1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: All right, as we come to you. We are in Hanoi, 2 00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: we're in Vietnam. We're on little sleep, but a lot 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: of adrenaline. Right, Donald, to free telephone number. We will 4 00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: get to your calls throughout the program today. I think 5 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: we're gonna have our crew to what are you going 6 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: to remember the most, because we're all just talking about it, 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,080 Speaker 1: about this trip, and we got a lot of us 8 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 1: here in the room, believe it or not, and so 9 00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: we'll get to that. I'm gonna bring you behind the 10 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: scenes of what was happening here. And it is amazing, 11 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:36,520 Speaker 1: as I was describing yesterday, how we have one party 12 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: in this country that is only only focus is hating 13 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. And what these Democrats did yesterday is just 14 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: the latest example, you know, they claim, just look at 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: the recent examples. They claim for years they care about 16 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 1: Dreamers in Dhaka and the second term of Obama, they're 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: funding a board wall. But now they're immoral and when 18 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: the President offers Dreamers and DACA and a deal, they 19 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: won't even sit down with him. So they don't care 20 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: about dreamers and DACA. They claim, what about the furloughed employees, Well, 21 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: if they would have sat down with the president. The 22 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,640 Speaker 1: furloughed employees could have gotten paid a lot sooner, but 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: they didn't care because this was their opportunity, their main 24 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: their main agenda item is to bludge and trump, you 25 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: know second, every second, every minute, every hour, every day. 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 1: As I say, and look at look at the issue. 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: Just look at the comparison. You got a lieutenant governor 28 00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: now of the Commonwealth of Virginia accused of rape and 29 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: serious sexual assault. Where are all the eye believers in 30 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh case. They have gone virtually silent because it's 31 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: not the issue that they pretend to care so much about. 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: It's the opportunity to bludgeon but political purposes. And there 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: are so many other examples of that. And you see 34 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: this here. I you know, think back, I remember it 35 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: would always be the John Lennon, you know, let's dream 36 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: of peace, give piece a chance. I dream of a 37 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: world without nukes. I mean, it was a long time 38 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: ago where you know, the Democratic parties swung not quite 39 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: as hard as where they are today, but they wanted 40 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 1: the United States of America to unilaterally disarm our nuclear capability, 41 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 1: which means we're sitting ducks. You can't defend liberty and freedom. 42 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: Guess what you're not going to keep liberty and freedom? 43 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Last century? One hundred million souls dead as a result 44 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: of government tyranny and oppression and dictatorship and despots. One 45 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: hundred million. You know. Just take time one day and 46 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 1: go on nat GEO on demand and watch their their 47 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 1: amazing series that they have on issues involving Yeah, what 48 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: I want is the article about what democrats said about Yeah, 49 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: there you go, the amazing series on World War Two. 50 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: My father fought World War two. I'm just fascinated with 51 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: all of it. You think how far Hitler got, and 52 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: you think how many died, and you think of you know, fascism, Nazism, communism, 53 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: aligning communism for a long time, the former Soviet Union 54 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: until of course Hitler invaded Russia, and you think of 55 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: all of the people dead as a result. And if 56 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: it's not for the United States of America, and a 57 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: guy by the name of Winston Churchill probably one of, 58 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: if not the most courageous historic figure ever. When the 59 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: bombing of Britain is going on, every day's walking among 60 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: the people. He's among the people. Okay, you think in 61 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: any other country, the president, the Prime Minister of that 62 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: country is they're gonna do such a thing anyway. So 63 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: you see this this contrast that I talk about. I 64 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: said I want you to really yesterday, I said, I 65 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: want you to just absorb this moment. It is so defining, 66 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna look back at this moment 67 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: and we are going to remember that they're so petty, 68 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 1: they're they're they're like petulant kids and they can't even 69 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: they're you ever have you deny a kid a cookie? 70 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: You know, you think about the kid is fixated on 71 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: the cookie, not least the kid is mature enough eventually. 72 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: You know, I've I've watched Linda discipline her son Liam 73 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: sometimes leap my, Mommy said what what did? Mommy said? What? 74 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: All right? Well, you know what happens say I don't 75 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: have a good method. Is that what I should be 76 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: taking from that? One? Two? And then it always stops 77 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: it too, And then it's like Liam, Liam, you know 78 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 1: what if Mommy gets to three? You know what happens 79 00:05:04,600 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: when I get to three? Okay? Liam? One? You know 80 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't work on so clearly I need a new 81 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 1: method because you don't listen to either okay, and never 82 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: gets to three. So Liam just keeps doing what Liam 83 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 1: wants to do, and he wins. I do all men 84 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: in my life. Oh wow. Um. But we're gonna look 85 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: back in this moment and we're gonna say, wow, the petulant, 86 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: immature child. There's a lack of seriousness among people that 87 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: claim to be leaders, that claim to want to keep 88 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: us safe and secure. A hypocrisy at a spectacular level. 89 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: And those are only two issues that happened recently. And 90 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: all the years that Democrats think and say that they 91 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: want a world free of nukes. You know, I'll give 92 00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: you some examples. Then I'm gonna go back to twenty fifteen. 93 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: Who is the president in twenty fifteen? Baracus saying Obama? 94 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: And you know if this is like the big hypocrisy 95 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: of the Water's edge, and I got it, thanks, And 96 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 1: Washington Post ran a headline Harry Reid Republicans trying to 97 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: directly intervene with Obama's Iranian talks, and he said, lashing 98 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: out at a letter released by forty seven Senate Republicans 99 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,360 Speaker 1: warning Iranian leaders against the deal with Western powers as 100 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: a hard slap in the face to Obama's most insane proposal. 101 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: This makes you know Neville, Chamberlain, and Munich in peace 102 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: in our time? Just how do you ever give Iranian 103 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: Mullers the chant death to America, death to Israel, threatened 104 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: to wipe Israel off the map, wipe the United States 105 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: off the map. How do you just say, Okay, well, 106 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: we're gonna give you all this money. We just expect 107 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: you to be nicer to us, Okay, and and that's it. 108 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 1: We'll go happily ever after, off into the meadows. And 109 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: you know it's life is going to be sunshine, rainbows 110 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: and cotton candy and starbursts, skinnels. I'm trying to be 111 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 1: more modern. I could have said, oh, Henry, what do 112 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: you call it? Oh Henry Barr remember those milky ways? 113 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: But you know, read this is this is not a 114 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 1: time to undermine our commander in chief, purely out of spite. 115 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: That's what Democrats were saying in twenty fifteen. It's an 116 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:37,320 Speaker 1: unprecedented It's unprecedented for one political party to directly intervene 117 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 1: in an international negotiation with the sole goal of embarrassing 118 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: the President of the United States. What was yesterday all 119 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: about this circus with Michael Khane. They couldn't do it 120 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:55,240 Speaker 1: on any other day. Really, you know, Oh Diane Feinstein, 121 00:07:55,360 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: I believe herself quiet about the Virginia Lieutenant governor. This 122 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: is a highly inappropriate, unprecedented incursion into the president's prerogative 123 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: to conduct foreign affairs and is not benefiting this chamber 124 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: or befitting this chamber. Oh crazy Uncle Joe Biden, that 125 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: Republicans ignore two centuries of precedent and threatened to undermine 126 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: the ability of any future president to negotiate with foreign countries. 127 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: And Washington Post Pelosi constant talk of impeachment hurts the 128 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 1: US standing abroad. You can't make all of this up. 129 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: I got another Pelosi quote Washington Post in twenty fourteen. 130 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,839 Speaker 1: It's a cost to our reputation in the world that 131 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: once we get a new president, we will find a 132 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 1: reason to impeach him. They're describing themselves on a level 133 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 1: we've never seen before. President at the press conference early 134 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 1: this morning, I almost of you probably are sleeping. I 135 00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: hope you are, but I enjoyed being there. It was 136 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: actually really fun. And the President said this should never happen. 137 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: What we have gone through the day that we went through, 138 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: where you have people trying to bludgeon him damage him 139 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: he is abroad. And this is not some small stakes negotiation. 140 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: This is about safety, security for future generations. This is 141 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: about denuclearization of the entire Korean peninsula. This would benefit 142 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: your children and grandchildren. This would make the world not 143 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 1: totally safe, but a safer place. And if you think 144 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 1: that horrible things can't happen in war, I urge you 145 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,839 Speaker 1: to go google how many human souls were destroyed in 146 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 1: the last hundred years, the prior century. How many because 147 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:05,200 Speaker 1: of fascism, Nazism, communism, Imperial Japan, dictators, despots, Paul Pot, 148 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: killing fields, Stalin's Russia, you know, the Holocaust, World War two. 149 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: I think of the cost involved, the human tragedy, human 150 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: souls as a result of all this. But that's where 151 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,439 Speaker 1: their mind is that and if it's not there, and 152 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 1: they're just focused on literally taking the greatest governmental system 153 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 1: ever designed by man, one predicated on a belief that 154 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: we're endowed by our creator, which is a system of 155 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: belief that believes in the individual and talents and freedom 156 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 1: and not government security from the minute you're born to 157 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: the minute you die. Although I guess now that's even 158 00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: in questions considering Democrats clearly obsessed with not just late 159 00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: term abortion, but now abortion up to the moment of birth, 160 00:10:56,360 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: or even maybe after a woman's dilating, or a governor 161 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 1: that would actually suggest that, well, first we'll deliver the baby, 162 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: We'll make sure the baby's comfortable, and then the mother 163 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: will decide if the baby needs any type of resuscitation. 164 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: That we'll let the mom decide whether the baby lives 165 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: or dies, and then we'll have a discussion later, maybe 166 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 1: tea and crumpets, maybe a cocktail with the doctor and 167 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 1: the mother after the kid either lived or died, whether 168 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: her thumb went up or down. Sounds like, what is 169 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 1: this gladiator? This is a Roman? You know? Is this 170 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: Caesar and the Games of Rome that we're talking about? Hmm, 171 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: let me decide, Oh do I like the color of 172 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: the eyes hair? Imagine? Think of how liberals love to 173 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: talk about animals. Would they ever do that to a cat? 174 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,800 Speaker 1: A dog? How do you get to the point, It's 175 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: not about abortion. This is infanticide. This is a living 176 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: human soul that represents everything that is innocent. If we 177 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: as a society don't protect that it is, it's so 178 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: defines us in a way. I'd never want to be defined, 179 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: all right, gotta take a quick break. I'm gonna bring 180 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 1: him behind the scenes. I interviewed the president. It was 181 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: the only interview that he gave immediately following, and I 182 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: was so glad the President walked away and I'll tell 183 00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: you why, and I'll explain all of that. I also 184 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: after I so the President comes back, I do the interview. 185 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: I go out into the press room like I did 186 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:57,000 Speaker 1: in Singapore watching the press conference, and I got called 187 00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 1: on by the President, which was pretty cool. I'm sure 188 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the hate Trump media mob love that, mister President. Jimmy 189 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: and cost secretary. Good to see you, mister president. If 190 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: you can elaborate a little bit more. All right, No, 191 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: we'll get to that in a second. All right, well, listen, 192 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 1: we are in Vietnam. We're also gonna have Jim Jordan 193 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: is going to join us. Wow, he was a rock star. 194 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: Mark Meadows yesterday. They were both great. You know, there 195 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: were more than thirty four million American smokers. I bet 196 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: that finding a satisfying alternative to cigarettes is at the 197 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: top of your list if you're a smoker. Look, I've 198 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: been there before, but after many years of smoking, I 199 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: finally made the switch to Jewel is no more worrying 200 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,560 Speaker 1: about the way my clothes smell, worrying about what people 201 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: are gonna say. With Jewel, everything is so much easier Now. 202 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 1: Jewel is a vaporizer that contains nicotine for a satisfying transition. 203 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: When I found Jewel, it was a complete game changer. 204 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: Jewel was designed by smokers for smokers to be an 205 00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: alternative to cigarettes. From it's simple to use interface to 206 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 1: its clean technology. Well, Jewel has no cigarette ash, odor 207 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,000 Speaker 1: or mess. So if you're one of the thirty four 208 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: million adults who smoke, know that there is an alternative 209 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 1: to cigarettes. How to discover the smoking alternative that's nothing 210 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: like you've tried, Visit Juul dot com slash switch America. 211 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: That's Juul dot com slash switch America. And warning, this 212 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: product does contain nicotine, and nicotine is an addictive chemical. 213 00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: All right, As we roll along from Hanoi, we're in Vietnam. 