Speaker 1: All right, glad you with us. We are loaded up today.
Speaker 1: It's all free. Our telephone numbers eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: for one sean. You want to be a part of
Speaker 1: this extravaganza, Let not your heart be trouble. Let me
Speaker 1: let me explain in detail why I am not at
Speaker 1: all worried about what is a garbage typical swamp sewer,
Speaker 1: compromised whatever you want to call this bill that the
Speaker 1: we've had, We've had people on both sides and they're
Speaker 1: negotiating room and we believe we have come to a conclusion, yeah,
Speaker 1: that it never gets the job done. Okay, fine, Um,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to that in detail. We've got huge developments,
Speaker 1: including Devin Nounez indicating that criminal referrals on FAISA abuses
Speaker 1: are now soon to be coming. Finally the real criminals
Speaker 1: may be held accountable. We're gonna go back to Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: and by the time this is all said and done,
Speaker 1: we'll find out with the new Attorney general we have
Speaker 1: new information, thanks to I believe Judicial Watch documents, that
Speaker 1: the FBI was negotiation negotiating with the State Department to
Speaker 1: change classified status of Hillary's emails. You don't get to
Speaker 1: do that after the fact, and more indications of a crime.
Speaker 1: We got more people running for president that will tell
Speaker 1: you about the twenty twenty list keeps getting bigger and
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger. And of course the Senate Intel Committee saying,
Speaker 1: now we found no evidence of collusion, and we saw
Speaker 1: everything and it's unbelievable. John doubt I'll play it later
Speaker 1: in the program, the President's former lawyer. He just was
Speaker 1: like apoplectic, doesn't even think Muller will even come out
Speaker 1: with a report, and thinks the whole thing was a
Speaker 1: colossal waste of time and money and energy and an
Speaker 1: unprecedented attack on the executive branch, which I agree with. Um.
Speaker 1: We'll also more on the new radical extremist Democratic Socialist
Speaker 1: Party and they're just losing it day by day. And
Speaker 1: that's actually part of it. I told you this would
Speaker 1: become entertaining at some point. What we're kind of getting
Speaker 1: to that point. Um, let me begin with this deal.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you what this I guess so called
Speaker 1: compromises all about. Now. It is interesting on the one hand,
Speaker 1: because Democrats were arguing funding deal is not everything the
Speaker 1: president hope, but a good step, said Mitch McConnell or whatever.
Speaker 1: But let's start with you know, they were arguing this
Speaker 1: is immorl that building a wall is immoral. But yet
Speaker 1: they just negotiated at one point three five billion dollar
Speaker 1: quote compromise deal that's for border security, so that they
Speaker 1: will they will they're willing to be immral at a
Speaker 1: price one point three five million billion rather anyway, so
Speaker 1: this all starts getting announced as I'm going on the
Speaker 1: air last night and I know, literally ad libbing it
Speaker 1: in my opening monologue, and then the president of course
Speaker 1: at a al Paso and so what they announced that
Speaker 1: they reached the deal. It avoids a government shutdown, the deal,
Speaker 1: which I never care about. I care for the furloughed employees.
Speaker 1: It becomes a hardship for some of them. Obviously, Democrats
Speaker 1: claim to care about furloughed employees, just like they claim
Speaker 1: to care about DACA and Dreamers, but they wouldn't even
Speaker 1: sit down at the table. They obviously their hatred of
Speaker 1: Donald Trump surpasses any desire to do anything good for
Speaker 1: the country, which is sad. Anyway, the details, Washington posts
Speaker 1: one point three billion in border wall funding. President you
Speaker 1: recall requested five point seven billion. The funding is set
Speaker 1: to provide fifty five miles a new border wall along
Speaker 1: the roughly two thousand mile long southern border. A lot
Speaker 1: of this, I understand, is going to be used in
Speaker 1: the Rio Grand sector and which needs it desperately. And
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why, because literally, you can walk across
Speaker 1: that body of water. It'll take you less than a minute,
Speaker 1: and you go from Mexico into the United States. You're
Speaker 1: right there, and there's nothing to stop you except for
Speaker 1: border patrol agents. And the most insane thing that I
Speaker 1: heard was the desire of Democrats to limit the beds
Speaker 1: for immigrant detention facilities, you know. And I'm thinking, well,
Speaker 1: what if we have more illegals enter in the country
Speaker 1: and criminal the criminal element of all of this, you know.
Speaker 1: The sad part here is we now know that the
Speaker 1: Democratic Party is willing to play politics on what is
Speaker 1: a life and death safety and security issue for the
Speaker 1: American people just so they can oppose Trump. Now, they
Speaker 1: hate Trump more than they care about the ninety percent
Speaker 1: of heroin that gets into this country comes through the
Speaker 1: southern border. They hate Trump more than the human trafficking
Speaker 1: that's going on at our southern border. I interviewed a
Speaker 1: guy thirteen years border agent, border patrol agent. He worked
Speaker 1: almost exclusively in the human trafficking aspect of this. He
Speaker 1: talks about young girls from Central America Mexico trafficked into
Speaker 1: the United States rape thirty to forty times a day
Speaker 1: as they follow them these I mean, it's unbelievable. I
Speaker 1: thought Democrats had human compassion, or the cartels, etc. All
Speaker 1: of these issues that we bring up are important, but
Speaker 1: they don't seem to care because they just want to
Speaker 1: get back at Donald Trump because they don't like Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: And for them, that's what it has come down to.
Speaker 1: And but the more important aspect of this is what's
Speaker 1: right for the country, what's right for the American people,
Speaker 1: and what is in the best interest of our safety
Speaker 1: in our security as a country, because when we put
Speaker 1: that first, then we've got to secure the southern border,
Speaker 1: stop the cartels, stop the gang members, stop all these
Speaker 1: people that want to bring harm to Americans. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: not saying it's I'm saying repeatedly it's only two percent
Speaker 1: of the population to come into this country illegally. The
Speaker 1: other ninety eight, I will firmly admit, just want a
Speaker 1: better life for themselves and their families, and we're just
Speaker 1: asking that they do it legally. Anyway. The Conference Committee
Speaker 1: was formed after the President reopened the federal government, and
Speaker 1: as usual, government has failed to do its job adequately
Speaker 1: because this is the state of the Radical Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: and rightly so. Jim Jordan, Who's going to join us later,
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, He's going to join us later, you know.
Speaker 1: They said, while the President was given a great speech
Speaker 1: in El Paso, Congress was putting together a bad deal
Speaker 1: on immigration, Jordan tweeted, retweeted by Florida congressman also Freedom
Speaker 1: Caucus member Matt Gates. How's Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows
Speaker 1: laid out his specific issues with the tentative deal and said,
Speaker 1: this conference agreement is hardly a serious attempt to secure
Speaker 1: our border or stop the flow of illegal immigrants. It
Speaker 1: kicks the can down the road yet again, failing to
Speaker 1: address the critical priorities outlined by the border patrol chiefs,
Speaker 1: and specifically we're talking about the some sixty of them
Speaker 1: that went and met with the President yesterday. Now here's
Speaker 1: where I'm gonna go out on a limb and give
Speaker 1: you my best thoughts. Now, if you remember, there was
Speaker 1: a point even during the primaries. Remember there were seventeen
Speaker 1: Republicans that started out in those primaries, and I tried
Speaker 1: to be fair to everyone that got into the race,
Speaker 1: went to where they were, put them on TV, put
Speaker 1: them on radio, offered people. You know. At one point
Speaker 1: some people said, well, you're putting Donald Trump on too much.
Speaker 1: I said, because your team doesn't want the time. Well
Speaker 1: we've called it offered equal time, just to try to
Speaker 1: be fair. I don't like to get in the middle
Speaker 1: of primaries anyway. It became clear when he won Indiana
Speaker 1: he was going to be the nominee. And there was
Speaker 1: a long period of time where I have known Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: I've known him for over a couple of decades. He
Speaker 1: has he has a couple of characteristics that I've never
Speaker 1: seen as strong in any one individual. One is, the
Speaker 1: guy is absolutely fearless. Two is, he's the opposite of
Speaker 1: a politician. You know, he could take all the stress
Speaker 1: and all the fighting twenty four to seven and it
Speaker 1: does not bother him. You know, it could be the
Speaker 1: middle of whatever, you know, hysterical reporting is going on,
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it doesn't phase him. Now He's
Speaker 1: going to go out and fight back because that's his nature.
Speaker 1: But it's sort of like a blessing in his curse.
Speaker 1: We can't ask him to go fight for better trade
Speaker 1: deals and better than negotiations with other countries on issues
Speaker 1: of who's gonna pay what? Prnado and uh sit with
Speaker 1: a little rocket man and get a good deal. Everything's
Speaker 1: a negotiation with him, you know. I'd talked to him
Speaker 1: during the campaign and I'd say, hey, listen, I need you.
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna do an interview, and he'd go, well,
Speaker 1: how long And I'd say, let's do thirty minutes, and
Speaker 1: He'll say, I'll give you ten. I said, how about
Speaker 1: we do how about we do all right, twenty five? Right,
Speaker 1: I'll give you fifteen. And I really wanted twenty and
Speaker 1: he really was only gonna be doing twenty. So, you know,
Speaker 1: but everything is like a negotiation. So he gets the nomination,
Speaker 1: and many of my bread fellow conservative brethren doubted his
Speaker 1: conservative credentials, I mean, by the way, not through any
Speaker 1: fault of their own. He grew up in New York,
Speaker 1: you know. He was a political in the sense that
Speaker 1: he would donate to both parties, wanted a good relationship
Speaker 1: with everybody, and people would look at that or look
Speaker 1: at the fact that earlier in his life he was
Speaker 1: pro choice and later in his life, explained the example
Speaker 1: when he became pro life. And I put my nose
Speaker 1: out there and I said, I guarantee you he is
Speaker 1: the conservative he says he is that will keep his promises.
Speaker 1: And I think I have proven to be right again
Speaker 1: and again about Donald Trump. You know, look at the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court appointments that he's made, Look at the tax
Speaker 1: cut that he's given us, look at the endless you know,
Speaker 1: the bureaucratic cuts that he's given. And I know some
Speaker 1: people were mad when he reopened the government, but he
Speaker 1: was winning on the issue. Look at after the State
Speaker 1: of the Union speech, CBS poles show seventy two percent
Speaker 1: of the country agrees with his immigration policies, eighty percent
Speaker 1: of Independence agree with it. Eight of Independence give him
Speaker 1: high ratings. He's now got the highest approval rating ever.
Speaker 1: So I just know that how tenacious he is. And
Speaker 1: just as I said at the time when he opened
Speaker 1: the government, I said, just because he changed strategies doesn't
Speaker 1: mean he's given up on the issue, because he hasn't.
Speaker 1: Now here's what the President said and this is what
Speaker 1: I'm gleaning from it. He literally said today what I
Speaker 1: said last night on the TV show, This is a
Speaker 1: garbage bill. He said he's not happy with this package
Speaker 1: hammered out by congressional negotiators, but pledge that if he
Speaker 1: accepted this inadequate offer, he would quote add whatever I
Speaker 1: have to add to his border wall. Now, some of
Speaker 1: you may not believe that promise. Some of you may
Speaker 1: have your doubts. Here's how I interpret it. Though, the
Speaker 1: President will get a down payment, and if he goes
Speaker 1: along with this agreement of one point three five billion,
Speaker 1: he also has another nine hundred million accessible to him
Speaker 1: in moneis that have been saved, that is available to
Speaker 1: go to the wall. And this is for the fiscal
Speaker 1: year twenty nineteen, which in October one. And then when
Speaker 1: he says I'll add what I have to add, my
Speaker 1: prediction is that means he'll declare a national emergency. And
Speaker 1: I think what he's gonna do. He's gonna take the
Speaker 1: one point three five the nine hundred million, and he's
Speaker 1: immediately going to allocate it to the wall and start
Speaker 1: and continue building because they have been building with the
Speaker 1: money they got last year and the year before and
Speaker 1: then I think the President will declare the national emergency.
