27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: Washington Times that the President is standing by ready to

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: pull out of this horrific Obama deal with the Mullahs

29
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: and Iran sometime next month. Uh. Bob Corker said as

30
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: much today as well. And uh that's yeah. That's when

31
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: they loaded a hundred and fifty billion dollars in cash

32
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 1: and other currencies and multiple planes cargo planes and gave

33
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: it to the Mullahs of Iran with the dumbest, worst

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: deal in the history of mankind. Uh So that is

35
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: good news, although I doubt they'll be handing the money

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: back anytime soon at all. Um. I want to just

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: say a lot of what you're gonna hear in the

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: next two hours on this program. You will have heard

39
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: me talk about in many different ways shapes, matters and forms.

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: We have been so far ahead of not only the

41
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: mainstream media, but basically all these people that claim that

42
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: their journalists, all these people that's been spent over a year,

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: year and a half now Trump Russia collusion, and we

44
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: play our montage constantly no evidence, no heaven, no evan

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,359
Speaker 1: and no no even no evidence, no evidence. I don't

46
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: know what's worth that, or the you know, p tape

47
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,679
Speaker 1: montage we put together, or Anderson Cooper's creepy questions to

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 1: stormy montage together, or d nine times and one day

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 1: fake news CNN saying uh, the whole whole you know,

50
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: again and again and again. I have told you at

51
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: the beginning of this year that this was going to

52
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: be the year of the boomerang. Everything we've been telling

53
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 1: you is now become fact, and it's now everything that.

54
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: But we were just way ahead of everybody else and

55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: as a lag factor, and unfortunately it takes about a

56
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: year before people begin to catch up. So the fact

57
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,119
Speaker 1: that you're ahead of the curve um. I think it's

58
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: me doing my job to the best of my ability,

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 1: and I think it's vitally important if we're going to

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: remain a constitutional republic with equal justice under the law,

61
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: with equal application of our laws, and there has been

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 1: so much wrongdoing. Well, finally, now, Congress, they're very slow,

63
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: pathetically slow. The media is gonna resist doing their job

64
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: as always because they're nothing but an extension of all

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: things Clinton, all things Liberal, all things Democratic Party, and

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: frankly now even all things special. Counsel Robert Mueller, UM,

67
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: I start with, the House has now issued criminal referrals

68
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: for James Comey, for Andrew McCabe, for Loretta Lynch, for

69
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Peter Struck, and for Lisa Page and for Hillary Clinton.

70
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll give you a quick summary here, then we're gonna

71
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: get into all the details. Uh. In all of this,

72
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: two powerful letters have been sent out today. One was

73
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: sent out by Rhonda Santis and a group of other people,

74
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: and another one has been sent out by uh Trey

75
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: Gouty and and Mark Meadows of the Freedom Caucus. But anyway,

76
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: what is all has to do? They want and are

77
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: asking the Attorney General and the Department of Justice of

78
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 1: the United States to launch a full blown investigation into

79
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: the possible crimes that were committed by the former disgraced

80
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: FBI Director. I do agree with new King. Ridge will

81
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: join us later in the program. Comey is now physically

82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: shrinking with every interview, I mean literally racing from Stephanopolis

83
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: to Colbert to the view. You know what's next. Uh,

84
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just ridiculous, this this so called book tour.

85
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 1: Even liberals now hate him. Anyway, back to the point here,

86
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: and that's not all. Andrew McCabe, Loretta Lynch, Peter Struck,

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: Lisa Page, Hillary Clinton, They're all being referred to today

88
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: for criminal investigation as part of the same request to

89
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. Now the letter issued by Congressman Rhonda

90
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: Santis around noon today, eleven other members of the House

91
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: are requesting this probe and a few I'll give you

92
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: a few of the highlights. Dear Attorney General Sessions, Director Ray,

93
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: and Mr Huber, that's the guy from Salt Lake City.

94
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: We write to refer the following individuals for investigation of

95
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: potential violation of federal statutes, and in doing so, we

96
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: are especially mindful of the similar degrees of zealousness that

97
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: has marked the investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary

98
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: Clinton and the presidential campaign of Donald Trump, respectively, Because

99
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: we believe that those in positions of high authorities should

100
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: be treated the same as every other American. We want

101
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: to be sure that the potential violations of law outlined

102
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: below or vetted appropriately. I mean this, when there's a

103
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: criminal referral made, the Justice Department has to act. Now

104
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: they start with and I think we should start here

105
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 1: with the actual letter. You know, I should go over

106
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: the congressman to that have signed on to this. You've

107
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:30,239
Speaker 1: got Rhonda Santis, Andy Biggs, Dave Bratt, Jeff Duncan, Matt Gates,

108
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: Paul gozer Um, let me see Claudia Tenny of New York.

109
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: Uh Ted yo Oh was also a member, Andy Harris,

110
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: and I don't remember the other ones. And just off

111
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: the top of my head, they start with Comey. Comey

112
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: was on the View today. He hadn't heard the news,

113
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: and you know, people were giggling. Uh, this is what

114
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: I warned James Comey would likely happen to him. I said,

115
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: any lawyer that lets this guy write this book and

116
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: do this book tour is out of their mind. Even

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: though basically was a total rehash of the what three

118
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: times that he met with Donald Trump? And he just

119
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: tried to you know, build those up into something bigger

120
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 1: than they were. And then you know his his admission

121
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: that he still doesn't know the dossier, whether it's accurate

122
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: or not. It could be true, it could be true. Well,

123
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: that dossier was presented as the bulk of evidence to

124
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 1: acquire a FISA warrant against the American citizen, a Trump

125
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: campaign associate, in the weeks before an election, and they

126
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: presented information they never verified, never corroborated, a lot of

127
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: which has turned out to be false. And they never

128
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: told the judge in the original application the three subsequent

129
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: applications that in fact it was paid for by Hillary Clinton.

130
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: You don't do that in a court of law. And

131
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 1: they all let that happen, and he still doesn't know

132
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: if it's true. Anyway, back to the De Santis letter again.

133
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: This is sent to Jeff Sessions, John Huber, and Christopher

134
00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: Ray on July fiveteen. Comey made us aiment on the

135
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: investigation as Secretary Hillary Clinton's use of personal email system,

136
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: during which he stated, there is evidence that they were

137
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: extremely careless in the handling a very sensitive, highly classified information,

138
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: and we now know by the way that foreign entities

139
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: got a hold of it and hacked into it. He

140
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: went on to say, although there is evidence of potential

141
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 1: violation violations of the statutes regarding the handling or classified information,

142
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: our judgment is that no responsible prosecutor would bring such

143
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 1: a case. This was that infamous James Comey press conference. Incredibly,

144
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: this judgment appears to have been made prior to interviewing

145
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: Secretary Clinton and as many as seventeen key witnesses, including

146
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: Clinton's closest aids, and Comey's decision not to see charges

147
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 1: against Clinton's misconduct suggests improper investigative conduct potentially motivated by

148
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: a political agenda. Accordingly, we refer James Homey to the

149
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: Department of Justice for a violation of eighteen US Code

150
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 1: oh five and fifteen fifteen B. In addition to his

151
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: handling of the Clinton investigation, Comey engaged in questionable conduct

152
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: visa v. President Donald Trump. As reported by The New

153
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: York Times, Director Comey wrote a memorandum detailing alleged conversations

154
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: between himself and President Trump, creating a paper trail for

155
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: documenting what he perceived as the President's improper efforts to

156
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 1: influence a continuing investigation. The article reports that Comey created

157
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: similar memos, including some that are classified, about every phone

158
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: call in every meeting he had with the President, as

159
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: detailed in the January threeeen letter to the Deputy Attorney

160
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 1: General Rod Rosenstein from Honorable Senator Charles Grassley, Chairman of

161
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: the Senate Committee of the Judiciary UH, the staff reviewed

162
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: the memorandum created by the former direct Or Comey in

163
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: a sensitive compartment and information facility. Due to the classified

164
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: nature of the majority of the memos, and of the

165
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: seven memos, four ward marked secret or confidential levels now

166
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: at at a June US Select Committee on Intelligence. Here

167
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 1: in Comey stated, I asked a friend of mine to

168
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,439
Speaker 1: share the content of the memo with the reporter now

169
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: Chairman Grassley is a forementioned letter further notes the professor

170
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: this guy from Columbia School of Law, was a friend

171
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 1: of Comey, provided him with four of the seven memorandum

172
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: encouraging him to detail the memos to the press. In

173
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: light of the fact that four of the seven memos

174
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: were classified, it would appear that the former Depth Director

175
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: of the FBI, James Comey, leaked classified information when sharing

176
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: these memos with this professor Richmond. Accordingly, we refer James

177
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: Comey to the Department of Justice for poten show criminal

178
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: violations eighteen USC. St eighteen Usc seven nine three, eighteen

179
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: Usc A. Furthermore, this letter goes on this referral for

180
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: criminal investigation a criminal referral. Furthermore, President Trump has raised

181
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: concerns with the former director call me misleading Congress under

182
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: oath on his decision not to charge the former Secretary

183
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 1: of State Hillary Clinton regarding the use of a private

184
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: email server for official government communications. As reported in The

185
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: Washington Post May second, seventeen, Comy circulated a draft statement

186
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 1: of the decision. Comey sends an email to Andrew McCabe,

187
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: his deputy, James A. Baker, the FBI General Council, James Rebicki,

188
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: his chief of staff, with a subject heading of mid

189
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 1: year exam. This was an internal FBI code for the

190
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 1: Clinton investigations. The body of the email is redacted by

191
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: the FBI, but it appears to have contained a draft

192
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: of his statement on the conclusion of the Clinton case.

193
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: This is May. They hadn't interviewed her yet at that

194
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: point seventeen interviews with potential witnesses had not taken place,

195
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: including with Clinton and her chief of staff. According to

196
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: the Senate Judiciary Committee. Furthermore, in September hearing before the

197
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee, former Director Comey replied, quote after following

198
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: Representative Ratcliffe's questions on the timing of Comey's decision, Director,

199
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: did you make the decision not to recommend criminal charges

200
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:42,800
Speaker 1: relating to classified information before or after Hillary Clinton was

201
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: interviewed by the FBI on July two? And Finally, in

202
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: April letter to the Director, Grassly stated, there appears to

203
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: be material in consistencies between the description of the FBI's

204
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: relationship with Mr Steele that you, James Comey, did provide

205
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: in your briefing and information contained Injustice Department documents made

206
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: available to the committee only after the briefing. Accordingly, we

207
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: refer James Comey to the Department of Justice for potential

208
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: violations eighteen Usc. Six one, eighteen Usc one, one thousand

209
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: and one. Then it goes on to lay out the

210
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: case for Hillary, of which I am going to bring

211
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: up now. People have in the media attacked me so

212
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: viciously because we while they have been gone overboard without

213
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: any evidence on Trump Russia collusion, what have we been doing.

214
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: We've been pointing out real crimes, real collusion, real cover up,

215
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 1: a real fix being in a rigged investigation, real Russian

216
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 1: propaganda being manipulated and sold to the American people, lies

217
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: to fight as the judges, and much more. I'm gonna

218
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: explain more when we get back. This is a big deal,

219
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: all right, let me roll along Sean Hannity's show. So

220
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 1: if you're just joining us, a major development here today

221
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: as we now have a criminal referral letter for Comey, McCabe,

222
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Lynds drunk page and uh Hillary Clinton and others, um

223
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: and the letter is devastating from Rhonda Santis Levin, another congressman.

224
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Then we have in the second letter that we're gonna

225
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: get into as well. So I just told you the

226
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,160
Speaker 1: case that he laid out in his letter to about

227
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: James Comey, and I listen. I warned James come he

228
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: hasn't right to remain silent. I'd suggest don't write the book,

229
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: don't let yourself be put I knew this was gonna

230
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: happen to James Comey. You don't have to be a

231
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: brain surgeon to figure this out. And now I would

232
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 1: guarantee you this means he has legal problems and he

233
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: shouldn't be getting a lawyer as quickly as possible. Then

234
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: it goes on to number two, Hillary Clinton, lawyer representing

235
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: the Clinton campaign. The d n C paid Washington firm

236
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: Fusion GPS to conduct research that led to the Steel dossier,

237
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: according to an October report in the Washington Post. Accordingly,

238
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: for disguising payments to Fusion Gps on mandatory disclosures to

239
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: the f e C, we were for Hillary Clinton to

240
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice for potential violation of the law

241
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 1: fifty two Usc. Three zero one to one fifty two Usc.

242
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: Three oh one zero one. Next, they bring up Loretta Lynch.

