Round Up, Information Overload, our eight hundred and 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,760 Speaker 1: nine four one sean. If you want to be a 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: part of the program, we welcome back to the show. 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: Investigative reporter, Editor in chief of just thenews dot com, 6 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: John Solomon. Often I've realized, John, when you come on 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,880 Speaker 1: the air, I'll take your article and tell people what's 8 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,280 Speaker 1: in it, at least half of it, and then I'll 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 1: ask you questions and you just echo what I just said. 10 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 1: That's not fair to you because you did all the 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: investigative work. So how you doing, I'll do it anyway 12 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 1: you like? Shan went, well, yeah, a lot of a 13 00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: lot of stuff going on today, all right. FBI considered 14 00:00:41,479 --> 00:00:47,559 Speaker 1: resolving the Russia collusion concerns with a defensive briefing to Trump. 15 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: According to memos, what's this all about? So four years 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: after Bob Muller officially shut down the Russia collusion case 17 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: with it finding that there was no such collusion, that 18 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: it was a political dirty Essentially, we're now getting information 19 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: from what the Justice Department Inspector General was looking at 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: all of the wrongdoing that we didn't see in his report. 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: And one of those is an interview that former Attorney 22 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,399 Speaker 1: General Lauretta Lyns the Obama a g at the time 23 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 1: this case started. She gave him testimony, and she delivers 24 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: two blockbuster revelations. The first is that the FBI's interested 25 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: in Donald Trump in the campaign in Russia was earlier 26 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,199 Speaker 1: than July thirty one, twenty sixteen, when Crossfire Hurricane started. 27 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: It actually was several months earlier when Jim Comey, then 28 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 1: the FBI director, and Andrew McCabe's deputy, both of them 29 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: ended up being fired, came to her and said, listen, 30 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: we have some concerns about this guy carter Page. It 31 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 1: looks like he's had some Russian contacts. We just want 32 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: to let you know. They pulled her aside in By 33 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: the way, the same carter Page that we now know 34 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: was an American asset working with three letter agency beginning 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: with Cy's exactly right that the same carter Page. By 36 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: the way, carter Page was helping the CIA as an asset. 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: He was helping the FBI in a related criminal case. 38 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: He's helping the United States government. And here is James 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:14,920 Speaker 1: Comey and Andrew McCabe coming into Lauretta Lynch saying we 40 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: have a concern about this guy. Just want to let 41 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 1: you know, maybe the right thing to do is to 42 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: give the president, a future president Donald Trump, then the 43 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: GOP nominee, a defensive briefing. By the way, every FBI 44 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: expert I've talked to him, including Kevin Brock, the former 45 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Intelligenceciece of the FBI, said that would have been the 46 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: right thing to do based on the evidence. There was 47 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 1: no reason to open up on the president or his campaign. 48 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: Let him know there's some worry and do that. They 49 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: didn't do that. Of course, they continued on for three 50 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: or four months, and they opened up that crazy investigation 51 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: which tied up this country in three years of strife 52 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,959 Speaker 1: over something that was a political dirty trick by Hillary. 53 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 1: Couldn't imagine how much history could have changed if Jim 54 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: Comey and Andy McCabe just did what they originally suggested doing, 55 00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: give President Trump a defensive briefing and on this country 56 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: would have been saved a lot of strife over a 57 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,440 Speaker 1: dirty political trip. It was a dirty political trick, and 58 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: I doubt that Jim Comey going back, would have done it. 59 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you might recall I think it was Lindsey 60 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,399 Speaker 1: Graham that got out out of him. Knowing what you know, Now, 61 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: would you have signed the three FISA warrant applications on 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: carter Page? Now, at what point did they know carter 63 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: Page's connection to the Trump campaign? And at what point 64 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: did they figure out that meant that that would be 65 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: a backdoor into the campaign and later presidency of Donald Trump. 66 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: You're asking just the right question, Sean. I'll have a 67 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: follow up story tomorrow. I'm gonna get into a little 68 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: bit what we By the way, I hate when people 69 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: do that, because now I really want to know the answer. 