a great commercial where he's home alone. Only

01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,000
Speaker 1: now he's a helpless millennial and he uses his Amazon

1205
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,240
Speaker 1: We must be the Google home pot actually to do

1206
01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: everything for him. That would make a great movie. You know,

1207
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,720
Speaker 1: the worst Christmas film is It's a Wonderful Life. I

1208
01:02:51,760 --> 01:02:53,919
Speaker 1: don't get that film at I mean, it's brilliantly done,

1209
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 1: it's well acted, but it makes no sense at all.

1210
01:02:56,760 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, they show you what the town would look

1211
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:02,080
Speaker 1: like without Jimmy Stewart look much better without him at nightclubs,

1212
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,120
Speaker 1: at had casinos. With him, it was the dullest town

1213
01:03:05,160 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 1: in the world. So the whole movie makes no sense

1214
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: at all to me. Anyway, when we come back in

1215
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 1: the next hour, Greg Jarrett will be with us. He's

1216
01:03:12,200 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: got a book that you got to read, called The

1217
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 1: Russia Hoax. Now, when it comes to Mueller, when it

1218
01:03:17,200 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: comes to what the hell went on at the FBI

1219
01:03:20,080 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: with McCabe's Strock, Paige Comy and all their biased partisans

1220
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Shenanigans tampering with everything. He is the expert on it,

1221
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 1: so we'll talk to him. Coming up next, we'll get

1222
01:03:32,880 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 1: all the latest developments. Muller report is supposed to wrap

1223
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: up in February, but we'll go through that with him.

1224
01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 1: And then it's a report that's delivered to the Attorney General.

1225
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 1: Supposedly he can just throw it in his desk and

1226
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 1: ignore it if he wants, but Congress will try to

1227
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,920
Speaker 1: subpoena it. Will find out all about that. Coming up

1228
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: in the next hour, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.

1229
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:57,280
Speaker 1: Big hour coming up. Hey, welcome back. It's Mark Simone

1230
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 1: here for Sean Hannity. One of the best books of

1231
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: two eighteen facts, the number one bestsellers, Greg Jared's book,

1232
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 1: The Russia Hoax. You've got to get that book. No

1233
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 1: better book on the subject of Komey Muller and all

1234
01:04:08,560 --> 01:04:11,360
Speaker 1: this witch hunt. Greg Jared's latest book. And he's on

1235
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:12,880
Speaker 1: the line with us. Now, of course you seem on

1236
01:04:12,920 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: the Fox News Greg Jared, how are you, Mark, I'm well,

1237
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 1: great to be with you. Mary, Christmas, Merry Christmas. Is

1238
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm hearing rumors that the Mueller report will be wrapped

1239
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: up and completed and handed it in February. Now is

1240
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: this true? It just goes to the Attorney General and

1241
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: it's up to the Attorney General what he'll do with it.

1242
01:04:32,920 --> 01:04:36,080
Speaker 1: That's right under the Special Council regulations. It goes to

1243
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 1: the Age. He can give it to Congress, he can

1244
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:41,880
Speaker 1: make it public, or he can divide it up and

1245
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: only give a summary to the public. But you can

1246
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: expect the Democratic House to subpoena the Inspector General and

1247
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 1: try to elicit the information that way if the Attorney

1248
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: General doesn't make it public. So a lot of ifs

1249
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:01,840
Speaker 1: in that scenario. So we'll have to wait and see.

1250
01:05:01,880 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: I'm skeptical that Mueller will finish up by February. We've

1251
01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:09,200
Speaker 1: heard these reports before. He was going to be finished

1252
01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,280
Speaker 1: up in October and November and December, and you know

1253
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: here we are almost January. So I'll wait and see. Now,

1254
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff on one of these shows has pretty much said,

1255
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:21,680
Speaker 1: they will definitely, the Congress will definitely subpoena this report.

1256
01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,120
Speaker 1: What legal authority do they have to actually do that?

1257
01:05:24,160 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: Can they do that? Well? They can. There's nothing in

1258
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 1: the Special Council Regulations that say in response to a

1259
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 1: subpoena you may withhold the information. Now, if the Attorney

1260
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 1: General thinks that there is some privileged information in there,

1261
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:46,520
Speaker 1: he could always go to court and fight to subpoena,

1262
01:05:46,560 --> 01:05:48,600
Speaker 1: and that, of course, as you know, is a very

1263
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:53,040
Speaker 1: long process. So I have no doubt that Schiff and

1264
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 1: others in the House will attempt to get their hands

1265
01:05:55,280 --> 01:05:58,520
Speaker 1: on the document. The Attorney General may just decide to

1266
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:00,400
Speaker 1: give it to them anyway, and of or so it'll

1267
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 1: be immediately leaked. Yeah. Now, also, could the Attorney General

1268
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 1: read it and then throw it in his drawer and

1269
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: not say a word about it? Is he illegally allowed

1270
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: to do that? He absolutely is, And in fact that's

1271
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: happened before with Independent Council Member Patrick Fitzgerald decided that

1272
01:06:19,960 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: essentially in the Scooter Living case, he was only going

1273
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: to make public that portion of the investigation. Everything else

1274
01:06:27,800 --> 01:06:33,040
Speaker 1: was kept confidential to this very day. So just because

1275
01:06:33,040 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 1: a report is written doesn't mean it's made public. So

1276
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 1: let's say it's not made public. Can they congress legally?

