1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Radio Show podcast. So, like many of you,

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 1: I used to suffer from insomnia. No matter what I did,

00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 1: I just couldn't get a perfect night's sleep. Well, then

5
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: I met Mike Lindel, the inventor of My Pillow. He

Speaker 1: got me fitted for my very own my pillow, and

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,959

18
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: attempts to build a better relationship with President Putin, well,

19
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: you know President Putin and Russia put out a statement

20
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,639
Speaker 1: today that this fake news was indeed fake news. They

21
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: said it totally never happened. Now somebody would say, oh,

22
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: of course he's going to say that. I respected the

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: fact that he said that, And I'll be honest, I

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: think if he did have something, they would have released it.

25
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: They would have been glad to release it. I think, frankly,

26
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,039
Speaker 1: had they broken into the Republican National Committee, I think

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: they would have released it, just like they did about

28
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,039
Speaker 1: Hillary and all of the horrible things that her people

29
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: like Mr Podesta said about her. I mean, what he

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: said about her was horrible. If somebody said about me

31
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: what Podesta said about Hillary I was the boss, I

32
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: would have fired him immediately or that person because what

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: he said about her was horrible. But remember this, We

34
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: talked about the hacking and hackins bad and it shouldn't

35
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 1: be done. But look at the things that were hacked,

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: look at what was learned from that hacking. That Hillary

37
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: Clinton got the questions to the debate and didn't report it,

38
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: that's a horrible thing. That's a horrible thing. Can you

39
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: imagine that if Donald Trump got the questions to the debate,

40
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: it would have been the biggest story in the history

41
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 1: of stories, and they would have said immediately, you have

42
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: to get out of the race. Nobody even talked about it.

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: It's a very terrible thing. On that intelligence report that

44
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: the second part of their conclusion was that Vladimir Putin

45
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: ordered it because he aspired to help you in the election.

46
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: Do you accept that part of the finding and will

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: you undo what President Obama did to punish the Russians

48
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,720
Speaker 1: for this? Or if Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: that an asset, not a liability, because we have a

50
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: horrible relationship with Russia. Russia can help us fight ISIS,

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 1: which by the way, is number one tricky. I mean,

52
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: if you look, this administration created ISIS by leaving at

53
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: the wrong time. The void was created, ISIS was formed.

54
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: If Putin likes Donald Trump, guess what, folks, that's called

55
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: an asset, not a liability. Now, I don't know that

56
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to get along with Vladimir Putin. I hope

57
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: I do, but there's a good chance I won't. And

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 1: if I don't, do you honestly believe that Hillary would

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: be tougher on Putin than me? Does anybody in this

60
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: room really believe that? Give me a break. If you

61
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: indeed do believe that Russia wasn't behind the hacking. What

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: is your message to Vladimir Putin right now? He shouldn't

63
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: be doing it. He won't be doing it. Russia will

64
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: have much greater respect for our country when I'm leading

65
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 1: it than when other people have led it. You will

66
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 1: see that Russia will respect our country more. He shouldn't

67
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: have done it. I don't believe he'll be doing it more. Now.

68
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 1: We have to work something out. But it's not just Russia.

69
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 1: Take a look at what's happened. You don't report it

70
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: the same way. Twenty two million accounts were hacked in

71
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: this country by China, and that's because we have no defense.

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 1: That's because we're run by people that don't know what

73
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: they're doing. Russia will have far greater respect for our

74
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: country when I'm leading it, and I believe, and I hope,

75
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe it won't happen. It's possible, but I won't be

76
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: given a little reset button like Hillary here pressed this

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: piece of plastic. I looked at her, like, what is

78
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: she doing? There's no reset. But we're either going to

79
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: get along or were not. I hope we can along,

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: but if we don't, that's possible too. I am extremely careful.

81
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by bodyguards, I'm surrounded by people, and I

82
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: always tell them anywhere, but I always tell them if

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I'm leaving this country, be very careful because in your

84
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: hotel rooms and no matter where you go, you're gonna

85
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: probably have cameras. I'm not referring just to Russia, but

86
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: I would certainly put them in that category. And number one,

87
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: I hope you're gonna be good anyway, but in those

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: rooms you have cameras in the strangest places, cameras that

89
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: are so small with modern technology you can't see them

90
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: and you won't know. You better be careful or you'll

91
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: be watching yourself or nightly television. I tell this to

92
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: people all the time. I was in Russia years ago

93
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: with the MS Universe contest, which did very well. Moscow,

94
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: the Moscow area did very very well, and I told

95
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 1: many people be careful because you don't want to see

96
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: yourself in television cameras all over the place, and again,

97
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: not just Russia, all over anyone really believe that story.

98
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: I'm also very much of a germophobe. By the way,

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: believe me this morning about are we living in Nazi Germany?

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: What were you driving at there, What are you trying

101
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: to tell them? I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that

102
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to

103
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: be so false and fake out. I think it's a disgrace.

104
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: And I say that, and I say that, and that's

105
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,359
Speaker 1: something that Nazi Germany would have done and did do.

106
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: I think it's a disgrace that information that was false

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: and fake and never happened got released to the public.

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: As far as BuzzFeed, which is a failing pilot garbage

109
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: writing it, I think they're going to suffer the consequences

110
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: they already are. And as far as CNN going out

111
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: of their way to build it up. And by the way,

112
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: we just found out I was coming down Michael Cohen.

113
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: I was being Michael Cohn is a very talented lawyer,

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 1: is a good lawyer in my firm, who has just

115
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: reported that it wasn't this Michael Cohen. They were talking

116
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: about so all night long, it's Michael Own. I said,

117
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: I want to see your passport. He brings his passport

118
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: to my office. I say, hey, wait a minute, he

119
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: didn't leave the country. He wasn't out of the country.

120
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: They had Michael Cone of the Trump organization wasn't Prague.

121
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: It turned out to be a different Michael Cone. It's

122
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: a disgrace what took place. It's a disgrace, and I

123
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: think they ought to apologize. To start with, Michael Come,

124
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: since you're attacking us, can you give us a question? Mr?

Speaker 1: that's not appropriate, Mr President, that's not appropriate. Mr President Elect.

134
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: You gotta look at the the headline on the Drudge

135
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: Report right now. It's got a big CNN and in quotations.

136
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: You are fake news. That was Jim Acosta, that last

137
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: that last bit that you heard saying to a president like,

138
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: can you ever remember a time when when Barack Obama

139
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 1: was treated that way by the news media, Because I can't.

140
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: I do remember it was the president do you do

141
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: you realize how great you are your job. And I'm

142
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: actually gonna montage some of this later in tonight as

143
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: well on Hannity. Anyway, glad you're with us. Right down

144
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: our toll free number, it's eight nine one Sea. And

145
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

146
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 1: New King Rich Michael Cohen, who you just heard the

147
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: President elect talking about, will be on the program today.

148
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: We'll go through the horrific treatment by by so many

149
00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: people against Jeff Sessions, who will be the next attorney general.

150
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: There's there's no issue in all of that, so we'll

151
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: get to that. You know, I was thinking today, I um,

152
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: it actually got picked up by media today. Now, over

153
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: the years they have not exactly been the most friendly

154
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: news outlet to me, but I was pretty happy. Hannity

155
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: applauded Trump for total beat down of the media at presser.

156
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: All right, though it was fair and they put it

157
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: my tweets, they certainly were quick to throw up a

158
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: mistake that I made and not take the time to

159
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: actually read my timeline. But that's neither here nor there.

160
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I made the mistake. It's my fault. I own mistakes

161
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: when I make them, and which is not too often.

162
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: So I tweeted out earlier today, I said, Wow, at

163
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: real Donald Trump. Wow, a total beatdown of the alt

164
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: radical left mainstream media. And I said, I said, a

165
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: o A. Journalism is dead now it is buried. And

166
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, do you remember when Joe Wilson lied out,

167
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: yelled out, you lied to Obama? What a big deal

168
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: it is? You think tonight they're gonna make a big

169
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: deal about how CNN treated Donald Trump, our president elect,

170
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours and their horrific decision making.

171
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, was there any doubt after they were exposed

172
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: as colluding with the mainstream media um and exposed by

173
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 1: wiki leaks as colluding? I mean, was there any doubt

174
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: where they stood in terms of which side they were

175
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: pulling for? I don't think there was. There's that much.

176
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: Remember what wiki Leaks exposed Donna Brazil leaking debate questions

177
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: to the Clinton campaign. Donna Brazil pushing back at CNN,

178
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: their own network over coverage of the Clinton campaign. We

179
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: found journalists who covered Clinton were invited to these big,

180
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: expensive dinners at Podesta's house and others. Apparently, Katie Curric

181
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 1: caught trying to offer a showcase of Clinton's personality in

182
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: an interview. Let me let me translate that for you.

183
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: A squishy propaganda film by Katie Currik. And remember Glenn

184
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,319
Speaker 1: thrush Over, a Politico, sent a story to the campaign

185
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: before I post this. Don't tell my bosses I'm doing this,

186
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: but I want to make sure you approved that it's

187
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: not gonna You're not gonna be offended when it gets posted.

188
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 1: Or a Huffing and Post writer saying the outlet wanted

189
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: to make sure Clinton is elected. Or John Harwood over

190
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: at CNBC worried that he offended Podesta with a story

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: about Clinton ended up posting a debate and Harwood mocking

192
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: reporters who asked Clinton tough questions, or Harward emailing Podesta

193
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 1: about questions he should ask Jeff Bush. Hey, John, can

194
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: you tell me what questions I should ask Jeff Bush?

195
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: I I'm too stupid to think of it myself. I'll

196
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 1: never forget. Once in my early in my career, somebody

197
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: came up to me and said it was working for

198
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: my show, and they were brand new, and they said, oh,

199
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: by the way, here's your questions. And I look at

200
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: him and I'm like, very very well thought out. I'm

201
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: very impressed. And then I handed him back to this

202
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 1: young woman and I said, but that's my job. That's

203
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: what I do. I make up my own questions. Um,

204
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: when you had let's say, CNN sore tipped off an

205
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 1: ally about the poll findings and that's not that big

206
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 1: a deal. Who cares They're getting out in an hour anyway.

207
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: Reuters offering to share House Benghazi Committee intel with the

208
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: campaign of Hillary Clinton. Political reporters offering campaign the chance

209
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: to edit New York Time, allowing edits I've been interviewed

210
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: all these years by The New York Times. I never

211
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: get that opportunity. An MSNBC producer praising Clinton, uh, telling

212
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: them what questions Clinton campaign suggesting what questions should be asked,

213
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: and then those are the questions asked, colluding with NBC

214
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: in an interview about the Clinton Foundation, the campaign bragging

215
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: about support, Univision pressuring to attack Trump, the Boston Globe

216
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,640
Speaker 1: pumping up the campaign. You know, we get attacked, and

217
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: I'm the you know, I think back in the over

218
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: the years here who vetted Barack Obama. It wasn't the

219
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: mainstream fawning press, you know, who went into depth about

220
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: what Black liberation, the al g was about, and sitting

221
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 1: in the pews of g D America and Jeremiah Right

222
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: for twenty years, we did I did you know who

223
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: went back to who Frank Marshall Davis, the great influence

224
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama was who went back to what acorn

225
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: organizing meant, meant to people? Who went back to him

226
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 1: being an Olinsky I disciple, and who got into why

227
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: would this man ever announce his political career in the

228
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: home of an unrepentent terrorist. And if that's not bad enough,

229
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: sat on boards with him, gave speeches with him for years.

230
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: Imagine if that was Donald Trump for just a second.

231
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: Last night, the President gave his farewell address. I came

232
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 1: on five minutes after, and I think I'm the only

233
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: one in the media that gave you his very accurate, specific,

234
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: failed record. Nobody else in the media is gonna do that.

235
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: You know, all of the institutions in our government that

236
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: have been hacked, All they talked about is Russia. What

237
00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: about twenty three million Americans? The Office of Personnel Management

238
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: at the White House, the State Department, Department of Defense,

239
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: every government agency. Basically, the media doesn't tell you that

240
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: they're not gonna tell the truth about Obama. They never

241
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: vetted Obama. I don't remember anybody in the media yelling

242
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:18,840
Speaker 1: at Obama the way that Jim Acosta cn ended, you know,

243
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: and the media colluding. CNN is fake news, ABC, NBC, CBS,

244
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,959
Speaker 1: the New York Times, the Political They're all fake news,

245
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 1: and they all don't do their job, and they're all lazy,

246
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: and they're all overpaid. I'm the only one in news

247
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: that will admit that most of us are overpaid. So

248
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. They get paid for doing a crappy job

249
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: with an agenda. And these are people that are supposed

250
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: to be fair, balanced and objective and present both sides.

251
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: That's not my job, my job as I give opinion,

252
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: but I end up doing their job in the process

253
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: because they're unwilling and they've chosen sides. And we're gonna

254
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: get into all this today. Michael Cohen, who you just

255
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: heard the President like, and will be with us New

256
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 1: Gang Richard much more coming up on the program today,

257
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,800
Speaker 1: The Land of the Free. Because of the Brave's the

258
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: Shawn Hannity Show, there is now I think we have

259
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: hit the point where the straw has broken the camel's

260
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: back as it relates to the monopoly of the mainstream media.

261
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: And you gotta understand here, if nobody in the media

262
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: is gonna treat President Obama the way they treated Donald

263
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: Trump today, Americans have voted for Donald Trump, are fed up,

264
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: they're disgusted, and they're loving every second of the You

265
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: see those people on the back there, They're all frauds,

266
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: They're all liars because they do lie. I've been a

267
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 1: victim of their manipulation. I've been a victim of their

268
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: lives myself. I just don't care. It doesn't matter to me.