214 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: Amazing things happened yesterday, and it was while all this 215 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: chaos and insanity is going on in Washington. The President here, 216 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: he is some twenty plus hours in the air from 217 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: wheels up to wheels down, negotiating something that could pay 218 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 1: deep dividends for generations to come. And you look at 219 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 1: the shallow, the pettiness, the partisanship, the obsessive, compulsive, psychotic, 220 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: NonStop hatred of the medium mob and the democratic mob 221 00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: against the president. All of that's happened. But what the 222 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 1: president did is even was it still is such an 223 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: unbelievable lesson. The President, as usual, telegraphs everything that he's thinking, 224 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: everything that he's going to do. If the media ever 225 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: really wanted to know the mind of Donald Trump, instead 226 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: of speculating that somehow old Donald Trump must be listening 227 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity. No, like on the wall issue of 228 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: the emergency declaration, No, he wasn't listening to me. You 229 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: out there in the fake media, the hate Trump media mob, 230 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: you weren't listening to him because he kept saying it 231 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 1: again and again and again. The only difference between me 232 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: and you is I actually listened, and you can't filter 233 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: it through the prism of hatred and your worldview of 234 00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,240 Speaker 1: disgust with all things Trump. Well, it's the same thing 235 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: would happened here in Vietnam. Have been saying all I 236 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: want the right deal. I don't want any deal. I 237 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: want the right deal, not the right deal. I'm not 238 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,640 Speaker 1: going to take anything that's not the right deal. And 239 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: I have one bit of advice and then I'll go 240 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 1: into more detail on the other side of this break. 241 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: If they really want to know the mind of Donald Trump, 242 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: I'm giving them helpful hints on how to be better hosts, 243 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 1: but they won't do it. Read the art of the deal. 244 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: One of the main points is when you negotiate, you're 245 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: always willing to walk away up to the last second. 246 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: That's what he did well, and we're working towards something, 247 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: but we didn't sign anything today. It didn't quite work out. 248 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 1: I would say that I wasn't satisfied, and perhaps he 249 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: wasn't satisfied. Good relationship, but I decided that this wasn't 250 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: the right time to sign something. So we'll see what 251 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: happens over a period of time. Well, they wanted to 252 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: denuke certain areas and I wanted everything, and the sanctions 253 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,040 Speaker 1: are there, and I didn't want to give up the 254 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 1: sanctions unless we had a real program, and they're not 255 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: ready for that. And I understand that fully, I really do. 256 00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they spent a lot of time building it, 257 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: and that doesn't mean the world has to be happy, 258 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,080 Speaker 1: but I wanted them to d nuke. As far as 259 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: Cone is concerned, he's convicted. He's a liar, he's defrauded 260 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: at a high level. He's got a lot of problems. 261 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: And you know, it was very interesting because he lied 262 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 1: so much. I watched some of it, actually was able 263 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: to watch some of it. He lied so much, and 264 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: yet he said when it came to collusion, the whole 265 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: hoax with the Russia collusion, it's just a witch hunt hoax. 266 00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 1: And y by the way, very very bad for our 267 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: country because it really stops you from doing what you said. 268 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: He said, no collusion. All right. That is a part 269 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: of my interview that will air in its entirety. It 270 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: was the only interview that the president gave or a 271 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: summit with Kim Jong un. We do cover a lot 272 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 1: of ground. We cover Michael Coomb, we cover the Muller Report, 273 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: we cover immigration, we cover the New Green Deal. We 274 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: cover obviously the behind the scenes and everything that happened. 275 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:20,640 Speaker 1: I know that it's it's sort this is so reminiscent 276 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 1: in my mind what happened with Reagan and Reikyovik. And 277 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, there is an expectation among the left 278 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: and especially the hate Trump media mob that if you 279 00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: go to a high risk summit for something really big, 280 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: deep and profound, that if you don't get the deal, 281 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:47,840 Speaker 1: that somehow that wow, that was a failure, when really 282 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: in the history showed us with reiky Evik and Reagan 283 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: and Gorbachoff, that's not the case, and it's not the 284 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: case here in Vietnam either, you know, I was saying 285 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: just before we went to the I said, the media 286 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 1: never wants to know Donald Trump. They can't get filtered 287 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: through the prism of compulsive, psychotic hatred that they have 288 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 1: for him every second, minute, hour of every day. I 289 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: wasn't watching any TV. There's not a lot of American 290 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: TV here. They have fake news CNN on. But I 291 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: was told that back in the States that while the 292 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: President is literally shaking hand, sitting with Kim Jong un, 293 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: hopefully making the world a better place, that the media 294 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: couldn't barely break away for a second from their Michael 295 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: Khone coverage. And Michael Kone, by the way, as I predicted, 296 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: and we'll get to this later when Jim Jordan joins US. 297 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 1: Michael Kone now has two criminal referrals as a result 298 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: of being used by the Democratic Party, because no anybody 299 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: that cared one lick about Michael khone would never, ever, ever, 300 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: ever ever allowed him to raise his right hand and 301 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: go under oath again and risk another lying to Congress felony. 302 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,720 Speaker 1: You know, you would think three years in jail. These 303 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 1: remember all of these Democrats. We played a montage the 304 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: other night on TV. They hate Michael Kohne. They hated 305 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: this guy. But now that they can use them, they're 306 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: going to use them. And sadly they are now two 307 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: criminal referrals, one about not registering the Foreign Registration Act, 308 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: which became a big issue in the Paul Manapour case, 309 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: as you know. And the other is there's issues involving 310 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: false statements that he made the very thing that he 311 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,760 Speaker 1: got in trouble for and admitted to in the past. Like, 312 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: for example, there's apparently one hundred people that would testify 313 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: and contradict his statement that he never wanted to work 314 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,200 Speaker 1: in the White House. That's easily something that's going to 315 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: be provable. Or the women for cone Twitter account. You know, 316 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm told that he paid by Chuck the person that 317 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,680 Speaker 1: set it up, or you know, the fire disclosure. That's 318 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a big thing or that I can tell 319 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: you that Donald Trump didn't want to win? Are you kidding? 320 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 1: He was obsessed with winning. Well, no person, if you 321 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: didn't have a desire to win, and this was just 322 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 1: a marketing opportunity for you, why would you ever travel 323 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: like Donald Trump traveled in the final days in the 324 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 1: lead up to the twenty sixteen election. And I can 325 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: tell you another thing, because I was on the road 326 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,199 Speaker 1: a lot. You know, if I ever was talking to 327 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 1: him and I'd say, Monald, and you won't win, you 328 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: got his attention. One thing, Donald Trump never wants to 329 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: lose ever, ever, ever. But again, they don't want to 330 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: know who Donald Trumps, and they bring up all these 331 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: other issues. You know, I just happened to know a 332 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: couple of books. I was dragged into that case. And 333 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: I'll say, to Michael Cohm's credit that Michael Combe and 334 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: his lawyers said that I was a third client in 335 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: the courtroom. And I've never been his client. We've never 336 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,399 Speaker 1: We've never had that relationship or anything that resembles in 337 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: any possible way. He was never my lawyer. He never 338 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:19,920 Speaker 1: ever was involved in any legal issue in my life period. 339 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,879 Speaker 1: And remember the circumstances because he had two clients and 340 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: one was the issue of Stormy Daniels and the other 341 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 1: was some guy with a playboy or penthouse model, whatever payment. 342 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: And the meeting said, oh, he probably fixed something for Hannity. 343 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: Hannity's got that problem. Let's crush Hannity. And I had 344 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: to go out immediately with I think we tweeted it 345 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 1: out that day. Remember it came half on like five 346 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to three and before radio one day. I think it 347 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,760 Speaker 1: was the worst twenty minutes of radio I did. Because 348 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,560 Speaker 1: I'm not paying attention, I'm half writing the response that 349 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: this is false, that he's never been my lawyer. He's 350 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 1: never worked on any case, especially in any case involving 351 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:01,000 Speaker 1: a third party. And I've never retained him, I've never 352 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: been billed by him, I've never paid him. And I 353 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: just was putting out every single solitary thing. I said, Oh, 354 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: maybe once I might have asked him a question about 355 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 1: real estate, not even a legal question, and the media 356 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: went went nuts. He still said the name Sean Hannity. 357 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: How did he say it? It was like Hanny with 358 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:27,719 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, Sean Hanny, Hanny, Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity, 359 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, John Hanny, Hanny, Sean Hannity, Hanny Hanny, Sean Hannity, 360 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity, Sean Hanny, Hanny, hann Johnny Hannity, John Hannity, Hany, Hanny, Hanny, 361 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:50,719 Speaker 1: See Hanny, Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity, Sean Hannity, John Hay, 362 00:23:52,720 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 1: Johnny hann John Hanny, Johnny. Look, you know, I'm in 363 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: radio thirty years, I've been on Fox twenty three years, 364 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 1: and I kind of you build up immunity to this 365 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 1: sort of thing, and it never upset me. It disappointed me, 366 00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: and he did apologize to me personally, which I accepted 367 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: his apology, and I've looked at it like, Okay, this 368 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: guy's got enough going on in his life. He's got 369 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: a wife, he's got two kids, and he has to 370 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: be living through hell, and I just dropped it. That 371 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 1: was the end of it for me, and I think 372 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 1: it was the right thing to do, and I didn't 373 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 1: regret my decision in any way. But you know, there's 374 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: certain things that I know that we're coming out yesterday. 375 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:46,639 Speaker 1: I mean I remember specifically asking him both privately, but 376 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: a number of times about this deal. I've never told 377 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: the President anything about this deal. I use my own money. 378 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: I know he never knew, never told him. I must 379 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: have said that twelve, fourteen, fifteen times, and I know 380 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: I can name five of the people that he said 381 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: it too. So to put him in that position, knowing 382 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 1: what his life is going to be, it's pretty amazing. 383 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 1: But you juxtapose the pettiness, the superfluous nature of this, 384 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: the willingness to put somebody's life in jeopardy again for 385 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 1: your own political purposes, it's pretty outrageous to me. And 386 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: now that you're going to have two criminal referrals as 387 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,119 Speaker 1: a result of this. And I kept saying yesterday that 388 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: I think this is this is now a moment that 389 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,440 Speaker 1: will define America for many years to come because Americans 390 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: now the veil is being lifted off. Who this radical 391 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: extreme democratic socialist party, what they really believe in and 392 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: what their quote vision is for America And one of 393 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,840 Speaker 1: the great hypocrisies. I thought they would care about denuclearization 394 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: of the Korean peninsula. I know they support appeasement of 395 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: despots and dictators and people around the globe like the 396 00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 1: mall Is in Iran and Bill Clinton's this is a 397 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 1: good deal for American payball, you know, trying to bribe 398 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: Kim Jong ill, Kim Jong UN's father. He might listen, 399 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: it's a good deal for American people. Probably goes on 400 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:17,400 Speaker 1: and on. So what happened yesterday is if you pay 401 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 1: attention to Donald Trump and you listen to what he says, 402 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,800 Speaker 1: and he does all of these gaggles, you know, these 403 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,879 Speaker 1: scrums as we call them in the business. In the 404 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: Oval Office all the time, people said, well, why doesn't 405 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: Sarah Sanders have press conferences, because he's doing them all. 406 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: So the behind the scenes is the president, just like 407 00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 1: he telegraphed repeatedly that he would use the emergency declaration 408 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 1: on the wall, he was telegraphing here and before managing 409 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:52,240 Speaker 1: everybody's expectations that he will only take the right deal. 410 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 1: And that goes with the philosophy and his business acumen 411 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: that he has used his entire life and telegraphed in 412 00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 1: his booked The Art of the Deal. And maybe maybe 413 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 1: some of you have experienced this. If you are wanting 414 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,080 Speaker 1: a new house so bad, you're gonna overpay. If you 415 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,359 Speaker 1: are wanting that car so bad, you're dead, and people 416 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: sense it the president. You have to be willing to 417 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,560 Speaker 1: walk away. And the analogy with Reikievic, I think so 418 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 1: applicable here is liberals first said about Donald Trump, evil empire, 419 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,840 Speaker 1: later mister Carbert down this wall. They predicted he would 420 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: lead us California, cowboy, would lead us to a nuclear holocaust. 421 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: Reaganomics would would destroy the economy. They mocked it, and 422 00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: you know, or even George W. Bush with access of evil. 423 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,400 Speaker 1: And when the president started out, what were they predicting 424 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,480 Speaker 1: when he was saying, oh, little rocket man making fun 425 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 1: of Kim Jong un as he was firing one rocket 426 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: after another over Japan, and it started getting serious, and 427 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: then he started threatening Guam and the entire peninsula and 428 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,480 Speaker 1: the people of South Korea, and then started talking about 429 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: nukes that can reach the continental United States. And then 430 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 1: the President went out with sorry, little fire and fury, 431 00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:23,200 Speaker 1: little rocket man, and my buttons bigger than euros and 432 00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 1: my button works. So all of a suff Reagan walks 433 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 1: away from Rankievic and the same thing you know is 434 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: happening with others the media. Oh, you didn't get a deal. 435 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,879 Speaker 1: Why would you get a deal for the sake of 436 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 1: getting a deal. How is it in any way logical. 