Speaker 1: But he got a down payment now of two point
Speaker 1: three billion dollars, so for the six months that it
Speaker 1: might take to fight in court as the Democrats go
Speaker 1: judge shopping in California, and it gets to the Ninth
Speaker 1: Circuit and we lose the first two rounds. But I
Speaker 1: would argue that this is not a case that the
Speaker 1: Supreme Court could reject outright, because it involves presidential powers,
Speaker 1: constitutional authority, and I would think that expeditiously they'd have
Speaker 1: to rule on this and if they follow the law,
Speaker 1: which I can read to you, and when we get
Speaker 1: back the President wins hands down. Now to me, that
Speaker 1: actually works out fine, But if he has to declare
Speaker 1: the national emergency for that to work all right, with
Speaker 1: only two days left until Valentine's Day, well, if you
Speaker 1: don't already have the perfect surprise picked out for all
Speaker 1: the Valentines in your life while you're cutting it really
Speaker 1: close now. Luckily for you, there's still time to win
Speaker 1: the love of all your Valentines this year with a
Speaker 1: gorgeous bouquet of vibrant red and pink roses from my
Speaker 1: friends at one eight hundred flowers dot com and right
Speaker 1: now you can get the eighteen stem and enchanted rose
Speaker 1: Medley just twenty nine ninety nine, or upgrade to twenty
Speaker 1: four sorted roses for just ten bucks more. This is
Speaker 1: an unbelievable offer, last minute from one eight hundred flowers
Speaker 1: the eighteen stem enchanted rose Medley twenty nine ninety nine
Speaker 1: or upgrade to twenty four sorted roses ten bucks more.
Speaker 1: Now to order the eighteen stem enchanted rose metally for
Speaker 1: twenty nine nine or upgraded twenty four sort of roses
Speaker 1: for ten bucks more, just go to one eight hundred
Speaker 1: flowers dot com slash Hannity. That's one eight hundred flowers
Speaker 1: dot com slash Hannity. But this offer expires two days.
Speaker 1: Some of you say, well, the President could just veto
Speaker 1: the bill and tell them to go back to the
Speaker 1: drawing board and come up with more money. But what
Speaker 1: are the odds that they're gonna do that. Let's be
Speaker 1: honest and realistic here. If they think walls are immoral,
Speaker 1: what is what are the odds that they will be reasonable?
Speaker 1: This new radical, extreme democratic socialist party. They don't have
Speaker 1: it within them to be reasonable, responsible and really we're
Speaker 1: just wasting time. And if the president again, if he
Speaker 1: gets one point three five billion as a down payment,
Speaker 1: on top of the money he got last year, which
Speaker 1: is being used even now, the nine hundred extra million
Speaker 1: dollars that's also available now and you know, now we're
Speaker 1: talking about you know, least sixty, maybe like eighty miles
Speaker 1: of fencing that can go up in critical areas we're
Speaker 1: working while the President then declares a national emergency or
Speaker 1: to use his words, I will add whatever I have
Speaker 1: to add. Well, he's telegraphing that he's serious about invoking
Speaker 1: the powers that are available to him as commander in chief,
Speaker 1: and that would be ten USC two eighty four, which
Speaker 1: I've read on the air yesterday, and that is that,
Speaker 1: you know, for the purposes the department agencies federal government, state, local,
Speaker 1: tribal law enforcement agencies grants the president the power to
Speaker 1: construct roads, fences, installation of lighting to block drugs smuggling
Speaker 1: corridors across international boundaries of the United States. It's very clear.
Speaker 1: And that's why you know, so in the interim, while
Speaker 1: the fight is going on now, if he vetoes the bill,
Speaker 1: maybe they figure out he's going to declare a national emergency.
Speaker 1: Then the government is shut down again and he's gonna
Speaker 1: get blamed for it, and in the meantime, we're wasting
Speaker 1: valuable times. So I would think the president is telegraphing
Speaker 1: I will add whatever I have to add, and I'm speculating.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't have any insider knowledge, as
Speaker 1: the press always seems to think I do. But in
Speaker 1: that case, he wins big time. One thing that is
Speaker 1: not political, it's smoking. That's about people, and there are
Speaker 1: thirty four million Americans now that's smoke, but for many
Speaker 1: there's not been a clear alternative. Jewel for me, has
Speaker 1: been a game changer. I watch people all the time.
Speaker 1: They go outside in the middle of the freezing winner
Speaker 1: just to have their smoke. You don't have to do
Speaker 1: that anymore because of Jewel. Now people don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about the smell on your hands. Jewel was specifically
Speaker 1: designed by smokers force smokers to be a satisfying alternative.
Speaker 1: It's a clean technology. Jewel has no ash, no odor,
Speaker 1: no mess. If you're one of those thirty four million
Speaker 1: adults who do smoke, you now know there's an alternative
Speaker 1: to cigarettes and cigars. Just go to Jewel ju u
Speaker 1: l dot com slash switch America. That's ju u l
Speaker 1: dot com slash switch America. Now this product does contain nicotine,
Speaker 1: and nicotine is an addictive chemical. But just go to
Speaker 1: Jewel ju uel dot com slash switch America. By the way,
Speaker 1: who is this? Uh? What? What band does that? Jason?
Speaker 1: That is? It's not a band. It's generic. It's it's
Speaker 1: a generic jumpin jack flash is now what that is? Yes,
Speaker 1: some of the songs may stuff you've heard, it really isn't.
Speaker 1: So it's mu Zach to get around the rules because
Speaker 1: he's exactly. And then apparently you're not allowed to play
Speaker 1: a lot thirty seconds that's it, only play thirty seconds
Speaker 1: of a song, or they charge you like an insane
Speaker 1: amount of money. You have to pay royalties, Yeah, like
Speaker 1: serious royalties, like big, big, big type, Like we had
Speaker 1: to get permission to do our Zach Brown Band and
Speaker 1: Florida Georgia Line and Big and Rich Charlie Daniels Friday
Speaker 1: concert series, and they were all happy to that we
Speaker 1: were playing their music. Now they'd want to charge people
Speaker 1: for playing their music. It's hilarious. I remember Bruce Hornsby
Speaker 1: once when I played the Way it Is. You got
Speaker 1: thirty seconds of that the start of that song. So
Speaker 1: Bluce Hornsby once whined and complained that I played his music.
Speaker 1: I always liked that was his best album, and he
Speaker 1: was actually really talented pianist and songwriter and even played
Speaker 1: with the Dead Grateful Dead for a period of time.
Speaker 1: I don't get why people musicians would not want people
Speaker 1: to hear their music, even if they're Yeah, but he
Speaker 1: was smart though. This is what he said is Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, I've heard people tell me all the time
Speaker 1: Hannity uses my music. I really don't want to get
Speaker 1: into a fight with the guy. That's what he said,
Speaker 1: which was pretty smart on his part. Oh we've stopped
Speaker 1: using it. But it's that particular just what Funny says,
Speaker 1: get a job. Great song, very liberal, and it's lyrics.
Speaker 1: Play the beginning of it, the piano part of it
Speaker 1: when it starts out, because that's a really good part.
Speaker 1: Bruce Hornsby in the range from the Way it Is,
Speaker 1: he's gonna hear about this, we go over thirty seconds,
Speaker 1: We're dead, Here comes the cease and desist. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: now listen to this is the music comes in He's
Speaker 1: got another great song called Mandolin Rain on this album,
Speaker 1: and every song on that album is actually really good. Right,
Speaker 1: that is a very very cool song. Hear that, Bruce
Speaker 1: Hornsby a very cool song. Free promote. You would think
Speaker 1: you'd take the free promotion, you know everyone. Everyone's so
Speaker 1: uptight about everything these days. I'm like, okay, do we
Speaker 1: have to talk, like for the Super Bowl for example,
Speaker 1: or football? I can't. Yeah, well, I don't want to
Speaker 1: watch football if I'm gonna watch guys taking a knee
Speaker 1: while the national anthem is being sung. This year, Oh,
Speaker 1: who did the y had? We had these um two
Speaker 1: young performers who were amazing and I think they did
Speaker 1: America the beautiful off my mind is working. Yeah, Colley
Speaker 1: and Halley, Chloe and Halley and then who did the national?
Speaker 1: It was, Oh, gladys night. It was amazing, wasn't it.
Speaker 1: It was so good. I ain't one of the best
Speaker 1: renditions I've ever heard, even better than Rosanne's. Definitely better
Speaker 1: than the halftime show I was. I was half watching it.
Speaker 1: I didn't care, you know, I'm like, really, Maroon five
Speaker 1: taken off your shirt? Oh, guy looked pretty fit. But
Speaker 1: you know, if I went up there and did it.
Speaker 1: Even though I work out five days a week, it's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a pretty sight. And I don't have
Speaker 1: those tattoos to cover up that, you know, literally shining
Speaker 1: Irish skin. You know, it would glow in the dark
Speaker 1: in that arena. And so oh it's beautiful. What a voice?
Speaker 1: The gws? No lip sinking here? What so cry? We
Speaker 1: better watch the thirty second clock, Night's Last clean? Who's cross? Right? So?
Speaker 1: I mean it's somebody that can sing like that, That
Speaker 1: is like a gift from heaven. I don't think you
Speaker 1: can teach somebody to sing like that. It's just and
Speaker 1: if I could, I'd come back and I'd want to
Speaker 1: be a singer. Love that Rascal Flats and my Buddy's
Speaker 1: Big and Rich and Garth Brooks and Kenny Chestsney and
Speaker 1: all those guys. I think it's pretty cool if you
Speaker 1: get to sing in front of eighty thousand people and
Speaker 1: these big stadiums like they fill all the time. Zach
Speaker 1: Brown was at what Chase Stadium was Great City Field.
Speaker 1: Though remember Billy Joel closed down the former Chase Stadium.
Speaker 1: Billy Joel has now a permanent home at Madison Square.
Speaker 1: Garden and I know, I think he does do other gigs,
Speaker 1: but he just does Madison Square Garden. He could sell
Speaker 1: out every single solitary night at Madison Square Garden and
Speaker 1: he loves It's like his home. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm going on next. We'll do two a month or
Speaker 1: one a month. I'll do three this month. Whatever sold
Speaker 1: out in minutes puts on one of the best shows.
Speaker 1: He's more down to earth than all of these other stars.
Speaker 1: And you think of that that he sells out all
Speaker 1: this stuff at Madison Square Garden and a snap so
Speaker 1: not far from where I live. He actually has a
Speaker 1: motorcycle shop and I've talked to him one day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was gonna get a Harley. But it was either
Speaker 1: the Harley or the house. You know, I'd have no
Speaker 1: I'd be homeless. I can sleep on my Harley, right,
Speaker 1: And he goes, no, No, they're garbage, don't get a Harley.
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, I gotta get a Harley. Oh stop
Speaker 1: it really do we have to do? We have to
Speaker 1: That's a traumatic moment of my life. And everybody was
Speaker 1: trying to be so nice and accommentating to me, um,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's just the dream that I had,
Speaker 1: and everyone says the same. You're gonna kill yourself? What
Speaker 1: do you have? You must have a death wish? You
Speaker 1: know what? They call it a donor cycle. I have
Speaker 1: surgeon friends, doctor friends. They call it donor cycles. I'm like, guys,
Speaker 1: I just want to write it on a Sunday morning. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, take it to the beach, watch the sunrise, right,
Speaker 1: don't even take it on the highway. Ride home slowly,
Speaker 1: no traffic. That's all I want to do. Not that.
Speaker 1: But I'm not. I'm not gonna join Hell's Angels or anything.