269
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: Everything that could be said and written about me has

270
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: been said and written. And it's like the people that

271
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: are friends of mine in my life, they go, oh

272
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: my god, are you okay. I'm like, huh, what are

273
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: you talking about that article that they wrote? And I'm like,

274
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,600
Speaker 1: what article? Because I don't look at it with those

275
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 1: Did you ever read the comments on the article that

276
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 1: somebody wrote and people say horrible things about you on Twitter?

277
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: And I'm like, yeah, I have Twitter is fun. I

278
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 1: have fun on Twitter. But the point is Jim Acosta

279
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: screaming the way he did, you know it is we're

280
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 1: living through a pretty unprecedented time here. You cannot trust

281
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: the news media. They've been exposed, They've been exposed as

282
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: having an agenda in this election. They've been exposed as

283
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: being dishonest, They've been exposed as being fraudulent, They've been

284
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: exposed as not being objective, fair and balanced, and the

285
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: reality is and not doing their job. They should be

286
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: pointing out to you tonight. Will Nobody yelled it Barack

287
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: Obama that way except Joe Wilson. They should have last

288
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: night pointed out, as I did, the record, the real

289
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: record of a Barack Obama presidency. They did not, because

290
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: they're fawning still and I'm sure some of them were

291
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: crying and others were getting thrills up their leg causing

292
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: Obama gasms because that's happened when he first started. They

293
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: should have told you all of the instances where their

294
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: own media outlets were coordinating and coluding, like CNN with

295
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: the Hillary campaign. They didn't do that. They never vetted

296
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: Barack Obama. They should have done that back in the day.

297
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: You know, we'll have new King rich On later. I

298
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: experience into this with him back in ninety four, before

320
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: That's why they're called Pine Brothers Soft dish throat drops.

321
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 1: Now work with me, people, so this season, Look, you're

Speaker 1: to soothe my golden throat. I use Pine Brothers throat Drops.

324
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: You will love this product. It's worth every penny. You

325
00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: can find Pine Brothers at CBS Select, Walmart, Target Shop

326
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: right Why because they are the best. We have much

327
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 1: hacking going on and one of the things we're gonna do.

328
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: We have some of the greatest uh computer minds anywhere

329
00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: in the world that we've assembled. You. So just a

330
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: sample of it two weeks ago up here where we

331
00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: had the six top people in the world. They were

332
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: never in the same room together as a group. And

333
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna put those minds together and we're going to

334
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: form a defense. And I have to say this also,

335
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 1: the Democratic National Committee was totally open to be hacked.

336
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 1: They did a very poor job. They could have had

337
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,560
Speaker 1: hacking defense, which we had. And I will give Ryan's

338
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: previous credit because when Ryan's saw what was happening in

339
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,439
Speaker 1: the world and with this country, he went out and

340
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 1: went to various firms and ordered a very very strong

341
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: hacking defense, and they tried to hack the Republican National

342
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 1: Committee and they were unable to break through. We have

343
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: to do that for our country. And we could be

344
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: a Chuck Schumer and sit back and criticize it, and

345
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 1: people would come, they would come begging to us, please,

346
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: we have to do something about Obamacare. We don't want

347
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 1: to own it. We don't want to own it politically.

348
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: They own it right now. So the easiest thing would

349
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: be to let it implode in seventeen and believe me,

350
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: we get pretty much whatever we wanted, but it would

351
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: take a long time. We're going to be submitting as

352
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:50,800
Speaker 1: soon as our secretary is approved, almost simultaneously shortly thereafter

353
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: a plan. It will be repeal and replace. It will

354
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: be essentially simultaneously. It will be various segments, you understand,

355
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: but will most likely be on the same day or

356
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: the same week, but probably the same day could be

357
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 1: the same hour. So we're gonna do repeal and replace,

358
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: very complicated stuff, and we're gonna get a health bill passed.

359
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna get healthcare taken care of in this country.

360
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: You have deductibles, that are so high that after people

361
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: go broke paying their premiums, which are going through the roof,

362
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: the healthcare can't even be used by them because the

363
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:31,680
Speaker 1: deductibles are so high. Obamacare is the Democrats problem. We're

364
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: going to take the problem off the shelves for them.

365
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: We're doing them a tremendous service by doing it. We

366
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: could sit back and let them hang with it. We

367
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 1: are doing the Democrats a great service. So as soon

368
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: as our secretary is approved and gets into the office,

369
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: we'll be filing a plan. And it was actually pretty

370
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: accurately reported today the New York Times, and the plan

371
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: will be repeal and replace Obamacare. We're going to have

372
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: a healthcare that is far less expensive and far better.

373
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean, it's such a difference, isn't it. I mean,

374
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: I'm watching Obama last night. Now let me go back.

375
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: This is where was the media coverage last night? Like

376
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: I had it ten Eastern Hannity on Fox that actually

377
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 1: played Obama's promises on Obamacare, keep your doctor, keep your plans,

378
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: save on average per family, per family, per year. Nowhere

379
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: nowhere to be found. You know, this is what you

380
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 1: heard last night. He came in with so called journalists

381
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: having thrills up their legs and Obama gasms, and he's

382
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 1: going out the same way rather than go into his

383
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: failed record, which I mentioned in the last hour and

384
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,840
Speaker 1: did an entire monologue on this radio program and yesterday

385
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: on TV about they never do their job. They never

386
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: did their job but Obamacare. They never vetted this guy.

387
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 1: They never did their job on the economy, his broken

388
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 1: promises and failure in foreign policy, they never they never

389
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: did any of the things that they should have. They

390
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: never mentioned all the hacking incidents, as we have done

391
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 1: here on this program. I mean, it's amazing how much

392
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,879
Speaker 1: more information we provide our viewers and listeners than the

393
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: mainstream media. It's it's it's it takes your breath away

394
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,239
Speaker 1: at some point. But we know why. We know the

395
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: collusion that now exists. Wiki leaks did us a favor.

396
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: We now know we can never trust the news media.

397
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: But if you watched any other show besides mine last night,

398
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: this is the crap you're hearing. America will forever be

399
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: indebted to him for the character that he showed, and

400
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,159
Speaker 1: for the class that he showed and the dignity that

401
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,080
Speaker 1: he showed. Beyond he's been scandal free. Frankly in the

402
00:22:57,080 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: White House. We haven't had that for a while. On

403
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,439
Speaker 1: that song of hope that brought him to the White House,

404
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: part campaign speech, part State of the Union, sermon on democracy,

405
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 1: a song of gratitude and hope. It was everything. It

406
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: was the two thousand four keynote address, it was the

407
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: race speech in Philadelphia, all of the combined, and I

408
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: don't think that anyone could have done a better farewell address.

409
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 1: What we owe this man and his family for bringing

410
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: that example to all of our children and our nation.

411
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: Room was electric, it still is electric. People are on

412
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: their feet, some people are crying, many of them are cheering.

413
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: The crowd here hanging on his every single word. He

414
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 1: was considered this roncher banister broke the formative mile n

415
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: we never happened prior to that. Within a year, twenty

416
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: four runners have done that. In these eight years personal bomb.

417
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 1: They shown America what's possible. Well we can look like that.

418
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: We are now more diverst nation from top to bot.

419
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 1: They just aren't a whole lot of cultural events that

420
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: pull us together for a lot of Americans. Last night

421
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: was one of whatever friends of yours indicated that they

422
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 1: told their kids to sit down and watch this with them.

423
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 1: That's good parenting. That was a spectacular moment and the

424
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,399
Speaker 1: speech was I thought spectacular in this We're not going

425
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: to be hearing a speech like this from a sitting

426
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: president for the next glory to be honest, I mean,

427
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:23,000
Speaker 1: he is an order. That's just who he is, and

428
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: that's why he can hit it out of the park

429
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,679
Speaker 1: like this. Well, this is a kind of speech that

430
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: got him elected at the president of the United States.

431
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a while. Uh, you know, who knows

432
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: how long before we can hear a speech like this.

433
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: This is a rock and roll concert, a political rally.

434
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: The energy levels high, and the amount of love in

435
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: this city for the president is just sky high. While

436
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: he stayed, uh not only in office, but now is

437
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: a leaving office with an incredibly positive approval rating and

438
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: is the most respected man in America. He's very eloquent.

439
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:54,680
Speaker 1: You cannot take that away from him. He's one of

440
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: the most eloquent presidents we've had for a long long time.

441
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: You saw the people coming to hear him speak. These

442
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: are his passionate supporters, people who love him. You know.

443
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 1: We saw someone with my brother's keeper jacket on on

444
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: the back. You know they this is an emotional night

445
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 1: for them. He'll go down in history as both the

446
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: consequential and excellent um president view from the very beginning

447
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: of the country until now. I think that his his

448
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,800
Speaker 1: economic record, I honestly can't take it anymore. I can't now.

449
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: We could keep playing more and more, but I'm the

450
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: only one that told the truth to the American people

451
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 1: last night, all factually based. Obama has an abysmal record

452
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:38,159
Speaker 1: on the economy. He was a horrible president. Much of

453
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: what he has done, the damage it's gonna take forever

454
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: to undo the damage of his debt, the damage in

455
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: foreign policy, the damage of Obamacare. I went over all

456
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,239
Speaker 1: of this in detail yesterday on radio and last night

457
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: on TV. I won't repeat it again because I have

458
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: other things to talk about. Nobody vetted him in the beginning.

459
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,720
Speaker 1: Nobody gave you a real record of eight years. Last night,

460
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: nobody told you all the instances and hacking during his

461
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: presidency and he did nothing. And the obsession now with Russia.

462
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Nobody told you any of the truth of any of

463
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: these things. It takes. He came in the same way.

464
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: You may remember, we played this back in the day,

465
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 1: the feeling most people get when they hear a Barack

466
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: Obama speech. I felt this thrilling up my leg. I

467
00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: don't have that too often. And that is an objective assessment.

468
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was Hollywood. He was romance, is only

469
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: you in my life, the only thing, dance, pride, and

470
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: we should be comfortable and will be with him in

471
00:26:46,640 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: such a setting. He was realism. I felt this going

472
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: up my leg. I don't have that to office and

473
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: noble office shutting showing that he's comfortable. This is valuable material.

474
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: This is real estate of the highest order of all.

475
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just I don't have enough time.

476
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: I just don't have enough. Every time I hear that,

477
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: I still laugh. But it's really not funny because we

478
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: have an information crisis in the country. So you heard

479
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 1: Jim mccosta CNN talking to President elect Trump today and

480
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: ending it. What's the last thing that he said that's

481
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: not appropriate his lecturing the President elect. Well, let's compare

482
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 1: that to remember Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times,

483
00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: remember the enchanted question. During these first one hundred days,

484
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: what has surprised you the most about this office? Enchanted

485
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 1: you the most out serving in this office, humbled you

486
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 1: the most, and troubled you the most, surprised, troubled. I got,

487
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 1: what was the person? Surprise, surprised, troubled, troubled, enchanted, enchanted,

488
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 1: humblest played Jim Accosta again from CNN earlier today, him,

489
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: did you had this morning about are we living in

490
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany? What were you driving at there? What are

491
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: you trying to tell them? I think it was disgraceful,

492
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: disgraceful that the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned

493
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: out to be so false and fake out. I think

494
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: it's a disgrace. And I say that, and I say that,

495
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 1: and that's something that Nazi Germany would have done and

496
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: did do. I think it's a disgrace that information that

497
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: was false and fake and never happened got released to

498
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: the public. As far as BuzzFeed, which is a failing

499
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: pilot garbage writing it, I think they're gonna suffer the

500
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: consequences they already are. And as far as CNN going

501
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,239
Speaker 1: out of their way to build it up. And by

502
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: the way, we just found out I was coming down

503
00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: Michael Cohne, I was being Michael Cone is a very

504
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: talented lawyer, is a good lawyer in my firm who

505
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: has just reported that it wasn't this Michael Cohen. They

506
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: were talking about so all night long, it's Michael Cone.

507
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: I said, I want to see your passport. He brings

508
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 1: his passport to my office. I say, hey, wait a minute.

509
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,719
Speaker 1: He didn't leave the country. He wasn't out of the country.

510
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: They had Michael Cone of the Trump organization wasn't prague.

511
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 1: It turned out to be a different Michael Cone. It's

512
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: a disgrace what took place. It's a disgrace, and I

513
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 1: think they ought to apologize. To start with, Michael con

514
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: Since you're attacking us, can you give us a question? Mr?

515
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: Personal Life? Since organization you are attacking our news organization,

516
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: you give us a chance to get a question? Circle, sir,

517
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: Mr President elect? Do you say asking a questions like

518
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 1: can you give us a que taking us? Can you

519
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: give us a question? Be can you stay? Can you stay?

520
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: Categorically that nobody now, miss president like, that's not appropriate.

521
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: That is some serious enchantment there. That's the same thing

522
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: my buddy uh so ce and then is now put

523
00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,960
Speaker 1: out a big release. They're desperately trying to distance themselves

524
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 1: from the BuzzFeed report that they went ballistic on yesterday,

525
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: saying both budd BuzzFeed and CNN went public and what

526
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: they're you know, they're going on to say that there's

527
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: a difference. Well, CNN merely said at the President Obama

528
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: Donald Trump were briefed on the summary of the information.

529
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: I watched their coverage, Jake Tapper and his guests. They

530
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 1: were going nuts. It was pure hysteria. My buddy Joe Kancho,

531
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: one of them more honest media critics in the country,

532
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 1: just sent me his column out today. These BuzzFeed reporters

533
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: and editors were fighting back. Tears's Obama gave his farewell

534
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: addressed and he put all the tweets in from the

535
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,800
Speaker 1: BuzzFeed people. Will I ever stop crying? And tears says

536
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 1: another one. I'm sad. This is sad Barack Obama's going home.