243
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: With regard to the former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, we

244
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 1: raised concerns regarding her decision to threaten with reprisal the

245
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: former FBI informant, this guy that we had the only

246
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: cable TV interview with who tried to come forward in

247
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: twos sixteen within site into the Uranium one deal. Remember

248
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: he was the FBI informant that was in their sixteen

249
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: years well thirty plus years as as an agent. Anyway, Accordingly,

250
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: we refer Lauretta Lynch to the Department of Justice from

251
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: potential violations meaning crimes eighteen USC. Fifteen O. Five and

252
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: eighteen USC. Fifteen fifteen B. And they then they lay

253
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 1: out the case against Andrew McCabe and then struck in

254
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: page and then it goes on from there. And then

255
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: we've got a second letter that was sent, a criminal

256
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: referral letter that was sent to the Attorney General. Today.

257
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: The question now is what will the Attorney General do.

258
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 1: He has an obligation now to investigate this fully and completely.

259
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 1: You must read to your children, and you must hug

260
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: your children, and you must love your children. Your success

261
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 1: as a family, our success as a society, depends not

262
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: on what happens in the White House, but on what

263
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: happens inside your house. We lost Barbara Bush yesterday. Um.

264
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, I got to know her, and I've known

265
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: the Bush family for a long time. Obviously, I've interviewed,

266
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: you know, President forty one forty three a number of times,

267
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:19,240
Speaker 1: and I've I've met her, I've been around her. Um,

268
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: let me just say one thing, and and maybe it's

269
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: it's so far worse than I think it ever was

270
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: during either of the Bush years. Um. But Barbara Bush

271
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: was somebody that just was always having a smile on

272
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 1: her face, always happy, very funny, very strong personally, and Uh,

273
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: she served her country and literally you know, four years,

274
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 1: well eight years as vice president with her, and and

275
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: being the second lady, you know what I mean, being

276
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: married to the vice president, the first lady when George

277
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: Herbert Walker Bush was president, being the mother of the

278
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 1: President George W. Bush. It's not easy being in the public.

279
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: It's not easy. I mean I could read you things

280
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: that I saw that are so despicable on Twitter, but

281
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go there. But anybody that serves

282
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: their country in that capacity for that period of time

283
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: and and has the good nature and humor that she has,

284
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: it's an incredible example to all of us. And I

285
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 1: know that the family UH is saddened by their loss.

286
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Our thoughts and prayers go out to them. It really

287
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: was an honor for me to get to know her.

288
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: I Um, she knew who I was, She watched the

289
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: show she was I remember. She Um just was a

290
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: very special woman with incredible qualities that that then strength

291
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 1: and a lot of people don't have UM. And we

292
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: just put her on our thoughts and prayers today. Alright,

293
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: as we continue now we have two reports out today

294
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,760
Speaker 1: and I know somebody wrote me, well, Hannah, this is

295
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: amazing because it sounds a lot like what you've been

296
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 1: telling us for a year, and it's it's is it

297
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: finally going to happen? Um, And I said, yeah, it's happening.

298
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: Now you have in the case of Rhonda Santis, well,

299
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: I think will be an excellent Florida governor. I hope

300
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: the people of Florida are smart to understand that this

301
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: this guy is one of the few people that really

302
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: believes in public service and part of the Freedom Caucus.

303
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 1: Of course, those are the guys that I trust most

304
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: in Congress. Then there's another letter from Gaudy and Mark

305
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 1: Meadows will get into their letter and it's a little

306
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: different different ways. And then we're gonna get analysis coming

307
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: up at the top of the next hour that you're

308
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: definitely not gonna want to miss. As we check in,

309
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: New Gingrich is going to join us among our guests,

310
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: but also be checking in with Sarah Carter and Congressman

311
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: to Santis will join us too. But anyway, so it's

312
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: a criminal referral for James Comey, for Andrew McCabe, for

313
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch first struck for Page and not least of

314
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: all Hillary Clinton in other words, this is a congressional

315
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: criminal referral for a criminal investigation with a list of

316
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: specific violations of the law being laid out to the

317
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: Attorney General of the United States and the Department of

318
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: Justice of the United States. And the letter was sent

319
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: to the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the FBI Director Ray Uh,

320
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: this guy that was appointed, Mr Hooper, that's out in

321
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake City. And it goes through every single

322
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:33,199
Speaker 1: example and this is everything and more that we have

323
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: been telling people has happened a lot of people. And

324
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, I was watching maybe it was Jim Jordan.

325
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: I saw a clip on from Jim Jordan. I guess

326
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: went on Conspiracy TV. Don't answer the question with Hillary Clinton.

327
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: And I'm thinking, well, it's applicable. And the reason it's

328
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,639
Speaker 1: so applicable is because when we don't have equal justice

329
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: under the law and the idea that we can have

330
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 1: an American citizen, whether they're running for prey and whether

331
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: there was a senator and first Lady or not, that

332
00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: they somehow think that they can circumvent congressional oversight and

333
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: put top secret, classified and in the top level of

334
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: security special access programming information on a server in a

335
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: mom and pop shop bathroom because they don't want Congress

336
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: to have any access to their emails. Well, that's a

337
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 1: violation of eighteen USC seven mishandling on classified information. There's

338
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: at nine percent chance at least five to six foreign

339
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: intelligence agencies hacked into that bathroom close a server with

340
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: the top secrets of the United States. That compromises sources

341
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: and methods. That is extraordinarily dangerous for people to get

342
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 1: that information. You know, people say, well, where did wiki

343
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,479
Speaker 1: leagues get it from? I interviewed Julian Osanji said, well,

344
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 1: it wasn't Russian, it wasn't a state, etcetera. Well, it

345
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: could have been anybody, which is the point, because it

346
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 1: was put in a mom and pop shop bathroom closet,

347
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,360
Speaker 1: and there are bad actors. I'm sure Putin is probably

348
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:08,439
Speaker 1: one of the people that hacked into it and has it.

349
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: You know, all the time talk about uh, well, well

350
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: Donald Trump may be compromised. Really, if if if Putin

351
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 1: had something on Trump, we would have known about it

352
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: by now. Because Putin is apoplectic over Trump and what

353
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: he did with Syria, and that's only one example, and

354
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 1: the sanctions he's put on Russia. So he's taken all

355
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: the actions that Obama would never take that Putin didn't

356
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,439
Speaker 1: want to have happened. And yet we haven't had the

357
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: smoking gun come out. But you have a hostile actor

358
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: putin a hostile regime Russia, you have the Chinese, you

359
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: have the North Korean, you have the Iranians. You know,

360
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: pick your poison. Where this all came from, I don't know,

361
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: but it's it's certainly she created the vulnerability. So it

362
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 1: goes through great detail about the FBI director, which I

363
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: just read in the last hour. We'll summarize it when

364
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: at the top of the next hour when we check

365
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,240
Speaker 1: in with with Congressman to Santis, and then we went

366
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 1: into Hillary Clinton herself, and then we just covereds uh

367
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,439
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch. The Attorney General. Now he goes into in

368
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: this letter, these congressmen go into in their criminal referral

369
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: the former acting director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, and

370
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: it goes on to say, with regard to the former

371
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: acting director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, is reported by

372
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 1: The New York Times. The Attorney General Jeff Sessions has

373
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,920
Speaker 1: said that during the internal Hillary Clinton investigation that Mr

374
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: McCabe lacked candor, including under oath, on multiple occasions. The

375
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,919
Speaker 1: report goes on to say that that is a fire

376
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 1: able offense, and Mr Session said that career a political

377
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: employees at the FBI and the Justice Department agreed that

378
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: McCabe should be fired. And Furthermore, the Department of Justice

379
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: Office of Inspector General recently released to February misconduct report quote.

380
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: It's called a report of investigation of certain allegations relating

381
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, confirming four instances

382
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: of McCabe's lack of candor, including three instant instances under oath,

383
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 1: as well as the conclusion that McCabe's decision to confirm

384
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 1: the existence of the Clinton Foundation investigation through an anonymously

385
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: sourced quote violated the FBI and d j's media policy

386
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 1: and constituted misconduct. Accordingly, we refer Andrew McCabe for potential

387
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 1: violations eighteen USC. One thousand and one, eighteen USC sixteen,

388
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,640
Speaker 1: eighteen USC fifteen O five. These are specific criminal referrals.

389
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: Now you gotta understand something here. This is the story

390
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:58,920
Speaker 1: that the media never ever wanted to be public. This

391
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: is where it sort of like the vetting of Obama years,

392
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: where here we are at the top of a tree,

393
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,679
Speaker 1: out on a limb and hanging by a twig, with

394
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: the rest of the media ignoring the glaring background and

395
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: associations of Barack Obama, Acorn, a Lynsky disciple, Frank Marshall Davis,

396
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: the Church of g D America, Reverend Wright Airs, and

397
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: Dorn former domestic terrorists starting as all of that they

398
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 1: never took a deep dive into. But yet they were

399
00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 1: critical of me for doing the job they should have

400
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 1: done if they cared about being quote journalists with a

401
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: capital J, like they compare, we do more journalism than

402
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: they in a week than these people do in five years.

403
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: They're pathetic and the same as with this. What we're

404
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: talking about is the biggest abuse of power ever to

405
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: investigation in the history of the country. And finally, now

406
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 1: Congress fed up that they have not appointed a second

407
00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: special count, so they are now making these criminal referrals

408
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: that means that action must be taken. You often hear

409
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: attorney generals, well, we didn't get a referral on now

410
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: they've got their referral. It continues the De Santa's letter

411
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 1: number five FBI agent Peter Struck, FBI Council Lisa Page

412
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: with regard to top counter intelligence FBI agent Peter Struck,

413
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: the guy that interviewed both Flynn and Hillary Clinton, and

414
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: senior FBI lawyer Andrew McCabe's lawyer Lisa Page. Remember the

415
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: the text messaging, we need an insurance plan. We raised

416
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: concern regarding their interference in the Hillary Clinton investigation regarding

417
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: her use of a personal email server. As the Wall

418
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 1: Street Journal reported January ten, following the Justice Department's second

419
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: release of text exchanges between Struck and Page, it goes

420
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: on to say, the latest tech show the FBI was

421
00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: also eliminated evidence that Mrs Clinton compromised high level communications. Now,

422
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 1: the report provides the following alarming specifics, among others, Mr

423
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: Struck text miss Page to tell her that, in fact,

424
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: senior officials had decided to water down the reference to

425
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:19,880
Speaker 1: President Obama to make it another senior government official. By

426
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 1: the time Mr Comey gave his public statement on July five,

427
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: both references to Obama and another senior government official had

428
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 1: totally disappeared. And accordingly, it goes on, we were for

429
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 1: Peter Struck and Lisa Page for potential violations of eighteen

430
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: USC OH five and fifteen B. Then it goes on

431
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,719
Speaker 1: number six. The Department of Justice and the FBI personnel

432
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: connected to the compilation of documents on alleged links between

433
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: Russia and then presidential candidate Donald Trump, known as the

434
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: Steele Dossier, including but not limited to the former FBI

435
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: Director James Comey, former acting Director FBI UH Andrew mcab

436
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,120
Speaker 1: forming acting Attorney General Sally Yates, and former acting Deputy

437
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 1: Attorney General Dana Gwente is her name, and with regard

438
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,800
Speaker 1: to the Steel Dossier, we raise concerns regarding the presentation

439
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: of false or unverified information to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance

440
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Court in connection with former Trump campaign aide. Carter Page

441
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 1: is warrant application to conduct surveillance through the Foreign Intelligence

442
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: Surveillance Act. As Devin Newness, the Chairman of the House

443
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: Intel Committee, states in the March first, eighteen letter to

444
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: the Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former and current do O,

445
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: J and FBI leadership have confirmed to the Committee that

446
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: unverified information from the Steel Dossier comprised an essential part

447
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: of the FISA application related to Carter Page. Accordingly, we

448
00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: refer to the d o J all d o J

449
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: FBI personnel responsible for signing the Carter page warrant application

450
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:12,320
Speaker 1: that contained unverified and or false information for possible violation

451
00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: of eighteen USC. Two for two, eighteen USC. fIF oh

452
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 1: five and eighteen Usc. fIF fifteen B. Thank you for

453
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,239
Speaker 1: your attention to these matters. And then RHND Santas will

454
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 1: join us at the top of the hour, and ten

455
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: other congressmen sign onto it. Then we have a letter

456
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: to Rod Rosenstein and also the Inspector General Horowitz, UH

457
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions, and Christopher Ray, the FBI Director. Now this

458
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 1: is from you know, dear Chairman Gaudy said, goes on

459
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 1: to say, anyway in their letter, because I don't have

460
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 1: enough time. It goes on to say. Documents produced to

461
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 1: the committee raised concerns that Director Comey potentially misled the

462
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,239
Speaker 1: public related to the level of coordination betwe in the

463
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Department of Justice and FBI and at least two occasions.

464
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: The first is July statement regarding the FBI's view that

465
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: there were no charges appropriate in the Clinton case. The

466
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 1: second the statement before the committee July seven. No coordination occurred.

467
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 1: For example, the text exchange between Struck and Page Struck,

468
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 1: Holy cow, New York Times breaking, uh will accept whatever

469
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: received a career prosecutors make no political input. And then

470
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: Struck says lynch timing not great, but wonder if that's

471
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 1: why the no coordination language was added? Wow, pretty revealing.