1277
01:06:39,200 --> 01:06:42,439
Speaker 1: Can they subpoena Muller to testify? And is Muller free

1278
01:06:42,440 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: to talk about what's in there? He probably would be

1279
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 1: unless the Attorney General sought an injunction or a temporary

1280
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:52,760
Speaker 1: restraining order, and then, as I say, would become a

1281
01:06:52,800 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: battle in a federal court. Yeah. So you know, one

1282
01:06:57,160 --> 01:06:59,320
Speaker 1: way or another, Democrats in the House are going to

1283
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: try to make it republican. You know, we're assuming, of course,

1284
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:07,959
Speaker 1: that the information contained therein is negative. It may well

1285
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:14,560
Speaker 1: be something that even Republicans are welcoming in a public venue. Well,

1286
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: you listen, we all started out thinking Muller is a

1287
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,840
Speaker 1: straight arrow, Mueller will do the right thing. But after

1288
01:07:19,240 --> 01:07:21,520
Speaker 1: I used to think that about Comy years ago, after

1289
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: watching that and reading your book, I'm not counting on

1290
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 1: Mueller doing the right thing. I'm like the rest of them.

1291
01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: He's going to make it as negative as he can

1292
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: make it. I was actually surprised that the moment Mueller

1293
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,080
Speaker 1: was appointed, everyone jumped on board and said he's the

1294
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:41,720
Speaker 1: perfect person. He's got impeccable credentials. I wrote a column

1295
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:45,320
Speaker 1: the next day, saying, wait just a minute, he is

1296
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: conflicted by virtue of his close relationship with James Komey,

1297
01:07:50,040 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 1: who may very well be a key witness, and in

1298
01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,960
Speaker 1: fact that Coomey has been interviewed by the Special Counsel

1299
01:07:56,040 --> 01:08:01,120
Speaker 1: as well as Rod Rosenstein. That's a disqualifying conflict of interest.

1300
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 1: Mueller should never have taken the job. And you know

1301
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 1: he has more than one conflict of interest. He actually

1302
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: has three, as I identify in my book, So you know,

1303
01:08:12,800 --> 01:08:17,759
Speaker 1: and the fact that he hired a team of seventeen partisans,

1304
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:21,840
Speaker 1: some of whom represented Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation,

1305
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,400
Speaker 1: suggests to me that he cannot and will not be

1306
01:08:25,600 --> 01:08:30,880
Speaker 1: fair and objective and neutral. Yeah, what can the president do?

1307
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:33,880
Speaker 1: I know he's talking about releasing his own report about

1308
01:08:33,880 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: the Muller Report. Well, is that going to have any effect?

1309
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what can he say to it? You mean

1310
01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: the lawyers for Donald Trump? Yeah, yes, And in fact,

1311
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: I've talked with them about it. They have pretty much

1312
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:52,040
Speaker 1: concluded their report, although they'll modify it depending upon what's

1313
01:08:52,080 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: in the Mueller report. But they're very prepared for this,

1314
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,560
Speaker 1: and if the Muller Report has made public, they'll immediately

1315
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:05,400
Speaker 1: and simultaneously make their report their counter report public as well.

1316
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:08,920
Speaker 1: And when you think about it, that's only fair. Yeah.

1317
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, Muller and his team of partisans will probably

1318
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 1: write a report that is highly critical of Trump, although

1319
01:09:16,360 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it may be entirely circumstantial evidence. They may conclude we

1320
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 1: have no definitive proof of collusion, and it's only fair therefore,

1321
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:30,799
Speaker 1: that the president's lawyers be heard as well to present

1322
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: their side of the story. This is the problem with prosecutors.

1323
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:40,600
Speaker 1: Prosecutors always only present their version of events, and to

1324
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: any potential defendant or defendant, that's inherently unfair. Yeah. Hey,

1325
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,920
Speaker 1: the best book on the subject is Greg Jard's book

1326
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,360
Speaker 1: Get It the Russia Hoax, number one bestseller, best book

1327
01:09:51,400 --> 01:09:54,400
Speaker 1: on this subject. Now, can I guess the acting Attorney

1328
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:57,000
Speaker 1: General is afraid to do too much here? And there's

1329
01:09:57,040 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: probably no chance that we get the new Attorney general

1330
01:09:59,120 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 1: confirmed before the Muller report. But if we did, couldn't

1331
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 1: he step in and say you could fire Rod Rosenstein?

1332
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: You can say, you know what, you're all over the

1333
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 1: map here, stick to this. Just look at this. Yes,

1334
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: and you know, much depends on how quickly the Senate

1335
01:10:14,439 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: Judiciary Committee can confirm William Barr the nominee. And you know,

1336
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:22,880
Speaker 1: the people I've talked to you up on the hill

1337
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:25,639
Speaker 1: on the Senate side, say they think he can get

1338
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:30,280
Speaker 1: done pretty quickly, within about five or six weeks. Democrats

1339
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,760
Speaker 1: will drag their feet, So we'll wait and see. But

1340
01:10:33,479 --> 01:10:37,879
Speaker 1: you know, the person that is more conflicted than anyone

1341
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:43,080
Speaker 1: else is Rod Rosenstein. You know, the Special Council regulations

1342
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: specifically state that if you have a personal or political

1343
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: interest in the case, you must recuse yourself. My goodness,

1344
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 1: he's a witness. He wrote the memo for the firing

1345
01:10:55,720 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: of James Comey and Muller interviewed Rosenstein's So think about this.