70 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: I am not. I'm gonna tell you. I'm gonna give 71 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 1: it up early to you. It's really fascinating. By the way, 72 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 1: as a kid, I knew every Christmas President I was 73 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: getting from Quote Santa ahead of time. So that's just 74 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: my personality. I love it. Well, let me tell you 75 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: what we've discut. So carter Page has been with the 76 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: CIA for several years. By the time this starts in 77 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: March of twenty sixteen, he's announced as one of the 78 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: advisors to President Trump. Two weeks later, the FBI office 79 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: in New York, By the way, who had interviewed carter 80 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: Page and he was cooperating an investigation, they opened up 81 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: a counterintelligence investigation targeting him. So two weeks after Trump 82 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 1: announces him, they opened up a counter intelligence investigation. Now, 83 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 1: this is very odd because all the FBI would have 84 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: had to do was look into a database. They would 85 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: have sawd Carter Page was a cooperating witness with the 86 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,200 Speaker 1: FBI and an asset for the CIA. But they opened 87 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: up on him anyways, and then they do no work 88 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: on it whatsoever for several months. And yet though there's 89 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 1: no work on the case even though it's a CIA asset, 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: somehow Jim Comey and Andrew McCabe know about it and 91 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: they're taking it to the Obama Attorney General to kind 92 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: of get the ball rolling. That circumstance. That timeline really 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: really concerns a lot of the experts. I've talked to him. 94 00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: We're going to put more of that out tomorrow because 95 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: Lauretta Lynch really raises the possibility maybe this operation was 96 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: going on much earlier than they Crossfire hurricane investigation that 97 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: we've all known and discredit it now, but that's something 98 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: that we had reported back back in the day, I 99 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: mean a long time ago. We brought that question up, yep, 100 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: and now there's a whole new body of evidence and 101 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: some of the explanations. For instance, James Comey and Andrew 102 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: McCabe have testified they don't think they had any contact 103 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 1: with Loretta Lynch back in the spring. Well, that clearly 104 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be the case, Lorette. If that was you, 105 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: or maybe we'd be arrested for lying under oath. That's right. 106 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: But Loretto Lech not only members remembers that you can 107 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: see from the records, she had contemporary his records showing 108 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: the meeting occurred, so she could really back up her 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: account on this. There is something about the spring of 110 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: twenty sixteen that never sat right with you and me 111 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: or Sarah Carter and the others who dug into this, Greg. 112 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: I think now Loretta Lynch opens up a whole new 113 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: window into this period of time and some real concerns 114 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: that may maybe the effort to target Trump began a 115 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 1: few months earlier than we do. Yeah, I think you're 116 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: probably right on that point. Let me ask you this 117 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: next question, because we do know that the FBI was 118 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: warned in August of twenty sixteen not to trust the 119 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 1: dirty dossier by Bruce Whore. Then we know that the 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: FBI in very early October, this is before the November 121 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: presidential election, that the FBI sent people over to Great 122 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: Britain and they offered a one million dollars award to 123 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: Christopher Steele if he could corroborate parts of the dossier 124 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: that he put together. He was never able to corroborate 125 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: it and get his million dollars back. Now, by the 126 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: end of October when the first FIS application was signed 127 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: by James Comey, and remember Andrew McCabe said, without the dossier, 128 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: the FIZER warrant never would have been approved anyway. So 129 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: they know that Christopher Steele by that point couldn't corroborate 130 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 1: it or else he would have collected a million dollars right, 131 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 1: So on the top of a FIES warrant it says verified. 