1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,400 Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this. What's going 2 00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 1: on with an airplane, this plane that was shot down 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,959 Speaker 1: in the middle of all of this mess. I just 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,120 Speaker 1: saw this cross the wire with CBS News. I don't 5 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: have this, but I'm looking at it and reading it, 6 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, really, CBS News reporting that officials are 7 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: confident the RAND shut Now, Linda, i'd see you your 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: interest in this, and we'll explain why in a minute. 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 1: But are confident that a RAND shot down that Ukrainian jetliner. 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: It was odd they wouldn't even consider handing over the 11 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: black box to Boeing. It was a seven thirty seven. 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: Yet again, anyway, according to they're saying, hours after the 13 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 1: Iranian missible tackle on US targets earlier this week, CBS 14 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,520 Speaker 1: News has learned Ukrainian International Airlines plane crash Wednesday soon 15 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: after takeoff. I did watch one commentator on TV suggesting that, 16 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: well it happened that eight thousand feet eight thousand feet 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: a plane wouldn't just dive right down to the ground 18 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: if lost its engine power. But anyway, intelligence picked up 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: signals of radar being turned on and US satellites, they're saying, 20 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: according to CBS News, detected two surface to air missile launches, 21 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: which happened shortly after the plane exploded, and federal officials 22 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: were briefed on the intelligence on Thursday. Source who was 23 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: in the briefings that it appears the missile components were 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: found nearby, lay on, I gotta get page two of that. 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: So I don't know the answer. To a business insider, 26 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I'm giving you again their coverage. Flight seven fifty two 27 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 1: is now believed to have been hit by fire from 28 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: a Russian built toward M one say fifteen surface to 29 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: air missile operated by the Iranian military. Citing a US official, 30 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: ABC News reporting the US intelligence was confident or Ran 31 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: painted the Ukrainian airliner with radar. In other words, they 32 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: tried to hide it firing two surface to air missiles 33 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: and then raised questions who might have been an airplane. 34 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: Images appearing now show missile fragment said to have been 35 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 1: found outside of Tehran. Circulating on social media has been 36 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,680 Speaker 1: a Look, I want to give everyone a heads up here. 37 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: I don't want everyone to get ahead of themselves. It's 38 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: been a lot of lying, fake video all over social media, 39 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: and look, there's a lot of good information out there. 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: I just I we just want to be careful. I 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 1: don't want to give you fake information. But ABC and 42 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: CBS and now going forward with that. So we'll watch, 43 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: We'll wait and obviously report to you at any point 44 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: we get new information about it. Now. Oh, Mitch McConnell, 45 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: the Senate Majority Leader is going to join us. Doesn't 46 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: do a lot of interviews. Glad to have him. There's 47 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: a lot of news obviously, Warpowers Act, the impeachment, sham 48 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: trial that I guess is going to take place. He 49 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: seems to have won his battle against Nancy Belosi and 50 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: she's not going to dictate to Mitch McConnell how he's 51 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: going to handle the impeachment as the Senate Majority leader. 52 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: We got a new tape of Chucky Schumer. In fact, 53 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: Schumer ran on the fact that he was gonna at Clinton. 54 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: That's how abusively biased he was to get lectures from him, 55 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: is ridiculous. Will play that in the course of the 56 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: show too. Today. Now, I will say, you know, you 57 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 1: watch all of what the mob and the media is doing, insane. 58 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: You watch the Shift show. Remember he had the audition 59 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: Shift show that was behind closed doors. I still don't 60 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: think we've gotten every transcript either why he's hiding it, 61 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. Person that ought to have been auditioning 62 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: and interviewed and put under oath and still should be 63 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: his shift himself because he lied as usual, He's a 64 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: congenital liar. He's compromised in this particular case as it 65 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: relates to the non whistleblower. Hearsay whistle blower wasn't really 66 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 1: a whistleblower, and the contact he in his office had 67 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 1: with the whistleblower non whistleblower. But anyway, all during that process, 68 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 1: eating straight up until Christmas, they took us. You know, 69 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: I had to work one of those again. I came 70 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: in a few days, stayed more days than I had 71 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: planned by the end of the year, which is when 72 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 1: I take my long vacation every year. And I stayed 73 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: because it was too important. And anyway, remember what the 74 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: Democrats were saying. Now Pelosi is saying that she will 75 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: keep now the articles the Senator agrees until the Senator 76 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: agrees to hard terms for a trial. Well that's not 77 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 1: what the Constitution of the United States calls for. That 78 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: is well, I guess what Nancy Pelosi wants to have. 79 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: But that is not exactly what the process is. Article 80 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: two of the Constitution is very very clear on the 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: issue of impeachment and the United States, you know, it 82 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: was very clear, and the Constitution establishes the executive branch 83 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: federal government, carries out and enforces federal laws. Article too 84 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,280 Speaker 1: vest power of the executive branch, the Office of the President, 85 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 1: lays out the procedures for electing, removing the president. Establishes 86 00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: the president's powers, responsibilities, And if you go down a 87 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: little further, you talk about Section one lays out procedures 88 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: for the electoral college, which Democrats would like to change. 89 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: It's like they would like to change the issues involved. 90 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: They want to stack the courts. Now. Article two lays 91 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: out the powers of the presidency. Yep, the president is 92 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: the commander in chief. The president gets pardons or a 93 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 1: certain limits set to the executive branch power. I certainly 94 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: think that all of this is very very clear. And 95 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: then you get, for example, articles being laid out. Article 96 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: three lays out responsibilities of the president, State of the Union, address, 97 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: commander in chief, receiving foreign representatives, granting the president the 98 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: power to convene both Houses of Congress. And you get 99 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: to section four and you get to the impeachment part 100 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,000 Speaker 1: of this. President, vice president, all civil officers of the 101 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,840 Speaker 1: US shall be removed from office on impeachment for conviction 102 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: of treason, bribery, or other high times or misdemeanors. It 103 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 1: also allows for involuntary, if you will, removal from office 104 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: for the President by cabinet secretaries. We've talked about that 105 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: in the course of all of this, but it's very 106 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: clear as it relates to the who gets what power 107 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: wear and how does the process of impeachment work. Well, 108 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,159 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, they have the power solely as 109 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the House of Representatives, President, vice president, all civil officers 110 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 1: shall be removed from office. That is in the hands 111 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: of the US House of Representatives. I can give you 112 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,520 Speaker 1: the background and the history of it, but I don't 113 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: think it's even that important. Because the House brings impeachment 114 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: charges against federal officials, in this case the president. That's 115 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: part of their oversight, their investigatory responsibilities. You have. Individual 116 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 1: members of the House can introduce impeachment resolutions. We've seen 117 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: a lot of that. Like an ordinary bill. House could 118 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: initiate proceedings by passing a resolution authorizing the inquiry. We 119 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: watch that the Committee of the Judiciary ordinarily has jurisdiction 120 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: over impeachments. We saw the weird little power play that 121 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi moved it over to the House Intel Committee 122 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: and the compromise corrupt Schiff instead of Nadler, and then 123 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: Nadler had his little say in the whole process. We 124 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: know it has not been used a lot. Three times 125 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: in the case of presidents fifteen judges have been impeached 126 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: by the House sixty times total when you include judge 127 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: federal judges only eight in that particular case, and that 128 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: the Senate holds the trial. Nancy Pelosi would like to 129 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: say it doesn't anyway. What did the Democrats say all 130 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: this time leading up to Christmas? They were telling us 131 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: again and again that they want this. Pelosi assured the public, 132 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: we want this done expeditiously. Pelosi said, we can't wait 133 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: for the courts to weigh in on the subpoenas, meaning 134 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: the executive privilege question that the Supreme Court agreed to 135 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: take up fulfilling its constitutional role of resolving conflict between 136 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the executive and legislative branches of Congress. And we had 137 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: the Judiciary Committee's report declaring, quote, we must act immediately. 138 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 1: You had the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar Shift arguing it 139 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: is an urgent matter that cannot wait if we are 140 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: to protect the nation security and the integrity of our elections. 141 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: And you had the hypocrite Jerry Nadler. He didn't even 142 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: want the Star report released, which, by the way, under 143 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:43,440 Speaker 1: the Independent Council Statute mandated to be released. But yet 144 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,320 Speaker 1: he was demanding the Special counsel Or report be released 145 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: and everything that consisted as the predicate for it at 146 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: also released. And that statute doesn't even call for that. 147 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: They didn't have to release anything, you know, all of it. 148 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: We've got to act now to protect our elections, Ersband 149 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:04,880 Speaker 1: Jamie Raskin, safeguard our constitutional democracy. We have a sense 150 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: of urgency. One after another after another, Democrats argued impeachment 151 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: was time limited in an urgent task. Okay, well, then 152 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: where is it? They did their thing? Now what's happened 153 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 1: is the crack the damn is broken. Floodgates are now open, 154 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: if you will, because we have fifty eight percent of 155 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: the American people think Pelosi should send the articles over, 156 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: and I would argue it is probably be much higher, 157 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: and I think Diane Feinstein pretty much summed it up 158 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: for everybody, because I think she's fed up with all 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: of this garbage. Because for her to actually say, if 160 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: it's serious and urgent, like you've been telling us, send 161 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: them over. If it isn't, don't send them over, that's 162 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: Diane Feinstein. And she then she goes on to say, 163 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: if we're gonna do it, I don't see what good 164 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: delay does. Now. Senator christ Murphy said, I think the 165 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,559 Speaker 1: time has passed. Send the articles over, Joe Mansion. It 166 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 1: needs to start now, Angus King, it's time for the 167 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 1: speaker to send the articles. Doug Jones he wants to 168 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: get reelected in Alabama. I don't think the odds are good, 169 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: but anyway, hoping Pelosi will submit the articles because most 170 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: people are ready to get moving on this. Bloomenthal even 171 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: saying we're reaching the point where the articles should be sent. 172 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: John Tester is saying it. Even Chris Coon's the partisan, 173 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: he isn't saying it now. Why what happened to all 174 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:30,439 Speaker 1: the urgency on this? Where did it go? House democrats 175 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:35,959 Speaker 1: also are now losing patience now. Pelosi, she said earlier today, 176 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: she will send the articles when I'm ready. Oh okay, no, 177 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm not holding them indefinitely. I will turn them over 178 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: when I am ready, and that will probably be soon probably. 