437 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: Now I know that they were willing to talk about 438 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: I think it called Young Byong is the official nuclear sight, 439 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,280 Speaker 1: the biggest one that they have in North Korea. He 440 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 1: was willing to dismantle that, but he wasn't willing to 441 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 1: dismantle all of his nuclear sights. And the president, and 442 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,200 Speaker 1: you'll see this tonight in the interview that I had 443 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 1: with him right after the summit, when he said, no, no, 444 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: I want full denuclearization, and that was the goal. Now, 445 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:12,280 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un did say when asked, are you willing 446 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,440 Speaker 1: to talk about and be involved in denuclearization? I wouldn't 447 00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:24,280 Speaker 1: be here otherwise if I wasn't, So clearly that was signaled. Also, 448 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: I asked the president and kind of teased everybody when 449 00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 1: he said, well, I hope the chairman says publicly what 450 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,120 Speaker 1: he said to us last night at dinner and what 451 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,920 Speaker 1: he said, I hope he says it publicly. And I 452 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 1: asked him about that, what had he said at dinner? 453 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,560 Speaker 1: So I think a lot of people really don't know 454 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,800 Speaker 1: what took place and why. Understanding is I pieced this 455 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: all together, is the President would never take a deal 456 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,840 Speaker 1: that didn't include full, complete, verifiable on site, location, on 457 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: demand with anybody. Otherwise, what good is it if you're 458 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: really going to lift the sanctions, open trade, a new 459 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: beginning set up, you know, diplomatic relations in Pyongyang in 460 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: the United States. If you're gonna do all of that, 461 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 1: you first got to get what you want. And the 462 00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 1: President was clear full denuclearization. To me, that is strength. 463 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: To me, that will lead to peace. To me, that 464 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: will end in success. To me, that is just simply 465 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: the right thing to do. To take a deal and 466 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 1: be able to waive a paper around, you know, or 467 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: declare like Neville Chamberlain, peace in our time, or to 468 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: drop billions of dollars on the tarmac of Iran, or 469 00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton bribing Kim Jong UN's father, Kim Jong Ill. 470 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 1: It never works. The only one that got the job 471 00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: done was the guy that said this is an evil empire. 472 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 1: The only guy that got the job done was the 473 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 1: guy that walked away from the table at Reikievic because 474 00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: he wasn't giving up strategic defense, which maybe years from 475 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 1: now we'll go down as Ronald Reagan's biggest, best, greatest legacy. 476 00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: We don't know what human events could evolve over time, 477 00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: and this will go down similarly in history. Is Kim 478 00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 1: Jong un got a message yesterday, this is the only 479 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 1: deal you're getting. You want sanctions lifted, you want economic 480 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: opportunity for your people. You've got to totally completely give 481 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: up your nukes. Otherwise what good would it be. President 482 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: goes into great detail on our interview tonight nine eastern 483 00:31:44,520 --> 00:31:47,600 Speaker 1: on the Fox News Channel, and we talk about a 484 00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. We also talk about the Michael Cohne hearing. 485 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 1: We talk about the Muller Report, people saying it might 486 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,520 Speaker 1: come out next week, and he has very strong statements 487 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: this should never happen to any other president again a 488 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: two year which hunt. We talk about the borders, We 489 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 1: talk about well the new Green Deal. Asked him about that. 490 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,000 Speaker 1: The only interview he gave will do that. And I 491 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,640 Speaker 1: also got to ask a question he called to me 492 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,040 Speaker 1: during the bigger press conference, which I thought was fu 493 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 1: Right now, we're too Sean Hannity Show as we continue 494 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: our coverage from Vietnam. The only interview the president gave 495 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 1: right after the summit with Kim Jong un is with 496 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: me and it will air in its entirety tonight nine 497 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 1: eastern on the Fox News Channel. I have said many 498 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: many times on this program that but for the guys 499 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: in the Freedom Caucus and a couple of senators, I 500 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 1: can name a handful that I look at. The Republican 501 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:51,440 Speaker 1: Party is weak, timid, at times, even spineless and visionless. 502 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:55,480 Speaker 1: And you know, they make all these grandiose promises, Ara, 503 00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 1: We're gonna repeal or replace Obamacare, and you get these phony, 504 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:03,479 Speaker 1: fake votes, show votes so that they can go home 505 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 1: and say they voted to repeal it, and then when 506 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: it matters, oh we can do that. No, And it's 507 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,680 Speaker 1: very frustrating, and I know it's very very frustrating for 508 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: all of you. I've always said I and most of 509 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: you know that I'm a registered Conservative in New York. 510 00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:24,320 Speaker 1: I know many of you would be registered as a 511 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 1: Conservative if you could in your state as well. But 512 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,160 Speaker 1: there really isn't an option with a new radical, extreme 513 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:34,440 Speaker 1: democratic socialist party. I mean, I'm a conservative, but I 514 00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: sometimes I suck it up a lot and I'll vote 515 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,479 Speaker 1: for people just because it's the lesser of two evils. 516 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:41,960 Speaker 1: It's not even close. If you're going to support the 517 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,480 Speaker 1: New Green Deal and the other guy isn't, I don't 518 00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: have to do a whole lot of thinking there but 519 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: it wasn't for the Freedom Caucus. They fight to keep 520 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:58,120 Speaker 1: their promises, they fight hard, they don't back down, they 521 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 1: stand on principle, and all of this was on display 522 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:07,520 Speaker 1: yesterday at the hearings. Well, we're going to be joined 523 00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,279 Speaker 1: by the Jim Jordan in a second. Let me Jim 524 00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 1: Jordan first going after Michael Kohen and what was an 525 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:17,040 Speaker 1: extremely powerful moment along with his closing statement, which I 526 00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:20,600 Speaker 1: thought was powerful. Listen to this. We know mister Cohen 527 00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 1: has been dishonest in the past, so why he's going 528 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: to prison in two months. But there are things today 529 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 1: that he said during the several hours of questioning that 530 00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:35,160 Speaker 1: just don't add up either. He said he never defrauded 531 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: any bank and he was having a conversation questioning from 532 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: mister Khmer. Obviously that's not true, because he's going to 533 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: prison for that very offense. Your first big hearing, the 534 00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: first announced witness of the one hundred and sixteenth Congress, 535 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,560 Speaker 1: is a gentleman who is going to prison in two 536 00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: months for lying to Congress. I don't think that's what 537 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,160 Speaker 1: we should be focused on. You have a history of 538 00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: lying over and over and over again, and frankly, you 539 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:03,879 Speaker 1: don't take my word for it, take what the court said, 540 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 1: take what the Southern District of New York said. Cohen 541 00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,440 Speaker 1: did crimes that were marked by a pattern of deception 542 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:13,760 Speaker 1: and that permeated his professional life. These crimes were distinct 543 00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: in their harms, but bear a common set of circumstances. 544 00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: They each involved deception, and were each each motivated by 545 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: personal greed and ambition, a pattern of deception for personal 546 00:35:26,760 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: greed and ambition. And you just got thirty minutes of 547 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: an opening statement where you trash the president of the 548 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:35,040 Speaker 1: United States of America. Mister Cohen, how long did how 549 00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: long did you work for Donald Trump? Approximately a decade? 550 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: Ten years, that's correct. And you said all these bad 551 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: things about the president there in that last thirty minutes, 552 00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 1: and yet you work for him for ten years, all 553 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,920 Speaker 1: those bad things. I mean, if it's that bad, I 554 00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,640 Speaker 1: can see you working for him for ten days, maybe 555 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:57,560 Speaker 1: ten weeks, maybe even ten months. But you work for 556 00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: him for ten years. Mister Cohen, how long did you? 557 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,840 Speaker 1: How long did you work in the White House? I 558 00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,279 Speaker 1: never worked in the White House. That's the point, isn't it, 559 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 1: mister Cullen, No, sir, yes it is. No, it's you 560 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: wanted to work in the White House. No Cirtain get 561 00:36:10,200 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 1: brought to the dance. I mean he just took it 562 00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: right to him. And this would not have happened, you know, 563 00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: without the Freedom Caucus. Now as a result, I had 564 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: predicted this would happen, that the Democrats were using Michael Kone. 565 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 1: Michael Kone was now anybody that that cared one lick 566 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: about Michael Kohane would never ever, ever on the eve 567 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: for two months away from three years in jail, let 568 00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:43,960 Speaker 1: him go under oath again with his history of telling 569 00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: lies and lyeing to Congress and on the loan application, etc. 570 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: Tax issue. Well, there's now two criminal referrals. We had 571 00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: one yesterday. He saw the exchange with him and Mark 572 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 1: Meadows about the issue of the Farah registration problem is, 573 00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 1: how do you say it wouldn't be applicable when they 574 00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:05,879 Speaker 1: brought it the whole thing up in the Paul Metaphor case. Well, 575 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: now Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows, who led the way 576 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,120 Speaker 1: for the committee yesterday, said they sent a letter and 577 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 1: now they first a criminal referral on the one issue, 578 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:17,719 Speaker 1: now another one as it relates to the going right 579 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,880 Speaker 1: to the Department of Justice. For perjury and knowingly making 580 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: false statements again, and the letter says that Cohns testimony 581 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:32,000 Speaker 1: was a spectacular, brazen attempt to knowingly and willingly testify 582 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: falsely and fictitiously to numerous material facts. His testimony included 583 00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,239 Speaker 1: intentionally false statements designed to make himself look better on 584 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,920 Speaker 1: a national stage. Mister Khones prior conviction for lying to 585 00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:48,520 Speaker 1: Congress merits a heightened suspicion that he is yet again 586 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:54,279 Speaker 1: testified falsely before Congress. Anyway, Jim Jordan is with us well. 587 00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: For example, the idea that he is a simple thing, 588 00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: like he didn't want to work for the administration. He 589 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,759 Speaker 1: didn't want a job they were apparently, I'm told there's 590 00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 1: a number of text messages that say just the opposite. Yeah, 591 00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,719 Speaker 1: thank you for those kind words. Um, and you're exactly right. 592 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: Why they would put Michael Cohen on the stand is 593 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:13,839 Speaker 1: beyond me. But I do think, and this is why 594 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,920 Speaker 1: Mark and I sent the letter today to the Attorney 595 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: General when we do think there was six occasions, and 596 00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:20,040 Speaker 1: the one that's most significant is the one you just 597 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 1: brought up, the idea that he did not want to 598 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 1: work at the White House. Even c Ann set. It 599 00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,840 Speaker 1: was widely known that he was seeking a position in 600 00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 1: the Trump administration but was not given one. So for 601 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 1: him to say no, sir, when we're asking that question 602 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,120 Speaker 1: and to deny it time and time again made no sense. 603 00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 1: And that's why we've sent the letter. We have along 604 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,360 Speaker 1: with five o five other situation where we think he 605 00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: said something different than what we know to be fact. Well, 606 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,520 Speaker 1: what are the other five examples you have? Well, one 607 00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,760 Speaker 1: of them is the whole Michael Cohen women for Cohen, 608 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 1: that that he had nothing to do with that he 609 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: paid the firm, and we've we've heard testimony from our 610 00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,880 Speaker 1: got statements from the firm itself that is not accurate. 611 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,240 Speaker 1: There's the situation you described that Mark brought up reletive 612 00:39:05,239 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: to how he filled out his disclosure form, and in 613 00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 1: the whole idea that foreign registration, there's that issue and 614 00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:14,480 Speaker 1: a host of others that we think weren't the Attorney 615 00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,680 Speaker 1: General of the United States looking into. And we've got 616 00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,719 Speaker 1: to come back to one basic thing too. This guy, 617 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:21,280 Speaker 1: we think in so ways it is almost delusional. Remember 618 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,960 Speaker 1: what he said yesterday in the hearing. He said, Michael Cohen, 619 00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: he said he himself was responsible for launching the Trump 620 00:39:27,960 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 1: for President campaign because in two thousand and eleven he 621 00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: put together some wet website for President Trump. I mean, 622 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:36,439 Speaker 1: this is craziness. But they put him on the stand. 623 00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:38,000 Speaker 1: He said all kinds of things that we think are 624 00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: again and not where not accurate. Listen, I don't want 625 00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,680 Speaker 1: to pile on m I hear you. But honestly, the 626 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:48,000 Speaker 1: idea that Michael Cohen thought that that Donald Trump would 627 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,920 Speaker 1: had no belief at all that he was gonna win 628 00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: or wanted to win, and he was viewing this all 629 00:39:53,160 --> 00:39:57,320 Speaker 1: as one big marketing opportunity that is so false that 630 00:39:57,560 --> 00:40:01,279 Speaker 1: it is it's beyond recognition. I'll tell you why. If 631 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,200 Speaker 1: you ever want to get the president's attention and during 632 00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:06,680 Speaker 1: the campaign, you know well you're not gonna win. If 633 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,440 Speaker 1: you ever say those words you got his attention, you bet, 634 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: because you bet. And I don't think he would have 635 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: traveled all of those cities and towns in the final 636 00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:19,200 Speaker 1: weeks of that campaign fighting that hard to lose. If 637 00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: you want to, let you could have done one stop 638 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,680 Speaker 1: a day. No, you're you're You're exactly right. I think 639 00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:27,640 Speaker 1: the Democrats they didn't care. I mean, what is your 640 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 1: and Lanny Davis has responded and saying he testified truthfully 641 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 1: before the House Oversight Committee took full responsibility. Also backed 642 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 1: up much of his testimony with documents. Those documents Sean, 643 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: You're exactly right there. They were using Michael Cohen. This 644 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 1: is step one in their crazy plan to impeach the president. 