Hawks News Legal Analysts, number one best 22 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: selling New York Times author Greg Jared is with us 23 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: before we get to a lot of the legal issues 24 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 1: of our time, and there's a ton of legal issues 25 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 1: in the news today. I do think this issue first 26 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: broken by John Solomon, but actually first broken by our 27 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: ensemble cast including Greg Jarrett, John Solomon and others as 28 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: it relates to Nelly Orr. And what we have discovered 29 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: is that the Department of Justice knew damn well a 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: long time ago that Nelly or who whose husband was 31 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: Bruce or deputy assistant district attorney or whatever what not 32 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: district attorney but attorney general, and that she was up 33 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: to her eyeballs working for Fusion GPS. They of course 34 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: were responsible for working with former MI six agent Christopher Steele. 35 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: They came up with the Dirty Russian disinformation dossier. That 36 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: dossier was then used four times even though it was debunked, 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 1: even after it was debunked in December of twenty twenty sixteen, 38 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,959 Speaker 1: and they still used it as the bulk of information 39 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: for the FAIZA applications. Call me signed three of the 40 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: four of them. You had to renew it every three months. 41 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,920 Speaker 1: And on page fifty three of Greg's number one best 42 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: selling book, he did point out all of this six 43 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: years ago. Greg Jarrett, take on a victory lap. You 44 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: deserve it. 45 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 4: Well, thanks, and again you were instrumental in all of this, 46 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 4: and you know we discussed it six years ago in 47 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 4: twenty nineteen when my book, Which Hunt, came out. So 48 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: I was reading through these newly declassified FBI documents showing 49 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: that Nelly Or gave false testimony, and I knew where 50 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 4: that had been written before, because I wrote it almost 51 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 4: word for word chapter two, page fifty three, and then 52 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: many pages thereafter, and I detailed all of her false statements. 53 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 4: I had gone through the testimony. I had also obtained 54 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: documents which showed the same thing. You know, she denied, 55 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: for example in her testimony, sharing her dossier research with 56 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 4: anybody at the Department of Justice. But as I wrote 57 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 4: in the book, there are three hundred and thirty nine 58 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: pages of emails showing that she sent it to at 59 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: least three prosecutors at the Department of Justice, and in fact, 60 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 4: those same emails proved that she knew of the DOJ's 61 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 4: parallel investigation of Trump, even though she testified to the 62 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 4: exact opposite. 63 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Well, it's important to remind people greg that that dirty dossier, 64 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: and there are even claims and people that believe in 65 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: and maybe you believe that she actually wrote at least 66 00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: part of it, if not all of it, that in 67 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: fact that they knew it was false, they didn't care, 68 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: and it without any real basis to start an investigation. 69 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: It became the impetus for the opening of what was 70 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: known then as and now as Operation Crossfire Hurricane, which 71 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: was the Russia hoax. 72 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, she helped research at least two phony dossiers on 73 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 4: Trump that essentially were mimicked or merged into Christopher Steele's 74 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 4: infamous bogus dossier. Then she and her husband Bruce or 75 00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:56,720 Speaker 4: the number four at the Department of Justice, met secretly 76 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 4: with Christopher Steele nine am at the a Flower Hotel 77 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 4: in Washington, DC on July thirty, twenty sixteen. I wrote 78 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 4: all of this in my book, Which Hunt, and that 79 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 4: date's important because the very next day, the Crossfire Hurricane 80 00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 4: investigation of Trump was launched without any legal basis, no 81 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 4: credible evidence, and in direct violation of FBI regulations. So, 82 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: as you and I were talking last night, it was 83 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 4: crooked top to bottom, and James Cumy knew at the 84 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 4: outset that it was all a complete fiction. He didn't care. 85 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 4: He hated Donald Trump so much he was willing to 86 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,159 Speaker 4: abuse the law, lie to the courts to see the 87 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 4: American people all to take down President Trump. And you know, 88 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 4: the lesson here is the people we entrust to enforce 89 00:05:55,040 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 4: the law can themselves become law breakers. And yet none 90 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,720 Speaker 4: of them were ever charged or held accountable. 