And and 34 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: I'm feeling more and more confident that we're actually making 35 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: some progress showing the world that America is no longer gonna, 36 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120 Speaker 1: you know, sit around and allow these people to go 37 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: out there and and threaten the United States and and 38 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: threaten the free world with uh, well, just brideb us 39 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 1: with more money, because that certainly hasn't worked in any 40 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: way shape out of reform alright eight nine one Sean. 41 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: By the way, um, you know what's amazing. I know 42 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: Jeff lord Now has been fired from CNN, and I 43 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 1: tweeted this out yesterday. And I've known Jeff for many, 44 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 1: many years. You know who the real defenders of freedom 45 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: of speech in this country art today? It's not the 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 1: left anymore. The left has been co opted by people 47 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 1: that are obsessed with silencing every single solitary conservative voice 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: in the country. That's it. You notice the left whenever 49 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: there is any effort, you know, when you really look 50 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: at it, you know, I'm sure that there's silent agreement. 51 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: They just can't come out and say it. But you 52 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: never see a liberal defend conservatives and defend their ability 53 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: to fight by against those that want to attack their 54 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 1: advertiser based these phony boycotts. It's sort of like the 55 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: sunrises the sunsets, and there's a group of people that 56 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 1: want to get me off radio and TV and boycott 57 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 1: me and get me fired. I've just come to accept it. 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 1: It is the reality. And as long as I have 59 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: the loyal support of this audience, I'll be able to 60 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: stay on the air, thank god. But do you notice 61 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: that it's the left in America they are silent. I 62 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: can go back and play tapes for you that the 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: people when Bill Maher was under fire, I don't I 64 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: don't even like Bill Maher and I hate Bill Maher um. 65 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't like his opinions. I don't like a show. 66 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: I don't watch a show. I don't ever want to 67 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: watch your show. And the same thing goes with Stephen Colbert. 68 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: Remember there was an effort people wanted to boycott him 69 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: and get him off the air, and and there's all 70 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: these other attempts to get others off the year. I 71 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: don't want to silence anybody's voice because I believe in 72 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: freedom of speech. And I don't you know any effort 73 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: you know, you'll say, well, we'll just tell the advertisers, 74 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 1: and they start these fake robot campaigns on their on 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,320 Speaker 1: their differing websites. And it makes advertisers, by the way, 76 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: average advertisers are now hip to everything that they're doing, 77 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 1: who they are, what they've said themselves, what they're doing, 78 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: and it's it's sort of like the Boy Who Cried Wolf. 79 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 1: They go at it so many different times, it just 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: doesn't really truly work anymore except depending on where you 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: might work and and what the political agenda of the 82 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: place you might work for. Like I'll give you one example, 83 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: CNN for example. You know, Jeff Zucker has a personal 84 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,840 Speaker 1: gripe with the President, and it's obvious that it's it's 85 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: flowing over into its programming. And the few people that 86 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: they did have on the air that were conservative, there 87 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: was always you know, eight to one during those campaign 88 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: season debates, and and everybody would turn to, you know, 89 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: the one conservative and it would be like six on one, 90 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: five on one, three on one, whatever it happened to 91 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: be on that particular day, moment or time. And it's 92 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: like it doesn't matter how bizarre, how awful. What the 93 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: left says is always tolerable. There's no standard of decency 94 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: that they're applying to each size equally. They just want 95 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: to silence conservative voices. And every prominent conservative voice that 96 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: you know is now come under fire and been under attack, 97 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: and it's going to continue to be that way because 98 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: this is the environment we live in. But when Bill 99 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: Maherr was under attack, it was people like me and 100 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: Russia Lumba that said don't fire them. When Colbert was 101 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: under attack, I tweeted, don't fire Colbert. I'm not going 102 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: to be a part of this, and people were mad 103 00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:41,160 Speaker 1: at me on Twitter, Conservative other conservatives, this is our 104 