132 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: We've gone over those many times. So James Comey knows 133 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: when he signs the first FIES application that it's not 134 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: verified because we know the bulk of information was the 135 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: dirty dossier. So the question is how did they all 136 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: get away with that? Because I think I'd be in 137 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: jail to this day. Well, listen, look at what happened 138 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: to Mike Flynn. And others who were accused of why 139 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: they do get rung up right? It is an amazing 140 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: story because remember one of the stories we got to 141 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: break on your show a few years back. There was 142 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: a spreadsheet analyzing every sentence of the Steel dossie that 143 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 1: the FBI did, and it found ninety percent of the 144 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: dossier could either was either disproven, was not able to 145 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: be corroberative, couldn't be despite all the great intelligence tools 146 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 1: we had, or was simply Internet rumor garbage. They also 147 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 1: now know because we learned from the dan Chenko probe 148 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: that the sources at Christoph Christio had, we're backing away 149 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: from the claims that we're being attributed to the Let 150 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: me give a little background here. Dan Chenko was the 151 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: subsource for Christopher Steele and he was interviewed in January 152 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: of twenty seventeen, and that's when he said none of 153 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: this is true, meaningless Steel dossier and that it was 154 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: all bar talk and we didn't expect it to be 155 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: used this way. And what did the FBI do? Then? 156 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: They ended up putting dan Chenko on their payroll. Am 157 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: I mistaken there? That's correct, That's exactly what they did. 158 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: It's just the game is played to such terrible proportions 159 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: when you see that the FBI really knew at every 160 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: twist and turn of this case it did not have 161 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 1: a case against Pamald Trump, and it kept proceeding forward 162 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: in taking this country through great turmoil, handicapping his presidency 163 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: for nearly two years. It was fiction from the moment 164 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: they got it, they knew it was fiction, and yet 165 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 1: they continued to pursue it for three years. It really 166 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: is remarkable one to this day there are still people 167 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: out there trying to pretend that this was a legitimate 168 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: investigation despite all that we now know about it. Unbelievable 169 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: great reporting as always, John Solomon, just thenews dot com 170 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: editor in chief.

Well, 190 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: my reason for my call today is, you know, I 191 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: grew up in California, long ago San Diego border. There. 192 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 1: I remember the good times when we could go across 193 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: the border. We could go have fun, we could go 194 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: for meals, we could go leather shopping. It was good times. 195 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: I moved to Pennsylvania in nineteen ninety five for the 196 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: reasons of the California politics and of course home pricing. 197 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 1: I wanted to be, you know, have a good place 198 00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 1: to live. And you know recently here with what's going 199 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: along on the border down you know, in Brownsville, Matta Morris, 200 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: Mexico with the kidnapping down there. And I know I 201 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: heard Lindsey Graham mentioned that he was going to put 202 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: forth some legislation, and you know, my thoughts are, what 203 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 1: about annexing parts of the border there, annexing parts of Mexico? 204 00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: You know driver our military. No, I don't think we 205 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: need to annex parts of Mexico. What we do need 206 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: to do, number one, go back to the Trump policies 207 00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: that worked and secure the border. Here's the second thing, 208 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: and I think this is where I think this is 209 00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: what Lindsay is really saying, is you dare take an 210 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: American hostage. We're sending our best military special opts and 211 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: to rescue them. And there's not a damn thing you're 212 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: going to do to lift a finger to stop it. 213 00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: That's it. You take an American hostage, We're coming for them. 214 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 1: That's what that That to me is the attitude you 215 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 1: have to have. And I don't care if they like 216 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: it or not. What's that, sir? Definitely be more forceful. 217 00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: I mean, how would you feel if it was your child, 218 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, that was kidnapped, and as in Mexico in 219 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: some you know, god forsaken place, you want to bring 220 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: your kid home. Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean that's a 221 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: scary time, scary place. And you know it would be 222 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: nice even for our fellow workers that travel back across 223 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 1: and forts Mexico into the United States to work and 224 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: they go back home. You know, they need to have 225 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,719 Speaker 1: a safe crossing too. Listen. I have no problem with 226 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: going to Mexico. Mexico buy in large. I think the 227 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: people of phenomenal. I lived down at the close to 228 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 1: the border when I lived in Santa Barbara. It has 229 00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: some really really cool places to go visit. Unfortunately, there 230 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: are some very very unsafe cities there as well. There 231 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: is a real rise in these cartels and the powers 232 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: of these cartels. It's not good. And I just think 233 00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: that it's unfortunate because you know, Mexico should be could 234 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: be a great ally of ours in many ways they 235 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: have been. Under Donald Trump, he insisted that they be 236 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: better allies, and he got rid of NAFTA and he 237 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 1: got a better trade deal. Hence, the better trade deal 238 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 1: means more money for the US. Mexico paid for part 239 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 1: of the wall, you know, just do the simple math there. 240 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 1: And I think they should be more helpful as it 241 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: relates to the illegal immigration problem we have in this country. 242 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: They should be stopping people from Central America and elsewhere 243 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: that are going into their country to make it our country. 244 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,360 Speaker 1: They need to stop the illegal immigration migration there first, 245 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: and they're not doing their job. And I would insist 246 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 1: on it if I was president, but I'm never going 247 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: to be president. So well, I I appreciated uh Trump 248 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: being our president. I thought he did a great job. 249 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: I still stand behind him. I still think he's a 250 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 1: very smart man. And you know you, I don't think 251 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: I never saw anybody in my life get the crap 252 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: kicked out of him more unfairly than him. I really have. 253 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like it in my life. Yeah, 254 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: it's it's wrong, it's it's totally it's crooked, yep. Um. 255 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 1: It discussed me every day just to think that. You know, 256 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: for instance, if I was to be subpoena in front 257 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: of Congress and I lied to Congress, that would be 258 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: a perjury charge if they lied to me. It's just politics, 259 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: You're right, How does that work? Fair? Listen, if you're 260 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: a Conservative and you spit on the sidewalk, they will 261 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: arrest you. If you're Jaywalk, they will arrest you. If 262 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: you're Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Hunter Biden. You know, if 263 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: you're a Democrat, you know what, the bar is so 264 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 1: much higher. They enforce laws seemingly against people that they 265 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: don't like politically. And that's what Jim Jordan is investigating 266 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: in the Judiciary Committee as it relates to whether or 267 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: not the FBI is politicized and the DOJ weaponized.

I was just wondering, 334 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, things like we live in a like an 335 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: era of no accountability, and this might be somewhat repetitive. 336 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: I cut the end of your previous color, so forgive 337 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: me if that's the case. But I missed that last part. 338 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,679 Speaker 1: What's the case or you know, like accountability in general. Yeah, 339 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: so I feel like you know you you probably you 340 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: have a lot of conversations on air and off the air, 341 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,960 Speaker 1: But what is you know, what is your take on 342 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: the probability of holding our politicians acountable for consistent today? 343 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:03,600 Speaker 1: On both sides of the aisle, for that matter, I 344 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 1: think the left probably said a lot of what we 345 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: have to say on the right in terms of that. Now, 346 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 1: I will tell you this, when the GOP is weak, 347 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: I will tell you when I disagree with the Republicans. 348 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,080 Speaker 1: I have not been shy over the years in my criticism. 