91 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: Well, I think that's the key thing. They weren't charged, 92 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: they weren't held accountable. And I guess the statute of 93 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: limitations probably by this point has run out on this, 94 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: you know, And it's very interesting as you watch this, 95 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: for example, all these issues, the media has had a 96 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: reckoning in two thousand and seven, and again, give me 97 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 1: a little bit of time to set this up here. 98 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: In two thousand and seven, I said journalism is dead. 99 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: After this past election, I said legacy media is dead. 100 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: They just don't know it yet. And I think it's 101 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: it's coming to be true and proven more true every 102 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: single day. I mean, you know, if you look at 103 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 1: fake Jake Tappa, for example, I mean his show has 104 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,960 Speaker 1: hit the lowest ratings they've ever had since twenty fifteen. 105 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,799 Speaker 1: So the legacy media mob, I would argue, is paying 106 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 1: a price. And I don't think they'll ever get credibility back. 107 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: These bureaucrats that were in the what we call deep state, 108 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 1: they were not held accountable But back to the media. 109 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean I learned a lesson because I was on 110 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 1: the air when the Atlanta Journal Constitution came out with oh, 111 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: Richard Jewel fits the profile of the lone bomber. He 112 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: lives with his mother, And I said on the air, 113 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know Richard Jewel was listening to me, and 114 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: I ended up getting one of the first interviews with 115 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: him as a result, I said, just because he lives 116 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: with his mother does not make him a terrorist. This 117 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. And I was the only one that did it. 118 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 1: And he said that to me. And now when I 119 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: was shocked when he said it, but it opened my 120 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: eyes and I didn't rush to judgment. The media got wrong. 121 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: Duke Lacrosse, we got it right, you were on My 122 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: show off. And then we got Uva right. We got 123 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: Fergus of Missouri right, hands up, don't shoot, never happened. 124 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: We got Freddie Graham Baltimore right, because we had sources. 125 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: I had a source in the George Zimmerman case that 126 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: told me early on. Now there's going to be eyewitness 127 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: testimony that will claim that it was George Zimmerman screaming 128 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: because his head was being pounded into the cement and 129 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: that would probably mitigate any any guilty verdict. And they 130 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: got every one of those issues wrong, and they rushed 131 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: to judgment every time. So there's this unholy alliance with 132 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: the legacy media and this deep state, and they never 133 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: get held accountable, though I would argue media is being 134 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: held accountable because people don't trust them. Sorry that took 135 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: so long. 136 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 4: No, it's worth reciting. And you know, back in two 137 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: thousand and seven seven, when you predicted that or pronounced 138 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 4: the mainstream media dead, you weren't just prescient. You had 139 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 4: eyes and ears and you were paying attention, and you 140 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,760 Speaker 4: saw what they were doing. They were rushing to judgment, 141 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 4: they were allowing their own political bias to infect their 142 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,199 Speaker 4: reporting in not just the stories they chose to publish, 143 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 4: but the way they told those stories. And what's so 144 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 4: interesting about all the examples that you just recited quite accurately, 145 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 4: I must add, is that there was never any maya 146 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 4: culpa from the mainstream media for getting it wrong. They 147 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 4: never apologized for it. And the Russia hoax was the 148 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 4: classic example when in the end they were finally forced 149 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,960 Speaker 4: to admit the New York Times or the Washington Post 150 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 4: they got it wrong. They didn't give back their Piluitzer prize. No, 151 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 4: they just moved on to the next faux scandal that 152 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: they either generated or inflated and never looked back at 153 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 4: all of their chronic mistakes. They never apologized to the 154 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 4: American people. But Americans are smart, and that's why they 155 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 4: no longer trust people in the mainstream media. They have 156 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 4: utterly lost faith in them because they have gotten it 157 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 4: wrong so many times, and not just innocuous mistakes. 158 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: It was on with malice, It really was, Greg and 159 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 1: all credit to you. And here's the even the more 160 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: the irony, and it gets more ironic, is that they 161 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: got pullitzerprises. Now I'm not saying that we deserve a 162 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: Pullet surprise, but there was a very very small circle 163 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: of us that were doggedly all over the Russia hoax. 164 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: We spent about three years of our lives covering that story, 165 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: unfeeling every layer of the onion. You are a big 166 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 1: part of the coverage. John Solomon, Sarah Carter, Catherine Herridge, 167 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: and I'm gonna miss names here, but there wasn't many more, 168 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: and maybe about six sources that were so rock solid. 