30
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: So much news going on today. As I predicted in

31
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: the courts of yesterday's program, the President did the Sorry,

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: the House Intel Committee did, in fact vote out UH

33
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: to release the memo to the public. I told you

34
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: about the entire process, and in that process that now

35
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: goes to the White House, which has five days to

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 1: make a determination as to whether or not it will

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: be released to we the people. I suspect very strongly

38
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: that the White House they have signaled that they want

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: to be transparent as much as they possibly can, but

40
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: I don't think you're gonna see that memo today, and

41
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: probably not tomorrow because why would you release it. That

42
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: would totally step on the President's first Date of the

43
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Union address. And there are a lot of issues that

44
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 1: need to be discussed, and I think the American people

45
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: do best when they hear directly from the President himself

46
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: rather than a bunch of media, you know, leftists that

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: hate his guts and have spent an entire year lying

48
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: to the American public about him and have tried to

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: undermine and destroy his presidency the entire time, And so

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: he gets to go direct to you the people. He

51
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: is not using Twitter, although he maybe they'll be tweeting

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 1: out some of the better comments that he makes. You

53
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,239
Speaker 1: never know. Wait, Look, tonight is gonna be State of

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: the Union addresses are pretty phenomenal. I've been to one,

55
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's last I went to the president's joint addressed

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: to Congress. Thanks to Congressman Louie Gomert, He's He's always

57
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: offered me generously a seat, and I finally, after many years,

58
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I said, you know what, I'd really like to do this,

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: I'd really like to go and and I went to

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: Obama's last one. And it wasn't the fact that it

61
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: was Obama. I mean, it was just the fact that

62
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: I got to see history. And very few people get

63
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: to sit in the gallery. I think every congressman has

64
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: one extra seat, and you sit in the balcony. And

65
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: the hard part is you have to get there an

66
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,600
Speaker 1: hour and a half early, and you have to be

67
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,679
Speaker 1: wanded and patted down, and in my case when Obama

68
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: was president, basically strip searched and then they let you

69
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: in the building. Um. But you know, to be in

70
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: a room of the president is a is a great honor. Um.

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear a lot tonight about the economic growth

72
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: that is now unfolding before our eyes. I won't go

73
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: through all the statistics now. The President will go through

74
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: all of that in great detail tonight. I know the

75
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: President is talking at length and Gary Cohnes signaled on

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: CNBC earlier today that infrastructure is the next leg of

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: the stool and what they believe is their economic agenda,

78
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 1: and it's gonna talk about a trillion and a half

79
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: dollars of investment. But what's interesting about it there they'll

80
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 1: be talking about streamlining the approval process as it relates infrastructure,

81
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: and based on my many interviews with the President, I'm

82
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 1: sure he's gonna be talking about private public partnerships in infrastructure.

83
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: And to me, that has always made sense. Why why

84
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: is the biggest landholder in America the United States government?

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: You know, there are certain things that we can allow

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 1: the general public to bid on and make money on,

87
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: and that they have certain responsibilities in terms of the

88
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: way they maintain roads or bridges or what tunnels or

89
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: whatever it happens to be. You know, let's say that

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: some company wanted to build another tunnel into New York City,

91
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: and that could be a public private partnership and one

92
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: that would be beneficial for the people in New York City.

93
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: Takes four thousand hours. Immigration is going to be big tonight.

94
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: I suspect that the President will talk a lot about

95
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 1: funding completely the border wall. I think he wants to

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: get He's clear he wants to get rid of chain migration,

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: he wants to get rid of the visa lottery system.

98
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: And I suspect that he's throwing DOCCA on the table

99
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: for the Democrats. In my opinion, the Democrats don't want

100
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: that deal. The Democrats want DOCCA not touched because they

101
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: want to be able to go out there and portray

102
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: this president is cold hearted, and I suspect that might

103
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: even end up backfiring on them if the President saying

104
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: all I want to do is keep a campaign promise

105
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: and secure the border and and chain migration and get

106
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: rid of a visa lottery based on recent incidents in

107
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: which people that were chained migrants and visa lottery winners

108
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: were involved in in issues that hurt the American people,

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: I think the President will make a pretty compelling case.

110
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: I know that there's a mother I saw on one

111
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: of the Fox shows earlier today. I don't remember which

112
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 1: one whose daughter was literally hacked to death by the

113
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: gang MS thirteen. I actually think this is from this

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: woman is from Long Island. I mean you you hear

115
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: about the crips and the blood Duds and MS thirteen,

116
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: and you think Los Angeles and and no, this is

117
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 1: all over the country now and in small towns and

118
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: big cities alike. So that'll come up, and I'm sure

119
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: national security and defense is gonna come up, and so

120
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: much more. And that's what State of the Union speeches

121
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: are supposed to be about. Um I doubt the president.

122
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: This is my guess. I haven't I did speak to

123
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: somebody at the White House, and I didn't ask the question.

124
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: But I don't suspect that the President is going to

125
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: be talking about the memo. I do believe the President

126
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: will try and at least strike a tone of, you know,

127
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: being somewhat conciliatory. But I don't think the Democrats have

128
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,559
Speaker 1: ever have any interest in that. But the really big

129
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: news is what happened. We were talking about some of

130
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: it on the area yesterday and and that is the disgrace.

131
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe is out at the bureau.

132
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: Um he was removed from his post. He didn't leave voluntarily,

133
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: according to all our sources. Sarah Carter is reporting that

134
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: you'll join us later in the program with Greg Jarrett

135
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: today and UH also that McCabe's exit is probably just

136
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: the beginning of many more resignations to come. Now, again,

137
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: I want to be very specific and clear that we're

138
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: not talking about rank and file LEFTBI and d J

139
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: people or intelligence people. We're talking about the upper echelon.

140
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: We're talking about an elite group of people, the people

141
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: that that protect us every day and properly use the

142
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: weapons of intelligence that we entrust to them. We're not

143
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: talking about them. We're very appreciative of what they do.

144
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: We're very appreciative of the of the rank and file

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 1: le FBI agents that go out and and fight the

146
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: fights that that we can't fight ourselves against a lot

147
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: of people perpetrating a lot of evil in society. And

148
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: that's the same with all law enforcement. You know, the

149
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,640
Speaker 1: phony narrative by the left, conservative conspiracy theorists, Hey, they're

150
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: trashing an institution, the FBI. We're not doing anything of

151
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: the sort. What we're doing is we're we're basically talking

152
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: about those people in the highest levels of power that

153
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: have abused it. But the biggest issue remains now that

154
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 1: since we got off the air yesterday, the House Intelligence

155
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: Committee voted to release that classified memo that shows what

156
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: we now believe, based on our sources, to be massive

157
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: and severe abuse of FISA warrants. And you gotta understand

158
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: what a FISA warrant is. That that is, FISA was

159
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 1: designed post nine eleven so that, if need be, we

160
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: can spy on Americans. In other words, it's it's a

161
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: mechanism by which if you have enough information and and

162
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: suspicions about an individual, you plea your case in secret

163
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: before a FISA court now for Hillary Clinton to buy,

164
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, have a bought and paid for dossier full

165
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: of phony, salacious, Russian sourced lies, aid to manipulate the

166
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: general election and then be used as the foundation to

167
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,719
Speaker 1: get a warrant to spy on an opposition candidate in

168
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: an election year and thence by on an incoming president elect.

169
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: That's not what FISA was designed for. And as one

170
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: high ranking member of the House told me yesterday, if

171
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: we don't fix these abuses, you can take the Constitution

172
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: and put it through a shredder because Fourth Amendment rights

173
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: against unreasonable search and seizure it did just evaporated, and

174
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: that there's going to be massive wholesale changes to protect

175
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: against this type of thing ever happening again. You know.

176
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: On top of all of this, then we've got this,

177
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: We've got this big information crisis in the country. You

178
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 1: have a media that for an entire year and I

179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: played this yesterday. I won't bother playing it again today,

180
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: that has gone out and told you day in and

181
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:21,680
Speaker 1: day out, breathlessly, hysterically literally you know, panting whatever little

182
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: shred of what they thought was evidence of Trump Russia collusion.

183
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: To this day, there's no evidence of Trump Russia collusion,

184
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: not a shred of it. You know, I went through

185
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,959
Speaker 1: this last night. I went through it in in great detail.

186
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: You know, all the issues we have been talking about,

187
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 1: we actually have real evidence before that we're presenting every day,

188
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 1: and we give you that evidence, and it grows every day.

189
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: And it started about a year ago when John Solomon

190
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: and Sarah Carter and and they said, hey, it looks

191
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: like Trump Tower was surveiled and they had gotten a

192
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Fizer warrant, and at the time than Donald Trump at

193
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: some point down the road following the news says it

194
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: looks like Obama spied on Drum Tower. And the media

195
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: mocked and ridiculed and laughed and made fun of, just

196
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 1: like they mocked and ridiculed and made fun of the

197
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: idea that Donald Trump was actually gonna run for president.

198
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: Not only did he run, he beat sixteen senior political

199
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: figures in the country, and then he goes on to

200
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: beat the Clinton cartel. They didn't expect that either, but

201
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: they did have their insurance policy, as we now know

202
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 1: from Peter Struck and his mistress uh Lisa Page. We

203
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: know in that case, you know, you look at everything

204
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: involved with Andrew McCabe. Everything about Andrew McCabe. Here's a

205
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 1: guy that you know, it was involved in every single

206
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: instance of corruption and abuse and especially abuse of power

207
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 1: the FBI that was exposed. You have the top ranks

208
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 1: of the FBI. This needs to be cleaned out. And

209
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: the people that I'm hearing from the most that want

210
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: to cleaned out our FBI guys that I know, they

211
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: this is on how they roll of them. Now when

212
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: you finally vote to releases, why did all the Democrats

213
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: vote that you cannot see this because they don't want

214
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: you to see it. And they don't want you to

215
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: see it because you know, because it's gonna be transparent

216
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: and obvious. How abusive that they how abusive they've made

217
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 1: this whole process anyway, So we've got so much to

218
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: get to in the course of the program. Today we're

219
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: in Washington. You know, the media is obsessed with one

220
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: thing for one year. They're wrong every day and here's

221
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: the biggest story of their life and career, and they

222
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,960
Speaker 1: just ignore it. You know, I'll give you some examples

223
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: to help you understand Hillary broke the law. Hillary had

224
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 1: a server and a mom and pop shop bathroom closet.

225
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 1: Hillary had on that classified top secret Special Access Program information.

226
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 1: Mishandling classified information is a felony. If you destroy classified information,

227
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: it's a felony. She not only she took thirty three

228
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: thousand emails that were subpoenaed and deleted them. Then to

229
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: make sure they're gone, she acid washed and bleached bit them,

230
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: and then to make double e sure in case they

231
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: went to her BlackBerry, she smashed those with hammers. Well,

232
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 1: those are laws. I gave you the codes yesterday on

233
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: the program. I won't go over that today. She broke

234
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: the law. Those are facts. There's no facts in Trump Russia.

235
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,840
Speaker 1: We have facts with Peter Struck, and we have facts

236
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: that James Comey and Struck were writing an exoneration before

237
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: an investigation. They changed the legal standard from gross negligence

238
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: to extreme carelessness. They took out that foreign agencies had

239
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: literally hacked in the Hillary Clinton's emails and got top

240
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: secret information. We know that Hillary Clinton paid for the

241
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,640
Speaker 1: phony dossier. We know that she rigged the primary against

242
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: Bernie according to Donna Brazil. We know that she tried

243
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 1: to rig the general with the phony Russian propaganda that

244
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: she paid for to lie to the American people. Then

245
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 1: it's the foundation for a FISA warrant against an opposition

246
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 1: party in an election year. We have evidence in every

247
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: one of these charges we're making. Your fake news media

248
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 1: has nothing. They have nothing. Ask any Democrat what evidence

249
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: do you have of a Trump Russia collusion and see

250
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 1: what the answer is gonna be. There's no answer. It's

251
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: like we got I'll play some tape later in the program. Um,

252
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: you have Campus for Change. They went out and Campus

253
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: part form. Okay, they went out and uh interviewed a

254
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: bunch of students. What did you think of the president's

255
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: State of the Union interests? They hate the president. It

256
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 1: was a horrible speech. The speech hasn't happened yet. Unbelievable.

257
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: They're your future leaders, your future congressman and senators. Zero

258
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: along Sean Hannah the show nine one Sean, I'm want

259
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. Here's a couple

260
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: of things. Now, if you look at the involvement of

261
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: James Comey and Peter Struck, and then Peter are struck

262
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: with Lisa Page, and then the involvement of Andrew McCabe

263
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: in that, and then the involvement of Loretto Lynch and

264
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: all that. There's some interesting things. You look at the

265
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: just the few text messages We've got this over fifty

266
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: thou of them. You know, I want to believe the

267
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: path that you threw out for consideration in Andy's office,

268
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: that there's no way he gets elected. But I'm afraid

269
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: we can't take that risk. It's like an insurance policy

270
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: and the unlikely event you die before your forty. Wow,

271
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 1: now we know we didn't know then. Now we know

272
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: what that means. And most of us are surmising Andy

273
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: to be Andrew McCabe who got fired yesterday. And it

274
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 1: was McCabe who also oversaw Struct's work on the counterintelligence

275
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 1: investigation and to quote, Russian interference in the twenty sixteen

276
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: presidential election. And it was Lisa Page, his mistress, that

277
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: was advising McCabe on legal matters and struck in Page

278
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: were later removed by Special Counsel Muller because he got ahead.