349 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 1: I've been not been shy about my feelings about say 350 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell over the years, or about John Bayner or 351 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: other you know, Rhino Republicans. I just have not been shy. 352 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: But I'll tell you for example, the first House hearing 353 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: on the Biden administration's Afghanistan withdrawal disaster is happening. We 354 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 1: have the judiciary investigating the FBI if it's politicized and 355 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,960 Speaker 1: the DOJ of his weaponized. We have the origins of 356 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,679 Speaker 1: COVID now being investigated in the next By the end 357 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: of this week, there'll be eight hearings on eight separate 358 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: subjects that need to be investigated. Uh. Kevin McCarthy went 359 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:06,800 Speaker 1: on offense forcing Senate Democrats into really really tough votes 360 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,680 Speaker 1: for example pensions and investing in ESG, etc. Which is 361 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: a dumb idea. The also the push for a stalled 362 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: stock trading ban of these you know politicians. You know, 363 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 1: they go in with no money and they come out millionaires. 364 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,880 Speaker 1: How does that happen? Uh, they're picking a fight now. 365 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,080 Speaker 1: They're also investigating zero Experience Hunter and the and the 366 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: Biden family syndicate. Uh, they're looking into the National Archives 367 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: and listen, they're they're even looking into the harassment of 368 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: Elon Musk, you know twelve they're demanding his personal emails 369 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 1: over what they're demanding to know? You know, every single 370 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,800 Speaker 1: reporter that he hired to put out the Twitter files. 371 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: Why because it exposed an effort of the FBI to 372 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 1: silence big tech companies about the Hunter Biden laptop that 373 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 1: they knew had in their possession since December twenty nineteen. 374 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. And by the way Jim 375 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 1: Jordan said it, he said, they may use the power 376 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: of the purse and defund aspects of the FBI that 377 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: if they're abusing power, and I believe they are so, 378 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,040 Speaker 1: I mean to their credit. Now they're gonna have to 379 00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:22,719 Speaker 1: find a way a plan that the majority to eighteen 380 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 1: at least will agree on. With the debt ceiling debate, 381 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: that's not going to be an easy lift. It should 382 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 1: be related to spending. In my view, I would like 383 00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: to go back to the Spending Reduction Act and automatic 384 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: cuts known as sequestration. I think that would be a 385 00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,400 Speaker 1: good start. We'll see what they If they can pull 386 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,119 Speaker 1: that off, that's going to be a heavy lift for 387 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: McCarthy and the leadership. I would like to think the 388 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,360 Speaker 1: Republicans are smart enough to know that they're gonna win 389 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: together or they're gonna fail together. They win or lose. 390 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: There's not going to be any in between. And the 391 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: only way they're gonna win is to unite. And that 392 00:21:57,800 --> 00:21:59,719 Speaker 1: means you're not going to get everything you want, But 393 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 1: as long as you're making progress in keeping your promises, 394 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm going to be pretty happy with that. And that's 395 00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: what I want to see happen. So, yes, the right 396 00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 1: needs to I don't see a single thing that the 397 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,720 Speaker 1: left is doing that I like right now, I can't 398 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,680 Speaker 1: think of one, can you. No, not at all, not 399 00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: at all. It seems like a one bad decision after another. 400 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: And I'm kind of hoping that maybe, you know, maybe 401 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: going forward, you know, if Trump and descantists can kind 402 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,159 Speaker 1: of you know, put differences aside and work for the 403 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 1: good of us, they make it pretty good team. But 404 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 1: don't know how likely that is. Yeah, some good decision 405 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: makers up front. Listen where we have an opportunity. I 406 00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 1: think if Republicans take the advice that I'm pushing as 407 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: hard as I can on reconfiguring how they approach elections, 408 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,879 Speaker 1: and they learn a lesson from the Democrats. Democrats they 409 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: spend hundreds of millions of negative ads and they hide 410 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: and they spend the rest of the time out there 411 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: doing ballot harvesting, which is legal in many many states 412 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: across this country, legal ballot harvesting. They've got to get 413 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: in that game. They got to overcome their reluctance and 414 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 1: resistance towards early voting and voting by mail. And you 415 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 1: can't start out any election race down by hundreds of 416 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,560 Speaker 1: thousands of votes and expect to win on election day. 417 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: What if it rains on election day? You're screwed. You 418 00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:25,400 Speaker 1: know what, if it's bad weather, inclement weather, you're screwed. 