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: chance to get him back. What are you doing. I'm like, 105 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: I'm not threatened by any of these people. I'm not 106 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 1: threatened by MSNBC's opinions. I don't even really think we're 107 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: competing against THEMSNBC in the sense that I don't know 108 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: how many people share audience between Fox and MSNBC, but 109 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: they've They've got their audience ins that loves conspiracy theories 110 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: and conspiracy TV, and they like to get literally hyped 111 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: up every night with press breathless reporting that the presidents 112 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: on the verge of getting impeached and he's not, and 113 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: they go out there and and the audience thinks, this 114 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: is the night it's gonna happen. Tonight we got him. 115 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it just doesn't happen. Um, I don't think 116 00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: I'm competing for the same audience. And time after time 117 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: after time, we've been right and they've been wrong. But 118 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: do you notice how is it that people conservatives defend 119 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: guys like mar and guys, you know, and defend the 120 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 1: right of NBC to program whatever garbage they want to program, 121 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: and Colbert to do whatever he wants to do and 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: say whatever he wants to say, and the people make 123 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: mistakes and they apologize. Unless it's a consistent, horrible pattern 124 00:06:51,680 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: of virulently racist and anti semitic, you know, material um, 125 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 1: then I think that you're not give somebody right like 126 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: Congress to revise and extend their remarks and give an 127 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 1: honest apology and followed up by a change in their behavior. 128 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: That's that doesn't exist today. It's an immediate, immediate opportunity 129 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: that they want to silence people. We as conservatives and media, 130 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: we have now lived for years years. There are people 131 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: right now that are paid that will transcribe every word 132 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: I say. It's happened every day for years and years 133 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: and years and years and years and years. They're being 134 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: funded by very wealthy left wingers, and we now know 135 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: who they are, how much they've donated, who they've donated to, 136 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 1: and what they're all about. But in a way, it's 137 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: it's that's the environment. If you're a conservative you work 138 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: in and the liberals that are on air, you know, 139 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: the funny part to me is they don't realize these 140 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: things that all work and can all work in reverse. 141 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: I'll be the one out here champion and freedom of speech. 142 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 1: But you know when when different things, when conservatives start saying, okay, 143 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:11,640 Speaker 1: if that that's how it's gonna be, we're gonna play 144 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: by the same rules, and they start fighting back like 145 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:19,800 Speaker 1: Melanie Morgan and Brian Maloney did. Then I mean, in 146 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: that sense, it becomes one big no freedom of speech 147 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 1: stifling and freedom of speech bought expression. You know, the 148 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 1: same thing is happening on college campuses. I don't know 149 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 1: I would. I would just prefer to be in a 150 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 1: class I'll never forget. When I went to n y U, 151 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: there was a guy that started a political science class 152 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: and one of the and I actually ended up I'm 153 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 1: pretty sure with Alan Colmes. I had him on Hannity 154 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: and and I remember he started the class. I'm a Marxist, 155 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: I'm a communist. Hated Reagan and I was I was 156 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: a student during the Reagan years, and I started defending 157 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,960 Speaker 1: Reagan after I got a great mid term grade. I 158 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,959 Speaker 1: ended up with the lowest grade I ever had in college. 159 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 1: I think it was C plus because the guy hated 160 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: my politics, and the guy was so fixated and focused 161 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 1: on that skinny guy in the back at the time, 162 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: which was me. That's all we all he did. He 163 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: came in and we we fought all day and everybody 164 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,280 Speaker 1: in the class was rolling their eyes because that's all 165 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: I cared about was politics. Even then, it was a 166 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: love and it was a passion. Um very trying times. 167 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: It is um if it's sort of like, what how 168 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 1: I feel about we don't have equal justice under the law. 169 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 1: Why have I spent so much time pointing out that 170 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: what Hillary Clinton did with her emails was a crime. 