1346
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:05,680
Speaker 1: Rosenstein his mother's boss, and yet the subordinate interviewed the

1347
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: boss who may, in the long run, determine what action

1348
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: will be taken. That's a terrible conflict of interest. Rosenstein

1349
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: should have recused himself a long time ago, and the

1350
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:22,040
Speaker 1: fact that he hasn't suggests that he is biased and

1351
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 1: motivated against Trump. Well, you've been saying this and stay one,

1352
01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: and of course you're absolutely right, But why doesn't somebody

1353
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: just thrown the hell out of there and say you

1354
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 1: got you gotta recuse yourself. I think the political optics

1355
01:11:34,240 --> 01:11:37,519
Speaker 1: were negative for Trump. Trump certainly had the authority to

1356
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 1: fire Rosenstein, especially when evidence emerged that Rosenstein was trying

1357
01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 1: to get others to tape records secretly the president and

1358
01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 1: depose him under the twenty fifth Amendment. And of course,

1359
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 1: you know Congress wanted to hear from Rosenstein to answer

1360
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:58,280
Speaker 1: those questions did you do this? And he continued to

1361
01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: defy their requests, slow walked it until Democrats took over

1362
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:07,559
Speaker 1: the House. So you know, Rosenstein could have been fired,

1363
01:12:07,600 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 1: should have been fired more than any person at the

1364
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 1: Department of Justice. Yeah, hey, Greg Jarry, we only got

1365
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 1: like a minute left. But the Southern District of New York,

1366
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: that's the local US attorney here, is looking all through

1367
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:22,559
Speaker 1: a Trump organization business here in New York. When't a

1368
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 1: new attorney generalists just say stop that there's no report

1369
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:29,240
Speaker 1: of any crime there, wait till something is discovered. Well,

1370
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:34,759
Speaker 1: you're right, good incompetent and responsible attorney general would say,

1371
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:39,920
Speaker 1: show me why you are doing this and what real

1372
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,360
Speaker 1: evidence that you have that connects the President of the

1373
01:12:44,439 --> 01:12:48,120
Speaker 1: United States to any of these things, And especially since

1374
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:51,040
Speaker 1: it was motivated by Robert Muller. None of this has

1375
01:12:51,080 --> 01:12:54,920
Speaker 1: anything to do whatsoever with Trump Russia collusion. These are

1376
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 1: collateral issues that are being driven I think by a

1377
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:04,719
Speaker 1: personal political animus toward Trump. Yeah, the US Attorney seems

1378
01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: to be a very good guy, Jeffrey Burman here in here,

1379
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:09,479
Speaker 1: so he's had to recuse himself. It's the people under

1380
01:13:09,520 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 1: him that are doing this. But we're not gonna get

1381
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: anything really happening here until we get a new attorney general. Right.

1382
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: The acting Attorney General probably a little afraid to take

1383
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: some action here. Well, I think you're right, Matthew Whittaker,

1384
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:24,640
Speaker 1: the acting age he feels handcuffed by virtue of the

1385
01:13:24,680 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 1: political salvos he's been taking. So I you know, I

1386
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:33,400
Speaker 1: think much will depend on how quickly William Barr can

1387
01:13:33,439 --> 01:13:37,760
Speaker 1: be confirmed and takeover. And you know, not that he

1388
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: is a you know, Donald Trump's sick offant. You know,

1389
01:13:42,360 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 1: this is a guy who served as attorney general for

1390
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:48,200
Speaker 1: two years back in the nineteen nineties. He's a brilliant

1391
01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 1: legal mind, highly regarded, impeccable credentials, and I think he'll

1392
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 1: do what's fair and honest and equitable. And that's all

1393
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 1: you can ask in an Attorney general, as opposed to

1394
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:03,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, who had no earthly idea what he was

1395
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: doing in that position. Yeah, well, Greg Jared, thanks for

1396
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 1: taking the time today. You got to get his book.

Speaker 1: And happy holiday. All right, happy holiday. Thanks for thanks

1403
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: for being with us. That's right. It's the day after Christmas,

1404
01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve coming up. When is New Year's Eve?

1405
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 1: Monday night? Right, that's the worst night of the year.

1406
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 1: There's so much pressure on you. Everybody you talk to,

1407
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:42,200
Speaker 1: what are you doing New Year's Eve? What are you

1408
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: doing New Year's Eve? You better have a hell of

1409
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 1: an answer or they look at you like you're the

1410
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:50,519
Speaker 1: biggest loser to people like me who go out every

1411
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 1: night to every party, every club, everything. I hate New

1412
01:14:54,320 --> 01:14:57,200
Speaker 1: Year's Eve. It's the worst night of the year. Any

1413
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: place you'd go normally, even the greatest place, if it's

1414
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,840
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve, suddenly it's five times the normal price.

1415
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:05,719
Speaker 1: They don't have the regular men either. Got a special

1416
01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve menu, which means like three things that

1417
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:11,839
Speaker 1: are cheap to serve on New Year's Eve. Everybody's drunk.

1418
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:16,520
Speaker 1: It's the worst night of the year. You got every

1419
01:15:17,080 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: cop in America all over the roads looking for drunk

1420
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: drivers even if you don't drink, or stopping everybody. It's

1421
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,759
Speaker 1: a horrible night. Stay home, watch the ball drop. Anyway,

1430
01:15:55,720 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 1: Jane and Arizona. Jane, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Well, thanks, Mark,

1431
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: How are you good? How are you doing, Jane. I'm

1432
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:07,759
Speaker 1: doing well. I just finished the clean up from Christmas dinner.

1433
01:16:07,960 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: And did you have a big fight at the table

1434
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:14,760
Speaker 1: with all the relatives? Nobody spoke of politics. I know

1435
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:18,040
Speaker 1: it was dull. What is any rate? He had a

1436
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,720
Speaker 1: lovely time. I hope you did too. Yes, And what

1437
01:16:20,800 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: do you want to say, Jane? I wanted to say

1438
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:29,439
Speaker 1: that as frustrated as we all get as conservatives listening

1439
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 1: to the mainstream media pratt and why and all my word?