419 00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 1: It's by the way, this is not the system I want. 420 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 1: I would prefer, you know, paper ballots, same day voting, 421 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: with the rare exception of the military, people that are infirmed, 422 00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,119 Speaker 1: or people that are out of town or out of 423 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 1: the country on business, but shorter that make it a 424 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: national holiday so everyone can go vote, have partisan observers 425 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,679 Speaker 1: in every precinct watching the voting, and when the polls closed, 426 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: partisan observers watching up close all the vote counting. That's 427 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: what I like to see. It's not that complicated. That would, 428 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: to me instill the most integrity in the system. Can 429 00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: nobody can complain it's not fair. That's fair include you know, 430 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 1: voter ID, signature verification, chain of custody, controls, updated voter rolls, 431 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,000 Speaker 1: just basic common sense of measures. And if Democrats the 432 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 1: only reason they're complaining is because they think they do 433 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 1: better without signature verification. They think they'll do better without 434 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: voter ID. I vote in New York State and I 435 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:27,800 Speaker 1: don't have to show anybody anything. I go to the 436 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 1: same place. It's usually the same people that I see 437 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: every time. I vote every election season. They're like him, 438 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: mister Hannity, and I start to pull out my wallet 439 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: and pull out my license. No, no, no, we don't 440 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: need it. I'm like, wow, unbelievable. Unbelievable the rest of 441 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,159 Speaker 1: our votes. When you know, when you can't prev you are, 442 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, it really just makes you think your 443 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: voice is not really being heard. And then when you 444 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: see people that are that are voted in, you think, 445 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: and that's the best they've got, which is hard to believe, 446 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: you know. So it's it's very question these days. Listen. 447 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 1: It is the thing is even the people that maybe 448 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 1: have bought into the New Green Deal socialist climate alarmist 449 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 1: cult lies. You know, at some point facts begin to 450 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 1: speak for themselves. And when you have to go into 451 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: your retirement and account just to make ends meet, and 452 00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,800 Speaker 1: you have to put bair necessities on your credit card 453 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: at a twenty two percent interest rate, and you were 454 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: promised that everything was going to be free and it's not. 455 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: I think they're going to get religion faster than you think. 456 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 1: We have experimented with this kind of socialism before and 457 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: it never works. You know, I wrote a whole chapter 458 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 1: and live free or die, socialism and its history of failure. 459 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: Whatever name, whatever manifestation it takes, whatever you want to 460 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: call it, it always ends the same way. Unfulfilled promises, 461 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 1: more poverty and a loss of freedom. That's it, you know, 462 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: I say it often because it needs to be set often. Jeff, 463 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: thank you, my friend, God bless you. We'll go next 464 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 1: door to Texas. David is standing by. Hey, David, how 465 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: are you glad you called? Well? Good afternoon, Thank you 466 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: for taking my call. Yes, sir, Sean, I'm a I'm 467 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: a truck driver, former schoolteacher, actually on a truck driver. 468 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 1: So I listened to you all the time. And now 469 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,639 Speaker 1: are you an on an operator or are you working 470 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 1: for a company? Now, I work for a company. Oh good, 471 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 1: you're doing okay, Oh doing great. But my concern I'm 472 00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 1: hearing what you're saying about how we need to match 473 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: the left and voter harvesting or ballot harvesting and early 474 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: voting and all that. But my concern is what are 475 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 1: we gonna do about the trick that they're going to 476 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: have up their sleeves. You know, they're going to have 477 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: something up their sleeve, because it was so evident last 478 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 1: and the well let me give you an example what 479 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 1: they did in twenty twenty. A lot of states have 480 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 1: laws that say that partisan observers get to watch the 481 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: vote counting, and in twenty twenty, because of the pandemic, 482 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 1: there was no accommodation made to fulfill that law, that requirement. 