645 00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: Remember two fundamental facts. Last week, Tom Styre Megadona for 646 00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:51,720 Speaker 1: the Democrats organized the town hall and whose district Jerry Nadler, 647 00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. This week, Tom Styre Megadona 648 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,280 Speaker 1: for the Democrats organizes the town hall where Baltimore, Maryland 649 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,319 Speaker 1: district of Elijah Hummings, chairman of the Oversight Committee, where 650 00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:03,520 Speaker 1: this hearing took place yesterday. This is step one. They 651 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: could find no one better. This is the best they 652 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,479 Speaker 1: could come up with, a guy that's going to prison 653 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,359 Speaker 1: in two months for lying. But this is how they're 654 00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:11,120 Speaker 1: going to launch their peach because they got nothing else 655 00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: to go on. So they had to start with a guy, 656 00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:15,440 Speaker 1: Michael Cohen, who was delusional, who thinks he launched the 657 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,640 Speaker 1: president's campaign for president seven years ago, eight years ago. 658 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:21,040 Speaker 1: Whenever he did that, That's what that's who they used. 659 00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,360 Speaker 1: He was there Patsy yesterday, and you're right, it's unfortunate, 660 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: but they used him and that's what that's what yesterday 661 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,160 Speaker 1: was all about. Okay, So we had a view and 662 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:34,200 Speaker 1: a ruling that politics stops at the water's edge, and 663 00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the circus and thankfully you were all 664 00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: there to shed some light on this and bring a 665 00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,000 Speaker 1: whole other perspective to the hearings yesterday, because otherwise it 666 00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: was insane. But it did for a full day, they 667 00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:51,480 Speaker 1: successfully drew a lot of attention away from issues that 668 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,960 Speaker 1: maybe somewhat insignificant, you know, peace and security for the 669 00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:01,160 Speaker 1: Korean Peninsula, no more threats against the continent, United States, Guam, 670 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:07,000 Speaker 1: no more rockets being fired over Japan, remains sent home hostages, freed. 671 00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:10,839 Speaker 1: Why talk about those things? What if the Republicans did 672 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:15,279 Speaker 1: this and it was Obama as president? Your right that 673 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 1: when the president's trying to make the world safer plus place, 674 00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:20,920 Speaker 1: they're focusing on this kind of this kind of exercise 675 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:25,000 Speaker 1: which was just completely completely ridiculous. And we saw that 676 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:28,239 Speaker 1: play out yesterday with mister Cohen on the witness stand. 677 00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: All right, we'll come back. We'll continue from Vietnam. My 678 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,960 Speaker 1: full interview with the President tonight at nine on the 679 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 1: Fox News Channel and more on the Other Side and 680 00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:40,880 Speaker 1: our news Roundup and Information Overload hour. Dan Hoffman all 681 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,959 Speaker 1: stopping by. All right, as we continue with our friend 682 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan, the congressman from Ohio as a rock star yesterday, 683 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:51,120 Speaker 1: What did you make of the exchange which I thought 684 00:42:51,239 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: was unbelievable. Now we know all about Congresswoman to leave 685 00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,000 Speaker 1: been you know the mf A remark that she made 686 00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:04,880 Speaker 1: some of the radical associations, etc. And I watched this 687 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: and then I saw your colleague and friend, Mark Meadows. 688 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 1: Really I don't think I ever saw him that angry, 689 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:17,560 Speaker 1: but he was hiding the anger is controlled. And then 690 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,319 Speaker 1: I watched the exchange with him and Elijah Cummings, which 691 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:24,399 Speaker 1: I thought was amazing. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, Sean, 692 00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: you know Mark Meadows. Mark is probably my best friend, 693 00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,680 Speaker 1: certainly my best friend in Congress, and this is one 694 00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: of the most honorable individuals I've ever been around. And 695 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: for Congresswoman to leave to reference and say things the 696 00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,200 Speaker 1: way she did and go after the character of mister 697 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,000 Speaker 1: Meadows was absolutely wrong. And I think everyone who was 698 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:43,799 Speaker 1: in that committee room knew it. Everyone who knows Mark 699 00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:46,560 Speaker 1: Meadows knew it. I thought Mark handled it like a 700 00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:51,040 Speaker 1: gentleman that he is, and it was just flat out wrong. 701 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:53,640 Speaker 1: But again, this is where they are today. The Left 702 00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: will do all kinds of things that just are not appropriate. 703 00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm glad that the Chairman said the things he did 704 00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,040 Speaker 1: about Mark and that you got to see the friendship 705 00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:05,480 Speaker 1: that that generally exists between those two individuals. Now that 706 00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:08,320 Speaker 1: was I thought, and I didn't know about that friendship, 707 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,120 Speaker 1: and I would assume you'd probably have a similar relationship 708 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: to him. Yes, yes, look we disagree on policy, but 709 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,040 Speaker 1: but I respect mister Cummings as an individual obviously and 710 00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,000 Speaker 1: appreciate him, and we've we've had a good working relationship 711 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: over the over the years. Who made the decision, who said, oh, 712 00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 1: we'll schedule it this day or we won't reschedule it, 713 00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:32,560 Speaker 1: knowing the high stakes negotiations that are going on in 714 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:37,920 Speaker 1: Vietnam with somebody trying to denuclearize the Korean peninsula. Well, 715 00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, ultimately it's the chairman's call. So ultimately it 716 00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 1: was mister cummings call. I'm sure there was consultation with 717 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: the Democrat leadership, I Speaker Pelosi, but altimately there called. 718 00:44:47,200 --> 00:44:50,000 Speaker 1: But remember they had postponed this once. But I think 719 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,480 Speaker 1: they got themselves in this situation when you announced this 720 00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:55,880 Speaker 1: clear back before they took over the Congress after the election, 721 00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,080 Speaker 1: they announced this. This was their first big hearing. This 722 00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:01,719 Speaker 1: was their are a witness, a guy who is going 723 00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:04,560 Speaker 1: to prison for four distinct federal crimes, one of which 724 00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,319 Speaker 1: is lying to Congress. That's who you name is your 725 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:10,120 Speaker 1: first star witness. I believe he was the first announced 726 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,480 Speaker 1: witness for the one hundred and sixteenth Congress, the first 727 00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 1: their first guy they announced for this whole new Congress. 728 00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:19,480 Speaker 1: So when you do all that and then schedule, why 729 00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: the President of United States is overseas working on the 730 00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: extremely important work he was doing relative to North Korea 731 00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:28,680 Speaker 1: and as you say, the Korean peninsula. That shows you 732 00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 1: again how committed they are to going after President Trump. 733 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: Much more focused on that than they are on doing 734 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,520 Speaker 1: what's best for the country. And again that's that's the 735 00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,440 Speaker 1: sad state of affairs we find ourselves. Oh and I 736 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 1: think if you know, if this were the opposite, and 737 00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,279 Speaker 1: this was Barack Obama and Republicans were acting this way 738 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,880 Speaker 1: back at home, what would the reaction about. Well, I mean, 739 00:45:49,719 --> 00:45:51,759 Speaker 1: you know there's two standards. And this is again, this 740 00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,120 Speaker 1: is what drives your listeners, your viewers, and the American 741 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:58,000 Speaker 1: people crazy. Is this this whole double standard concept. One 742 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:00,560 Speaker 1: center rules for the Democrats, one center rules for Republicans, 743 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,200 Speaker 1: one set of rules for US regular people, a different said. 744 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,800 Speaker 1: If your name is Clinton, nor Combie or Struck or 745 00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:09,160 Speaker 1: Page or McCabe, the whole different. And it's never supposed 746 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:11,040 Speaker 1: to be that in this country. It's supposed to be 747 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:13,279 Speaker 1: equal treatment under the law, and it's supposed to be 748 00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:15,839 Speaker 1: fair and impartial reporting from the press, which we never get. 749 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,360 Speaker 1: And that's what drives Americans crazy. And that's why they 750 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 1: so appreciate this president, because this president is coming here 751 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,439 Speaker 1: and fighting to do what he told the American people 752 00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,480 Speaker 1: he was going to do. And it's our job. When 753 00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: he's fighting the good, fighting getting a row deal, it's 754 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 1: our job to defend him. And that's what we're trying 755 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 1: to do as well. Well. Again, I say, without the 756 00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:34,080 Speaker 1: freedom caucers, what did you think of the president walking away? 757 00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,719 Speaker 1: I'm glad he walked away. Real quick answer. Yeah, it's 758 00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,319 Speaker 1: like Reagan, you walk sometimes you have to walk away 759 00:46:39,360 --> 00:46:41,080 Speaker 1: to get the real deal, to get the best deal 760 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,200 Speaker 1: to get what's good for the safety of the United 761 00:46:43,200 --> 00:46:46,080 Speaker 1: States of America and what's good for the safety of 762 00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:49,239 Speaker 1: the world. And I view it just like just like 763 00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,520 Speaker 1: Reagan did. Well, thanks for all you did yesterday. Congressman George, 764 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,440 Speaker 1: thank you, and we'll see you soon when we come back. 765 00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: Dan hopping here in Vietnam. The full interview with the 766 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 1: President nine Eastern on Fox and mister President of you 767 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,560 Speaker 1: can elaborate a little bit more. We have some history. 768 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:10,600 Speaker 1: President Reagan walked away in Reikievic, a lot of condemnation 769 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,640 Speaker 1: at the time, and it ended up working out very 770 00:47:13,680 --> 00:47:16,680 Speaker 1: well in the end for the United States. Was this 771 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: mostly your decision or and what would message would you 772 00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,719 Speaker 1: want to send Chairman Kim as he's listening to this 773 00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:28,640 Speaker 1: press conference about the future and your relationship. Well, Sean, 774 00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was my decision, because 775 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,960 Speaker 1: what purposes that I want to keep the relationship, and 776 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,520 Speaker 1: we will keep the relationship. We'll see what happens over 777 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: the next period of time. But as you know, we 778 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,640 Speaker 1: got our hostages back. There's no more testing. And one 779 00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,839 Speaker 1: of the things importantly that Chairman Kim promised me last 780 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:52,000 Speaker 1: night is regardless he's not going to do testing of 781 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:57,440 Speaker 1: rockets and nuclear not going to do testing. So you know, 782 00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,239 Speaker 1: I trust him and I take him at his word. 783 00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:02,640 Speaker 1: I hope that's true. But in the meantime we'll be talking, 784 00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,120 Speaker 1: all right. That was the President. This was right after 785 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: I did the interview with him. He only did one 786 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,879 Speaker 1: scheduled interview that was with me. That'll air tonight. They've 787 00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,320 Speaker 1: only been airing small clips on the Fox News Channel. 788 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:18,000 Speaker 1: We got into every subject imaginable, and so it's like 789 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 1: in Singapore's a massive room, tons of cameras, photographers, journalists 790 00:48:22,880 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: from all over the world, and surprisingly a fairly civil 791 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:32,080 Speaker 1: press corps. But I've got to imagine because the international 792 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 1: press was there anyway, twenty five now till the twenty 793 00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:36,960 Speaker 1: four now till the top of the hour, as we 794 00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:40,320 Speaker 1: continue from Hanoi in Vietnam. The interview with the President 795 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 1: airs tonight on the Fox News Channel. In total, the 796 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:47,560 Speaker 1: entire time we have been here, our friend Dan Hoffman 797 00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:50,520 Speaker 1: has been with us, a Fox News contributor and now 798 00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:54,839 Speaker 1: a member of the President's Intelligence Advisory Board. And Dan, 799 00:48:54,960 --> 00:48:56,960 Speaker 1: good to see you. Thanks for all your work, hard 800 00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:58,520 Speaker 1: work this week, and you were on the set with 801 00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:03,400 Speaker 1: us last night, And when did this President's Intelligence Advisory boarders? 802 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,800 Speaker 1: Who happened? I didn't know. I was appointed to the 803 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:09,040 Speaker 1: board a few weeks ago. It's a real honor to serve. 804 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: You know. When I left the government and retired in 805 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 1: February twenty seventeen, I had no intention of having much 806 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:16,840 Speaker 1: to do again with the government. This opportunity presented itself, 807 00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,040 Speaker 1: and I'm honored to do my civic duty. Yeah, well, 808 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,440 Speaker 1: you spent how many years in the intelligence community, and 809 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 1: you can give as many details as you want, which 810 00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,960 Speaker 1: probably means none. I served about thirty years in the 811 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:31,600 Speaker 1: US government, served a lot of tours overseas, and was 812 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,399 Speaker 1: a chief of station in the Middle East and South 813 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,960 Speaker 1: Asia and in Russia as well. But you know, this 814 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,480 Speaker 1: has been a different optic for me coming out here 815 00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 1: to Vietnam and seeing it on the media side. And 816 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,480 Speaker 1: I can tell you that my past has given me 817 00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:48,200 Speaker 1: a real appreciation for what the President was doing today. 818 00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 1: One of the things that I was particularly impressed with 819 00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,480 Speaker 1: was how he empowered the intelligence community. Some have been 820 00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,360 Speaker 1: critical of his relationship with the intelligence community. Today, he 821 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,759 Speaker 1: highlighted that he was using US intelligence in his meeting 822 00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,840 Speaker 1: with Kim jongun, holding Kim jongun accountable for all of 823 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,719 Speaker 1: those sites that Kim wasn't admitting that he had for 824 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. Well, he kept saying, well, 825 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:13,600 Speaker 1: so the deal that was offered the president, apparently the 826 00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 1: largest site they have the one that's most problematic. But 827 00:50:17,080 --> 00:50:19,680 Speaker 1: he was very clear, Yeah, well, we have our satellite 828 00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,080 Speaker 1: images and we know the other ones that are all 829 00:50:22,080 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: around the country. And when you really think and you 830 00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:30,239 Speaker 1: dig deep down into this, what Kim was testing, what 831 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 1: he wanted to see is if he gets he gets 832 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,280 Speaker 1: everything he wants. And basically, just you know, a little 833 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:39,399 Speaker 1: carrot for the president seems like a big deal. I've 834 00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:42,000 Speaker 1: already given you the remains and the hostages, and I'm 835 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,080 Speaker 1: not firing rockets anymore. And the President did say to me, 836 00:50:45,200 --> 00:50:47,880 Speaker 1: he did get an assurance that that will not go 837 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:50,719 Speaker 1: back to that point, but it wouldn't make any sense 838 00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,239 Speaker 1: at all because he still would then have the capacity 839 00:50:53,320 --> 00:50:58,000 Speaker 1: to ramp up his nuclear program probably from the minute 840 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,160 Speaker 1: that the deal is signed. He was Kim Jong woon 841 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:04,759 Speaker 1: was talking about the Young Beyond nuclear facility, and that's fine, 842 00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,160 Speaker 1: but what the president was doing, what President Trump was 843 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,960 Speaker 1: doing in the spirit of President rom O'reagan was he 844 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: was using his intelligence. We steal secrets, we recruit spies, 845 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: we produce all source analysis, and then it's over to 846 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,359 Speaker 1: the president to take that intelligence and incorporate it into 847 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 1: his foreign policy, which is exactly what you saw the 848 00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,920 Speaker 1: president do. Now, the President was clear from the start, 849 00:51:25,320 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: realistic expectations. He's not in any rush to do anything. 