169 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 1: And we protect our sources because we are members of 170 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: the press. But you know, but for those six people 171 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: or seven people maximum, you know, the story never would 172 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 1: have been told. 173 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, I had good sources, You had 174 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 4: good sources, but a lot of it was in the 175 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 4: public sphere, and journalists', mainstream journalists became incredibly lazy. They 176 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 4: were happy to jump on the I hate Trump bandwagon. He's, 177 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 4: you know, a Russian stooge who colluded in the bowels 178 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 4: of the Kremlin with Vladimir Putin. I looked at a 179 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 4: lot of his as a lawyer, and I began with 180 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: the FBAI regulations. I said, wait a minute, comy's violating 181 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 4: the regulations. He has no credible evidence, none, zero, And. 182 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: Yet but you even took it further than that, because 183 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:39,199 Speaker 1: after he knew definitively in December of twenty sixteen, that 184 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 1: they knew by then that it was debunked, Christopher Steele 185 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,119 Speaker 1: was fired, and in spite of that, they still continued 186 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: to use that dirty Russian disinformation tossier that Hillary paid 187 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: for as the bulk of information before the Pfizer court. Now, 188 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 1: the law you pointed out to me at the time 189 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:00,600 Speaker 1: required that if you make a mistake, go back to 190 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: the court immediately and. 191 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: Tell them, Yeah, I poured through all of those applications 192 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,800 Speaker 4: to the Fiser court. James Commy's on name and signature 193 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 4: is on three of the four, and of mccab on 194 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 4: another one, including Rod Rosenstein, by the way, and that's 195 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 4: a whole other story. But look what he was doing 196 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: was telling the court that this is based on the dossier. 197 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 4: The dossier is credible, and Christopher Steele is reliable, without 198 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 4: telling the court that Steele was not reliable, in fact, 199 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 4: so unreliable and such a liar that the FBI fired 200 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 4: Steele as a confidential human source for a line, but 201 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: they didn't disclose that to the court. Now what is that? 202 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 4: That's lyne to the court. And if I ever did 203 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 4: that in front of a judge, I better bring my 204 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: toothbrush because I'm going to be held in criminal contempt. 205 00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: And yet you don't have to worry. Does that come 206 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: with the cake and a fly? You'd be good? 207 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 4: Thanks pal, I appreciate it. But look, the point here 208 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 4: is that these people were getting away with it. You know, 209 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,959 Speaker 4: James coming in his whole crooked gang at the FBI, 210 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 4: and they're still getting away with it because they were 211 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: never held accountable. It apparently is not enough for you 212 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: and I and John Solomon and others and Catherine herrid 213 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 4: to disclose the truth backed up by documentary proof. That's 214 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 4: apparently not enough. And you know this, Nelly or they 215 00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:39,200 Speaker 4: buried that classified document for the better part of a 216 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: decade until you know, Cash Betel came in started going 217 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:47,439 Speaker 4: through the vaults where all this stuff is hidden away 218 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 4: so that nobody would ever see it, and he began 219 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,160 Speaker 4: to go through it and reveal it to the American public. 220 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 4: They deserve the truth. And you know, God blessed the 221 00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 4: Cash Betel for doing it. It takes a lot of courage. 222 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: All right, quick, freak. We'll come right back and we'll 223 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: continue more. Greg Jarrett on the other side, we'll hit 224 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: the phones as well. Eight hundred and nine four one, Shawn, 225 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, 226 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: all right, we have the fourth of July coming. Don't 227 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: you want to fly the American flag with pride? Don't 228 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: you feel when you're in your more quiet and introspective moments, 229 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 1: aren't you glad and grateful and humbled that you live 230 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: in the greatest country God gave man. I remember writing 231 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: a friend of mine. I was in I was in 232 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. I was in Rihat, I said, man, I 233 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: missed the Free State of Florida. It was hot and 234 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: it was an arid desert. All right. We continue now 235 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 1: with number one New York Times bestselling author. Fox News 236 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 1: legal analyst Greg Jarreeded is with us. You know how 237 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: I know that I'm right and we were right on 238 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: this program. We started chronicling Joe's cognitive decline in twenty nineteen, 239 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: and I've proven that on radio. And We're going to 240 00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: go deep in the pain tonight on Hannity on TV 241 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: on this because I think it's the biggest White House 242 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: and presidential scandal in history what they did. And I'm sorry, 243 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: but I'm going to be dogged on this because it 244 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: and please watch the Night Show. It's going to be definitive. 