472
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: Paige says, no way, this is a purposeful leak, following

473
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,000
Speaker 1: the airplane snaff Foo meaning meeting Bill Clinton and the

474
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: tarmac and Phoenix. And then it goes on timing looks

475
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: like hell will appear choreographed all major news networks literally

476
00:30:55,400 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 1: leading with a g to accept FBI director's recommendation page. Yeah,

477
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: it's awful timing. Nothing we can do about it, Struck,

478
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 1: What I meant was that did the d o J

479
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: tell us yesterday that we're doing this? So the the

480
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: director added that language. Struck, Yep, I told Bill the

481
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: same thing. The laying just makes it worse. And yes,

482
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: I think we had some warning of it. I know

483
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: they sent some statements well that would appear to be

484
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: co ordination. By the way, there have been so many others.

485
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: This is not something that we did alone here, but

486
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,479
Speaker 1: there have been others that have worked so hard to

487
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: help get to this point where now the truth is

488
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: coming out in an investigation, UH is now forthcoming, and

489
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: that to me is the big deal. And when we

490
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: come back, Rhonda Santas, who sent this criminal referral letter

491
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 1: and Sarah Carter has done amazing work, join us next.

492
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: I have in front of me a letter that was

493
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: drafted by Levin House Republicans. They've sent this letter to

494
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI. They are requesting

495
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: a criminal investigation of you, Director Comey, as well as

496
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Andrew McCabe, FBI agents Peter Struck,

497
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: and FBI Council Lisa Page uh. And it appears that

498
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: they are alleging potential violations of the law regarding the

499
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 1: Clinton and Trump investigation. They're arguing that your decision not

500
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: to seek charges against Clinton for her use of a

501
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: private email server suggests an improper investigative conduct, potentially motivated

502
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,400
Speaker 1: by a political agenda. And they are also saying that

503
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: you lead to classify information. UH. And they refer to

504
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 1: the seven memos you wrote about your conversations with the president,

505
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: and I'm sorry, but I haven't read it. I don't

506
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: know what to make of it. Seems they've been saying

507
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 1: that stuff since the Clinton email investigation. A whole lot

508
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: of that's already being looked at by the Inspector General,

509
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: Department Justice, which is a very good thing. And I

510
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: don't have any other reactions. The accusations are not true.

511
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 1: I guess I should have said that first. But but

512
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 1: that's okay, alright, glad you with us our to Sean

513
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: Hannity's show right down, auto free telephone numbers eight one, Shawn,

514
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. Uh.

515
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 1: That was Andrew McCabe. And I guess people thinking it's funny,

516
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:28,400
Speaker 1: there's nothing funny. What about what I just read, which

517
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: is this letter from Congressman Ron De Santis UH to

518
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: the Attorney General Jeff Sessions UH to Christopher Ray, the

519
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: FBI Director, and the Honorable John Hoober of the United

520
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 1: States Attorney for the District of Utah. Has been brought

521
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: in by Sessions because these are criminal referrals against the

522
00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: FBI director himself, against Hillary Clinton, against let's see the

523
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Attorney general, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, against former Deputy

524
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: Director of the FBI Andrew mc cabe, FBI agents struck

525
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,440
Speaker 1: and page and it goes on from there. I read

526
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: the whole referral. Congressman Rhondda Santis joins us right now.

527
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: It's great to have him on the program's first interview

528
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 1: over this referral and also joining us. She's written an

529
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: extensive report on this today, Sarah Carter, Sarah a Carter

530
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: dot com investigative journalist, welcome both of you. Congressman Um

531
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: all of the things that you mentioned, and I read

532
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: it in its entirety on the air in the last hour,

533
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 1: and these criminal referrals, this is all real stuff here,

534
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: and the Attorney General, the FBI director now have an obligation,

535
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:43,239
Speaker 1: do they not. Well, Sean think about it. We know

536
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 1: Comy before the Congress said, when asked by one of

537
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 1: my colleagues, did you decide to exonerate Hillary before the interview?

538
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: And he said no, it was after. Well, then, what

539
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: happened since then is that we've gotten documents that showed

540
00:34:56,680 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: he drafted the exoneration memo two months before he interviewed

541
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,399
Speaker 1: her and and many other key witnesses. Chuck grass Lee

542
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: has written about the information that Comy has provided to

543
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:12,200
Speaker 1: his committee being inconsistent with the fact that they've discovered

544
00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: subsequent relating to the FBI's relationship with Christopher Steele, and

545
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: of course Comy was never forthright about the political sources

546
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: of the docier um. And then the memos. Grassley himself

547
00:35:25,160 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: found this seven memos, four had classified information, and Comy

548
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: leaked four of the seven. So that means at least

549
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: one of the memos had to have had classified information.

550
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: That was an intentional leak, that wasn't just a mistake. Um.

551
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 1: And so you know, at some point, Sean, if there's

552
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 1: anyone who even sneezes in Donald Trump's orbit, you know,

553
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: you have the whole Special Counsel co swooping in to

554
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: try to find whatever they can. But you have these

555
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,479
Speaker 1: instances and it's almost like nobody even cares to hold

556
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 1: some of the people in high authority accountable. And I

557
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 1: just want an equal zealousness applied to everybody, and we

558
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 1: don't see that now. And so hopefully this orients huber

559
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: Um and Sessions to some of the things we found

560
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 1: in the Congress over the last you know, six to

561
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,120
Speaker 1: eight months, and let them investigate and and see see

562
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: what they can come up with. You know, it's also

563
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,600
Speaker 1: why we oppose special counsels and why both parties actually

564
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: allowed the Independent Council statute to lapse. You know, we

565
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,360
Speaker 1: have an investigation supposedly about Russian collusion. Now it's about

566
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: Stormy Stormy Stormy in private conversations, Uh, and attorneys. It

567
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 1: is outrageous. UM. Anyway, Sarah, Um, this is very important.

568
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 1: How does this dovetail into the Inspector General report that

569
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,799
Speaker 1: we expect to come any day or week now as

570
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:46,800
Speaker 1: it relates to the investigation into Hillary, I think it

571
00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,319
Speaker 1: right into it. It moves right along with it. We

572
00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 1: have an It's an important letter because as UM Congressman

573
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:58,360
Speaker 1: Chances said, you know that you have this over zealousness.

574
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: This anything that happens with with President Trump or with

575
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 1: anybody in his campaign, all of a sudden becomes the

576
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: story of the decade. Even Stormy Daniels that. I mean,

577
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 1: it's incredible. But here you have insurmountable evidence, right that

578
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 1: all of this has occurred between former FBI Director James Comey.

579
00:37:17,400 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 1: We see what's happened with UM deputy director Andrew McCabe,

580
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe who was fired by the

581
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:28,880
Speaker 1: Inspector General, and we've seen his report and the reasons why. Uh.

582
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,200
Speaker 1: We know that he liked under Ross. We know that

583
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: he has been extraordinarily bias based on text messages between

584
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 1: his own employees. Um, there's still a number of questions remaining.

585
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: And I think that when Inspector General Horowitz his next

586
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 1: report comes out, which is expected in May, and it's

587
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 1: going to focus on the FBI is handling of the

588
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 1: investigation into the Clinton Foundation. We are going to see, um,

589
00:37:50,440 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: I mean into the Clinton email her use of a

590
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: private server to send emails were broken here and there's

591
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: nobody that's ever and that's eighteen USC and that's the

592
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:07,239
Speaker 1: mishandling and destruction of classified information. Even Comy is acknowledging it.

593
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 1: And then the second part of all of that is, okay,

594
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: I dare anyone to delete thirty three thousand subpoena emails

595
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: acid washer hard drive and then bust up your devices

596
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 1: and not get charged with obstruction of justice? Good luck?

597
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:22,640
Speaker 1: Can you imagine doing that, Shane? Could you imagine if

598
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 1: they same to your house to yeah, they're information, you

599
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: set it on fire and left it in the back.

600
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 1: You would go to jail. Oh. Another problem, though, Sean,

601
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,480
Speaker 1: is that they bleach bit the server. Those emails were

602
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 1: under Congressional subpoena. And it isn't even that anyone that

603
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,920
Speaker 1: nobody was ever charged with it, of course, and was

604
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,440
Speaker 1: ever charged, I don't even think the FBI even pursued

605
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: it as a potential obstruction. So here we have this

606
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: double standard where Comey is saying Donald Trump allegedly saying

607
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,320
Speaker 1: to him, I hope you can let Flynn go is

608
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: potential obstruction. But Bleach bidding a server that's under congressional

609
00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,720
Speaker 1: subpoena is no one even and considers looking into that.

610
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 1: That's just a double standard that I think is irreconcilable. Yeah,

611
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 1: I think it's all right. Let me go to this part.

612
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 1: And and you raised this as point six in your

613
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 1: letter that the Department of Justice, FBI personnel and he

614
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: connected with the compilation of documents alleged links between Russia

615
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: and then presidential candidate Donald Trump, known as the Steele dossier,

616
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: including and not limited to Comy uh, McCabe, uh, Sally

617
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 1: Yates uh, let's see uh and and others. You know,

618
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 1: this is what we know at this point. We know

619
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:40,360
Speaker 1: that the dossier was never corroborated. I think the biggest development,

620
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 1: and I said, it's a dumb idea for James Comey

621
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 1: a to write a book and be what lawyer would

622
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: let him do these interviews because he said to George Stephanopolis, Uh, well,

623
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: it might be true. It's possible. It's true about the

624
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,239
Speaker 1: you know, the Hooker story. The problem with that is

625
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: is that dossier which was put together by a foreign

626
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: national that used Russian and Russian government sources, much of

627
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,400
Speaker 1: which has been debunked, none of which has been proven.

628
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:10,960
Speaker 1: It was never verified or corroborated, and he and others

629
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 1: allowed that dossier to be presented in the original FISA

630
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:19,359
Speaker 1: application to spy on an American citizen a Trump campaign associate,

631
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 1: then three subsequent renewals. It was, according to the Grassly

632
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 1: Graham memo, the bulk of the information to obtain the

633
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: FISA warrant. And they never corroborated, they never verified, and

634
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:34,359
Speaker 1: they never told any of these FISA judges in these

635
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,680
Speaker 1: warrants that Hillary Boughton paid for it. Now, Congressman, you

636
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 1: tell me that sounds like a crime and purposely deceiving judges.

637
00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,439
Speaker 1: And think about too, what come he's saying. Now, he's saying, Look,

638
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: he's trying to de emphasize the dossi. He's like Look,

639
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't a dossie. It was Papadopolis. We got this

640
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: tip and so we started it. Then ask yourself if

641
00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: that's the case, If it was all Papadopoulos, which was

642
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,280
Speaker 1: sometime in the summer of why did they not review

643
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: Papadopolis until the following year They never brought him into

644
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 1: interview if that was such an important thing. Instead, it

645
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 1: was the dossier that was packaged up, all dressed up

646
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 1: as an intelligence document and put in front of the

647
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: fires of court. Now, in the letter, we mentioned Hillary

648
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 1: Clinton potentially violating a Federal Election Commission rules because when

649
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 1: she expended all this money for the dossier, she put

650
00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: it as to a payment to a law firm Perkins Koe.

651
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: There's no mention on the FECA that isn't That doesn't

652
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: sound like a campaign violation. The very thing they're accusing

653
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 1: the Michael kno doesn't sound So the question is if

654
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 1: if Cohen's is an FEC violation for paying a potential

655
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,200
Speaker 1: private settlement, then how is camouflaging this money? Because think

656
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 1: about it, Sehan, if they had written on their FEC

657
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: report ten million dollars for Fusion GPS and Christopher Steele,

658
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: the FBI would not have been able to then use

659
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 1: it as a quote intelligence document. I mean, it would

660
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: have been public knowledge that this thing was an opposition

661
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: research documents. So that FEC filing really did by camouflaging

662
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: the payment, it allowed FBI to continue with the fiction

663
00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,800
Speaker 1: that some type of major intelligence thing when it was

664
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: really just dressed up opposition research. Congressman de Santis, I

665
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: want to give you many thanks. The work you've done

666
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 1: here is critical, Sarah Carter, you two, and and guys

667
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:26,399
Speaker 1: like Greg Jarrett and and Tom Fitton and Sebastian Gorka,

668
00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,320
Speaker 1: like I'm not gonna remember John Solomon, all everybody that's contributed.

669
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,960
Speaker 1: It was March of last year when you said there

670
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: was a FISA warrant leading up to the election, and

671
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 1: you were right, and nobody in the media covered it.

672
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: As you've been right on a many of these stories.

673
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: This seems to be everything that. As I used the

674
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: analogy of uppeeling layers of an onion, it now seems

675
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: to have come full circle here, and that is that

676
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,320
Speaker 1: now we have the evidence, Now we know what happened,

677
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 1: and now it's just a matter of if the law

678
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:02,040
Speaker 1: will be applied equally to these people, Sarah, it sure,

679
00:43:02,080 --> 00:43:06,160
Speaker 1: it's Sean, and the American people are watching. Uh, They're

680
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 1: watching intensely, and Congress is doing everything to fight for

681
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 1: these documents and to ensure that justice has served equally.