850 00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,839 Speaker 1: And sometimes, as he showed us all yesterday, you got 851 00:51:31,920 --> 00:51:34,040 Speaker 1: to walk away from a bad deal in order to 852 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,480 Speaker 1: get the right deal. You know. It's so funny, and 853 00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:40,120 Speaker 1: I think this makes the president unique in the sense 854 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,160 Speaker 1: that he's not afraid to take a risk. He didn't 855 00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,120 Speaker 1: need a predetermined outcome, and by going into a situation 856 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,200 Speaker 1: like that, that means you might walk away. And what 857 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 1: frustrates me is somebody who's known him for so many years, 858 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,279 Speaker 1: and if you really wanted to get to know the 859 00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:57,120 Speaker 1: mind of Donald Trump, all you really need to do 860 00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,399 Speaker 1: is read The Art of the Deal. If you want 861 00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,839 Speaker 1: to know what happened right here in Vietnam yesterday, read 862 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:05,719 Speaker 1: the Art of the Deal. Because one of the main 863 00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: points that he makes in that book is that if 864 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,640 Speaker 1: you want to make a good deal, you have got 865 00:52:12,760 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 1: to be willing to stand up walk away at the 866 00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:20,080 Speaker 1: last minute. Now, based on things I'm piecing together, it 867 00:52:20,239 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 1: was the President that walked away from the deal. And 868 00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,799 Speaker 1: I would imagine Chairman Kimy their strategy was, Oh, they're 869 00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: gonna want this because they probably want the win, they 870 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 1: want the success, and look at what these idiots back 871 00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:34,960 Speaker 1: in Washington are doing to him. And he would love 872 00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,719 Speaker 1: to be able to go back and say, oh, I 873 00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,560 Speaker 1: got a deal, I got a deal. Well, we've had 874 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: those deals. We had that deal with Bill Clinton and 875 00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,800 Speaker 1: Kim Jong Ill, Kim Jong Gun's father. We had that 876 00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,680 Speaker 1: deal with the Mulla's in Iran. And in this case, 877 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,719 Speaker 1: the president has kept the sanctions in place. It's gotten 878 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: a lot of wins on a lot of areas. You 879 00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:56,960 Speaker 1: mentioned this, this main facility, what's it called Young be Young, 880 00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 1: and that is what I think the biggest facility by 881 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,960 Speaker 1: far right right. And Okay, that's not enough. So he 882 00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,840 Speaker 1: did what I would want him to do. Show strength, 883 00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:10,919 Speaker 1: be willing to put yourself out there for something significant, 884 00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: like a better, safer world. But if it's not going 885 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,440 Speaker 1: to be the right deal, well we'll come back and 886 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,400 Speaker 1: talk another day, or it won't happen. You know, in 887 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,880 Speaker 1: my experience, there's no question that United States domestic politics 888 00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:25,200 Speaker 1: can influence and sometimes interfere with foreign policy. The President 889 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: didn't let that happen yesterday. You know that Kim Jong 890 00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: UN's hermit Kingdom up aptly named. But these guys do 891 00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,000 Speaker 1: track Twitter and the news, and maybe Kim Jong Un 892 00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:39,080 Speaker 1: called an audible yesterday having seen what we saw in 893 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,600 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives with Michael Cohen, and thought, well, 894 00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,000 Speaker 1: maybe I can slip one by the President, offer him 895 00:53:44,080 --> 00:53:45,799 Speaker 1: up a deal that's good for us and bad for him, 896 00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: because he needs this more than I do. And the 897 00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,960 Speaker 1: President did not allow the domestic turmoil back home to 898 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,440 Speaker 1: influence his performance out here. That's a significant message to 899 00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:58,000 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un and the international community and SEAN. It 900 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,080 Speaker 1: has an impact on the upcoming summit in China. We're 901 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:02,960 Speaker 1: not going to take a bad deal from them either, 902 00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,120 Speaker 1: and the President is immune to that. But I know 903 00:54:06,280 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 1: that a thousand percent. I tell some stories or anecdotes 904 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:12,320 Speaker 1: that I give to the audience, and everyone in the 905 00:54:12,360 --> 00:54:14,920 Speaker 1: media is always speculating about what the relationship I have, 906 00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,600 Speaker 1: what the president is. They don't know. I'll never tell them. 907 00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:23,160 Speaker 1: Do we talk. That's none of their business. I neither 908 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 1: confirm nor deny any sources or friends in life that 909 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:28,759 Speaker 1: I talk to. And if anyone in the media wants 910 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,200 Speaker 1: to know, give me a list of all the people 911 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:34,279 Speaker 1: you talk to, all the sources you use, and then 912 00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:39,279 Speaker 1: I'll make a deliberate, considered decision on the issue. Let 913 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,400 Speaker 1: me go back to the what Kim said, and I 914 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:45,160 Speaker 1: thought this was interesting. He said, I wouldn't be here 915 00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: if I wasn't willing to talk about denuclearization, and I 916 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,719 Speaker 1: was hoping to make a deal today. It was in 917 00:54:50,880 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: his head. Now. The President also said, well, I hope 918 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 1: Chairman Kim will say to you all, meaning the media, 919 00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,560 Speaker 1: exactly what he said at dinner last night, meaning that 920 00:55:00,840 --> 00:55:04,080 Speaker 1: sounds like And I asked the President about this, and 921 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: he gives an interesting answer tonight that will air on Fox. 922 00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:10,959 Speaker 1: But to me, that sounds like, uh, yeah, I'm willing 923 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: to make that deal. And maybe he got cold feet. 924 00:55:13,239 --> 00:55:16,560 Speaker 1: Maybe his advisor said no, I think he got an opportunity. 925 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: Look what's going on in America. They're trashing him over there. 926 00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,120 Speaker 1: You know, I don't think there's a straight line in 927 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,879 Speaker 1: the negotiation towards eventual denuclearization. There's gonna be a lot 928 00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:27,759 Speaker 1: of stops and starts. There's gonna be some steps forward 929 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,360 Speaker 1: and some perceived steps backwards. That's okay. Kim Jong UN's 930 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: dad and his grandfather made some deals and they hoodwinked 931 00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:37,880 Speaker 1: previous administrations. And again, I think this president made it 932 00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,440 Speaker 1: clear he wasn't going to accept the sorts of deals. 933 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,680 Speaker 1: And I used that in quote that had been accepted 934 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,040 Speaker 1: in the past, that we're not in our strategic interests. 935 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,160 Speaker 1: We got one deal to make. The president knows that, 936 00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,080 Speaker 1: and he's willing to call Kim Jong UN's bluff. That's 937 00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:53,239 Speaker 1: what we saw yesterday well, and the deals, And maybe 938 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 1: this is a philosophical divide. The most successful foreign policy 939 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,520 Speaker 1: has always been one of peace through strength. We learned 940 00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 1: that with Reagan. I saw yesterday and witnessed Reikiavic and 941 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,440 Speaker 1: I and seeing the President immediately thereafter. It was a 942 00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:11,399 Speaker 1: ten minute ride for him in his motorcade, drives right 943 00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: over into the room where we're doing the interview, and 944 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:18,600 Speaker 1: he was absolutely there was nothing non plus by the 945 00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:22,200 Speaker 1: whole thing. And I what I sensed is, and this 946 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,759 Speaker 1: is my gut, is that I'm not doing a bad deal. 947 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: I'll never do a bad deal. I don't do business 948 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: like that. It will never happen. And if it happens, 949 00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,959 Speaker 1: it happens. If it doesn't, it doesn't. But it's worth 950 00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:36,680 Speaker 1: a shot. And we've already had some success here and 951 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:39,399 Speaker 1: I think that probably the person that learned that lesson 952 00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:42,640 Speaker 1: than well yesterday was Kim Jong un. Yeah, I agree. 953 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:44,320 Speaker 1: I think I just want to highlight one thing, and 954 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:47,640 Speaker 1: that is the Ambassador Nicky Haley played an incredibly important 955 00:56:47,719 --> 00:56:50,719 Speaker 1: role at the United Nations getting Russia and China and 956 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,560 Speaker 1: this is hard to do to get them in on 957 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:55,160 Speaker 1: the sanctions regime, and that's been a very important part 958 00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,880 Speaker 1: of the pressure we have brought to bear against Kim 959 00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,719 Speaker 1: Jong un. This puts a premium on us getting a 960 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:04,759 Speaker 1: successor a follow on you on a United States UN 961 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:08,560 Speaker 1: ambassador who can carry on the efforts that Nicki Haley 962 00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:12,919 Speaker 1: so effectively delivered in and the sanctions regime. That's really 963 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:16,040 Speaker 1: been key. Look, we can wait this out, and I 964 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 1: think that's been the point here. Kim Jonguan's the one 965 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 1: suffering from all the sanctions and now he has to 966 00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 1: go home and deal with the fact that he's not 967 00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,640 Speaker 1: going home with any benefits that he might have hoped 968 00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:28,400 Speaker 1: to derive from this meeting. Well, bribery of dictators and 969 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:31,240 Speaker 1: despots doesn't work. We've tried it now too often. All right, 970 00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,040 Speaker 1: So thirty years in intelligence, to the extent you're comfortable 971 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 1: and we're friends. I would never want to push you 972 00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,600 Speaker 1: further than you want to go. I want you to 973 00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,520 Speaker 1: describe what it is for thirty years you've done where 974 00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,840 Speaker 1: you've done it, and it's because it's like games. Bond 975 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 1: to me when I talk to you. The only downside 976 00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 1: of talking to you is and everyone on my boat, staffs, 977 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:55,520 Speaker 1: TV radio agree, you scare the living crap out of everybody. 978 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,280 Speaker 1: In terms of that phone you have is a microphone. 979 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,200 Speaker 1: They are listening in China is listening right now to 980 00:58:01,320 --> 00:58:04,280 Speaker 1: your phone. It cracked me up, John. What always gave me, 981 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,040 Speaker 1: and I think my colleagues as well, the most satisfaction 982 00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,680 Speaker 1: was collecting intelligence on threats overseas threats and then doing 983 00:58:11,720 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 1: all that we could to eliminate them so they're not 984 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,040 Speaker 1: visited on our shores. And when I served in the 985 00:58:16,080 --> 00:58:19,480 Speaker 1: Middle East, I served in Iraq years back during the surge, 986 00:58:19,720 --> 00:58:23,240 Speaker 1: and we were running sources into al Qaida, and we 987 00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 1: were obtaining intelligence from those sources on threats to the 988 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:28,480 Speaker 1: US military. With the surge, we were over one hundred 989 00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 1: thousand US troops, and the most important thing we did. 990 00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,320 Speaker 1: We did a lot that year. We collected a lot 991 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 1: of intelligence, We stole a lot of secrets. But the 992 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,560 Speaker 1: most important, arguably the most important thing we would do 993 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,760 Speaker 1: was collect intelligence on threats to the US military. And 994 00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:45,080 Speaker 1: there were countless times when we would collect intelligence from 995 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: a source, an al Qaeda terrorist, about an IED located someplace, 996 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:51,880 Speaker 1: or a threat to US military. Within minutes, we've told 997 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 1: the brigade commander, who's swivel in the troops in a 998 00:58:53,840 --> 00:58:57,040 Speaker 1: different direction. That, among lots of things, certainly gave me 999 00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,440 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of satisfaction. If I only 1000 00:58:59,480 --> 00:59:02,800 Speaker 1: had another opportunity at another job in life, I've always 1001 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,200 Speaker 1: wanted to be a country music star. God showed me 1002 00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,720 Speaker 1: there's no chance of that ever happening. Because I can't 1003 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,400 Speaker 1: say so. My next option would be doing the types 1004 00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:15,320 Speaker 1: of things you have told me and you describe, which 1005 00:59:15,320 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 1: I find fascinating and also also very dangerous but so 1006 00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,440 Speaker 1: important to our safety. Dan Hoppman is with us. We're 1007 00:59:21,480 --> 00:59:24,440 Speaker 1: in Vietnam. My interview with the President nine Eastern in 1008 00:59:24,640 --> 00:59:27,840 Speaker 1: full tonight, the only interview he gave after the summit 1009 00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 1: that end much more all right, as we continue, Dan 1010 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:34,280 Speaker 1: Hoppin is with us, and Dan just got a big 1011 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,920 Speaker 1: honor and he is now a member of the President's 1012 00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:42,120 Speaker 1: Intelligence Advisory Board. Fox News contributor. We were talking about 1013 00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:44,800 Speaker 1: the thirty plus years you spent in the intelligence community. 1014 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,400 Speaker 1: You were talking about a rack your time in the 1015 00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:50,000 Speaker 1: Middle East, but you also spend time in places like Russia, Asia, 1016 00:59:50,040 --> 00:59:52,880 Speaker 1: I assume China. Not in China, I was in South Asia. 1017 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,480 Speaker 1: I was in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I'll tell you that. 1018 00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:57,760 Speaker 1: You know, the backdrop of all of the meetings we 1019 00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:01,800 Speaker 1: had today yesterday, pas stand in India shooting down you know, 1020 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 1: two nuclear armed enemies shooting down each other's fighter planes, 1021 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,440 Speaker 1: and that is of grave concern, and this administration simultaneously 1022 01:00:10,560 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: managing that crisis and dialing down the tension diplomatically. You know, 1023 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:18,240 Speaker 1: at the press conference immediately after my interview with the president, 1024 01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:21,240 Speaker 1: it was interesting because he had said so many times 1025 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:24,000 Speaker 1: in the past that he inherited this problem, and he 1026 01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,080 Speaker 1: also won as far as to say in the last 1027 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,200 Speaker 1: two weeks that he inherited what he thought was we 1028 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:31,600 Speaker 1: were on the brink of war based on you know, 1029 01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:34,360 Speaker 1: how many missiles would Kim Jong be allowed to fire 1030 01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 1: over Japan and threatened the continental United States, in Guam 1031 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:42,280 Speaker 1: and the entire region before Donald Trump and his military 1032 01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:45,040 Speaker 1: started taking those little rockets right out of the sky, 1033 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:48,520 Speaker 1: which would have escalated this to a very high level. Yeah. 1034 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,680 Speaker 1: I think one of the questions, and we won't know 1035 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,280 Speaker 1: the answer all of us out here, but maybe one 1036 01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: of the questions that the President might have asked the 1037 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 1: intelligence community is, uh, you know, just Kim Jong oun 1038 01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:00,800 Speaker 1: really believe that we're going to go to war over this? 1039 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,040 Speaker 1: And maybe the answer to that was yes, And maybe 1040 01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: that's why he stopped firing the missiles and testing his 1041 01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,040 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. If I had to guess, I have no 1042 01:01:08,400 --> 01:01:10,880 Speaker 1: inside knowledge. For all you dopes in the media that 1043 01:01:11,080 --> 01:01:14,040 Speaker 1: think I know everything, I'm glad you give me this 1044 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:16,320 Speaker 1: high honor and compliment. By the guests. We might have 1045 01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,360 Speaker 1: been one, two or three missiles away from that happening, 1046 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:21,840 Speaker 1: that missile being taken out of the sky, and I'm 1047 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:25,920 Speaker 1: sure that message was communicated. Dan Hoppin, thank you, You've 1048 01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,120 Speaker 1: been amazing. We'll see it tonight on Hannity.