245 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: Is the media ignores me when I'm right. They ignored 246 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: my reporting on his cognitive decline, except to criticize me 247 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 1: occasionally and take cheap shots a hit and run. But 248 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: it's the same with the Russia hoax. They never followed 249 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: our lead. They were clear watching every single night. They 250 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: knew the truth and they didn't care. 251 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 4: Last word, Well, you were talking about it. In twenty nineteen. 252 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 4: I went back and I pulled a August twenty twenty podcast. 253 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: I warned that if Joe Biden was elected, he would 254 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 4: be a marionette president, manipulated by White House puppeteers. That 255 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 4: literally was the title of my podcast. Of course, that's 256 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: exactly what happened. Puppeteers were pulling the strings his White 257 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: House aides, his wife, and you know, once again, I 258 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 4: was simply paying attention as you were paying attention. We 259 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 4: could see it with our own eyes. The mainstream media 260 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:18,280 Speaker 4: wanted people to deny what their eyes and ears they were. 261 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 1: Calling it in late twenty four cheap fake videos. They 262 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: were mocking us, and we were playing very real videos. 263 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: I have to run, but I will tell you it 264 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: makes me proud to be associated with people like you 265 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: and John and Sarah and everybody that was part of 266 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: our ensemble cast. We you know, we all dug down 267 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 1: as deep as we could, and our staves also worked 268 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: so hard on those issues. And we like being right 269 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 1: and if we're wrong, we'll admit it. But that's something 270 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: they won't do. Craig Jarrett, appreciate you. 271 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 4: Being with us, my friend, and so thank you to 272 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: you as well have. 273 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: A great weekend.

Well, 300 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,320 Speaker 1: we've been talking a lot about the Democrats and how 301 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: they're sinking. There's a great article in Salon How long 302 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: will Democrats sink before the DNC acts. I don't think 303 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,640 Speaker 1: they're going to be able to act. There's no way. Well, 304 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: first of all, there aren't many moderates to begin with. 305 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two. They continue to remain woke. 306 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 1: You heard AOC talking about, oh, let's let's abolish ice. 307 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 1: You know, they keep on this narrative that they want 308 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: to defend the right of men and champion the rights 309 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,640 Speaker 1: of men to play women's sports. They continue to champion 310 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 1: the rights of illegals, even gang members and cartel members 311 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: over the safety of Americans. They continue to think that 312 00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,920 Speaker 1: if you try to reign in insane government spending and 313 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: rob from our kids and grandkids, that you're a horrible person. 314 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: I think the most amusing part of all of it, 315 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 1: to me, though, is the fact that they have no 316 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: clue what has happened to them. They have no clue 317 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: and no understanding of why the American people are rejecting 318 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: them in droves. They don't understand that most Americans don't 319 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:42,119 Speaker 1: want taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegal immigrants and 320 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 1: for convicted felons the way Kamala Harris did. They don't 321 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: want to pay for college tuition for illegal immigrants. They 322 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: want people to follow the law. They want people vetted 323 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 1: before they enter our country. And I think what made 324 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: me laugh the most this week is this insanity of 325 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: the left when it was announced that they're spending twenty 326 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 1: million taxpayer dollars twenty million to figure out how come 327 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 1: we talked to men, especially younger men, Hey, bro, how 328 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,920 Speaker 1: are you?

He's now the author of the book 333 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: Men Don't Run in the Rain. He's the host of 334 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 1: the hit Rick Burgess show for many years. It was 335 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: the Rick and Bubba Show.