179 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: Congressman Adam Smith, Democratic Chairman House Arm Services Committee. I 180 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: think it is perfectly advisable for the speaker to try 181 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: and leverage that to get a better deal. But at 182 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,160 Speaker 1: this point doesn't look like that's gonna happen. Looks like 183 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell, who will join us at the top of 184 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 1: the next hour, has won, and by the way, he 185 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: won the constitutional argument on all of this. And Pelosi 186 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: apparently hit the roof after hearing Smith's comments. Sounds like 187 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: she sent out the enforcers to browbeat the poor guy 188 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: and make him change his mind, and within hours Smith 189 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: will say, oh, I misspoke this morning. I love I 190 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: love how they give into the pressure. But you know 191 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:31,400 Speaker 1: what they do, right they Maybe you don't know. They'll 192 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: tell people either you vote this way, you're not going 193 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: to get the committee assignment you want. Oh, this like 194 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: a quid pro quel like Joe, Oh, sound that? Because 195 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: I know that goes on. Maybe we should invest to 196 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,640 Speaker 1: get all the quitting and proing and quoeing that goes 197 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,600 Speaker 1: on in Congress, you want to sit on that committee 198 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: that impacts your particular district and Homeland Security, Defense, you 199 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: got to come through me. You want that. I need 200 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: your vote here, here, here, here, here, and here. Whether 201 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 1: you like it or not, I need your vote. I 202 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: wonder if that happens in Congress. I would say, yeah, 203 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 1: that's probably true. Rasp Musin survey revealed today, only twelve 204 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: percent of Democrats believe the Senate will house the president. 205 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 1: So we're wasting our time. Meanwhile, the president is going 206 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: about the business of what more great economic news. President 207 00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: is battling or ran even getting harassed on the issue 208 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: of the War Powers Act. I'll give you a history 209 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: of that coming up. And the country's doing fine. And 210 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 1: the only problem is they don't have a candidate that 211 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: I think that can beat Donald Trump. So they got 212 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: to go the impeachment route. And unfortunately that's unfortunately for us, 213 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: that's not working for them. American people understand this for 214 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 1: what it is. You know, the American people barely blink 215 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: an eye now at this. They know what it is. 216 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: It's been three years. If I hate Trump, that's what 217 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: I hate Trump. Nothing to help the American people make 218 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 1: us safe more secure, make us more prosperous, no economic opportunity, 219 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: and their ideas insane. Ninety four trillion new Green deal, 220 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: everything's free, no gas, no oil, and no combustion engine. Great, brilliant. 221 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: Then will have fifty two trillion Medicare for all ten years? Yeah, great, 222 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 1: no choice of private insurance. I don't think that's gonna work. 223 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: So finally it looks like this is gonna move in 224 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 1: the House. Democrats now insisting that Nancy Pelosi, you know, 225 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: do her job. You're impeaching the president and you're playing 226 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: games with it and is dithering on impeachment. Now you 227 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: got everybody giving up on it, and we know it's 228 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,439 Speaker 1: not going anywhere anyway. One of the questions I want 229 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:41,319 Speaker 1: to ask Mitch McConnell is about the process. Now. Constitutionally, 230 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: the House has the sole power to impeach, and it 231 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: is handed over to the Senate, and they are to 232 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,920 Speaker 1: hold the trial based on the rules that they adopt. 233 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: Senator McConnell will join us later said clearly, we'll adopt 234 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: the same rules we had for Clinton. House managers appointed 235 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: by Pelosi will then present their case. Have the Chief 236 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: Justice of the US Supreme Court, John Roberts will be presiding. Okay, Now, 237 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: if it's their constitutional role to impeach, and they present 238 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: their case to the Senate, well after they present their case, 239 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: we all know how weak it is because we watched 240 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: the shift show unfold, and of all the people we 241 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: heard from that made the cut after the audition behind 242 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: closed doors, smoke filled room hearings, those that made the 243 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 1: cut and went public, well, they were either hearsay witnesses 244 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: or opinion witnesses. Hearsay evidence. Under the federal rules, admissions 245 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: of evidence is not allowable, So I would assume wipe 246 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 1: all them out. That leaves us with one witness, fact 247 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 1: witness who also did his own two plus two week 248 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: willing whatever, that's irrelevant, that's inadmissible. Then the question is 249 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: Ambassador Sunlin, Well, his testimony he was exculpatory for President Trump. 250 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,080 Speaker 1: So the abuse a power part get rid of the 251 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: fact that the president has done what every other president 252 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: has done, invoke executive privilege, and the fact that the 253 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has agreed to rule on it, probably by 254 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 1: June of this year, would mean the obstruction article of 255 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: impeachment is rendered mute. Also because the executive branch, when 256 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: in conflict with the legislative branch, does have the right 257 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: to go to that third branch of government, the judiciary, 258 00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 1: to seek remedy. So sham it has been from the beginning. 259 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: No Republicans should even give this even a thought. It's done, 260 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: quick break right back, best election coverage. Two ninety nine 261 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 1: days to go, all right, twenty five nown till the 262 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,560 Speaker 1: top of the hour, eight hundred and nine four one seawn. 263 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program, 264 00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: you know I will say this. There is one little 265 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 1: addendum to what I've been reporting here, and that is 266 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: how the House Republicans have had it. They're fed up. 267 00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell is going to join us, he says, send 268 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: him by tomorrow. We're gonna start the trial next week. 269 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: So he won that battle, which is good. How GOP 270 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 1: is moving towards censure of Pelosi for abusing the impeachment process. 271 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,360 Speaker 1: Now the Democrats of all caving, so it's inevitable now 272 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: it gets sent over, whether she likes it or not. 273 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: But it's just the fact that this is. This is 274 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: how sick and ugly and twisted and political they want 275 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: to turn everything, and they have their willing accomplices and 276 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: the medium mob out there doing it with them. You 277 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 1: have the New York Times, you know reported, they have 278 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: the New York Times report this reporter literally saying in 279 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: Iran Solomoni Solomani's death is like Mlk's death in America, Like, 280 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, this is how bad this mob in 281 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: the media is. It's not hard. We've laid out the 282 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,400 Speaker 1: history of him killing Americans and the depravity and evil 283 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: in the carnage that this man has reeked, and you know, 284 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 1: everything from Hezbollah on and you know, can they not 285 00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: do that in the mob themselves? Is that too much 286 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: of a ask for them, a heavy lift for them. 287 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 1: They would have to have to pull them out of 288 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: their box, their minds, their heads and actually get them 289 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: to think and do some real work for once. Besides, oh, 290 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: how can we hate Trump with this story? How can 291 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: we spin it against Trump? We gotta do it some way, 292 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,320 Speaker 1: even if it means propping up a murdering a terrorist 293 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: like Solomani. I think they'd be happy. Solomonies that apparently not. 294 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,640 Speaker 1: NBC taking a lot of heat. They were promoting their 295 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: live coverage. They told you about Area fifty one. Roswell, 296 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: Rachel Maddow's conspiracy TV station, the propaganda state TV arm 297 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,440 Speaker 1: of the Democratic Party MSDN City. But anyway, their live 298 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: coverage of the Solomoni burial, and that was bad enough. 299 00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 1: On the night that Iran was firing those ballistic missiles, 300 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: they were reporting Iranian propaganda see it and actually had 301 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 1: the seventy nine hostage propagandas for Iran, can't get any 302 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: more propaganda like than that. But then they report, oh, 303 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,159 Speaker 1: thirty deaths reported source the Iranians. Oh, okay, there's a 304 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,679 Speaker 1: real reliable source. We'll double check that. We'll confirm our 305 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 1: facts here. How is it the the mediate They lie 306 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: for three years, They lie about Trump Russia, collusion, collusion, Russia, Rushi, 307 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: RuSHA Rusi. They lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie lie. 308 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 1: They ignore the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history. Now, 309 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: are we're proven right? The Inspector General Michael Horowitz. Everything 310 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: we've told you for nearly three years has proven true, 311 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: and it's about to get even validated. More will be more, 312 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: more vindication is coming. And it's not about being right. 313 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: It's that if I got it wrong, or any of 314 00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: my conservative friends get it wrong, Oh, you know, that 315 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: would be the death penalty for me ever talking again. Anyway. 316 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:56,159 Speaker 1: So on top of reporting erroneous Iranian propaganda and lies, 317 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: by the way, for most of the night, wasn't just 318 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,840 Speaker 1: once now they apparently they were promoting their live coverage 319 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 1: of Solomani's burial. Wow, okay, Solomony's funeral publicized. Thousands took 320 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 1: to the streets of Tehran. Fifty people died in the 321 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: streets of Tehran. How did that happen? I don't even 322 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: know where to begin. Then, NBC News, they won't even 323 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: take a Trump rally. Donald Trump here it is. People 324 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: want to see them. They won't even take a Trump rally. 325 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,679 Speaker 1: They can't take a Democrat rally because nobody shows up 326 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: at them. Anyway.

Tom Brokaw spent your whole life there you 340 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: proud of that. One has to wonder you have one 341 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 1: Democratic lawmaker. Yep, guess what We're back literally Washington Post 342 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: reporters saying that an unnamed Democrat in Congress suggested to 343 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 1: him that unlike the United States, rand doesn't have a 344 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:53,640 Speaker 1: crazy leader who would lead to war. That's the Washington Post. Now. 345 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,480 Speaker 1: I told you yesterday. I said, you know, well, fake 346 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:59,800 Speaker 1: news CNN. We didn't get the figure, but Nicholas Sandman 347 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: was paid a lot of money because lynn Wood, who 348 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 1: I know personally, I knew. I got to know lynn 349 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: Wood very well because I was in Atlanta doing my 350 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: radio show in Atlanta as a local host when the 351 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: bombing took place at Centennial Park, the Olympic bombing. We 352 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,679 Speaker 1: were the official news radio station of the Olympics, and 353 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: long story short one day I'm on the air when 354 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: when it breaks a JC, he fits the profile of 355 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: the lone bomber. Richard Jewel. No, Richard Jewel actually ended 356 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,440 Speaker 1: up saving people's lives. He was a hero, and lynn 357 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: Wood became his attorney. Their argument was he fit the 358 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 1: profile of a lone bomber because he lived with his parents. Okay, 359 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: he was a security guard. Probably didn't make a lot 360 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 1: of money. And you know, we see this more and 361 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: more with kids. They live at home, save money, rents expensive, 362 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 1: they're preparing to buy a house, perhaps down a line. 363 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: They do it for a whole bunch of reasons. That 364 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: doesn't make you a bomber. That doesn't profile you as 365 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,359 Speaker 1: a bomber, the lone bomber. Anyway, he ended up getting 366 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 1: Richard Jeweled. A lot of money didn't help him because 367 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: the stress of all of this. Lynn Wood has said 368 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: on his show, you know this guy died in his 369 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 1: forties because all the stress and what the mob and 370 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: the media did to him taught me a valuable lesson 371 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,760 Speaker 1: and it's paid off dividends big time. That's how come 372 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: we're right all the time and the mob is wrong. 373 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,080 Speaker 1: That's how come you know, when the issue of the 374 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 1: Duke la Cross case came up, and even had all 375 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: those professors at Duke University rushing to judgment and assume 376 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 1: and the big I guess letter or whatever they put 377 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 1: in a newspaper, student newspaper, school newspaper. They just all 378 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: rushing a judgment. They're they'll cross there. They're athletes, they're this, 379 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: they're that. Well, I didn't rush to judgment. I took 380 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,600 Speaker 1: the time and actually went to meet with some of 381 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:02,239 Speaker 1: the family members and parents and kids themselves. It's my 382 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 1: own investigative work. We did the same thing with Zimmerman 383 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,280 Speaker 1: and Treyvan. I didn't rush the judgment there. I was 384 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: told ver very early by multiple sources. And when the 385 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 1: Ferguson Missouri case happened, I had a lot of sources. 386 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: It made a lot of calls. It's called reporting, it's 387 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 1: called being I am a member of the press. Yeah, 388 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: we do investigative reporting as a talk show host, you know, 389 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,120 Speaker 1: like the deep state and vetting Obama that nobody else does. 390 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: And I had sources telling me very early on the 391 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:35,880 Speaker 1: mob in the media is dead on wrong, multiple a multitude. 