We'll take a quick break, news round up, 1052 01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,480 Speaker 1: information overload. Horaldo's really pissed at the Democrats.

I 1059 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,480 Speaker 1: leave a day later at eleven pm, nearly two days later, 1060 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:08,240 Speaker 1: and I arrived before her. Oh that was terrible.

We'll continue. 1065 01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,280 Speaker 1: When was the last communication with President Trump or someone 1066 01:02:23,320 --> 01:02:27,960 Speaker 1: acting on his behalf. I don't have the specific date, 1067 01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:29,880 Speaker 1: but it was a while ago. And what did he 1068 01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:37,120 Speaker 1: or his agent communicate to you. Unfortunately, this topic is 1069 01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:40,640 Speaker 1: actually something that's being investigated right now by the Southern 1070 01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,160 Speaker 1: District of New York. And I've been asked by them 1071 01:02:44,880 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 1: not to discuss and not to talk about these issues 1072 01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 1: fair enough. Is there any other wrongdoing or illegal act 1073 01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 1: that you are aware of regarding Donald Trump that we 1074 01:02:56,280 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: haven't yet discussed today. Yes, and again those are part 1075 01:02:59,840 --> 01:03:02,680 Speaker 1: of the investigation that's currently being looked at by the 1076 01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 1: Southern District of New York. All right, glad you with 1077 01:03:04,840 --> 01:03:08,040 Speaker 1: us as we continue from Vietnam eight hundred and nine 1078 01:03:08,120 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 1: for one Sean Tolfrey telephone number. Michael Kohane and his 1079 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,520 Speaker 1: testimony yesterday where they said he was going to lay 1080 01:03:15,560 --> 01:03:20,800 Speaker 1: out blockbuster evidence of specific crimes, but he said, oh, 1081 01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:25,840 Speaker 1: the dossier's total bs and he said, no evidence of collusion, 1082 01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:31,360 Speaker 1: no information that the president could be blackmailed, on and 1083 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: goes on from there. Now, the sad thing in all 1084 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,480 Speaker 1: of this, the tragic side of all of this, is 1085 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 1: those people that have hated Michael Kohone with a passion 1086 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 1: for all of these years. After Donald Trump comes down 1087 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,520 Speaker 1: the escalator at Trump Tower, they now used him yesterday 1088 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,120 Speaker 1: and now he is the subject of not one, but 1089 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 1: two specific criminal referrals. For example, we just heard him 1090 01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,080 Speaker 1: denying that he didn't want to go work at the 1091 01:03:59,120 --> 01:04:02,240 Speaker 1: White House. Well, there were reports the whole day that 1092 01:04:02,440 --> 01:04:06,560 Speaker 1: in fact, everybody has text messages saying he wanted to 1093 01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: work at the White House in a high level, specific job. Anyway, 1094 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,680 Speaker 1: and of course my bigger point, which is, Okay, here's 1095 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:19,760 Speaker 1: your here's your modern democratic party. No planes, no gas, 1096 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:28,160 Speaker 1: no oil, no cows, seventy two plus percent confiscation of taxes, wealth, 1097 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:32,560 Speaker 1: additional taxes. Everything's gonna be promised for free, up end 1098 01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 1: the single greatest wealth, creating a democratic republic in the 1099 01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 1: history of mankind. And oh it's gonna cost at least 1100 01:04:41,680 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 1: maybe nine point four ninety four trillion dollars. It's insane, 1101 01:04:47,080 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: all right. Anyway, here to now debate Haraldo Refais with 1102 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,959 Speaker 1: US Fox News legal analysts, author of The Horaldo Show, 1103 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,640 Speaker 1: and Jonathan Gillham, former FPI agent, Federal Air Marshal. He'll 1104 01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,560 Speaker 1: be filling in on this program tomorrow as we try 1105 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 1: to make our way back from Vietnam. I just hope 1106 01:05:00,720 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 1: I don't fly with Linda, who couldn't get She left 1107 01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,520 Speaker 1: a day early and got here hours later. And the 1108 01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,680 Speaker 1: six we called the sixty hour Flight from Hell welcome 1109 01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:11,840 Speaker 1: both of you. You know, Horaldo last night, you were 1110 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 1: so passionate the last two nights on TV angry even. 1111 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: You know, here's this moment where the President, for his part, 1112 01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:23,800 Speaker 1: is now looking to future generations and making the world 1113 01:05:23,840 --> 01:05:28,280 Speaker 1: a better, safer, place, more secure. I love that he 1114 01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: walked away from a bad deal. Kim Jong un was 1115 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: testing him last night and he looked at him and 1116 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:36,120 Speaker 1: he said no. And that's the person that I have 1117 01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,680 Speaker 1: known for all these years. That's the person that wrote 1118 01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:41,760 Speaker 1: in the Art of the Deal that you always got 1119 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 1: to be ready to walk away no matter what point 1120 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,640 Speaker 1: in the negotiation up to last second. Even. First of all, 1121 01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:50,640 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of you for the job that you 1122 01:05:50,760 --> 01:05:53,760 Speaker 1: did over there. I feel you were very statesman ly 1123 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,800 Speaker 1: with Potus, was very eye opening, very revealing, and you 1124 01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,160 Speaker 1: had a very good measure. By the way, did you 1125 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,320 Speaker 1: see me get called on at the press conference? I did. 1126 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,680 Speaker 1: I did. You've been a while since you've been in 1127 01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,640 Speaker 1: that scrum, but you did. You did well there too. 1128 01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: You did well there too. You know, the anger that 1129 01:06:14,520 --> 01:06:19,919 Speaker 1: I that I displayed is real, Sewan, because I'm very frustrated, 1130 01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 1: as you know, people on the on the on the 1131 01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:26,800 Speaker 1: left or the mainstream. Uh, they have an attitude about 1132 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:30,480 Speaker 1: them that they are the almost a superior class, and 1133 01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:34,760 Speaker 1: they pity people who believe the President of the United States. 1134 01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:38,320 Speaker 1: And what they have done is they pooled themselves into 1135 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,959 Speaker 1: uh this mindset where yes, I have been talking about 1136 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,680 Speaker 1: Russian collusion for two years. Of course that's been my 1137 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,400 Speaker 1: main thrust. Oh well it doesn't exist. Well, now I'm 1138 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,440 Speaker 1: really interested in Stormy Daniel. You know, a seamless kind 1139 01:06:52,480 --> 01:06:55,440 Speaker 1: of transition, and now it's all about the Southern District 1140 01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: and financial crimes and income tax. They they have to 1141 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:03,080 Speaker 1: be held to account for two years of slandering this man, 1142 01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,400 Speaker 1: creating the climate of confrontation and division in the country, 1143 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 1: wherein it got so far that the acting director of 1144 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:16,480 Speaker 1: the FDI could say in interview Intew Andrew McCabe, that 1145 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: it was possible the president was an asset of Vladimir 1146 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Putin and the Russians. I think this is outrageous. And 1147 01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,840 Speaker 1: if I don't call it out, who's going to I'm 1148 01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 1: in the middle. I'm road killed if I see things 1149 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,200 Speaker 1: from both sides. And I have to say I am 1150 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:35,640 Speaker 1: so scornful of the mainstream and how they have absolutely 1151 01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 1: in the most derogatory way, slandered and undermined the president 1152 01:07:40,240 --> 01:07:43,120 Speaker 1: with this bs about Russian collusion charm. Well, it's gone 1153 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,320 Speaker 1: on now for two years, and here we find ourselves 1154 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:48,840 Speaker 1: as a country. They couldn't have put this aside, Jonathan 1155 01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 1: Gillham for just a couple of days. I mean, it's 1156 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:57,880 Speaker 1: been two long years, and they trot out Michael Cohne 1157 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 1: for three days in a row. And now what do 1158 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:03,680 Speaker 1: we know? Now he got himself as a result of 1159 01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:08,680 Speaker 1: being used by the Democrats, not one but two criminal referrals, 1160 01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:13,800 Speaker 1: brand new criminal referrals, one for the possibility of committing perjury, 1161 01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:17,800 Speaker 1: one for violating the Parah Act, which was an issue 1162 01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:21,400 Speaker 1: as you remember with Paul Manafort. And now he has 1163 01:08:21,479 --> 01:08:24,960 Speaker 1: been put in serious, significant legal jeopardy because now the 1164 01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:28,360 Speaker 1: whole world sees it, and I gotta believe he may 1165 01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:32,680 Speaker 1: be in serious new legal trouble. Well, let me say 1166 01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:34,679 Speaker 1: this before I say what I'm gonna say about Cohen. 1167 01:08:35,320 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 1: I am so proud of Haraldough coming on here and 1168 01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:42,240 Speaker 1: saying what he's saying. And I think more people are 1169 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,160 Speaker 1: in the true middle now they're not, you know, so 1170 01:08:44,320 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 1: far to the left or that are right. But I'm 1171 01:08:46,439 --> 01:08:48,719 Speaker 1: going to go even further a little bit than about 1172 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 1: what he was saying about the media, because let's look 1173 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:54,240 Speaker 1: at what Elijah Cummings did yesterday when he is in 1174 01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,160 Speaker 1: charge of that whole committee and he says out loud 1175 01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,479 Speaker 1: it appears that the President committed a crime. Now he's 1176 01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,439 Speaker 1: not judging jury, and he's an attorney, and he knows 1177 01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:06,599 Speaker 1: going out there and saying these things. And the way 1178 01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,439 Speaker 1: he was talking about Cohen as being this guy who 1179 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,960 Speaker 1: rose to the occasion did all these things. It is 1180 01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:16,200 Speaker 1: like a Saturday Night Live skit with teeth and they 1181 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,240 Speaker 1: they're in collusion with the media. It frustrates me so 1182 01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:26,280 Speaker 1: bad because we can't count on journalists to do the 1183 01:09:26,400 --> 01:09:30,280 Speaker 1: right thing. We can't count on representatives of the people 1184 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,439 Speaker 1: and in the DC to do the right thing. And 1185 01:09:33,680 --> 01:09:37,400 Speaker 1: all of it comes down on the shoulders of Donald 1186 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:41,560 Speaker 1: Trump while he's trying to do something like, you know, 1187 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:46,280 Speaker 1: broker a nuclear deal and a disarmament deal with a dictator. 1188 01:09:46,560 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 1: It's this is astounding to the point that we've gotten 1189 01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,479 Speaker 1: where it's so low that they're trying to get rid 1190 01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:54,639 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump that they will go to these levels. 1191 01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,120 Speaker 1: When we look at Cohen. I agree with you. It 1192 01:09:57,200 --> 01:09:59,439 Speaker 1: should just it's all nonsense anyway, but I think it 1193 01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,080 Speaker 1: should go way while the President's trying to do real 1194 01:10:02,160 --> 01:10:04,400 Speaker 1: business that has to do with the national security of 1195 01:10:04,439 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 1: our country. But when we look at Cohen and his behavior, 1196 01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:11,320 Speaker 1: and Horaldo can tell you this, he's seen this stuff 1197 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:13,880 Speaker 1: because he's been close to a lot of these bad guys, 1198 01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:17,520 Speaker 1: whether it's interviewing or an attorney. You know, they minimize. 