682
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: I think what Congressman deciantists, Uh, you know, Chairman Nunia's

683
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: and others, trade Doudy, good lot. Everybody has been fighting

684
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 1: tooth and nail for these documents from uh, actually from

685
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 1: the d o J and the FBI, which are withholding

686
00:43:28,160 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: these documents from US. But I think that eventually that

687
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:34,280
Speaker 1: all the documentation will come forth. Think another big issue here, Sean,

688
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: and one that we need to really focus on, is

689
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:40,360
Speaker 1: this disinformation campaign. You know, it's amazing how many of

690
00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 1: these people say we should fear Russia and what Russia

691
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 1: did with their disinformation campaign. Well, it's you know, people

692
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:51,800
Speaker 1: like Comey and Brennan and Clapper and others who have

693
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,480
Speaker 1: taken a dossier filled with disinformation that they have not

694
00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: been able to verify and continuously hammered at the President

695
00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:02,439
Speaker 1: of the Aided States for the last fifteen months. If

696
00:44:02,480 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: anybody has a disinformation campaign, or if anybody is being

697
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 1: unwittingly used by the Russians, it's them, and that's something

698
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: that we should all be concerned about. Yeah, I think

699
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 1: we really should. All right, So, UM, I'll tell you what.

700
00:44:14,760 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: Why don't we take a break and we'll come back.

701
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: What we're gonna do on TV tonight. Sarah will join us,

702
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,799
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis will join us. We're actually gonna lay this

703
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: out and and put it up visually so you understand

704
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 1: just how profound this, uh, this letter is that he

705
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: is this criminal referral that he has laid out. There's

706
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: also another criminal referral by Mark Meadows and Trey Goudy

707
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: will have that information for you as well, which we've

708
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 1: been getting to. So Linda, you'll gotta kick out of

709
00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:44,839
Speaker 1: this before we get back to our guests. So the

710
00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,000
Speaker 1: Washington Post now wants to write the fiftie story about me?

711
00:44:48,360 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 1: And what is Hannity? Is he an opinion journalist? Is

712
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 1: he an advocacy? I'm a talk show host and a

713
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 1: talk show sometimes, Linda, do we do straight news interviews?

714
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,800
Speaker 1: Like we do all kinds of interviews a straight interview?

715
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes we break news on this program more we actually

716
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 1: break more news than the so called journalists. Um. Sometimes

717
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: I give my opinion in a monologue sometimes I let

718
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: people debate. Sometimes I debate people. It's under the banner

719
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: of a talk show host. Yes, at times I do

720
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: straight up, fair balanced, objective interviews, journalistic interviews. Maybe you

721
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: should ask WAPA what they are exactly. Acquiring minds want

722
00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 1: to know. All right, we continue with Sarah Carter and

723
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 1: Rhonda Santis. All right, what is the process? And have

724
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: you heard back, Congressman from Jeff Sessions or Chris Ray

725
00:45:32,600 --> 00:45:36,320
Speaker 1: or John Huber. We have not. We just sent it today.

726
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: I thought it was important who Huber is. He's not

727
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: a special counsel per se, but he is a criminal

728
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 1: prosecutor who would have access to a grand jury, and

729
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: that is who Sessions tap uh, and whether he is

730
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: authorized to proceed with cases or whether he's supposed to

731
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 1: be investigating and then reporting to Sessions. Whether cases should

732
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: go forward under a special counsel. That hasn't been made

733
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: clear here. But I just thought it was important to

734
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: flag all the things that we in the Congress have

735
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: found and obviously you've been discussing for for a long

736
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: time now, so that he can actually look and make

737
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 1: judgments about these things. I mean, clearly, there's a lot

738
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,799
Speaker 1: of problem problematic conduct here. Um. But he's got him

739
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: look to see if there's a case learn then decide

740
00:46:19,719 --> 00:46:22,279
Speaker 1: whether to go forward. But look, I think for us

741
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: to just hope that something that that people are going

742
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: to do the right thing, I think what we found is,

743
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, you've got to take action, You've got to

744
00:46:29,120 --> 00:46:32,040
Speaker 1: demonstrate leadership because it's not just going to happen by itself.

745
00:46:32,920 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: You know, you have a lot of contact, Sarah in

746
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice. What are they telling you? I look,

747
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:41,360
Speaker 1: this is this is uh, Like he said, this is

748
00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: the beginning. I'm waiting to hear it back from sources

749
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,440
Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice on this. What I am

750
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 1: hearing though, is with regard to Huber and his work.

751
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: I mean, remember he's been on this since the fall.

752
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: He has been looking into this. That's when he was

753
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 1: first appointed to start looking into some of the situations

754
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: that we're involving, the investigation into the Clinton server uh

755
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 1: email uh situation, as well as the FBI is handling

756
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:08,880
Speaker 1: of that as well as other issues that involved McCabe.

757
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 1: So at the same time, we have the Inspector General

758
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 1: getting ready to issue reports on on Hillary Clinton and

759
00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,160
Speaker 1: the handling of the FBI into that investigation as well

760
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:21,280
Speaker 1: as the FAI says a foreign intelligence Surveillance court issues.

761
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 1: We know Huber has been working as well, looking at

762
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,839
Speaker 1: all of the angles, and I have been told that

763
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: there will definitely be an indictment and that there have

764
00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:33,400
Speaker 1: been uh they've been looking at some of many people

765
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:35,920
Speaker 1: that we would consider criminal, yes of people that have

766
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 1: already been mentioned and people uh within this Rhonda Santa

767
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:43,239
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter, We're going to do a deep dive into

Speaker 1: out front tonight. Welcome to the lead. On Jake Tapper.

783
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: We begin with breaking news Golden Showers thing about Peep,

784
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 1: Golden showers thing, pe tape of prostitutes that Trump had

785
00:48:52,160 --> 00:48:54,360
Speaker 1: paid to urinate on each other and his bed in

786
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: Russian hotel suite. The Golden Showers thing, p on each

787
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:01,680
Speaker 1: other urinate in a hotel sweet. I see it differently. Look,

788
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: I thought we were going to talk about the Trans

789
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: Pacific Partnership t p P. Instead we talk about p P.

790
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,480
Speaker 1: I mean I can't believe this. You didn't. I had

791
00:49:10,520 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: to say that, Allison talk about the prostitutes, petates, golden showers,

792
00:49:14,560 --> 00:49:18,160
Speaker 1: the golden showers. Mr Trump and Russian prostitutes between him

793
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 1: and prostitutes in a luxury hotel, golden showers. There's no

794
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: way I would let people pee on each other around me,

795
00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: Golden showers, hookers. We're talking about prostitutes peeing in a

796
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: hotel room in Moscow. I don't know whether the current

797
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: president I had stayed was with prostitutes peeing on each

798
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,400
Speaker 1: other in Moscow. In two thousand, there's the FBI director

799
00:49:36,480 --> 00:49:39,080
Speaker 1: talking about prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow. This

800
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 1: is CNN most trust name. There are difference if the

801
00:49:44,239 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: President said, uh, House, do you think these countries are so?

802
00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:52,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has turned the old law Office into hope

803
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: Bowlers built this country a hundred and ten years ago.

804
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:58,399
Speaker 1: In addition to the presidential comments yesterday, a few more

805
00:49:58,840 --> 00:50:03,960
Speaker 1: whole countries, whole holul, whole whole country. Rich. Do you

806
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 1: have any example of any whole country that the president

807
00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:12,800
Speaker 1: referred to that is predominantly Caucasian, Polish, Coles, Pohlers. I

808
00:50:12,960 --> 00:50:28,560
Speaker 1: work for Bolder. I'm proud could be on time. All right,

809
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: there you have it. That is yes, your news networks

810
00:50:31,239 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: and in America, the fake news networks Hannity, Hannity, Hannity, PTAE,

811
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:41,240
Speaker 1: P tape, P tape, and the shul ull All Network,

812
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:45,399
Speaker 1: uh hundred nine times in a single day. You can't

813
00:50:45,480 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: make this up. And it is now what represents news

814
00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 1: media in the country today. Alright, anyway, twenty three now

815
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 1: until the top of the hour, and Kaylee mcinaneys with

816
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:58,920
Speaker 1: us our new book, of course, The New American Revolution,

817
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:02,320
Speaker 1: The Making of a Popular Movement. Jeffrey Lord, he wrote

818
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: the book What America Needs, The Case for Trump, And

819
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 1: welcome both of you back to the program. Jeff Lord,

820
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: I thought I heard giggling on the other side of

821
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: that line. I just I just want to say this

822
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: so that I don't feel left out. Okay, are you ready? Yeah,

823
00:51:16,360 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity's it is a little bit of an obsessive compulse.

824
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 1: You know What's the strangest thing. It doesn't matter that

825
00:51:24,239 --> 00:51:27,719
Speaker 1: I explained everything a thousand percent truthfully, it doesn't matter.

826
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,160
Speaker 1: They just does wild, reckless, insane speculation is so over

827
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: the top. I mean, and and then I think about Okay,

828
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,480
Speaker 1: that's like two days of coverage of me, and that's

829
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: what the president gets every single solitary day, and that's

830
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:45,359
Speaker 1: what's supposed to represent news today. Kayley, it's really incredible, Sean.

831
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:48,520
Speaker 1: I mean, look, let's be honest, CNN isn't a desperate

832
00:51:48,560 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: search for ratings. They're down from last year. None of

833
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:54,320
Speaker 1: their shows make it into the top twenty. Many of

834
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 1: Foxes do seven years near the top, always at the top.

835
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: I should say, you know, they need ratings, So how

836
00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:02,840
Speaker 1: did they do it by saying golden showers over and

837
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: over again? Not sure if they said that or Sean

838
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: Hannity Moore or that profane word, which I'm proud of

839
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 1: Fox for not saying on their airways. But it's a

840
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,640
Speaker 1: desperate search for ratings. If it's not eight on one panels,

841
00:52:13,800 --> 00:52:17,840
Speaker 1: it's gossipy, salacious headlines, and it's infuriating. It's infuriating to

842
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: the President's infuriating to half of the country that showed

843
00:52:21,200 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: up to support him. Yeah, and both of you have

844
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: had this unique experience, and I've watched both of you

845
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 1: going through it. You mentioned the eight to one panels.

846
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:32,960
Speaker 1: What you mean are eight Democrats to either one Republican

847
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: one conservative, either Kayleie if she was on, or Jeff

848
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,960
Speaker 1: Lord when you worked there, when you were on. Yeah,

849
00:52:38,080 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: they'll they'll do anything for ratings, except, of course, have

850
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 1: us back. Yeah, exactly. There there's some things they're just

851
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: not gonna stoop too. But you know, Sean, seriously, there's

852
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 1: something here that needs to be said. I've done something

853
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:54,600
Speaker 1: that hopefully we'll see print soon. Uh. This business with

854
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:59,360
Speaker 1: you and Michael Cohen Washington, you see and the media

855
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 1: built entirely on relationships. I mean, I lived there for

856
00:53:04,000 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: a long time. These people associate, they go to one

857
00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 1: another's homes for dinner, they do this, that and the

858
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: other thing. And let me just pick one example, Chuck

859
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: Todd from NBC, who came out the other day and

860
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 1: took a shot at you. Well, I've gone back and

861
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:23,040
Speaker 1: found a just one example of this, a February of

862
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,240
Speaker 1: interview he does with former Senator from Virginia Jim Webb.

863
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,480
Speaker 1: Pretty vanilla. There really wasn't much to talk about, but

864
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 1: yet he's on there to talk about his politics and

865
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: oh he's going to return to journalism. All this kind

866
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,759
Speaker 1: of thing. What was never said. I read the transcript

867
00:53:39,800 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 1: and I watched the videotape. Chuck Todd's wife was the

868
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:47,960
Speaker 1: former communications director for his senate campaign and was advising

869
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:50,800
Speaker 1: him in his presidential campaign. There was not a single

870
00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 1: solitary word about this, not only that she was a

871
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:59,319
Speaker 1: donor to Tim Kane, and when Chuck Todd interviews Tim Kane,

872
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 1: not word. Not only that NewsBusters reported and I dug

873
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: this up, reported that uh, she had made her firm,

874
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: had consulting firm, and made all kinds of money from

875
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: the Bernie Sanders campaign. On that same show with Jim

876
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 1: Webb separately, was Bernie Sanders not a word of it? Yeah, well,

877
00:54:18,239 --> 00:54:20,640
Speaker 1: the most unbelievably, and he was one of the most

878
00:54:20,680 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 1: sanctimonious people. And I I've said this on the air

879
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 1: a lot. I mean, these people they hang out with

880
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:28,200
Speaker 1: each other, they go to lunch with each other, they

881
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:30,200
Speaker 1: go to dinner with each other, they date each other,

882
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: they do all sorts of things with each other, and

883
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 1: it's always it's like a good old boys club. And

884
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:40,480
Speaker 1: the press and all of these congressional members, staffers, everybody,

885
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,120
Speaker 1: they're all like in this circle together. So many of

886
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: them are a part of it. And if you're not

887
00:54:44,480 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: part of the circle, you're the most hated person there.