392 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: If I recall the exact word of people witnessed what 393 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: had happened with Officer Darren Wilson and the case in Ferguson, Missouri, 394 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: and I was told that one eye witnessed after another 395 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 1: confirmed Officer Wilson's account, and that that would all eventually 396 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 1: be coming out. I was giving it on background, so 397 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,639 Speaker 1: I didn't go with it. In other words, not to 398 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 1: be no attribution, just background, be careful people that like 399 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: me enough to help me get it right for you, 400 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 1: my audience. That's what happened, And the same thing happened 401 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: in the Freddie Great case. I happen to have friends 402 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: in law enforcement that looking out for me, and I'm 403 00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 1: asking questions before I go on the air and say 404 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 1: something stupid. These people they pedal their lies, their conspiracy theories, 405 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 1: which is so hurtful to the country because it's you know, 406 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 1: they'll slander, their smear, they'll besmirch with abandoned. They don't care. 407 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: Then we saw Nicholas Sandman. Now that the truth is out, 408 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: I don't think any sixteen year old kid could have 409 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 1: ever handled it more perfectly. The situation now that we 410 00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: know the truth and Nicholas Sandman and he's there first 411 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: time in his life in Washington, DC, and he's got 412 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: to make America great hat on against there whoa trigger 413 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: for the left. And then immediately based on a fifteen 414 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: second clip, this whole narrative emerges about this sixteen year 415 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: old kid. All of it was false. He's not a 416 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,880 Speaker 1: public figure. You know, it's interesting, you know, you look 417 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: at like the Garker case with Charles Harder, who's a 418 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: great attorney. Lynn Wood a great attorney, and they're probably 419 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: the top two in the country on this particular issue. 420 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,919 Speaker 1: And that is as a public figure that it's you know, 421 00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,199 Speaker 1: you have to prove an absence of mouse. But Nicolas 422 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: Samman is it's not a public figure, got a whole 423 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: different standard. So whatever the settlement was, there was a 424 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty million dollar lawsuit against CNN fake news, 425 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 1: and they paid nondisclosure in terms of what the amount is. 426 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:51,760 Speaker 1: But I know lynn Wood and I know it wasn't cheap. 427 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,680 Speaker 1: If I had to venture a total guess I'm pulling. 428 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm actually acting now like the mob. But I'm telling you, 429 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: I'm guessing it has to be over one hundred million. 430 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: Linda shaking her head, right, it's lynn Wood wouldn't take 431 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 1: less because he's gonna win. Because they went on for 432 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 1: days and days, because nobody one time ever bothered to say, um, 433 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,159 Speaker 1: can we ask the kid what happened? Do we have 434 00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: any other I witnesses there? Besides? What was it? The 435 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: black Hebrew Israelites that were that were calling Nicholas Sandman 436 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: and his fellow schoolmates racist names, And then the tape emerged. Oh, 437 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: Nicholas Salmon tells his fellow students that calm down, don't react, 438 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: don't respond. Then, of course Nathan Phillips, he was protesting there. 439 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: He didn't walk up to Nathan Phillips, just the opposite 440 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: of what they were telling us. Nathan Phillips walked up 441 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 1: to him and got right in his face, banging or drum. 442 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: I think it's interesting that they're quicker to defend Hunter 443 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: Biden than Nicholas Sadman and Hunter Biden's forty nine years old. 444 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: It's absolutely ridiculous. You see your you're now you get 445 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: mad when I do quid pro quo, and Joe I 446 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: don't get mad. I get mad. They can say it, 447 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 1: let's play the audio. That's why, don't too long. I 448 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 1: can say it faster. QUI it doesn't have the same effect. 449 00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 1: You're not getting the billion unless you fired the process. 450 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 1: It's better when we play it, play it. We're not 451 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 1: going to give you the billion dollars. They said, you 452 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: have no authority. You're not the president, the president said, 453 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 1: I said, calling them, I said, I'm telling you're not 454 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: getting the billion dollars. I said, you're not getting a billion. 455 00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be leaving here. And I think it was 456 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: what six hours. I look, I said, leaving six hours. 457 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 1: If the prosecutors not fired, you're not getting the money. 458 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: Oh son of them got fired. Oh son of them. 459 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,240 Speaker 1: So they're the very thing they say they're upset about. 460 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,760 Speaker 1: Fired anyway, So I'm just guessing now they got the NBC. 461 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,280 Speaker 1: You know, you should be happy that you don't sound 462 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,400 Speaker 1: like a sleeves ball like Biden and I want people. 463 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,639 Speaker 1: You're not getting the billion unless you find the prosecutor 464 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: that they're paying millions to my zero experience on Hunter. 465 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,840 Speaker 1: You're welcome investigating, you know now democratic All of this 466 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 1: is so corrupt. When do they ever admit that they're wrong? 467 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,880 Speaker 1: When do they ever revised and extend their remarks? When 468 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,040 Speaker 1: do they ever say we're sorry, oh sorry, we got 469 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 1: it wrong. The whole Muller Trump Russia collusion thing wrong. Well, 470 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:32,400 Speaker 1: we missed the biggest corruption abuse of power story. Hannity 471 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,199 Speaker 1: was right the whole time. I'm I'm waiting because they 472 00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 1: got like stalkers on seeing you know what's the guy's 473 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 1: that humpty dumpty, humpty dumpty and some I guess his 474 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 1: assistant or something, some guy named Oliver that keeps coming 475 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: up to me whenever he sees me and says, hi, 476 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:51,560 Speaker 1: it's me. I'm like me, who it's Oliver? Oliver? Who 477 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: it's Oliver? Over seeing? And I go, oh, fake news. 478 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: I don't know know who this guy is. But they're 479 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 1: they're obsessive and impulsive. It's like they are stalkers at 480 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,640 Speaker 1: this point. Rather than try and get their own ratings, 481 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:09,240 Speaker 1: something just bashed me and bash Fox constantly. Twenty four seven, 482 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity called into his own show, let's tweet it 483 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: out last Thursday night. Okay, yeah, because I had information 484 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:20,120 Speaker 1: nobody else reported. They certainly weren't reporting what it actually happened. 485 00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 1: So I do their job, and it's just they don't care. 486 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: This is a problem for the country. You know now 487 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 1: that now they're saying this about I mean, you would 488 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: think Solo Monty's death is like mlk's death in America. 489 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna promote live coverage of the burial of Solomnty. 490 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 1: The Democratic lawmakers saying that a RAND doesn't have crazy 491 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,440 Speaker 1: leaders unlike the US. I'm not making any of this up. 492 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 1: Avoid being a RANS lawyer. Democrats, Democratic insiders are literally begging, 493 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 1: they're twenty twenty contenders. Don't don't don't don't beat like 494 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: a RAN's lawyer. I mean, you have to tell them 495 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: that these are incredible times we live in. They really 496 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:10,200 Speaker 1: are and corrupt times. And I didn't get to the 497 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: War Powers. We'll get to that in the course of 498 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: the program. Mitch McConnell joins us at the top of 499 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,680 Speaker 1: the next hour, right after the news right eight hundred 500 00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 1: nine for one Sean Tolfrey telephone number. You want to 501 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: be a part of the program. The short answer on 502 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 1: the issue of the War Powers Act is it's unconstitutional. 503 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,800 Speaker 1: The nineteen seventy three War Powers Resolution was and is unconstitutional. 504 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: Reflecting John Bolton had a great line about this in 505 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 1: an interview that he gave with it. I guess with 506 00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 1: a hill the fundamental misunderstanding of how the Constitution allocated 507 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,840 Speaker 1: foreign affairs authority between the President and Congress. The resolution 508 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: should be appealed. He's right, And then he wrote about 509 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: this in his memoir that that act was an example 510 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,880 Speaker 1: of Congress overreacting during the Watergate error. That's the whole 511 00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 1: history of it. I bore you if I did the 512 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: whole history. I have it here in front of me. 513 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 1: We'll talk more about this. We'll talk about the impeachment issue. 514 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 1: Mitch McConnell joins us next rare interview and also the 515 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,880 Speaker 1: latest news of the day. Two nine days best election 516 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 1: coverage on your radio and TV dial. But I would 517 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,360 Speaker 1: like to hear Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, Adam Shifty Shift, 518 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: and some others. The informer that never showed up. You know, 519 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: once I released the transcript, you know what happened the informer, 520 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 1: he never showed up. And the second whistle blow, John, 521 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: whatever happened to the second whistle blower? The second whistle 522 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 1: blow disappeared. They probably was none or maybe we know 523 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: who the second whistle blower was. Maybe we do, but 524 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:40,880 Speaker 1: he never showed up. All of a sudden, They don't 525 00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: talk because they were really unexpectedly met with the actual conversation, 526 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: the exact conversation. So yeah, if we do that, I 527 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,200 Speaker 1: would like to have those people plus others testify, because 528 00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:56,840 Speaker 1: it's the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the United States government. 529 00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 1: This has gone on since the day I came down 530 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: the que This isn't just here, This isn't just the 531 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: Ukraine hooks. This is the witch hunt. This is the 532 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 1: whole thing with Russia that turned out to be a 533 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: total fabricated plot. The ones who were guilty, of the Democrats, 534 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: the DNC, and all of the dirty cups that were 535 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,520 Speaker 1: involved that we caught Centers Lee and Paul railed on 536 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: this briefing just now. Yeah, they've ever had. I think 537 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: there was a lot of concern about a game plan, 538 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: you know what we do next, But you know they're 539 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:37,240 Speaker 1: libertarians of the Department of Finis. I think maybe a 540 00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,440 Speaker 1: compelling case. They have all the legal the where they 541 00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:42,680 Speaker 1: need to hit Sulamani, who was an any but belligerent 542 00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,480 Speaker 1: by any definition of the law, that if we hadn't 543 00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:49,800 Speaker 1: done something and Americans have been killed, all these people 544 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: would be ul be tart and feathers. So they thought 545 00:32:56,640 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: that a warpowers. Debate might send the wrong s order 546 00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 1: the Rainians. I think they're right. They didn't say you 547 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:08,120 Speaker 1: can't debate. I think they're overreacting quite frankly, Go debate 548 00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,160 Speaker 1: all you want to. I'm going to debate, you, trust me, 549 00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna let people know that at this 550 00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,840 Speaker 1: moment in time, to play this game with a port 551 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: warpowers at which I think is unconstitutional, is that, whether 552 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:23,320 Speaker 1: you mean to or not, you're empowering the enemy. I 553 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: know you don't mean to, but we live in the 554 00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: real world here, So debate all you want. This is 555 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,360 Speaker 1: a constitutional democracy. But get ready for a lively debate. 556 00:33:32,040 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: All right. An hour two Sean Hannity showed toll free 557 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 1: our numbers eight hundred and ninety four one Sean, if 558 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program, no 559 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: shortage of news as it relates to the United States Senate, 560 00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:45,719 Speaker 1: and we're honored up back on the program. It's been 561 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:49,760 Speaker 1: a while. Senator Mitch McConnell i spent part of the 562 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 1: holiday reading his New York Time best selling book. It's 563 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:57,280 Speaker 1: called The Long Game in the Federal Judiciary. It's now 564 00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 1: out in paperback, and the President has written the forward 565 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 1: for this three pages long, and the President's exactly right. 566 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell is with us. First, let me say 567 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: the work that I know on the amount of judges 568 00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: and appointments the President has made and you have navigated 569 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,680 Speaker 1: through the Senate, which can be you know, kind of 570 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:23,760 Speaker 1: troubled waters at times, has been amazing. It's transformative actually 571 00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,399 Speaker 1: for the courts. Well, thank you, Sean. I think it's 572 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:30,200 Speaker 1: the single most long lasting thing the President, with our assistance, 573 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,520 Speaker 1: has been able to accomplish that will bank the longest 574 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:36,720 Speaker 1: impact on the country. Fifty new US Circuit Court judges, 575 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,400 Speaker 1: which is about a fourth of all of them in 576 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:44,239 Speaker 1: the country. Already, we've done more working together in three 577 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: years than Barack Obama almost well, slightly fewer than Obama 578 00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,640 Speaker 1: did an eight year or so. We'll surpass in four 579 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:54,560 Speaker 1: years what he did at eight and I think it'll 580 00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: be a lasting contribution of significance from the Trump years. 