537
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: I am so sad. This is the saddest series finale

538
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: ever shown on television. How will I ever stop weeping? Um?

539
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 1: And it goes on from there. Barack's crying, Michelle's crying,

540
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: Malie is crying. I'm crying, and it doesn't end. How

541
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 1: do they go away with us? Did it? Maybe? When

542
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,520
Speaker 1: they talked about hookers and golden showers and knowing Donald

543
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: Trump as a germ folk. Maybe that could have raised

544
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: a little red flag in somebody's mind. They could have

545
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: sourced it. I even I was pretty nice to Bend

546
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: whatever his name is over at BuzzFeed last. I'm trying,

547
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 1: not trying to be a jerk, but these people are

548
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 1: always wrong. You know what they hate. They hate that

549
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 1: I'm always right. I was right about Obama and oh wait,

550
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: do you think I've ever gonna write a report, Oh

551
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: Hannity was right. No, that's never gonna happen. But it's

552
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,600
Speaker 1: more important that I'm right for you, my audience, because

553
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: you're the people I serve. I wrote out today. One

554
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: asked to wonder if Donna Brazilian CNN, both who colluded

555
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 1: with Hillary Clinton, gave the talking points of fake news yesterday.

556
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 1: This was a total beat down of the media today.

557
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: You know, I said to Ben Smith. You know he

558
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 1: put out this big disclaimer after he put out the article,

559
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,240
Speaker 1: and I said, as you've probably seen, we published a

560
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 1: secret tassier making explosive, unverified comments, and he's explaining to

561
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: people why he did. And I said, hey, Ben, I

562
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: verified Michael Cohen was never there. I asked this respectfully,

563
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm being nice. Why didn't you wait? And for all

564
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: the attacks on wiki leaks, they have a ten year

565
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 1: track record of accuracy. They haven't been proven wrong yet.

566
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: If they are, I'll tell you Ben this tweet I said,

567
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 1: seems like a c y a for this article, which

568
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: is that they wrote BuzzFeed is published explosive, secret, unverified

569
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: reports on Trump and Russia. And that's exactly I'll CNN.

570
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I think yesterday media and journalism is dead. We'll get

571
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: New Gingrich's take on that when we get back Michael Cohen,

572
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 1: who became at the center of this. I guess I'm

573
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: the only media person that actually said that, Michael, will

574
00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: you and Prague? No? And then I tweeted his tweet,

575
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 1: retweeted it of his passport, and then all these people started, well,

576
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: just because it's not open Hannity, you idiot, You're so dumb,

577
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 1: and they've they've failed the American people. Journalism will never

578
00:33:31,600 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: be the same, Sean Hannity. Donald Trump's infrastructure plan and

579
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: could create up to eleven million jobs. My only plea

580
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,960
Speaker 1: is make sure we pay for it. We cannot afford

581
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: more debt. I didn't like Republicans and the Congress boosting

582
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: the debt ten what are they doing? Ten trillion dollars?

583
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: Trump says the release of a smear report is a tremendous,

584
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: tremendous blot on the intelligence community. We need some work

585
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:24,520
Speaker 1: the intelligence communities behind with cybersecurity. I've been saying this forever.

586
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: Now maybe they'll listen. Pretty funny story, Sellar invoking the

587
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: Hillary defense and a classified document dispute. We got France's

588
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,360
Speaker 1: anti immigration presidential candidates now surged into the lead, and

589
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: the Black Caucus. The CBC has threatened to kick somebody's

590
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: ass after Duncan Hunter took down the anti cop painting. Wow,

591
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 1: we have more of that. New Engrich is next. Did

592
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:57,000
Speaker 1: you had this morning about are we living in Nazi Germany?

593
00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: What were you driving at there? What are you trying

594
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 1: to tell them? Just graceful, disgraceful that the intelligence agencies

595
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 1: allowed any information that turned out to be so false

596
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 1: and fake out. I think it's a disgrace. And I

597
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: say that, and I say that, and that's something that

598
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: Nazi Germany would have done and did do. I think

599
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:20,760
Speaker 1: it's a disgrace that information that was false and fake

600
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: and never happened got released to the public. As far

601
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 1: as BuzzFeed, which is a failing pilot garbage writing it,

602
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,719
Speaker 1: I think they're going to suffer the consequences they already are.

603
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: And as far as CNN going out of their way

604
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,080
Speaker 1: to build it up. And by the way, we just

605
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: found out I was coming down Michael Kohn. I was

606
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: being Michael Cohn is a very talented lawyer, is a

607
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,400
Speaker 1: good lawyer in my firm, who has just reported that

608
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: it wasn't this Michael Cohne. They were talking about so

609
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: all night long, it's Michael Khan. I said, I want

610
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,280
Speaker 1: to see your passport. He brings his passport to my office.

611
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: I say, hey, wait a minute. He didn't leave the country.

612
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: He wasn't out of the country. They had Michael Cone

613
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: of the Trump organization wasn't Prague. It turned out to

614
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: be a different Michael Cone. It's a disgrace what took place.

615
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: It's a disgrace, and I think they ought to apologize.

616
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 1: To start with, Michael, come, since you're attacking us, can

617
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: you give us a question? Mr Personal liked, Since you

618
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: are attacking chance organization, you are attacking our news organization.

619
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: You give us a chance to question, Sir President elect,

620
00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: go ahead, you stay asking a questions like, can you

621
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 1: give us a queret tacking us? Can you give us

622
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: a question? Don't be you're not going to give you

623
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: and you're not going to give you. Can you stay?

624
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: You are fake news? Can you stay? Categorically that nobody,

625
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: miss President like, that's not appropriate. I am extremely careful.

626
00:36:42,760 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by bodyguards, I'm surrounded by people, and I

627
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: always tell them anywhere, but I always tell them if

628
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 1: I'm leaving this country, be very careful because in your

629
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: hotel rooms and no matter where you go, you're gonna

630
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: probably have cameras. I'm not referring just to Russia, but

631
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: I would say put them in that category. And number one,

632
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:04,879
Speaker 1: I hope you're gonna be good anyway, but in those

633
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 1: rooms you have cameras in the strangest places, cameras that

634
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:12,480
Speaker 1: are so small with modern technology, you can't see them

635
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,399
Speaker 1: and you won't know. You better be careful or you'll

636
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: be watching yourself or nightly television. I tell this to

637
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: people all the time. I was in Russia years ago

638
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: with the MS Universe contest, which did very well. Moscow

639
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: the Moscow area did very, very well, and I told

640
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 1: many people be careful because you don't want to see

641
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,360
Speaker 1: yourself in television cameras all over the place, and again

642
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,880
Speaker 1: not just rush it all over. Does anyone really believe

643
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: that story? I'm also very much of a germophobe. By

644
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: the way. Believe me, I've never seen a press conference

645
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: like that in my entire life. And everything that I

646
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:53,479
Speaker 1: said back in two thousand and eight, journalism is dead.

647
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,800
Speaker 1: Trump probably buried it today at least people's faith and confidence.

648
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,040
Speaker 1: If you didn't, if you didn't feel that journalism was

649
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: dead after this election season where the media, every single

650
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: media outlet was proven to collude with the Hillary Clinton campaign,

651
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: I don't know what else. I don't know what else

652
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: to tell you. Joining us now as former Speaker of

653
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:18,240
Speaker 1: the House, New King Rich, can you remember a single

654
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: time the person that was arguing and shouting at the

655
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 1: President of like was Jim Acosta from CNN and his

656
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:27,760
Speaker 1: last line was, you're not appropriate. Do you ever remember

657
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: Barack Obama ever be treated being treated like this? No?

658
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: What of course Barack Obama is uh, the presses hand

659
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: picks loved candidate. Um. You know there's there's a certain

660
00:38:41,320 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 1: amount of yelling back and forth the Reagan used to

661
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: get into, particularly Sam Donaldson. But I think a couple

662
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:50,920
Speaker 1: of things going on here. One is, you know, Trump

663
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: is deliberately trying to shrink and isolate CNN, and CNN

664
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 1: is working hard to be worthy of that. Um this,

665
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 1: this whole interlude of this, all of our listeners will

666
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: think about this. The so called intelligence leadership happens to

667
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,240
Speaker 1: have a two page document about which we know nothing,

668
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:18,760
Speaker 1: which alleged Trump might have done something which they cannot define.

669
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: And apparently in the only specific fact which has shown up,

670
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 1: the Trump staff person who is allegedly in Prague meeting

671
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: with Russians has never been to progue, has never been

672
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 1: in Czechoslovakia, has never been an e snor. Now, how

673
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 1: hard was it with the CIA, the FBI, the n

674
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: S A, somebody to call this Guyana asking, I mean,

675
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: if these things are not you know, and so what's

676
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: you know? Why? What you're seeing is the collusion of

677
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: the Obama political appointees, in the intelligence community, in the

678
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:56,960
Speaker 1: anti Obama news media trying to create a totally false image.

679
00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 1: And you want to talk about fake news with old

680
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: word for fake NEWSIC hours is propaganda. This is just

681
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 1: pure propaganda, and I think Trump is particularly angry about

682
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:09,800
Speaker 1: it because it is such blatant. By the way, I

683
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,840
Speaker 1: thoughts previous to the great job this morning, do you

684
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 1: see him on the Today's Show? I saw him on

685
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 1: the Today's Show, and I saw him on Fox News.

686
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,799
Speaker 1: I mean it was on fire. He was doing a

687
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,879
Speaker 1: great job, and it was the right job. I mean,

688
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:24,439
Speaker 1: I think when when people go out of their way

689
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,959
Speaker 1: to lie about the next president of States, you owe

690
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: it to them to hit him in the forehead and say,

691
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: are you guys just nuts? We're not going to tolerate this.

692
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: We're not. We're not. We don't have to put up

693
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: with the news media being utterly totally irresponsible and dishonest.

694
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: We can call him out. You know. I was. I

695
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: was with you in and our friendship goes back even

696
00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 1: before then. And I remember how bad it became for

697
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 1: you before you ever became speaker, was sworn in a speaker.

698
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,000
Speaker 1: I mean that that Christmas you were the ging rich

699
00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,480
Speaker 1: that stole Christmas. That Christmas, you were the one that

700
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,400
Speaker 1: was gonna throw Granny off the cliff. You were the

701
00:41:02,440 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: first victim of the Granny over the cliff narrative you're

702
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna and you ended up balancing the budget, uh, creating

703
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: huge economic growth, ending welfare as we know at the

704
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 1: Arab big government. It began to shrink under under your vision,

705
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: and things for the country generally got better. And but

706
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 1: yet you had to go through all of this on

707
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: your own without hardly any help. Well look, that's right.

708
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: But as much as the media and after me, it

709
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:34,320
Speaker 1: was never as hostile um as they have been to

710
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. It is a stunning by the way, I

711
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: have to say, just in passing, I was with Congress

712
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,360
Speaker 1: and Moe Brooks this morning, who occupied your radio slot

713
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 1: for two weeks before you came, before you came to

714
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: Hunts That's true, and we were talking about you this morning.

715
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,480
Speaker 1: I really brought back a lot of memories, uh, basically

716
00:41:55,480 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: a quarter century ago. It was amazing, I believe it

717
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 1: or not. This is my thirty year in radio. That

718
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: was If you can believe that twenty six years ago. Well,

719
00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 1: I just want let me ask you this. Do you

720
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: remember Let's backtrack a little bit here, because we've been

721
00:42:11,960 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: friends for such a long time. Remember when I was

722
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:16,360
Speaker 1: vetting Obama and I was saying about Obama. Wait a

723
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: Minute's something not right here. A guy that under the

724
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: tutelage of Frank Marshall Davis, an avowed communist and and

725
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 1: his o Lynsky disciple worship and a corn activism and

726
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:31,799
Speaker 1: twenty years of black liberation theology in the church at

727
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 1: g D America, but he didn't know anything about Reverend

728
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 1: Wright's real point of view, and starting his political career

729
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:40,760
Speaker 1: in the home of unrepented terrorists. And I was hammering

730
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:42,839
Speaker 1: this and you even thought I was being a little

731
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: too hard. But the media only one time did he

732
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 1: ever get questioned about Bill Ayres. He sat on boards

733
00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: with him, started his political career in his house, he

734
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 1: gave speeches with him, was friends with him. And the

735
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: only question that came to him throughout the entire campaign

736
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: was from George Stefana Bolus and I literally hand fed

737
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 1: it to him the day before a debate, and his

738
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: response was, He's just some guy in the neighborhood. Could

739
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 1: you imagine if Trump had that history and how the

740
00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:15,919
Speaker 1: media would have treated him. Well, I think that since

741
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: the media makes things up about Trump because they can't

742
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 1: find the smoking gun, if they had anything comparable, what

743
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,399
Speaker 1: you're describing for Obama, they would have buried him. I mean,

744
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: this is part of the frustration you're seeing, is that

745
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: these guys are doing everything they can. They're still in

746
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:34,760
Speaker 1: a state of shock. I just gave a speech yesterday

747
00:43:34,800 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: at Heritage. I'm giving a little in tomorrow on the

748
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: meaning of Trump and Trump is hum and all that.

749
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 1: And when you lay this stuff out here, by the way,

750
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:42,640
Speaker 1: you need to put these online. I was talking to

751
00:43:42,719 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 1: Jim de Mint about your series and by the way,

752
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 1: I'm stuck following up on this. I'm like, great, following

753
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 1: new King Rid speaking. That sucks. That's the worst position.

754
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: That is the worst position to ever be put in.

755
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: It was horrible. I'm like really, But and then in

756
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,800
Speaker 1: any event, and they're actually available. That was a compliment,

757
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: you know, fok know what the company was a very

758
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,799
Speaker 1: weird compliment. It was not a weird compliment. I don't

759
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: want to follow you. And when you speak it's like

760
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: I'm dead. But anyway, you know, you're still pretty darn good.