279
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Is up that this these text messages existed. Now the

280
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: question is uh. Katherine Herrige at Fox reported McCabe is

281
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: believed to have been a central point of contact for

282
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 1: the handling of Fusion GPS and the dossier compiled by

283
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: the former m I six intelligence guy Christopher Steele, and

284
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: mckabe was set to meet with the House Intelligence Committee

285
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: just before Christmas about the FBI's involvement with the dossier,

286
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: but he had scheduling issues. When we come back, I'm

287
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna give you more on that timeline and much more.

297
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: Not that I'm being specific or anything, um, but we

298
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: expect it's gonna be. You know, he's got a story

299
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 1: to tell about economic growth. He's got a story to tell.

300
00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 1: You know, the lowest unemployment numbers for when you look

301
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 1: at it demographically for Black Americans, Hispanic Americans in history,

302
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: a seventeen year low unemployment level for women, two million

303
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,640
Speaker 1: fewer Americans on food stamps, two point two million jobs created.

304
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:29,480
Speaker 1: You know, twenty regulations gone for every new one that

305
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: they took on, and wars Finally, for the first time,

306
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: President Reagan wanted to open and more for drilling. Now

307
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: it's going to be open for drilling. You know, the

308
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: coal industry has been saved. You've got pipelines that are

309
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: about to be built. You've got jobs that are going

310
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 1: to be created, especially in the energy sector, where we

311
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 1: have the benefit that we're not going to count on

312
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: other countries that hate our guts for the lifeblood of

313
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: our economy, the engine of our economy. And then we'll

314
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: create millions of high paying career jobs for Americans that

315
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: need them. That's all gonna be, you know, something that

316
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 1: that we all want need, you know, you think about that.

317
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a dramatic consumer confidence stock market

318
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: records ISIS has been defeated, got rid of the employer mandate,

319
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and the tax bill. The tax bill hasn't even taken

320
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: effects yet. That's February one. People are gonna see a

321
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: lot more money in their pockets. This is real change,

322
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: and he did it, you know, with with under the

323
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: most difficult conditions. No, not to be rude to summer

324
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: weak Republicans, but some Republicans never meant it when they

325
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 1: said they wanted to repeal and replace Obamacare. So we

326
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: had to thread the needle there. They got to build pass.

327
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 1: To their credit, I'm less critical of the House. They

328
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 1: passed over three hundred bills that the Senate never passed,

329
00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: including Steinley Kate, Steinley's Bill and law and other things

330
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,120
Speaker 1: Kate's Law. So, you know, I wish the Center would

331
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 1: move a little faster. I'd like to see them this

332
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: year fund the wall completely and get a couple of

333
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: hundred new miles built so people can say, yeah, we

334
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: did it this time, because they promised it in eighty six,

335
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,440
Speaker 1: they promised it under George W. Bush in two thousand

336
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: and six, and they promised it in two thousand and thirteen. Nothing.

337
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: We never You always get the tax increase, I'm sorry,

338
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: the spending. The spending increase, You never get the tax cut.

339
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: You always get the amnesty of the consideration. You never

340
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: get the wall, the security that they promised. Anyway, Joining

341
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: us now is Steve Callis is Scalisi is the House

342
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: majority whip. I heard you had to go back in

343
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: the hospital and that you came out with you know,

344
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: doing really well. Uh, and this hopefully is your last surgery.

345
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: I heard how you doing, Hey, Sean, I'm doing real good.

346
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: I Uh, yeah, I had a surgery two weeks ago.

347
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: We had to kind of redo repair a lot of

348
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: the damage that was done internally that needed to heal first.

349
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 1: So you know, we've been about seven months past the shooting,

350
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,960
Speaker 1: and that one very successfully. They said, I've got one

351
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: final surgery to go in two and a half months.

352
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: That'll uh, that will hopefully be the very less one

353
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: tied to all of this. So it's you know, putting

354
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: everything back together again and still got rehab to go.

355
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 1: But it's gone well. And by the prayers have been unbelievable,

356
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: and I appreciate every one of them. Well that that

357
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,400
Speaker 1: certainly makes you stop in your tracks in life when

358
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: you get shot and you're not expecting it's just playing

359
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 1: a little soft all with your buddies, right yet, Uh,

360
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: he always came out of nowhere. You're not expecting it

361
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 1: at all. You're playing baseball with you know, with a

362
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: bunch of friends, and next thing, you know, you know,

363
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,919
Speaker 1: you're in a hospital fighting for your life. And that

364
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: went on for about a month and then another two

365
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 1: and a half months relearning how to walk again, and

366
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: finally got back out and got to get back to work.

367
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: And that's been great just to be able to go

368
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: home on weekends again with my family and to uh,

369
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: you know, to be here working with President Trump and

370
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: just phenomenal things that he's doing to get this economy

371
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 1: moving again. Vice President Pens just golly has been such

372
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: a such a great friend, going back to when we

373
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: served in the House together, but I think he's been

374
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: such a great strong ally to President Trump. Uh, to

375
00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 1: have such a one to punch and done getting some

376
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 1: really big things done that you just touted. I mean,

377
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 1: you really hit on so many things that President Trump

378
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 1: can talk about tonight. And look these tax cuts, you know,

379
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: the doom and gloom that you know, Pelosi was saying

380
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: just yesterday the her worst nightmare, the thing that keeps

381
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,359
Speaker 1: her up at night, or this dark cloud cast by

382
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: these tax cuts giving people their money back. And yet

383
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: Exxon yesterday showing fifty billion dollars of new investment in America.

384
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 1: I mean, Starbucks and Disney and Home Depot and FedEx

385
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: just last week are giving pay raises to their employees,

386
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: and Democrats are upset about that. So I think it

387
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: shows you the contrast betweenter parties. You know, I didn't

388
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth, and

389
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 1: I doubt you did either. But I gotta tell you,

390
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: you know, I remember, you know, those years that I

391
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: really struggled. I mean, it was month a month for me,

392
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: and I'm a young adult and I'm trying to pay

393
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 1: my rent and trying to make my way, and I

394
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: couldn't afford to even eat by cheeseburgers, for crying out loud.

395
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: I was always making my own and uh anyway, and

396
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: and then Nancy Pelosi comes along and says a thousand

397
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: dollars or two thousand dollars that these companies are giving

398
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 1: as bonuses to their employees and there's so many of them,

399
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: and that they're getting pay raises, and then they're getting

400
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,239
Speaker 1: the tax cuts beginning February one. And she, you know,

401
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 1: I know, she used to use a government G five

402
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: to fly back and forth to to San Francisco, which

403
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: cost us like eighty thousand dollars round trip, but for

404
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: the average person, that's a lot of money. Those are

405
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: in crumbs, as she suggested, right she called a crumbs

406
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 1: and it looks on I mean, Home Depot was one

407
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: of those companies last week that gave pay raises and

408
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: bonuses their employees. I worked my way through l Shue

409
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: when I was a student at Home Depot. That thousand

410
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: dollars would have meant a lot to me as a

411
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: as a student struggling to get by. But you know,

412
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 1: ultimately he was able to because of the value that

413
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 1: work into those families that are working at Home Deepot

414
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: right now, or any of those companies that you're seeing,

415
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars is a big deal for them. I mean,

416
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, the A. T and T was the first

417
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: company that day. Were in the White House lawn where

418
00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: President Trump is getting ready to celebrate the fact that

419
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: the House and the Senate both came together to put

420
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: that bill on his desk for him to sign, and A. T.

421
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:06,680
Speaker 1: And C said we're going to give a thousand dollar

422
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: bonuses to two hundred thousand workers. And the guy that's

423
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: laying fiber off the cable for A T. T making

424
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: fifty thousand a year right before Christmas. That was a

425
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: windfall to that family where they maybe could buy Christmas

426
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: presents for their kids that they couldn't have otherwise afforded.

427
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: And you know these out of touch elitist liberals up

428
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: here that that just looked down on people like that, saying, oh,

429
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: that's just crumbs and you don't deserve that anyway, that's

430
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: how they feel. Let me ask you this. You know,

431
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: we're we're going through, I think a pretty difficult time.

432
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: We've spent a year of the news media in this country,

433
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: democrats in this country accusing the president of some type

434
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 1: of collusion with Russia and the lead up to the election. Uh,

435
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,439
Speaker 1: you've had an opportunity to read all the information as

436
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 1: everybody else does. Do you see any evidence of such? No?

437
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: And you know, when you look at what President Trump

438
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: has done, I mean, he said, look, here's everything, and

439
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: they've even implied that is no collusion that they've been

440
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: able to find. Yet they just keep going down this

441
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: witch hunt and uh, and it's real concerning, and you know,

442
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: where does it end. But at least President Trump's not

443
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: being not being deterred by it. He's every time you

444
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: meet with him in small settings and I know, you

445
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: know Donald Trump really well, uh, he's a man who

446
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: when he's sitting in a meeting, he's all business. How

447
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,360
Speaker 1: do I get the economy movement? How do I improve

448
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: the lives of struggling people, those forgotten men and women

449
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: that elected him president of United States? And he's fulfilling

450
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: those promises to him. And I think that's what liberals

451
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: hate the most is that Donald Trump got elected. They

452
00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: didn't want him to get elected. They try to act

453
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 1: like he's not president, and he's doing the things that

454
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: he that he said he would do, which is you know,

455
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: they go run around spewing lies and and never follow

456
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 1: through on their promises, and he's actually getting stuff done

457
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: that he said he would do as president. You know.

458
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: I mean that's the thing. Now, what do you make

459
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: of Have you taken the time? I don't know if

460
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: if you've been well enough to go over, did you

461
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 1: go over and see this memo that the House Intel

462
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: Committee voted out yesterday and that President will decide if

463
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: it's going to go public or the White House will.

464
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 1: Actually I have an appointment to read it this evening,

465
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: so they have before the State of the Union. They

466
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: have time set up for me to go read it.

467
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 1: I was real happy. I talked to Devin Downez yesterday

468
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: and commended him and his committee on voting to release it,

469
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: And frankly, I think that's the way it should go.

470
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: Just the fact that you've see Nancy Pelosi and these

471
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 1: liberals going nuts trying to still to prevent this thing

472
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: from being released tells you there must be something really

473
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,919
Speaker 1: going on there that the public said, see about. So

474
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna review it later day. But everybody have talked

475
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: to you that's read it said it's very concerning, number one,

476
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: but it ought to be released publicly. Well, I think

477
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: the public has a right to know. Um. When you

478
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: look at everything that we do know on this front,

479
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have a lot of information.

480
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we do know that laws were broken.

481
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: We know ms. Look I read eighteen USC. Seven and

482
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: all the different codes that are associated with this. But

483
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: the mishandling a classified, top secret special access programming information

484
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 1: that is all against the law. Uh. If you have

485
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand emails you delete after their subpoena, that

486
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: is against the law. If you destroy top secret, classified

487
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,880
Speaker 1: special access program information, that is against the law. And

488
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: if you want nobody to ever find it again, and

489
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 1: you use acid wash and bleach bit that's a crime.

490
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 1: And then you break up blackberries with hammers. That seems

491
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: like obstruction to me. Um. Then we find out that

492
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 1: the FBI director at the time, James call me in

493
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 1: early May, is writing an exoneration along with Peter Struck,

494
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 1: a guy who along with his mistress is going to

495
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: President Loads, a lonesome human being talking about their supportive

496
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,480
Speaker 1: Hillary F. Trump and everything in between. They are writing

497
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 1: an exoneration months before they ever interview Hillary Clinton or

498
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: the other people that should be investigated. Did you ever

499
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: hear of law enforcement working that way in your life?

500
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: I haven't. It's it's a nut sean and a look.

501
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: The good news is the public saw all of this

502
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: in two six during the election. President Trump surely talked

503
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: about it everywhere he went. But ultimately, I think that

504
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: was part of Hillary Clinton's undoing is you know, what

505
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: are you doing trying to destroy evidence like this? I

506
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: mean that's a federal crime to destroy a federal evidence,

507
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: And I think it really hurt her credibility amongst swing

508
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:20,800
Speaker 1: voters who might have otherwise looked at her and they

509
00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: realized I'm not going there. And Donald Trump was able

510
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: to get a lot of those votes who who swing

511
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: back and forth because well, I get it might have influenced.

512
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: But but the fact is, if call me and Struck

513
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,440
Speaker 1: and others in McCabe were all exonerating her and then

514
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: not following the rule of law, I mean, doesn't it

515
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: sound if you look at you eight teen US Code seven,

516
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: doesn't it appear that she violated laws and that they

517
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 1: gave her a pass, and that the fix was in

518
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: and that it might have been rigged from the beginning.