Speaker 1: Not that they would have me thought that I'd survive
Speaker 1: the even and even with my new ninja skills after
Speaker 1: six and a half years of training. All right, so,
Speaker 1: oh bay, there was one instance. So let me go
Speaker 1: back to the border deal. It's a horrible bill. Anyone
Speaker 1: that tells you otherwise they don't know what they're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's a horrible bill. Do I think the President may
Speaker 1: sign it to keep the government open and get a
Speaker 1: down payment of one point three five billion on the
Speaker 1: wall added to the nine hundred million that we know
Speaker 1: he has accessible to him. And yeah, but you know,
Speaker 1: I think this president is pretty transparent. When he says
Speaker 1: I will add whatever I have to add to me,
Speaker 1: he's telegraphing, Yeah, but I'm gonna declare national emergency. And
Speaker 1: to me, that strategy would be smart in this sense
Speaker 1: because then he has two point three billion on top
Speaker 1: of the money that he still has from this year remaining,
Speaker 1: and that means the wall keeps being built. As the
Speaker 1: Democrat judge shopping out in California, Oregon, wherever they go,
Speaker 1: that will end up in the Ninth Circuit. Ninth Circuit
Speaker 1: doesn't follow the rule of law. They write their own laws.
Speaker 1: That's why they go judge shopping there. And then I
Speaker 1: would think because of the nature of a national emergency
Speaker 1: and him being the commander in chief, you know, this
Speaker 1: is about separation of powers, his duty and responsibilities as
Speaker 1: commander in chief and USC. Two eighty four in the
Speaker 1: provisions that we've gone over in great detail, I think
Speaker 1: the president wins in the Supreme Court if they follow
Speaker 1: the law. All right, Now, we have some other things
Speaker 1: deep state news that I want to get to as
Speaker 1: well here and some of the prejudice of the socialist
Speaker 1: Democrats and how extreme they've gotten. All right, So we
Speaker 1: know that Devin Newness is going to be on tonight.
Speaker 1: Dems are now saying they don't have evidence of conclusion. Well,
Speaker 1: then why are there these endless investigations? We have to
Speaker 1: go back. I promise you it's some point. I am
Speaker 1: going to go back and flag every insane hysterical moment
Speaker 1: of reporting and every proclamation by the likes of Shifty Shift,
Speaker 1: the Liar, and all these other people, because if Senate
Speaker 1: Democrats are saying they don't have evidence a collusion, and
Speaker 1: the Senate Intelligence community saying as much, you know, but
Speaker 1: you know, we got to see what their report also says.
Speaker 1: And then we've got John Dowd on a tear I'll
Speaker 1: play it later in the program, I mean literally saying
Speaker 1: that the Mueller report is not going to show the
Speaker 1: public anything other than what they've done already. And he
Speaker 1: says he doesn't respect Mueller's investigation. I thought we were done.
Speaker 1: In March of twenty eighteen, he was afraid that the
Speaker 1: president would be forced into a perjury trap. He said
Speaker 1: he doesn't have respect for Rod Rosenstein. Remember he he's
Speaker 1: in this case up to his eyeballs. Had no business
Speaker 1: talk about conflicted out Well, he's the one that recommended
Speaker 1: the firing of Coomie number one, and he signed the
Speaker 1: fourth and final FISA warrant application, the third renewal, and
Speaker 1: he said, you know, I don't know what Sessions was doing.
Speaker 1: And then Dad said Mueller's investigation was a waste of time,
Speaker 1: one of the greatest frauds this country has ever seen.
Speaker 1: But there really was collusion which they ignored. And that's
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party now with the Senate now saying they
Speaker 1: have no evidence of any conspiracy between Trump campaign and Russia. Now,
Speaker 1: Devin Newness is coming on tonight and he now says
Speaker 1: that a cadre of House Intelligence Committee Republicans are now
Speaker 1: involved in sifting through more than a dozen transcripts as
Speaker 1: they are now planning on making criminal referrals for an
Speaker 1: investigation into the alleged political bias into the FBI. And
Speaker 1: he further goes on that the work comprised by himself
Speaker 1: and Bob Goodlat Trey Gaudy, we will be continuing our
Speaker 1: task force, and he said in an interview that we
Speaker 1: are now combing through the transcripts, will comb through and
Speaker 1: we'll be sending those recommendations to the Department of Justice,
Speaker 1: which they've got to investigate when the timing is appropriate,
Speaker 1: and they're still going to interview people. Now he's also
Speaker 1: talking about you know, there's another story out today where
Speaker 1: a new batch of FBI documents were obtained by Judicial Watch,
Speaker 1: and it shows top FBI officials offered to lie about
Speaker 1: the classified nature of email sent to and from Hillary Clinton,
Speaker 1: which was discovered on Anthony Wiener's laptop just days before
Speaker 1: the election. So they just got a new trove of
Speaker 1: documents turned over by the FBI, including discussions with former
Speaker 1: FBI lawyer to the Deputy Director McCabe, Lisa pages Back,
Speaker 1: concerning a potential quid pro quo between the State Department
Speaker 1: and the FBI in which the FBI would agree to
Speaker 1: downgrade on Hillary's behalf the classification level of a Clinton
Speaker 1: email exchange for more legal attache positions that would benefit
Speaker 1: the agency abroad. Wow. No indication that it ever took place. However,
Speaker 1: the documents reveal that Peter Struck, Page's boyfriend lied about
Speaker 1: the classified nature of Hillary's emails and that he discovered
Speaker 1: on Anthony Weiner's laptop just before the twenty sixteen election.
Speaker 1: Fox News reports many of the emails found on the
Speaker 1: computer were between Clinton and her senior adviser, Uma Aberdeen,
Speaker 1: who said she didn't know she had a private servant. Lie,
Speaker 1: when is she going to get the pre dawn raid?
Speaker 1: Now a strange wife, Wiener's a strange wife. Despite claims
Speaker 1: by top FBI officials, including Struck, several of those emails
Speaker 1: were determined to contain classified information. Well, that means too
Speaker 1: that Hillary broke the law and violated the Espionage Act.
Speaker 1: One email November six, twenty sixteen, before the election, Struck wrote,
Speaker 1: the FBI's leadership redacted, John and I completed our review
Speaker 1: of the potential Hillary Rodham Clinton work emails on Wiener's laptop.
Speaker 1: We found no previously unknown potentially classified emails on the media.
Speaker 1: Struck added that his team was coming to triple check
Speaker 1: his methodology and conclusions. However, at least eighteen classified emails
Speaker 1: were sent from Aberdeen's account were found by the FBI
Speaker 1: on Wiener's laptop. Despite Struck's apparent claim and abuse of
Speaker 1: power to once again clear Hillary Clinton to frame Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and we're going to have criminal referrals as it relates
Speaker 1: to FISA as well as they as the House Democrats
Speaker 1: now up what they're doing now earlier today, Intelligence national
Speaker 1: security correspondent for NBC News, Ken Billanian is that his
Speaker 1: name reported that somewhat breaking news on MSNBC that the
Speaker 1: Senate Intel Committee admits it found, after two years, no
Speaker 1: direct evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia. Now hard
Speaker 1: those words must have been for them to After two
Speaker 1: years of lying to the American people, after two years
Speaker 1: interviewing more than two hundred witnesses, the Senate Intel Committee
Speaker 1: has not uncovered any direct evidence of any conspiracy between
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign and Russia. That's according to sources on
Speaker 1: both the Democratic and Republican side of the aisle, And
Speaker 1: he noted the Republican chair of the committee made remarks
Speaker 1: to that effect last week the report. Now, by the way,
Speaker 1: you gotta it's pretty funny. Listen to the response on MBC.
Speaker 1: After two years and interviewing more than two hundred witnesses,
Speaker 1: the Senate Intelligence Committee has not uncovered any direct evidence
Speaker 1: of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia. That's
Speaker 1: according to sources on both the Republican and the Democratic
Speaker 1: side of the alley. And careful viewers and readers will
Speaker 1: note that Senator Richard Burt, the chairman of the Intelligence
Speaker 1: Committee who leaves this probe essentially said that in an
Speaker 1: interview with another network last week. But what I've been
Speaker 1: doing since then is checking with my sources on the
Speaker 1: Democratic side to understand the full context of his remarks,
Speaker 1: because that was essentially a partisan comment from from one side.
Speaker 1: But this is a bipartisan investigation, and what I found
Speaker 1: don't dispute that characterization. And by the way, the Democrats say,
Speaker 1: this report will not be good for Donald Trump. It
Speaker 1: will question the judgment of many people in the Trump
Speaker 1: were for having these meetings, were essentially allowing them to
Speaker 1: a meeting to be preyed upon by our Russian What
Speaker 1: are they going to go after Hillary's interfere in the
Speaker 1: election and to help Donald What are they gonna go
Speaker 1: after Hillary's support of Putin's thugs and the Uranium one
Speaker 1: deal with the one hundred and forty five million dollar kickback.
Speaker 1: What are they going to go after the violation of
Speaker 1: the Espionage Act or obstructure of justice? What are they
Speaker 1: going to go after the phony Russian dossier she paid
Speaker 1: for that was used as propaganda delie to the American
Speaker 1: people before the campaign and then used as the basis
Speaker 1: for a fizer warrant, so I can tell you that.
Speaker 1: Am I happy at first? Lance? I just got to
Speaker 1: see it. The answer is no, I'm not. I'm not happy.
Speaker 1: The bottom line is on the wall. We're building the wall,
Speaker 1: and we're using other methods other than this. And in
Speaker 1: addition to this, we have a lot of things going.
Speaker 1: We have a lot of money in this country, and
Speaker 1: we're using some of that money, a small percentage of
Speaker 1: that money to build the wall, which we desperately need.
Speaker 1: Where do these people come from? Where do they come?
Speaker 1: They go back home to mommy, They get punished when
Speaker 1: they get home. Now you really mean finished that wall?
Speaker 1: Because we've built a lot of the spinies. This weekend,
Speaker 1: some Democrats even proposed a measure that would force the
Speaker 1: release of thousands of criminal illegal aliens, including dangerous felons
Speaker 1: convicted of rape, sex, traffic in violet assault, and even
Speaker 1: murder into our country. Can you believe this? Their proposal
Speaker 1: would put a hard cap on the number of illegal
Speaker 1: aliens that are brave ice officers, we love our ice
Speaker 1: officers can detain and thus remove, forcing thousands of criminals
Speaker 1: to be set free into United States communities. I don't
Speaker 1: think so, okay, I don't think so. All right, hour too,
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. That was the president big speech in
Speaker 1: El Paso last night, as uh, he's now. I've spoke
Speaker 1: to my sources at the White House. They have not
Speaker 1: gotten this. This, I guarantee you as a horrible bill.
Speaker 1: You know. The number one Democrats you know, now they're okay,
Speaker 1: a measily one point three billion, okay, fifty five miles
Speaker 1: will take it, but they don't want to give the
Speaker 1: president any win whatsoever. Now, the dilemma for the President
Speaker 1: is going to be, well, does he take the one
Speaker 1: point three and maybe simultaneously or maybe he can't do
Speaker 1: it before or immediately thereafter declare the national emergency. Well,
Speaker 1: that means he definitely has the one point three and
Speaker 1: the emergency. That gives us time to work through the courts.
Speaker 1: But because it's an emergency, it should be expedited. You know.
Speaker 1: And what a what a statement that would make. I
Speaker 1: know most of you are looking at this deal saying
Speaker 1: his president can't sign this deal period. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: typical horrible Washington DC swamp sewer deal among establishment figures
Speaker 1: that are out of touch with what the American people
Speaker 1: are screaming that they want, which is to end the
Speaker 1: drug importation, to end the human trafficking, to vet people
Speaker 1: before they get there, to stop the cartels, stop the
Speaker 1: drug dealers, and keep Americans safe. Because the crime statistics
Speaker 1: of the two percent that have access to the our borders,
Speaker 1: like the ninety eight percent that you know, our otherwise
Speaker 1: want a better life for themselves and their kids, has
Speaker 1: been devastating. Four thousand homicides, murders, you've got ten thousand
Speaker 1: sexual assaults in two years, thirty thousand, rather than one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand violent assault incidents with illegal immigrants. Well, at
Speaker 1: that point, it's an emergency. If ninety percent of our
Speaker 1: heroin comes across that southern border, well that too is
Speaker 1: an emergency. All right, Joining us now to debate discuss
Speaker 1: House Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows from North Carolina and
Speaker 1: House Freedom Caucus member former chairman he's been dethroned. Jim
Speaker 1: Jordan is with us, you know, so I'm looking at look,
Speaker 1: maybe you guys have have more insight than to what
Speaker 1: I'm actually reading here. The fact that they were even
Speaker 1: debating limiting the number of beds for illegal immigrant criminals,
Speaker 1: I mean, is beyond the pale to me, you know,
Speaker 1: if you were sixteen thousand, five hundred one and you
Speaker 1: just committed murder, Basically, they were saying you couldn't detain
Speaker 1: that person. But what are you? What's your overall impression
Speaker 1: of the deal? I think knowing you both, you probably
Speaker 1: like me, you think it's atrocious and a swamp deal.