761
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: Actually remember the moin one time. You were brilliant. Anyhow,

762
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:19,000
Speaker 1: here's the deal. Um, what's fascinating is that you have

763
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 1: the media still in a state of trauma. And I

764
00:44:21,280 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: tried to explain in my speech yesterday. Remember all the posters,

765
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: all the consultants, all the left wingers, which is of

766
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 1: course the media, all were convinced until nine or ten

767
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,360
Speaker 1: o'clock Tuesday night one was going to win on the

768
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 1: land side. And all of a sudden, It's just like

769
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: being on the Titanic. I mean, all of a sudden,

770
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 1: they hit this iceberg called the American voters. Their ship

771
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 1: starts sinking. And I think to this day when when

772
00:44:46,640 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: they watched these hearings and they see, you know, Rex Tillerson,

773
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 1: and then they turned and they see uh, you know,

774
00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:56,360
Speaker 1: General Madison. Then they turned and they see General Kelly,

775
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 1: And I mean, just go down the list of people

776
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: who have been you know, they look watch Jeff Sessions

777
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: do a great job yesterday. If you're the left wing

778
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: news media, you're thinking, I've got I must be in

779
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 1: a nightmare. This can't be the real world. How can

780
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: I wake up and get out of this? I think

781
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: that's part of what you see in their treatment of Trump,

782
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:18,920
Speaker 1: is that they are just just literally almost deranged in

783
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: being upset. I wonder where we go from here. Um.

784
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: I know there has been talk and I actually have

785
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:30,440
Speaker 1: suggested it that I think this dog and pony show

786
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 1: interview with the Press secretary every day for the cameras.

787
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest, I think this has to end

788
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: because it's going to get ugly and uglier and uglier

789
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: every day. And you know, Donald Trump has other options.

790
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: He can go directly to the American people Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,

791
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and you'll you'll reach as many if not more people.

792
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,799
Speaker 1: You know, George Washington went up to deliver a State

793
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:58,399
Speaker 1: of the Union and dislike the experience so much that

794
00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:01,279
Speaker 1: every president sent up to stay union and writing until

795
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 1: until Woodrow Wilson, Uh, some you know, hundred and twenty

796
00:46:05,239 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: years later. The Trump has every right as as as

797
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:11,040
Speaker 1: president to interact with the American people anyway he wants to.

798
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: And if he decides to have very few press conferences,

799
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: or if he decides to only have press conferences with

800
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 1: people who represent local press outside of Washington, or if

801
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: he decides to exclude the news channels and and only

802
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:27,560
Speaker 1: be press conferences, you know, people who write for conservative publications,

803
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: and the President States is allowed to set the rules

804
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: he wants to live right now, there are consequences to that, uh,

805
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: And that people decide look or not they think it's

806
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 1: a fair thing or whatever. But I do think that

807
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 1: that there's no reason. One of the lessons I learned

808
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:47,640
Speaker 1: very painfully, I tried doing a regular briefing on camera

809
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 1: for the media, and the rapidly he got to be

810
00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: a game of gotcha, and that that you could tell

811
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: the media we're spending half the morning preparing questions designed

812
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:58,040
Speaker 1: to give the start a fight in the publican party,

813
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: start a fight with the Senate, get me in trouble.

814
00:47:00,840 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: But then then after a few weeks you said it

815
00:47:02,719 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: was two painful, he's couldn't keep doing it. I remember

816
00:47:05,200 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 1: I did an interview and you did this as a

817
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,839
Speaker 1: personal favor to me. Roger Als asked me to fill

818
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: in on a program called Talk Live, and you gave

819
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 1: me an entire hour of Saturday night on CNBC, and

820
00:47:17,440 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 1: that ultimately led to the job that I got at Fox.

821
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:23,759
Speaker 1: I mean, our career, our career paths have crossed backwards

822
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: and bowards over these many years, and our friendship, of

823
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: course has gotten deeper over these years. But I I

824
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: can't believe what you're the historian. There's always been sort

825
00:47:34,239 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 1: of a contentious relationship with the White House and the

826
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,600
Speaker 1: news media. I don't think it's ever been this bad?

827
00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: Has it been? And well, if you're over devising Donald Trump,

828
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 1: what would you tell him to do? Well? I tell

829
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 1: him to break up the whole the whole monopoly game.

830
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: I tell him to redesign the White House Press Room

831
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:55,840
Speaker 1: so that it is tied into Facebook, and it's tied

832
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:59,840
Speaker 1: into the Skype, and it's tied into Twitter and into YouTube.

833
00:48:00,040 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: Would tell him to take the White House Press Corps

834
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: and move them over the old Executive Office building so

835
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 1: that they're not wandering on the White House feeling like

836
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 1: they're just you know, privileged people. I would tell him

837
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 1: to fundamentally change the rotation system they currently have, where

838
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 1: a handful of elite reporters sit in the front row. Uh,

839
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: there are five members of the White House Press Court.

840
00:48:19,920 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 1: I'd rotate all of them through there. I wouldn't. I

841
00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow a handful of people who have the kind

842
00:48:25,040 --> 00:48:27,719
Speaker 1: of arrogance you saw that tread that news statements. I

843
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't let them be you know, the guys who get

844
00:48:30,520 --> 00:48:32,880
Speaker 1: to dominate every day and I say, no, you're gonna

845
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 1: behave like that. You'd like me to be back in

846
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 1: the press room, Oh in April. Does it bother you

847
00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 1: that John McCain is that now admitting he played a

848
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: pretty central role in disseminating these bogus reports by handing

849
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: it over to the FBI in December. No. I think

850
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,400
Speaker 1: if if if I got a report that I didn't

851
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,439
Speaker 1: know whether it was real or not, I would feel

852
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 1: an obligation to turn it over to an appropriate authority.

853
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,440
Speaker 1: That doesn't bother me. And I don't think John went

854
00:48:57,440 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 1: out and spread it. I think he said, you know,

855
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,400
Speaker 1: I got this report and I handed over Well, I

856
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,760
Speaker 1: think I think that is a citizen's duty if you

857
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 1: if you want to cross the report that says so

858
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,760
Speaker 1: and so might be influenced by the Russians or the Chinese,

859
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 1: or the North Koreans or the Iranians, you should turn

860
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 1: it over to the appropriate authority. What what makes me

861
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 1: angry is how does it end up as a two

862
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: page addendum and then get leaked to the news media

863
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 1: when it's all junk. I mean they've had they've had

864
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: all that time. If John gave it to him in December,

865
00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 1: look how many months they've had a year to track

866
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,920
Speaker 1: down and say, you know, this is Bologne which apparently

867
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:31,960
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, just based on the one story

868
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: of the guy who met with the Russians and Prague

869
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,560
Speaker 1: who has never been in Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic.

870
00:49:36,560 --> 00:49:40,320
Speaker 1: Now it is Yeah, that's that is so blatantly stupid. Well,

871
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: Michael Collin's going to join us at the top of

872
00:49:42,440 --> 00:49:45,640
Speaker 1: the next hour. My my monologue on TV tonight, my

873
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 1: opening monologue is gonna be journalism is dead, and I'm

874
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,680
Speaker 1: gonna bring up the history of how it has failed

875
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: the American people. And then of course you're gonna be

876
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: joining us, lower Ingram tonight, Michael Khene tonight. So we'll

877
00:49:55,560 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 1: see then, uh, former Speaker of the House, new King

878
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,880
Speaker 1: which has always and we haven't even gotten other f

879
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,560
Speaker 1: tunder days and it's more interesting than it's ever been.

880
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:07,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. Senator Sessions has not demonstrated a commitment to

881
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: a central requisite of the job to aggressively pursue the

882
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 1: congressional mandate of civil rights, equal rights, and justice for

883
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 1: all of our citizens. In fact, that numerous times in

884
00:50:19,600 --> 00:50:24,160
Speaker 1: his career he has demonstrated a hostility towards these convictions

885
00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,480
Speaker 1: and has worked to frustrate attempts to advance these ideals.

886
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 1: If confirmed, Senator Sessions will be required to pursue justice

887
00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:35,360
Speaker 1: for women, but his record indicates that he won't. He

888
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 1: will be expected to defend the equal rights of gay

889
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 1: and lesbian and transgender Americans, but his record indicates that

890
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,440
Speaker 1: he won't. He will be expected to defend voting rights,

891
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 1: but his record indicates that he won't. He will be

892
00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:51,120
Speaker 1: expected to defend the rights of immigrants and affirm their

893
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: human dignity, but the record indicates that he won't. His

894
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 1: record indicates that his Attorney general, he would object to

895
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: the growing national by heart is in movement towards criminal

896
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 1: justice reform. His record indicates that we cannot count on

897
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 1: him to support state and national efforts towards bringing justice

898
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: to the justice system and people on both sides of

899
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,439
Speaker 1: the aisle who readily admit that the justice system as

900
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,840
Speaker 1: it stands now is biased against the poor, against drug addictive,

901
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:24,919
Speaker 1: against mentally ill, and against people of color. If one

902
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:27,680
Speaker 1: is to be Attorney General, they must be willing to

903
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,879
Speaker 1: continue the Hallow tradition in our country of fighting for

904
00:51:30,920 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: justice for all, for equal justice for civil rights. American

905
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,759
Speaker 1: needs an eternity general who is resolute and determined to

906
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,840
Speaker 1: bend the ark. Senator Sessions record does not speak to

907
00:51:43,840 --> 00:51:47,240
Speaker 1: that desire, intention, or will with all that has taken

908
00:51:47,280 --> 00:51:50,239
Speaker 1: our nation now with an urgent need for healing and

909
00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 1: for love. I pray that my colleagues will join me

910
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 1: in opposing his nomination. This is truly one of my

911
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: life's greatest moments. I am humble to be able to

912
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,680
Speaker 1: part us a pain here and paying tribute to some

913
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 1: of the extraordinary Americans whose footsteps paved the way for

914
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,880
Speaker 1: me and my generation. I feel blessed an honor to

915
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 1: have partnered with Senator Sessions in being the Senate sponsors

916
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: of this important award. Alright, twenty four now till the

917
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: top of the hour one, Shawn, you want to be

918
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,080
Speaker 1: a part of the program watching this unprecedented move. Senators

919
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:28,120
Speaker 1: do not do this to other senators. There's a certain

920
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:33,359
Speaker 1: cordiality that historically has always existed in the United States Senate,

921
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 1: and even as phony as it may happen to be

922
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 1: in real life, but that is how they have run

923
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 1: it up until today. I couldn't help, Linda, do you

924
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 1: get this impression? I couldn't help watching Corey Booker. He's

925
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 1: like I think he thought he was on Broadway, and

926
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 1: he was giving a theatrical performance that he thinks he's

927
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:54,000
Speaker 1: Barack Obama, He's trying to be Barack. That didn't seem

928
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:55,840
Speaker 1: like the Corey Booker, who has, by the way, a

929
00:52:56,000 --> 00:52:58,800
Speaker 1: history of making up a lot of phony malooney stories

930
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:01,760
Speaker 1: about himself, which he will get to later in the program. Anyway,

931
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: Carry Severino was with US Chief Council Policy director of

932
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,880
Speaker 1: the Judicial Crisis Network, Phil Holloway is the founder of

933
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: the Holloway Law Group based in Cobb County in Georgia,

934
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 1: my own, my former hometown, and former prosecutor and police officer.

935
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: Welcome both of you to the program. Carry, did you

936
00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 1: get that same impression that this is Corey Booker auditioning

937
00:53:21,719 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 1: to be the Democratic presidential nominee in Oh yeah, this

938
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:28,120
Speaker 1: his dry run for his stump speech. I mean, he

939
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,040
Speaker 1: was trying to echo I love what you said about

940
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: him being a trying to echo Obama because he was

941
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: totally doing that. He was talking about hope, he was

942
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: using the arc of history language. I mean it was

943
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 1: a little bit egregious, particularly in light of how he

944
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: actually recently sponsored legislation with Center Sessions to give the

945
00:53:44,680 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: Congressional Gold Medal to the marchers in the Selma Civil

946
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: Rights Marchers. He had all sorts of wonderful things to

947
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: say about we gave Yeah, they did that for the

948
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,200
Speaker 1: Selma to Montgomery marchers, the Freedom Writers. They gave it

949
00:53:56,239 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 1: to Rosa Parks. You look at the history of him

950
00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: fighting for voting rights changes to help Black Americans, all

951
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,399
Speaker 1: the prosecutions he was involved in in the clan. I mean,

952
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:08,439
Speaker 1: it's he's the exact opposite of the way they tried

953
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,720
Speaker 1: to portray him, which we went over in great detail

954
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: on Monday. Yeah, and Booker absolutely knows that. He said

955
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 1: he was honored to work with Sessions at legislations, but now,

956
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,839
Speaker 1: of course it's not in his political interest to say that.