519
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: Was just what I was thinking. And uh, and and

520
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: luckily they weren't able to fix it. They tried, but

521
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: they weren't able to. But you're right, I mean, there

522
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 1: are laws that are on the books, and you know,

523
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,879
Speaker 1: whether they gave immunity or said you can, you know,

524
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: you can get off the hook, that's not That's not

525
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,639
Speaker 1: the way are systems are supposed to work. Yeah, what

526
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: do you think should happen from here? In other words,

527
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: if we have a situation that you know, look at

528
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: the dossier situation as one example, it was bought and

529
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 1: paid for by Hillary and her campaign in the d

530
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: n C. So my question is that was phony Russian propaganda.

531
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 1: She bought and paid for it. That's fine. You can

532
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,480
Speaker 1: buy whatever she wants if she wants to mislead the

533
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: American people. I guess they then can make their own decision.

534
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 1: But when you find out it was used as the

535
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: foundation for a viser warrant against an opposition party candidate

536
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 1: in an election year and then a president elect, do

537
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: you have a problem with that? Yeah? I think it

538
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: raises serious questions about the credibility and investigation. I think

539
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: our members on the Oversight Committee, you know, you see

540
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan out their gates and Trey Goudy and others

541
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: that have been pointing a lot of this out and

542
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: uncovering it. Frankly, Sean, we went not have known a

543
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 1: lot about a lot of if those members that I

544
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: mentioned and others, uh, you know, like Devin noonez have

545
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: been out there uncovering what we now know. And and

546
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: it's concerning what we've been able to find out, and

547
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep digging and finding more. What do you

548
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: want the Republican Party to do this year? We keep hearing,

549
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, usually in in off years elections after presidential race,

550
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: usually the party that came to the White House in power,

551
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: they tend to lose seats. Are you worried about this election?

552
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 1: And if you are, what would be the advice you'd

553
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 1: give the leadership what you are a part of. But

554
00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: Paul Ryan, Kevin McCarthy, and and maybe if you ever

555
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: talked to Mitch McConnell, who hates my guts, what you

556
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: would say to him? Well, first of all, I would

557
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: say that we ought to be concerned about this election

558
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: cycle because Liberals have never been more energized that I've

559
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: seen him. I mean, they're turning out in record numbers

560
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: in some of these other races, and so any member

561
00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 1: in a in a swing district ought to be ready.

562
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: I've talked to a lot of my colleagues that are

563
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: in those tough districts. The good news is they know

564
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,280
Speaker 1: what's coming and they're preparing for a really tough race.

565
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: And so you know, that's how we're to keep our majorities,

566
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: by going and fighting in these tough races and making

567
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 1: sure that our members are ready to go to battle

568
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:07,760
Speaker 1: because it's going to be a battle. But I would

569
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: also say to go big, you know, be bold, just

570
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: like we have been this tax cut bill. Uh. It's historic.

571
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, when Ronald Reagan was the president was the

572
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: last time we truly reformed our tax code. And we're

573
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 1: already seeing benefits just weeks later, and this is going

574
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:23,760
Speaker 1: to continue. Sean. We need to keep telling this story

575
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: because the mainstream media is not telling people just yesterday

576
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: that Exxon gave a fifty billion dollar commitment to invest

577
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 1: more in America. And it's happening every day, and local

578
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: businesses are doing the same thing in each of our communities,

579
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: and we need to be featuring those as members, going

580
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: back home and telling people how our local businesses. I've

581
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: got a local brewery called Gnarly Barley and Hammond, Louisiana,

582
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: six person operation. Because of the tax cut bill, they're

583
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,040
Speaker 1: finally able to provide healthcare benefits to their employees for

584
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: the first time ever. That's real benefits to real families

585
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: because of what we did, and we need to do more.

586
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna have workforce challenges because now you're seeing all

587
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: of this hiring companies are investing in their workers. You

588
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 1: had millions of people into Barack Obama who just gave

589
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: up on looking for a job because the economy was

590
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: so bad Under Obama, it's the reverse. Now. We need

591
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: to encourage people to get back into the workforce and

592
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: making sure that our welfare programs work not to disincentivize

593
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: somebody to work, but actually help people get back into

594
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: the workforce where they can become part of the American dream. Again,

595
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: that's something we ought to focus on front and center.

596
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: And obviously there are a lot of other things that

597
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:30,760
Speaker 1: we ought to be focusing on too this year. But

598
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: I would say, stay big and bold, working with this

599
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 1: president who is following through in the promises, and they're more.

600
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 1: There's more that this president wants to do. President Trump

601
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 1: wants to stay aggressive, and we ought to be right

602
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: there with and we're going to get that done. We're

603
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: glad you're back. We'll glad you're healthy. I know you've

604
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: been through a lot, your family has been through a lot.

605
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 1: Congressman Steve Scalise, God bless you and your family and

606
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: especially those officers that were there for you that day.

607
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 1: They were true heroes. Thank you, my friend. The police

608
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: were heroes. Shawn. Great to be with you again. Appreciated

609

00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,400
Speaker 1: dot com for the Deplorable Party. I'm an online viewing.

616
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: Should have some fun to meet other deplorables. Congressmen. There

617
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: are Democrats who were saying that what the Republicans are

618
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 1: doing with this memo and just a general drum beat

619
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 1: up on Capitol Hill is trying to diminish Robert Mueller

620
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: and his investigation. Yeah. I think it was two days

621
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: ago I said I'll support Bob Mueller. Um, I wasn't

622
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: a math major. I'll think you can support someone more

623
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: than so. Look, my Democratic colleagues didn't want us to

624
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: find this information. That they did everything they could to

625
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: keep us from finding this information, So of course they

626
00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: don't want to be embarrassing to them. Um, I think

627
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: it'll it'll be embarrassing the Adam Schiff once people realize

628
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 1: the cent to which he went to keep them from

629
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: learning any of this, so that that would be the embarrassment.

630
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: What do you mean, I mean going to court to

631
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 1: to to help Fusion GPS so we can't find out

632
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: that they paid for the for uh, the dossier um

633
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: and that they were working for the d n c UM.

634
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 1: That's a pretty big step to go to court to

635
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 1: try to keep the American people from learning something. So look,

636
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 1: if it were up to Adam Shiff, you wouldn't know

637
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:29,640
Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton's email, you wouldn't know about the server,

638
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know who paid for the dossier. So I

639
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: do find it ironic that he has his own memo

640
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:36,560
Speaker 1: now because if he were up to him, we wouldn't

641
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: know any of them. All right, nour to Sean Hannity's

642
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: show that was trade Gounty, UH, glad you're with us.

643
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 1: We're in our nation's capital, State of the Union addresses

644
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: coming up tonight, nine Eastern Hannity immediately thereafter, Uh joining

645
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: us now as former Speaker of the House and Fox

646
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 1: News contributor, author of many best selling books. I think

647
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,080
Speaker 1: your best selling book, though, was Understanding Trump, wasn't it?

648
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: It was? It was amazingly successful because people were fascinated

649
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: with this guy who had come out of nowhere beaten

650
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: sixteen Republicans be Hillary Clinton, be the elite media, and

651
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:16,560
Speaker 1: they want to understanding better. So he's uh, and tonight

652
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: I think will be a really important State of the Union.

653
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: I think he's laying out as he did in Davos

654
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,919
Speaker 1: in the clip you had just now, he's laying out

655
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: what what Trump is m is all about. And and

656
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 1: also he's in a position now to talk as a winner,

657
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: not just as a fighter, because look, look at the

658
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 1: real results of the tax cuts. Look what's happening to

659
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,439
Speaker 1: everyday American people. By the way, Uh, I mean there's

660
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: a you're talking about the crumbs. Nancy Pelosi calls, you know,

661
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: two thousand dollar bonuses and pay increases and tax cuts

662
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: that will maybe in many cases be four thousand additional

663
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,279
Speaker 1: dollars a year for people. Well, but let me know

664
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: even example, and Joe, Joe Kennedy is giving the Democratic

665
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: answer tonight. In his district, the Ways and Means Committee

666
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:10,960
Speaker 1: figured out that a median family of four gets a

667
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred dollar tax break. Now that means that

668
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: Joe Kennedy is gonna explain why he voted against the

669
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 1: people of Massachusetts in his district, having five thousand, eight

670
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:28,239
Speaker 1: hundred dollars more in their pocket. And remember, over ten years,

671
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: that's fifty eight thousand dollars in their pockets. That's for

672
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 1: a family of four. Um, And I think Republicans are

673
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,840
Speaker 1: just gonna get dramatically better at explaining the power of

674
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:42,280
Speaker 1: what of what Trump is doing. Get you know, Walmart

675
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: employees getting bonuses. You've got people all of the country

676
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: getting bonuses. You have small businesses hiring people. The President

677
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 1: as a guest tonight, who I think has almost doubled

678
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 1: his workforce because of the tax cuts. I just flew

679
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,200
Speaker 1: back today from Rome and just landed in Washington a

680
00:35:59,280 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 1: few minutes ago. Yeah, one of the people I flew

681
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 1: with today said he is expanding his business because of

682
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 1: the tax cuts. He said, I cannot tell you how

683
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: much more business we're gonna do, and how much more

684
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna invest in creating jobs. I mean, that's the

685
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: amazing thing. I mean, all the economic activity that's taken place.

686
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,839
Speaker 1: I won't reiterate I did it in the last half

687
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: hour with Steve scalise Um, but to two point two

688
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: million new jobs, two million fewer people on on food stamps,

689
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: and you know, the lowest unemployment numbers for Black Americans,

690
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans, seventeen year low unemployment for for women in America.

691
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: I mean these are great numbers. Uh yeah, I think

692
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: it's it's all fantastic, and especially getting rid of some

693
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: of the burdensome regulation the government is a great thing.

694
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: The media never talks about it, though we've had a

695
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: year of NonStop talk about one issue, Trump Russian collusion.

696
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: I to this day can find anybody that has any

697
00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 1: evidence of such, So I would argue that he did

698
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 1: all of this under the well, but they do make

699
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: it up. I mean, but it's but it's but it's problematic.

700
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: It's been problematic for the president and but the White

701
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 1: House and Robert Mueller is still doing his thing. I

702
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,480
Speaker 1: think that Mueller is the greatest threat to the Trump

703
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 1: presidency because as a prosecutor who has been given to

704
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: an absurd level uh in ability to look at anything. Uh,

705
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 1: it just sets up an almost impossible situation. And you

706
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 1: have to ask yourself. For example, at a point in time, um,

707
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,520
Speaker 1: when people were cooperating, you know, and Paul Manafort was

708
00:37:40,640 --> 00:37:44,799
Speaker 1: literally cooperating with the Senate and House committees, Mueller got

709
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,800
Speaker 1: permission to break into his house at three in the

710
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:52,919
Speaker 1: morning with people with weapons. Well, Maniford and his wife

711
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 1: were in bed, and you have to say to yourself,

712
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, what exactly is the deep state trying to

713
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,759
Speaker 1: tell the Are they trying to intimidate all of us?

714
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: They say? You know. On the other hand, of course,

715
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:08,720
Speaker 1: if you are a Clinton staffer, you're treated with kid gloves.

716
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 1: You're not indicted, you're not in trouble, you don't have

717
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: any difficulty. And I think this has got to, in

718
00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: part be a year in which we really have a

719
00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:19,040
Speaker 1: clear choice for the American people. You've you've learned now

720
00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: beyond any doubt that there were significant people and at

721
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 1: the senior level of the FBI who had gone off

722
00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,880
Speaker 1: the tracks and who were pro Clinton anti Trump in

723
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: ways that totally threatened to discredit the system and frankly

724
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,280
Speaker 1: or dangerous. You can't have the nation's leading police force

725
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: have people in the senior ranks who are politically that prejudice.

726
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: What do you make of the fact that Peter struck

727
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: in Lisa Pages girlfriend are still at the FBI. What

728
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: do you make of the firing of Andrew McCabe. He

729
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,080
Speaker 1: was told he was let go, he was removed from

730
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,799
Speaker 1: that post we're told from some reporting, Sarah Carter among them,

731
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,680
Speaker 1: that this exit is only the beginning of more asignations

732
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: to come. Uh. And on top of I don't I

733
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: don't see how Peter struct survives. I mean, why is

734
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,560
Speaker 1: he there? Now? I agree with you, but but this,

735
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 1: this is a place where frankly, I'm very disappointed an

736
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: Attorney General Sessions. Uh, he did not recuse himself from

737
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 1: being responsible for managing the department. I mean, he can

738
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 1: claim he's got to deal with where he's not supposed

739
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:28,319
Speaker 1: to deal do something the Miller, But in the case

740
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: of Struck, the Attorney generals will reach in there and

741
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: suspend him immediately. You know, you don't understand why he's

742
00:39:35,120 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: not doing it, Mr Speaker. You know you you know

743
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: me a lot over the years, and the things that

744
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 1: I know and the things that are coming to pass

745
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: are as bad as troubling as anything I've ever seen

746
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: in my life. I mean, let's put aside that we

747
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:54,800
Speaker 1: know Hillary rigged the primary election. I can only imagine

748
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,920
Speaker 1: what the media would be saying if it was Donald Trump.