1440
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:38,400
Speaker 1: I think, and I have done it myself. I decided,

1441
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: all right, I'm wearing my colors, and I think if

1442
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: all our conservative friends would wear their colors. I have

1443
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:48,240
Speaker 1: my Magma hat. I go to Costco with it and

1444
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,760
Speaker 1: any other r and I might make and more more

1445
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:55,840
Speaker 1: often than I get many compliments. Yeah, so we can

1446
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: all if we all started to do that, we could,

1447
01:16:59,200 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, annoy liberal here or there and then find

1448
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,080
Speaker 1: like minded people. All right, what's good idea? Everybodys you

1449
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:08,400
Speaker 1: wear their Maga hat. The only thing is it depends

1450
01:17:08,439 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: where you live. If you live in Arizona, you can

1451
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: probably wear your Maga hat. And if you're in let's

1452
01:17:12,080 --> 01:17:13,479
Speaker 1: say you're in the New York City area, you go

1453
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:16,480
Speaker 1: up in to Westchester, out in Long Island or Connecticut,

1454
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 1: you could wear your maga hat. But if you live

1455
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: right in the middle of Manhattan to the Upper West

1456
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,400
Speaker 1: Side where all the crazy liberals are, you probably can't

1457
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,040
Speaker 1: wear the maga hat. And if you go down to

1458
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 1: there's incidents here downtown, you know, Greenwich Village, Soho where

1459
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: when you wear the maga hat, people chase you out

1460
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,200
Speaker 1: of a restaurant, they refuse to serve you, they start

1461
01:17:36,479 --> 01:17:38,160
Speaker 1: yelling at you and screaming at you. I don't know

1462
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 1: who's gonna want to have to deal with it, but

1463
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 1: you're right, it's a good point. If everybody starts wearing

1464
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,360
Speaker 1: their maga hat, what are they gonna do. What are

1465
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,400
Speaker 1: they gonna do throw fifty people out of a restaurant?

1466
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do on the Upper West Side

1467
01:17:48,960 --> 01:17:51,720
Speaker 1: of the two hundred maga hats? I think that's the key.

1468
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 1: All got to start wearing it. Let's go to Earl

1469
01:17:55,320 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: calling from Kentucky. Hey, Earl, welcome to Sean Hannity Show. Yes,

1470
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 1: thank you for taking the call. You know, since the

1471
01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 1: dev's have been planning in months, if not years, to

1472
01:18:04,040 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: impeach Trump because he's not one of the party, one

1473
01:18:06,439 --> 01:18:09,759
Speaker 1: of the good old boys to be able to change

1474
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: up the plans of the socialist Democrats since President Trump

1475
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:19,599
Speaker 1: picked Vice President Pence, if he was to publicly come

1476
01:18:19,600 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 1: out and say, if you even think you will impeach

1477
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 1: President Trump, I was picked to follow his goals, and

1478
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 1: I will follow out all of the plans that mister

1479
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 1: Trump has put in place to make America great again.

1480
01:18:35,600 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 1: And that would throw them off their game if he

1481
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:42,599
Speaker 1: was stick the lock and step with mister Trump, as

1482
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: long as Pence is not also going to try to

1483
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,400
Speaker 1: play the other game and be well, it's a good,

1484
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 1: good point, Earl, that's an excellent point. If Pence would

1485
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: come out and say I will follow up on everything

1486
01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is going to do, maybe that would head

1487
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 1: off an impeachment. But I don't think so. I think

1488
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: they'd rather deal with Pence. You know, it's not just

1489
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:05,720
Speaker 1: the policy. It's something about Trump. Maybe it's the brashness,

1490
01:19:05,720 --> 01:19:09,799
Speaker 1: the bragging, the boldness, something about Trump that just sets

1491
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 1: them off. They just go nuts when they see him.

1492
01:19:13,880 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: And again, you know, I like Pence, but who knows.

1493
01:19:16,439 --> 01:19:18,760
Speaker 1: If you know, he comes from the swamp, he's not

1494
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 1: the outsider. But it's just they just go nuts. It's

1495
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,439
Speaker 1: the personality of Donald Trumps He's called them every name

1496
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 1: and the world. Pence hasn't. And the other thing is,

1497
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: I know they're secretly plotting Democrats to find some way

1498
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,519
Speaker 1: to impeach them both impeach Pence and Trump together. That way,

1499
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,759
Speaker 1: Speaker the House, Pelosi becomes the president. Can you imagine

1500
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 1: that anyway? Back in a moment, there's more on the

1501
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,880
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show coming up. Hey, welcome back. It's Mark

1502
01:19:47,960 --> 01:19:50,760
Speaker 1: Simone here for Sean Hannity. Sean will be back soon.

1503
01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 1: You got the fake news? You know, you can't trust

1504
01:19:53,000 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 1: anything you watch on CNN or MSNBC or I mean,

1505
01:19:56,520 --> 01:19:58,920
Speaker 1: can you take the New York Times seriously anymore? Or

1506
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:01,680
Speaker 1: the Jeff Bays those post or any of that. But

1507
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,200
Speaker 1: one of the things that you know, this fake Chuck

1508
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:07,840
Speaker 1: Todd and fake news Lester Holt and whenever you see

1509
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 1: them say and they'll quote this all the time of

1510
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 1: these shows, and the president has been caught lying seven thousand,

1511
01:20:13,520 --> 01:20:16,320
Speaker 1: five hundred and forty six times. Now, the way that works,

1512
01:20:16,360 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 1: besides totally corrupting the news media, all the fact checking

1513
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:24,800
Speaker 1: sites have been totally corrupted. Fact check dot org, PolitiFact.