Speaker 1: Glenn Mark Mark Well Sean, let me let me just
Speaker 1: tell you, not only is it an atrocious deal, but
Speaker 1: it is a total capitulation. I'm at the point where
Speaker 1: you look at this and yes, the President may end
Speaker 1: up signing it to keep the government open, but he
Speaker 1: better make it very clear that he is not in
Speaker 1: favor of this. You only get what you reward, and
Speaker 1: he is about to reward Congress for not doing his
Speaker 1: job and continuing to do things the way they've always done.
Speaker 1: Only in Washington, d C. Sean, think about this. Only
Speaker 1: in Washington, d C. Can you expect applause for passing
Speaker 1: a one point three seven billion dollar border security measure
Speaker 1: when it takes twenty five billion to get it done.
Speaker 1: Let me say this, what if the president signed the
Speaker 1: bill kept the government open, because then we don't have
Speaker 1: to go through you know, another thirty five days of
Speaker 1: Democrats pretending like they care about furloughed employees when they
Speaker 1: won't even sit at the table and negotiate. He takes
Speaker 1: to one point three five of the deal for the
Speaker 1: border and then simultaneously declaire is a national emergency for
Speaker 1: the rest of the money. Well, he said he should
Speaker 1: definitely declare the national emergency. I think I think there
Speaker 1: was a couple takeaways I had. First, server was the irony.
Speaker 1: At the same time, the President's given this great speech
Speaker 1: in al Passo, Congress is putting together a bad deal
Speaker 1: in Washington. It is a bad deal. There's no iffans
Speaker 1: butts about it. But you may be right. He may
Speaker 1: end up signing and say, look, it's a bad deal,
Speaker 1: but I'm going to pocket the money, and I'm going
Speaker 1: to declare the national emergency, and we're gonna go down
Speaker 1: that route because we know just what you said earlier, son,
Speaker 1: We know the drug problem, what the President said last night,
Speaker 1: the drug problem, the gang problem, the human trafficking problem.
Speaker 1: It is a national emergency. I'm going to start down
Speaker 1: that road and we're gonna we're gonna get this done
Speaker 1: no matter what. Okay, Now, in that sense, you know
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen. The media, the Hey Trump media, and
Speaker 1: the Democrats at that point, they're gonna realize that he
Speaker 1: outplayed them, that he got money up front, and then
Speaker 1: he's going for the rest on his own, like he
Speaker 1: said he would do. Now, well, yeah, they will see that,
Speaker 1: but they'll fight it in core. And this president was
Speaker 1: willing to fight back. Jim and I have been talking
Speaker 1: about that, even as recent is just a thirty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: The President is a fighter and he's going to fight.
Speaker 1: But here's the one area, and I very seldom disagree
Speaker 1: with you, Sean Hannity, but here's where I disagree with
Speaker 1: you today. I think the President should declare the national
Speaker 1: emergency to day, to heck with waiting for the bill
Speaker 1: to be signed, to heck with with with this whole process.
Speaker 1: There is nothing that precludes him from doing it today.
Speaker 1: If this is the best they're going to offer, let
Speaker 1: him declare it today. He can. Why why not? Why
Speaker 1: not take the one point three five and then declare
Speaker 1: the emergency. Then he's got money to work with while
Speaker 1: he's fighting it out in the courts. It's not like
Speaker 1: they can spend it all in a month or two anyway. Well,
Speaker 1: that's an option. In other words, because you know the
Speaker 1: Democrats will done do they'll pull the one point three
Speaker 1: five off the bill. Well, but if we did a
Speaker 1: continuing resolution, you'd have one point three to six billion. Anyways, Sean,
Speaker 1: and see here's the that's a good way to do
Speaker 1: it too. I'm listen, I'm all of us agree. This
Speaker 1: is garbage? Is this? I mean? And if if any
Speaker 1: if there's any Democrat out there that thinks that the
Speaker 1: President is not going to declare a national emergency, they
Speaker 1: are dreaming and so he's going to do it, So
Speaker 1: he might as well go ahead and do it today.
Speaker 1: Let them put up their you know, protest today. They
Speaker 1: need to go ahead. And the American people need to
Speaker 1: see that this president is serious about building the wall.
Speaker 1: You and I and Jim knows that he is. But
Speaker 1: it is important that he goes ahead and acts on Sean.
Speaker 1: Here's the other thing that's bill underscores just how radical
Speaker 1: the left has become to reduce the number of detention
Speaker 1: bets for criminals, for people who do harmy violent people. Potentially,
Speaker 1: this is how open borders, seventy percent, marginal tax rate,
Speaker 1: Green new deal. They won't stand up when the President
Speaker 1: talks about the sactity of life. They won't stand up
Speaker 1: when he talks about capitalism and condemn socialism. And now
Speaker 1: they want to reduce the number of detension bet so
Speaker 1: that in and of itself shows how ridiculous this legislation is.
Speaker 1: But the president is he's going to get this wall
Speaker 1: come heck or high water. He's going to make it happen.
Speaker 1: And it's the sooner he can declare this national emergency,
Speaker 1: in my judgment, the better. Now. Yeah, look, I think
Speaker 1: that at the end of the day, I think it's
Speaker 1: a good deal for the president just to do it alone.
Speaker 1: If he does this alone, then I think the president
Speaker 1: is doing much much better, and that shows his commitment
Speaker 1: as tenacity. Now, there is this other pot of money
Speaker 1: that the president has available to him. We've all been
Speaker 1: talking about it, some nine hundred million dollars that he
Speaker 1: can also reallocate to the wall immediately too. Isn't that
Speaker 1: part of the deal. Yeah, sure, as sean, and he
Speaker 1: can access that under the two eighty four two seventy four,
Speaker 1: not using the national emergency, but he can he can
Speaker 1: allocate that or go get that money, use it for
Speaker 1: enhanced fencing and everything else on the border he should do.
Speaker 1: My approach is all the above, do that, declare the
Speaker 1: national do everything he can to simply do what we
Speaker 1: told American people are going to do and build the
Speaker 1: border security wall. All right, So in that sense, Mark Meadows,
Speaker 1: the president is keeping his promise, regardless of what a
Speaker 1: crappy swamp deal this ends up being. And again he
Speaker 1: doesn't want to be blamed for shutting down the government.
Speaker 1: Seventy two percent of the American people supported his plans,
Speaker 1: according to CBS on immigration, so they'll see him acting decisively.
Speaker 1: And why do I believe if you use you know
Speaker 1: us C. Two eight four, which I know both of
Speaker 1: you are familiar with, the language is clear, especially on
Speaker 1: the issue of drug interdiction, that the president has the
Speaker 1: right to build barriers on our southern border with the military. Well,
Speaker 1: you're exactly right, Sean, and listen, you and I and
Speaker 1: Jim Jordan all believe that this president is serious. And
Speaker 1: as Jim was saying, he's going to build it one
Speaker 1: way or another. But it's where is the money going
Speaker 1: to come from? And I do believe that the nine
Speaker 1: hundred billion or so that he could get from one
Speaker 1: of the executive tools in his toolbox gets as part
Speaker 1: of the way the national emergency. And I guess if
Speaker 1: if I were advising him, I would say, use one
Speaker 1: of the sections of law that doesn't require a national
Speaker 1: emergency today past the rest of the bill that is
Speaker 1: put before you, and then declare a national emergency at
Speaker 1: the end of that. Have all of that there. But
Speaker 1: as Jim was saying, there's two or three different options
Speaker 1: he can use. Use them all, Use them all right.
Speaker 1: I gotta take a quick break more with Congressman Mark Meadows,
Speaker 1: Chairman of the Freedom Caucus, and former Chairman Jim Jordan.
Speaker 1: As we continue. We got a lot more coming up
Speaker 1: later in the program today. Eight hundred and nine for one,
Speaker 1: Shawn is our number. I'll battle it out. Manoamano, Geraldo Rivera,
Speaker 1: one of my best buddies, coming up next. All right,
Speaker 1: as we continue with the Chairman of the Freedom Caucus,
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows, and also Congressman Jim Jordan. So, Jim Jorge.
Speaker 1: Even though the bill is bad on the border, particularly,
Speaker 1: which is what we care about, if the President couples
Speaker 1: that with the nine hundred million that we all know
Speaker 1: is available at his disposal any time, which he will
Speaker 1: use now and again he said last night, this is
Speaker 1: about now finishing the wall. Then he declares a national
Speaker 1: emergency for the rest. That sounds like okay, it might
Speaker 1: take a few extra months. Battle in the courts. I
Speaker 1: think he wins in the Supreme Court because the Left
Speaker 1: will go judge shopping, probably to the Ninth Circuit. Okay,
Speaker 1: goes to the Ninth Circuit, which gets overturned eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the time. Anyway, makes it to the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: I don't think the Supreme Court can ignore that issue,
Speaker 1: do you? I don't. I mean, you never know what's
Speaker 1: course going to do, but I don't understand there'll be
Speaker 1: a few steps along that path. So if in fact
Speaker 1: he declares the national emergency, I think Polosi, Speaker Polosy
Speaker 1: will do some motion of disapproval, resolution disapproval that will
Speaker 1: pass the House. The Senate's likely do something as well.
Speaker 1: The President detos that there's a veto override attempt. We
Speaker 1: won't of course a vote with the president. There won't
Speaker 1: be the boast to override either, so it's going to
Speaker 1: be a long drawn out process legislatively. Then, as you write, well,
Speaker 1: that's it. But if he would you be upset if
Speaker 1: he signed the bad bill to get the one three immediately,
Speaker 1: to add to the nine hundred million and declare the emergency. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's where it might end up. We don't
Speaker 1: like to buildup. We're just like Yu Sean. We think
Speaker 1: it's a bad bill. We would rather seem declare the
Speaker 1: national emergency and do a short term cr and see
Speaker 1: if we can get something better. Probably can't, so he
Speaker 1: may go ahead and sign and say, look, it's a
Speaker 1: bad bill. I'm abruptantly going to sign this, and then
Speaker 1: we're going to do everything else that I can use
Speaker 1: under two baby four and under the national emergency. Well,
Speaker 1: the truth is he's never with this this Congress, these
Speaker 1: radical Democrats, He's never gonna get the money he wants
Speaker 1: because probably right, they've proven that they hate Trump more
Speaker 1: than they care about furloughed workers or DACA or dreamers.
Speaker 1: They're more about stopping the president than they are about
Speaker 1: helping the country, and that's the fundamental problem we face.
Speaker 1: So in that climate, you are probably right, he's probably
Speaker 1: going to have to reluctantly sign this bad legislation and
Speaker 1: then do everything else we've talked about. Last word, uh
Speaker 1: Mark Meadows yeah, and so Sean, Jim's right here. Here's
Speaker 1: here's the only problem that I see with signing this deal.
Speaker 1: And I do believe the President's going to sign it,
Speaker 1: and I'm not going to beat him up over that
Speaker 1: because I know that he is serious about a national emergency.