749
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 1: But then you have James Comey and Struck in page

750
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: and apparently Andrew McCabe, and it even seems Loretta Lynch

751
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: new ahead of time that they were never gonna hold

752
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: Hillary accountable for known felonies that were committed with the

753
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 1: email server. S candle, it's you know, a teen US

754
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 1: code seven nine three. It is incontrovertible. She broke the

755
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 1: law on multiple occasions, so they put the fix in

756
00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: for her so she can continue as a presidential candidate.

757
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:25,920
Speaker 1: Then she pays for, bought and paid for Russian dossier.

758
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 1: You can't make this up, full of salacious lies. That's

759
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: to manipulate the general election and lie to the American people.

760
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: And then that same dossier that Fusion GPS never verified. Uh,

761
00:40:38,760 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: and they they helped dispense. According to one testimony of

762
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,760
Speaker 1: Glenn Simpson to the to the news media, that's gullible.

763
00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: But then they use that as a foundation to spy

764
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,960
Speaker 1: on an opposition candidate in an election year and then

765
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: a president elect. Now I don't know about you, but

766
00:40:55,760 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, um, this goes against every single fund mental

767
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:03,920
Speaker 1: right we have in our constitution against unreasonable search and seizure.

768
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,920
Speaker 1: And it happened, and not only did it happen, but

769
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 1: the news media is ignoring it all I would I

770
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: would say that half or more of what we have

771
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,760
Speaker 1: come to learn we've come to learn from investigative reporters

772
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 1: on your show. I mean you you have personally pulled

773
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 1: together more information about how how sick the system got

774
00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: thn NBC, CBS, ABC combined. Now that's that's kind of astonishing,

775
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 1: and it's it's a tribute to you, and it's a

776
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 1: tribute to the very smart people you have on the show.

777
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: But but it's also a really sad comment on where

778
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,759
Speaker 1: the elite media's you know, I've said what I said

779
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: with this over the weekend, because um, it is if you,

780
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:52,879
Speaker 1: if you're a normal person, you're leaving a normal life.

781
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:55,960
Speaker 1: These things come and go and you hear and you think, wow,

782
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: that's weird, but you you don't quite get the rhythm

783
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,960
Speaker 1: of all of it. And I was talking to a

784
00:42:02,080 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 1: reporter who was trying to genuinely trying to understand this,

785
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 1: which was sort of an instinct experience, but that you

786
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: reminded me. He reminded me. I have a system I

787
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:15,759
Speaker 1: call putting the dots on the wall. Until the dots

788
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: tell you whether it's a rhinoceros or a kangaroo or whatever,

789
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,480
Speaker 1: you just keep putting dots up and and and so

790
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: I want to suggest to you, um, they don't see

791
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,480
Speaker 1: what your audience thinks of this, Uh, that you ought

792
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:32,400
Speaker 1: to think about putting together sort of a giant chart

793
00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: that would take the last few years going back to Rosenstein,

794
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: who I think who was actually in charge of the

795
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:44,320
Speaker 1: uranium one investigation at one point. And and and looking

796
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: at if you look at the way all these people

797
00:42:46,520 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: weave together, Uh, it is stunningly incestuous. They they've spent

798
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: their whole careers together. They have they all know each other. Listen,

799
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,239
Speaker 1: I've got to be honest. Here's what I don't understand either.

800
00:43:01,840 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: You know, I remember and you and I often kid

801
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: you about this because I I kind of like to

802
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: think that I paved my own way in this business,

803
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 1: and I don't want to be like everybody else. I

804
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 1: think the media is a bunch of sheep. I think

805
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 1: they lie for a living. They've lied to the American

806
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: people for a year. And my gut instincts, you know,

807
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,439
Speaker 1: tell me to go in one direction, and I felt

808
00:43:22,480 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: it was necessary to vet. For example, Barack Obama, I

809
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: thought it was necessary eight years later to point out

810
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 1: that his policies had failed these are these are all

811
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 1: stories the country ignored. I mean, imagine if the picture

812
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: of Louis Farricon and anti Semite, a racist had shown

813
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: up that existed before Obama ran in two thousand and eight,

814
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: it would fit into the airs and and Dorn and

815
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 1: Acorn and o Lynskey and Reverend Right narrative. Um, And

816
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: there was a picture at the Congressional Black Caucus event

817
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 1: of some kind. And it's the same thing here. I

818
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 1: feel the media, with no evidence, has gone with a

819
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:00,120
Speaker 1: story that has been fake, phony and fraudulent. And I

820
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:01,920
Speaker 1: think we have looked at something that may be the

821
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,319
Speaker 1: biggest scandal in American history. And I don't think I'm

822
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 1: overstating the case. No, I think that's right. I think

823
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I will confess that when

824
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: you were really aggressively going after the radical links to Obama,

825
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 1: I thought at the time you or what we're doing it.

826
00:44:19,320 --> 00:44:22,640
Speaker 1: You know, It's only later I realized how you were

827
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:26,720
Speaker 1: the only person who really understood what all those different

828
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: linkages meant, and you therefore had a much better sense

829
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: of how radical Obama's administration. So my hands, no, no,

830
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 1: but but you you were. But you also knew that

831
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: there were people that wanted to destroy me at the

832
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 1: time and want to silence my voice today. Of course. Look,

833
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 1: but you've chosen sides, and what is the cultural civil war?

834
00:44:48,200 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: Yes I have, I mean you you know, and and

835
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: and so guess what. The other side doesn't like it.

836
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:58,600
Speaker 1: This is why I love you so much, I really

837
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:01,320
Speaker 1: And the other side doesn't like you, and they hate you.

838
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 1: Just come out and say it. He goes to the territory.

839
00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:09,800
Speaker 1: Because you you have done. You have been insisting on

840
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,239
Speaker 1: pulling the threads together. You've been insisting on highlighting the

841
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 1: aggressive young investigative reporters who are making such a difference. Um,

842
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: and I think literally half of all the coverage of

843
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,680
Speaker 1: the totality of this scandal has been on your show,

844
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: which is both a great compliment to you and a

845
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 1: great condemnation of so much the news needed. It's not covered.

846
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 1: But I do get a sense that that the leak

847
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,359
Speaker 1: age is breaking down. I hope you're right. I mean,

848
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,400
Speaker 1: I hope to gone. You're right. All right, hang on,

849
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. New ging Ridges with

850
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: us and uh, obviously Newts Uh are you really working

851
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: on another Trump book? I'm interested to hear about the

852
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 1: working at a book. I'm working a book called him

853
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: Trump's America, and very excited, but I see it builds

854
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 1: on the next stage. I want to ask you if

855
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,360
Speaker 1: Trump is a conservative of our national populace when we

856
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: get back, because I think he's governing conservatively right if

857
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: we continue, a former Speaker of the House new get

858
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: Rich is with us. All right, So what advice would

859
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 1: you give the president for tonight, because I think this

860
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 1: is going to be a pretty amazing story to tell

861
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 1: him one year, pretty big turnaround. Well, look, I think

862
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: first of all that he should be talking as president

863
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 1: of the whole country, not as the leader of one faction.

864
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,680
Speaker 1: I think he should be talking as a winner, emphasizing

865
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,560
Speaker 1: the remarkable story of what's been happening with the economy,

866
00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:36,360
Speaker 1: uh and why and explaining why it's happening. Is that

867
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that one of the arguments we

868
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 1: have to win this year is that in fact Trump

869
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,400
Speaker 1: is um works and liberalism fails, and we have to

870
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: we have to get that across to people so that

871
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,719
Speaker 1: they understand this is not an accident, but it's the

872
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: victory of sound policy after a long period of the

873
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 1: country doing dumb things. Right so I think that's what.

874
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,320
Speaker 1: But the other thing I say is I hope that

875
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: he will stay focused from now through Sunday on driving

876
00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:07,839
Speaker 1: the messages of tonight. Do not do not take the bait.

877
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: The elite media is going to be desperate to get

878
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,719
Speaker 1: him off message and get him off track and get

879
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 1: him into some kind of junk. And he's got very

880
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: powerful messages he's going to deliver at night, and he

881
00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: ought to find every way for his cabinet and his

882
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: White House team and himself to stay on that and

883
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 1: drive it through the Sunday talk shows and and just

884
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:29,640
Speaker 1: learn how to dominate the elite media and not let

885
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,279
Speaker 1: them set the agenda. I think that's all important. But

886
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:36,000
Speaker 1: I also think that there is a great story to tell,

887
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:39,360
Speaker 1: and I think, uh, I just hope the Republicans are

888
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 1: smart enough to follow through on healthcare and to build

889
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 1: the wall. Those are the two big things I think

890
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 1: for a team. Well Ill, first of all, I think

891
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: they're going to continue moving in that direction. He's made

892
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:53,400
Speaker 1: that clear. I think they also have to spend a

893
00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,400
Speaker 1: lot of their time this year driving home, uh, the

894
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 1: impact and the power of the combination of deregulation and

895
00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,239
Speaker 1: tax such I mean, the fact is, and you said this,

896
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,560
Speaker 1: uh the last segment, we have the lowest black unemployment

897
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 1: in many, many many years, maybe in history. Well, how

898
00:48:11,120 --> 00:48:15,919
Speaker 1: many African Americans understand that there's Donald Trump's policies. Well,

899
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,319
Speaker 1: and then I think, yeah, and I think that's going

900
00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 1: to make the difference. All Right, Mr speaker, We're glad

901
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,319
Speaker 1: you're back from Italy, and we'll see on Hannity coming

902
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 1: up this week. Thank you for being well. US quick

903
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 1: break right back. He was saying that essentially Republicans have

904
00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: cherry pit facts from the classified information that they were

905
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 1: given absolute to form a narrative that is in European

906
00:48:35,239 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: not correct. Uh, not not only not correct, but deeply misleading,

907
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:43,200
Speaker 1: intentionally misling, intentionally misleading, absolutely intentionally misleading. All you need

908
00:48:43,239 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 1: to understand is that the Republicans declared war today on

909
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: our national security, on classified information. I think we're seeing

910
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 1: a breakdown the democracy here. We've never had a situation

911
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: in which the Congress has moved into a criminal investigation,

912
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: uh and begun and turn it into a political circus.

913
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: And that's exactly what's going on here. It looks a

914
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 1: lot like Watergate. It also has fringes of the Salem

915
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:09,320
Speaker 1: witch trials. H and you throw in the McCarthy hearings,

916
00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: and I think we've got one UH crisis about to

917
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:17,080
Speaker 1: happen here because it's not even true. It's not even true.

918
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:20,080
Speaker 1: They have made up a memo that isn't even true,

919
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 1: and they're lying to the amertage. So what are you

920
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: gonna do about it? We are seeing a breakdown, and

921
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: I think we may look back on tonight as as

922
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: the Monday night slaughter of the Administration of Justice in

923
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:35,120
Speaker 1: our institutions of justice in the United States, a real

924
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: slaughter by an obstructive, irresponsible partisan gang UH in the

925
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:46,720
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. I can't discuss the contents of the memo,

926
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: but I can say it's worse than a nothing burger.

927
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:54,600
Speaker 1: It's like having nothing mustard. There is factual inaccuracies. That's misleading.

928
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,880
Speaker 1: This is a cynical game that Paul Ryan and Kevin

929
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:02,160
Speaker 1: McCarthy and Devin moon As and anybody that empowers Devin

930
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,879
Speaker 1: noon Az is playing. They pushed to release a memo

931
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:09,840
Speaker 1: that is distorted by what's in it and what's distorted

932
00:50:09,920 --> 00:50:12,920
Speaker 1: by what is not in it, and they know that

933
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 1: will misinform the public. But They also know this, MAKA.

934
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 1: They know that the facts that would actually allow Americans

935
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:23,800
Speaker 1: to know the entire truth about what happened are so

936
00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: highly classified that guess what, the public will never get

937
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: to see those details, and for good reason, because we

938
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 1: don't want classified information out. So Ryan and noon Az

939
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 1: want to release I have truth that turns out to

940
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: be a whole lie. I mean, I've read it, and

941
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: I've read the the the underlying source material. It is

942
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,520
Speaker 1: profoundly misleading. If you read it and you weren't concerned

943
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: about things, you don't have further questions about the FISA process.

944
00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 1: All right, now you have Democrats reacting to the memo

945
00:50:55,239 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: that I would assume now that the House Intel Committee

946
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,919
Speaker 1: is voted out of committee, the White House has five

947
00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: days to make a decision about whether or not they

948
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: will be releasing it. The White House has said they're

949
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:08,279
Speaker 1: going to be deliberative and in the process and go

950
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 1: through think through all the ramifications of this. Joining us

951
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:14,719
Speaker 1: now is Congressman Louis Gohmert of Texas as we come

952
00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: to you from Washington, d C. Tonight, and Congressman Matt

953
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: Gates will be joining us in a minute from Florida, Louis.