1514
01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:26,880
Speaker 1: You can't trust them for a second. Even that Washington

1515
01:20:26,960 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 1: Post fact checker Pinocchio can't trust it at all. For instance,

1516
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,280
Speaker 1: I took a look at them. Now, the Washington Post

1517
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: fact checker says President Trump has made seven thousand, five

1518
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: hundred and forty six false statements over seven hundred days. Well,

1519
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:44,280
Speaker 1: now if you look into that, you got the most

1520
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 1: bias guys evaluating this, So most of them are not lies.

1521
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,920
Speaker 1: And here's another thing they did, and this is preposterous.

1522
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:54,000
Speaker 1: If the president said in one of the rallies or

1523
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,719
Speaker 1: one of the speeches, this is the best economy in history,

1524
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 1: that's counted as a lie. And they found two hundred

1525
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: and forty times where he said that in rally, so

1526
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,560
Speaker 1: they counting that is two hundred and forty lies. Or

1527
01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: another one where he said it's the biggest tax cut

1528
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: in history. That's counted three hundred and ninety times that

1529
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,240
Speaker 1: he said it as a lie. Now, obviously every president

1530
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,840
Speaker 1: does that, whether it is or it isn't the best

1531
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:21,400
Speaker 1: economy in history. You can go back to any president

1532
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:25,000
Speaker 1: out on the campaign trail. They speak in those slogans

1533
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:27,719
Speaker 1: best economy in history, the best tax cut in history.

1534
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,920
Speaker 1: It's a normal thing for any president to say. It's

1535
01:21:30,920 --> 01:21:33,719
Speaker 1: a campaign boast. You can't count that as a lie.

1536
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,680
Speaker 1: So whenever you see these crazy numbers, President has been

1537
01:21:36,680 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: caught lying seven five. Remember it's a lot of nonsense

1538
01:21:40,320 --> 01:21:43,280
Speaker 1: like that. Hey, the other thing going on, this has

1539
01:21:43,280 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: been the year you look back at twenty eighteen. What

1540
01:21:45,960 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 1: a me two year this has been. I mean, if

1541
01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 1: you went back a few years ago you told somebody

1542
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:54,760
Speaker 1: you'll see Bill Cosby go to prison in your lifetime,

1543
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: they would have thought you were insane. But here he

1544
01:21:57,000 --> 01:22:00,599
Speaker 1: is sitting in prison right now. Less moonvest she couldn't

1545
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,400
Speaker 1: be a bigger, more powerful guy in the entertainment industry.

1546
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:07,680
Speaker 1: He's gone. Doesn't even get his severance. They said he

1547
01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: lied to the investigators, covered up in the investigation. Hey,

1548
01:22:12,040 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: by the way, a lot of top CBS people I

1549
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: wanted to see the reports. CBS brought in some big

1550
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:20,599
Speaker 1: law firms to do a massive investigation, and there were

1551
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:24,920
Speaker 1: people at CBS that we're waiting to read this final report.

1552
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:30,160
Speaker 1: Well it turns out there's no written report. CBS hired

1553
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 1: these big law firms and a totally unprecedented you'll never

1554
01:22:34,160 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: do this, they said to them, don't write a report,

1555
01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 1: just report to us verbally. So nothing is in writing

1556
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: that gives you an idea of how creepy whatever he was.

1557
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,280
Speaker 1: They didn't even want it in writing. Then of course

1558
01:22:47,280 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 1: she got Harvey Weinstein. You know. One of the interesting

1559
01:22:50,160 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: cases is Kevin Spacey, who got caught. In fact, it's

1560
01:22:53,360 --> 01:22:56,439
Speaker 1: so bad. One of them has gone criminal. And on

1561
01:22:56,520 --> 01:23:00,160
Speaker 1: January seventh, he's going to be arraigned in Massachusetts. Now

1562
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: they say they're going to arraign him in Massachusetts. Don't

1563
01:23:02,080 --> 01:23:04,680
Speaker 1: say whether he'll be there to be arraigned, but as

1564
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 1: January seventh. One thing about Spacey was twenty seventeen, he

1565
01:23:08,360 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 1: vanished off the face of the earth. Even his friends,

1566
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: people that know him, said they had no idea where

1567
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:17,760
Speaker 1: he was. And the best word was that he was

1568
01:23:17,840 --> 01:23:21,320
Speaker 1: hiding on some island in the South Pacific, totally hiding.

1569
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:24,280
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you do if you're a me too guy.

1570
01:23:24,360 --> 01:23:27,720
Speaker 1: But he's just released a video. It's on YouTube. It's

1571
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: already gotten seven million views. It's the creepiest thing you'll

1572
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: ever see. We're not gonna play it. It's just too creepy.