888
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,239
Speaker 1: Uh and that is the dirty, untold truth. And yeah,

889
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of media people, as I pointed

890
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:53,520
Speaker 1: out yesterday we put up on our website, Hannity dot com,

891
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: they're not revealing their relationships with prominent liberal Democrats. They

892
00:54:58,560 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: never have, never do And I you know, all of us,

893
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 1: all three of us, are honest. And as much as

894
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,080
Speaker 1: we tell people, Okay, we're conservative, we like Donald Trump,

895
00:55:07,640 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: we want lower taxes, less regulation, and we want a

896
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 1: strong military and we want to build the wall. Um,

897
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: we're pretty transparent, Kayley, We are transparent. But you know,

898
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: let's be real. They're there are two standards here. You know,

899
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: if you're Sean Hannity, if you're a conservative, you have

900
00:55:22,520 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: to disclose every conversation you have ever had with anyone.

901
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:29,920
Speaker 1: If you are a democratic liberal journalist, who is you know,

902
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: really a lockstep liberal women disguising themselves as a neutral journalist,

903
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 1: you're not expected to do it. To do any of that,

904
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,360
Speaker 1: you can go to Hillary Clinton's off the record dinner

905
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 1: where John Podesta cooked the pasta with walnuts for members

906
00:55:41,960 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: of the New York Times in Washington Post and you

907
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:46,440
Speaker 1: don't have to disclose you were there. You can donate

908
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: to Hillary's campaign. We know that journalists combined donated about

909
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: three eighty two thousand to Hillary Clinton. You don't have

910
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,640
Speaker 1: to disclose if you donated to Hillary. You can silently

911
00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:59,680
Speaker 1: have these relationships, silently support liberal causes. You went through

912
00:55:59,719 --> 00:56:02,320
Speaker 1: any number of them yesterday yesterday on your show, and

913
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,960
Speaker 1: you don't have to disclose it. There's two standards in

914
00:56:05,000 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 1: this country. Conservatives are held to the stricter one. I'll

915
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 1: make a little prediction for you. You watch the White

916
00:56:11,320 --> 00:56:13,759
Speaker 1: House Correspondence dinner is coming up. I've been the last

917
00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 1: couple of years. Needless to say, my invitation seems to

918
00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: be lost in the mail this year. But the President

919
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 1: is going to be in Michigan, as he was here

920
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: in Pennsylvania last year for this dinner, and they're going

921
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: to make a big deal about free speech in the

922
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,279
Speaker 1: First Amendment. I'll bet you a name that is never

923
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:29,719
Speaker 1: going to be mentioned is Laura Ingram. I'll bet your

924
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,240
Speaker 1: name that's never going to be mentioned is Sean Hannity.

925
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:35,640
Speaker 1: I'll bet you they will never Hell will freeze over

926
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 1: before they will Hey talk about this subject, but be

927
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,839
Speaker 1: talk about people in the conservative media who have been

928
00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: targeted to be taken off the air. They're not going

929
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,480
Speaker 1: to do it. This is now an industry that is

930
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:52,399
Speaker 1: extremely well funded that you have people. I mean, it's

931
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:55,080
Speaker 1: it's hard to imagine that their entire job is to

932
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 1: monitor every word, every sentence, every phrase, every hour of

933
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:02,880
Speaker 1: any con servative that's on radio or television in the

934
00:57:02,960 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 1: hopes that they say one thing that is deemed politically

935
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,640
Speaker 1: incorrect or doesn't fit their worldview or narrative. And then

936
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 1: you know income the boycotts, which is nothing short but

937
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 1: an attempt by the left to silence opposition voices. It

938
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: is well funded, it is well orchestrated, and it is

939
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 1: used as a weapon to silence speech. And all of

940
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:26,520
Speaker 1: us have experienced it, including you, Jeff obviously, and Kaylee

941
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,640
Speaker 1: as well. No about it. I mean, look, Sean, these

942
00:57:29,720 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: people they care about the First Amendment. They scream it

943
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 1: from the rooftops. They say, how dare this president try

944
00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 1: to silence us? To hide no nobility of this country

945
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 1: the journalists. But if you are conservative, it is not

946
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: the same. They will try to silence you, and it

947
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:47,840
Speaker 1: makes them insanely jealous, Sean. When you are consistently the

948
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 1: number one showing cable news. It makes them so jealous

949
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: when they try to take down Laura Ingram and her

950
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: ratings skyrocket in response. It makes them insanely jealous. They

951
00:57:57,160 --> 00:58:00,040
Speaker 1: cannot tolerate tolerated, They cannot stomach it, they can not

952
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: understand it. You know, I couldn't be any more clear either,

953
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: you know, if if what I said was not true,

954
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 1: and it is true, uh that Michael Cohen never represented

955
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: me in any case or matter that I didn't. He

956
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 1: never got a retaining fee. I didn't retain him, I

957
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 1: never got an invoice from him. I never paid any

958
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 1: money or legal fees to him. But occasionally he's a

959
00:58:24,360 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: smart lawyer, and those real estate we would have the

960
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:29,920
Speaker 1: discussions that were attorney client because I said, I want

961
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: to ask you a legal question about this or that,

962
00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:35,080
Speaker 1: and that's it, and it didn't involve any third party,

963
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: no third party. The thing that really irritates me about this,

964
00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: if these people would take the time I certainly do

965
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 1: to listen to your radio show three hours a day,

966
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: they would know that you have mentioned the countless times

967
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:51,840
Speaker 1: on air long before any of this, that Michael Cohen

968
00:58:51,920 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: was a friend of yours, and anybody anybody who has

969
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,400
Speaker 1: a lick of horse sense and has friends who are

970
00:58:58,480 --> 00:59:02,040
Speaker 1: professionals lawyers, doctor as Dennis, do you name it, inevitably

971
00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:05,040
Speaker 1: has a conversation saying, gee, you know, I want to

972
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 1: ask you about X. I mean, I've done that kind

973
00:59:07,840 --> 00:59:10,520
Speaker 1: of thing my entire life. I'm not alone. Everybody does

974
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 1: this to make something out of this, some sort of

975
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: scandal when it's right there, and you have been saying

976
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: it repeatedly, is I mean it is this this? It

977
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: sounds to me like he wanted to be thorough and

978
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: mentioned anybody that that had during a discussion, you know,

979
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: said hey, I want to let's have a turney client privilege.

980
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: That's it, right, and and and for that they make

981
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,640
Speaker 1: all of this, I mean it it is mind boggling. Well,

982
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: I mean, then this is the world we're now living in.

983
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: And you notice there's never any good news that is

984
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 1: ever discussed in this country anymore. You know, it doesn't matter.

985
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 1: All right, we have a chance of perhaps having the

986
00:59:47,640 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: de nuclearization of the Korean peninsula, China capitulated on trade

987
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: and intellectual property rights. The economy is booming, economic growth, Uh,

988
00:59:57,680 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 1: we now have projections that you know, deficits are gonna

989
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 1: be down dramatically trillions of dollars because the Trump tax

990
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,520
Speaker 1: cuts are now kicking in. Um. You know, there's so

991
01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: many good things out there that are are possible, but

992
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,480
Speaker 1: yet it's Trump Russia, Russia, Russia, or it's stormy stormy stormy,

993
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: or it's whatever they distraction they have for the day.

994
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,200
Speaker 1: The whole network will say at a hundred ninety times,

995
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 1: but they don't inform the American people about any news.

996
01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break, we'll come back. Stay

997
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: right there. Kaylee mcinanny's with us, Jeff Lord is with us,

998
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: And as we continue, Kaylee mcinaney is with us as

999
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: well as Jeff Lord. Um, where is the What do

1000
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:42,120
Speaker 1: you think conservatives should do to respond to the never

1001
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:47,000
Speaker 1: ending attempts to silence them with boycotts? Because I guess

1002
01:00:47,080 --> 01:00:50,320
Speaker 1: the obvious answer would be fight fire with fire. You know,

1003
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 1: should conservatives begin you know, doing the same thing, monitoring

1004
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: every liberal show, every newspaper, and do the same thing back.

1005
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: The problem with that is I don't believe in boys. Yeah,

1006
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't believe in him either. I don't like him,

1007
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:06,440
Speaker 1: but I do think there has to be an element

1008
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: of fight fire with fire. And the first thing that

1009
01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:11,680
Speaker 1: occurs is the donors. Who are these donors? I mean

1010
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:15,640
Speaker 1: what got me dismissed from CNN was that I called

1011
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:20,640
Speaker 1: attention to the anti semitic ravings of media matters has

1012
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 1: per Alan Dershowitz. I mean, this is not something I

1013
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:26,360
Speaker 1: may up. Alan Dershwitz went out of his way to

1014
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: say that these people were anti Semitic, and he wanted

1015
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: in the day, he wanted the Obama White House to

1016
01:01:31,640 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: disassociate themselves from them, which they didn't do for whatever reason. Um,

1017
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: and there are other examples here to call the but

1018
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:40,840
Speaker 1: these people have to be called out. And I would

1019
01:01:41,200 --> 01:01:43,800
Speaker 1: I would start thinking about who are the donors and

1020
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 1: what are the donors do? And let's take a good

1021
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 1: look at these donors and see if they really want

1022
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: to be associated with this stuff. Yeah, what do you think? Yeah?

1023
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:53,480
Speaker 1: I think we have to fight fire with fire. And

1024
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 1: one of the things I know I discussed often with

1025
01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: my colleagues is these airport contracts. It's infuriating when you

1026
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 1: have to stand in an airport, you look up, you

1027
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 1: see CNN, and you inevitably see a chirroon. That's dishonest,

1028
01:02:04,960 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 1: that's not truthful. And that's clearly a partisan headline. I

1029
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,560
Speaker 1: aimed directly at Donald Trump. You know, I think we

1030
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: need to be out there saying, why are airports not

1031
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: putting on half CNN half Fox News? Why do CNN

1032
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: still have this contract? That's uh, that's probably the only

1033
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: ratings they have left are these airport contracts. We need

1034
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:24,680
Speaker 1: to take aim at this. It's not fair, especially for

1035
01:02:24,760 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 1: the casual observers of the news who only get the

1036
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: news when they're walking through the airport. We do need

1037
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 1: to take aim. I understand not liking boycotts, but it's time.

1038
01:02:32,080 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: It's time to stand up to them. It'd be interesting

1039
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: to see how they react. All of a sudden, everyone

1040
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,360
Speaker 1: will be you know, spitt and fire. This is outrageous.

1041
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 1: You're trying to silence liberal voices. How could this happen?

1042
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: This is America, and I will be like, yeah, where

1043
01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 1: were you back when this, this, this, this, this, this, this,

1044
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: and this happened. It'll be interesting to watch, all right,

1045
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,880
Speaker 1: Kaylee mcinanny, thank you, Jeff Lord, thank you. Eight nine

1046
01:02:53,920 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 1: for one Sean is our toll free telephone number if

1047
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Our

1048
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: News round Up, Information Overload hours Coming up. At the

1049
01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:03,760
Speaker 1: top of the hours, we check in with former Speaker

1050
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 1: of the House, New King Rich and much more. Straight ahead,

1051
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,880
Speaker 1: stay right here for our final news round up and

1052
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:13,479
Speaker 1: information overload. In the final hour of the Shawn Hannity Show,

1053
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 1: I have in front of me a letter that was

1054
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: drafted by eleven House Republicans. They've sent this letter to

1055
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: the Department of Justice and the FBI. They are requesting

1056
01:03:22,920 --> 01:03:26,640
Speaker 1: a criminal investigation of you, Director Comey, as well as

1057
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Andrew mccave, FBI agents Peter Struck,

1058
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: and FBI Council Lisa Page. Uh. And it appears that

1059
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 1: they are alleging potential violations of the law regarding the

1060
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:44,200
Speaker 1: Clinton and Trump investigation. They're arguing that your decision not

1061
01:03:44,360 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: to seek charges against Clinton for her use of a

1062
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: private email server suggests an improper investigative conduct, potentially motivated

1063
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: by a political agenda. And they are also saying that

1064
01:03:56,360 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 1: you lead to classify information. Uh. And they refer to

1065
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: the seven memos you wrote about your conversations with the president.