954
00:51:21,160 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 1: You on day one, the first day was available, you

955
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: took the walk and you went over and you signed

956
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:27,880
Speaker 1: your life away and you said you would never tell

957
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: anybody what's in the memo. But h I applaud Devin Nouness,

958
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 1: and I applaud the people in the House Intel Committee,

959
00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: because I do think, based on the reports of people

960
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:41,120
Speaker 1: that I have talked to, this is gonna shock the

961
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 1: conscience and soul of the country and that we're literally

962
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 1: facing a crisis of whether or not our government is

963
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: using the powerful tools of intelligence to spy on Americans

964
00:51:50,800 --> 00:51:53,440
Speaker 1: without a warrant. Think there's any there. I don't think

965
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:57,440
Speaker 1: there's any question they've been using the tools just by

966
00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:01,600
Speaker 1: on Americans. Deets are given. It's whether or not they

967
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 1: were justified in doing so. And as you talked about

968
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: more and more articulately than most anybody, this is a

969
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 1: constitutional crisis when one party tries to prevent another from

970
00:52:19,239 --> 00:52:23,960
Speaker 1: UH claiming the actual win of an election, first to

971
00:52:24,080 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 1: prevent them from winning the election, and then the insurance

972
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: policy if they do, to try to take them out

973
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:34,200
Speaker 1: of office. And UH, the last thing we needed was

974
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:38,920
Speaker 1: Mueller to be appointed and and I tell you, Sean,

975
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 1: in our Judiciary committee today we had a hearing on

976
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:47,759
Speaker 1: a bill involving construction my ability, and the Democrats kept

977
00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:52,800
Speaker 1: going back and back again to owe how outrageous the

978
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:57,080
Speaker 1: Republicans conduct was. But I told them, and I'm telling

979
00:52:57,120 --> 00:53:00,560
Speaker 1: you you know, I have gone back and looked at

980
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,000
Speaker 1: some of the Water Day hearings, and you know, it

981
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: makes me proud the way Republicans stood up, even to

982
00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:11,560
Speaker 1: other Republicans. They didn't try to cover from Nixon or

983
00:53:11,719 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 1: any wrongdoing. They stood up and said this is wrong

984
00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:19,000
Speaker 1: if we're gonna keep this little democratic republic. And I'm

985
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 1: still asking where are the Democrats that will stand up

986
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 1: and say this is a threat to our democracy. The

987
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 1: the d J, the the Intelligence Agency, they were weaponized

988
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: and used against another party. They combined the d o

989
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 1: J and the Intel with the Democratic Party opposition and

990
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,879
Speaker 1: tried to prevent a guy from getting elected and then

991
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 1: tried to take him out after elected. This is as

992
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 1: dangerous as it gets. We've moved into third world areas here.

993
00:53:56,200 --> 00:54:00,879
Speaker 1: When one party uses the power of the government as

994
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:06,319
Speaker 1: their political tool, you have been and I remember when

995
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:09,080
Speaker 1: they were talking about Robert Muller, Oh he's a man

996
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 1: of the best integrity, and then I think that we

997
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,600
Speaker 1: have we have done the deepest dive of anybody in

998
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: the media in terms of looking at the team that

999
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: he's appointed. I mean, you know, people like Andrew Weissman

1000
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: that you know, because of his brutal prosecutorial tactics cost

1001
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 1: tens of thousands of people at Anderson Accounty to lose

1002
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: their job. And then yet he's overturned in the Supreme

1003
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: Court nine zero or the Merrill executives. You may not

1004
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: like people that work for Merrill Lynch, but they don't

1005
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 1: deserve to go to jail when it's overturned by the

1006
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,879
Speaker 1: Fifth U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals. But you've talked

1007
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 1: about Mueller himself and have said you do not believe

1008
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: he is the person of objectivity and integrity that others

1009
00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: have been claiming. I know he is not if you

1010
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:55,200
Speaker 1: look at the things you did. The policy he put

1011
00:54:55,280 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: in place got rid of thousands and thousands of years

1012
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 1: of experience of FBI agents. He did so much damage there.

1013
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 1: He purged the training material so that our FBI agents

1014
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 1: would not know the proper questions to ask to find

1015
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:19,280
Speaker 1: radical of islamis He got rid of some training material

1016
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:23,200
Speaker 1: programs that would teach people. I mean, I was going

1017
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: after him over the Boston bombing that should never have happened.

1018
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,040
Speaker 1: Those people should be alive and had their limbs if

1019
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: Mueller had not played been playing patty cake with the Islamis. Yeah,

1020
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,240
Speaker 1: they went out questions on it, but because of Robert Mueller,

1021
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: they didn't know what to ask. He prevented them from

1022
00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,239
Speaker 1: knowing what to ask and how to find the radical Islamis.

1023
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 1: This man has done so much damage. And then he

1024
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 1: looked at the two guys he went after for sending anthrax.

1025
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:59,520
Speaker 1: They were given an FBI profile that since they knew

1026
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: that Radical Islam was was experimenting with weaponizing hand tracks.

1027
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:10,200
Speaker 1: He pushed that aside and said, no, it's probably a veteran,

1028
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,760
Speaker 1: some conservative that hates the country. They destroyed a man's

1029
00:56:14,840 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: life for which they ended up paying six million dollars

1030
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:22,120
Speaker 1: for having the wrong guy. Even Bush was begging Muller book,

1031
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 1: are you sure there's just no evidence? He said, I'm

1032
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 1: a hundred percent sure. Well he was a percent wrong.

1033
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: Look at what happened to Ted Stevens under Muller biggest

1034
00:56:31,640 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: case he had, and what happened. They invented a case.

1035
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 1: People should have gone to prison for inventing a case

1036
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:44,960
Speaker 1: and keeping Stevens from having his own defensive materials so

1037
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: that he could have been found out guilty. And what

1038
00:56:47,160 --> 00:56:50,880
Speaker 1: happened when the FBI agent blew the whistle on this

1039
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:57,080
Speaker 1: prosecutorial misconduct disinvented case, Well, they got rid of him

1040
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 1: and the person that was the most devious and that

1041
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 1: she promotes, and she goes on and keeps working. This

1042
00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 1: is let me get now, let me go back to

1043
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 1: the memo. Congressman Matt Caates is joining us late where

1044
00:57:13,239 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 1: there's no excuse for being late, and and that will

1045
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 1: impact your final grade on the show. Um, But in

1046
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 1: all seriousness, now that we are going to I assume

1047
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: we're going to see the memo, I've got to believe

1048
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: that after the White House has a chance to look

1049
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,840
Speaker 1: at this, and they've said they want to be deliberative,

1050
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:31,439
Speaker 1: and they don't they want to give this some thought

1051
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: in some time, but they tend to air on the

1052
00:57:34,160 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 1: side of being transparent with the American people, which I

1053
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 1: think is the right decision. What are the American people

1054
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: going to conclude, Matt Gates, You've seen it. I believe

1055
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:48,680
Speaker 1: the American people will demand reforms to the surveillance processing,

1056
00:57:48,960 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 1: and I think that there's going to be an acute

1057
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: awareness about the role of our intelligence community, particularly as

1058
00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: it relates to political parties and uh in any sort

1059
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: of crossover influence or bias. I think they'll be caused

1060
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:05,200
Speaker 1: for broad reform in those areas, and I think that

1061
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: those should be bipartisan showing. I mean, why in the

1062
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: world Democrats would be fighting against transparency, fighting against the

1063
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,680
Speaker 1: information we need to know what our government is doing

1064
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:19,320
Speaker 1: is beyond me. This is an opportunity for a bipartisan

1065
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: moment to step forward and say we don't want these

1066
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: things that are laid on the memos to happen in

1067
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: our country going forward, no matter which political party is

1068
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 1: in power. And Sean, the reason I was late, if

1069
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:34,640
Speaker 1: there's any excuse for tardiness, I was reading the Democrat

1070
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 1: memo that largely is a press release. It is not

1071
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:41,640
Speaker 1: a statement of facts of the case. By the way,

1072
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 1: as somebody that that read it, an unnamed source told

1073
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,040
Speaker 1: me today that like an eighth grader could have written

1074
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,520
Speaker 1: this thing and it gave no information whatsoever, and it

1075
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 1: was just a lame attempt to smear people well the

1076
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 1: other dearner, good thing for the country. And when we

1077
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,920
Speaker 1: release both memos, and by the way, I think we

1078
00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 1: should actually release oh yeah, as a matter of fact,

1079
00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 1: I agree. Yeah. No Republicans are going to stand in

1080
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,240
Speaker 1: the way of the release of the Democrat memos so

1081
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,160
Speaker 1: long as no sources and methods are disclosed in it.

1082
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,960
Speaker 1: But I think that what's important is that there are

1083
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:21,200
Speaker 1: facts stated that can be verified, and there are misstatements

1084
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,160
Speaker 1: of fact that can also be verified. So the release

1085
00:59:24,200 --> 00:59:26,520
Speaker 1: of these memos won't be the end all be all.

1086
00:59:26,720 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 1: I think it will launch Humston to a productive discussion

1087
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: about what happened, what was presented to courts, how was

1088
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 1: information validated, and is that the type of system that

1089
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,720
Speaker 1: we want occurring in secret in this country going forward?

1090
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,200
Speaker 1: And again, Sean, I'm hopeful that this CHRISTI presents an

1091
00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: opportunity for bipartisanship. Nothing from the Democrats has shown to

1092
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Speaker 1: date that that's possible. And frankly, if I was President Trump,

1093
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 1: I'd walk right into the State of the Union, walk

1094
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: up to speak of Ryan's desk, and hand him I

1095
00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,920
Speaker 1: just spent to release the memo immediately. Let's get the

1096
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:01,360
Speaker 1: process started, all right, we gotta take a break. Will

1097
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: continue more with Matt Gates, Congressman from Florida, Louis gohmert

1098
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 1: our friend from Texas, all both members of the Freedom Caucus,

1099
01:00:08,920 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: some of the few people we can trust in d C.

1100
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,320
Speaker 1: We're in our nation's capital tonight, Hannity immediately after the

1101
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 1: State of the Union with the President will obviously have

1102
01:00:16,800 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: reaction to that, and when the White House might son

1103
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,320
Speaker 1: sign off on the House Intel Uh, and their willingness

1104
01:00:23,360 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: now to release the memo to the public. Congressman Matt

1105
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,520
Speaker 1: Gates of Florida, Congressman Louie Gomert of the Great State

1106
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,800
Speaker 1: of Texas. Uh, Louie Gomert. Last year, you were kind

1107
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: enough to let me sit in the gallery and watch

1108
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:41,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump address a joint session of Congress, and it

1109
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: was the thrill of a lifetime. You also allowed me

1110
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 1: to be at Obama's last State of the Union address.

1111
01:00:46,120 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: The reason I can't be there this year is because

1112
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: I'm actually picking up the coverage as soon as it's over,

1113
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:55,920
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't make it to the cameras in time. Yeah. Well,

1114
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:59,360
Speaker 1: you've shown you can have the you can take the

1115
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: good time and the bad times by those two speeches,

1116
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:08,160
Speaker 1: A you're apart so uh. But look, I keep thinking

1117
01:01:08,720 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: at some point there's going to be a Democrat that

1118
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,400
Speaker 1: ends up and says, you know what, this is a

1119
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:18,840
Speaker 1: threat to the Democratic republic. We've been handed We have

1120
01:01:19,080 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: got to quit playing politics. They did weaponize the d

1121
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 1: o J, they did weaponize our intelligence assets, and it

1122
01:01:27,560 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 1: is time to hold these people accountable. And that person

1123
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: will be a national treasure, a national hero for decades

1124
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: to come. The danger is if somebody doesn't step up,

1125
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:47,640
Speaker 1: then they divide the country irreparably, and we're not probably

1126
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:49,960
Speaker 1: going to be around him forty or fifty years to

1127
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: look back. We can't play We can't let that happen.

1128
01:01:53,880 --> 01:01:58,280
Speaker 1: Matt Gates, that's right. I'm assuming once the American people

1129
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: become fully aware of all the abuses that have taken

1130
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:04,440
Speaker 1: place at the top levels of the FBI and the

1131
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,439
Speaker 1: d o J, the changes are going to take place.

1132
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,080
Speaker 1: I have no doubt the changes are already taking place. Sean,

1133
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I I don't think it's a coincidence that

1134
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:17,760
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe, days after getting testimony before the Judiciary Committee,

1135
01:02:17,960 --> 01:02:21,960
Speaker 1: announced that he would ultimately retire and then immediately after

1136
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:26,280
Speaker 1: Christopher Ray read this memo, Andrew McCabe decided that he

1137
01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: would leave the FBI immediately. And I don't know that

1138
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 1: we'll see him at any point again, and so I

1139
01:02:31,440 --> 01:02:34,480
Speaker 1: I think that there are going to be personnel changes.