581 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 1: You don't I'd like the line the President used in 582 00:35:01,719 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 1: the forward to your book. He said, transforming the federal 583 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 1: judiciary is the ultimate long game. And he's even expressed 584 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: surprised at how many vacancies Obama left for him that 585 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,680 Speaker 1: you that he has now been filling left and right. Well, 586 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: of course, I was in charge of the agenda the 587 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,839 Speaker 1: last two years of the Obama administration. I think it's 588 00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 1: probably not incorrect to say that we were not rapidly 589 00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 1: filling the vacancies with Obama appointments the last two years. 590 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,280 Speaker 1: Let me read a headline report, McConnell's win keeping GOP 591 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: Senators United amid impeachment more months in the making. And 592 00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:44,520 Speaker 1: I know Nancy Pelosi, for whatever reason, is now being 593 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: called out even by our Democratic Senate colleagues. Diane Feinstein 594 00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:51,920 Speaker 1: among them, literally said these words, if it's serious and urgent, 595 00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,680 Speaker 1: as they had claimed why they had the Russian impeachment 596 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 1: in the House, send them over. If it isn't, don't 597 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: send them over. And she's been joined by Chris Murphy, 598 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:04,279 Speaker 1: Joe mansioning Is King, Doug Jones, Bloomin Paull and Connecticut, 599 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,359 Speaker 1: and John Tester and Chris Coons, all saying it's time 600 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:11,040 Speaker 1: we get on with it. You have said that you 601 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:14,719 Speaker 1: would adopt the same rules that the Senate passed unanimously 602 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,040 Speaker 1: for President Bill Clinton's impeachment in nineteen ninety nine. Tell 603 00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 1: us where you think this stands now, well, I think 604 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: that's what we'll do when we finally get the papers. 605 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: And I think you correctly pointed out that the resistance 606 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:34,440 Speaker 1: is cracking among Senate Democrats who understand it. It's now 607 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,799 Speaker 1: time for us to take this up. And it was 608 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 1: never envision that the House of Representatives would impeach somebody 609 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: and then just sit on it and not transmit the papers. 610 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: So I believe Pelosi is going to go on and 611 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:50,439 Speaker 1: do that. I think she's under enormous pressure now from 612 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,839 Speaker 1: Senate Democrats to send the papers on over and we'll 613 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,080 Speaker 1: get started, and I think we all know how it's 614 00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,640 Speaker 1: going to end. The President is not going to be 615 00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 1: removed from office. If we do end up calling witnesses, 616 00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,200 Speaker 1: which could well happen, I assure you it won't just 617 00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: be the witnesses that a Democrats want to call. It'll 618 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,600 Speaker 1: be one that they'd rather not hear from. And you 619 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,719 Speaker 1: can just imagine, Well, I would name Adam Schiff, I'd 620 00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,840 Speaker 1: name the whistle blower, non whistleblower, hearsay whistle blower. I 621 00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: think we could probably add Joe and Hunter to the list. 622 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the list would be pretty obvious. Wouldn't it. Yeah, 623 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,239 Speaker 1: I think that's that's that's exactly right. If we go 624 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: down the witness path, everybody should understand it won't just 625 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: be the witnesses the Democrats want to hear from. Are 626 00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 1: you as surprised as many in the country that she's 627 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,880 Speaker 1: basically trying to dictate the United States Senate how you 628 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:45,920 Speaker 1: ought to do your business, because you know, look, the 629 00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:49,839 Speaker 1: Constitution is pretty clear as it relates to the impeachment 630 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,000 Speaker 1: clause Article one, Section two, clause five. If anybody is 631 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:57,359 Speaker 1: following along at home in the House of Representatives, they 632 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 1: have the sole power of impeachment. And as for the 633 00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:06,200 Speaker 1: Senates role, you are to conduct the trial, it's not 634 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:11,200 Speaker 1: that difficult. Yeah. Well, I mean what I thought was laughable, Sean, 635 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,360 Speaker 1: was that she thought she had some kind of leverage 636 00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:17,359 Speaker 1: here withholding something frankly that a lot of us are 637 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: not actually to do anyway. I mean, you brought a 638 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 1: smile to mouth face to try to figure out what 639 00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:28,640 Speaker 1: leverage she thought she had. And look, she doesn't have 640 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,359 Speaker 1: any leverage, and she'll come up with some excuse to 641 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,200 Speaker 1: send the paper Z one over in the next couple 642 00:38:35,239 --> 00:38:40,719 Speaker 1: of days. That's my prediction. Yeah, It's funny that they 643 00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 1: rushed all this through. There's two articles here, you know, 644 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,760 Speaker 1: and neither one of them made any sense abuse of power? 645 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,040 Speaker 1: What does that mean we watched for example, maybe you 646 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,160 Speaker 1: can help clarify some of this for our audience. But 647 00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:58,840 Speaker 1: their role, as I just said, is they go forward 648 00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:03,880 Speaker 1: with the impeachment abuse of power obstruction because the president, 649 00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:07,120 Speaker 1: the executive branch dared to seek remedy from the judicial 650 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:09,840 Speaker 1: branch when there was a conflict with the legislative branch, 651 00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:11,799 Speaker 1: which is by the way, in the Supreme Court has 652 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,880 Speaker 1: agreed to take it up. So they would just have 653 00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 1: to wait for obviously, for that decision. The case that 654 00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: the Democrats made house managers will be chosen. They will 655 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,359 Speaker 1: be given. If we're going to follow the ninety nine 656 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 1: model of the Clinton impeachment, they will present their case. 657 00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: There was only one fact witness that I identified, Ambassador Sonlon, 658 00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:32,840 Speaker 1: and his testimony was exculpatory for the president. All the 659 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,640 Speaker 1: other witnesses and the Schiff and Nadler committees were either 660 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,640 Speaker 1: opinion witnesses or hearsay witnesses. Now, I would imagine the 661 00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,640 Speaker 1: federal rules of evidence would apply with the Chief Justice 662 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:47,560 Speaker 1: presiding am I wrong on that. Really, I don't know. 663 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,640 Speaker 1: You know, this is not like a real trial. This 664 00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,720 Speaker 1: is a political process. If you had a real trial, 665 00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,640 Speaker 1: none of us would be qualified to sit in the 666 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: jury because we all have opinions. So it is a 667 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: hybrid created just for this situation that is really not 668 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:10,560 Speaker 1: like a real trial. It looks that way because you 669 00:40:10,600 --> 00:40:12,799 Speaker 1: have the Chief Justice in the chair, but you can 670 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:14,800 Speaker 1: see why the founders put the Chief Justice in the 671 00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: chair because the vice president could potentially be the beneficiary 672 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: of a presidential ouster, so you wouldn't want to have 673 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:28,040 Speaker 1: Hamper's outing. So it's an odd proceeding, not replicated anywhere else. 674 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,520 Speaker 1: By the way, Chuck Schumer said exactly what you just 675 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,440 Speaker 1: said back in nineteen ninety nine, that he was not 676 00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,880 Speaker 1: an objective player in this, that he had opinions in this. 677 00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: Let me play it for you. This is not a 678 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,960 Speaker 1: criminal trial, but this is something that the founding fathers 679 00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,680 Speaker 1: decided to put in a body that was susceptible to 680 00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:46,759 Speaker 1: the whims of politics. And also, it's not like a 681 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,080 Speaker 1: jury box in the sense that people will call us 682 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:53,480 Speaker 1: and lobby uts. You don't have juror's call what lobbied 683 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,160 Speaker 1: and things like that. I mean, it's it's quite different 684 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: than a jury. Today we are upping the ante. The 685 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:03,440 Speaker 1: president could be removed from office over a matter that 686 00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,520 Speaker 1: most Americans field doesn't come close to the level of 687 00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: high crimes and misdemeanors is written in our Constitution. I 688 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 1: expect history will show that we've lowered the bar on 689 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,480 Speaker 1: impeachment so much, we have broken the seal on this 690 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:22,760 Speaker 1: extremely stream penalty so cavalierly that it will be used 691 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: as a routine tool to fight political battles. My fear 692 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 1: is that when a Republican wins the White House, Democrats 693 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:35,600 Speaker 1: will demand payback. Wow, looks like they're looking for their payback. Senator, 694 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:39,880 Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on his comments from Yeah, that 695 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,400 Speaker 1: was Schumer back in ninety eight ninety nine, you know, 696 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,799 Speaker 1: talk about being disqualified. He was actually running for the 697 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,239 Speaker 1: Senate promising to vote to quit the president. So you know, 698 00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: they gave me a bunch of grief by saying I 699 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,920 Speaker 1: wasn't impartial on this. Honestly, I don't think there's anybody 700 00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 1: in the Senate who's impartial about it. Almost everyone has 701 00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:04,239 Speaker 1: made their minds. They've already announced it in many instances, 702 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,560 Speaker 1: and so we shouldn't pretend this is something that it isn't. 703 00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 1: Impeachment is a political matter, not a judicial matter. The 704 00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:17,239 Speaker 1: House made a political decision, and not a single Republican 705 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:23,600 Speaker 1: supported impeachment. The Senate will make a largely partisan decision 706 00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: in the end. I suspect as well. So let's don't 707 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:32,319 Speaker 1: get confused here. There's nothing wrong with people saying, oh, 708 00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,000 Speaker 1: they feel about it. I certainly intend to and will 709 00:42:35,080 --> 00:42:38,960 Speaker 1: continue to do so. If the sole power to impeach, 710 00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:41,719 Speaker 1: that power rests in the House of Representatives, and the 711 00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:44,240 Speaker 1: trials to take place in the Senate, and the House 712 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 1: managers present their case to the US Senate and again 713 00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:52,080 Speaker 1: the Chief Justice presiding, then my question is they present 714 00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:57,440 Speaker 1: their case. They had their witnesses, their basis for their impeachment. 715 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:02,319 Speaker 1: If you brought in other new witnesses that they'd either 716 00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:06,880 Speaker 1: didn't call or viewed as being protected under executive privilege, 717 00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: which will will be resolved by the judiciary the US 718 00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: Supreme Court, probably some time by June, then the question 719 00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,239 Speaker 1: is why would the Senate do the House's job and 720 00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,840 Speaker 1: then go deeper if they can't present the case themselves, 721 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:24,960 Speaker 1: Considering that's their constitutional role, It's a very good point. Basically, 722 00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,719 Speaker 1: what Schumer's trying to do is to pursue witnesses. The 723 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:32,000 Speaker 1: House never seriously pursued. They didn't go to court to 724 00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:36,600 Speaker 1: try to compel anyone to come. They were in such 725 00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 1: a hurry to get this done before Christmas. They did 726 00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 1: a slaps you know, kind of halfway job, hundered it 727 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: over to us. At least they will do that soon 728 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: and expect us to not make a decision based on 729 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,919 Speaker 1: the record that they built, but to build a whole 730 00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,080 Speaker 1: new record, and we'll be debating all of that at 731 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,759 Speaker 1: some point during the impeachment trial. What I'm hoping is 732 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,240 Speaker 1: that we can at least get forward, to go forward 733 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,360 Speaker 1: before we get into all the witness stuff. Go forward, 734 00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 1: Listen to the House managers, listen to the president's lawyers, 735 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: have a period of questioning of both sides before we 736 00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:22,799 Speaker 1: get into the issue of witnesses. And if we go 737 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:27,359 Speaker 1: down to witness path, sure all of the people who 738 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 1: support the president, it will it won't just be a 739 00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,880 Speaker 1: list of witnesses that we think will be hostile to 740 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:40,520 Speaker 1: the president. It'll it'll be both. In my opinion, that 741 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:44,800 Speaker 1: would be lending incredibility to what it's been an entirely corrupt, unjust, 742 00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,960 Speaker 1: unfair process. Everything that knew Gingrich afforded Bill Clinton in 743 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 1: ninety eight and his attorneys in ninety eight, none of 744 00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:54,359 Speaker 1: that was afforded President Trump. Let me ask you and 745 00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:59,239 Speaker 1: get your thoughts on the killing of Solomoni. And I 746 00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,759 Speaker 1: know that they're are some now talking about the War 747 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,520 Speaker 1: Powers Act and resolutions, etc. And Mike Lee was apparently 748 00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,320 Speaker 1: offended yesterday, but more importantly, even General Petraeus his comments 749 00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,719 Speaker 1: are very interesting to me if somebody I admire a 750 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:16,920 Speaker 1: lot and take his opinion seriously. He thought this was 751 00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:20,239 Speaker 1: bigger than been lauding him El Baghdaddy. And I wanted 752 00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,680 Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on the killing of Solomoni number 753 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:26,440 Speaker 1: one and why this was important. Well, it's extremely important. 