Speaker 1: Here's the problem. It reinforces bad behavior that continues to
Speaker 1: happen decade after decade on Congress. Now that I that
Speaker 1: I agree with. But again, it gives him the money
Speaker 1: in the interim to keep fighting and building while he's
Speaker 1: fighting the emergency issue. That is correct, and a continuing
Speaker 1: resolution would do the same. But you're you're right, listen,
Speaker 1: it's it's a tactical call. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: I fully believe that he signs this deal and the
Speaker 1: jury will be out as long as he continues through
Speaker 1: with with executive action. I think the vast majority of
Speaker 1: Americans will applaud his efforts for fighting on their behalf.
Speaker 1: All right, I appreciate it, guys, thank you very much.
Speaker 1: Without the Free by the way, without the Freedom Caucus,
Speaker 1: we're totally screwed in Congress, totally. These guys are the
Speaker 1: only ones that fight every day for their promises and
Speaker 1: for the President and for his agenda, and all these
Speaker 1: other people are so pathetically weak it's embarrassing. And I
Speaker 1: don't even know how the way they live with themselves.
Speaker 1: Half these guys, Oh yeah, we'll repeal ever replaced Obamacare.
Speaker 1: Where were you when you were needed? It's easy to
Speaker 1: vote when it's never gonna pass twenty five now till
Speaker 1: the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine for
Speaker 1: one sean if you want to be a part of
Speaker 1: the program. All right, So Alexandria Acasio Cortez and her
Speaker 1: new Green Deal for America, you know, the one where
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to rebuild every house and building in
Speaker 1: ten years, and we're gonna get rid of all fossil fuels,
Speaker 1: will no longer have the combustion engine, in other words,
Speaker 1: an engine that runs on gas. We'll have no natural gas,
Speaker 1: as we've got only only clean and renewable energy, no
Speaker 1: nuclear energy. Even we're going to do this all in
Speaker 1: ten years, destroy the economy in the process. Add to that, okay,
Speaker 1: we have Kamala Harris, Kirsten gillibrand Bernie Sanders Medicare for all,
Speaker 1: which means, and they've said it, we got to get
Speaker 1: rid of all private health insurance for every American that
Speaker 1: now has it. Well, that happens to be one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty seven million Americans. And what happens when that fails,
Speaker 1: Just like Obamacare failed, Keep your doctor, keep your plan,
Speaker 1: and save money. None of those promises were kept at all.
Speaker 1: And or the wealth tax of Elizabeth Warren, which after
Speaker 1: you paid your sixty sixty five cents of every dollar
Speaker 1: to the government, state, local, federal, well, then if you
Speaker 1: save too much, she's going to come in and take
Speaker 1: even more. In other words, they'll legalize stealing your money
Speaker 1: that you put in the bank. And by the way,
Speaker 1: when you die, another forty percent goes to the federal government.
Speaker 1: You live in a state like New York, another ten
Speaker 1: percent goes to the state, and they take another bite
Speaker 1: at the apple, and you pay to die in America.
Speaker 1: This is oh and the seventy to ninety percent tax
Speaker 1: bracket that Acasio Cortez and many of these twenty twenty
Speaker 1: candidates are now pushing for all right, joining us now,
Speaker 1: Haraldo Rivera, Haraldo, I'm calling this the new radical extreme,
Speaker 1: a party that believes in abortion even during the birthing process,
Speaker 1: and in the case of the Virginia governor. After the
Speaker 1: baby's delivered and kept comfortable, then the mother can decide
Speaker 1: not to resuscitate. Um the party of that, the party
Speaker 1: of almost full confiscation of income, the party that guarantees
Speaker 1: everything from cradle to grave, that doesn't want secure borders,
Speaker 1: that doesn't seem to care about crime in America. This
Speaker 1: is this is you know, the new Democratic Party. Welcome aboard.
Speaker 1: Yeah really, at least they don't say abortion up to
Speaker 1: age five or ten. I'm just your blessing. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 1: maybe they'd go right up to my birthday to trust me.
Speaker 1: Yeah right, you. I just want to say, first of all,
Speaker 1: that you were brilliant last night. I your rage was
Speaker 1: so pure when you heard that there was a deal
Speaker 1: in the offing for the wall, that the President appeared
Speaker 1: to be on the on the verge of accepting far
Speaker 1: less money than he had asked for. I thought that you.
Speaker 1: Your pure rage is one of the reasons I love
Speaker 1: you as a brother. Yeah. You know, you have deep
Speaker 1: rooted sincere convictions, and you don't make any bones about
Speaker 1: expressing me. Listen, if the President signed this deal and
Speaker 1: declares the national emergency, I could live with that because
Speaker 1: he's getting one point three five million billion billion dollars
Speaker 1: up front. Now, if he does that and he doesn't
Speaker 1: declare a national emergency, then the president, you know, got
Speaker 1: caught up in the swamp and we'll have gotten rolled.
Speaker 1: And I don't expect him to do that. I think
Speaker 1: the President's going to full as promise. I I see.
Speaker 1: I think the President will find a way to fulfill
Speaker 1: a promise, get get fit to that bottom line. But
Speaker 1: by taking this uh, this deal, the Democrats lose the
Speaker 1: high ground. Remember they were saying it was a moralist,
Speaker 1: the wall is a moralist. Is not a dollar for
Speaker 1: the wall. When they said one point four billion, then
Speaker 1: it became a negotiation. Now it's not a moralist anymore.
Speaker 1: Now it's a negotiation, and I think Trump wins regardless
Speaker 1: of what the other aspect of the of the wall
Speaker 1: building will be, where it will come from. I leave
Speaker 1: that in the open as to your your main topic
Speaker 1: this afternoon about Alexandria Coscio Cortez and the Green New
Speaker 1: Deal and these flamboyant ideas, these are wish lists, these
Speaker 1: are you know, then they shouldn't be as frightening to
Speaker 1: conservatives or to moderates as uh as sometimes they they
Speaker 1: may sound at first plush. These are just you know,
Speaker 1: young people filled with verve and uh spontaneity and and
Speaker 1: uh compare ashon uh you know, you want you want
Speaker 1: people at the you know, with that are coming in
Speaker 1: the rookies who are coming in to have that that
Speaker 1: kind of uh, you know energy. Let's do this, Let's
Speaker 1: get a rid of nuclear power. Let's do this, Let's
Speaker 1: get rid of and then you know, the the sober
Speaker 1: reality dawns on them after they've been around a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and a couple of committees and they see,
Speaker 1: you know, well, what's going to make the electricity go?
Speaker 1: How are you going to pay for the tunnel to
Speaker 1: uh to Africa? Uh? You know, I think that I
Speaker 1: applaud that that freshness, and I encourage rather than discourage
Speaker 1: the uh, the the thinking that is so cosbic. Short. Well,
Speaker 1: I listen, I think that this this is what Republicans
Speaker 1: don't even understand. And I blame them even more than
Speaker 1: the Democrats, although the Democrats have now gone so radical
Speaker 1: left extreme, uh you know, even the party now they're
Speaker 1: they're they're they're not even critical of people like they
Speaker 1: were have an awe that are charged with serious sexual
Speaker 1: assault and even rape allegations. I don't hear anybody screaming
Speaker 1: I believe or saying I believe. And look at the
Speaker 1: anti semitism now some members of Congress. You said, ken,
Speaker 1: I think you meant Fairfax, right, yeah, yeah, Well you
Speaker 1: don't see the Yeah, you don't seem the same outrage
Speaker 1: over Fairfax like you saw with Kavanaugh. Thank you for
Speaker 1: helping me, but and the same with you know, look
Speaker 1: at the rampant anti semitism that is now, that that
Speaker 1: ugly strain of democrat is sort of saying things with immunity,
Speaker 1: and they ought to be rebuked and taken off any
Speaker 1: Foreign Affairs committee, and they're so timid to do it,
Speaker 1: where if it was a Republican they would be excoriated
Speaker 1: and bludgeoned to death. See. I see even that a
Speaker 1: little differently than you do, my brother. I see the
Speaker 1: fact that you have two Muslim women in Congress now,
Speaker 1: one is a Palestinian origin, the other Somali origin. You
Speaker 1: get their take? Why not get their take? You know?
Speaker 1: I think that the the the Minnesota congresswoman in her
Speaker 1: characterization of the Israeli lobby was way clumsy and uh
Speaker 1: and awkward, and she's apologized, but there is no doubt
Speaker 1: and you know it in your heart that there's two
Speaker 1: big stories to tell in the Middle East between Israel
Speaker 1: and Palestine. And you know, the United States official policy
Speaker 1: is still a two state solution, and it's good to
Speaker 1: remind people of that once in a while. I know,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about we're talking about rampant anti Semitism.
Speaker 1: I mean, when you say that Jews are all about money,
Speaker 1: that's anti Semitic. Yeah, when you say that that Israel
Speaker 1: is unfair to the Palestinians, or is I is occupying
Speaker 1: these people and denying them their rights, that's not that's
Speaker 1: not radical. That's that's something I think we need to
Speaker 1: hear more of. Well. I think when you look at,
Speaker 1: for example, Congresswoman on mars Apac tweet, which you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's terrible, it's terrible, it's like so dumb. It's like,
Speaker 1: it's not dumb, it's it is. It is anti Semitism,
Speaker 1: I mean, and it is. It's definitely anti Semitism. That's
Speaker 1: why it's dumb. And she gets a slap on the
Speaker 1: wrist for all of this, and nothing happened I think
Speaker 1: and look at she's been really diminished. Congresswoman Talib writes
Speaker 1: a column for Lewis Farrakon's publication a few years back,
Speaker 1: and she's going to impeach the mffer. Also, you know,
Speaker 1: it's uh, but let let them be that, Let the
Speaker 1: Democrats be that, and let the president, on the other hand,
Speaker 1: be the sober conciliator. Uh, you know, you know, stop
Speaker 1: being tempestuous, coat, cool it with the tweets. He'll be
Speaker 1: the grown up in the room. You'll back him from
Speaker 1: the right. I'll back him from the center. Uh, you know.
Speaker 1: And then I love you how I love how you
Speaker 1: put yourself in the center. You know, I put you
Speaker 1: more left center. But you know, all right, all right whatever,
Speaker 1: it's okay, But what do you make of what I
Speaker 1: think between the two of us, we could take care
Speaker 1: of this guy. Look how insane Nicasio Cortez's new Green
Speaker 1: Deal is green new deal. Um. If you ask your kids,
Speaker 1: even conservative students, they hear the stuff all the time.
Speaker 1: They hear uh, you know, uh, guaranteed national income. Uh.
Speaker 1: They hear abolish fossil fuel. They hear it, they discuss it.
Speaker 1: It's exciting, and then they get they wake up the
Speaker 1: next day and say pass me the kerosene lantern. I
Speaker 1: can't see you know. It's uh yeah, but we're gonna
Speaker 1: get rid of airplanes in ten years. How how are
Speaker 1: we going to get to Europe? How are we gonna
Speaker 1: get to Australia the fast You're gonna take the fast train? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's only what is it? It's only what four thousand
Speaker 1: miles of water? You have to time listen, it's not
Speaker 1: the tunnel under I thought they'd come up with a
Speaker 1: system above water so we'd have a view, um, and
Speaker 1: we'll the levitate us levitt Yeah. I can't wait for
Speaker 1: the high speed train to Australia. That that'll take us
Speaker 1: a few centuries together there. You know, I live in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: As train takes a day and a half. I could
Speaker 1: use a little high speed. I love it, you know.
Speaker 1: It's it's looks all of this, and here we are
Speaker 1: on the verge. We're now energy independent. We produce more
Speaker 1: oil natural gas than any other country on the Earth,
Speaker 1: and our resources are more vast. We are we are
Speaker 1: the Middle East of natural gas. It's great for our
Speaker 1: national security and as much as you know, we don't
Speaker 1: have to engage in foreign conflicts for the free flow
Speaker 1: of oil at market prices any longer because we're energy independent.