I had so much fun doing that. 340 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, you never saw Bubba and talk to yourself, 341 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 5: now there's a tennis player. 342 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: No, no, you never saw Bubba said, yeah, there's a 343 00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: great tennis player. But he was a great guy, and 344 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: you guys had an incredible run together. And I'm glad 345 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: you're continuing in broadcasting, and I'm wishing him all the best. 346 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: He's been a great friend of the show, as you 347 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:10,960 Speaker 1: have been. By the way, So the name of your 348 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,879 Speaker 1: book is Men Don't Run in the Rain, A son's 349 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: reflections on life, faith, and on an iconic father. And 350 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:20,639 Speaker 1: I want to talk a little bit about it, but first, 351 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: I mean twenty million dollars Democrats spending to learn how 352 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to talk to men? Hey, Rick, how are you? What's up? 353 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 5: Bro? 354 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 1: How you doing? What's going on? I want to catch 355 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: a Bruski together. I mean, what the hell is that? 356 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 5: I can't imagine my dad? You know, because this book 357 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 5: represents a dying generation. Now, don't forget the laughter. The 358 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,160 Speaker 5: very people that won, one hand told us that men 359 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 5: and women are not beautifully distinct, they're interchangeable, that women 360 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 5: can be me and men can be women. But all 361 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 5: of a sudden they decided that they're going to lead 362 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 5: the way on how to talk to me. And after 363 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 5: telling us there's no such thing as men and women, 364 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: only the could have that kind of logic. 365 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's all true, but I mean, if you have 366 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: to study that question, that means you don't have any authenticity. 367 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: You know. I learned very early in my career that 368 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 1: the only way I was going to be successful is 369 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: to just be myself. When when I first started and 370 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: talk radio, I had listened to guys like Bob gret Hey, 371 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: get off my phone, you creep, you scum bag, you know, 372 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So when I started at radio, 373 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,080 Speaker 1: I try to be like that, and I realized that's 374 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: not really who I am, and I just evolved into 375 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: myself more and more, and you you can't fake it 376 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: for three hours a day, and your authentic self is 377 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: coming out period under sentence if you're going to have 378 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: any level of success. But what I love about you is, 379 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: you know you guys cut up, you have a good time, 380 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 1: you laugh, you tell jokes, but then you also have 381 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 1: a serious side. You're very open about your Christian faith 382 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: and your book A Son's Reflections on Life, faith and 383 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: an iconic father. Few things shape a life more profoundly 384 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: than the lessons of a father. Well, that's going to 385 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: make the left in this country bubble and fiss like 386 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 1: Alca Saltzer, you know, because you know it's too masculine 387 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: in its title. 388 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,120 Speaker 5: Yeah, you're exactly right. And that title men Don't Run 389 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 5: in the Rain, it came from you know, I remember 390 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 5: growing up and you remember these men, Shane. I mean 391 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 5: you saw them and they were men. They didn't apologize 392 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 5: for being men. And now, what at one time we 393 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 5: called basic masculinity, the left just tried to label toxic masculinity. 394 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 5: Now there is a toxic masculinity, and there are men 395 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 5: who who are a detriment to society. But just because 396 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 5: a person is masculine, it does not make it toxic. 397 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 5: There was also a beautiful masculinity that I believe was 398 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 5: created by God when he made them male and female, 399 00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:00,160 Speaker 5: made them equal but beautifully distinct. And I remember seeing 400 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 5: my father. It was raining and I was just a child. 401 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 5: I was a little boy, and I noticed that he 402 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 5: never changed his gate. He was walking in the rain 403 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 5: as if there were no rain falling at all. And 404 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 5: he came over and even my friend he said, did 405 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 5: you know that your dad doesn't run in the rain. 406 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 5: And I'm like, no, I've never seen him run in 407 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 5: the rain. So when I became a teenager, and he 408 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 5: was the athletic director and football coach at the local 409 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 5: high school, I was in the junior high program. So 410 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 5: you know, Mom said ride home with your dad when 411 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: he's done. So we were about to go out to 412 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 5: his truck, you know, three on the column like real 413 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 5: men drove, and so it started raining. You know, we're 414 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 5: from Alabama, you know just about every summer afternoon, you're 415 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 5: going to get some sort of rain because the humidity. 