1199 01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:21,360 Speaker 1: They love to minimize their guilt. And what happens a 1200 01:10:21,439 --> 01:10:23,080 Speaker 1: lot of the times is when they get up there 1201 01:10:23,160 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: and they minimize, they end up lying. And when they 1202 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:29,120 Speaker 1: do that under oath, they get in trouble. And that's 1203 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: what he did yesterday. He you know, he minimized, minimized, minimize, 1204 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,760 Speaker 1: And when you're doing that, you end up saying things 1205 01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,760 Speaker 1: are going down a road that you have to stick with, 1206 01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:39,880 Speaker 1: and now you're caught in a lie and the whole 1207 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:42,080 Speaker 1: thing is just a mess. Oh. I mean, that's the 1208 01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:46,000 Speaker 1: other point, you know, Horaldo, yesterday you went into there 1209 01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 1: are and the President said this in the full interview 1210 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:50,160 Speaker 1: that I'm going to air tonight on Hannity on the 1211 01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:53,639 Speaker 1: Fox News channel. But the only interview he did after 1212 01:10:53,920 --> 01:10:59,280 Speaker 1: the after the summit, and how the president benefits from 1213 01:10:59,360 --> 01:11:01,960 Speaker 1: the five sent as he said last night and said 1214 01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,600 Speaker 1: to me, that was truthful of Michael Cone, and we 1215 01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,479 Speaker 1: just played some of it. There was no collusion, and 1216 01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:12,000 Speaker 1: that whole dossier was all bs. And there were numerous 1217 01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: numerous lies about Michael Conan. And now I know one 1218 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:18,679 Speaker 1: spectacular lie in there about him, just like the Russian 1219 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,759 Speaker 1: hooker's peeing on the bed in the Rich Carlton in Moscow. 1220 01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:25,559 Speaker 1: But the other one is Michael Cone was never to Prague. 1221 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 1: And again I knew him well at the time. I'm 1222 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,280 Speaker 1: mad at the fact that he didn't tell the truth. 1223 01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 1: I was never his client. He did apologize, which I appreciated, 1224 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 1: and I am, you know, but I'm and there's some 1225 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,519 Speaker 1: other issues that I'm frankly a little bit mad about. 1226 01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,360 Speaker 1: But I knew where he was. He was at something 1227 01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 1: that was actually pretty spectacular in the United States for 1228 01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:47,639 Speaker 1: his family, and I don't want to divulge the details 1229 01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,600 Speaker 1: of which, and I knew it was false, just like 1230 01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,479 Speaker 1: so many other things in that dossier falls And now 1231 01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:58,040 Speaker 1: he's corroborating the major argument that they have been making 1232 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 1: for years. You know, if you look at the New 1233 01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:04,240 Speaker 1: York Times today. I know you're in Henroy, but if 1234 01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 1: you look at the New York Times today, there is 1235 01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 1: no mention on the front page of what should have 1236 01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: been the headline, the no collusion, says Cohen. There's nothing 1237 01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:17,520 Speaker 1: like that in the paper TAE. It has been ignored. 1238 01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,839 Speaker 1: If you look at MSNBC, if you look at CNN, 1239 01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:29,040 Speaker 1: there is virtually no editorial about the profoundly significant point 1240 01:12:29,400 --> 01:12:34,880 Speaker 1: that the biggest snitch, the government's strongest witness, the deep insider, 1241 01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:39,120 Speaker 1: insider says there's no evidence he knows of nothing having 1242 01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 1: to do with collusion. So for two years we've heard 1243 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,799 Speaker 1: that bs and it's all amounted to a hill of beans. 1244 01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:51,480 Speaker 1: The Dacier now riddle with known falsehoods Frague. You had McClatchy, 1245 01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:55,960 Speaker 1: the newspaper organization, saying that they had Michael Cohen in 1246 01:12:56,120 --> 01:13:00,280 Speaker 1: Frague and that his cell phone pinged in Frogue showing 1247 01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,280 Speaker 1: that he was in communication with Russians and he's never 1248 01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,120 Speaker 1: ever been there. Where's the apology from the McClatchy papers, 1249 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:11,800 Speaker 1: BuzzFeed saying that Cohen was coached by Trump to lie 1250 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,640 Speaker 1: to Congress, and now Aldo, what's going to happen to 1251 01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:21,200 Speaker 1: all these these so called news organizations that have propagandized, 1252 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:26,719 Speaker 1: that have hysterically breathlessly reported one issue after another regarding 1253 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:29,000 Speaker 1: the President that turns out to be false. Are they 1254 01:13:29,080 --> 01:13:33,320 Speaker 1: going to apologize? Will they be held accountable? Will the 1255 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,559 Speaker 1: will the real Russian colluters now? Will they be ever 1256 01:13:36,640 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 1: held accountable like Hillary for example, paying for a phony 1257 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:44,719 Speaker 1: Russian dossier. I think you should be BuzzFeed now, buzz fake. 1258 01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:49,800 Speaker 1: You know, I appreciate that media is evolving and that 1259 01:13:49,920 --> 01:13:53,679 Speaker 1: there's more these uh you know, gung hole digital outfits 1260 01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:56,000 Speaker 1: out there, but you gotta get it right, and if 1261 01:13:56,040 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 1: you get it wrong, you have to apologize, and you 1262 01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:00,640 Speaker 1: have to do so in a speedy and or not. 1263 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 1: In what's going on now, they hung our president out 1264 01:14:05,160 --> 01:14:08,759 Speaker 1: to drive. And I want to know from some real 1265 01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:14,760 Speaker 1: insider national security analysts whether or not the president's problems 1266 01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:19,880 Speaker 1: in the United States with this simultaneous charade of his 1267 01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,400 Speaker 1: show with Michael Kohn, whether that had any effect on 1268 01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 1: undermining the president sufficiently to help to repeat crucial negotiation. Look, 1269 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:31,479 Speaker 1: I wasn't watching cable at all at the time. I 1270 01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:35,320 Speaker 1: came up in the air nine am, Vietnam time, yesterday. 1271 01:14:35,360 --> 01:14:37,519 Speaker 1: But I'm told by people that were back home that 1272 01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: if you turned on the other news, that works as 1273 01:14:40,560 --> 01:14:43,880 Speaker 1: the President is meeting and shaking hands with Kim Jong 1274 01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:48,479 Speaker 1: un to denuclearize the entire Korean peninsula, which is rather profound. 1275 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: While that was happening, guess what they weren't covering at Jonathan. 1276 01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:56,040 Speaker 1: They wanted to lock in and stay with Kohn and 1277 01:14:56,240 --> 01:15:00,479 Speaker 1: continue the never ending coverage of bludgeoning Trump for any 1278 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:05,800 Speaker 1: reason without facts or truth usually behind it. But this 1279 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:09,200 Speaker 1: is yes, You're absolutely right, and what we see a 1280 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,720 Speaker 1: lot of the times, there's so many and forgive me 1281 01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 1: for this, Harald, though you may agree or not with this, 1282 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:17,440 Speaker 1: but there's so many attorneys now, the whole whole WASHINGDC 1283 01:15:18,000 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 1: is filled with attorneys. Almost all the guests that you 1284 01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,040 Speaker 1: ever see on news on them in the media anymore, 1285 01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:27,160 Speaker 1: or attorneys, And what they do when they cover this stuff, 1286 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,960 Speaker 1: it's the same type of game that you see between 1287 01:15:30,000 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 1: two attorneys where they're they're trying to convince people of 1288 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:37,479 Speaker 1: guilt or not guilt, not truth, And that's what they 1289 01:15:37,600 --> 01:15:40,000 Speaker 1: do in the in the news now when they cover 1290 01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,559 Speaker 1: these stories, and if from an intelligent standpoint, I'm telling 1291 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,720 Speaker 1: you right now that if they can go in and 1292 01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:51,760 Speaker 1: cause any type of disruption, and this is what's crazy, right, 1293 01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:55,040 Speaker 1: They're going to cause disruption in our own president's mind 1294 01:15:55,360 --> 01:15:59,600 Speaker 1: while he's over there. That could be very detrimental to 1295 01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:04,400 Speaker 1: the way he is negotiating with these these highly trained experts. 1296 01:16:04,760 --> 01:16:07,680 Speaker 1: I agree right there. More with more with Haraldo, More 1297 01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:10,720 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Gillham. When we come back, final half hour, 1298 01:16:10,800 --> 01:16:13,680 Speaker 1: wide open telephones. Anything you want to talk about eight 1299 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,760 Speaker 1: hundred and nine four, I have one shown if you 1300 01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:17,880 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, my exclusive 1301 01:16:17,960 --> 01:16:20,920 Speaker 1: and the only exclusive interview the president gave.

Not a lot of flights 1331 01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:02,680 Speaker 1: I think we even have after TV. What do we 1332 01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:04,920 Speaker 1: have a twelve hour delay before we can go wheels up, 1333 01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:07,519 Speaker 1: so pretty long period of time. Maybe I can actually 1334 01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:11,639 Speaker 1: get some sleep, that'd be nice. So our friend Jonathan 1335 01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:13,439 Speaker 1: Gillim will be in here tomorrow, but tonight we will 1336 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:16,720 Speaker 1: air the only interview the President gave it was with 1337 01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 1: me immediately following the summit with Kim Jong und. It 1338 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,120 Speaker 1: was interesting how this all worked behind the scenes because 1339 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 1: we were told be flexible, be there, be flexible. It's 1340 01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:32,120 Speaker 1: very fluid. Nobody knows, here's a scheduled time. Next thing, 1341 01:18:32,200 --> 01:18:35,040 Speaker 1: I know, two hours before the scheduled time, they decided 1342 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,200 Speaker 1: to move up the press conference. And that was the 1343 01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:39,560 Speaker 1: first indication that maybe I need to go put a 1344 01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,400 Speaker 1: real shirt on and you know, do the little hair 1345 01:18:42,560 --> 01:18:44,920 Speaker 1: colmbing thing that I do on TV, which is stupid. 1346 01:18:45,160 --> 01:18:48,760 Speaker 1: Apparently everybody, with the pictures you've been posting on Twitter, 1347 01:18:48,880 --> 01:18:51,679 Speaker 1: everybody likes the natural look. I have a natural look 1348 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,240 Speaker 1: when you can't have your hair, you know, like Bernie 1349 01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,400 Speaker 1: Sanders on TV. Bernie Sanders doesn't have any hair. Well, 1350 01:18:58,439 --> 01:19:03,880 Speaker 1: it's like the disheveled he looks like the man scientist, socialistic, communist, hippie. 1351 01:19:04,280 --> 01:19:06,000 Speaker 1: He gave it away. He shared his hair with everyone. 1352 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:07,800 Speaker 1: I think he went to Woodstock and he didn't hear 1353 01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:10,360 Speaker 1: the message about the green acid versus the brown acid. 1354 01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:13,439 Speaker 1: You know, he's just you can't. He just can't do it, 1355 01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:16,439 Speaker 1: like it really kills me. Because our friend Dan Bongino 1356 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,519 Speaker 1: is with us a lot this week. And yes, he 1357 01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:21,880 Speaker 1: and Dan Hopping both have been amazing. And what's funny 1358 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:26,240 Speaker 1: is Dan Bongino doesn't wear tie on Fox Eric Wait 1359 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,639 Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait 1360 01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:33,200 Speaker 1: what tie is fitting around the neck? Oh, dann Bongino. 1361 01:19:33,720 --> 01:19:36,640 Speaker 1: Dan Bongino wore a tie when he guest toasted your 1362 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,120 Speaker 1: TV show. He looked ridiculous. He is lifted. He looked 1363 01:19:40,120 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 1: like he was being choked to death. Did he really? 1364 01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,320 Speaker 1: It was awful? I was like, I texted him, I'm like, Dan, 1365 01:19:44,439 --> 01:19:46,479 Speaker 1: you gotta take it off. It looks terrible. He's like, 1366 01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:49,639 Speaker 1: I can't. They will let me. I can't. Oh god, yeah, 1367 01:19:49,680 --> 01:19:52,240 Speaker 1: it was really bad. Um, well, Dan works out like 1368 01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:55,760 Speaker 1: I thought I worked out like a madman.