957
00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 1: He just it was it was really shameful. He and

958
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,960
Speaker 1: then and then several of the other members of the panel,

959
00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 1: members of Congress Representative Centric Richmond, actually said that because

960
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: their panel was the last one of the day, it

961
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,720
Speaker 1: was like being sent to the back of the bus,

962
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:31,920
Speaker 1: and it was it was really just race baiting and

963
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 1: it's at its ugliest, and that was that was a

964
00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: real shame. It was um. But I have to say

965
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 1: is that the final speakers was really compelling is William Smith,

966
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:41,960
Speaker 1: who was a former Chief Council had worked for Senator

967
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 1: Sessions and was so compelling, also a black man, saying

968
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 1: how how great he was. He said, the Senator really

969
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 1: crushed it. And I think that was it. These hearings

970
00:54:49,560 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 1: overall just shows that there's no question center Sessions is

971
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: going to be confirmed as an next Attorney General. I

972
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: don't think there's any doubt about it. And it was

973
00:54:56,680 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: a foregone conclusion after his testimony yesterday. Didn't think they

974
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: laid a glove on him. Uh, Philip Holloway, did you

975
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: get the impression he was running for president and wants

976
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: to be the Democratic nominee? I did, well, it sure

977
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: sounded like that, Sean, And thanks for having me. And

978
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:14,200
Speaker 1: what else this sounded like is and and of course

979
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,840
Speaker 1: this wasn't a trial in a courtroom, but it's a

980
00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: legal type setting. And what you have here and you

981
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 1: you did a wonderful job of displaying this entire inconsistent

982
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: statement that he's made. And if if this were a

983
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: court of law, on cross examination as a witness, this

984
00:55:29,239 --> 00:55:32,759
Speaker 1: is someone who would be eviscerated on cross examination, would

985
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 1: have zero credibility. So why he was trotted out there

986
00:55:36,920 --> 00:55:39,480
Speaker 1: by the left. To say these things, knowing that he's

987
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: been on record and you've got the audio that you

988
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: played for the audience is beyond me. I can't imagine

989
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: why it would make any sense whatsoever. And when he

990
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: wants to talk about racial division, then then you can

991
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: go all the way back to the very beginnings of

992
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 1: the Obama administration, because one could easily, i think, make

993
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 1: the argument that this divided society if we have one now,

994
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 1: and I think we do certainly, it's in large part

995
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: due to the divisive policies of President Obama and the

996
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,200
Speaker 1: statements that he's made, particularly in the area of criminal

997
00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: justice issues that we've seen during the last eight years.

998
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: You know, my friend Eliana Johnson, who is one of

999
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:18,760
Speaker 1: the few people that I actually like over at National

1000
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,399
Speaker 1: Review Online, and I'm very proud of her. She once

1001
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 1: worked for me on the TV show, and she has

1002
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: done so extraordinarily well and I just think the world

1003
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:29,440
Speaker 1: of her. And she went on to explain this story

1004
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: and all these tall tales that Booker has has been

1005
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 1: telling over the years that turn out not to be true,

1006
00:56:35,560 --> 00:56:38,280
Speaker 1: and one of the central characters in one of Booker's

1007
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 1: stories is about T Bone, and T Bone apparently was

1008
00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: a drug pusher who the mayor said threatened his life

1009
00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 1: at one turn and then sobbed on his shoulder the next. Well,

1010
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:49,880
Speaker 1: it turns out that that was a figment of his imagination,

1011
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: even though Booker has talked about him in very emotional

1012
00:56:53,239 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: terms and in great detail, and he admits he told

1013
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: the story a million times. The Star Ledger picked it

1014
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: up and and she compiled all of the us together,

1015
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: and uh, look, he was a New York City councilman

1016
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 1: and an ally. But anyway, the T Booe T Bone

1017
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 1: story was a fixture in his thumb speech, and there

1018
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:12,880
Speaker 1: weren't many details. Anyway, it turns out that this whole

1019
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: thing ended up being false that I guess this guy

1020
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: is so ambitious as evidence by breaking with senate protocol

1021
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 1: and doing what he did earlier today. And then when

1022
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: he finally got caught on this, he said, well, T

1023
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: Bone was actually a composite of several people he met

1024
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:29,680
Speaker 1: while living in Newark, so he made him up wholesale.

1025
00:57:29,920 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 1: And anyway, when he got caught on it, and you know,

1026
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 1: to me, I mean, I don't understand somebody that needs

1027
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 1: to prop themselves up like this. It's like padding a resume.

1028
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 1: To me, what is your reaction to that? Carry? Yeah,

1029
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean at least the actually existed. Hum. But you know,

1030
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:46,919
Speaker 1: it's it's a good point that these guys also weren't

1031
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: cross examined, because a cross exam would have demolished all

1032
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 1: of these arguments, particularly the last one. And it's funny

1033
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: because I think the last panel didn't have any cross

1034
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 1: examination because you had those members of Congress on there,

1035
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:01,080
Speaker 1: like Senator Brooker, like Representative Lewis and Richmond, and they

1036
00:58:01,120 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: get the collegiality, they get the respect of people not

1037
00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 1: cross examining them, but you know what, they have no

1038
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,320
Speaker 1: respect to be standing up there, And it was really

1039
00:58:09,440 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: re frustrating listening to the kind of slander they were saying.

1040
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,640
Speaker 1: You know, I understand people like Representative Lewis can give

1041
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,920
Speaker 1: these compelling stories of working in the civil rights movement.

1042
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: That's amazing, But then to stand up there and suggest

1043
00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,680
Speaker 1: that a good man like Jeff Sessions is the cause

1044
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:25,440
Speaker 1: of this, I mean is I mean, how do you

1045
00:58:25,440 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: how do you make that case? How do you make

1046
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 1: that case when the guy prosecuted the Klan and was

1047
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: involved in the first case that actually involved civil rights

1048
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 1: and voting rights and fairness for that, but for those

1049
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: that were predominantly being a discriminated against. How do you

1050
00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:43,840
Speaker 1: say that against the guy that worked to create equality.

1051
00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:47,960
Speaker 1: Remember the disparate sentencing laws as related to related to

1052
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: powder and crack cocaine that disproportionately impacted Black Americans. And

1053
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: and he partnered with even Dick Durbin for crying out

1054
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,400
Speaker 1: loud to get that done. Let me ask you this

1055
00:58:57,440 --> 00:59:00,200
Speaker 1: if I can, Philip so. Charles Johnson, writing at The

1056
00:59:00,280 --> 00:59:03,800
Speaker 1: Daily Caller, gives another phony story that Corey Booker Tall

1057
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: told that he tells the story that he entered a

1058
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 1: burning building next to his own property after breaking the

1059
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 1: restraints of a police detective in order to rescue this individual.

1060
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:18,160
Speaker 1: Zena Hodge too was in a fire back in April

1061
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,680
Speaker 1: of twelve, and it got international media attention from New

1062
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 1: York Times, CBS, ABC, Oprah, the New Jersey media. Well,

1063
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: it turns out that you know, in order to rescue Hodge,

1064
00:59:30,200 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: as he said, after breaking the restraints, he claims he

1065
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,320
Speaker 1: threw Hodge over his shoulder and carried her to safety

1066
00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: while sustaining second degree burns on his hand. He goes

1067
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: on Oprah's next chapter to tell the legendary hostess that

1068
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 1: he had a come to Jesus moment in which he

1069
00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: felt he might not survive. The only problem is, according

1070
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: to the people that were there, neighbors and community activists. Uh,

1071
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 1: they said, we don't believe he went in there. I

1072
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 1: don't believe he saved her. I don't believe he pulled

1073
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,480
Speaker 1: her over his shoulder and brought her out. I mean,

1074
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 1: who makes up stories like this unless you have some

1075
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 1: type of severe, you know, inferiority complex or some bizarre

1076
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 1: mental illness. I tell you who makes it up, Sean,

1077
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: It's people who want to pad their own resume as

1078
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:12,200
Speaker 1: people who have a certain particular agenda, in this case,

1079
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 1: perhaps a political agenda. Someone who wants to uh further

1080
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:19,680
Speaker 1: their own interests at the expense of the truth. Um.

1081
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 1: You know you can. You can take a lesson from

1082
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 1: Barack Obama's playbook. Back in two thousand nine when he

1083
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: was he called the Cambridge police and they said they

1084
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: acted stupidly in the incident involving uh, Professor Gates. You

1085
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:38,120
Speaker 1: know that sort of set the tone for I think politicians, um,

1086
01:00:38,200 --> 01:00:41,960
Speaker 1: without knowing all the facts, without being truthful, about the facts,

1087
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: taking to their bully pulpit and saying things to the

1088
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:49,240
Speaker 1: American people that are divisive in nature, and and it

1089
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:53,680
Speaker 1: serves only to further a political agenda. And I think

1090
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: in the case of the Obama administration, wanted to make

1091
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: the argument that it was an intentional decision to create

1092
01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: a racial divide, even though he wants to now claim

1093
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:07,960
Speaker 1: that we are more racially unified than ever under his administration. No,

1094
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 1: let me move on if I can, And I want

1095
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,480
Speaker 1: to ask you both about the president's I thought this

1096
01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: was a shameless act of self promotion last night. And

1097
01:01:16,440 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: how sad it is he didn't have any real accomplishments

1098
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 1: he can speak of. And what a lot of people

1099
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 1: don't seem to understand yet in the country is within

1100
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,320
Speaker 1: the first hours of a Trump administration, all the executive

1101
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: orders because he didn't want to fight through Congress and

1102
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:34,160
Speaker 1: he doesn't believe in separation of powers and coequal branches

1103
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:36,640
Speaker 1: of government, so he ruled through executive FIAT. Well, the

1104
01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: problem with with governing that way is all of this

1105
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,439
Speaker 1: will be undone in the first few hours of Donald

1106
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: Trump's administration, and Obamacare will be repealed and replaced at

1107
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the same time, which I'm glad Donald Trump pushed for.

1108
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: But here is the real record, and I I brought

1109
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: it up yesterday here, and I brought it up on

1110
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: TV last night. He will leave office with twenty trillion

1111
01:01:55,160 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 1: dollars in debt. He will have accumulated more debt than

1112
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: every other president before him combined. His regulation paperwork is

1113
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty three million hours. His payment to

1114
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 1: a ran in the hostage deal and the bribery deal

1115
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:12,440
Speaker 1: one point five billion dollars. His Criminal Aliens Act or

1116
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:16,280
Speaker 1: Criminal Illegal Aliens Released or eighty six thousand, two hundred

1117
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: and eighty eight just in a two year period from

1118
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,360
Speaker 1: fifteen the new Federal Regulations final license he took office

1119
01:02:24,400 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 1: two thousand, nine hundred and eighty eight. The average increase

1120
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: in college costs nearly five thousand dollars at five at

1121
01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:34,040
Speaker 1: four year public colleges. And if you're a Democrat, you

1122
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:37,600
Speaker 1: lost the presidency, thirteen Senate seat, sixty four House seats,

1123
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: thirteen governorships, and thirty three state houses. That is not

1124
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: a record to be proud of. So then is that

1125
01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: the reason he went to the issue of race as

1126
01:02:45,360 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 1: hard as he did last night? How do you explain

1127
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 1: what he was saying about race last night when race

1128
01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: relations got worse, relations absolutely did get work. I mentioned

1129
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,320
Speaker 1: the incident in Cambridge. Go forward just a few years

1130
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 1: later to the incident involving Trayvon Martin. Of course, you know, georgie'

1131
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: m was I'm not guilty. But before an investigation was

1132
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:04,920
Speaker 1: even done, President Obama ways in and says, if I

1133
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 1: had a son, he would look like Travon. And so

1134
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:11,920
Speaker 1: he basically of time and time and time again, even

1135
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 1: going up to the Ferguson situation, which of course you know,

1136
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 1: led to widespread rioting. He says things without investigating, without

1137
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: knowing the facts, He creates division, and then has the

1138
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: audacity to go on national television and say that race

1139
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 1: relations under his administration are much better than they than

1140
01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:32,760
Speaker 1: they have been. I think twenty years is what he

1141
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 1: said to George Stephanopolis just a couple of days ago. Um.

1142
01:03:35,640 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: So it just it just defies all credibility. And then

1143
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: you could even talk about you know, you listed a

1144
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: long laundry list of mind I was trying to keep up.

1145
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I've got a list that includes most of that. But

1146
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 1: you've got the boat Burke Doff situation, swapping for the

1147
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Taliban five and and and all sorts of other things.

1148
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 1: He's alien and I haven't even mentioned I haven't mentioned

1149
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: Iran and China and North Korea and the Russian reset

1150
01:03:56,280 --> 01:04:00,080
Speaker 1: in Benghazi, and Egypt and Iraq, Afghanistan and Syries. You.

1151
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not a single place in the world

1152
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 1: that's better off. But I've got to let you both

1153
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:06,200
Speaker 1: go carry Thank you, Philip, thank you. We appreciate it.

1154
01:04:06,240 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 1: News Roundup and Information Overload. Michael Cohne was not in Prague.

1155
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:13,880
Speaker 1: It turns out it's another Michael Cohn. Journalism is dead

1156
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: and Donald Trump buried it earlier today. And what I

1157
01:04:16,800 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 1: thought was one of the best press conferences I've ever

1158
01:04:19,440 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 1: seen in my life. He eviscerated them. And it wasn't hard.

1159
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 1: You had this morning about are we living in Nazi Germany?

1160
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: What were you driving at there? What are you trying

1161
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: to tell them? I think it was disgraceful, disgraceful that

1162
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: the intelligence agencies allowed any information that turned out to

1163
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,840
Speaker 1: be so false and fake out. I think it's a disgrace.

1164
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,880
Speaker 1: And I say that and that's something that Nazi Germany

1165
01:04:39,960 --> 01:04:41,920
Speaker 1: would have done and did do. I think it's a

1166
01:04:41,960 --> 01:04:46,200
Speaker 1: disgrace that information that was false and fake and never

1167
01:04:46,280 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: happened got released to the public. As far as BuzzFeed,

1168
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,880
Speaker 1: which is a failing pilot garbage writing it, I think

1169
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna suffer the consequences they already are. And as

1170
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,720
Speaker 1: far as CNN going out of their way to build

1171
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 1: it up. And by the way, we just found out

1172
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: I was coming down Michael Cohne. I was being Michael

1173
01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 1: Cohone is a very talented lawyer, is a good lawyer

1174
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 1: in my firm, who has just reported that it wasn't

1175
01:05:07,840 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: this Michael Cohen. They were talking about so all night long,

1176
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:13,280
Speaker 1: it's Michael Cone. I said, I want to see your passport.