1573
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:38,120
Speaker 1: It's Kevin Spacey, and he's in character as the creepy

1574
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: guy on House of Cards, as Frank Underwood and he

1575
01:23:41,760 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: does the same Frank Underwood creepy character, and he looks

1576
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: into the camera and he purrs in this creepy voice,

1577
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,479
Speaker 1: you knew what I was up to. And then as

1578
01:23:51,479 --> 01:23:55,599
Speaker 1: a part where says, I know you want you want

1579
01:23:55,680 --> 01:23:58,240
Speaker 1: me back, as I don't know what the point of

1580
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: this video was and why I do this when you're

1581
01:24:00,840 --> 01:24:03,880
Speaker 1: finally about to be arraigned in a criminal charge a

1582
01:24:03,960 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: disc attorney in the Cape and Islands, Massachusetts. He's going

1583
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,599
Speaker 1: after him. But as I said, it's got seven million

1584
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 1: views already. Hey, the big news today, two things, two

1585
01:24:14,560 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 1: big breaking stories. Today President Trump visited Iraq. It was

1586
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 1: a surprise visit for Christmas. It was the President and

1587
01:24:22,200 --> 01:24:25,479
Speaker 1: the first Lady. The press, the fake news starting to

1588
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 1: go after him for being the first president. This was

1589
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:30,880
Speaker 1: their big scandal of the day, big first president not

1590
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,320
Speaker 1: to visit the troops on Christmas Day. Well turned out

1591
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:36,040
Speaker 1: he had and it wasn't in response to those stories.

1592
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:38,120
Speaker 1: This had been planned for days and days and days.

1593
01:24:38,320 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: Takes a lot of planning, obviously for security reasons, to

1594
01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: get the President over there and back. It was a

1595
01:24:43,960 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: very secret flight, curtains drawn on Air Force one. I don't. Actually,

1596
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't know if they took Air Force one. They

1597
01:24:49,760 --> 01:24:52,800
Speaker 1: probably took a different plane. Curtains drawn, lights out on

1598
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: the flight top security. He was on the ground for

1599
01:24:56,120 --> 01:25:00,000
Speaker 1: several hours in Iraq, addressed the troops, then met with them,

1600
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:02,519
Speaker 1: and then took selfies with him, all that stuff, and

1601
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: he's back. It was a great visit. He said he

1602
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:07,680
Speaker 1: plans to visit Afghanistan at some point. So that's a

1603
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,920
Speaker 1: big breaking story today. Now, the other thing this will

1604
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 1: really infuriate democrats because the other big narrative was how

1605
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 1: the whole economy is crashing. The market is crashing. Today

1606
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: was an unbelievable day in the stock market. It closed

1607
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 1: up almost eleven hundred points. That's huge, up a thousand

1608
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 1: eighty six points, almost eleven hundred points. That's the biggest

1609
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:34,919
Speaker 1: one day increase in seven years. Phenomenal day in the economy.

1610
01:25:34,960 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: You gotta figure tomorrow will be more of the same. Anyway,

1611
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to let's go to

1612
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,120
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Let's go to Rob. Rob. Welcome to the

1613
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Hey Rob, Hey, Mark, how are you doing? Yes?

1614
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: What do you want to say? Rob? I love you?

1615
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: If I didn't have to work so much, i'd love

1616
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:55,680
Speaker 1: your show more often in the morning. Oh thanks, Well,

1617
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: normally I'm on wo R here in New York ten

1618
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: to noon. But what do you want to say? Well,

1619
01:26:00,400 --> 01:26:02,880
Speaker 1: I took a little note and I dialed the phone

1620
01:26:02,920 --> 01:26:04,960
Speaker 1: because I heard what you said about the hatred for

1621
01:26:05,040 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And I always hear this phrase hatred for

1622
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. I have a little bit of a different

1623
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,600
Speaker 1: opinion about that. I don't think it's the hatred. I

1624
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:16,639
Speaker 1: think it's the fear about the agenda over the last

1625
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,560
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years, at least of the intentional downfall of

1626
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:23,480
Speaker 1: the middle class and America in general, as both Republicans

1627
01:26:23,479 --> 01:26:26,720
Speaker 1: and Democrats enriched themselves, as they're really all on the

1628
01:26:26,760 --> 01:26:31,480
Speaker 1: same team, both paid actors, and they're all paid actors,

1629
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: whether it's from campaign donations or what have you. So

1630
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:37,639
Speaker 1: I just I think the hatred thing is an easy

1631
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 1: scapegoat as opposed to really what the true agenda is

1632
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,679
Speaker 1: of the establishment. Really, well, okay, I know I understand

1633
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:46,080
Speaker 1: what you're saying, and you're absolutely right. Republicans and Democrats

1634
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: have been awful on this for decades, whether it's both

1635
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 1: parties leaving the border wide open, both parties allowing Obamacare.

1636
01:26:52,920 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: They've been in all both parties in bed with the lobbyists.

1637
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:58,080
Speaker 1: It's been horrible. I can see why the swamp hates

1638
01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,600
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. He's there to bust up their game. But

1639
01:27:00,760 --> 01:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the public, the liberals in the public joined in. Suddenly

1640
01:27:04,120 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 1: they're engaging in McCarthyism with Russian witch hunts. Suddenly they're

1641
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 1: defending the swamp. Why do you think that is, rob Well,

1642
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,640
Speaker 1: you know you mentioned the public to the establishment is

1643
01:27:14,680 --> 01:27:18,600
Speaker 1: a lot more. They're profiting from it directly, so you

1644
01:27:18,640 --> 01:27:21,360
Speaker 1: know why they want to keep them out of power.

1645
01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: But the I have a phrase on my page that

1646
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 1: I use. It's called media zombies. It's unbelievable to me

1647
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: that's such a large percentage of the America, and I

1648
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:36,719
Speaker 1: think it's it's really is changing. But they're really don't

1649
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:42,520
Speaker 1: think for themselves. So this media zombie mentality is just unbelievable.

1650
01:27:42,520 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 1: They believe what they're told and it's slowly starting to turn.