483 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: That's not going to happen next time. In two thousand, 484 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, twenty twenty had happened. It's not gonna happen 485 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four. And if Republicans listen to me 486 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 1: on voting, early voting by mail, listen to me and 487 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: follow the laws of their stat as it relates to 488 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:34,360 Speaker 1: ballot harvesting and outperform the Democrats, and early voting will win. 489 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: Our ideas are better because Democrats they're winning without doing 490 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,879 Speaker 1: any town halls. They're winning without doing any press of hells, 491 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,080 Speaker 1: they're winning without kissing any babies, shaking any hands, doing 492 00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: any selfies, no town halls, no rallies, nobody would show 493 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: up anyway. They're winning by doing it that way. Now, 494 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,640 Speaker 1: we could keep, you know, wishing for another system and 495 00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: not match what they're doing the efforts they're doing, but 496 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: that's going to end likely in a loss, and I'm 497 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 1: a believer. You know whom we want shame on you, 498 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: whom we twice shame on us. Right now we know 499 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: what they did. Now let's match their efforts and surpass 500 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: their efforts and win elections. We have better ideas. Conservatism 501 00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 1: is a political philosophy that simply works. You know, simple 502 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: things like enforcing the law and our borders, which I'm 503 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,440 Speaker 1: sure you and Texas know all about. Simple things like 504 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: realizing a fundamental truth that, in the short term, meaning 505 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: the next couple of decades, the lifeblood of the world's 506 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: economy is going to be oil, gas, and coal, and 507 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: we have more of it than any other country, and 508 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: that means we should be producing all of our needs domestically. 509 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 1: That would mean a law and order and getting rid 510 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: of this defund no bail law mentality. It would mean 511 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: limited government. It means conservative justices that obey the constitution, 512 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: choice in schools, you know, these are all of these 513 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 1: things would work. We know how to fix things. You know. 514 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 1: The idea that we're even discussing biological men playing and 515 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:27,200 Speaker 1: women's sports is insanity to me. Common sense Americans don't 516 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 1: want that or CRT like they have it outlined in 517 00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:37,040 Speaker 1: Florida that incorporates I don't even like to use the 518 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,959 Speaker 1: word of a pejorative in the past that begins with 519 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 1: Q for gays and lesbians. Theory is part of the 520 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: CRT that they wanted to teach down there, or teaching 521 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: transgenderism and CRT to kids in kindergarten through third grade. 522 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 1: I mean, it's insane. You know. They said it's a 523 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: don't say gay bill. H No, the word gay was 524 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 1: never in that bill. All it's said was that you're 525 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 1: going to have age appropriate materials taught to kids in 526 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 1: kindergarten through third grade in Florida. That's all it was. 527 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 1: In other words, you're gonna talk about that stuff in 528 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,200 Speaker 1: second grade. What the hell is a second grader need 529 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: to learn about all this stuff? War? How about do 530 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: you teach them how to read and write and do 531 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: math and science and computers and history. You know, we 532 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: pay more per capita per student with the worst results. 533 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: Why don't we fix the system? We have? Conservatism works. 534 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: We believe in liberty, freedom, our Constitution, our First and 535 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,920 Speaker 1: second Amendment and every amendment. We believe in law and order, 536 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: safety and security. We believe in secure borders and controlling 537 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:47,640 Speaker 1: our borders and enforcing laws in our land. Our philosophy 538 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: is not complicated. It's just getting enough people to vote 539 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: in common sense conservatives that will fight to keep their promises. 540 00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: That's where That's what I'm urging people to now do. 541 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 1: But if we know, if they don't listen to this 542 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: admonition of mine, then don't expect any different result in 543 00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four. That's my admonition. So I'm saying it loudly. 544 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying it often. Hannity, you repeat yourself. You're damn right, 545 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,960 Speaker 1: I do, and I'm gonna repeat it every day until 546 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: everybody understands how important it is. Otherwise you're gonna get 547 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: the government you deserve, and it's gonna be worse than 548 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: it's ever been. That's right. We're going to get rid 549 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:31,080 Speaker 1: of that. Treason is traitors struck? Will you stop? Good grief?