Speaker 1: And number two, there are literally hundreds and hundreds of
Speaker 1: thousands of high paying jobs headed down the pipeline, literally
Speaker 1: as two pipelines are being built. But that means we're
Speaker 1: gonna have great career jobs for many Americans that need
Speaker 1: them that will change and alter their lives dramatically. Remember
Speaker 1: North Dakota truck drivers being trained to making one hundred
Speaker 1: grand a year. Those are good jobs. Why not have
Speaker 1: a Republican real new deal. Yeah, that's it out what
Speaker 1: you just mentioned North Dakota and the expanding job opportunities there.
Speaker 1: Talk about different uses of natural gas, talk about nuclear
Speaker 1: energy and the renaissance that that could bring and not
Speaker 1: add a single degree to global warming or climate change.
Speaker 1: Let's give you know, like our thinkers put them to
Speaker 1: work with a pragmatic approach with that still has an idealistic,
Speaker 1: visionary kind of take to it. Then when the President
Speaker 1: talks about the space was let me talk about space,
Speaker 1: let me talk about Mars and beyond. Get the imagination
Speaker 1: of the young folks rather than letting the Democrats come
Speaker 1: up with all the ideas however, flamboyant and exaggerated. Why
Speaker 1: don't we have some of our thinkers being more in
Speaker 1: I think the I think the president is a doer.
Speaker 1: And the whole thing is, we have two pipelines now
Speaker 1: that we're never going to be built under any democratic president.
Speaker 1: They're now online, and that includes the Keystone and the
Speaker 1: Coda pipeline. And he opened up an moir, and he's
Speaker 1: gotten rid of all the burdensome regulation that has been
Speaker 1: holding back the energy sector. And I got to be honest,
Speaker 1: I think this is you know, of renaissance economically for
Speaker 1: this country, and it also protects our national security. And
Speaker 1: as we export more energy, the lifeblood of every economy, well,
Speaker 1: at that point we'll be helping keep the world safer
Speaker 1: and less dependent on foreign dictatorships or people that hate
Speaker 1: us for energy. All true, And you sounded just like
Speaker 1: Trump in the State of the Union. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the winning formula, practical, you know, open minded, you know,
Speaker 1: celebrate his achievements, talk about the economy every other sentence,
Speaker 1: talk about how the rising tide is lifting all boats.
Speaker 1: You know, we have a very good case to make
Speaker 1: on the substance of a put aside the personalities coming
Speaker 1: into twenty twenty. You know that kind of measure positive, optimistic,
Speaker 1: we're all in this together, we can do this. You know,
Speaker 1: I would deploy that, and I think that with Seine
Speaker 1: now our buddy in the you know, in the communications
Speaker 1: department there, you know, get to get that message out
Speaker 1: and not the creepy you know, well, she's a comedy
Speaker 1: and this one's of this and that. You know, I
Speaker 1: love that guy I saw in the House chamber that's
Speaker 1: the president for twenty twenty. I agree with you. All right,
Speaker 1: quick break, we'll come back more with my friend ERLDO
Speaker 1: Rivera on the other side. Eight hundred nine for one, Seawn.
Speaker 1: If you want to be a part of the program,
Speaker 1: News round Up, Information Overload coming in just minutes, you know, listen.
Speaker 1: If you use public WiFi, um, the answer to that
Speaker 1: problem is right there in the name public. You connect
Speaker 1: publicly to Wi Fi, even if it's password protected, you
Speaker 1: could be tossing all of your expectations of privacy right
Speaker 1: out the window. Why because whenever you're in public, cyber
Speaker 1: criminals they can use the WiFi and steal the personal
Speaker 1: information that you send and receive while you are online.
Speaker 1: Other words, they'll see information like private photos, financial statements,
Speaker 1: tax returns which have your Social Security number. Now there
Speaker 1: is a way to use public Wi Fi privately, and
Speaker 1: that is to get all right, as we continue, Haraldo
Speaker 1: or Vera is with us? Did you watch last night?
Speaker 1: I thought the president was dead on last night and
Speaker 1: having a lot of fun doing it. But I thought
Speaker 1: that you had the most fun. But I think he
Speaker 1: did have a lot of fun, and he loved comparing
Speaker 1: Israeli to to Patos. The Patos got a great name.
Speaker 1: I love that line. I call him Bozo. You know
Speaker 1: you would well, I mean, you know, but you look
Speaker 1: at the the nutty you know, transfer of wealth. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at what eliminating healthcare, nationalizing energy and the healthcare industry.
Speaker 1: Meticare for all, free housing for all, now all for free,
Speaker 1: college for all, healthy food for all, cradles a grave
Speaker 1: womb to the tomb that destroys America's ingenuity and wealth
Speaker 1: that is second to none in the world. Look, you know,
Speaker 1: liberals get mad when I say this, but I spent
Speaker 1: years of my life really without any money, struggling as
Speaker 1: a contractor and you know living, you know, paycheck to
Speaker 1: paycheck if you will for a pretty long period of time.
Speaker 1: It's not fun. No, you brush over your bartender years. Well,
Speaker 1: I was making that we're doing now. I listen. I
Speaker 1: admit I would tend bar until four in the morning
Speaker 1: and close the bar when I was in eleventh grade.
Speaker 1: Then I decide go to a diner, eat breakfast, read
Speaker 1: the newspaper, and decide to go home or go to school.
Speaker 1: And then you'd phone into took radio and raise hell.
Speaker 1: I phone into talk radio and raise hell and say
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that Horaldo guy. All right,
Speaker 1: Horaldo Rivera, thanks for being with US News round Up
Speaker 1: Information Overload his next eight hundred nine for one Sean
Speaker 1: told free telephone number. So I can tell you that
Speaker 1: am I happy at first? Lance? I just got to
Speaker 1: see it. The answer is no, I'm not. I'm not happy,
Speaker 1: but am I happy with where we're going. I'm thrilled.
Speaker 1: I don't think you're going to see a shutdown. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't want to go to it now if you did
Speaker 1: have it. It's a Democrat's fault. And I accepted the
Speaker 1: first one. And I'm proud of what we've accomplished because
Speaker 1: people learned during that shutdown all about the problems coming
Speaker 1: in from the southern border. I accept, I've always accepted it,
Speaker 1: but this one I would never accept if it happens.
Speaker 1: But I don't think it's going to happen. But this
Speaker 1: would be totally of the Democrats. Okay, said that, because
Speaker 1: I'm reminded that you make grudgingly accepted and the new bot.
Speaker 1: It's always nice to negotiate a little bit, right, so
Speaker 1: you know, whatever you get. But I would hope that
Speaker 1: there won't be a shutdown. I am extremely unhappy with
Speaker 1: what the Democrats have given us. It's sad. It's said
Speaker 1: they're doing the country no favor. They are hurting our
Speaker 1: country very badly. But we certainly don't want to see
Speaker 1: a shutdown. But you'll be hearing fairly soon. The bottom
Speaker 1: line is on the wall. We're building the wall, and
Speaker 1: we're using other methods other than this. And in addition
Speaker 1: to this, we have a lot of things going. We
Speaker 1: have a lot of money in this country, and we're
Speaker 1: using some of that money, a small percentage of that
Speaker 1: money to build the wall, which we desperately need. All right,
Speaker 1: That was the President, of course earlier today. What I
Speaker 1: would describe as an atrocious basically a sewer swamp typical
Speaker 1: Washington deal. Remember, you know, one interesting point is the
Speaker 1: Democrats were arguing that walls are immoral, and they're only
Speaker 1: going to give the president a dollar. Now we're up
Speaker 1: to one point three five, but it certainly is not
Speaker 1: enough for the President to get the job done. Now,
Speaker 1: there's the other nine hundred million that the president has
Speaker 1: available to him to fund the wall and other things
Speaker 1: associated with securing the border. But we're joined by Lindsay Graham.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you agree with me. I think
Speaker 1: this deal is atrocious. But if the President took the
Speaker 1: money from this deal then simultaneously declared a national emergency
Speaker 1: that would at least hold him over for a little
Speaker 1: while as he's fighting his way through the courts, which
Speaker 1: I think would be expedited because of the emergency aspect
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, I think you pretty much nailed it there.
Speaker 1: So the one thing about the deal I'm not sure
Speaker 1: about that would make it a horrible deal is if
Speaker 1: he's required to reduce bed spaces for violent criminals. I
Speaker 1: was told a couple hours ago that under the deal,
Speaker 1: the President can reprogram seven hundred and fifty million dollars
Speaker 1: to add additional bed spaces for violent offenders, that the
Speaker 1: forty thousand cap on bedspaces does not include the seven
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty million dollars he can use at his discretion,
Speaker 1: which in theory could allow him to go up to
Speaker 1: fifty eight thousand in bed spaces he asked for two.
Speaker 1: So if that reprogramming is available to the president, that
Speaker 1: alleviates my concern about reducing bad spaces for valent offenders. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but you agree with me. This is not a good deal.
Speaker 1: This is that's not a serious way short of what
Speaker 1: we need. Absolutely. So Look, I think I know the
Speaker 1: President extremely well. I've known him for over a couple
Speaker 1: of decades, and we saw him last night, how passionate
Speaker 1: he was. Um I would think that he's looking at
Speaker 1: one point three to five million and saying, Okay, you
Speaker 1: guys are not serious. But if he took that money
Speaker 1: as a down payment and simultaneously declared the National Emergency
Speaker 1: or USC two eighty four, which clearly the language allows
Speaker 1: him to use the military to build some type of
Speaker 1: barrier at the southern border to stop drugs from coming
Speaker 1: into the country, I think he wins in the Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: They'll go judge shopping somewhere out in California liberal judge
Speaker 1: would side with them, then the Ninth Circuit will side
Speaker 1: with the Amocrats. Then I would think the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: has a hard time saying no to accepting this case
Speaker 1: and making him ruling on it. Well, I think that's
Speaker 1: probably right. But the real question is this a fight
Speaker 1: worth having? The answer is yes. Most things in Washington
Speaker 1: that really bring about change you have to fight for. Now,
Speaker 1: this guy, President Trump is fighting for the central promise
Speaker 1: he made domestically, which is to secure our border by
Speaker 1: having barriers where we need barriers. So the one point
Speaker 1: three seven five billion dollars, the question I have can
Speaker 1: he use that money for still barriers like he's been proposing.
Speaker 1: If the answer is yes, without equivocation, then that's a
Speaker 1: down payment toward the five to seven. Then he does
Speaker 1: what you said. He takes what's left of the eight
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty billion dollars in the Defense Bill, he
Speaker 1: applies it to barriers where it makes sense. He declares
Speaker 1: a national emergency and reprograms money money to finish out
Speaker 1: what's left to the five to seven. He goes to court,
Speaker 1: He fights like Hill. I think he wins, but more
Speaker 1: than anything else, he'll be seen as have fighting, have
Speaker 1: been fighting for what he promised, and the Democrats are
Speaker 1: on the wrong side of boor security. There is no losing.
Speaker 1: Remember what we said three weeks ago. Give the Congress
Speaker 1: a chance to work with you. If they don't come
Speaker 1: up with an acceptable outcome, mister President, do it by yourself.
Speaker 1: That's where we're headed. I think that's where we're headed to. Now,
Speaker 1: is it strategically better? And look all my conservative friends
Speaker 1: looking at this bill and seeing it as exactly as
Speaker 1: I labeled it last night, I said, this is a
Speaker 1: garbage bill. I'm frankly surprised, because I really do, like
Speaker 1: Richard Shelby on a little surprised guy. He did the
Speaker 1: best he could. You gotta remember, these people hate Trump, okay,
Speaker 1: but you know, the bottom line is the president doesn't
Speaker 1: want a government shutdown. Now. The other option would be
Speaker 1: to just do a continuing resolution, maybe short term, and
Speaker 1: send these guys back to the bargaining table, keep the
Speaker 1: government funded, but you know, and declare the national emergency anyway.
Speaker 1: You see, because if he declares the national emergency first,
Speaker 1: they're they're gonna take that money back out of the bill.