1066
01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but I haven't read it. I don't know

1067
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: what to make of it. Seems they've been saying that

1068
01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: stuff since the Clinton email investigation, A whole lot of

1069
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: that's already being looked at by the Inspector General, Department Justice,

1070
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:23,880
Speaker 1: which is a very good thing. And I don't have

1071
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 1: any other reactions. The accusations are not true. I guess

1072
01:04:28,160 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: I should have said that first. But but that's okay,

1073
01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 1: all right, that was James Comy. You hear the giggling

1074
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 1: that there's nothing funny about what has happened today. You've

1075
01:04:37,560 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 1: got a dozen Republican members of Congress sending a criminal

1076
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,440
Speaker 1: referral to the Justice Department and the FBI seeking an

1077
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:49,280
Speaker 1: investigation of not only James Comey, but his deputy Andrew McCabe,

1078
01:04:49,680 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 1: the ex Attorney General, Loretta Lynch, and Hillary Clinton in

1079
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 1: connection with the campaign controversies. Jeff Sessions already announced last

1080
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 1: month he had assigned a federal prosecutor now to review

1081
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: some of these broader issues. Rhonda Santis and ten other

1082
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:08,920
Speaker 1: lawmakers want the investigation into violations from everything in the

1083
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: handling of the Clinton e mail probe to the anti

1084
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Trump dossier, the funding of the Iranian one, all of

1085
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: which we have broken down repeatedly. Now by the way,

1086
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 1: they named Comey, Clinton, Lynch, McCabe, Struck and Page as

1087
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 1: other figures that also need to be investigated. And simultaneously, Uh,

1088
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: we also have the House issued a criminal referral for

1089
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,440
Speaker 1: Comey to the Justice Department and all these other people,

1090
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: and they name the specific crimes. So you got this

1091
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: all going on at once, joining us now former Speaker

1092
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: of the House, news round up information overload hour. By

1093
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: the way you have uh this former Speaker of the House,

1094
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 1: new king rich. Uh. The only thing that's frustrating in

1095
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 1: all of this, because this is we have laid out

1096
01:05:51,680 --> 01:05:54,440
Speaker 1: every law that was broken, every bit of evidence that

1097
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,560
Speaker 1: is available. This is not like the Russia investigation, where

1098
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 1: well there's smoke but no fire. We know for a

1099
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 1: fact laws were broken, and we know for a fact

1100
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: that this was handled in a way that is totally

1101
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:11,320
Speaker 1: unorthodox by James Comey and Trump painting agents like Struck

1102
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,160
Speaker 1: in Page. Well, look, first of all, Ron De Santis

1103
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:16,439
Speaker 1: deserves a lot of credit for having taken the lead

1104
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 1: and putting this together and getting this number of members

1105
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,760
Speaker 1: of Congress that makes it dining pretty darn serious. But second,

1106
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 1: this is long overdue. The objective fact is that by

1107
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:32,840
Speaker 1: any reasonable standard, James Comey broke the law in a

1108
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 1: variety of ways. By any reasonable standard, the Secretary Clinton

1109
01:06:38,120 --> 01:06:41,760
Speaker 1: and her staff broke the law in an amazing number

1110
01:06:41,800 --> 01:06:45,880
Speaker 1: of ways. The Inspector General's report on on Andrew McCabe

1111
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:52,440
Speaker 1: basically outlines precisely parallel to UH what they ultimately went

1112
01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,760
Speaker 1: after General Flynn for and and the difference is, of course,

1113
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: that because McCabe is on the left, you don't suddenly

1114
01:06:58,840 --> 01:07:01,640
Speaker 1: see some chance thing that that to put him in jail,

1115
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,960
Speaker 1: which is what poor General Flynn, after thirty or five

1116
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 1: years of serving America got. I just look at what

1117
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: what they have put together in this letter, which I'm

1118
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,720
Speaker 1: personally going to send out UH to to folks on Twitter.

1119
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 1: I have about a I don't know, two point one

1120
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 1: million Twitter followers. I won't actually send the letter itself,

1121
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:22,400
Speaker 1: so they can just read for themselves what these these

1122
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: members of Congress have said to the Attorney General and

1123
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,120
Speaker 1: to the director of the FBI, and to the U. S.

1124
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Attorney for Utah who had been brought in by by

1125
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 1: Attorney General Sessions. This is really serious stuff. I think

1126
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:41,480
Speaker 1: when you actually get into the letter the I did,

1127
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 1: they did such a thorough job. And I'm talking about

1128
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: the De Santa's letter. You know, he goes point by

1129
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,440
Speaker 1: point and he points out about Director Comey what he

1130
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: said July five. Remember, Hillary wasn't interviewed until that July

1131
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: fourth weekend. But Struck At Peter Struck and James Comey

1132
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 1: were involved in beginning the drafting. They were drafting the

1133
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: exoneration of Hillary in May. Hillary had never been interviewed,

1134
01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 1: nor was seventeen other witnesses interviewed. Have you ever heard

1135
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: of exoneration letters being written before investigations? And Peter Struck,

1136
01:08:12,760 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 1: who hates Donald Trump, was he the right guy to

1137
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: interview Hillary Clinton? The whole Hillary Clinton thing is absurd.

1138
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 1: One of her aids, who was actually herself the subject

1139
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: of an investigation, is allowed to play the role of

1140
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 1: attorney with attorney client privilege during the interview. Now, this

1141
01:08:31,200 --> 01:08:34,600
Speaker 1: is a person who herself is subject to investigation. So

1142
01:08:34,960 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 1: every single thing that you see them throw at the

1143
01:08:37,760 --> 01:08:40,920
Speaker 1: President Trump and at his team was done to such

1144
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,400
Speaker 1: an extraordinary degree by the Clinton team, and yet every

1145
01:08:44,439 --> 01:08:47,040
Speaker 1: effort was made to avoid it and to hide from

1146
01:08:47,120 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: it and to not be serious about it. And then

1147
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:53,559
Speaker 1: you learn that Director Comey's wife and daughter were at

1148
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: the March, the day after the Trump inauguration, were passionately

1149
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 1: committed to Hillary. You learn that Deputy Director McCabe's wife

1150
01:09:03,360 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: had gotten seven or eight hundred thousand dollars in donations

1151
01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 1: as a Democratic candidate for the Senate, and we're supposed

1152
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,639
Speaker 1: to believe that there that there's no bias, there's there's

1153
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 1: no one sided abuse of the law. It really is

1154
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 1: just astonishing, you know. But it goes into very specific

1155
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,519
Speaker 1: details here as it relates to Comy, and it seems

1156
01:09:22,600 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 1: like this investigation is real. Um. One of the things

1157
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 1: that I've been pointing out, I said at the beginning

1158
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 1: of the year, this is going to be the year

1159
01:09:29,000 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 1: of the boomerang, and that is that everything they've been

1160
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:36,320
Speaker 1: accusing Donald Trump of seems to be backfiring on the Democrats.

1161
01:09:36,680 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: We you know, then we have the whole issue of

1162
01:09:38,400 --> 01:09:41,559
Speaker 1: the dossier, Mr Speaker, and this was the most remarkable thing.

1163
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: And I did see your comments about UM about the

1164
01:09:45,479 --> 01:09:49,599
Speaker 1: former FBI director saying he's physically shrinking with every interview,

1165
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:52,320
Speaker 1: and I kind of agree with that characterization. But when

1166
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: he admitted to George Stephanopolis that he didn't know if

1167
01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:59,200
Speaker 1: the dossier was true, h it's possible, is what his

1168
01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:02,640
Speaker 1: comments were. The Grassly Graham memo told us that the

1169
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:07,080
Speaker 1: bulk of information that made up the FISA application to

1170
01:10:07,160 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 1: spy on an American, a campaign associate of Trump and

1171
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: the lead up to the election, was that dossier. And

1172
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: he is saying today he doesn't know if it was

1173
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 1: true or not true. Now a lot of it has

1174
01:10:17,360 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: been debunked. Now here's the problem they have. That information

1175
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:25,120
Speaker 1: was presented to a Phis A Court judge in Andrew

1176
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 1: McCabe had said without the dossier, they wouldn't have even

1177
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:31,440
Speaker 1: been afies the application. It was never verified, never corroborated,

1178
01:10:31,520 --> 01:10:34,680
Speaker 1: and they never told the judge in the original application

1179
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: or three subsequent applications that Hillary paid for it and

1180
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:40,880
Speaker 1: that it was a foreign national Christopher Steele, who got

1181
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,639
Speaker 1: Russian sources. As as the means of putting that together,

1182
01:10:44,840 --> 01:10:48,160
Speaker 1: does that sound like collusion with Russia and that using

1183
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:51,439
Speaker 1: Russian lies to win an election? Because it does to me? Yeah,

1184
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:54,320
Speaker 1: I know, you know, it's it's very ironic that if

1185
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: you were going to have an investigation into Russian collusion,

1186
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: uh and into Russian money, you would have had the

1187
01:11:01,400 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 1: investigation aimed at Bill Clinton, who got a half million

1188
01:11:04,560 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 1: dollars from a Russian bank. It would have been named

1189
01:11:06,760 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 1: at the Clinton Foundation. They've got many millions of dollars.

1190
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 1: It would have been named at Hillary Clinton, who made

1191
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:16,120
Speaker 1: a decision to give the Russians access to American loom uranium.

1192
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you go down on the list and then

1193
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,479
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, so, how did they manage to

1194
01:11:20,600 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: turn this so that we're looking literally at a reverse

1195
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 1: of reality? And I think that the entire nature of

1196
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:33,639
Speaker 1: the documentary fits that is it's just uh, or rather

1197
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:37,439
Speaker 1: the document to Steele document um. And then of course Comey,

1198
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:41,879
Speaker 1: who clearly understands if you don't know something, it's doubtful

1199
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 1: not g since I can't disprove it, it might be true.

1200
01:11:46,840 --> 01:11:49,439
Speaker 1: It's crazy? Is that? Is that now the new standard

1201
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: in the American justice system? You know? One of the

1202
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: things I kept saying that a lot of this house

1203
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 1: to do with equal application under the law. We can't

1204
01:11:56,560 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 1: have a dual system of justice, one for the Clintons

1205
01:11:59,320 --> 01:12:01,640
Speaker 1: and one for every else here. And I've got to

1206
01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,000
Speaker 1: be honest, I'm I'm looking at all of this and

1207
01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: then you know, if you did you ever in all

1208
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 1: of your years as speaker all of your years in Congress,

1209
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 1: all of your years watching investigations take place, did you

1210
01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:15,200
Speaker 1: ever see that they were writing the exoneration part months

1211
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: before the interview part and the investigation part. Now, and

1212
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 1: of course the whole thing is will certain. First I

1213
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:25,160
Speaker 1: have to say to yourself, explain the staff person who

1214
01:12:25,360 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: was physically destroying your laptops with a hammer. Explain the

1215
01:12:30,880 --> 01:12:33,000
Speaker 1: bleach bit part. I mean, you go down the list,

1216
01:12:33,080 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 1: if you actually look at her answers to the news media,

1217
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 1: they were insulting Lee, dishonest, you know, and and and

1218
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 1: I mean literally you can go back and take when

1219
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,720
Speaker 1: she was asked about these activities, she was insulting Le, dishonest.

1220
01:12:45,120 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 1: And then you have to ask the question. I just

1221
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: saw an FBI agent X agent was found guilty I

1222
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: think in Minnesota of having actually taken documents home that

1223
01:12:54,920 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 1: were classified. Well, how many documents did Hillary Clinton take

1224
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,920
Speaker 1: home and whom I abbot take home that we're classified

1225
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: in their computers? An amazing number. How can you literally

1226
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:11,479
Speaker 1: eliminate thirty three thousand emails while you're under investigation and

1227
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:13,920
Speaker 1: not be helped. We don't talk about obstruction of justice,

1228
01:13:14,320 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, how about eliminating thirty three thousand emails during

1229
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 1: an investigation sounds a lot of construction to me. Yeah,

1230
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 1: it sounds like obstruction to me too. All Right, So

1231
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 1: now Congress is going to make this move. What does

1232
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: the Attorney General have to do in this case? At

1233
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:32,560
Speaker 1: this point, I think he has got to ask professionals,

1234
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 1: probably starting with the designated U. S. Attorney from Utah,

1235
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: who's apparently a pretty straight arrow. He's got to, let's say,

1236
01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: is there a legitimate fact in the in this letter

1237
01:13:44,400 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 1: about each of these people? And if so, do we

1238
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: need to open criminal proceedings? And I think clearly in

1239
01:13:49,479 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: McCabe's case, the Inspector General's report sets that up and

1240
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:56,479
Speaker 1: and gives you pretty good evidence. In the case of Comey,

1241
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 1: you take the various and sundry things he said were

1242
01:13:59,280 --> 01:14:03,479
Speaker 1: we contradicted himself in in sworn testimony, and you go

1243
01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,560
Speaker 1: down the whole list of things, and there there is

1244
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: a giant convoy of illegality that that follows Comey and

1245
01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:14,680
Speaker 1: and uh if you then added that various things he

1246
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: has said in these various interviews, I mean, this is

1247
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,880
Speaker 1: a guy who's just wildly out of control. You know,

1248
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:23,559
Speaker 1: I predicted that that no good lawyer would have allowed

1249
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 1: him to write this book and go on a book tour. Um,

1250
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 1: I think I'm being proven correct here. Um. I want

1251
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,720
Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about the media. And you

1252
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,920
Speaker 1: have dealt with this your entire life and career, and

1253
01:14:33,960 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 1: I remember watching everything you went through during your years

1254
01:14:36,800 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 1: as Speaker of the House, and the media is so

1255
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 1: so abusively biased. Now I'm just I don't think I've

1256
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:47,080
Speaker 1: ever seen it this bad. And how you think the

1257
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:49,600
Speaker 1: presidents should react? By the way people are signing up

1258
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 1: for your course, how do they sign up for it?