1177
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:16,000
Speaker 1: He brings his passport to my office. I say, hey,

1178
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 1: wait a minute. He didn't leave the country. He wasn't

1179
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:20,600
Speaker 1: out of the country. They had Michael Cone of the

1180
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: Trump organization wasn't Prague. It turned out to be a

1181
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:26,480
Speaker 1: different Michael Cohne. It's a disgrace what took place. It's

1182
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 1: a disgrace, and I think they ought to apologize. To

1183
01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 1: start with, Michael Coin, since you're attacking us, can you

1184
01:05:32,080 --> 01:05:36,720
Speaker 1: give us a question, Mr? Personal electient, Since you are

1185
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 1: attacking us a chance organization. You are attacking our news organization.

1186
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: You give us a chance to get your question circle,

1187
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:48,640
Speaker 1: sir and this president elect, and you stay asking a question,

1188
01:05:48,640 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 1: no persid like, can you give us an taking us?

1189
01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:55,000
Speaker 1: Can you give us a question? Don't be I'm you're

1190
01:05:55,000 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 1: not going to give you. Can you stay? You are

1191
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 1: fake news? Sir? Can you stay? Categorically that nobody now

1192
01:06:01,360 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: ms president like Mr President like, that's not appropriate. That

1193
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:09,840
Speaker 1: was Jim A. Costa at CNN. And it is fake news.

1194
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 1: There's no corroboration. And and this I said in OH

1195
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:19,440
Speaker 1: eight repeatedly because the media never covered Barack Obama's radical

1196
01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:23,680
Speaker 1: and extremist background with Acorn and being a disciple of

1197
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:27,120
Speaker 1: Olynsky and Frank Marshall Davis really twenty years in the

1198
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: pulpit and the pews of of the pulpit of g

1199
01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:34,440
Speaker 1: D America and Pastor Reverend Wright hating America but he

1200
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: didn't know and starting his political career in the home

1201
01:06:37,720 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: of an unrepentent terrorist. He only got asked about that

1202
01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,120
Speaker 1: one time, one time, Barack Obama and OH eight, and

1203
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: I said journalism is dead in O eight And today

1204
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:51,040
Speaker 1: Donald J. Trump buried it because there's no honesty, no truthfulness,

1205
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 1: no integrity whatsoever. Michael Khen is in studio with us.

1206
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 1: He's an executive vice president, special counsel to Donald J.

1207
01:06:57,320 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 1: Trump and also, full disclosure, a personal friend of mine.

1208
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: Long before this election ever started, I retweeted, well, there

1209
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:06,320
Speaker 1: goes my reputation now, shoan if it, if it couldn't

1210
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 1: have been worse as a result of this fake you

1211
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 1: gotta start, You gotta started right away. You know, I'm

1212
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,760
Speaker 1: feeling really good now thanks to Mr Trump. Uh. You

1213
01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: know there's that old expression where do you go to

1214
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:20,240
Speaker 1: get your reputation back? You go to Donald Trump, who

1215
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: then has a press conference in front of the entire

1216
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: world who was watching it. And he turns around and

1217
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 1: he tells CNN, who did a disgraceful thing, not just

1218
01:07:28,720 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 1: to Mr Trump but to me as well, that they

1219
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 1: owe all of us in apology, They owe the American

1220
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 1: people in apology. You know, you're mostly a behind the

1221
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: scenes guy, but you did come out and do interviews

1222
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 1: this election season. And I know it's not your first love,

1223
01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: because you work for Donald Trump all these years behind

1224
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: the scenes, and I know the type of person you are.

1225
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 1: You roll up your sleeves. Every day you go to work,

1226
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 1: you do your fourteen sixteen hours a day, and you

1227
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,120
Speaker 1: go home and there's a lot of work to do

1228
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:54,680
Speaker 1: at home. Interesting because there's a tremendous number of people,

1229
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 1: even before the campaign, that come after Donald Trump for

1230
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 1: whatever the reason. Maybe I feel very loyal to him,

1231
01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: to the company, to the children, Milanna, and I gotta

1232
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 1: be honest with you. It needs to stop. The man

1233
01:08:06,600 --> 01:08:10,360
Speaker 1: won the election. Let him be the great Donald Trump

1234
01:08:10,400 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: President of the United States of America that he will be.

1235
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,520
Speaker 1: This actually hurts you. I'm looking at you, and I

1236
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,759
Speaker 1: know you so well. This this affects you. This affected

1237
01:08:18,800 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 1: you well because it doesn't affect me personally, but it

1238
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,240
Speaker 1: affects me now because it affected my wife, my children,

1239
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,960
Speaker 1: my in laws. And it's based on fake news. They

1240
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: did it in order to create a salacious story that

1241
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: they can run with over and over and over again.

1242
01:08:36,400 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 1: I mean breaking news. Michael Cohen in Prague with Kremlin

1243
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 1: gso agents. Well, shouldn't somebody have at least called me

1244
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: and asked me, were you ever in Prague? Because the

1245
01:08:47,960 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: answer is no. Well, last night while I checked with you,

1246
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: and then I saw your tweet and then I retweeted

1247
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 1: your passport and then all of these news people I

1248
01:08:56,720 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: went on. I went back later and I looked at

1249
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,719
Speaker 1: what some of the comments were, Well, the passport's not open, Hannity,

1250
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,880
Speaker 1: and I'm like, okay, but it's been confirmed by Michael

1251
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: Cohen and I've known him for years. Then I happen

1252
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:10,160
Speaker 1: to know where you are because we went over the date.

1253
01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 1: Because your son is a top recruit in Major League Baseball.

1254
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,880
Speaker 1: He's a pitcher. He's tried out for the Yankees, the Mets.

1255
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't want to tell all the teams. You were

1256
01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: out in Los Angeles and he was in a tryout,

1257
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 1: that's correct. He was meeting with a baseball coach. And

1258
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,000
Speaker 1: you have sent me many videos of your son pitching,

1259
01:09:25,040 --> 01:09:27,439
Speaker 1: and he's an amazing picture, talented picture. And you spent

1260
01:09:27,479 --> 01:09:29,040
Speaker 1: a lot of time, as much free time as you

1261
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 1: have with him. And you were out there on the

1262
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 1: at the given time you were supposed to be in Prague.

1263
01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,920
Speaker 1: It happened to also be my fiftieth birthday, and my

1264
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: daughter was already out there with some friends, so instead

1265
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: of having her come back and we needed to go

1266
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: to the school. And wanted to me because he's only

1267
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: my son's only seventeen UM junior in school. So we

1268
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: went out there, and I have a thousand friends that

1269
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:52,360
Speaker 1: live in l A. So all of a sudden, now

1270
01:09:52,400 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 1: at this time, I'm in Prague and I'm saying, if

1271
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,760
Speaker 1: they would have called me, I would have explained to

1272
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: them I've never been to Progress. I've also never been

1273
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 1: to Russia. I don't I don't mean to laugh, but

1274
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,200
Speaker 1: I mean, it's got to be a little disconcerting. And

1275
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,360
Speaker 1: then then when it came out this morning, Oh, that

1276
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:12,519
Speaker 1: was what a shocker that there's another Michael Cohen. Can

1277
01:10:12,880 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: can a Michael Cohen who's listening to your show right now? Calling? Right?

1278
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: I told you this before. One of my best friends

1279
01:10:18,960 --> 01:10:21,879
Speaker 1: growing up was named Michael Cone. It's what a shocker,

1280
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:24,600
Speaker 1: what a shock. I've never heard that name before. It's

1281
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 1: so uncommon. You know, I'm sure you had a lot

1282
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: of Sean Hannity friends. Uh No, I didn't know. You

1283
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,000
Speaker 1: don't even have one. Now I'm trying to get rid

1284
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:35,400
Speaker 1: of you. I bet you will. You have been, in

1285
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,880
Speaker 1: all fairness, you have been a beacon for Mr Trump

1286
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 1: for the campaign, and it's very rare that people thank you.

1287
01:10:42,160 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: Um because everybody is so busy, especially now in the transition.

1288
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:48,280
Speaker 1: But on behalf of obviously Mr Trump, the campaign myself,

1289
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: you actually deserve a thank you, and I don't. American

1290
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,479
Speaker 1: is going to thank you after Donald Trump proves to

1291
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:57,639
Speaker 1: be the great president that he's going to be. Number One,

1292
01:10:57,640 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 1: I made a promise to my audience and I kept

1293
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:02,960
Speaker 1: my promise. And number two, Michael, in spite of what

1294
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,479
Speaker 1: people think and write about me, Um, I'm a guy

1295
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,639
Speaker 1: that two decades of my life did blue collar work,

1296
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 1: and I remember where I come from, and I have

1297
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: a belief in God. And I could tell you that

1298
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 1: the agenda that he's proposing originalists on the court, vetting refugees, repatriation,

1299
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:21,360
Speaker 1: money coming back from multinational corporations at a low rate,

1300
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: energy and dependence seven brackets to three or fifteen percent

1301
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: corporate rate one of the lowest in the industrialized world

1302
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:30,640
Speaker 1: versus one of the highest. And energy independence and education

1303
01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,679
Speaker 1: back to the States, and protecting our borders, and having

1304
01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: a foreign policy that's built on predicated on strength, and

1305
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 1: don't forget about rebuilding the inner cities. Look it behind you,

1306
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: they see the Conservative solution Caucus. That's let's also not

1307
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: forget about rebuilding the inner cities. But you, by the

1308
01:11:47,720 --> 01:11:50,679
Speaker 1: way you introduced me to Pastor Daryl Scott has become

1309
01:11:50,720 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: one of my best friends. That's correct with that. That's

1310
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: the type of person that Daryl is. Darrel Inven had

1311
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:00,200
Speaker 1: a big meeting UM that was put together by even Um,

1312
01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 1: by evangelists PAULA White as well Dr Creflo Dollar and others.

1313
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: Together the diversity coalition you built, we have over twelve

1314
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: million people and with the recent now edition of a

1315
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,320
Speaker 1: gentleman that was no fan of Mr Trump's initially Javia

1316
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:18,479
Speaker 1: Palomara's from the U sah c C the United States

1317
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:22,040
Speaker 1: Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, and I gave him my commitment

1318
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 1: that this administration wants to work with everyone. What's the goal.

1319
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,400
Speaker 1: Mr Trump's goal to win, as always to win. But

1320
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 1: Mr Trump's goal is to do whatever is necessary to

1321
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:37,640
Speaker 1: make America grade again, to put Americans first, and that

1322
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: includes Hispanics, it includes African Americans, it includes Sikhs and Muslims.

1323
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 1: Donald Trump has no animus towards anyone and that was

1324
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,880
Speaker 1: the basis of what the National Diversity Coalition for Trump

1325
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: was all about. And we are now over twelve million strong.

1326
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: And growing every day. Is there anybody that you know of,

1327
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 1: possibly within the campaign or around Donald Trump or maybe

1328
01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 1: at the third, fourth, fifth, sixth level down that you

1329
01:13:03,560 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 1: that anybody knows talk to anybody in Russia. No, there's

1330
01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 1: no relationship. The last time that there was any activity

1331
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: between the Trump organization actually really wasn't even the Trump organization.

1332
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,799
Speaker 1: It was the Miss Universe pageant was held in mosque

1333
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: As six years ago, A long time ago, six years ago.

1334
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:22,479
Speaker 1: What do you make of And you and I had

1335
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 1: a private You know that you know the reason, Shan

1336
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 1: why they did it, because the whole hacking issue was

1337
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 1: coming to arrest. Kelly in Conway was fabulous, and Sean Spicer,

1338
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 1: another fantastic guy, put this whole nonsense to bed. And

1339
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,680
Speaker 1: they don't want it to go to bed. So how

1340
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,280
Speaker 1: do you bring it back to life? You recreate a

1341
01:13:39,479 --> 01:13:42,639
Speaker 1: relationship between Mr Trump and Putin and then you create

1342
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,559
Speaker 1: some sort of salacious story which reads like a Bed

1343
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 1: the Americans episode and you run with it, which is

1344
01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: exactly what CNN did. And I'll say it a thousand

1345
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 1: times from Jeff Zucker all the way to um you know,

1346
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 1: to you name it, whichever host host is doing it.

1347
01:13:57,320 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: They owe Mr Trump an apology, They owe my fair

1348
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 1: emily and apology, and they know the American people and

1349
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,320
Speaker 1: apology and your listeners should demand it. I agree, but

1350
01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,639
Speaker 1: I wouldn't hold your breath because that's not how these

1351
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 1: news organizations work. They doubled down on stupid. That tends

1352
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:14,120
Speaker 1: to be the trend that we see, and you never leaks.

1353
01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:15,880
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of people were upset that I

1354
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: actually went to London and the Ecuadorian embassy and I

1355
01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,160
Speaker 1: interviewed Julian Ossange and I asked him, point Blake, did

1356
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: you ever talk to Donald Trump? No, any surrogate of

1357
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump's. No, did you ever talk to Vladimir Putin? No?

1358
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,760
Speaker 1: Do you ever talked to anybody else? No that's associated

1359
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:32,959
Speaker 1: with Putin? Now, all I can do is ask the questions,

1360
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,680
Speaker 1: and that at least that gives people information and an

1361
01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:39,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to decide for themselves. And wiki leaks has never

1362
01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 1: been wrong in ten years. BuzzFeed was wrong yesterday, and

1363
01:14:42,200 --> 01:14:45,080
Speaker 1: CNN was wrong yesterday. Yes, and they've been wrong throughout

1364
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 1: the entire campaign. And it's not the first time that

1365
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 1: CNN has done this. From my collusion, what do you

1366
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 1: make of the collusion. We discovered how they betrayed Bernie Sanders,

1367
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,719
Speaker 1: how questions were given the Hillary before town halls and debates,

1368
01:14:58,880 --> 01:15:03,360
Speaker 1: how the media from New York Times, Political, ABCNBCCBS, CNN

1369
01:15:03,400 --> 01:15:06,320
Speaker 1: and all these big news organizations, with the exclusion of Fox.