416 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 5: And I went to run to his truck and he 417 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:48,679 Speaker 5: took his massive forearm shine and he just stopped me 418 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,200 Speaker 5: and he said, men don't run in the rain, we 419 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 5: walked to the true I kind of love that. 420 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,719 Speaker 1: That's a pretty cool story about your dad, and it's 421 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: very old school. Yeah, you're right. It would you called 422 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: toxic masculinity, you know, I said to where I was 423 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 1: having this conversation with a friend of mine, I mean, 424 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: you know, what does it mean to be the head 425 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 1: of your household or the man in the home? Well, 426 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: in my view, and I don't care if people want 427 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: to call me Bam Bam or Fred Flintstone. If there's 428 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: an intruder in my house and my family is there, 429 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm going to be the one that goes out and 430 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: takes care of the threat. That's my job. I view 431 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,400 Speaker 1: it as my job. And even though quote I view 432 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: myself as quote the head of the household. You're the 433 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: man of the household, but you're a gentleman. It's like 434 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,880 Speaker 1: I still believe in the old fashioned way of opening 435 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,240 Speaker 1: doors for women in a car. I believe men should 436 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: pay for a date. You know, this idea of if 437 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 1: you pay half, I pay half. I don't. I don't 438 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: get that. I wasn't raised that way. I was taught 439 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: that you don't say certain words to a woman ever, 440 00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 1: except Linda because she uses them more than me. 441 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 5: Well, let's say, said, Linda's a different case. But when 442 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 5: you're our household, you said that correctly. My dad was 443 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 5: clearly the authoritative figure in the home, but it was 444 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 5: a servant leadership. He was our protector. I remember. I 445 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 5: mean the day he passed away, my mother was there 446 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 5: and my wife was there, and my mother and my 447 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,280 Speaker 5: wife both said the same thing. When he passed. There 448 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,159 Speaker 5: was a moment where my wife looked at me and 449 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 5: she said, he was our protector. He was the patriarch 450 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 5: of the family, the very thing the left is trying 451 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 5: to remove from society. And if there was a moment 452 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 5: there when I realized it would now shift to me, 453 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 5: it would shift to my brother, and we realized there 454 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 5: was a passing of the torch. But there was a 455 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,720 Speaker 5: certain comfort he brought because we knew what you said, 456 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 5: Sean would he would make sure that nothing could ever 457 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 5: harm us. But at the same time he opened the 458 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 5: door for my mother. He told us, never disrespect our mother. 459 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 5: I better never hear you say a harsh word to 460 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 5: your mother. And he served our house as well as 461 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 5: led our house. And he had a humility that was 462 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 5: something that's been lost, and I'm trying to use this 463 00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 5: book to say these kind of men are leaving our society. 464 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 5: So we can use this platform where I can share 465 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 5: this incredible man, this true original with a generation that 466 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 5: aren't being taught this. 467 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: All right, quick break, We'll come back more with Rick Burgess, 468 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: radio host, author of the brand new book Men Don't 469 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: Run in the Rain, A Son's Reflections of Life, faith, 470 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: and an Iconicfather.

I 484 00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 5: think from the planet. He loathed it. He raises that 485 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,680 Speaker 5: I would never forget my brother and I one time 486 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 5: set the woods on fire, the stories in the book, 487 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,479 Speaker 5: and after what we did was so stupid. And he 488 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 5: looked at us and he said, boys, if I had 489 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 5: ordered a truckload of stupid people and all I got 490 00:28:43,200 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 5: were you two, I would have got my money's worth. 491 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,320 Speaker 1: I love that.

I didn't 496 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: have to. I just took their stuff and that was enough. 497 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 1: But I can tell you that I deserved it every time, 498 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: every single time. And it didn't traumatize me. 499 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 5: No, because my dad loved me enough to discipline us. 500 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 5: Our only version of time out was asking for one 501 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 5: when he got developed out after exactly, Hey Dad, how 502 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,480 Speaker 5: about a time out?