1259
01:14:51,120 --> 01:14:54,840
Speaker 1: Hope they go to Defending America course dot com. We're

1260
01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: getting all sorts of reactions. You know, people realize that

1261
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 1: our our civilizations at risk. And that's so the young

1262
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: people really don't get taught anymore in school about America.

1263
01:15:04,160 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 1: So Defending American Course dot Com is doing very well

1264
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:10,599
Speaker 1: both online and through a DVD. And and I think

1265
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 1: it's an important project to try to help educate a

1266
01:15:13,200 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: generation of Americans. All Right, We put it up on

1267
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 1: Hannity dot com. Also you can find it on my

1268
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 1: Twitter account at John Hannity. What should the President do

1269
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:24,840
Speaker 1: as he is under a daily assault by as a

1270
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:29,320
Speaker 1: special Counsel sitting there appointing you know, really bad corrupt

1271
01:15:29,360 --> 01:15:32,240
Speaker 1: people in my view, and compromise people, and they keep

1272
01:15:32,360 --> 01:15:35,519
Speaker 1: rolling along and expanding their mandate. And then you've got

1273
01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:38,280
Speaker 1: all of these other crimes that have been overlooked up

1274
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:41,320
Speaker 1: until today. And then you have the media that is

1275
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:45,040
Speaker 1: basically the extension of the Special Counsel's Office and the

1276
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 1: Democratic Party's office. What should the president do to deal

1277
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,599
Speaker 1: with all that? Well, I mean, I think the first

1278
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,240
Speaker 1: thing to do is to recognize that these people are

1279
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: his mortal opponents. Uh, these are not news people. These

1280
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 1: are people who are desperately committed to the left. They

1281
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 1: were desperately committed to Hillary Clinton. They'll do anything you

1282
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: can to destroy him. I said yesterday, if when when

1283
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:10,519
Speaker 1: word came out that Pompeo, CIA director and nominee to

1284
01:16:10,560 --> 01:16:13,360
Speaker 1: be Sector State, Pompeo had gone to North Korea to

1285
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 1: talk directly to Kim Jong On and try to create

1286
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 1: the summit, that would work, I said, you know, if

1287
01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 1: if Trump ended up actually pulling off this extraordinary moment

1288
01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: and got North Korea to agree to disarm, the New

1289
01:16:26,040 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: York Times coverage would be that Kim Jong On, in

1290
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 1: a moment of great statesmanship. Despite Donald Trump agreed to

1291
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 1: do the right thing. But the idea that they would

1292
01:16:35,439 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: actually recognize what extraordinary leadership we're having is almost impossible

1293
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:44,080
Speaker 1: because they literally hate him so much. And I think

1294
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 1: that's just a reality. So I think he's got two

1295
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:50,760
Speaker 1: or three different challenges. I think on the legal front um,

1296
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 1: they ought to do two things. One is they ought

1297
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,720
Speaker 1: to stick to the facts. I just wrote a piece

1298
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,519
Speaker 1: will be in the Hill tomorrow saying, you know, read

1299
01:16:58,720 --> 01:17:03,040
Speaker 1: the Rosenstein memo, Uh, read the Inspector General report. Uh,

1300
01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, don't take my word for it or your

1301
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,479
Speaker 1: word for it. Every citizen in the country, and I

1302
01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 1: think the Republican National Committee should literally emailed everybody to

1303
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,920
Speaker 1: have an email addressed for a copy of both of those.

1304
01:17:15,160 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: When you read what Rob Rosenstein said and that memo

1305
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,640
Speaker 1: to the President, when he concludes at the very end,

1306
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:26,760
Speaker 1: you could never rebuild the FBI as an institution that

1307
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: was respected as long as Comy stayed there. Now it's

1308
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: it's definitive, And frankly, one of the mistakes that President

1309
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,479
Speaker 1: Trump made was when when he got that memo, he

1310
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: should have simply released the entire memo of the country

1311
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:45,600
Speaker 1: said how shocked he was, but let the weekend television

1312
01:17:46,240 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 1: deal with the memo and then fire Comy as it was,

1313
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:53,679
Speaker 1: he fired Comy without the rest of us having read

1314
01:17:53,720 --> 01:17:57,000
Speaker 1: the memo. Similarly, when you look at McCabe and you

1315
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:01,920
Speaker 1: read the Inspector General report on McCabe, you realize if

1316
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: if General Flynn was guilty of anything, McCabe is guilty

1317
01:18:05,160 --> 01:18:07,679
Speaker 1: of the same thing. If they're going to prosecute General

1318
01:18:07,960 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: General Flynn, they have an absolute obligation to prosecute McCabe.

1319
01:18:11,600 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: I mean, there is no distinction. You have an Inspector

1320
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 1: General report that says he lied under oath, and he

1321
01:18:17,080 --> 01:18:19,720
Speaker 1: lied when he wasn't under oath, and he did so

1322
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 1: for personal reasons. And it's not just fairing him. I mean,

1323
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:26,960
Speaker 1: this is a guy who if we're going to have

1324
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 1: a country in which the rule of law means anything

1325
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 1: at a moment, Yeah, you're right, you know that that

1326
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: he should be treated exactly. General Flynn was all right,

1327
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: Mr Speaker, thank you for being with us. His courses

1328
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 1: up on Hannity dot Com eight one Shawn a toll

1329
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 1: free telephone number. They move towards energy independence. Everything we've

1330
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: ever wanted is now done. I'll explain next. We've ended

1331
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 1: the war in American energy. We were in war, and

1332
01:18:54,479 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: we've ended the war on beautiful, clean coal, one of

1333
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 1: our great natural resources. I'm very important for our defense,

1334
01:19:05,600 --> 01:19:08,120
Speaker 1: call very important for our defense because we have it.

1335
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: We don't have to send it through pipes, we don't

1336
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: have to get it from foreign countries. We have more

1337
01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: than anybody, and they wanted to end it, and our

1338
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 1: miners have been mistreated, and then not being mistreated anymore.

1339
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 1: We're doing tremendous business. I was in Vietnam and the

1340
01:19:27,720 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: Prime Minister and the President of Vietnam were there, and

1341
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:32,160
Speaker 1: we have a massive deficit with them, like we do

1342
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,680
Speaker 1: with everybody else, because these presidents have just let it

1343
01:19:34,760 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: go to hell. We have the worst trade deals you've

1344
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: ever seen. So we're changing it. So I said, we

1345
01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 1: have too big a deficit with Vietnam. I'm not happy.

1346
01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:44,360
Speaker 1: He said, well, but we're going to I said, bike call,

1347
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 1: Mike cal They used a lot of called bike call,

1348
01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:48,680
Speaker 1: and he said, you know, we have book call from

1349
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: West Virginia and other places, and it's the finest call

1350
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:55,439
Speaker 1: we've ever is. It's interesting, and West Virginia now is

1351
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 1: doing great. You look at what's happening in West Virginia.

1352
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:02,519
Speaker 1: You look at what's happening in Pennsylvania. You look at

1353
01:20:02,560 --> 01:20:07,879
Speaker 1: what's happening in Ohio, and you look at what's happening

1354
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: in Wyoming. You look at what's happening all over. It's

1355
01:20:12,160 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 1: like it's like a different world. And remember this, Virtually

1356
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: as soon as I got into office, we approved the

1357
01:20:21,280 --> 01:20:25,519
Speaker 1: Keystone XL pipeline and the Dakota Access Pipe bloods which

1358
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:29,759
Speaker 1: would never have been approke And we announced our withdrawal

1359
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:37,280
Speaker 1: from the totally disastrous job killing wealth knocking out you know,

1360
01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: it knocked out our wealth, or it would have. They

1361
01:20:39,800 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: basically wanted to take our wealth away. They didn't want

1362
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 1: us to use our wealth power. We knocked out the

1363
01:20:48,680 --> 01:20:53,320
Speaker 1: Paris Climate Accord. Would have been a jest, all right,

1364
01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: that's the president. When you get the pipelines completed, you

1365
01:20:56,520 --> 01:20:59,880
Speaker 1: get rid of the burdensome regulation, the war against energy,

1366
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:03,680
Speaker 1: the Obama era regulations, you open up an war, you

1367
01:21:03,800 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: expand coal mining and fracking in the country. Well, it's

1368
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:12,040
Speaker 1: something we have been advocating on this program literally for years,

1369
01:21:12,520 --> 01:21:14,479
Speaker 1: and there are so many benefits. Number One, you get

1370
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 1: high paying jobs from millions of Americans. Those are Those

1371
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: are the people in Ohio, in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, around

1372
01:21:23,360 --> 01:21:26,800
Speaker 1: the country that will be building the pipelines, involved in

1373
01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: natural gas production, involved in transportation, involved in every aspect

1374
01:21:32,400 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: of the oil and gas and coal industries in this country.

1375
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:37,879
Speaker 1: You put coal miners back to work in West Virginia

1376
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,080
Speaker 1: and elsewhere, Hillary's gonna put them out of work. And

1377
01:21:41,160 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: then you get the added benefit is we're no longer

1378
01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:46,840
Speaker 1: dependent in any way, shape, matter or form on countries

1379
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 1: that hate our guts for the lifeblood of our economy,

1380
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:53,639
Speaker 1: which is energy. Well, you think we would have done

1381
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:55,880
Speaker 1: this a long time ago. But again, it's sort of

1382
01:21:55,960 --> 01:22:01,080
Speaker 1: like Jerusalem becoming the capital of israel I. Guess you

1383
01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: need a president that has a lot of guts. You'll

1384
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: see uh Hollanders with us. He is the co founder

1385
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,320
Speaker 1: of the Fuel Freedom Foundation, also the founder and the

1386
01:22:09,400 --> 01:22:13,519
Speaker 1: chairman of Our Energy Policy Foundation. They're dedicated to creating

1387
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: an open dialogue and agreement on US energy policy. Our

1388
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: old friend, he hasn't been on a long time. John

1389
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 1: Hoffmeister is with us. Remember he made the movie Pump.

1390
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,920
Speaker 1: He's a former CEO of Shell Oil and founder of

1391
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:28,280
Speaker 1: citizens for an affordable energy. That's the other thing. The

1392
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: more we produce, the lower prices are gonna be. Uh.

1393
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: And you even see the Saudias now, Uh, they're now

1394
01:22:34,479 --> 01:22:38,040
Speaker 1: trying to transition their economy. They see what's happening in America.

1395
01:22:38,200 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: They know the resources we have, and they know that

1396
01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: we won't need their their oil much longer. Uh, John Hoffmeister,

1397
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: you and I discussed this so many times. This is

1398
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,640
Speaker 1: pretty much everything on the list that we wanted in

1399
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:54,280
Speaker 1: terms of energy production in the country. I can't I

1400
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: don't think anything's missing here. I think we need to

1401
01:22:57,200 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 1: stay on this course. Sean. This is a good core,

1402
01:23:00,200 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 1: good for America, good for jobs, and don't forget with

1403
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:07,160
Speaker 1: all of the emphasis on natural gas, it's also good

1404
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:10,200
Speaker 1: for the environment because it is we we are at

1405
01:23:10,320 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: ninety two levels of emissions in the atmosphere because of

1406
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:17,840
Speaker 1: natural gas. And I think, and if we can get

1407
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,640
Speaker 1: natural gas fuels of ethanol, methanol l n G C

1408
01:23:21,880 --> 01:23:24,840
Speaker 1: n G, as we've talked about years ago, then we're

1409
01:23:24,880 --> 01:23:27,760
Speaker 1: really on our way to not having to import any

1410
01:23:27,880 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: oil whatsoever. I mean, I think about that. How many

1411
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:36,160
Speaker 1: jobs are we talking about? Because remember when New Gingrid

1412
01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 1: started drill here, drew, drill here, drill now, save money.

1413
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: And and then we were working with companies and getting

1414
01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 1: people jobs. You know, people are going from making thirty

1415
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars a year or a hundred thousand dollars

1416
01:23:46,680 --> 01:23:50,320
Speaker 1: a year or more in North Dakota. But then we

1417
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: had this artificial drop in prices. I believe it was

1418
01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,719
Speaker 1: done on purpose to drive American companies out of business.