1651
01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:47,200
Speaker 1: But you know, on my page, I try and do

1652
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: my part every day, and uh, it's really it's a

1653
01:27:49,960 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: shame when you see you run into people and you

1654
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:55,040
Speaker 1: try to talk to them and they really have no

1655
01:27:55,120 --> 01:27:57,800
Speaker 1: idea what's truly going on with that. I call them

1656
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 1: evil geniuses about their intention of this country. All right, well, Rob,

1657
01:28:01,080 --> 01:28:03,519
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah, I mean, listen, the media was

1658
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 1: always crazy liberal always. You go back to Dan Rather,

1659
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: he listened. He was the founder of fake news, I

1660
01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:12,880
Speaker 1: mean major modern day fake news. You remember he had

1661
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 1: a whole fake story on Bush going a wall. It

1662
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,599
Speaker 1: was so bad that CBS fired him. He was the

1663
01:28:18,600 --> 01:28:22,040
Speaker 1: main anchor, he was the face of CBS News, but

1664
01:28:22,080 --> 01:28:25,000
Speaker 1: his fake news was so bad even CBS had to

1665
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:29,160
Speaker 1: throw him out and fire him. And then I'm trying

1666
01:28:29,160 --> 01:28:33,439
Speaker 1: to remember after Rather, I guess it calm well Obama one,

1667
01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:35,559
Speaker 1: I guess that's what calm things down for a while.

1668
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 1: And I don't know if it's just twenty eighteen. People

1669
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 1: are so spoiled and immature. They just can't cope with

1670
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 1: losing anything. You know, normally, when you lost the election,

1671
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: the other side one, all right, so you know, you

1672
01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,240
Speaker 1: wait four years and you win it back. You look

1673
01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:56,080
Speaker 1: for candidates, you look for issues. Of course, you attack

1674
01:28:56,160 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: the current president when you can. You know, when you're asked,

1675
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:04,040
Speaker 1: you attack him on issues. But this crazed, insane presidential harassment,

1676
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:07,280
Speaker 1: trying to take him out every day with another fake,

1677
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: made up scandal. And you know everything they point to,

1678
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 1: you know, they fire as a general Maddis all of

1679
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:16,679
Speaker 1: a sudden, fake news, the public, the liberals go crazy.

1680
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 1: It's total chaos in the White House. How could he fire?

1681
01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:24,120
Speaker 1: Total chaos? Obama went through four secretaries of defense and

1682
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:27,719
Speaker 1: rapid fire. There was a period where Obama had four

1683
01:29:27,720 --> 01:29:30,960
Speaker 1: secretaries of Defense. In fact, Obama fired Mattis at one

1684
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:33,920
Speaker 1: point and it was a nasty, ugly firing. He didn't

1685
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:36,240
Speaker 1: even tell him, he just fired him, and Mattis had

1686
01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:38,120
Speaker 1: to hear about it on TV. So I didn't hear

1687
01:29:38,240 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: much about that back then. You know what, everything they

1688
01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: bring up they call this what aboutism? But what aboutism

1689
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:49,600
Speaker 1: pretty much proves the Democrats to be like industrial strength hypocrites.

1690
01:29:50,240 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 1: You know, like they talk about pay and Stormy Daniels

1691
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:56,920
Speaker 1: to keep quiet. That's obviously campaign finance of violation, but

1692
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: no it's not. And you think about Obama. You know

1693
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 1: there was a point where he offered to pay Reverend

1694
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,880
Speaker 1: Right to keep quiet. Remember how Reverend Wright was screwing

1695
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: up the election for him, So Reverend Wright was approached,

1696
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:15,719
Speaker 1: offered one hundred and fifty thousand dollars by Obama. Obama

1697
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 1: admitted to it, so in fact, that offer is actually better.

1698
01:30:19,640 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: So Stormy only got one hundred and thirty there. But

1699
01:30:22,520 --> 01:30:25,160
Speaker 1: anything that they're upset about went not all the time.

1700
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:30,759
Speaker 1: It's just the most ridiculous, over the top hypocrisy and

1701
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:34,960
Speaker 1: crazed anger. Let's go to Joe in Las Vegas. Hey, Joe,

1702
01:30:35,920 --> 01:30:39,799
Speaker 1: welcome to Sean Hannity's show. Are you doing Mark? Marry Christmas?

1703
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. Two quick points. The first, there was a

1704
01:30:43,400 --> 01:30:45,400
Speaker 1: calling that said a Pence would come out and say

1705
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: what you know that he would followed from agenda. The

1706
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: problem is they would go after Pence just like they'd

1707
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: say he was part of the deal, just like look

1708
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 1: what they did to you know, Romney, and Romney was

1709
01:30:56,360 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: about as sweet as anything. So they'd go after Pence

1710
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 1: just as hard. Yeah, and my second point was like

1711
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 1: the reason why they really fear Donald Trump because he'll

1712
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:10,559
Speaker 1: actually do what he says. So for example, everyone's been

1713
01:31:10,600 --> 01:31:14,480
Speaker 1: talking forever to move the embassy to from to Jerusalem.

1714
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,240
Speaker 1: Trump actually did it. Trump said he was going to

1715
01:31:17,280 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 1: cut all these things, He did it. So when Trump

1716
01:31:19,600 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: says because he's going to build the wall. Republicans these

1717
01:31:22,360 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 1: finals and the Democrats for sure are really afraid to

1718
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,760
Speaker 1: say know he's gonna do it. No, that's a good point. Well, Joe,

1719
01:31:28,840 --> 01:31:31,160
Speaker 1: thanks for calling. Yeah, maybe that's part of it. You know.