171 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: What Hillary Clinton by mishandling classified information, putting it in 172 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 1: a mom and pop shop bathroom, that's a crime, that's 173 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: a that's illegal, ended up being hacked. We're told nine 174 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: certainty by foreign intel organizations, foreign agencies. And when I 175 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: talk about subpoena at emails thirty three thousand deleted and 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: the excuse of flimsy excuses, it's about a wedding, funeral, 177 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: yoga and emailing her husband who doesn't do email. Okay, 178 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I think if a conservative did it, 179 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: its obstruction, and if the conservative acid washed bleach, bid 180 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: it clean, so you can't recover them, Well, that would 181 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 1: seem like obstruction. Or if you send the FBI devices 182 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: that don't have SIM cards, that seems like, you know, obstruction. 183 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,160 Speaker 1: And if somebody breaks up devices with hammers, be at 184 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: blackberries or iPhones or the I T guy in the 185 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: Wasserman Schultz case, as reported he might he had government 186 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: property in his garage, including hard drive smashed. Well, that 187 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: would seem to me to be a good strong case 188 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: to look into for obstruction. It was like Russian collusion 189 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: with the uranium one, just like election interference with Ukraine 190 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: and the paid DNC operative, the political reports reports back 191 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,080 Speaker 1: to the Hillary campaign and the d n C. Just 192 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: like the unmasking of General Flynn and Samantha Powers. Unmasking 193 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: what hundreds of people during an election year? Why would you, 194 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: un ambassador ever do that. We've had hundreds of well, 195 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: actually increase according to Circuit dot com and Sarah Carter 196 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 1: and John Solomon and unmasking during election season. Okay, why 197 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: how many of those happen to deal with the Trump administration? 198 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 1: A very high number. So it's it's almost like we're 199 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: politicis we're criminalizing in many ways political differences. The left 200 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,959 Speaker 1: doesn't have a tolerance for free expression of ideas, doesn't 201 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: matter if it's on college campus or cable TV or 202 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 1: They've always hated conservative dominance of talk radio. And and 203 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,560 Speaker 1: that's why everybody in talk radio at some point in 204 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: their career is gonna be targeted if they haven't been already. 205 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: And even now they're going after local hosts on a 206 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: regular basis, and people are losing their jobs and there 207 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: are some people that get very, very very skittish. Um 208 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 1: it's and I just gotta tell you, it's not good 209 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,000 Speaker 1: for the country. And people think that this is a 210 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: real good thing, but it's not good for the country 211 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: because we are stifling thought expression. One of the things 212 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm most worried about now with I'm I'm I'm thinking 213 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 1: we don't even have equal justice under the law. I'm 214 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 1: worried about where where are the liberals and libertarians on 215 00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: unmasking surveillance, unmasking and leaking raw intelligence on American citizenry. Well, 216 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: that is, you know, politicizing the tools of that we 217 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:30,200 Speaker 1: literally have entrusted to those brave men and women that 218 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: are out there every day on the front lines that 219 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:39,679 Speaker 1: are gathering intelligence on American enemies now the great but 220 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 1: when you hear the unmasking increases, and then you know 221 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: intel leaks perhaps by the General Council of the FBI, 222 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: which there's reports of an investigation, and Susan Rice an investigation, 223 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 1: and Ben Rhodes an investigation, and the UN ambassador and investigation. Wow, 224 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: that's kind of scary. You know, there are certain things 225 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,440 Speaker 1: that you would you would wish, you would hope that 226 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:06,079 Speaker 1: there can be consensus on. You know, my criticism of 227 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: Hillary taking money from Shariah countries. How many times did 228 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: I say this during the campaign, the millions and millions. 229 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 1: I put it up on the screen on TV regularly. 230 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: She's taken money from countries that abuse women, mistreat them. 231 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: Women can't drive, they're told how to dress, they can't 232 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 1: leave the house of the country without a male permission. 233 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: That you have gays and lesbians being killed as a 234 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: matter of law in these countries. You would think these 235 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: are fundamental things that human beings with a conscience and 236 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: soul agree on, But you can't even find agreement on that. 237 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 1: No liberal criticized Hillary for taking that money. Very few did. 238 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 1: Or the persecution of Christians and Jews, and there's all 239 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: things I talked about during the campaign. There's certainly you 240 00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 1: would think is an area of agreement, even on North Corea, 241 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 1: which is a clear and present danger to every man, 242 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: woman and child. Any right, At some point, it really 243 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter that Bill Clinton made a horrible deal. At 244 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 1: some point, we gotta deal with the reality, and that 245 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,600 Speaker 1: is somebody unhinged that keeps saber rattling, firing missiles, has 246 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons that can now reach New York City in Boston. 