754 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:32,400 Speaker 1: This is probably the you know, the most heinous killer 755 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:36,959 Speaker 1: walk in the face of the earth at the moment, who, 756 00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,239 Speaker 1: as we all know, we've been following this guy for 757 00:45:40,280 --> 00:45:46,760 Speaker 1: a long time, been in charge of providing I eeds 758 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:53,000 Speaker 1: that have killed and maimed US servicemen estimated directly responsible 759 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:56,840 Speaker 1: for four to six hundred US service people losing their lives. 760 00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 1: This is this is a real bad guy. The President 761 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 1: did the right thing. He didn't need to give us 762 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 1: advanced notice. Let me tell you how Sean I handled 763 00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:13,879 Speaker 1: when President Obama's stame killed Osama bin Laden number one. 764 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,520 Speaker 1: I was part of the Gang of eight, en supposed 765 00:46:16,520 --> 00:46:18,719 Speaker 1: to be in a prior position for notice. I was 766 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 1: not notified in advance. I was notified afterwards. What was 767 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: my reaction. I said, congratulations, great job, and issued a 768 00:46:28,960 --> 00:46:32,040 Speaker 1: public statement supporting it. All right, Senator Mitch McConnell, stay 769 00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,560 Speaker 1: right there, We will continue to keep you on the line. 770 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,600 Speaker 1: New forward in his release of his best seller about 771 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: transforming the judiciary called Long Game. We'll put it up 772 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com. Quick break, right back, We'll continue 773 00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:46,600 Speaker 1: all right, twenty five to the top of the hour, 774 00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:50,200 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority leaders, staying with us. 775 00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:53,760 Speaker 1: All the news, obviously all focuses on the US Senate. 776 00:46:54,360 --> 00:46:57,399 Speaker 1: We put up on Hannity dot Com. He has now 777 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:00,400 Speaker 1: out as best seller Long Game in paperback. The President 778 00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:03,960 Speaker 1: has now written a forward for the paperback and rightly saying, 779 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: transforming the federal Judiciary is the ultimate long Game. As 780 00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,520 Speaker 1: we continue it, Senator Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority leader, 781 00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,759 Speaker 1: and on the issue, I think the President was dead 782 00:47:12,800 --> 00:47:15,319 Speaker 1: on in his comments and the forward. He makes the 783 00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: point that transforming the federal judiciary is the ultimate and 784 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,719 Speaker 1: long game, and it is because this now impacts the 785 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 1: country now for generations. I want on the issue of 786 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,880 Speaker 1: killing Solomoni, I thought the President, and I want to 787 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:33,320 Speaker 1: get your thoughts showed. And I know the media and 788 00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:36,560 Speaker 1: I know Democrats have created their own little cartoon caricature 789 00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:39,279 Speaker 1: the president that I know not to be true, and 790 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:44,480 Speaker 1: I know a fact it's not true, but that he's impetuous, 791 00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,640 Speaker 1: that he doesn't show restraint. But we had two US 792 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,400 Speaker 1: drones shot down by the Iranians. He didn't act. The president. 793 00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: We watched as tankers were being taken hostage in the 794 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,960 Speaker 1: narrow Straits of Hormuz, where a third of the world's 795 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: oil supply paths through daily. He acted. He didn't act. 796 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:08,120 Speaker 1: Then we also saw the attack on the Saladi oil fields, unprovoked, 797 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,160 Speaker 1: and that was done to impact the lifeblood of the 798 00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:14,680 Speaker 1: world's economy, which is oil. The President didn't act there. 799 00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:18,800 Speaker 1: The President dreill line in the sand. Contractors were killed 800 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,359 Speaker 1: at the end of December, military personnel were hurt. It 801 00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:26,239 Speaker 1: was all led by the Iranian funded group Hezbollah. Then 802 00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 1: they went into our embassy and the president acted expeditiously 803 00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,520 Speaker 1: so we wouldn't have another Benghazi. And then when he 804 00:48:33,560 --> 00:48:35,680 Speaker 1: had the shot at the guy that was orchestrating all 805 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,280 Speaker 1: the murdering of our troops in Iraq and all this terror, 806 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: he took the shot. I can't believe that's been politicized. 807 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:44,839 Speaker 1: But let's talk about the president that you work with 808 00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:48,759 Speaker 1: every day. Were you surprised at the amount of patients 809 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 1: that he showed the Iranians because I, frankly was, Yeah, 810 00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: he was more patient, yeah, frankly than I might have 811 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,640 Speaker 1: been in his position. Look, he did the right thing. 812 00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:03,200 Speaker 1: It should have been applauded on a back partisan basis. 813 00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: Joel Lieberman the other day in the Wall Street Journal 814 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:10,960 Speaker 1: made that point that, you know what, was this viewed decisively? 815 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,400 Speaker 1: I think it's because of the Trump arrangement syndrome that 816 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,040 Speaker 1: almost all the Democrats are suffering from these days that 817 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: don't even allow them to compliment the president when he 818 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:25,279 Speaker 1: does the right thing. If the Democratic president had done this, 819 00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,319 Speaker 1: believe me, they'd all been applauding. And the difference is 820 00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: US Republicans would have applauded as well. You mentioned Joe Lieberman. 821 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,959 Speaker 1: I've been friends with Senator Lieberman for a long time. 822 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:40,360 Speaker 1: I've had my disagreements. He was once the vice presidential 823 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:44,279 Speaker 1: candidate for the Democratic Party. The Joel Lieberman that I know, 824 00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 1: and then I knew. I don't see any of that 825 00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 1: in this modern, new radical Democratic Party that would spend 826 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:56,799 Speaker 1: in ten years ninety four trillion dollars on a new 827 00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:59,920 Speaker 1: Green deal, no more oil or gas or combustion engine 828 00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 1: and everything's free, and another fifty two trillion dollars in 829 00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,960 Speaker 1: ten years on Medicare for all and no choice of 830 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: private insurance. What do you see being on the inside. 831 00:50:12,440 --> 00:50:15,040 Speaker 1: What has happened to the Democratic Party that had at 832 00:50:15,080 --> 00:50:19,000 Speaker 1: least some reasonable figures in it. I think they've gone hard. 833 00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:23,279 Speaker 1: Let up, Sean, And you know what they'll do if 834 00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 1: the next time they get the whole government. If they do, 835 00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: they'll make the District of Columbia a state that'll provide 836 00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:35,560 Speaker 1: two a sort of permanent Democratic senators. They'll alter the 837 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:39,960 Speaker 1: makeup of the federal courts to try to diminish the 838 00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:46,520 Speaker 1: success the president's had, and reforming the courts with strict constructionists. 839 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:51,080 Speaker 1: They'll pass Medicare for All, which is basically socialized medicine. 840 00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,719 Speaker 1: They'll do that all if the next time they get 841 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,160 Speaker 1: control of the government. That's why the president's re election 842 00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: is absolutely essential, as well as holding the s so 843 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: that we can still confirm the president's outstanding nominees to 844 00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 1: the courts. With that said, I think you would probably 845 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:14,840 Speaker 1: agree that the need for closure supermajority would probably go 846 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: away if the Democrats ever took control of the Senate 847 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,920 Speaker 1: Chamber again. And I know the President might have a 848 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: slight disagreement with you on that issue. I know you 849 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,120 Speaker 1: take a different position as it relates to judges, but 850 00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,479 Speaker 1: you want to hold onto that tradition. Why well, Look, 851 00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 1: the supermajority on legislation is the essence of the Senate 852 00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:40,560 Speaker 1: and the president. Now I think more fully understands what 853 00:51:40,719 --> 00:51:44,359 Speaker 1: could happen when the other side gets control, and so 854 00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,960 Speaker 1: I think the executive calendar, that is, the approval of 855 00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:51,640 Speaker 1: personnel or twelve hundred executive branch appointments that come to 856 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:55,799 Speaker 1: us in the course of a presidency all should be 857 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,080 Speaker 1: handled with a simple majority. I don't think that's true 858 00:51:58,080 --> 00:52:02,319 Speaker 1: with legislation, and if humor didn't respect that age ol 859 00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 1: rule of the Senate. They could run roughshod over conservatism 860 00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,840 Speaker 1: for as long as they were in power with the 861 00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,520 Speaker 1: majority in the House. The Senate an oid house, pretty 862 00:52:13,560 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: dire prediction. You seem to have a very good that 863 00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. You seem to have a very good working 864 00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 1: relationship with the president, I would argue. And I've known 865 00:52:22,760 --> 00:52:25,640 Speaker 1: him probably as long as anybody in media, twenty five 866 00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:29,799 Speaker 1: years at least. And I told my conservative friends, and 867 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,760 Speaker 1: many of them didn't believe me that he would govern 868 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,440 Speaker 1: as a conservative. And I believe I've been proven right 869 00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:38,200 Speaker 1: on just about every issue. Like usual, Senator, I put 870 00:52:38,239 --> 00:52:40,520 Speaker 1: my neck on the line on my opinions, but I 871 00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 1: usually end up being correct, thank god. But here's my question. 872 00:52:44,239 --> 00:52:48,000 Speaker 1: He's an outsider, he's a disruptor, he's an iconoclast. He 873 00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,920 Speaker 1: will never be that establishment figure. Now. It's my belief 874 00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,640 Speaker 1: that the American people have adjusted to the new style 875 00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 1: because he's getting a lot of good things done. How 876 00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,280 Speaker 1: is your relationship with him personally, because you work closely 877 00:53:01,280 --> 00:53:04,800 Speaker 1: with him, What have you discovered about the Donald Trump 878 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,239 Speaker 1: that maybe the public doesn't know. Well, he's got, you know, 879 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,920 Speaker 1: a really good mind, good political instincts, and he's done 880 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,840 Speaker 1: a good job. I mean we've we've been in the 881 00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:18,640 Speaker 1: trenches together on judges, on tax reform, on regulatory reform. 882 00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: I support what he's doing on foreign policy and to 883 00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:26,720 Speaker 1: build up in the Defense department. He's had an excellent record. 884 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:29,759 Speaker 1: Look at the economy, I mean, the best economy in 885 00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:35,239 Speaker 1: fifty years. The president clearly deserves reelection if he's a 886 00:53:35,239 --> 00:53:38,279 Speaker 1: little different from the people who've occupied the office in 887 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,520 Speaker 1: the past. So what I think what we're interested in 888 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:44,080 Speaker 1: as results, and the president I think has a lot 889 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:47,400 Speaker 1: of results to point to in the twenty twenty election. 890 00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 1: Last question Center, I've watched a couple of videos now. 891 00:53:51,160 --> 00:53:54,320 Speaker 1: One was in and I happened to be fond of 892 00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,279 Speaker 1: your wife. I know her, I've met her, I've interviewed her, 893 00:53:57,800 --> 00:53:59,640 Speaker 1: and I watched one particular point. You're just had a 894 00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:03,920 Speaker 1: diner in Kentucky, and you know, just hanging out with 895 00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 1: the people of Kentucky and eating breakfast or lunch or 896 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,840 Speaker 1: whatever it was. And you have these people now that 897 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,000 Speaker 1: have been stalking and attacking you and your family, relatively 898 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:19,080 Speaker 1: new but seemingly more dangerous than ever before. How do 899 00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,160 Speaker 1: you see how has that impacted your life. Well, it's 900 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:28,480 Speaker 1: a shame. I mean, read Justice Gorsuch's book and he 901 00:54:28,600 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 1: sat he said he thought the biggest problem I had 902 00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,080 Speaker 1: in the country was the lack of civility in a 903 00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:40,960 Speaker 1: civil society. You know, you have a regular debate with 904 00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 1: people you disagree with. What many of us have been 905 00:54:44,880 --> 00:54:48,319 Speaker 1: subjected to. Are these outrageous people who come in and 906 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:54,319 Speaker 1: want to scream at you and have embarrassing incidences. You know, 907 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: maybe it makes them feel better, but it seems like 908 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 1: we've sort of lost our ability to to discuss issues 909 00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:06,600 Speaker 1: in a confident way and to conduct our own affairs 910 00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,799 Speaker 1: with civility. So I agree with Justice Corsage. I think 911 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 1: that's a problem in today's America, and I hope this 912 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,120 Speaker 1: is a phase that we will all get past. Sometimes. 913 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:24,240 Speaker 1: Senator Mitch McConnell's with us and his now best selling 914 00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:27,360 Speaker 1: book out in paperback, Long Game in the Federal Judiciary, 915 00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,520 Speaker 1: with a forward now written by the President by President Trump, 916 00:55:30,880 --> 00:55:34,799 Speaker 1: I particularly like your afterward when you went in a 917 00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:38,840 Speaker 1: great specificity, in detail and more specifically about the importance 918 00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,680 Speaker 1: of the courts and some other issues that you address. 919 00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:45,880 Speaker 1: It's for me, it's informative because It brings people inside 920 00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:49,360 Speaker 1: the process of what I think Donald Trump labeled correctly, 921 00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:52,239 Speaker 1: Transforming the federal judiciary is the ultimate long game. And 922 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,440 Speaker 1: on that single one issue, Senator, you have had a 923 00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: profound effect on the future of the country. I know 924 00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,640 Speaker 1: you don't do a lot of interviews. We do appreciate 925 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,719 Speaker 1: the extra time you've given us. Thanks for being with us, 926 00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,200 Speaker 1: and we're gonna watch very closely, obviously in the next 927 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,960 Speaker 1: couple of weeks. What's gonna happen in the Senate. Thanks again, Sean. 928 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 1: We'll be okay, it's all gonna work out, all right. 929 00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,720 Speaker 1: In the end, the president is gonna get reelected. Okay, 930 00:56:12,760 --> 00:56:15,680 Speaker 1: I'll take that outcome two ninety nine days, senator. But 931 00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,839 Speaker 1: who's counting? Not me, I'm not counting. Yeah, right, all right, 932 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,080 Speaker 1: thank god. You know what the good news is, we 933 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,280 Speaker 1: the people get the final say, the people get to decide, 934 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,520 Speaker 1: and my guess is they shocked the world again, um, senator, 935 00:56:27,560 --> 00:56:29,640 Speaker 1: thank you, all right, eight hundred ninety four one, Sean, 936 00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:31,920 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program, 937 00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 1: let's go to our busy phones.