Speaker 1: Don't you think a hundred percent. So this is why
Speaker 1: old people listen to your radio show. So here's the
Speaker 1: couple plays you can make here. Number one, if the
Speaker 1: bedspace is reduced under this bill for violent offenders, I
Speaker 1: would not sign it, even if it cost him his job,
Speaker 1: I would not sign it. I would do a continuing resolution. However,
Speaker 1: if under the bill the deal you can actually add
Speaker 1: bed spaces, that would alleviate that concern. What I would
Speaker 1: do if I were the president, I'd take the one
Speaker 1: point three seven five being if I can spend it
Speaker 1: on bearers I like, I would like, and I'd do
Speaker 1: the rest by emergency declaration. That's what I would do.
Speaker 1: I think that is a good outcome for the country.
Speaker 1: Now he's got a fight for the difference between the
Speaker 1: one three, one four and five seven, But that's the
Speaker 1: fight worth having. If the president is going to have
Speaker 1: at that point, it would be two point three five
Speaker 1: billion or thereabouts, all right, So that's money that can
Speaker 1: be used in the interim. Let's assume this is a
Speaker 1: four to six month court battle, maybe longer. What do
Speaker 1: you think, Well, so you know this section that you
Speaker 1: keep referring to, I think it's two five four whatever
Speaker 1: section it is, section two eighty four eighty four, Okay,
Speaker 1: what it says that the president can put barriers in
Speaker 1: place at drug cord orders up to eight hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty million. Some of that money has already been allocated, John,
Speaker 1: so it's like six hundred left. So you take to
Speaker 1: one point three seven five, you had this six hundred.
Speaker 1: You can do that without declaring an emergency. That's appropriated
Speaker 1: dollars from the Congress, plus an account we've created last
Speaker 1: year that he can access without declaring an emergency. Then
Speaker 1: you declare emergency for the rest I think it does.
Speaker 1: Go to court is a fight worth having. He's going
Speaker 1: to win. And if you ask me what kind of
Speaker 1: contrast you want with Democrats, it would be over this issue.
Speaker 1: You know, the one thing that I know it's going
Speaker 1: to irk some people. And some people are gonna say, no,
Speaker 1: he should just veto this bill. But the problem is, okay,
Speaker 1: and let's say he vetos the bill and does the
Speaker 1: national emergency. Now we've got a whole issue of a
Speaker 1: shutdown to deal with once again, right, but more importantly,
Speaker 1: at least in the interim, he's gonna have based on
Speaker 1: what you said about the nine hundred million and the
Speaker 1: one point three to five whatever the number is in
Speaker 1: the bill. He has that money to play with from
Speaker 1: day one. That's appropriated now, and so in the interim,
Speaker 1: I don't even think they could spend it that fast.
Speaker 1: To be honest, you got to remember we're talking about
Speaker 1: money to be spent by October the first this year.
Speaker 1: That's what this debate is about. How much money can
Speaker 1: we allocate for border security between now and October first?
Speaker 1: If he does continuing resolution, the most money available to
Speaker 1: him is six hundred dollars for barriers, not one point
Speaker 1: three seven five, Because if we have to go back
Speaker 1: to last year's levels, the last time we appropriated money,
Speaker 1: he loses two thirds of what we've obtained in this deal.
Speaker 1: Any senator, any friend in the Republican Party in the
Speaker 1: US Senate that opposes the President doing the right thing
Speaker 1: to stop drugs, human trafficking, even young girls into prostitution,
Speaker 1: stop the cartels, stop the gangs. Look look at the
Speaker 1: four thousand homicides, the thirty thousand sexual assaults, one hundred
Speaker 1: thousand instances of violent assaults by illegal criminals, immigrant criminals,
Speaker 1: And if they don't support him, I would argue for them,
Speaker 1: it's political suicide. Well, let me tell you about the party.
Speaker 1: The president beat seventeen of US sixteen of US decisively,
Speaker 1: and one of the central pieces of his agenda was
Speaker 1: to fix a broke an immigration system by securing our
Speaker 1: border as step one. So here's what I think. It
Speaker 1: is an emergency that he's made a compelling case that
Speaker 1: the border is dangerously broken. And Democrats might do things
Speaker 1: in the future with climate change in guns, but I
Speaker 1: know this Donald Trump should do what he's planning to
Speaker 1: do on the border, declare a national emergency because the
Speaker 1: facts justify that. Into my Republican colleagues, if we don't
Speaker 1: stand behind this president in declaring a national emergency, we
Speaker 1: must disagree with his evaluation of the problem. That is
Speaker 1: some manufactured crisis. As Democrats say, how can you listen
Speaker 1: to this president describe the state of the border and
Speaker 1: not believe we have a crisis on our hands. It's obvious.
Speaker 1: And look at the crowd reaction last night. Now, not
Speaker 1: just the crowd inside the arena and l Passo, look
Speaker 1: at the crowd outside, you know, look like thirty thousand
Speaker 1: people outside and I think, bozo, uh, what the under
Speaker 1: a thousand people didn't. This is not my cribs bigger
Speaker 1: than yours. Trump had any but the passion is real
Speaker 1: for this real. But it's the state of the Union speech.
Speaker 1: Go back. This is the moment when a lot of
Speaker 1: people are watching. Forty five million Americans, Seventy four percent
Speaker 1: of the people agreed with the president's characterization about the
Speaker 1: state of the Union. The state of the Union is
Speaker 1: strong economically, we're safer militarily, but our border is broken,
Speaker 1: and it is a crime problem, is a humanitarian problem,
Speaker 1: it is a drug problem. Seventy four percent of the
Speaker 1: people agreed with the president. That's all a Republican should
Speaker 1: need to know. Seventy four percent of the people listened
Speaker 1: to the president agreed with his assessment. Eighty percent of independence.
Speaker 1: I mean, we would be idiots politically. You talk about suician.
Speaker 1: By the way, there are a lot of idiot Republicans
Speaker 1: out their senator. Well, well, no offense. Now's the time
Speaker 1: to have less because but we would be idiots to
Speaker 1: not back the president because the public understands where he's
Speaker 1: coming from. Well, I think the public supports him, and
Speaker 1: that's where too, and the support is getting stronger, as
Speaker 1: we saw last night, it's getting stronger. But the argument
Speaker 1: that the border is broken is compelling. Even the governor
Speaker 1: of California said, I'm will leave a hundred National Guard
Speaker 1: troops because they are making a difference on drug interdiction.
Speaker 1: The point is that the drug problem in this country
Speaker 1: is an all time high for opioid abuse. All the
Speaker 1: heroine in the country just about comes through the Mexican border.
Speaker 1: They seize enough sent in all about it three weeks
Speaker 1: ago to kill fifty seven million people. Human traffic, by
Speaker 1: the way, what if they ever put that fenton all
Speaker 1: and poison the food supply in this country? Just play
Speaker 1: out all of these problems. The bottom line is the
Speaker 1: president is made compelling case that the border is dangerously broken,
Speaker 1: that he has power that every other president's had in
Speaker 1: the past to declare an emergency, and for the Republicans
Speaker 1: not to stand by him basically undercuts his assessment of
Speaker 1: the national security threats we face. He is our commander
Speaker 1: in chief. He is not wrong to believe that the
Speaker 1: border is under siege. He is not wrong to want
Speaker 1: to put up barriers where barriers make sense. And if
Speaker 1: you don't support him here, you're basically saying he is
Speaker 1: wrong with no evidence to suggest that you're right. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna say what you're saying. Any Republican that
Speaker 1: won't back him and the Senator of the House on
Speaker 1: this is frankly, they're not capable of doing their job.
Speaker 1: And if they don't see the same movie that we're watching.
Speaker 1: And by the way, over the years, to be very clear,
Speaker 1: you and I have battled over issues involving immigration. We're
Speaker 1: in full sync here. Build the wall, fund the wall,
Speaker 1: build the wall, declare the emergency, and get it over well.
Speaker 1: So when Sean Hannitty and Lindsay Grahamnesty are telling you
Speaker 1: this is what you should do, you should at least listen.
Speaker 1: Here's the point I've always believed, you're not going to
Speaker 1: fix a broken immigration system until you secure your border.
Speaker 1: Democrats are opposed to border security when it comes to barriers.
Speaker 1: They're willing to let criminals out of jail when it
Speaker 1: comes to bedspace. If you're looking for these people to
Speaker 1: help this president, they're not going to help him. They
Speaker 1: hate Donald Trump. They want him to fail. So to
Speaker 1: all my Republican colleagues who worry about the president, we're
Speaker 1: setting for the future and the legal niceties here's what
Speaker 1: I would say. It's not what a Democrat may do
Speaker 1: in the future should drive your thinking. It's whether or
Speaker 1: not this president is right. This president is right to
Speaker 1: say the emergent that the border is broken and we
Speaker 1: need emergency funding. He is right. It's not about what
Speaker 1: a Democrat might do in the future. It's about whether
Speaker 1: or not this president is right. And I believe him
Speaker 1: to be right. All right, Senator lindsay you're right on
Speaker 1: this issue, and I think it would be ironic he
Speaker 1: takes the money and then he declares the emergency at
Speaker 1: the same time. That would piss off every Democrat and
Speaker 1: liberal in the country. Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 1: You don't think the public's going to see anything. You
Speaker 1: think it's forty million dollars. Mueller investigated and that's it. No,
Speaker 1: but the rules of the department. Just put yourself, put
Speaker 1: yourself in the president's shoes. Let's say we investigate you guys,
Speaker 1: and it comes out your witness and the subject. You
Speaker 1: cooperate transparently, and we take all those facts. When we say,
Speaker 1: you know, there's nothing here. The idea that you would
Speaker 1: take that information and make it public, you know, violates
Speaker 1: the whole concept of the grand jury puts the grand
Speaker 1: jury for to protect the innocent. And by the way,
Speaker 1: I've read thousands of grand juries and I it does
Speaker 1: protect the innocent. I mean maybe one in ten cases
Speaker 1: you would bring, but you would investigate some. I mean,
Speaker 1: I talk about organized crime, public corruption. You come, you
Speaker 1: come close to really awful stuff. But is it a crime?
Speaker 1: Is it prosecutable? No? Does that ever get reported? No?
Speaker 1: So you're saying when Mueller's report drops, it's going to
Speaker 1: be a flop. You're saying, we're not going to I
Speaker 1: will be shocked if if anything regarding the president has
Speaker 1: made public other than we're done. Do you respect what
Speaker 1: Mueller is doing? I know, you know Muller, Well, well,
Speaker 1: I respected it in the beginning and I started out
Speaker 1: and it's my style is I always trust the other
Speaker 1: side until we did it. In my opinion, on March fifth,
Speaker 1: we were done. He had everything, he said he had everything.
Speaker 1: He told me that no one had lied. He told
Speaker 1: me they had every document we asked for. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: told me that there was nothing more. He told me
Speaker 1: that the president was not target that is, he did
Speaker 1: not have any exposure, that he was a witnessed subject,
Speaker 1: which is perfectly normal for someone's conduct you're looking at,
Speaker 1: but they don't have exposure. But people don't understand about
Speaker 1: the president, and I think the same would be with you,
Speaker 1: is you have too much information in your life. When
Speaker 1: you go back and talk about Flynn or callmey, those events,
Speaker 1: while magnified in the media, are nothing, not compared to
Speaker 1: the threat of the Soviet Union, the threat of the China,
Speaker 1: dealing with Japan, dealing with Korea. I mean, the amount
Speaker 1: of information that he intakes every day, gets prepared for,
Speaker 1: is staggering. And in my questioning him or talking at all,
Speaker 1: he question, you know, first question, easy, second question, easy,
Speaker 1: third question. He wasn't sure, and he doesn't like being unsure,
Speaker 1: so he'll guess. There's your trap right there. It's not
Speaker 1: whether he lies or not. Everybody wants to get into this,
Speaker 1: you know, this integrity business. It's not a matter of integrity.
Speaker 1: It's overloading. You know. I tried to deal with Rosenstein
Speaker 1: early on. We wrote a lot of tamaula saying, look,
Speaker 1: COMBI is the accuser in this phony investigation. We think
Speaker 1: there are other issues and for regarding his conduct as
Speaker 1: to the origin of this whole business. It turns out
Speaker 1: not only was I right, but Comy admitted that there
Speaker 1: were no facts to investigate the president on and me,
Speaker 1: there's no collusion. So um, then I so Bob said
Speaker 1: he wasn't looking at it. So I wrote to Rosenstein.