He could not stand for 506 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 5: a man to make excuses. He said, if you make 507 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:41,720 Speaker 5: a mistake, own it. What a strange concept nowadays. If 508 00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,560 Speaker 5: you make a mistake, don't make an excuse, just own it, 509 00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 5: correct it, and do it do it right the next time. 510 00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 5: But don't don't shuck your responsibility. Don't shirk that. Don't 511 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 5: say that, hey, I slipped. I remember one time, you know, 512 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 5: playing for him, a guy your breaks containment on that side, 513 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 5: and he said, I'm sorry, coach, I slipped. You said, 514 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 5: just tell me you didn't get the job done. How 515 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:05,560 Speaker 5: about this, You can't slip, don't make any excuse, Just 516 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 5: say you didn't get the job done, and then get 517 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 5: back up on the next play and do it right. 518 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,360 Speaker 5: You know, now everything, everybody's got an excuse for everything. 519 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 5: No one owns anything anymore. 520 00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: I will tell you the words I was wrong, I'm sorry. 521 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, they're not used often enough. They really aren't, 522 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 1: and they're very powerful words. And those are things that 523 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 1: I learned from my parents. My parents were very devout. 524 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: They grew up really really poor, and they understood why 525 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,720 Speaker 1: working was so critical to life and developing a strong 526 00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,600 Speaker 1: work ethic. You know, I was twelve years old. I 527 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: get home two three in the morning and nobody was 528 00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: waiting up. Nobody cared. They didn't know that I had 529 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: two Saint Pauli girls at the bar before I left 530 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:54,600 Speaker 1: to twelve, and I'd fly home on my bicycle. That 531 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: part I didn't tell them. 532 00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 4: You know, a work ethic. 533 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 5: If you could pass that along to your kids, well, 534 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:04,280 Speaker 5: you know what we do, Sean. I'll tell the mistake 535 00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 5: we make, and I hope this book helps. We worked 536 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,959 Speaker 5: so hard to give our children the things we didn't 537 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 5: have when we really need to concentrate. If you were 538 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 5: raised the way you and I were raised, don't forget 539 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 5: to give them the things that you did have. Discipline, 540 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 5: a work ethic, you know, learn to look a man 541 00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,360 Speaker 5: in the eye, learn to shake hands, learn to do 542 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,840 Speaker 5: a good interview. You know, learn the difference between confidence 543 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 5: and arrogance. You know, we talk about that in the book. 544 00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 5: You know, learn to be tough and push through adversity. 545 00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 5: You know. My dad had a question that he would 546 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 5: always ask when you know you were hurt, He would say, 547 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 5: can you go? And you know, at one time I 548 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,920 Speaker 5: didn't really fully understand that it wasn't about football. I 549 00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 5: can't tell you the things that I faced in my life. 550 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 5: And concluding, as you know, Sean, you you actually helped 551 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 5: walk through that with me when my youngest son died. 552 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,280 Speaker 5: That's when I understood when he was teaching me, Hey, 553 00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:00,600 Speaker 5: can you go? He was teaching me something about toughness 554 00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 5: that was much larger than the game of football. 555 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:05,880 Speaker 1: I think that's the hardest thing that any parent can 556 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:07,880 Speaker 1: go through, and I remember it well, I really do, 557 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:13,200 Speaker 1: and I to this day, I feel horrible for you. 558 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,360 Speaker 1: And I know your son's in a better place and 559 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: you'll be with him again, but it's not easy. By 560 00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: the way, the word confidence, some people think being confident 561 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:22,880 Speaker 1: is arrogant. It's not. It's from the Latin. It means 562 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: with deity, meaning you put God first, which is a 563 00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: big part of the message in your book as well. 564 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I guess we're both very fortunate, Rick, 565 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: and that we both stand on the shoulders of unbelievably 566 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: loving parents that sacrifice so much for us. And I 567 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 1: hope people will get a lot out of your book. 568 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: We're going to put it on Hannity dot com, It's 569 00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 1: on Amazon dot com, It's now in bookstores around the country, 570 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:48,640 Speaker 1: and it is Men Don't Run in the rain a 571 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 1: son's reflections of life and faith, and an iconic father. 572 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 1: And look, a few things shape life more profoundly than 573 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,760 Speaker 1: the lessons of a great dad.