1370
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,639
Speaker 1: He could you imagine if I ever gave Donald Trump

1371
01:15:08,760 --> 01:15:11,840
Speaker 1: questions before an interview with him, even though I'm I'm

1372
01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: a partisan, I'm somebody that gives my opinion. They would

1373
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,639
Speaker 1: go nuts. Of course, they would go nuts because it's

1374
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,559
Speaker 1: not what they want. They only see it the way

1375
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: that they want to see it. There's no rational reason

1376
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 1: for giving somebody a question in advance to a debate.

1377
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:30,080
Speaker 1: You ruin the purpose of a debate. And it's unfair.

1378
01:15:30,200 --> 01:15:33,519
Speaker 1: And this is as just one example amongst many of

1379
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: CNN and the Democratic Party's failure. The American people see

1380
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: this failure, and it's why Donald Trump won in a

1381
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: landslide victory. Let me ask you this, Ben Smith of BuzzFeed,

1382
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:46,240
Speaker 1: and I tweeted out last night. I said, this isn't

1383
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 1: gonna end well for CNN. I said, hashtag CNN epic fail.

1384
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,360
Speaker 1: Did you see that ethan anyway? Buzz Well as you've

1385
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: probably seen this evening. This is Ben Smith. We published

1386
01:15:55,280 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 1: a secret, secret dossier making explosive, unverified allegations about Donald

1387
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: Trump in Russia. I want to briefly explain to you

1388
01:16:02,400 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: how he made the decision of publish it. We published it,

1389
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:09,120
Speaker 1: which Ken Benzinger obtained through characteristically ferocious reporting, so that,

1390
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: as we wrote, Americans can make up their own mind.

1391
01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Don't they have an obligation to vet the material, especially

1392
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: if it includes such salacious information about prostitutes. And I'll

1393
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:25,719
Speaker 1: use the words and the dossier golden showers for crying

1394
01:16:25,720 --> 01:16:27,559
Speaker 1: out loud. Personally, I would have liked to have seen

1395
01:16:27,640 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 1: Mr Trump give out golden showerheads to the press today

1396
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 1: after me. I thought that would have been classic. I

1397
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: think he gave a pretty big beat down. Let me

1398
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: tell you, he sure didn't. Good for Mr Trump. It's

1399
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:39,680
Speaker 1: why I love the man as much as I do

1400
01:16:39,760 --> 01:16:41,800
Speaker 1: and why I respect him the way I do. This

1401
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: man doesn't back down to anyone. He's not going to

1402
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: back down to government leaders. He's not going to back

1403
01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 1: down to pressure him. Why should they. He's going to

1404
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:53,120
Speaker 1: charge through to get his agenda done, and it's gonna

1405
01:16:53,120 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 1: put money in the pockets of every American. He's gonna

1406
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:58,080
Speaker 1: rebuild the economy. He's gonna bring jobs back. He's gonna

1407
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: look repatriation. As you talked about energy independence, for peeling,

1408
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 1: replacing Obama. By the way, these are all terrible, terrible things, right,

1409
01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 1: these are terrible things for America. We should be energy

1410
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 1: energy dependent. Right. We should allow the Middle East to

1411
01:17:13,640 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: continue to sky you know, skyrocket prices of oil so

1412
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: that they can get rich that we can end up

1413
01:17:19,640 --> 01:17:21,840
Speaker 1: going broke, which is exactly what were We should be

1414
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: protecting the whole world free of charge. Donald Trump thinks

1415
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: like what he is. He's an amazing businessman. He has

1416
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: a mind which is very different than that of the

1417
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,559
Speaker 1: standard politician. And he is done. It's why he ran.

1418
01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:36,280
Speaker 1: He said, I can actually fix this country. I know

1419
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. And as we learned today, he's giving

1420
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,960
Speaker 1: up a lot of money. He sure is a lot

1421
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 1: of money. And you would know more of the detail.

1422
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 1: Let me tell you once the name of that guy

1423
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: that he was going to do the two billion dollar

1424
01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: deal with. I'll take it sure, because he wants to

1425
01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: open up a Hannity hotel. Bring your own towels and soap,

1426
01:17:52,560 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: and bring and brings us some bring some shampoo from

1427
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 1: somebody else's hotel. I can only imagine the abusive comments

1428
01:17:59,280 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 1: I get if I was a CNN host right now.

1429
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: You're though, I do have to say I saw a

1430
01:18:05,080 --> 01:18:08,280
Speaker 1: segment Jake Tapper did where he argued on behalf that

1431
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:10,679
Speaker 1: this is wrong and that they were I wasn't doing

1432
01:18:10,680 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 1: it yesterday. I know that he was not. No, he was.

1433
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,800
Speaker 1: He was full hysteria moode yesterday. He's covering his ass today. Well,

1434
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,759
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm thankful that at least he's covering today,

1435
01:18:19,880 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 1: you know what, at least somebody seeing there's no excuse

1436
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 1: for what they did see and N put out a

1437
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:28,360
Speaker 1: statement today I was disgusting. Listen, I'm gonna send you

1438
01:18:28,400 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 1: in my pillow because I know you. You you didn't

1439
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 1: sleep an hour last night? Did you know? Again? Because

1440
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I know you, And it's not because of the attacks

1441
01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 1: on me. I have very thick skin, and it's not sure,

1442
01:18:39,640 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 1: and it's it's wrong to do to somebody else's family.

1443
01:18:43,080 --> 01:18:45,240
Speaker 1: So Michaelendel is the inventor of my pillow, and he's

1444
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:48,080
Speaker 1: a personal friend of mine. I have insomnia. I've I've

1445
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:50,040
Speaker 1: spoken to you. I think at three in the morning before.

1446
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:52,360
Speaker 1: But anyway, so since I got my pillow, I do

1447
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,080
Speaker 1: fall asleep faster, I stay asleep longer. I am gonna

1448
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: mail to my pillows to your house so you can

1449
01:18:57,360 --> 01:18:59,519
Speaker 1: get some rest. You look pretty stressed out after a

1450
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 1: night and no sleep. We do appreciate and you know what,

1451
01:19:01,840 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 1: what what I can actually use those pillows. And I'm

1452
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: gonna tell you why, because I have lost a lot

1453
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:08,000
Speaker 1: of sleep and I continue to lose a lot of

1454
01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 1: sleep because my mind can't shut down. I'm looking to

1455
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 1: see the things that they've done over the course of

1456
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:16,920
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks or the last hours, and

1457
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm concerned that they're going to continue this nonsense once

1458
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: Mr Trump is an ay and we have discussed this.

1459
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 1: They are going to try to destroy Donald Trump. And

1460
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:27,040
Speaker 1: there's no no other words that need to be spent.

1461

Speaker 1: I'm going to make this statement to your audience. There's

1462

1484
01:20:22,400 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 1: much when we come back wide open telephones here on

1485
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:28,519
Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Show. On that intelligence report that the

1486
01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 1: second part of Their conclusion was that Vladimir Putin ordered

1487
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,240
Speaker 1: it because he aspired to help you in the election.

1488
01:20:34,280 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: Do you accept that part of the finding? And will

1489
01:20:36,600 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: you undo what President Obama did to punish the Russians

1490
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:43,160
Speaker 1: for this and keep it? If pudent likes Donald Trump,

1491
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,880
Speaker 1: I consider that an asset, not a liability, because we

1492
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:50,360
Speaker 1: have a horrible relationship with Russian Russia can help us

1493
01:20:50,400 --> 01:20:53,600
Speaker 1: fight ISIS, which by the way, is number one tricky.

1494
01:20:53,880 --> 01:20:57,720
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look, this administration created ISIS by

1495
01:20:57,800 --> 01:21:01,639
Speaker 1: leaving at the wrong time. The void was created, ISIS

1496
01:21:01,720 --> 01:21:06,439
Speaker 1: was formed. If Putin likes Donald Trump, Guess what, folks,

1497
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:09,840
Speaker 1: That's called an asset, not a liability. Now, I don't

1498
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: know that I'm going to get along with Vladimir Putin.

1499
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: I hope I do, but there's a good chance I won't.

1500
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,519
Speaker 1: And if I don't, do you honestly believe that Hillary

1501
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:23,360
Speaker 1: would be tougher on Putin than me? Does anybody in

1502
01:21:23,400 --> 01:21:26,680
Speaker 1: this room really believe that? Give me a break. If

1503
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 1: you indeed do believe that Russia wasn't behind the hacking,

1504
01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,120
Speaker 1: what is your message to Vladimir Putin? Right now? He

1505
01:21:32,160 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: shouldn't be doing it. He won't be doing it. Russia

1506
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:39,920
Speaker 1: will have much greater respect for our country when I'm

1507
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,360
Speaker 1: leading it than when other people have led it. You

1508
01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:47,160
Speaker 1: will see that Russia will respect our country more. He

1509
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:49,559
Speaker 1: shouldn't have done it. I don't believe he'll be doing

1510
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 1: it more. Now we have to work something out. But

1511
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,799
Speaker 1: it's not just Russia. Take a look at what's happened.

1512
01:21:54,800 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 1: You don't report it the same way. Twenty two million

1513
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,559
Speaker 1: accounts were hacked in this country China, and that's because

1514
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,479
Speaker 1: we have no defense. That's because we're run by people

1515
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,599
Speaker 1: that don't know what they're doing. Russia will have far

1516
01:22:07,720 --> 01:22:11,160
Speaker 1: greater respect for our country when I'm leading it, And

1517
01:22:11,200 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: I believe, and I hope, maybe it won't happen. It's possible,

1518
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 1: but I won't be given a little reset button like

1519
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,559
Speaker 1: Hillary here Pressley's piece of plastic. I looked at her, like,

1520
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,040
Speaker 1: what is she doing? There's no reset? But we're either

1521
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,640
Speaker 1: going to get along or what not. I hope we

1522
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: get along, but if we don't, that's possible too. Does

1523
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 1: anybody in this room believe that Hillary Clinton would be

1524
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: tougher on Rusher than me. I've got to admit it

1525
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:40,679
Speaker 1: was the most entertaining and it was probably the biggest

1526
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:44,040
Speaker 1: beat public beat down of the mainstream media. You've got

1527
01:22:44,160 --> 01:22:48,240
Speaker 1: Jim Acosta. CNN is now trying to publish a statement

1528
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 1: distancing themselves from the entire BuzzFeed report. You know, especially

1529
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,200
Speaker 1: the headline on Drudge All Day is a picture of

1530
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:02,639
Speaker 1: CNN you are fake news. Well, BuzzFeed and CNN when

1531
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:06,080
Speaker 1: public with these reports that a British intelligence official had

1532
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,960
Speaker 1: compiled memos. By the way, the beginning and the hiring

1533
01:23:09,120 --> 01:23:14,000
Speaker 1: started in the primary process with Republicans doing op research

1534
01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: on Donald Trump, and then it was picked up by

1535
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,599
Speaker 1: the Democratic Party doing op research on Donald Trump. That's

1536
01:23:20,600 --> 01:23:23,160
Speaker 1: where it all came from. And none of it has

1537
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: been confirmed, and it says it hasn't been confirmed. And

1538
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:30,680
Speaker 1: I actually tweeted out last night and I thought I

1539
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:34,600
Speaker 1: was being very respectful, probably more than maybe I should be,

1540
01:23:34,600 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: and I was trying to be very respectful to Ben Smith,

1541
01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: who's over at BuzzFeed, and my my message to him

1542
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,639
Speaker 1: was was kind of pretty simple, and that is Ben

1543
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:48,639
Speaker 1: verified Michael Cone because I talked to Michael Cohen. Michael

1544
01:23:48,640 --> 01:23:51,080
Speaker 1: Cohen is a friend of mine. Michael Cohen put out

1545
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 1: his press release was never there, and I asked this respectfully,

1546
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,320
Speaker 1: is what I said into it. I asked this respectfully,

1547
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:00,640
Speaker 1: why not wait till you confirm before you published? And

1548
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 1: for all the attacks on wiki leaks, they have ten

1549
01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,320
Speaker 1: years of accuracy without a single incident of them being

1550
01:24:07,360 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 1: proven wrong. Hannity, you once said wiki leaks and Julian

1551
01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 1: is I know. I've dealt with it with him a

1552
01:24:12,400 --> 01:24:15,719
Speaker 1: hundred times I have. Does that mean I trust Russia?

1553
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:19,240
Speaker 1: Hell no, China hell no, Putin Hell no, I ran

1554
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: North Korea. No, They're all hacking us. And that's why

1555
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,840
Speaker 1: I've gone through every government agency. And I was glad

1556
01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:29,200
Speaker 1: to see Donald Trump mentioned the Office of Personnel Management

1557
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: because that happened in where they got Laura Ingram, John

1558
01:24:34,720 --> 01:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gillham's Pete, friends of mine, Ron Christie, all friends

1559
01:24:40,439 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 1: of mine, all their information was hacked. Twenty two million Americans,

1560
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:48,400
Speaker 1: and not a single thing was said by President Obama.

1561
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:52,000
Speaker 1: The White House hacked, not a single thing said by Obama.