I do miss my grandpa, my grandfather. I 955 00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:27,480 Speaker 1: used to drive him crazy. My grandfather had a tattoo 956 00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:29,320 Speaker 1: for when he served in the Navy, and I go, Grandpa, 957 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm young, just I was always a wise guy, Grandpa. 958 00:57:32,640 --> 00:57:35,240 Speaker 1: I love that tattoo. Yeah, he came from Ireland. You're 959 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: a damn fool you are. You're a damn fool. If 960 00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,200 Speaker 1: you do that, I'm gonna get one just like you, 961 00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,600 Speaker 1: and I drive him nuts. Try that drove him over 962 00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:45,440 Speaker 1: the That sent him over the edge every time, I believe. Yeah, 963 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: he was not a fan of my tattoos. So there 964 00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: you go. Well I never got it, so I'm too chicken. Anyway, 965 00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:52,800 Speaker 1: What else you got today? What's going on in the 966 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:55,040 Speaker 1: Buckhoue state? So what I want to call him out? Yeah, 967 00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,280 Speaker 1: I've noticed when you when you swipe out on your phone, 968 00:57:57,320 --> 00:57:59,120 Speaker 1: you get on the news, they always kind of make 969 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:00,840 Speaker 1: it seem like this guy I was a good guy. 970 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,080 Speaker 1: This guy we killed in Iran saw money and I 971 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,560 Speaker 1: spent two years as an EUOTE team leader. I'm sorry, 972 00:58:05,600 --> 00:58:09,040 Speaker 1: ten years an EUOTE team leader oversees disarmon roadside bombs, 973 00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:13,400 Speaker 1: and we experienced firsthand exactly what guys like him, in 974 00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:17,080 Speaker 1: the Iranian influence that they had on iades in Iraq 975 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:20,880 Speaker 1: and Afghanistan, in the sophistication that grew over the years. 976 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:23,560 Speaker 1: I just don't think that people will really appreciate. You 977 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:25,400 Speaker 1: know you're hearing the news. Yes I was responsible for 978 00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,880 Speaker 1: killing Americans, but I think you are really realized how 979 00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:32,840 Speaker 1: he did it and what we've dealt with on the ground, 980 00:58:32,880 --> 00:58:37,160 Speaker 1: and how and how efficient those devices became over the years. 981 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:40,400 Speaker 1: And for me personally, I'm retired now. It's it's really 982 00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,919 Speaker 1: good to know he's not there anymore. Look, it's now 983 00:58:43,920 --> 00:58:46,960 Speaker 1: in our hands now. Think about this. We all stand 984 00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: on the shoulders of our parents and our grandparents, right 985 00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: and definitely I remember the case of my parents and grandparents. 986 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:57,320 Speaker 1: They were just they were poor, hard working people, and 987 00:58:57,600 --> 00:58:59,880 Speaker 1: the working men and women that's I mean. I have 988 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 1: such an affinity for the people that do all of 989 00:59:04,680 --> 00:59:07,880 Speaker 1: the living and working and building in this country. It's 990 00:59:07,880 --> 00:59:10,720 Speaker 1: what like I watched once a year. I watched it 991 00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,920 Speaker 1: over Christmas. It's a wonderful life. You know. Well, they 992 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,960 Speaker 1: might be whatever to you, mister Potter, but not to 993 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,800 Speaker 1: my dad. My dad believed that, you know, if somebody's 994 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,080 Speaker 1: going to work and bleed for their country and fight 995 00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: and live and pay tax, that they want to be 996 00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:25,800 Speaker 1: able to do a decent home with a bath and 997 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 1: a decent neighborhood. I mean, it's the people that make 998 00:59:30,760 --> 00:59:34,400 Speaker 1: this country great. I mean, I know everyone. We kind 999 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,160 Speaker 1: of always focus on the New York and the d 1000 00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: C in the La and San Francisco. But the rest 1001 00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,200 Speaker 1: of the country is filled with people that do all 1002 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:48,600 Speaker 1: of the building, manufacturing, hard work that makes this country 1003 00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: the great country it is. And we have the freedom 1004 00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:54,800 Speaker 1: to pursue our dreams and build for our own families 1005 00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 1: in the process. I agree on. Since I retired, I've 1006 00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 1: worked in manufacturing and in aviation and in the steel industry, 1007 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:04,640 Speaker 1: and I have the honor of being a union manager 1008 01:00:04,720 --> 01:00:08,560 Speaker 1: now and doing natance and just just I've saw there 1009 01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,040 Speaker 1: people working for me, and I'm very blessed for the 1010 01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:14,400 Speaker 1: way everything's turned out. Pretty happy. All right, Thanks for 1011 01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:17,040 Speaker 1: a good call. God bless your grandfather.

We've got a lot 1014 01:00:22,600 --> 01:00:24,840 Speaker 1: to get to, some breaking news with Kim Straussell, Sean 1015 01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:28,400 Speaker 1: Davis at the top of the hour, quick break, right back, 1016 01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 1: and your calls, final half hour Sean Hannity Show, all Right, 1017 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,880 Speaker 1: News roundup in Information Overload Hour eight hundred and nine 1018 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:36,640 Speaker 1: four one, Sean. If you want to be a part 1019 01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:39,919 Speaker 1: of the program, it just keeps getting worse. But the 1020 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: entire well, I guess scheme plan corrupt. You know where 1021 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: was the urgency. It's so urgent, we have urgency of impeachment. 1022 01:00:50,240 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 1: She kept telling everybody announcing the impeachment inquiry that she 1023 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 1: wanted to done expeditiously. We can't wait for the courts 1024 01:00:57,480 --> 01:01:01,200 Speaker 1: to weigh in, she said, meaning Nancy Pelosi. The Judiciary 1025 01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:07,000 Speaker 1: Committee's report declared we must act immediately the compromise corrupt 1026 01:01:07,040 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 1: congenital liars starring in the Shift Show, arguing it is 1027 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 1: an urgent matter that cannot wait if we are to 1028 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,000 Speaker 1: protect the nations security and integrity of our elections. Nadler, 1029 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 1: impeachment a matter of urgency, and it goes on and on. Now, 1030 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,520 Speaker 1: even Diane Feinstein. If it's so urgent, if we're gonna 1031 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,200 Speaker 1: do it, send them over. I don't see what good 1032 01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:34,760 Speaker 1: delayed does Chris Murphy, I think the time has passed. 1033 01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 1: He should send them over. Mansion. I think it needs 1034 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 1: to start. Angus King, it's time for the speaker to 1035 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:46,160 Speaker 1: send the articles. Doug Jones, Alabama, hoping Pelosi will soon 1036 01:01:46,240 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 1: submit the articles of impeachment. Most people are ready to 1037 01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:53,800 Speaker 1: get moving. Bloomenthal tester Senator Coon's time to get on 1038 01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,400 Speaker 1: with it. Same thing. Why will they send what happened 1039 01:01:57,400 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 1: to the urgency, Well, they have no They they're the 1040 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:06,240 Speaker 1: ones that made a non impeachment case and they have 1041 01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,400 Speaker 1: no case. So they're like, um, well, maybe we will 1042 01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:12,120 Speaker 1: let the Senate to our job. Well, that's not what 1043 01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:16,240 Speaker 1: the Senate's job is. As Mitch McConnell discussed earlier on 1044 01:02:16,280 --> 01:02:20,840 Speaker 1: this program today, Sean Davis, co founder Federalist, Kim Strassel 1045 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,400 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal columnists, we have some other news we're 1046 01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: going to get to on the deep state in a minute, 1047 01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: but first Sean will start with you and your reaction 1048 01:02:28,920 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 1: all of this. You know, it's it's kind of been 1049 01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:36,400 Speaker 1: shocking to watch the whole spectacle unfold. We know that 1050 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,080 Speaker 1: Pelosi seems to have been bullied into impeachment from the 1051 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,760 Speaker 1: beginning by the squad and by the left wing base 1052 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,800 Speaker 1: of her conference in the House, and then to watch 1053 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:48,280 Speaker 1: it actually unfold. They had no case, to hide everything 1054 01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,720 Speaker 1: in the basement of the Capitol, to keep stuff secret, 1055 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,400 Speaker 1: and then when they said there is a dire threat, 1056 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,000 Speaker 1: that he was an urgent threat to American national security, 1057 01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:59,320 Speaker 1: they had to be dealt with. They then they did 1058 01:02:59,360 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: nothing for three four weeks. They're still doing nothing. It 1059 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 1: is remarkable to me how incompetently and poorly it's been 1060 01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 1: handled as a political matter by the dim. Somehow they 1061 01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:13,400 Speaker 1: keep making each decision, which for them is the most 1062 01:03:13,440 --> 01:03:17,000 Speaker 1: painful and most damaging one possible. The smart thing for 1063 01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,000 Speaker 1: them to do at this point would be to just 1064 01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:21,040 Speaker 1: cut bait and move on, but I don't think they 1065 01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:23,280 Speaker 1: can pull that off with the left wingers in their conference. 1066 01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,760 Speaker 1: I tend to agree with Sean kim Strassell, you'd take 1067 01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: on this. Well. Look, Nancy Pelosi has two problems here. 1068 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,600 Speaker 1: The first is she did want this done urgently. She 1069 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,280 Speaker 1: wanted it done by November. The problem is is that 1070 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 1: it just got delayed and delayed, and because of the 1071 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,120 Speaker 1: farcical way in which they had done it in the basement, 1072 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 1: and then they had to stage that hearing with Nadler 1073 01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 1: to bring in the experts, got pushed along to the 1074 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,440 Speaker 1: point where now it's January, and Nancy Pelosi is aware 1075 01:03:53,560 --> 01:03:57,040 Speaker 1: that she has five Democratic senators who are all running 1076 01:03:57,040 --> 01:03:59,640 Speaker 1: for the presidency, who are going to have to take 1077 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:02,080 Speaker 1: all of January off and come back to sit for 1078 01:04:02,120 --> 01:04:05,760 Speaker 1: a trial, So she doesn't want necessarily to put them 1079 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,919 Speaker 1: in that position. Yead Corey Booker today actually say, look, 1080 01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,520 Speaker 1: if this happens and I have to go back for 1081 01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:12,400 Speaker 1: a trial, I might have to drop out of the race. 1082 01:04:12,440 --> 01:04:15,280 Speaker 1: I can't do fundraising, I can't be involved. So that's 1083 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 1: one problem or other problem is from the very beginning, 1084 01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:21,840 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosia is always understood that the end result of 1085 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,720 Speaker 1: this is acquittal in the Senate, and she's in no 1086 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,040 Speaker 1: hurry to give a President Trump that victory, and so 1087 01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: she's sitting on it. The problem, though, is is beginning 1088 01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:34,400 Speaker 1: to look extremely cynical. Well cynical, I mean, it just 1089 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:37,520 Speaker 1: is who they are, what they do in their obsession. 1090 01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,760 Speaker 1: Both of you have done a very deep, compelling dive 1091 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,840 Speaker 1: every step of the way on the issues of the corruption, 1092 01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:47,080 Speaker 1: abuse of power the one percent in the Intel community. 1093 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,160 Speaker 1: No matter how many times I say, well you didn't 1094 01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:51,960 Speaker 1: trust the Intel community in the last three years, I'm like, yeah, 1095 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:54,720 Speaker 1: I did, the ninety nine percent, not the one percent 1096 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 1: that abused power. In turn the powerful tools of intelligence 1097 01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:02,040 Speaker 1: we entrust them with to protect us on the American 1098 01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:06,920 Speaker 1: people illegally, like the lying FISA applications. It's beyond bewildering 1099 01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 1: to me at times where people go but there are 1100 01:05:08,960 --> 01:05:12,080 Speaker 1: two articles out. One is in The Federalist and the 1101 01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 1: second in the Hill. It appears if you look at 1102 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:17,720 Speaker 1: all of this, and by the way, I mean Kim 1103 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,040 Speaker 1: Strossell's books, you did a great job. How Trump haters 1104 01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 1: are breaking America. I thought it was amazing. Anyway, to 1105 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:27,200 Speaker 1: a peer, Stephan Helper, or as handler, exaggerated the circumstances 1106 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: of Helper's mid July twenty sixteen meeting with Donald Trump 1107 01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:36,000 Speaker 1: campaign advisor Carter Page, raising more questions about Helper's Roland spygate. 1108 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:40,240 Speaker 1: The Federalist did ask carter Page whether the Inspector General report, 1109 01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:45,120 Speaker 1: which documented seventeen it breaks down into fifty some odd 1110 01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 1: significant inaccuracyason omissions and the secret surveillance applications accurately portrayed 1111 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: his various interactions with Helper, and according to the IG report, 1112 01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 1: after the launch of what we now know to be 1113 01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:01,600 Speaker 1: Crossfire Hurricane, the FBI did in fact task Helper as 1114 01:06:01,680 --> 01:06:07,120 Speaker 1: a confidential human source, targeting Page Papadopoulos and Sam Clovis, 1115 01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,480 Speaker 1: and Helper's handling agent told the IG it was serendipitous 1116 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,479 Speaker 1: that sourced two, the moniker they used for Helper, had 1117 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,880 Speaker 1: contacts with three of the four subjects including Carter Page, 1118 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,520 Speaker 1: and they couldn't believe their luck. And the handling agent 1119 01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 1: noted upon learning that Helper knew Michael Flynn Paul Manaford 1120 01:06:24,760 --> 01:06:27,720 Speaker 1: and had cross passed with Page weeks before, sean, let's 1121 01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 1: get to your piece first, and the Federalists. Isn't it 1122 01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 1: curious how all these coincidences stack up? And that IG report, 1123 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,920 Speaker 1: for those who read it, I think was pretty eye opening, 1124 01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,520 Speaker 1: and how it confirms so so much of what many 1125 01:06:40,520 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 1: of us had said for years, which was basically that 1126 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,560 Speaker 1: much of this surveillance in this operation against the Trump 1127 01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 1: campaign waged by the FBI was done under false pretenses. 1128 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,440 Speaker 1: One thing that was in the IG report that Democrats 1129 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:58,080 Speaker 1: glommed onto was this suggestion that everything was okay and 1130 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,680 Speaker 1: kosher and how the FBI case was opened against Trump, 1131 01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,919 Speaker 1: which isn't really what the IG report said, which led 1132 01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:06,880 Speaker 1: Barr and both Durham to come out and say, you 1133 01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:09,320 Speaker 1: know what, we're not sure the thing was properly predicated. 