We're all gonna say a 1414 01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:04,599 Speaker 1: little prayer for you getting home. I think, I think 1415 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:06,160 Speaker 1: what I want to talk about more is the fact 1416 01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:09,000 Speaker 1: that CNN yesterday had the broadcast real news. I mean, 1417 01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:11,320 Speaker 1: here in my hotel, I only have CNN. It's a 1418 01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,240 Speaker 1: very sad thing. And I've never watched CNN before, so 1419 01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:17,320 Speaker 1: it's been a real education in fake news. And so yesterday, 1420 01:22:17,880 --> 01:22:20,560 Speaker 1: you know, at whatever time, it was two thirty in 1421 01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:23,800 Speaker 1: the morning our time.

No, 1464 01:24:26,640 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 1: no comment, exactly right. I think the thing I took 1465 01:24:32,600 --> 01:24:35,200 Speaker 1: away the most is how nice the people are here. Amazing. 1466 01:24:35,400 --> 01:24:37,160 Speaker 1: I was in the food store and I had like 1467 01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:40,639 Speaker 1: three things with me Die Cooke for James, and everyone 1468 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,920 Speaker 1: in line said to go in front of them. Everyone 1469 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,200 Speaker 1: they go ahead.

Imagine if you over behind Linda and you've 1472 01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:52,160 Speaker 1: jumped in front of her in New York. Forget if 1473 01:24:52,200 --> 01:24:55,000 Speaker 1: she cleaned the floor with you. That's right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1474 01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,280 Speaker 1: I think that was the biggest thing is how how 1475 01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,519 Speaker 1: kind people are, even and they don't speak any English, 1476 01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:02,560 Speaker 1: and it's amazing. Totally agree. Um, And that that was 1477 01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:07,240 Speaker 1: that stands out in a way that's profound, really touchingly profound. 1478 01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:10,160 Speaker 1: All right, Linda, it's your next. Well, let's let James 1479 01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:13,120 Speaker 1: go next. James, sweet baby, James, what was the thing 1480 01:25:13,200 --> 01:25:16,280 Speaker 1: that stands out the most to you? Yeah, just keep 1481 01:25:16,360 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 1: banging those microphones. That sounds great on radio. That sounds 1482 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,000 Speaker 1: amazing from the experience, Sean, akin to what Blair said, 1483 01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,559 Speaker 1: You know, there's, um, there's something about the human spirit, 1484 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,400 Speaker 1: you know, our desire to get ahead, maybe to be free. 1485 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 1: Here we are like under a communist regime, and they 1486 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,320 Speaker 1: work so hard and they're so appreciative of like you know, 1487 01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:36,000 Speaker 1: the stories you tell about like you know a tip 1488 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,400 Speaker 1: or you know, little a little graciousness on our part. 1489 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,880 Speaker 1: It just it really like it's a profound lesson in 1490 01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,240 Speaker 1: the universality of the human spirit. You know, what people want, 1491 01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 1: what works are We're gonna sing John Lennon, give a 1492 01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:51,120 Speaker 1: piece of chance. Now that makes my supermarket story. But 1493 01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:53,680 Speaker 1: but to James's credit, and I mean this sincerely, we 1494 01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,040 Speaker 1: all we call him sweet baby James. For a reason 1495 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:01,160 Speaker 1: is that James has a heart of gold. That's why 1496 01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,360 Speaker 1: we love you more than anything. If we do great work, 1497 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:05,479 Speaker 1: but we love you for your heart more than anything. 1498 01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,519 Speaker 1: All Right, Linda, my favorite thing in Vietnam. Well, since 1499 01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:13,600 Speaker 1: I haven't left the hotel um, because all I do 1500 01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:17,400 Speaker 1: is why why would you leave? It looks like I'm 1501 01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,840 Speaker 1: in the palace um. I have to say, I'm gonna 1502 01:26:19,840 --> 01:26:22,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you one funny anecdote from my experience here. 1503 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,600 Speaker 1: So imagine what it looks like everybody. Every day, I 1504 01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:29,240 Speaker 1: sleep all day in this giant suite. At night, six 1505 01:26:29,320 --> 01:26:32,479 Speaker 1: men come to my room and they stay here all night. 1506 01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:37,599 Speaker 1: We order coffee and food. The waiters come in two 1507 01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:39,400 Speaker 1: three in the morning. We're all sitting here in this 1508 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:41,679 Speaker 1: room together. The only other person here that's a female 1509 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:43,880 Speaker 1: is Kristen. And there's one guy ranting and raving, and 1510 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:47,000 Speaker 1: there's just they have no idea what's happening. I mean, 1511 01:26:47,040 --> 01:26:48,720 Speaker 1: they must be down there things. But you're gonna have 1512 01:26:48,800 --> 01:26:52,320 Speaker 1: an extra day, and so you're gonna go. You and 1513 01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,479 Speaker 1: Bla are going like we're gonna go sight see. I'm 1514 01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:57,240 Speaker 1: gonna go get some toys. Philiam, Oh, I should tell 1515 01:26:57,320 --> 01:27:00,320 Speaker 1: you one thing. No, no, that means another three eggs. 1516 01:27:01,080 --> 01:27:06,160 Speaker 1: I know, check your We get everybody in how much 1517 01:27:06,200 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 1: time do we have left? Because I want to tell 1518 01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:10,639 Speaker 1: a quick story. Let's do everybody before that, I took 1519 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:13,479 Speaker 1: her toy shopping once for Liam after what trip was that? 1520 01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,120 Speaker 1: We were in Bocca after a Rush Limbaugh. Okay, after 1521 01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:18,760 Speaker 1: we did the interview with Rush. So we go to 1522 01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:21,280 Speaker 1: a target. We go to the toy section first of 1523 01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:25,240 Speaker 1: all to come and you were in. I was gonna 1524 01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:26,880 Speaker 1: have to sit in the car, and I knew you'd 1525 01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,680 Speaker 1: take four hundred hours. So I went in with you. 1526 01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:33,720 Speaker 1: James was with me and what did and Gomez was 1527 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:35,640 Speaker 1: with me, my best friend from third grade. So we 1528 01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,760 Speaker 1: take out. She's like looking at every train and analyzing 1529 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,240 Speaker 1: it and looking at the price of the train. And 1530 01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 1: I looked at everybody. I'm like, you've got to be 1531 01:27:45,000 --> 01:27:48,679 Speaker 1: kidding me. And I took a basket and I started 1532 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,880 Speaker 1: throwing all the trains in the basket, and I said 1533 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 1: let's go no more decision. We know what happened to me. 1534 01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 1: I had to carry all those bags alone on amtrack. 1535 01:27:57,479 --> 01:28:00,320 Speaker 1: That's your pro the way home on amtrack alone. In 1536 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,080 Speaker 1: the kidding. You need to be able to make a 1537 01:28:03,160 --> 01:28:05,640 Speaker 1: decision fast. Okay, Kristen can tell you a story. Come on, 1538 01:28:05,840 --> 01:28:09,200 Speaker 1: what's your what is your memory that you're taken out? 1539 01:28:09,280 --> 01:28:10,839 Speaker 1: You need to get a little closer to the microphone. 1540 01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:13,439 Speaker 1: This is radio. Yeah, I know, sixty feet feels cool, 1541 01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:16,560 Speaker 1: but it's not. Okay, okay, well it's pretty cliche. But 1542 01:28:16,840 --> 01:28:19,400 Speaker 1: I think my favorite part of this trip was seeing 1543 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:23,840 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity on a scooter because Sean hates, you know, 1544 01:28:24,040 --> 01:28:25,840 Speaker 1: going out and about because he needs to stay on 1545 01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:29,400 Speaker 1: New York times. So he's just been cloistered in his 1546 01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:31,479 Speaker 1: room the entire time, and we've you know, been trying 1547 01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 1: to go out and see things. And then it turns 1548 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,880 Speaker 1: out that Sean Hannity does the coolest and bravest thing 1549 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:40,040 Speaker 1: out of all of us. So yeah, and the car 1550 01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:42,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Tom asks me because his seat 1551 01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 1: was wet because it was also raining that day. So uh, 1552 01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,840 Speaker 1: the next thing is like, oh, or is there something 1553 01:28:49,880 --> 01:28:52,240 Speaker 1: to wipe the seat? Off, I turn around, look back, 1554 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:57,519 Speaker 1: they're literally gone. So I'm like, alrighty, then, now you 1555 01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,560 Speaker 1: did make it. I would have made it, but no 1556 01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:05,800 Speaker 1: time to get dress, put makeup on. Ye all right, 1557 01:29:05,880 --> 01:29:08,600 Speaker 1: Dan Hoffman. Now, this is probably gonna be hard for 1558 01:29:08,680 --> 01:29:10,479 Speaker 1: you because you've been everywhere in the world and you're 1559 01:29:10,720 --> 01:29:13,160 Speaker 1: so used to being abroad for long periods of time. 1560 01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:16,320 Speaker 1: But I'm curious. You know, what is your takeaway as 1561 01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:20,120 Speaker 1: we leave? Well, actually, I think that I'm looking to 1562 01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 1: the future. You know, there's there's just so much yet 1563 01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,160 Speaker 1: to be done. I think we accomplished a lot at 1564 01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:28,200 Speaker 1: this summit, but uh, it's just you know, this is 1565 01:29:28,320 --> 01:29:30,280 Speaker 1: as different as anything could be for me from my 1566 01:29:30,640 --> 01:29:32,640 Speaker 1: thirty years I serve in the US government. Here I 1567 01:29:32,720 --> 01:29:34,960 Speaker 1: am now covering events for the media, which is a 1568 01:29:35,040 --> 01:29:37,040 Speaker 1: huge honor to be doing it with you and the 1569 01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:39,920 Speaker 1: outstanding team here. I'll tell you we all keep a 1570 01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:42,360 Speaker 1: seriousness of purpose, but you can tell there's a sense 1571 01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: of humor in the room, and I think that's how 1572 01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: you get by. But I'm just looking forward to where 1573 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:48,639 Speaker 1: this is going to take us over the coming weeks 1574 01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:51,960 Speaker 1: and months. You know, I've know that that is your 1575 01:29:52,040 --> 01:29:57,000 Speaker 1: life and your work and your passion, and so I 1576 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,680 Speaker 1: have a very good feeling about it. I think that 1577 01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,200 Speaker 1: every indication is is Kim's gonna go home. He's going 1578 01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:04,679 Speaker 1: to be in a state of shock for a couple 1579 01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:07,040 Speaker 1: of weeks because he didn't think Trump was gonna walk away. 1580 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:10,640 Speaker 1: And I think because other US presidents have capitulated and 1581 01:30:10,760 --> 01:30:14,599 Speaker 1: they have been weak, and I think that eventually he's 1582 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:16,280 Speaker 1: gonna say, all right, what's in the do I want 1583 01:30:16,320 --> 01:30:19,320 Speaker 1: this deal for my country of my people. And the 1584 01:30:19,439 --> 01:30:21,919 Speaker 1: President was saying, oh, this will be the biggest economic 1585 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,840 Speaker 1: success ever and it would be quickly. Uh, Thomas with us. 1586 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,479 Speaker 1: How many years you on the NYPD? I was twenty 1587 01:30:29,560 --> 01:30:33,320 Speaker 1: years with the NYPD. Yeah, now you now you're stuck 1588 01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:38,320 Speaker 1: protecting me in Vietnam on on a moped scooter, yet 1589 01:30:38,360 --> 01:30:42,200 Speaker 1: ten years with Fox. My takeaway is the coordination of 1590 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 1: assets here within the Lauren Flessman community, the support from 1591 01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,600 Speaker 1: the Secret Service, who could not have been better, the 1592 01:30:49,920 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 1: military assets. Um, it really ran smooth. It was a 1593 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:58,640 Speaker 1: well oiled machine support we had. So you're looking at 1594 01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:02,360 Speaker 1: it really like the bat. The backstory that nobody knows 1595 01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,800 Speaker 1: about our sees, Yes, exactly, it's an operation. It is 1596 01:31:05,880 --> 01:31:08,559 Speaker 1: and how many people did we meet in intelligence? How 1597 01:31:08,600 --> 01:31:11,960 Speaker 1: many people did we meet in law enforcement? Secret Service? 1598 01:31:13,240 --> 01:31:15,439 Speaker 1: The guys we were drinking with at the bar that 1599 01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:19,719 Speaker 1: one day, and Marines from Okinawa right that has been stationed. 1600 01:31:20,000 --> 01:31:22,519 Speaker 1: I saw them again. They were all getting pictures, not 1601 01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:24,040 Speaker 1: all of them, but most of them are getting pictures. 1602 01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:27,080 Speaker 1: Remember the big guy from Tennessee. Yeah, yeah, he was 1603 01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:30,040 Speaker 1: getting his picture taken with the president and he was 1604 01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:32,680 Speaker 1: right next to the President. Was like, twelve guys, Oh, 1605 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:34,200 Speaker 1: you want me to break and not talk about what 1606 01:31:34,320 --> 01:31:36,720 Speaker 1: I think? Great, So I'm to break so I don't 1607 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,439 Speaker 1: get to say what I'm taking out of this. You 1608 01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:40,840 Speaker 1: talk all the time. We'll get it later. Oh man, 1609 01:31:41,240 --> 01:31:44,519 Speaker 1: that's so called. I love all of you. Been amazing. 1610 01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,760 Speaker 1: None of this happens without we have such a great 1611 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,840 Speaker 1: the best staff in radio and TV ever, and an 1612 01:31:52,920 --> 01:31:55,560 Speaker 1: engineering team that is able to pull this off.