1562
01:24:52,560 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 1: The State Department hacked, the Department of Justice hacked, even

1563
01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,960
Speaker 1: the Postal Service and the I r S. Basically every

1564
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: government agency had been hacked, every single one. Wiki Leaks

1565
01:25:04,160 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 1: has been reporting for ten years now at some point,

1566
01:25:06,360 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: when do you say that it's the fault of our

1567
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:14,479
Speaker 1: government for not defending government websites and Obama hasn't done

1568
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:19,760
Speaker 1: a thing, you know. And and Ben Smith over at BuzzFeed, well,

1569
01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,280
Speaker 1: he says, here's the note I sent to BuzzFeed and

1570
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:25,600
Speaker 1: the staff this evening, and why we just decided to

1571
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:31,759
Speaker 1: reveal the secret tassier and the explosive, unverified allegations about

1572
01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Donald Trump and Russia. Really hookers in a rich Carlton

1573
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:41,480
Speaker 1: in Moscow or wherever the hell it was, and golden showers.

1574
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:46,360
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Donald Trump, the germ folbe might have given

1575
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:50,280
Speaker 1: you a little bit of hesitancy there, and you can't

1576
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:54,479
Speaker 1: verify it, and you're just gonna throw it out there now.

1577
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: I guess if it happened, you know, and I guess

1578
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: if there's really a videotape of it, Yeah, that's gonna

1579
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 1: hurt Donald Trump. But as he said today, it's fake news,

1580
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:11,760
Speaker 1: and as Michael Cohn said, it's fake news. And you know,

1581
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to sound and pat myself on the back.

1582
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 1: I had to explain to people last night because Andrew Correll,

1583
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: who I also know, and I don't have anything against

1584
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: the guy, used to work for media, and he said, Handy,

1585
01:26:24,040 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 1: that's a closed passport, my dude, and I wrote Andrew,

1586
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:30,880
Speaker 1: I confirmed with him. I actually made the phone call,

1587
01:26:31,520 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: and I think it was a text. Actually, I don't

1588
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:39,240
Speaker 1: remember calling him. Another guy writes me, hey, dip shoot,

1589
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:42,400
Speaker 1: you can enter progue from any point in the U

1590
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,479
Speaker 1: U A U and I wrote back, hey, dip shoot.

1591
01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:50,320
Speaker 1: At least I confirmed with a source, Michael Cone, that

1592
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,160
Speaker 1: he was never there, and his passport shows he was

1593
01:26:53,320 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 1: never there, meaning in Europe. Michael Cohn I retweeted, I've

1594
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,840
Speaker 1: never been to prog in my life. I mean, it's

1595
01:27:00,920 --> 01:27:06,679
Speaker 1: hilarious if it wasn't so outrageous. But it's fake news.

1596
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: You know what else was fake news? Everything that you

1597
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:15,160
Speaker 1: heard reported in the election cycle. What do you mean, Hannay,

1598
01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:19,240
Speaker 1: you're a bitter partisan. I contend we're more accurate on

1599
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 1: this program with information that I give you about all

1600
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: the government agencies that were hacked, information I gave about

1601
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 1: the Obama economy last night, in Obama's failures that he

1602
01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 1: didn't talk about last night, than the mainstream media. You know,

1603
01:27:35,479 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 1: I I don't even know what else to say. At

1604
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,240
Speaker 1: some point, we've got to recognize we have an information crisis. Now,

1605
01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm a believer in free speech. I believe that these

1606
01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 1: guys can print everything they want. But the fact that

1607
01:27:48,880 --> 01:27:52,480
Speaker 1: these are so called credible news organizations. Who owns BuzzFeed

1608
01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:56,080
Speaker 1: isn't an NBC, Comcast Universal? I think they own it.

1609
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 1: You know, people got mad at me. Why because I

1610
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:02,120
Speaker 1: got in an airplane, Jane, I flew a total of

1611
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: what sixteen eighteen hours, was on the ground for six hours,

1612
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: and and I can't think of a single question I

1613
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,800
Speaker 1: should have asked Julian osans that I didn't ask him. Now,

1614
01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:13,960
Speaker 1: maybe you say, Okay, he's not credible, but at least

1615
01:28:14,320 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 1: you got to hear him deny that he ever talked

1616
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 1: to Putin. It's on the record that he never talked

1617
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 1: to a Putin surrogate. It's on the record that he

1618
01:28:23,080 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: never talked to Donald Trump or Donald Trump surrogate. At

1619
01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:28,519
Speaker 1: least it's on the record, and nobody else in the

1620
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,479
Speaker 1: media seemed to want to do this. Can I ask

1621
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:35,600
Speaker 1: you this? Have you ever talked to Vladimir Putin? Have

1622
01:28:35,880 --> 01:28:38,760
Speaker 1: you ever talked to any of his surrogates? Have you

1623
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: ever talked to Donald Trump any of his surrogates? No?

1624
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,000
Speaker 1: Not one. There was some report that you might have

1625
01:28:45,120 --> 01:28:48,120
Speaker 1: talked to somebody who was not associated with the campaign,

1626
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 1: Roger Stone. I think way this roder stunt claim is

1627
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 1: coming from is Uh. There's a radio guy on w

1628
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:01,720
Speaker 1: b A, I which as a mutual friend. Uh he

1629
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:03,800
Speaker 1: was who wanted to come and see me to see

1630
01:29:03,800 --> 01:29:05,519
Speaker 1: if I would set up a radio show on w

1631
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,320
Speaker 1: b A. I Uh that he didn't. He did come

1632
01:29:08,320 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: to London, but he didn't meet with me. So last night,

1633
01:29:12,240 --> 01:29:14,640
Speaker 1: as I was heading home, I made a decision, an

1634
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:18,439
Speaker 1: editorial decision, because I've learned a lot in my career.

1635
01:29:18,479 --> 01:29:21,400
Speaker 1: I learned a lot when I was in Atlanta and

1636
01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,720
Speaker 1: the Richard Jewel case and everybody in the media. He

1637
01:29:24,800 --> 01:29:28,799
Speaker 1: fits the Atlanta Journal constitution at the time they profiled him.

1638
01:29:28,880 --> 01:29:33,320
Speaker 1: He fits the profile of a loan bomber. After all,

1639
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 1: he lives with his mother. It ended up that Richard

1640
01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:40,080
Speaker 1: Jewel was a hero, and I never forget I learned

1641
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:44,000
Speaker 1: such a valuable lesson that was earlier in my career

1642
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: twenty years ago. Now that twenty years ago, yeah, okay,

1643
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 1: my math is good. And one day Richard Jewel gave

1644
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 1: me the first interview with him after it all settled out,

1645
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,640
Speaker 1: and he said that day when the Atlanta Journal Institution

1646
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,719
Speaker 1: came out with that story, I was listening to you

1647
01:30:05,479 --> 01:30:08,320
Speaker 1: on the radio show that you do, and I heard

1648
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 1: you say this, just because he lives with his mother

1649
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,920
Speaker 1: does not make him does not fit a profile, and

1650
01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,679
Speaker 1: it's not evidence. And he said, you were the only

1651
01:30:18,720 --> 01:30:22,559
Speaker 1: one that defended me at a time when everybody in

1652
01:30:22,600 --> 01:30:26,879
Speaker 1: the country thought I was the bomber. At the Olympic

1653
01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,719
Speaker 1: Center in Atlanta, I learned a lesson there when Barack

1654
01:30:31,760 --> 01:30:35,599
Speaker 1: Obama rushed to judgment without any due process, without any

1655
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:40,519
Speaker 1: evidence presented in the Cambridge case, in the Ferguson case,

1656
01:30:40,560 --> 01:30:42,920
Speaker 1: in the Baltimore case, and the Trayvon Martin case. I

1657
01:30:42,960 --> 01:30:46,719
Speaker 1: call him a four time loser. As a constitutional attorney

1658
01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 1: and the president of the United States of America, he

1659
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,919
Speaker 1: ought to know better, but because it advanced the narrative

1660
01:30:53,920 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to advance, and it was a high profile

1661
01:30:56,280 --> 01:30:59,240
Speaker 1: and I had a racial component, he went forward with it.

1662
01:30:59,240 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 1: And then he's lecture lecturing us last night on all

1663
01:31:02,680 --> 01:31:06,720
Speaker 1: issues involving race relations, which got have gotten infinitely worse

1664
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,599
Speaker 1: since he's been president. But in each one of those cases,

1665
01:31:10,680 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: I never rushed to judgment, and each one of those cases,

1666
01:31:14,200 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 1: I waited for the facts to be presented, and lo

1667
01:31:17,080 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 1: and behold, had any interviewed George Zimmerman at the first

1668
01:31:20,120 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: interview at the time, Barbara Walters was down trying to

1669
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: get it from in and she didn't get it. She

1670
01:31:25,960 --> 01:31:29,320
Speaker 1: applauded me though in the view and I asked every

1671
01:31:29,400 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 1: question I could then, and I remember, I think I

1672
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: have a pretty good read on people. I just knew

1673
01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,679
Speaker 1: that Zimmerman was telling the truth. That was my take,

1674
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,840
Speaker 1: kept it to myself, but I thought it would come out.

1675
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden, you get an eyewitness

1676
01:31:43,439 --> 01:31:46,200
Speaker 1: to the case that saw Trey von Martin identified him

1677
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:52,760
Speaker 1: grounding and pounding George Zimmerman's head into concrete, and that

1678
01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 1: George Zimmerman was the one that was screaming for his

1679
01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,559
Speaker 1: life on that tape and he was acquitted, just like

1680
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 1: the whole story of Michael Brown came out, and the

1681
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 1: whole story of Freddy Gray came out, and then the

1682
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:10,639
Speaker 1: President had that stupid beer summit years ago. Last night,

1683
01:32:10,920 --> 01:32:13,600
Speaker 1: I tweeted this after my TV show had to be

1684
01:32:13,680 --> 01:32:17,320
Speaker 1: after eleven I said, at Wiki Leaks ten years is

1685
01:32:17,320 --> 01:32:19,759
Speaker 1: a pretty impressive record because they have not got anything

1686
01:32:19,760 --> 01:32:23,680
Speaker 1: wrong in ten years. It's pretty impressive. It exposed a

1687
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:25,800
Speaker 1: lot of corruption in our media and how we have

1688
01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,640
Speaker 1: no cybersecurity. If we would learn from it and we

1689
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:31,720
Speaker 1: build cybersecurity, there wouldn't be wiki leaks, at least for

1690
01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:35,360
Speaker 1: the United States, maybe for other countries. And then I said,

1691
01:32:35,400 --> 01:32:40,320
Speaker 1: I read the budd BuzzFeed News disclaimer and then I

1692
01:32:40,360 --> 01:32:43,960
Speaker 1: wrote this last night, how this plays out will be interesting?

1693
01:32:44,680 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: My bet meaning my prediction, and I hashtag CNN epic

1694
01:32:49,479 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 1: fell because I saw with the breathlessness and hysteria by

1695
01:32:54,960 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: which they were reporting the story yesterday, and from literally

1696
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:00,920
Speaker 1: the time I got off the air at six o'clock

1697
01:33:00,960 --> 01:33:02,679
Speaker 1: till I got back on the air at ten o'clock,

1698
01:33:03,479 --> 01:33:08,280
Speaker 1: nothing made sense. It didn't fit the disclaimers the way

1699
01:33:08,320 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 1: they wrote it. I looked at the docier did all

1700
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:14,839
Speaker 1: of that, and the only mentions I made were casual.

1701
01:33:14,880 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, everyone's running with this story. It's gonna

1702
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 1: gonna be interesting, but I refused to do it. Now

1703
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:24,920
Speaker 1: I get accused of being a partisan. I don't hide

1704
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 1: the fact that I'm a conservative. Do if I ever?

1705
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:29,240
Speaker 1: Do you think everybody now in America. I've been on

1706
01:33:29,240 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: a radio thirty years, Linda, I've been in TV at Fox.

1707
01:33:32,479 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: This is my twenty first year. Do you think anybody

1708
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 1: doesn't know that I am a conservative? Is that a

1709
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 1: big surprise? But it's interesting. We did their work in

1710
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,800
Speaker 1: oh seven and oh eight. I remember people thought I

1711
01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: was going too far. Friends of mine, that I'm ruining

1712
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 1: my career by by investigating the radical associations that Obama had,

1713
01:33:53,560 --> 01:33:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, with Frank Marshall Davis, an Olynskyite disciple Acorn,

1714
01:33:58,000 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 1: who Acorn was what black liberation theology is. His closeness

1715
01:34:02,080 --> 01:34:04,320
Speaker 1: to the Church of g D America, sat in the

1716
01:34:04,360 --> 01:34:06,960
Speaker 1: pews for twenty years, the Reverend right. He is like

1717
01:34:07,080 --> 01:34:08,800
Speaker 1: family to me. But I had no idea he was

1718
01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:11,639
Speaker 1: such a big it and hated America so much. No, no, no,

1719
01:34:11,680 --> 01:34:15,160
Speaker 1: not God Bless America. G D America America's chickens come

1720
01:34:15,160 --> 01:34:17,639
Speaker 1: home to roost after nine eleven. I was the only

1721
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 1: person that saw something is radically wrong that he announced

1722
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:24,679
Speaker 1: his political career in the home of an unrepentant domestic terrorist.

1723
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was very strange that he stayed friends

1724
01:34:27,040 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 1: with him and sat on boards with him and gave

1725
01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,920
Speaker 1: speeches with him, and then I'm accused of being partisan.

1726
01:34:32,080 --> 01:34:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm doing their job. This is what they ought to

1727
01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:36,360
Speaker 1: be doing. Anyway, We're gonna have full coverage. I'm gonna

1728
01:34:36,400 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: do a media takedown tonight in my opening monologue, and

1729
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 1: then we've got we got such a good show tonight.

1730

1732
01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 1: Ari Fleischer's back tonight, and then we're gonna look at

1733
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:50,559
Speaker 1: all of the measures Donald Trump has taken to get

1734
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 1: rid of any appearance of impropriety. Herman Kane, Anthony Scaramucci

1735
01:34:54,200 --> 01:34:56,559
Speaker 1: will join us for that, and Sheriff David Clark will

1736