1419
01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that? Well, I think there's more

1420
01:23:58,720 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: to it than just that. There is a lot of

1421
01:24:01,680 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia trying to really take aim at Iran's economy

1422
01:24:05,160 --> 01:24:09,600
Speaker 1: and Russia's economy because they were just the headgemony in

1423
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: the Middle East has been a big problem for Saudi Arabia.

1424
01:24:12,800 --> 01:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Who's our friends, Russia and Iran not so much. And

1425
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:18,560
Speaker 1: so I think the Saudis were trying to send a

1426
01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: message to the Russians and the Iranians. I think the

1427
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 1: US was in large measure collateral damage. But you asked

1428
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,000
Speaker 1: how many jobs. I've figured that there would be three

1429
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:31,160
Speaker 1: million new jobs in America to eliminate imported oil. I

1430
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,839
Speaker 1: mean that, and and and of course the greater production

1431
01:24:35,479 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 1: and more energy in the marketplace, applying the man criss

1432
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:43,360
Speaker 1: crossing dictating price. Well, if you produce more naturally at

1433
01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 1: some point, it may not immediately, but prices are going

1434
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:48,760
Speaker 1: to go down. And these are high paying career jobs

1435
01:24:48,840 --> 01:24:51,400
Speaker 1: we're talking about. I mean, I know drivers that were

1436
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:54,080
Speaker 1: driving in the oil fields were making over a hundred

1437
01:24:54,120 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year. Isn't that correct? Absolutely? It is

1438
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,920
Speaker 1: a great place to make money with good benefits. And

1439
01:25:02,320 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: you talk about that many people going to work. We're

1440
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 1: going to be training people, young people to take on

1441
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:13,519
Speaker 1: careers that are gonna last decades and decades into the future. Yeah. Uh,

1442
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:15,720
Speaker 1: you see. What's your opinion on all of this? And

1443
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:19,120
Speaker 1: how far will America go? Uh? And how much can

1444
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:23,400
Speaker 1: be done to lock this all down for future generations? Sean?

1445
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 1: According to government sucks, if we used our natural gas

1446
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:30,120
Speaker 1: to replace the oil we're still import which is still

1447
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: forty because it's going to take a while to get

1448
01:25:33,560 --> 01:25:35,920
Speaker 1: it off it. But if we use ductial gas to

1449
01:25:36,040 --> 01:25:39,880
Speaker 1: replace it, according to government sucks, it's worth between zero

1450
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: points forward to zero point eight of GDP growth. Fear

1451
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 1: that is huge. If we get ted fifteen years of

1452
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 1: such additional growth to GDP all from using our own

1453
01:25:51,160 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 1: resources and not sending the money to countries and eight as.

1454
01:25:55,000 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: I think it's that that's a big next jump. If

1455
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,160
Speaker 1: you ask what the president needs to do right, uh,

1456
01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:03,479
Speaker 1: open the market so the natural gas that were now

1457
01:26:03,600 --> 01:26:06,760
Speaker 1: producing additional to our oil can replace the rest of

1458
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: the oil. Dreen Court, Well, it's funny to watch Saudi

1459
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 1: Arabia and the Crown Prince was here and during one

1460
01:26:12,080 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 1: of his interviews, I think this one was on sixty minutes,

1461
01:26:14,840 --> 01:26:17,639
Speaker 1: you know, saying that he's trying to transition the Saudi

1462
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: economy from being so oil energy dependent. I think he

1463
01:26:22,840 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: sees the handwriting is on the wall, and I think

1464
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:27,720
Speaker 1: he sees that it's it's imperative for his country to

1465
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: have other industries. Um, but if you if you look

1466
01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 1: at America, John Hoffmeiser, we we have more natural gas

1467
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 1: then like all of the oil that is in the

1468
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:43,160
Speaker 1: Middle East and beyond. Isn't that true? Just like coal,

1469
01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 1: our natural gas resources are really the best in the world,

1470
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 1: and the technology we use to get it out of

1471
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:55,240
Speaker 1: the ground is among the most productive in the world.

1472
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,400
Speaker 1: And the ability to build the infrastructure is what's holding

1473
01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:03,559
Speaker 1: us up. The infrastructure needs public policy to make ethanol

1474
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:09,640
Speaker 1: and methanol acceptable legal fuels for personal transportation. And then

1475
01:27:09,680 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 1: the infrastructure, whether it's pipelines or whether it is uh,

1476
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:17,479
Speaker 1: the manufacturing of ethanol and methanol from natural gas. For

1477
01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:22,120
Speaker 1: most cars in America can take this this product uh

1478
01:27:22,439 --> 01:27:25,240
Speaker 1: that and that was what what you're saying is UMP

1479
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:27,320
Speaker 1: was all about. I know this for a fact because

1480
01:27:27,360 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: in the early eighties, when I lived in Rhode Island,

1481
01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: I had bought and purchased an old Providence Gas Company

1482
01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:34,720
Speaker 1: van that I used for my work van when I

1483
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 1: was a contractor, and they had converted it to run

1484
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:41,600
Speaker 1: on natural gas and then converted it back to to

1485
01:27:41,840 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: gasoline by the time I bought it. So this, this

1486
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: technology has been around forever. In other words, the combustion engine,

1487
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:52,080
Speaker 1: natural gas been around forever. Yeah, and it's been sitting

1488
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: there and we're so stupid we don't do anything with it. Yeah,

1489
01:27:57,360 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: if you look at if you look, for example, at Pennsylvania,

1490
01:28:01,000 --> 01:28:03,640
Speaker 1: the price of natural gas is so low because you

1491
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:06,320
Speaker 1: can't get the gas out. But if you could put

1492
01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:10,320
Speaker 1: a manufacturing plant, it will produce fuels from the natural

1493
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 1: gas in Pennsylvania and seldom just to the states around it,

1494
01:28:14,680 --> 01:28:17,439
Speaker 1: you'll double the price of natural gas in Pennsylvania. That

1495
01:28:17,560 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: will raise the price of call as well. This is

1496
01:28:20,080 --> 01:28:24,360
Speaker 1: just good for every constituency that that looked at this,

1497
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:29,040
Speaker 1: that voted Trump and are actually thinking about their own

1498
01:28:29,640 --> 01:28:33,599
Speaker 1: you know, future jobs, salaries, everything. You know. You gotta

1499
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 1: look at what China just did, and not only on

1500
01:28:36,840 --> 01:28:41,040
Speaker 1: intellectual property rights, but now for American the American auto

1501
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:45,120
Speaker 1: industry and reducing the tariffs, the burdensome terroiffs they put

1502
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: on companies. Everybody in the media was predicting, Oh, there's

1503
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:50,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a trade war. Doesn't look like a trade war.

1504
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: It looks like freer and fairer trade, which is what

1505
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 1: the President said he wanted in the beginning, a great

1506
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:59,680
Speaker 1: I think, showing the whole business of trade, tariffs that

1507
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 1: set era. It's all about negotiating for fair trade among

1508
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:09,040
Speaker 1: very important partners, China's economy and its size, the US

1509
01:29:09,120 --> 01:29:11,519
Speaker 1: economy in its size. We don't need to go to

1510
01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 1: war with one another, but we need to have a

1511
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:18,080
Speaker 1: level playing field. Yeah, what about the credits for car companies?

1512
01:29:18,160 --> 01:29:22,759
Speaker 1: How advantageous now that we move in this energy independence direction.

1513
01:29:22,960 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 1: What does it mean for the car companies? John, Well,

1514
01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 1: it's gonna mean that the car companies can be sensible.

1515
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:32,919
Speaker 1: The kind of standards that were being set, the CAFE standards.

1516
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 1: Everybody knew back in two thousand and ten when and

1517
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:38,760
Speaker 1: two thousand and twelve, when we were moving towards these

1518
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: incredible CAFE standards, they would never be met. And fortunately

1519
01:29:42,840 --> 01:29:45,200
Speaker 1: there were some smart people that put into the CAFE

1520
01:29:45,360 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 1: standard regulations and interim review period which was taking place

1521
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:53,680
Speaker 1: in twenty sixteen and seventeen, and thank goodness, we now

1522
01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:58,080
Speaker 1: have the ability to extend into the future. You know

1523
01:29:58,200 --> 01:30:00,320
Speaker 1: what the car companies are good at doing, that is

1524
01:30:00,360 --> 01:30:03,599
Speaker 1: making very fuel efficient cars, but not to some artificial

1525
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,160
Speaker 1: standard that can't be met. Yeah, well said yo, see,

1526
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:10,240
Speaker 1: we'll give you the last word. I think Americans want

1527
01:30:10,360 --> 01:30:14,080
Speaker 1: bigger cars. You look there. Even they want more SUVs

1528
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:17,599
Speaker 1: and more Jeeps and more trucks, and they need them,

1529
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 1: and they make if they make them flex fuel options,

1530
01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:24,679
Speaker 1: then they get credits back, and that means more jobs

1531
01:30:24,720 --> 01:30:27,560
Speaker 1: at home exactly. And and as as a result, you

1532
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:30,080
Speaker 1: don't have to move the factories to Mexico. You can

1533
01:30:30,160 --> 01:30:32,360
Speaker 1: keep them all in Michigan. Yeah, I don't think we

1534
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 1: need any more factories in uh in Mexico. I want

1535
01:30:35,479 --> 01:30:39,320
Speaker 1: American factories for American workers and American jobs. And by

1536
01:30:39,360 --> 01:30:41,439
Speaker 1: the way, I have no problem with Mexico building their

1537
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 1: own factories and building their own products. But you know

1538
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 1: what we have allowed, and we have created such a

1539
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 1: disincentive for so many industries. You know, between burdensome regulation

1540
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:55,559
Speaker 1: and taxation, we literally have pushed businesses out of the country.

1541
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,800
Speaker 1: And it has hurt the American worker, the forgotten men

1542
01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,400
Speaker 1: and women to love bulls that it has caused deep pain, suffering,

1543
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 1: and misery and basically cut off the American dream for

1544
01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,800
Speaker 1: so many people. I want to thank you both for

1545
01:31:07,880 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: being one of us. John Hoffmeister, Yosi, thank you so much. Hollander,

1546
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:12,560
Speaker 1: thank you so much for being with us. We appreciate it.

1547
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:15,560
Speaker 1: One Shawn is our number. You want to be a

1548
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,560
Speaker 1: part of the program We've got let's see, is it.

1549
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: Lisa is in Wilmington, North Carolina. Lisa, how are you, hey, Sean,

1550
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:27,000
Speaker 1: how you doing? I'm good? How are you today? I'm great.

1551
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:29,759
Speaker 1: I've been having a tough time the last couple of weeks.

1552
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: Just uh. I always think of your saying, let not

1553
01:31:32,320 --> 01:31:34,599
Speaker 1: your heart be troubled and the state of the country

1554
01:31:35,160 --> 01:31:38,600
Speaker 1: and I've yesterday. I just wanted to let you know

1555
01:31:38,680 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: I was tooling around on the different stations and the

1556
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 1: number of people calling into different conservatives um shows like

1557
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 1: Will cow or russ calling in supportive you and so

1558
01:31:50,520 --> 01:31:53,240
Speaker 1: exasperated of what's going on. I just wanted to let

1559
01:31:53,280 --> 01:31:56,120
Speaker 1: you know that not just the conservative talk show host,

1560
01:31:56,160 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 1: but you have the American people behind you. It's just

1561
01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,280
Speaker 1: so discussed. Andrew's a great guy, Mark has been great,

1562
01:32:02,560 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 1: Russia has been great. If we don't have this, these

1563
01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:11,760
Speaker 1: civil liberty protections, if we don't have them. I'm not

1564
01:32:11,840 --> 01:32:15,560
Speaker 1: trying to be cynical here. It's over America as a

1565
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:19,920
Speaker 1: constitutional republic is done, and especially the right to privacy,

1566
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:23,880
Speaker 1: which everybody cherishes. I don't think there's one honest person

1567
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:27,640
Speaker 1: in this country that when you hear that detail, and

1568
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 1: you hear that they got a warrant, a fis a

1569
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:34,839
Speaker 1: warrant meaning your government spying on an American using false

1570
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:40,400
Speaker 1: propaganda from a political operative and a foreign national and Russians,

1571
01:32:40,920 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: and they never tell the judge the truth. How is

1572
01:32:43,160 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 1: this not a crime? And if it's not going to

1573
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:49,439
Speaker 1: be a crime, then that means basically we can be

1574
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:52,719
Speaker 1: spied on any time of day or night by our government.

1575
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:55,720
Speaker 1: And that's it's the end of liberty. It's the end

1576
01:32:55,760 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 1: of freedom as we know it. And it's that that

1577
01:32:58,720 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 1: represents to me a police state. That's scary. Anyway, I

1578
01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 1: do appreciate at Lisa, thank you so much. God bless

1579
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,400
Speaker 1: you and all the people. Andrew was great, everybody that

1580
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:11,400
Speaker 1: has been so supportive. I can't even list all the

1581
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:13,880
Speaker 1: names except to say thank you to everybody, including all

1582