1134 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:12,440 Speaker 1: And the piece today in the Federalist from Margo Cleveland 1135 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:15,800 Speaker 1: gets into that long before that case was open, Stephan Helper, 1136 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:18,720 Speaker 1: who was prior to that and became after that a 1137 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 1: confidential human source for the FBI was sniffing around the 1138 01:07:22,080 --> 01:07:24,720 Speaker 1: carter Page camp, inviting him two events, and in one 1139 01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 1: case he even told the FBI a claim which carter 1140 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:31,040 Speaker 1: Page denies the carter Page offered him a job on 1141 01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:33,880 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. It's just fascinating to me that the 1142 01:07:33,960 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: more we learn, even giving you everything, we know, the 1143 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 1: worst the FBI and the intelligence apparatus look. And I 1144 01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:43,440 Speaker 1: for one can't wait until Durham finishes as an investigation 1145 01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:46,040 Speaker 1: and we can actually get all the answers to our 1146 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:48,680 Speaker 1: questions about what happened in twenty sixteen and beyond and 1147 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 1: what should take on this. Kim Strassell, I mean, what 1148 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,560 Speaker 1: I love about Kimberly Strassell is she reads all this stuff, 1149 01:07:54,600 --> 01:07:56,800 Speaker 1: she reads it in the detail. John. The problem with 1150 01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:58,840 Speaker 1: the IG report in my mind, and it did a 1151 01:07:58,880 --> 01:08:01,720 Speaker 1: good job on many aspects of this, but it basically 1152 01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,640 Speaker 1: started the narrative on July thirty first, twenty sixteen, which 1153 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:10,240 Speaker 1: is when the FBI says it officially opened its counterintelligence investigation. 1154 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:13,640 Speaker 1: There was lots of stuff going on before that, and 1155 01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,919 Speaker 1: we still don't know the answers to it. And it's 1156 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,599 Speaker 1: one of the narratives I lay out in my book 1157 01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,639 Speaker 1: is you go back. You've got former Attorney General Lauretta 1158 01:08:22,720 --> 01:08:25,360 Speaker 1: Lynch acknowledging that Jim Combe came to her in the 1159 01:08:25,400 --> 01:08:28,560 Speaker 1: spring and said, hey, we've got eyes on carter Page. 1160 01:08:28,600 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 1: Who's working for the Trump campaign. Okay, so I I 1161 01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 1: in the same carter Page that we now know to 1162 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,880 Speaker 1: have been working for years the CIA. That carter Page, 1163 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: that one, and this conversation looks to have happened just 1164 01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,479 Speaker 1: a few weeks after carter Page was brought on to 1165 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,719 Speaker 1: the Trump campaign. So one of the FBI doing all 1166 01:08:48,760 --> 01:08:52,480 Speaker 1: the way back then. Nobody has ever given an explanation, 1167 01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:55,800 Speaker 1: you know. And what was Helper being asked to do 1168 01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:58,360 Speaker 1: at that point? Who else did he know? What are 1169 01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,800 Speaker 1: the connections with British and religence, what are the connections 1170 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 1: with outside groups like Fusion, GPS, stuff was happening in 1171 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 1: the spring. We still don't know what it was. It 1172 01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,920 Speaker 1: may have involved intelligence agencies as well too domestically. This 1173 01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,160 Speaker 1: is what Dirham's looking at and what we still need 1174 01:09:15,200 --> 01:09:17,800 Speaker 1: the answers too well. And I think when we get 1175 01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:19,640 Speaker 1: to the bottom of it, I mean, just look at 1176 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,960 Speaker 1: the words Sean Davis of the Attorney General. Yes, that 1177 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:29,200 Speaker 1: would be spying. We now know that both Dorham and 1178 01:09:29,400 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: the Attorney General Barr have been spending quite a bit 1179 01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:38,520 Speaker 1: of time apparently with some friendly countries Western European allies 1180 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,000 Speaker 1: like Italy and Great Britain, and apparently a lot of 1181 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:44,800 Speaker 1: contact with Australia as well. And now the question is 1182 01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 1: whether or not the outsourcing of intelligence gathering, spying on 1183 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: American citizens, maybe even a candidate, a president elect and 1184 01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:57,479 Speaker 1: a president took place to circumvent American law by top 1185 01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 1: intel people, not the ninety nine percent that I always 1186 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 1: distinguish between, right. It's fascinating when you look at a 1187 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 1: key character named Joseph ms Sued, who is allegedly the 1188 01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,000 Speaker 1: guy who kicked off this thing based on a conversation 1189 01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,000 Speaker 1: he had with George Popadopoulos, which was then related to 1190 01:10:14,040 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 1: an Australian diplomat and then eventually to the FBI. Were 1191 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,680 Speaker 1: told that that's what started this investigation. And ahead of 1192 01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:23,600 Speaker 1: that IG report coming out, there are a couple weeks 1193 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,800 Speaker 1: mainly to the Washington Post claiming that the I would 1194 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:30,000 Speaker 1: say that miss Sued he wasn't being used to set 1195 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,760 Speaker 1: up anything, He wasn't an asset in any way. But 1196 01:10:32,840 --> 01:10:36,080 Speaker 1: when you actually look into the IG report, what the 1197 01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,560 Speaker 1: Inspector General found was one that miss Wood wasn't anywhere 1198 01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:44,000 Speaker 1: in the FBI's books as a source. Anything after that 1199 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:47,840 Speaker 1: was completely redacted. And so what we suspect, I think 1200 01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:50,360 Speaker 1: along with a lot of other people, is that this 1201 01:10:50,479 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 1: character who is central to the whole narrative against the 1202 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:56,320 Speaker 1: Trump campaign was actually working with on behalf of, or 1203 01:10:56,360 --> 01:11:00,599 Speaker 1: perhaps unwittingly for, some sort of Western intelligence agency. When 1204 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:02,920 Speaker 1: you look at what he was doing, with what Helper 1205 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:06,240 Speaker 1: was doing, with so many of these meetings that were 1206 01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 1: held overseas, it paints a pretty clear picture that there 1207 01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,000 Speaker 1: is a lot of intel nonsence going on, potentially involving 1208 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:18,479 Speaker 1: our intelligence agencies, but definitely involving so called friendly governments 1209 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: helping with it. And we all deserve answers on this. 1210 01:11:21,600 --> 01:11:24,400 Speaker 1: We deserve them now. It's absurd as taken this long, 1211 01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,839 Speaker 1: but we deserve them now. A full accounting of everything 1212 01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,439 Speaker 1: that happens. Well, it's coming quickly. If I had to 1213 01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,679 Speaker 1: guess sometime, and I guess, you know, justice the wheels 1214 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,839 Speaker 1: of justice moves slowly, especially if you're being complete and thorough. 1215 01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:39,400 Speaker 1: And from what I understand and my sources have told 1216 01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:43,519 Speaker 1: me repeatedly. Durham and Barr have made incredible strides and 1217 01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,719 Speaker 1: getting to the bottom of the origins of this witch 1218 01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 1: hunt and other issues. Stay right there, Sean Davis, Kimberly Strassell, 1219 01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,880 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal, Continue Sean Davis, co founder The Federalist 1220 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 1: kim Strassel Wall Street Journal, Calumnists or best selling book 1221 01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,679 Speaker 1: Resistance at All Cost. How Trumps are breaking America? Well, 1222 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 1: we'll actually find out in two ninety nine days, Kimberly Strossell. 1223 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:09,000 Speaker 1: But going back. Devin Newness was on with Laura Ingram 1224 01:12:09,160 --> 01:12:11,640 Speaker 1: last night on the Fox News Channel. I happen to 1225 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:13,880 Speaker 1: be very fond of the work that he was proven 1226 01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 1: to be correct in the Newness report. And we know 1227 01:12:16,439 --> 01:12:22,080 Speaker 1: that the congenital liar and compromise corrupt Adam Schiff basically 1228 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,880 Speaker 1: told lies in his report. Well, they barely used the 1229 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,880 Speaker 1: dirty dossier. How is it, Kimberly, that your colleagues in 1230 01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:33,400 Speaker 1: the media mob and these people in Congress that just lie, 1231 01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:39,320 Speaker 1: They never apologize, retract, revise and extent remarks. They never 1232 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,559 Speaker 1: they just dig into the next group of lies, and 1233 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:45,200 Speaker 1: it seems to work for them. I guess yeah. I mean, 1234 01:12:45,240 --> 01:12:48,360 Speaker 1: that was one of the most important aspects of the 1235 01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:50,800 Speaker 1: IG report out that we were talking about is that 1236 01:12:51,120 --> 01:12:53,479 Speaker 1: he did not say so in so many words, but 1237 01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:59,200 Speaker 1: he basically said democrats in the media purposely misled the country. Well, 1238 01:12:59,200 --> 01:13:02,559 Speaker 1: I should say at least the Democrats did. Adam Shift 1239 01:13:02,600 --> 01:13:05,920 Speaker 1: saw all of the same documents that Devin Newness did, 1240 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,280 Speaker 1: and yet he presented a narrative that was absolutely false, 1241 01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:12,519 Speaker 1: and the media mob, as you were talking about, chose 1242 01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:15,920 Speaker 1: to rely on him despite a proven track record of 1243 01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,880 Speaker 1: overstating things or again misleading the country, and so you 1244 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,599 Speaker 1: have this embarrassing spectacle. Nobody has yet apologized. I don't 1245 01:13:24,640 --> 01:13:29,200 Speaker 1: necessarily expect them too, but this is terrible for the 1246 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,719 Speaker 1: media industry, and it's why so many Americans have lost 1247 01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:36,559 Speaker 1: all faith in so many of these outlets. Last fifteen seconds, 1248 01:13:36,520 --> 01:13:40,160 Speaker 1: Sean Davis, Yeah, I think it's about time we do 1249 01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,640 Speaker 1: something about the unholy alliance between the media and the 1250 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,800 Speaker 1: deep state, because without that, this entire hoax could never 1251 01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,520 Speaker 1: have been perpetrated, and somebody there needs to be accountable 1252 01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:50,559 Speaker 1: to make sure it doesn't happen again. All Right, thank 1253 01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:53,360 Speaker 1: you both for being with us, Kimberly Strassell and Sean 1254 01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:56,559 Speaker 1: Davis let me play again here what we've been playing 1255 01:13:56,600 --> 01:13:58,880 Speaker 1: earlier in the program, and that is, oh, let's listen 1256 01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:01,760 Speaker 1: to the hypocrite. And even McConnell pointed it out. Chuck 1257 01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:05,880 Speaker 1: Schumer ran on not convicting Bill Glinton from ninety eight 1258 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:08,680 Speaker 1: ninety nine, the best of Schumer, the hypocrite. This is 1259 01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:11,120 Speaker 1: not a criminal trial, but this is something that the 1260 01:14:11,160 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: founding fathers decided to put in a body that was 1261 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 1: susceptible to the whims of politics. And also it's not 1262 01:14:16,640 --> 01:14:19,639 Speaker 1: like a jury box in the sense that people will 1263 01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:22,720 Speaker 1: call us and lobby us. You don't have jurors call 1264 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:25,719 Speaker 1: what lobbied and things like that. I mean, it's quite 1265 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,960 Speaker 1: different than a jury. Today we are upping the ante. 1266 01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:33,200 Speaker 1: The president could be removed from office over a matter 1267 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:37,320 Speaker 1: that most Americans field doesn't come close to the level 1268 01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: of high crimes and misdemeanors is written in our Constitution. 1269 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,639 Speaker 1: I expect history will show that we've lowered the bar 1270 01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:47,240 Speaker 1: on impeachment so much, we have broken the seal on 1271 01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:51,519 Speaker 1: this extremely stream penalty so cavalierly that it will be 1272 01:14:51,640 --> 01:14:55,599 Speaker 1: used as a routine tool to fight political battles. My 1273 01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:58,719 Speaker 1: fear is that when a Republican wins the White House, 1274 01:14:59,200 --> 01:15:04,320 Speaker 1: Democrats demand payback. Oh, I guess it's payback time, because 1275 01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:06,720 Speaker 1: that was Schumer in ninety eight, the first cut of 1276 01:15:06,800 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 1: him in ninety nine. Oh wow, what a difference here. 1277 01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:12,839 Speaker 1: You know, you got uh, you know, Schumer pan because 1278 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:16,960 Speaker 1: the Clinton Peachman testimony called theater. Oh now he wants 1279 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 1: witnesses in the Trump trial. I mean it's just like 1280 01:15:20,600 --> 01:15:23,559 Speaker 1: you know, Gerald Nadler didn't even did not even want 1281 01:15:23,800 --> 01:15:27,640 Speaker 1: Ken Stars report that was under the old Independent Council's statute. 1282 01:15:27,920 --> 01:15:31,439 Speaker 1: He didn't even want it released. Oh now, oh, we've 1283 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:36,080 Speaker 1: got to release everything. Although when they change the Independent 1284 01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 1: Council statute and I have the Special Council, there's no 1285 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:42,120 Speaker 1: obligation to release a single page of what Robert Muller 1286 01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,919 Speaker 1: put out. What we want everything, we want the underlying materials. 1287 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,200 Speaker 1: We want the Hannity three zero two's. Oh that's going 1288 01:15:47,240 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 1: to help him out a lot, you know, from people 1289 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:54,559 Speaker 1: that they determined that lied to them. Let's find out 1290 01:15:54,600 --> 01:15:58,280 Speaker 1: what they say about Hannity. And you keep look, Linda's 1291 01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,080 Speaker 1: laughing because you know it's true. It's so dumb, it's 1292 01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,559 Speaker 1: so hypocritical. I mean, I don't know whether to laugh 1293 01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,840 Speaker 1: or cry. Sometimes the crying part is because it's all 1294 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:13,200 Speaker 1: serious as our country here, and there's in their twisted 1295 01:16:13,360 --> 01:16:17,240 Speaker 1: six psychotic rage. I wish there was some medication we 1296 01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:19,240 Speaker 1: could offer them, and I don't think anything that is 1297 01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:22,000 Speaker 1: going to help these people. Oh I have the perfect medication. 