1140
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 1: I hope there are policy changes. Frankly, I think the

1141
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: president is gonna learn a lot about what's been happening

1142
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: during his administration when full facts are revealed. And I

1143
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: think that the time parent for this memo is going

1144
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: to be important to evaluate. This does not take us

1145
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: all the way up to the present time. This memo

1146
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 1: ans is a finite period of time, and it raises

1147
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot of questions about the activities that occurred before

1148
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:03,320
Speaker 1: and after the time period of the memo, and it's

1149
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: why it's so important. Sean, do we get the full

1150
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: volume of text messages between Pierre Strock and Lisa Page,

1151
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:14,520
Speaker 1: because well, there, I don't think. I think release them immediately.

1152
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,600
Speaker 1: Thank you both for all that you're doing here. We

1153
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: really appreciate it. When we come back new information, Sarah

1154
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 1: Carter investigative reporter Greg Jarrod will give us the legal

1155
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: side of all this, more of our preview of the

1156
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,840
Speaker 1: president and the State of the Union tonight, Hannity on

1157
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 1: immediately thereafter, and we'll continue from our nation's capital. The

1158
01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 1: highway is littered with those who tried and failed to

1159
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: take down Trump and got kicked to the curve. Today's

1160
01:03:41,080 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 1: road rast victim former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. McCabe's

1161
01:03:45,400 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 1: wife received seven earn thousand dollars and clinical contributions from

1162
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: one of Clinton's closest personal friends in Terry mccollu. And

1163
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:54,680
Speaker 1: it's been wishing Andy a happy early retirements. This is

1164
01:03:54,760 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Do you feel like you know

1165
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:05,959
Speaker 1: significant new facts that have been placed onto the record

1166
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 1: of your investigation, even if they're not public yet, that

1167
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,040
Speaker 1: we didn't know six months ago. I believe I've seen,

1168
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: particularly in the document area, extraordinarily important new documents that

1169
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: I had not seen six months ago. Now, the veracity

1170
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,280
Speaker 1: or truthfulness of those documents or something we're trying to

1171
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,640
Speaker 1: either corroborate or not, I think there are Remember, a

1172
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 1: whole lot of the original allegations, for example, in the

1173
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 1: so called Steel Memo, are still setting out there. And

1174
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: in my mind, one of the most amazing things is

1175
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:43,920
Speaker 1: whether Mr Trumper's campaign cocluded or not. The fact that

1176
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,920
Speaker 1: there is this explosive dossier that's been in the public

1177
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,680
Speaker 1: realm for a year plus, and whether you know enormal

1178
01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:54,240
Speaker 1: scrutiny from the press or for that matter, you know

1179
01:04:54,520 --> 01:04:57,400
Speaker 1: work of the American government, that so little of that

1180
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: dossier has either been fully proven or conversely disproven, that's

1181
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,720
Speaker 1: pretty amazing because as long as that sits out there,

1182
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: there's going to be a cloud that hangs over this administration.

1183
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 1: We are looking at the possibility that the president of

1184
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: the United States and those around him during an election

1185
01:05:14,520 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: campaign colluded with a hostile foreign power to undermine the

1186
01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: basis of our democracy. Donald Trump is afraid a political

1187
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: hurricane is out there, and see for him. We'll call

1188
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: it Hurricane Vladimer, if you will. The whole Russian thing.

1189
01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 1: This is evidence of willingness to commit collusion. There's outright treason.

1190
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, there is no question that what he is

1191
01:05:37,440 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 1: doing is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. This

1192
01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:43,240
Speaker 1: cloud about collusion with Russia will hang over him no

1193
01:05:43,320 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 1: matter where he stands. It certainly feels like we're in

1194
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,440
Speaker 1: the opening stages of a devastating political chapter in American history.

1195
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Tom Friedman said, the election hacking is at the caliber

1196
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:57,120
Speaker 1: of a pearl harbor or a nine eleven to agree

1197
01:05:57,160 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: with that. I completely agree with that. Donald Trump. Now

1198
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: since at the threshold of impeachment, you told the Washington

1199
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Post last week that quote, there's a smell of treason

1200
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: in the air when it comes to this investigation. A

1201
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,480
Speaker 1: lot of people are free to use the t word treason,

1202
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:16,960
Speaker 1: but in the end, that's what people are investigating. There's

1203
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 1: any day to be watching, and it's today. Russia, Russia, Russia.

1204
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 1: A lot going on, all right, as we continue where

1205
01:06:24,320 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 1: the swamp where in our nation's capital, Shawn are toll

1206
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,040
Speaker 1: free telephone number? You want to be a part of

1207
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the program. Yes, In a little less than four hours

1208
01:06:32,680 --> 01:06:35,600
Speaker 1: from right now, the President Trump will give his first

1209
01:06:35,880 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: Stated the Union address and will a full coverage immediately thereafter.

1210
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 1: President usually goes an hour half forty five somewhere in there,

1211
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 1: and we'll be coming on right then on the Fox

1212
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,880
Speaker 1: News channel. Also be covering our big story that we

1213
01:06:49,080 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 1: have been following, and it is a bombshell, and that

1214
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: is the House Intel Committee has in fact voted out

1215
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 1: the memo that we believe is going to show widespread

1216
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 1: finds a use, which is huge. The White House has

1217
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,000
Speaker 1: said to me that they're going to be deliberate, deliberative,

1218
01:07:06,200 --> 01:07:09,160
Speaker 1: They're gonna be sober, and they're gonna really take their

1219
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 1: time and go over it and not rush. They want

1220
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: to make sure that there will be nothing in the

1221
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,439
Speaker 1: memo that might in some way compromise national security. Joining

1222
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:21,840
Speaker 1: us now with reaction to it, we have Greg Jared,

1223
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 1: Fox News Legal analyst and Sarah Carter, investigative reporter, Fox

1224
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:29,440
Speaker 1: News contributor. Welcome both of you to the program. Uh,

1225
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 1: you broke a lot of news yesterday, Sarah, let's go

1226
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 1: back to that and uh and talk about the legality

1227
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:38,680
Speaker 1: of all those with Greg Jarrett. Yes. So I've been,

1228
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,520
Speaker 1: of course, you know, we've been looking at the reasons

1229
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: why Andy McCabe may have left earlier than was expected.

1230
01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:47,920
Speaker 1: He was supposed to retire actually in March, that was

1231
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:51,080
Speaker 1: announced in December. What we know is that FBI Director

1232
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:55,240
Speaker 1: Ray went to view the FIFA memo on Sunday this

1233
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,439
Speaker 1: past Sunday, and then Monday morning, h McCabe was out.

1234
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: So the deputy director than immediately was I was told

1235
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 1: by sources asked to resign earlier than March and he

1236
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 1: left UM. It's interesting, Sean director. Former FBI director Comy

1237
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: tweeted out today about McCabe and said, McCabe held his

1238
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 1: head up high. All those small people, quote unquote, you know,

1239
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:25,760
Speaker 1: we're trying to take him down, but but this is

1240
01:08:25,880 --> 01:08:29,360
Speaker 1: no small subject. This is about extensive fise abuse. And

1241
01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: according to sources that I've spoken with, and remember these

1242
01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: are just allegations so far, we're still trying to verify

1243
01:08:36,360 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 1: all of these pieces that the i G as well

1244
01:08:39,720 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 1: as others, have information that whistleblowers have gone to the

1245
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:49,559
Speaker 1: i G and reported that McCabe actually asked FBI agents

1246
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 1: to change their three oh to witness interview forms. By

1247
01:08:52,880 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: the way, but that would be obstruction of justice by

1248
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:59,479
Speaker 1: any definition, because the three oh two interview forms, that's

1249
01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: a form interview that the FBI gives to people that

1250
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: they're investigating or witnesses that they're talking to. Correct, because

1251
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,839
Speaker 1: those are the For example, they go and they interview

1252
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 1: someone as they did with UM former National Security Advisor

1253
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 1: Michael Flynn, and they would sit down do an interview

1254
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: with him, and then they would go back and fill

1255
01:09:18,920 --> 01:09:21,720
Speaker 1: out these reports. They're called three O two forms. And

1256
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure Greg has a lot of information on the

1257
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 1: legality of these things, but they filled them out. And

1258
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 1: according to the sources that I've spoken with, the allegation

1259
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,600
Speaker 1: is is that McCabe inferenced or made some suggestions to

1260
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: changing the three O two, which whistleblowers then reported to

1261
01:09:39,080 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: the i G. And that would be very significant because

1262
01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:44,599
Speaker 1: that would, I believe, and I'm not a legal expert here,

1263
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,320
Speaker 1: I'll let Greg talk about that be some type of

1264
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,680
Speaker 1: obstruction in an investigation. Yeah, Greg, let's talk about the

1265
01:09:51,800 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 1: legality of what we're talking about here. Um. And I

1266
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,080
Speaker 1: actually think the White House is smart. But I mean,

1267
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,400
Speaker 1: the President's first dated the Union addresses coming his vote

1268
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 1: came out of committee yesterday somewhere around six thirty seven

1269
01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern. The President has five days to go over

1270
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the memo that was put out by the House Intel Committee,

1271
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:12,679
Speaker 1: and then from there he will make a decision, saying

1272
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 1: that he wants to be as transparent as possible. Um.

1273
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:20,160
Speaker 1: But let's talk about specifically what Sarah's mentioning here. Yeah,

1274
01:10:20,200 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 1: the three or two forms. Um, if those were altered,

1275
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: that substruction of justice under the obstruction Statute. Uh, you

1276
01:10:29,160 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: have to be able to prove that it was a

1277
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,040
Speaker 1: corrupt act. Well, there are only five kinds of obstruct

1278
01:10:34,560 --> 01:10:38,479
Speaker 1: corrupt acts, a lie, a threat of bribe, hiding evidence,

1279
01:10:38,760 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 1: or and this is the most important one, UH, destroying

1280
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 1: or altering documents. So if three O two's were altered

1281
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: to misrepresent the truth, that substruction of justice quite clearly.

1282
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: And if this until memo identifies that, um, people who

1283
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:59,240
Speaker 1: did it and people who conspired to do it or

1284
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: were a complicit into it should be charged with obstruction

1285
01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:05,519
Speaker 1: of justice. But beyond that, I think it's what we're

1286
01:11:05,560 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 1: going to find out is that people use the dossier

1287
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: UH to spy knowing that it was a dubious, if

1288
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 1: not false document on its face. That is an abusive power.

1289
01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: That too, is a violation of a federal felony statute.

1290
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,519
Speaker 1: When we go, you know, back to the beginning here,

1291
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 1: because I think I think we really have to go

1292
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,280
Speaker 1: to the beginning, and I Sarah's talking about something as

1293
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: it involves Comey's statement. Comey seems to be losing it

1294
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:38,720
Speaker 1: to me, like he is sitting there as a sanctimoniously

1295
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:42,640
Speaker 1: on his high horse, as if he's got some superiority

1296
01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: feeling over Donald Trump, where I would argue that maybe

1297
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:50,639
Speaker 1: James Comey ought to be shutting up and and talking

1298
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 1: to his lawyers a little more. Um, Greg, do you

1299
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: know what I mean? Isn't there a vulnerabilities for him

1300
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: at this point if he put the fix in as

1301
01:11:57,960 --> 01:12:01,200
Speaker 1: relates to the Hillary email investigate, and if he leaked

1302
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: information that that was proprietary and classified as it relates

1303
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: to in government materials to a friend to leak to

1304
01:12:08,520 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 1: create a special counsel his We also totally coordinated his

1305
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 1: testimony with Robert Muller, who was then appointed special counsel.

1306
01:12:17,360 --> 01:12:21,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's got some legal potential vulnerabilities himself,

1307
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:25,200
Speaker 1: doesn't he. Oh, he's an absolute legal jeopardy. And the

1308
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: more he talks about or sends Twitter messages in a

1309
01:12:30,920 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: sort of holier than now vain the worst thing makes

1310
01:12:35,280 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 1: it for himself. Uh. You know, the people who enforced

1311
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: the laws are human beings. Student they don't like to

1312
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: see that sort of thing coming from somebody who is

1313
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,120
Speaker 1: uh and could be and should be a subject or

1314
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 1: target of a criminal investigation. It's it's the equivalent of taunting,

1315
01:12:52,439 --> 01:12:55,799
Speaker 1: and it's unwise to do Comey, who is a veteran

1316
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: lawyer should know better, but he can't help himself, never has.

1317
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,479
Speaker 1: You know, he's the guy who loves to pretend he's

1318
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,960
Speaker 1: a boy scout, when in fact he's just the opposite

1319
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: of that. I think his actions but betray him in

1320
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: leaking evidence UM and including classified documents UH and obstructing

1321
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 1: justice in clearing Hillary Clinton in the face of overwhelming

1322
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: evidence of guilt. One of the things, Sarah you are

1323
01:13:23,160 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 1: reporting last night too, that this probably is just the

1324
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: first that will fall in what is a widespread scandal.