247 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: It's a little more serious than petty political differences, to 248 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 1: be honest. It's it puts everything in perspective. You know, 249 00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: radical Islamist Kim Jong un doesn't care if he kills 250 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 1: a liberal, a conservative, a Republican and Democrat. He just 251 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 1: hates America and he hates you know, keeps saber rattling 252 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: and pushing the world to the brink. Here alright, eight 253 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: nine one, Shawn toll Free telephone number. Right as we 254 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 1: roll along on a Friday, Two of our big stories 255 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 1: today North Korea and the Battle Mitch McConnell and the 256 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. I also think the President might be 257 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: speaking at some point today. I thought he was on vacation. 258 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: I thought he was resting. He wasn't, you know, was 259 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: wasn't was supposed to be out playing golf and having fun. 260 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 1: Apparently he's been working all day every day this week. 261 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: One last thought on this. You know who talked about 262 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: the forgotten men and women in this country this year? 263 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: You know he's talking about the forgotten men and women. 264 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: Now it's not the left. You know, they've always said 265 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 1: they have a monopoly of compassion on the poor and 266 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the elderly and the disabled. Every four years, it's the 267 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: same old playbook. Republicans are racist, sexist, homophobic, uh, Islamophobics 268 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: and if I can't even remember all the phobies. But 269 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: it's the same thing every every four years, actually every 270 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: two years. And I've gone back and I've given the 271 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: history and the examples of this many many times. You know, 272 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: if the left really cared about the poor in this country, 273 00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 1: they would look at Obama's economic failure and they'd say 274 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: this didn't work. If with all their resistance, not one 275 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: Democrat will ever consider helping Donald Trump on healthcare in 276 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: spite of the biggest lie ever told, keep your or lies, 277 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: keep your doctor planning, and save on average per family 278 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: dollars a year.

A lot of good 284 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: resisting fixing Obamacare is doing for the American people now, 285 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 1: thirteen million more Americans on food stamps, eight million more 286 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: in poverty, real people, real lives, real suffering, just like 287 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: real sexism, real prejudice against Christians, Jews, gays and lesbians, 288 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: Sharia countries that give Hillary money. Such hypocrisy of the left, 289 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: and they don't support the free speech movement either. Breaking news.

The stock market is at record highs, unemployment 308 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: is at a sixteen year low, and manufacturers have never 309 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: expressed more optimism about the future. The optimism has been 310 00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: truly incredible.

That's why in 321 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,119 Speaker 1: June we began a historic initiative to expand apprenticeship and 322 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: workforce training programs in all industries. We're expanding pathways to 323 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: success so important and apprenticeships are one of the many 324 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: avenues that lead to the great jobs, completely debt free. 325 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: And who knows more about the word apprentice than Donald Trump. 326 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,200 Speaker 1: In fact, under the apprenticeship you earn while you learn 327 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: so important and so great, and you love getting up 328 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 1: in the morning and going to work, and a lot 329 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 1: of great things involved here. We're also here today to 330 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: discuss additional steps we will be taking to expand apprenticeship programs, 331 00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: especially for women and minorities in STEM fields where women 332 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 1: have been truly underrepresentative. Really I guess you could say 333 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: are represented for many, many decades. Technology has become a 334 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: part of nearly every industry, from manufacturing to retail, and 335 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,920 Speaker 1: we want all of our citizens, every single citizen, including 336 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 1: women and minorities, to have access to high paying tech 337 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: jobs and other STEM related jobs. American workers are the 338 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: best there is anywhere in the world, and we're finding 339 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 1: work for them. They've built the skyscrapers of our cities, 340 