1298 01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:27,439 Speaker 1: What's the perfect medication? Retirement? Goodbye? Maybe? Well, yeah, that's true, 1299 01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:32,000 Speaker 1: but you and I both know that ninety eight percent 1300 01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,240 Speaker 1: of incumbents win reelection because the one thing Democrats and 1301 01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:38,240 Speaker 1: Republicans do agree on is jerrymandering. You know. I have 1302 01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,920 Speaker 1: a real issue with Pelosi in particular because this is 1303 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:43,519 Speaker 1: a woman who wanted us to pass healthcare, and we 1304 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,360 Speaker 1: did because we had to pass the bill to find 1305 01:16:45,400 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 1: out what was in it, and we were in such 1306 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,679 Speaker 1: a big hurry to have the impeachment hearings all throughout 1307 01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:52,640 Speaker 1: the Christmas holiday because such a sense of urgency with 1308 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,960 Speaker 1: the president. And now she's sitting on the articles because 1309 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:57,280 Speaker 1: she wants to know how the Senate's going to do 1310 01:16:57,320 --> 01:16:59,479 Speaker 1: their job. That's not in her business. She's not in 1311 01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:03,280 Speaker 1: the Senate, he's in Congress. Yeah, that's not her constitutional role. 1312 01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:07,200 Speaker 1: That would be the Senates and Mitch McConnell seems, you know, 1313 01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,200 Speaker 1: pretty comfortable with the idea, will do what we did 1314 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:14,040 Speaker 1: with Clinton. And first we're gonna let the Democrats the 1315 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:17,160 Speaker 1: House managers, whoever she chooses. I wonder if she's gonna 1316 01:17:17,200 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: put in the congenital liar, I doubt it. I wonder 1317 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:24,160 Speaker 1: if the compromise corrupt congenital liar Adam Schiff is going 1318 01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:27,880 Speaker 1: to lead the House managers and presenting their case. After all, 1319 01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:32,679 Speaker 1: he led the audition behind closed door witness moments. Let's 1320 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,519 Speaker 1: see who's going to be the best public witness. And 1321 01:17:35,720 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 1: remember he still I don't think, has released all of 1322 01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:41,080 Speaker 1: those transcripts, which is interesting. And then then they when 1323 01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,160 Speaker 1: we had the shift show publicly and unfortunately, they only 1324 01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,439 Speaker 1: had one fact witness, a lot of opinion, a lot 1325 01:17:46,439 --> 01:17:49,600 Speaker 1: of hearsay witnesses, but only one fact witness, and that 1326 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:54,719 Speaker 1: fact witness offered information exculpatory towards the president. So they've 1327 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,479 Speaker 1: got they know they've got a bad they know what 1328 01:17:57,600 --> 01:18:02,800 Speaker 1: they did has now gone to overreach. And that's why 1329 01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:07,240 Speaker 1: you see Senate Democrats a little bit more sober than 1330 01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:13,639 Speaker 1: their House colleagues, recognizing the horrific position that the House 1331 01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:17,679 Speaker 1: has put them in. They're gonna lose, They're gonna lose badly, 1332 01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,320 Speaker 1: and some of them may lose their jobs over it. 1333 01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,439 Speaker 1: So if it's so urgent, like they claim, send them over, 1334 01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:29,519 Speaker 1: who knows what they'll do. You know, Schumer, you go 1335 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:34,880 Speaker 1: back Schumer back in the day. Impeachment double standard. Historically speaking, 1336 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:38,960 Speaker 1: you're also voting against admitting new evidence in the Senate trial. 1337 01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 1: Whipsie Daisy, what's what's difference saying in ninety nine if 1338 01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:47,160 Speaker 1: I don't want any evidence, want no new witnesses, you know, 1339 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,880 Speaker 1: it's like you can't make this stuff up half the time, 1340 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,559 Speaker 1: then you say, all right, we'll do it. The difference is, 1341 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:56,360 Speaker 1: actually Nuke Gingridge was fair New Ginger. They didn't afford 1342 01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: one consideration that Nuke Gingrich and reply publicans in ninety 1343 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 1: eight afforded Bill Clinton and his attorneys at the time. 1344 01:19:05,439 --> 01:19:07,320 Speaker 1: Do you pick the date, will give you any date 1345 01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:09,840 Speaker 1: you want to take as long as you need. Yes, 1346 01:19:09,960 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 1: you can bring witnesses, Yes you can cross examine. Yes, 1347 01:19:14,320 --> 01:19:17,759 Speaker 1: you can present evidence. Yes you can object the evidence. 1348 01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 1: All of that was there for them. All right, let's 1349 01:19:21,200 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 1: get to our phones here as promised eight hundred and 1350 01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,160 Speaker 1: ninety four, one sewn, you want to be a part 1351 01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:26,920 Speaker 1: of the program. We have a lot of swing state 1352 01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:32,000 Speaker 1: callers today. Laura is in North Carolina. Gotta win North 1353 01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:34,840 Speaker 1: Carolina for Republican to win. How are you, Laura? Glad 1354 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,280 Speaker 1: you called? Happy New Year? Hey, hey, Sean, I'm not 1355 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: glad that we're a swing state. That. The reason I'm calling, 1356 01:19:42,520 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 1: obviously impeachment is everything you said, It's true. I'm calling 1357 01:19:48,160 --> 01:19:51,800 Speaker 1: because i am absolutely furious and i am scared. The 1358 01:19:51,840 --> 01:19:55,840 Speaker 1: reason I'm furious is because of the reaction to the 1359 01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,360 Speaker 1: killing of Solomony. I'm a daughter of I see these 1360 01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:05,120 Speaker 1: Air Force colonel from intelligence and a mother of son 1361 01:20:05,160 --> 01:20:11,080 Speaker 1: that's about to go to to basic training. My dad 1362 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: was in the position of having to put people in 1363 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:19,479 Speaker 1: position to die for our country, and it's something that 1364 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:25,040 Speaker 1: he cheers up at. Now. Trump got information, same information, 1365 01:20:25,240 --> 01:20:31,679 Speaker 1: great information from our community and acted on it based 1366 01:20:31,720 --> 01:20:35,080 Speaker 1: on history. And even if Solomony had not been planning 1367 01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:38,599 Speaker 1: something in the future, he had earned his death from 1368 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:42,760 Speaker 1: twenty years of American blood on his hands. Trump did 1369 01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:48,799 Speaker 1: exactly the right and the very hard, hard thing. And 1370 01:20:49,200 --> 01:20:52,800 Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi and Schumer and all the idiots that are 1371 01:20:52,880 --> 01:20:56,680 Speaker 1: running for president should be calling Trump and saying, you know, 1372 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't agree with you, I'm running against you, but 1373 01:20:59,400 --> 01:21:02,679 Speaker 1: I'm just going to say thank you for saving American lives. 1374 01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:06,040 Speaker 1: And some of those voters, those crazy voters that are 1375 01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,439 Speaker 1: going to vote for me, and they didn't, and they're 1376 01:21:08,479 --> 01:21:12,120 Speaker 1: trying to make this all about them. Ilhand Omar giggling 1377 01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:16,040 Speaker 1: in the background, and I am just frustrated. The reason 1378 01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:19,680 Speaker 1: I'm scared is not because of Trump or the Iranians. 1379 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,120 Speaker 1: I'm scared because of the media, who is now not 1380 01:21:23,320 --> 01:21:29,120 Speaker 1: DNCTV but Iranian TV for us in America. And I'm 1381 01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:33,040 Speaker 1: scared that this has gotten out of control and if 1382 01:21:33,080 --> 01:21:37,639 Speaker 1: Trump does not, when we're doomed as a nation. Look, 1383 01:21:37,680 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie in terms of I think we're 1384 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,000 Speaker 1: on the brink. I remember what I said when it 1385 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:46,840 Speaker 1: was Obama made the tough call to get in Laden 1386 01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:51,000 Speaker 1: and meaning to execute the mission. My only criticism at 1387 01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:54,360 Speaker 1: the time was it was so much controversy. Only three 1388 01:21:54,400 --> 01:21:58,280 Speaker 1: people have been waterboarded, only three, And the intelligence that 1389 01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 1: led us to the courier, that led us to bin 1390 01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:06,680 Speaker 1: Laden happen because of Bush Cheney policies of enhanced interrogation, 1391 01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:09,800 Speaker 1: which I think are the right policies. And that's where 1392 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 1: Khalai k Muhammad, one of the three, were involved. And 1393 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 1: I talked to Jose Rodriguez. He was in the room 1394 01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,800 Speaker 1: at the time. They had doctors there when they were 1395 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:20,080 Speaker 1: water boarding these guys. It's meant to scare the living 1396 01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:23,240 Speaker 1: hell out of you, that's what it's designed. It's uncomfortable, Yeah, 1397 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 1: of course, that's the idea to get them to talk, 1398 01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:30,000 Speaker 1: and that I'm a Christian woman and I am an 1399 01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:34,679 Speaker 1: American and torture, yes, it's awful, but you know, burning 1400 01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:39,200 Speaker 1: up a Jordanian fighter pilot and chopping up people with chetti, 1401 01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,639 Speaker 1: all the stuff that they do to their own people, 1402 01:22:41,760 --> 01:22:46,320 Speaker 1: our people, and our NATO allies. I think that's a 1403 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:51,000 Speaker 1: little more than waterboarding with doctors in the room and 1404 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,320 Speaker 1: the intelligence that we need to keep ourselves and not 1405 01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:58,439 Speaker 1: only the West, our NATO partner's safe. We need to 1406 01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:01,600 Speaker 1: do it. So listen, it got us bin Laden. You 1407 01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:04,559 Speaker 1: gotta give credit to oh Mama. One of the few 1408 01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 1: things I thought he did that was dead on right 1409 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,639 Speaker 1: and gutsy. It was a gutsy decision. But it wouldn't 1410 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 1: have happened but for enhanced interrogation, which is my point. 1411 01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:16,560 Speaker 1: Here's a way to look at enhanced the interrogation. Anybody 1412 01:23:16,600 --> 01:23:18,920 Speaker 1: out there listening to the show that has kids, Okay, 1413 01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,880 Speaker 1: two guys come into your house, they take your child, 1414 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 1: and they're running out of the house. You race out 1415 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,280 Speaker 1: to go save your child. You tackle one of the two, 1416 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:31,760 Speaker 1: the other one gets away with your child. Now you've 1417 01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,760 Speaker 1: got that guy in custody. What are you going to 1418 01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 1: do to get the information or what wouldn't you do 1419 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,200 Speaker 1: to get the information to where his partner in crime 1420 01:23:39,320 --> 01:23:41,920 Speaker 1: is taking your kidnap child. I don't think there'd be 1421 01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,479 Speaker 1: a whole lot that I wouldn't consider doing it that moment, 1422 01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,720 Speaker 1: and I wouldn't feel bad about it. Does that bring 1423 01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,200 Speaker 1: it home? Because if you make a choice to be 1424 01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:52,640 Speaker 1: a terrorist and do those things, then you need to 1425 01:23:52,680 --> 01:23:56,800 Speaker 1: expect that you're going to be maybe treated away to 1426 01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:00,519 Speaker 1: give the information because these are actsicant humanity, and people 1427 01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:05,280 Speaker 1: call Trump hitler. These people are Hitler times a hundred. Look, 1428 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,920 Speaker 1: radical Islamis have made it clear that's why we can't. 1429 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,800 Speaker 1: A day of reckoning's coming, Prime Minister, you know h 1430 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:13,080 Speaker 1: and by the way, thank you for a good call. 1431 01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 1: Laura has made it clear we're the big Satan. Israel's 1432 01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:20,760 Speaker 1: a little Satan. These Mullahs, in their radicalism, their fanaticism, 1433 01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:24,519 Speaker 1: they think God and their theocracy is instructing them and 1434 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:28,040 Speaker 1: will reward them for killing the infidels. That's a pretty 1435 01:24:28,160 --> 01:24:32,200 Speaker 1: ugly twisted ideology that if you ever combine it with 1436 01:24:32,320 --> 01:24:36,240 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons, we're in trouble. Then we're talking about great potential, 1437 01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,320 Speaker 1: great potential for a modern day holocaust. And that is 1438 01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 1: not hyperbole that's not overstating an obvious existential threat to 1439 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:48,840 Speaker 1: the world, a clear and present danger. You can see 1440 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:53,840 Speaker 1: the urgency because you wouldn't have expected Egypt, Jordan, the Saudis, 1441 01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 1: the Emirates to align with Israel and the US to 1442 01:24:56,960 --> 01:25:00,360 Speaker 1: fight back against this Iranian hegemony. You wouldn't seeking of 1443 01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,320 Speaker 1: the mob You know, I mentioned this earlier. You got 1444 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:06,000 Speaker 1: the New York Times in Iran. Solomani's death is like 1445 01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,559 Speaker 1: mlk's death in America. I don't make this up. Then 1446 01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,559 Speaker 1: you got fake news MSDNC, the conspiracy channel News channel. 1447 01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:19,639 Speaker 1: They're live coverage promoting Solomoni's burial widely publicized. Thousands took 1448 01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:22,200 Speaker 1: to the streets in Tehran, and NBC News takes it 1449 01:25:22,240 --> 01:25:26,000 Speaker 1: a step further providing coverage of his burial in his hometown. 1450 01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,960 Speaker 1: Watch live coverage as General Solomani is buried in the 1451 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,800 Speaker 1: hometown of Kerman. Iran NBC tweeted, why do I have 1452 01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,240 Speaker 1: a problem with that? A lot of critics have slammed 1453 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:40,799 Speaker 1: the network for promoting the terrorists mastermind's burial on social 1454 01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:44,920 Speaker 1: media responsible for killing hundreds and hundreds of Americans. I 1455 01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,400 Speaker 1: just it's it's hard to it's hard to fathom. Then 1456 01:25:47,479 --> 01:25:52,080 Speaker 1: Democratic lawmakers know better. Iran doesn't have crazy leaders, unlike 1457 01:25:52,160 --> 01:25:55,880 Speaker 1: the US that wasn't real clear investigations. Mark Hemingway's piece 1458 01:25:55,920 --> 01:26:00,520 Speaker 1: at onn foxnews dot Com. Avoid being Iran's lawyer, Democratic 1459 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:04,000 Speaker 1: insiders have to warn their twenty twenty contenders how to 1460 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:08,400 Speaker 1: frame the issue. None of this I'm making up, all right, 1461 01:26:08,479 --> 01:26:11,840 Speaker 1: Michigan another swing state. Dan next Sean Hannity's show, We 1462 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:13,920 Speaker 1: need you in two hundred ninety nine days, Sir, glad 1463 01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,759 Speaker 1: you called, Yeah, thank Sean, and we need you too. 1464 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:18,960 Speaker 1: So I don't forget that point. I tell you. I 1465 01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:22,559 Speaker 1: am annoyed on the Iranian thing, not because Trump has 1466 01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:26,400 Speaker 1: to justify kill in s Salomini, but because we didn't 1467 01:26:26,400 --> 01:26:29,800 Speaker 1: bomb one hundred targets throughout the country of Iran and 1468 01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:32,840 Speaker 1: devastate them. And then in the example, I told the 1469 01:26:33,439 --> 01:26:35,880 Speaker 1: person I talked to before I got to you, is Israel. 1470 01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:38,759 Speaker 1: We got to learn from them when when Hamas serious 1471 01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:41,040 Speaker 1: missiles at Israel, they don't sit there and say, well, 1472 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 1: do we want to go to war with Hamas? No, 1473 01:26:43,479 --> 01:26:47,920 Speaker 1: But but you gotta remember that Israel they are always 1474 01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:52,479 Speaker 1: measured in their response. They absolutely respond back. They could 1475 01:26:52,520 --> 01:26:55,759 Speaker 1: have literally blown them into smith ens, the entire place, 1476 01:26:55,840 --> 01:26:58,400 Speaker 1: the gaza, wherever you want, but they have shown restraint. 1477 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:01,640 Speaker 1: We care about human life. Nobody's really picked up on 1478 01:27:01,680 --> 01:27:04,160 Speaker 1: the fact Solomoni was flying commercial. We could have taken 1479 01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,600 Speaker 1: out the jetliner. We care about the other passengers in 1480 01:27:06,640 --> 01:27:08,920 Speaker 1: the plane. That's who we are. That defines us. They 1481 01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:14,080 Speaker 1: fire weapons into Israel from schools and from hospitals. Why 1482 01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:16,840 Speaker 1: to make it more difficult for the Israelis to fight back, 1483 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,960 Speaker 1: because they put a value on human life. So I 1484 01:27:21,080 --> 01:27:25,839 Speaker 1: think the president was measured. He always has that option 1485 01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,680 Speaker 1: that you're referring to. That option is still on the 1486 01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:33,080 Speaker 1: table and it might get used one day. Dan, good call. 1487 01:27:34,439 --> 01:27:36,400 Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