1325
01:13:30,560 --> 01:13:33,680
Speaker 1: Again not rank and file, but the upper echelons of

1326
01:13:33,960 --> 01:13:36,640
Speaker 1: d o J and FBI. In other words, that you

1327
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,600
Speaker 1: know there are other big names that are vulnerable. I I,

1328
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:41,799
Speaker 1: for the life of me, don't understand how Peter Struck

1329
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 1: at least the page even have a job at this point. Yes,

1330
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,519
Speaker 1: and you're right, this is just the beginning, according to

1331
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:49,680
Speaker 1: a number of people that I've spoken with, And and

1332
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: what's really interesting now, I think that there's a sense

1333
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: of relief among the rank and file FBI agents and

1334
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 1: people within the bureau because they actually see something being done.

1335
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 1: I know that when McCabe was asked to leave when

1336
01:14:05,680 --> 01:14:10,120
Speaker 1: he resigned on Monday. Uh, there was a real widespread

1337
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 1: sense of relief. I had some phone calls on Monday,

1338
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: and people felt more emboldened. They said, something's actually happening

1339
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: here within the bureau. We're gonna be able to clean

1340
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,919
Speaker 1: out the seventh floor. Director Rays moving in the right direction.

1341
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:28,040
Speaker 1: Apparently there were people calling from all all the field offices.

1342
01:14:28,200 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 1: By the way, we can't forget that James Baker and

1343
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 1: Rebecky are already gone also, that's right. I was just

1344
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: gonna say that, Sean, So we you know, James Baker

1345
01:14:36,520 --> 01:14:40,720
Speaker 1: is no longer general counsel there. Rebecki has also resigned.

1346
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: So we see three big top people within the FBI

1347
01:14:44,560 --> 01:14:47,040
Speaker 1: now gone, and I think we're gonna see a lot more.

1348
01:14:47,160 --> 01:14:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't think it's over for Peter Struck and Lisa Page.

1349
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,640
Speaker 1: I you know, I think that it's coming down the

1350
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: pike for them as well. And I see I don't

1351
01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 1: see them there much longer either, according to what I've

1352
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: been hearing in the report words that I've been hearing.

1353
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 1: But I also think we have to look at what

1354
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:07,080
Speaker 1: you know, Greg brought up as far as Director Comy.

1355
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: I think we need to go back and remember and

1356
01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:11,760
Speaker 1: you said, Sean, go back to the beginning, and that's

1357
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: a good point. Remember it was Director Comy leaked those

1358
01:15:15,320 --> 01:15:19,080
Speaker 1: memos to his close friend, the professor, Professor Richmond. He

1359
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 1: leaked those memos, some of which were classified, in order

1360
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:26,160
Speaker 1: to seek a special counsel. He was very vocal about that.

1361
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what really pushed over and and

1362
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:33,600
Speaker 1: and and moved towards the special counsel and the investigation

1363
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: into the president. So it's concerning that he continually keeps

1364
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,840
Speaker 1: tweeting about this because he's really kind about the center

1365
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:44,040
Speaker 1: of this controversy. We'll take a break and we'll come

1366
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 1: back and continue with our good friends Greg Jarrett and

1367
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:50,960
Speaker 1: Sarah carter E one shawnas a toll free telephone number

Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. The President will be given his

1369
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:57,120

01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 1: President's all done. Hope you'll join us tonight. We'll have

1373
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 1: the latest, obviously on the developments involving McCabe and what

1374
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: else we might discover. When the memo was released, that's

1375
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,840
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight right after the State of the Union will

1376
01:16:14,840 --> 01:16:19,560
Speaker 1: continue from d C. As we continued, Greg Jarrett is

1377
01:16:19,680 --> 01:16:22,719
Speaker 1: with US Fox News legal analyst Sarah Carter, investigative reporter

1378
01:16:22,800 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 1: Fox News contributor as the Sean Hannity Show as we

1379
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:29,160
Speaker 1: continue from Washington, d C stated the Union tonight. You know,

1380
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 1: I was talking to Sarah as we were going to

1381
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: the break, Greg, and we were talking about, all right,

1382
01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: let's go back to the origins of all of this.

1383
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,639
Speaker 1: The origins are really simple. You've got Hillary Clinton breaks laws,

1384
01:16:40,800 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: fundamental laws and puts an email server up that we

1385
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:48,280
Speaker 1: now know was hacked by multiple foreign intelligence agencies. Um.

1386
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: And then she covers it up by acid washing and

1387
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 1: bleach bid and the leading and breaking up devices with hammers.

1388
01:16:55,760 --> 01:17:01,000
Speaker 1: And then Comey struck page potentially Andrew McCabe and Loretta

1389
01:17:01,080 --> 01:17:03,519
Speaker 1: Lynch all put the fix in so she continues to

1390
01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: be the Democratic nominee. Others I believe would have been

1391
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: charged with crimes. Then she pays for the Russian dossier

1392
01:17:09,560 --> 01:17:12,599
Speaker 1: to influence the general election. She did rob poor Bernie

1393
01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:16,000
Speaker 1: Sanders of any chance he had because that primary was

1394
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: rigged anyway. Not only is the dossier designed to manipulate

1395
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the American people with Russian lies. Then it's used to

1396
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: get a FISA warrant. Let's go through the legal aspects

1397
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:26,280
Speaker 1: of all of that. I know that's a lot to

1398
01:17:26,320 --> 01:17:30,639
Speaker 1: talk about, but that's you know where we are. Well.

1399
01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,800
Speaker 1: In terms of her emails, Hillary Clinton appears to have

1400
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:40,519
Speaker 1: committed a violation of two different provisions of the Espionage Act,

1401
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: intentionally mishandling classified documents and grossly negligent handling. She also

1402
01:17:48,680 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: is violating another felony statute, knowingly removing classified documents, another

1403
01:17:55,560 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: provision theft of government documents, yet another felony statute concealing

1404
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 1: removing her destroying government documents, another statute instruction of justice

1405
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:09,639
Speaker 1: in destroying them, and finally making a material of false

1406
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: statement to Congress. So what do we have there? Seven

1407
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 1: or eight different violations of offer which she should have

1408
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:18,960
Speaker 1: I've been in donty by a grand jury, but was

1409
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 1: saved by Peter Struck and Lisa Page, James Comby McCabe,

1410
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 1: Robicky Baker, the whole gang. But then you have to

1411
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: factor in why did she create a secret server in

1412
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: the basement of her home. My theory has always been

1413
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,200
Speaker 1: it was not convenience, but concealment. She wanted to conceal

1414
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: her foundations pay to play. I think it was that.

1415
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,680
Speaker 1: And she also wanted she didn't want government oversight. She

1416
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 1: didn't want which, by the way, is part of the government.

1417
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to let this go. Um. I wish

1418
01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:51,439
Speaker 1: I had more time for all of you, and I

1419
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: really appreciate you being with us. You guys have been phenomenal.

1420
01:18:54,280 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 1: We'll have you back tomorrow as we prepare to hopefully

1421
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,200
Speaker 1: see the memo. By either late tomorrow or Thursday, we

1422
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: I'm pretty competent dot memo will be released. The highway

1423
01:19:04,640 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 1: is littered with those who tried and failed to take

1424
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 1: down Trump and got kicked to the curve. Today's road

1425
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: dress victim, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. McCabe's wife,

1426
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 1: received seven hund thousand dollars and clinical contributions from one

1427
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 1: of the Clinton's closest personal friends in Terry mccollinch and

1428
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 1: INSTI wishing Andy a happy early retirements. This is the

1429
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Hi, class you Weathers d Shaw and

1430
01:19:33,280 --> 01:19:35,360
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

1431
01:19:35,680 --> 01:19:37,960
Speaker 1: all right, UM, let me play so with the State

1432
01:19:38,040 --> 01:19:40,280
Speaker 1: of Union. Here is here in Washington, d C. Tonight

1433
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:43,599
Speaker 1: the president's first State of the Union address. So Campus

1434
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:47,960
Speaker 1: Reform goes out and starts getting reaction to the President

1435
01:19:48,040 --> 01:19:51,600
Speaker 1: stated the Union address, which hasn't even happened yet. You

1436
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: can't even make this up as people give answers to

1437
01:19:55,640 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 1: something an event that never happened. It'll happen in just

1438
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:01,880
Speaker 1: a few hour from now. Listen, I'm cabat Fillis with

1439
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,479
Speaker 1: Campus Reform. Today. We're at n y U getting students

1440
01:20:04,520 --> 01:20:07,559
Speaker 1: opinions on President Trump's State of the Union address. Except

1441
01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: that speech won't happen for another seven days. But what

1442
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: will they say when we asked them what they thought

1443
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,759
Speaker 1: of it? We'll find out. Well, we'll be getting people's

1444
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: reactions today to the State of the Union. Last night,

1445
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,799
Speaker 1: some people were saying that it was the most racist

1446
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: State of the Union that's ever happened. What was your

1447
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 1: reaction to everything that was said? I didn't watch it

1448
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:25,880
Speaker 1: because I couldn't bring myself to watch it. Quite racist

1449
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: at the very least, um, if not up there with

1450
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: most racistm Wow, it's almost already quickly climbing the scale.

1451
01:20:33,760 --> 01:20:36,360
Speaker 1: Some of the people said today that, uh, they thought

1452
01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: his immigration stands and that the outlined last night was

1453
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: especially hateful. Uh, what do you think of it? It's

1454
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,720
Speaker 1: something that I wouldn't have expected to happen in like

1455
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,680
Speaker 1: our lifetime. It's offensive, it is crazy, but I'm not

1456
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: shocked by by what he's done in the past. So

1457
01:20:55,120 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: pretty I believe when I'm hearing about his his rough

1458
01:21:01,400 --> 01:21:04,040
Speaker 1: nature and um, the hate that he probably said. He

1459
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: told the Democrats the wall got ten feet higher because

1460
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:09,880
Speaker 1: they didn't stand up and give him applause at one point.

1461
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 1: What do you think of all that? It's the behavior

1462
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:17,799
Speaker 1: of someone who refuses to accept accountability for their failures.

1463
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: The way he acts. You shouldn't be acting like that

1464
01:21:19,960 --> 01:21:21,760
Speaker 1: if you're the leader in the country, regardless of a

1465
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 1: party here and so that that frustrates me a lot.

1466
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:27,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't surprise me that with his State

1467
01:21:27,800 --> 01:21:31,680
Speaker 1: of the Union address, hopefully everything that he's outlined can

1468
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: be overturned by the public opinion. There was there anything,

1469
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,439
Speaker 1: one thing in particular that you saw people most upset about. Um,

1470
01:21:38,600 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: probably with an immigration going on, with the whole thing

1471
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,720
Speaker 1: of him trying to build the wall. One of the

1472
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,120
Speaker 1: craziest moments when he started a build the Wall chant

1473
01:21:45,200 --> 01:21:48,400
Speaker 1: with all the Republicans that were there. Um, people on

1474
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: social media were stuck using him of basically using the

1475
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,880
Speaker 1: State of the Union as a campaign events. Yeah, that's

1476
01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:56,680
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. I think it's absolutely crazy fact that, um,

1477
01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,800
Speaker 1: he started a chant. He's big on those. But what's

1478
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: the actually, I think it reveals that he has the

1479
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 1: temperament of a three year old. People a lot of times, Uh,

1480
01:22:06,960 --> 01:22:08,880
Speaker 1: they're trying to say, don't listen to what he's saying,

1481
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: and they just want to shut it down just because

1482
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: as Trump's saying it. Do you think they have any

1483
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 1: ground there? I don't think so. I think there are

1484
01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:20,200
Speaker 1: enough progressive and intellectual people that really analyze what he's saying.

1485
01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 1: Do you think he's gonna fall through with the things

1486
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:26,080
Speaker 1: that he promised last night? I don't know. We'll see.

1487
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:29,439
Speaker 1: He said he's gonna become president. He became president, all right,

1488
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,639
Speaker 1: Then we got Nancy Pelosio, you know he I guess

1489
01:22:31,720 --> 01:22:33,599
Speaker 1: we really can't blame these people when you got Nancy

1490
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 1: Pelosi and people like Chris Matthews and idiots like John

1491
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:43,040
Speaker 1: Heilman over at MSNBC, Conspiracy TV. Just listen to these idiots.

1492
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:47,360
Speaker 1: This is about fact, it's about evidence, about data. It's

1493
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 1: not about making up a false memo based on a

1494
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,720
Speaker 1: false premise that the Chairman hasn't even read and then

1495
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:56,639
Speaker 1: to put it out there give you that he has.

1496
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 1: If he hasn't read it, that's a problem we'll take.

1497
01:22:58,760 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: We'll take the happy you. How can you decide, if

1498
01:23:01,400 --> 01:23:03,760
Speaker 1: you haven't read it, that it should be revealed to

1499
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:05,680
Speaker 1: the American fear point? But what I'm saying is this,

1500
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:09,799
Speaker 1: are you saying without revealing anything that's confidential classic Obviously

1501
01:23:09,920 --> 01:23:12,000
Speaker 1: I can't do that. I get it. But you're saying

1502
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: that if the American people see this memo and they

1503
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: read it and they think about it, that they could

1504
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:19,760
Speaker 1: not reasonably conclude that there was any problem with what

1505
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:23,040
Speaker 1: happened during the election. Of course not. They are they

1506
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:25,839
Speaker 1: so ancess to release it because it's not even true.