1720
01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:33,519
Speaker 1: Obviously they didn't agree with Bush, and when Bush was present,

1721
01:31:33,600 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: they sure went after him a lot, but nothing like this.

1722
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: But maybe as much as they disagreed with Bush, they

1723
01:31:39,200 --> 01:31:41,800
Speaker 1: knew he was a real swamp guy, and they took

1724
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: some comfort in that that he wouldn't really rock the

1725
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:48,680
Speaker 1: boat too much. But this is unlike anything we ever seen. Hey,

1726
01:31:48,720 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: I mentioned this before. Let me just go over this

1727
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:54,840
Speaker 1: again because I've heard some serious talk among the hierarchy

1728
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:58,080
Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party. This is a strategy they've been

1729
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:00,760
Speaker 1: thinking about this. You find a way to not only

1730
01:32:00,760 --> 01:32:04,880
Speaker 1: impeach Trump, but impeach Pence and Trump together. You impeach

1731
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:08,599
Speaker 1: them both somehow. If you do that, if you impeach

1732
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 1: the president and the vice president, Speaker the House becomes

1733
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: the president. Here's the part two to that. Anybody can

1734
01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 1: be Speaker the House. They may not want Pelosi as president,

1735
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:22,840
Speaker 1: anybody can be Speaker the House. The Democrats with control

1736
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:25,240
Speaker 1: of the House can vote anybody they want as speaker.

1737
01:32:25,640 --> 01:32:28,200
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a congress person, you don't

1738
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:30,320
Speaker 1: have to be a member. So let's say they want

1739
01:32:30,400 --> 01:32:33,920
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's president. They could remove Pelosi and appoint Joe

1740
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:35,800
Speaker 1: Biden as Speaker of the House. In other words, they

1741
01:32:35,800 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: impeach both Pence and Trump and then they pick who

1742
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,080
Speaker 1: they want as president, appoint them Speaker the House, and

1743
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:44,360
Speaker 1: they would get the job. I know it sounds crazy,

1744
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:48,120
Speaker 1: but it's possible. Odds are a million to one they

1745
01:32:48,120 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: could pull this off, but I know they've thought about it. Anyway,

1746
01:32:50,479 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 1: we'll come back in a moment. It's Mark Simone here

1747
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: for Sean Hannity. Hey, welcome back. It's a Sean Hannity Show.

1748
01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,760
Speaker 1: Mark Simone here for Sean. You know you're Democrats. You've

1749
01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: got a real problem with the Hillary Clinton. I don't

1750
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:03,600
Speaker 1: know what you gotta do about this, but you're not

1751
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 1: getting rid of her that easily. You know, every poll

1752
01:33:06,720 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: shows Democrats want a fresh, new face. Obviously, Hillary is

1753
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: the biggest loser of all time, I mean just loses

1754
01:33:16,120 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 1: every you know, first time she runs for president, a

1755
01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:21,639
Speaker 1: rookie came out of nowhere and took the nomination from

1756
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:25,320
Speaker 1: her second time she runs for president, A total amateur

1757
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:29,000
Speaker 1: in his first race ever in politics takes it away

1758
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 1: from her. So yesterday she tweeted out a Christmas message

1759
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,439
Speaker 1: and the picture with it is a picture of her

1760
01:33:36,479 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 1: in the White House. I mean, this is getting creepy.

1761
01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 1: You know, remember when she was running and they would

1762
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:47,400
Speaker 1: tell you a most qualified person ever for president, which

1763
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,000
Speaker 1: of course wasn't true. George H. W. Bush had a

1764
01:33:50,080 --> 01:33:52,760
Speaker 1: far greater resume. Nixon had a greater resume when he

1765
01:33:52,880 --> 01:33:57,640
Speaker 1: ran most qualified. You know, they said she's destined to

1766
01:33:57,680 --> 01:33:59,760
Speaker 1: be Now she's like the old woman, and Sun said

1767
01:34:00,040 --> 01:34:02,880
Speaker 1: levard you know, trying to make some sort of weird comeback.

1768
01:34:02,920 --> 01:34:04,720
Speaker 1: So I don't know what you Democrats are going to

1769
01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:07,840
Speaker 1: do about her, but if you hope to have any

1770
01:34:07,920 --> 01:34:09,760
Speaker 1: chance in the twenty twenty, you're gonna have to like

1771
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:12,439
Speaker 1: lock her up somewhere, can kidnap her or something. Hey,

1772
01:34:12,479 --> 01:34:15,320
Speaker 1: it's been a great day, unbelievable day. The Dow up

1773
01:34:15,400 --> 01:34:19,680
Speaker 1: almost eleven hundred points, biggest day in seven years. The

1774
01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 1: President visited Iraq. That was the breaking news earlier and

1775
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 1: it was a great visit. We're just about out a time.

1776
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:29,760
Speaker 1: Sean We'll be back soon. I'm Mark Simone. You want

1784
01:34:48,920 --> 01:34:51,519
Speaker 1: the holiday. It's New Year's Eve coming up. Then it's

1785
01:34:51,600 --> 01:34:56,839
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen predictions. Let's see. I think the tech industry

1786
01:34:56,880 --> 01:35:00,040
Speaker 1: has a big problem. I think finally Congress steps and

1787
01:35:00,040 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 1: it starts regulating it, controlling your privacy. I think if

1788
01:35:04,200 --> 01:35:06,799
Speaker 1: anybody's gonna have a bad year, it's the tech industry.

1789
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,000
Speaker 1: But it'll be a good year for us. Hey, we're

1790