Speaker 1: He blew me off. That's not leadership, that's not accountability.
Speaker 1: This is very serious. I mean, we were very serious,
Speaker 1: and we did it in writing. We did it politely,
Speaker 1: we did it confidentially, and he blew us off. So
Speaker 1: I lost all back for Rob Rosenstein and Sessions. I
Speaker 1: don't know what he was doing. I'm not sure Sessions
Speaker 1: knows what he was doing. We did the very best
Speaker 1: we could. And bringing home, I think it is coming home,
Speaker 1: and I think it's coming home, and the sha same shape,
Speaker 1: and you know, and then you know, there are people
Speaker 1: in the press say, well, he must have some surprise.
Speaker 1: He didn't have. I know exactly what he has. I
Speaker 1: know exactly what every witness said, what every document said.
Speaker 1: Is I know exactly what he has, and I know
Speaker 1: what I know what you know what the conclusion of
Speaker 1: the result is. What does he have? What's the result,
Speaker 1: what's the conclusion the climb. There's no basis, there's no exposure.
Speaker 1: It's been a terrible waste of time. What's worse is,
Speaker 1: let's get on the other side of this. How it
Speaker 1: all happened. This is one of the greatest frauds those
Speaker 1: country's ever seen. And I'm just shocked that Bob Muller
Speaker 1: didn't call it that way and say I'm being used.
Speaker 1: I would have done that, powering his shoes and this
Speaker 1: thing I got. I'd got the Sessions and Rosen and say, look,
Speaker 1: this is nonsense. We are being used by cabal and
Speaker 1: the FBI. That's John Dowd and all those comments made
Speaker 1: earlier today, pretty shocking comments about Muller not even having
Speaker 1: a report he knows the president didn't do any of this,
Speaker 1: was afraid of a perjury trap, no respect for Rod Rosenstein,
Speaker 1: and a waste of time. One of the greatest frauds
Speaker 1: ever committed in the country. Yeah, the real collusion is
Speaker 1: with the Democrats. All right, let's get to your phones.
Speaker 1: You've been very patient here as our coverage of the
Speaker 1: deep state continues. By the way, Devin Nunez on Hannity tonight,
Speaker 1: he's indicating criminal referrals on FISA abuse are coming. Wow,
Speaker 1: let's get to our phones. All right, let's get to
Speaker 1: this deal and what people think of it. If the president,
Speaker 1: if he couples it with an emergency declaration, that's fine.
Speaker 1: If not, that's a problem to me. Let's say hi
Speaker 1: to Jane in Arizona. What's up, Jane, Jane? How are
Speaker 1: you all right? Bill? And Pensacola, Florida. Bill, you're on
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. Hey, Sean, how's it going. I'm good?
Speaker 1: You call great. Hey. I just wanted to make a
Speaker 1: quick comment because you know, Donald Trump was elected. He
Speaker 1: was he's an outsider, he's a fighter. The people are
Speaker 1: behind him, and we're like really tired. I mean, everybody
Speaker 1: I've talked to, we're like tired of hearing this rhetoric
Speaker 1: over and over put out by the Democrats, and that
Speaker 1: the fact that the Republicans themselves aren't fine. I'm a conservative,
Speaker 1: and I'm tired of seeing people think, oh, let's just
Speaker 1: play their game, you know, let's play by their rules,
Speaker 1: and then we get beat because they're not playing by rules.
Speaker 1: And you know, I think that Donald Trump should just
Speaker 1: declare the emergency, get them all done, and then go
Speaker 1: after the deep state. Let's see some prosecutions let's we're
Speaker 1: tired of them getting away with you know, this kind
Speaker 1: of thing, and we just want to see it move forward.
Speaker 1: You know. Well, look, I mean this is why the
Speaker 1: deal's horrible. This is the Republicans. What I'm worried about
Speaker 1: more than anything is, you know, the Republicans. You know,
Speaker 1: I guess he can say they got some money. They
Speaker 1: got more than a dollar. They got one point three
Speaker 1: five billion, and that's money to work within this fiscal year.
Speaker 1: President has another nine hundred million that he legally can
Speaker 1: use on the wall. Now that's all good, but it's
Speaker 1: it's not enough, and it's not fast enough without the
Speaker 1: urgency that has needed to solve about problem. And that's
Speaker 1: why it has to be together. If not, I can
Speaker 1: tell you conservatives are going to be furious at the Republicans.
Speaker 1: And I just think my understanding of the President and
Speaker 1: knowing him all these years, and I don't think I've
Speaker 1: been wrong to date. Remember I stuck my neck out
Speaker 1: and told everybody he's going to govern like a conservative.
Speaker 1: Remember that a lot of people were doubting back in
Speaker 1: the day. I don't know if you were listening to
Speaker 1: me then, Bill, but well you probably remember people say
Speaker 1: what are you talking about. He gave money to Democrats
Speaker 1: in New York, and I kept telling people, No, you
Speaker 1: don't understand. He's playing the game that they that they rigged,
Speaker 1: that's their game. And he did it to keep you know,
Speaker 1: construction workers working buildings going up, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and businesses, painters.
Speaker 1: Everyone benefits when somebody builds a big building. So but
Speaker 1: I've known him, and I knew that his political philosophy
Speaker 1: evolved greatly over the years. And I also know that
Speaker 1: when he says he's going to do something, he does it.
Speaker 1: So I haven't been wrong yet. My guest, strong guess
Speaker 1: is if he will sign this crappy bill, he's only
Speaker 1: doing it to keep the government open and get a
Speaker 1: down payment of one point three five that will put
Speaker 1: with another nine hundred million, and sign the emergency declaration
Speaker 1: to get the rest. That's my guess. That's what I think.
Speaker 1: If I think that's what I think will happen, would
Speaker 1: that be okay with you? Oh, that would be okay.
Speaker 1: But on the second side of that is the how
Speaker 1: the deep state is just keep you know, everything whatever
Speaker 1: you know, it's all out there, you know. Eight hundred
Speaker 1: nine one Sean toll free telephone number. Let's get to
Speaker 1: Brian is in Oh he's down to WKV and beautiful Pontovidra.
Speaker 1: What's going on? How are you? Brian? Hey Sean? How
Speaker 1: you doing? I just wanted to comment on the Green
Speaker 1: New Deal in the high speed rail. They've tried to
Speaker 1: work that out in California, They've tried to do it
Speaker 1: in Florida. And every time we try to build something,
Speaker 1: the environmentalists come out and say that it's gonna harm
Speaker 1: the habitat of some spider or prairie dog, and nothing
Speaker 1: ever gets done. Well, look, you know this is a
Speaker 1: government that is now going to alter every single aspect
Speaker 1: of our economy within ten years and eliminate the life
Speaker 1: blood of the economy and making all sorts of wild
Speaker 1: declarations about everything being guaranteed it is. I can guarantee
Speaker 1: one thing about this New Green Deal. It'll it'll bring
Speaker 1: Americans to their knees and into poverty faster than anything
Speaker 1: we've ever seen. And it'll cause literally, you know, I
Speaker 1: love this. We're gonna get rid of airplanes. Well, how
Speaker 1: are you going to get to Europe? Now? Well, we're
Speaker 1: gonna have a high speed train, dig a tunnel from
Speaker 1: here to Europe, or we're gonna have a high speed
Speaker 1: train on top of the water. How are they planning
Speaker 1: on doing that in ten years? And how are we
Speaker 1: going to have that high speed train in ten years
Speaker 1: available for Australia or New Zealand or Asia. How's that
Speaker 1: going to happen? You know it is. How are you
Speaker 1: going to guarantee people housing, a job, vacation's best, healthcare, best, best, best, best, free, free, free,
Speaker 1: It's not possible. Then you're gonna take the lifeblood of
Speaker 1: every economy and destroy it. Our path to wealth is
Speaker 1: our energy resources. All we have to do is use
Speaker 1: them and you'll see the standard of living of every
Speaker 1: American skyrocket quickly. Wait till these two pipelines get online.
Speaker 1: Wait till Anmar gets online. You know what it's going
Speaker 1: to be prosperity for people that deserve it. And you
Speaker 1: know these people that want to take that away from you,
Speaker 1: just remember who they are. This is a pipe dream,
Speaker 1: but this is how they think. Take it seriously. Okay, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and remember John Kerry, we wanted wind power unless it
Speaker 1: was going to affect his views off of what Nantucket
Speaker 1: Island or Martha's vineyard wherever it was, right, Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: that was actually Kennedy And I don't know where these
Speaker 1: people Nantucket Matha's vineyard. You know whatever. I'm glad they're
Speaker 1: enjoying the good life. Look, I just go with the
Speaker 1: president's own statements today and the president earlier today, you know,
Speaker 1: as House conservatives rightly blast this deal for all the
Speaker 1: right reasons, and the President saying, well, I'll add whatever
Speaker 1: I have to add to build the wall. That's it.
Speaker 1: He's telegraphing what he's gonna do. Now. People don't aren't
Speaker 1: smart enough to believe him. That's their problem. I believe
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that. That's what I would say is
Speaker 1: likely to happen. Back to our phones, we've got let's
Speaker 1: see here, William in Oklahoma. What's up, William? How are you?
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Sean good? What's happening? Okay? If
Speaker 1: Trump decides to go the emergency route, if he says,
Speaker 1: say Monday at two o'clock, he's going to declare a
Speaker 1: national emergency, what he needs to do is have somebody
Speaker 1: on his behalf file petition in the Fifth Circuit Court
Speaker 1: preventing him from doing that, saying he does not have
Speaker 1: the authority to do it. The Fifth Circuit will overturn it,
Speaker 1: say he does have the authority. Then he has a
Speaker 1: ruling out of a district court saying that he does
Speaker 1: have the authority to do it, because if he doesn't,
Speaker 1: somebody's going to file it in the Ninth Circuit and
Speaker 1: it's going to be held up for months. All right,
Speaker 1: that sounds listen. I think, look, that's a that's actually
Speaker 1: the beauty in the sense that the down payment actually
Speaker 1: helps him buy some time because now he's got two
Speaker 1: point three billion dollars to play with, if you will,
Speaker 1: in the interim while he's fighting in court. So the
Speaker 1: walls being built in the interim, that's kind of the
Speaker 1: Democrats are going to lose it big time. And I
Speaker 1: think they're going to lose ultimately in court. They won't
Speaker 1: lose the first couple of rounds. They'll likely go judge
Speaker 1: shopping for that. But after the Ninth Circuit, I don't
Speaker 1: see how the Supreme Court stays out of a fight
Speaker 1: about you know, presidential power and the national emergency and
Speaker 1: drugs and you know the code is clear us. You
Speaker 1: know two eighty four is what it is, all right,
Speaker 1: Hannity tonight nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. President
Speaker 1: unhappy with the so called compromised deal on the border,
Speaker 1: but he says, well, I'll be able to add to
Speaker 1: it on my own. To me a clear indication that
Speaker 1: he will go the emergency route and take the money
Speaker 1: upfront down payment. The battle over whether he can or
Speaker 1: cannot use the nine hundred million, but that's neither here
Speaker 1: nor there, and we'll have full coverage of all that.
Speaker 1: We also have breaking news on the deep state that
Speaker 1: looks finally we now see criminal referrals that will be
Speaker 1: coming as it relates to FISA abuse and other issues.
Speaker 1: Devin Newness and Dershowitz, Andy McCarthy, John Solomon, Greg Garrett Tonight.
Speaker 1: Also we'll have the latest on the battle for the border.
Speaker 1: Dan Bongino, Monica, Lawrence Jesse, Jessica all coming up Ninetiestern
Speaker 1: Incredible Hannity Nineties Stern on the Fox News Channel. See
Speaker 1: it tonight, and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