1507
01:23:26,520 --> 01:23:28,960
Speaker 1: It's not even true. They have made up a memo

1508
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: that isn't even true, and they're lying to the America.

1509
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:33,840
Speaker 1: So what are you going to do about it? Well,

1510
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:36,760
Speaker 1: we have put forth a memo, which we reluctantly did,

1511
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,519
Speaker 1: but said, don't put this in unless it is reviewed

1512
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: and redacted. That won't be out when there doesn't That

1513
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 1: tell you something. The Republicans say, we want the American

1514
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:48,400
Speaker 1: people to see our memo, but we're voting against showing

1515
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,880
Speaker 1: the American people the Democratic memo. It looks to me

1516
01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,840
Speaker 1: like a perge. I mean, today McCabe gets pushed out

1517
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: as deputy directed the FBI, and now the presidents of

1518
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: the war path after the guilt that pulled up thanks

1519
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 1: to Chairman Newness of your committee to dig up evidence

1520
01:24:02,600 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 1: enough to support getting rid of Rod Rosenstein, the deputy

1521
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 1: head of the Attorney to the Justice Department. Why is

1522
01:24:09,200 --> 01:24:13,000
Speaker 1: he purging everybody that's involved with investigating him in the

1523
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Russian probe. Well, I have to imagine Chris that he's

1524
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 1: scared of what they're gonna find out. And you know,

1525
01:24:20,400 --> 01:24:23,240
Speaker 1: there were of course stories about him, his firing of

1526
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Comey and the reason he fired Comey. In fact, the

1527
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 1: President in an interview that suggested that he fired Comey

1528
01:24:28,439 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 1: because of the Russia investigation. Uh. And now the pressure

1529
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,840
Speaker 1: that was applied to Andrew McCabe and the result today

1530
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:39,680
Speaker 1: of him stepping down. I said earlier today that that

1531
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: Andrew McCabe should not be replaced with somebody who's just

1532
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:47,440
Speaker 1: a presidential stooge, and who's gonna help kill this investigation,

1533
01:24:47,840 --> 01:24:50,679
Speaker 1: because there are already plenty of people around here, quite honestly,

1534
01:24:51,040 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 1: who are just doing the bidding of the president over

1535
01:24:54,680 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 1: conducting a thorough and fair investigation. It looks like I'm

1536
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: and you're young, too young to have seen it, but

1537
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:05,200
Speaker 1: it looks like a slow motion Saturday night massacre. Senator.

1538
01:25:05,200 --> 01:25:06,560
Speaker 1: It's John Holman here. I want to ask you a

1539
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: question that under almost any other circumstances would be ridiculous

1540
01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 1: and absurd, but under these circumstances I think is actually warranted. Uh.

1541
01:25:13,040 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 1: Is it possible that the Republican chairman of the House

1542
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 1: Intel Committee has been compromised by the Russians? Is it

1543
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 1: possibly you actually have about Russian agents running the House

1544
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,840
Speaker 1: Intel Committee on the Republican side. I hope that's not

1545
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,040
Speaker 1: the case, and I certainly have no information to suggest

1546
01:25:27,680 --> 01:25:31,360
Speaker 1: that it is. I think this does this behavior speak

1547
01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:32,720
Speaker 1: of that, though? I mean I'm not the first person

1548
01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: who's raised this. He's behaving like someone who's been compromised.

1549
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:38,160
Speaker 1: And and there are people in the Intelligence Committee, in

1550
01:25:38,200 --> 01:25:41,360
Speaker 1: the intelligence community, and and others with great expertise in

1551
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 1: this area who look at him and say that guy

1552
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,559
Speaker 1: has been compromised. All right, let's get to our busy phones. Uh.

1553
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: Dan is in Michigan, will start with you, Dan, Hi,

1554
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: how are you welcome to the program? Sir? Yeah? How

1555
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:56,040
Speaker 1: you doing? Sehn? Uh? Hey? The other day, when you're

1556
01:25:56,080 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: putting all those clips of all these intelligence officials saying

1557
01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,040
Speaker 1: that they're they have never there is no evidence that

1558
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:09,160
Speaker 1: they have come across that Trump committed collusion, and you

1559
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:13,439
Speaker 1: put like five or six of them together, Well, well

1560
01:26:13,479 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: you got Diane Feinstein, You've got Clapper, you gott call me,

1561
01:26:16,200 --> 01:26:20,400
Speaker 1: You've got Mansion, you've got vaccine, waters and many others,

1562
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: and some upset it many times. So here's the point.

1563
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:26,920
Speaker 1: Sean has just stunned me for a minute. Throw the

1564
01:26:27,240 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: throw the dacier out the winner for a second. They

1565
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:34,639
Speaker 1: all said there was no evidence. Well, police don't start

1566
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:39,960
Speaker 1: an investigation of anybody unless there's evidence. So when they

1567
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:43,680
Speaker 1: all said there's no evidence, um, and then let's say, like, well,

1568
01:26:43,720 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 1: let's shoot forward to the Sessions. When they demanded Sessions

1569
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:51,720
Speaker 1: doing a point in the Independent Council, Sessions should have said, well,

1570
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: everyone says there's no evidence, what evidence do you have

1571
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:59,160
Speaker 1: for me before I decided to to, you know, a

1572
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: step back, and they would not have been able to

1573
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: produce any evidence to Sessions, and so Sessions would have

1574
01:27:06,080 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: should have said, then there's not going to be a

1575
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:12,040
Speaker 1: special counsel because there's no evidence of a crime. The

1576
01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: problem is Sessions. And and this is where I understand

1577
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 1: the President's frustration. In my opinion, just because he was

1578
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:24,400
Speaker 1: on the campaign, he needed not have recused himself from

1579
01:27:24,439 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: all of this. If Jeff Sessions didn't recuse himself, none

1580
01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: of this would have happened in the last year. Now.

1581
01:27:31,320 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: The fact is, if you have a year's worth of investigation,

1582
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,439
Speaker 1: you know, britt Hume said something last night. I actually

1583
01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 1: think we do need a special counsel to look into

1584
01:27:39,439 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 1: call me and Struck and McCabe and and Lisa Page

1585
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:46,560
Speaker 1: and Loretto Lynch and a whole bunch of them. I

1586
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: really do. And then look into, you know, the dossier issue,

1587
01:27:50,280 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: and then look into the Clinton email server investigation and

1588
01:27:53,080 --> 01:27:55,479
Speaker 1: the Clinton Foundation and Uranium one. There's so much to

1589
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 1: look into, and I don't know if if we have

1590
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: the resources or the activity in the deep state to

1591
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:03,880
Speaker 1: actually get it done, especially in light of recent events.

1592
01:28:03,920 --> 01:28:06,640
Speaker 1: And what we've learned here. But the reality is this,

1593
01:28:07,400 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 1: there's not one single slight bit of evidence that has

1594
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: come on as it relates to Trump Russia collusion and

1595
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:19,120
Speaker 1: his brit was warning. The problem with special counsels is

1596
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: they need to at some point justify their existence, and

1597
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,240
Speaker 1: that means they expand out from what their original mandate is.

1598
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:32,080
Speaker 1: Once Comey discovered there was no there there to quote

1599
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:35,680
Speaker 1: Peter Struck in his text message to Lisa Page, that

1600
01:28:35,840 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: should have been the end of it. But now it's okay,

1601
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 1: let's go after Paul Manafort ten years before he ever

1602
01:28:42,200 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: worked for Donald Trump and work he did in the Ukraine,

1603
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: and let's set poor General Flint up for perjury traffickause

1604
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 1: they had illegally surveiled, unmasked, and leaked raw intelligence on him,

1605
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 1: so they knew what he had said. And if he

1606
01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:58,160
Speaker 1: misremembered or lied, oh we got him online to the FBI.

1607
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:00,960
Speaker 1: And by the way, if it doesn't agree to plead guilty,

1608
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 1: we'll just go after his son. And it's it's horrible.

1609
01:29:04,560 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: The whole you can indict a ham Sandwich thing is true,

1610
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: it really is um, but there was no evidence. You're right,

1611
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,120
Speaker 1: and there is no evidence. Alright, my buddy, to Varus

1612
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 1: is in Greenville, he is in North Carolina. Uh, to Varus,

1613
01:29:18,080 --> 01:29:20,400
Speaker 1: how's it going, my friend? How's the business going now

1614
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:24,280
Speaker 1: that you're you're a graduate. You got your own business going,

1615
01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: You're making some serious money. You're getting married, you got

1616
01:29:28,120 --> 01:29:30,840
Speaker 1: a baby. You got it all going on now? Oh no,

1617
01:29:30,960 --> 01:29:35,519
Speaker 1: I mean my fourth year marriage? How can and blissful? Um?

1618
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 1: Uh Sean, Uh, the heavily father, my heavely father, heavily father,

1619
01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:42,599
Speaker 1: he blessed me. He told me to take a paper

1620
01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:46,120
Speaker 1: so I can be uh in my son's life a

1621
01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:48,840
Speaker 1: little more than I am now. Um, I had to.

1622
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 1: I had to take a back seat to the money, Sean,

1623
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: and I worked for the city now and um hauling

1624
01:29:54,400 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 1: uh heavy waste dipposal disposal units. But if you didn't

1625
01:29:59,720 --> 01:30:02,840
Speaker 1: get the my wife, but if you didn't go to school,

1626
01:30:02,880 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have been able to get that job. Right,

1627
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 1: you have to be CDEO certified. You have to have

1628
01:30:07,880 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: your CDEO. Life is to shine. Hey, the blessing that

1629
01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:13,240
Speaker 1: you gave to me, Hey, it's still it's still working

1630
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:16,160
Speaker 1: in my life. And I'm proud of you. By the way,

1631
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 1: I don't mind those decisions when people make a decision.

1632
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:21,280
Speaker 1: I'll be honest thought, I'm gonna be very blunt here.

1633
01:30:21,439 --> 01:30:23,760
Speaker 1: I think when my kids were younger, I worked way

1634
01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:26,679
Speaker 1: too much. Remember I was on the air every afternoon

1635
01:30:26,760 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 1: three to six. I was on nine to ten every night,

1636
01:30:30,640 --> 01:30:33,799
Speaker 1: and uh, I was with them a lot on weekends.

1637
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 1: You know, they were both athletes, so I did a

1638
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:37,960
Speaker 1: lot of traveling with them then. But then there were

1639
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: many weekends I was on the road. I mean, and

1640
01:30:41,120 --> 01:30:43,560
Speaker 1: I've I've actually apologized to both my kids from not

1641
01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: being as involved as I as I should have been,

1642
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:48,080
Speaker 1: I think at times, but I hadn't, you know. It's

1643
01:30:48,200 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: kind of it's it's six and one, half a dozen

1644
01:30:50,040 --> 01:30:53,000
Speaker 1: the others. I mean, everybody has to work, and then

1645
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 1: when I'm working and opportunities come, I gotta fight hard

1646
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: and work hard. That nobody gets it easy in life.

1647
01:30:59,400 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: And sometimes you can make adjustments and other times you can.

1648
01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,439
Speaker 1: I was working, Sean, I was working thirteen and fourteen

1649
01:31:05,439 --> 01:31:08,639
Speaker 1: hours a day home for like six and my son

1650
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,240
Speaker 1: is seven. He just turned seven. Your nephew just turned

1651
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 1: seven December. I just turned forty, and uh, I had

1652
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:18,200
Speaker 1: to take the benefits and the medical, the medical benefits,

1653
01:31:18,640 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 1: great working for the city, and just the thing just

1654
01:31:21,200 --> 01:31:22,800
Speaker 1: to look in his eyes. He look over and when

1655
01:31:22,840 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: he's on the basketball court he looks at me. I mean,

1656
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,240
Speaker 1: it's it's the field. I can't describe the feel it.

1657
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 1: It's undescribable when he can see me and his mother

1658
01:31:29,680 --> 01:31:33,040
Speaker 1: there and and you know, um, I just want to say,

1659
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 1: you know, people don't understand how I can listen to

1660
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: UH conservative talk radio. And they always asked me, how

1661
01:31:38,600 --> 01:31:40,960
Speaker 1: can you listen to that? I mean, number one, my

1662
01:31:41,080 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: attitude is different. I don't take anything personally. I don't

1663
01:31:44,120 --> 01:31:47,600
Speaker 1: take Donald Trump personally. I don't take conservatism personally. I

1664
01:31:47,640 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 1: don't None of this stuff affects me personally, you know

1665
01:31:50,560 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. So people out there hang on one second.

1666
01:31:54,920 --> 01:31:57,240
Speaker 1: So over the years, you and I developed a bit

1667
01:31:57,320 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: of a friendship, and Mr e Conservative, you know you

1668
01:32:01,920 --> 01:32:04,280
Speaker 1: I I threw out a challenge to you in your

1669