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: the roads and bridges of course our land, and will 341 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: be building plenty of new roads and bridges by the way, 342 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 1: the technology that has revolutionized the globe, and so much more. 343 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: As you're well aware, their skills, talent, and grit have 344 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: always put America on top, and we're going to remain 345 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 1: on top, but a much higher level than we are 346 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,480 Speaker 1: right now. And speaking of now, it is our job 347 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: to make sure that they have the training immediately to 348 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: lead us into the future. We have great, great hope. 349 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,640 Speaker 1: We have a great, great future in this country. There's 350 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: never been more optimism and again, unemployment at a sixteen 351 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 1: year load. So we're honored to have all of you 352 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: just a sec that chair. Thank you very much. That's 353 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:18,760 Speaker 1: suppressible and that we appreciate it. And Ivanka, congratulations are 354 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 1: working so hard. We really do appreciate it, and thank you. 355 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: Any questions since Aposi, what do you mean by the 356 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: military solutions are locked and loaded as it relates to 357 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 1: North Korea, Well, I think it's pretty job. So we 358 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: are looking at that very carefully, and I hope that 359 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 1: they are going to fully understand the gravity of what 360 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: I said, and what I said is what I mean. 361 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: So hopefully they'll understand, Peter exactly what I said and 362 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: the meaning of those words. Those words are very very 363 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: easy to understand. Any progress on the diplomatic back channel, well, 364 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 1: we don't want to talk about progress. We don't want 365 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: to talk about back channels. We want to talk about 366 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 1: a country that has misbehaved for many, many years, decades 367 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 1: at truly, through numerous administrations, and they didn't want to 368 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: take on the issue. And I have no choice but 369 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 1: to take it on. And I'm taking it on. And 370 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: UH will either be very very successful quickly, or we're 371 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: gonna be very very successful in a different way quickly, 372 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,399 Speaker 1: Unco says. She says she Unclogal says she sees no 373 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: military solution to fight with North Korea. Why is she wrong? Well, 374 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 1: I think maybe she's speaking for Germany. Let her speak 375 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: for Germany. She's a friend of mine, she's a very 376 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 1: good person, very good woman. She's a friend of Ivanka. 377 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,159 Speaker 1: Perhaps she's referring to Germany. She's certainly not referring to 378 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 1: the United States. That I can tell you that you've 379 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,800 Speaker 1: said you want to send it strong that says North Korea. 380 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: What do you say your creates say is actually raising attention? Well, 381 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: you know, my critics are lonely saying that because it's me. 382 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 1: If somebody else uttered the exact same words that I uttered, 383 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,600 Speaker 1: did say what a great statement, what a wonderful statement, 384 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 1: they're only doing it. But I will tell you we 385 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: have tens of millions of people in this country that 386 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: are so happy with what I'm saying, because they're saying, finally, 387 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,680 Speaker 1: we have a president that's sticking up for our nation 388 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: and frankly sticking up for our friends and our allies. 389 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,600 Speaker 1: And this man will not get away with what he's doing, 390 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: to believe me. And if he utters one threat in 391 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 1: the formative of an over threat, which by the way, 392 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: he has been uttering for years and his family has 393 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: been uttering for years, or if he does anything with 394 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: respect to Guam or any place else that's an American 395 00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 1: territory or an American ally, he will truly regret it, 396 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,239 Speaker 1: and he will regret it fast. Hey, thank you all 397 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:40,080 Speaker 1: very much, Thank you, thank you very much. And that's 398 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 1: the president. And again, if he does anything in respect 399 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: or Guam or any of our allies or the United States, 400 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: he will regret it, and regret it immediately. And he 401 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: didn't want any ambiguity, and he wouldn't speak about any 402 00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 1: potential diplomatic solution or back channeling or and just dismissed 403 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:00,959 Speaker 1: whatever Angela Merkel had said. I and seen those comments 404 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: earlier today, Well, maybe she's speaking for Germany. Let her 405 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 1: speak for Germany, which she That's exactly right. She can 406 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 1: speak for Germany. She's not elected here. Um. But this 407 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,280 Speaker 1: is just the truth. I mean, Kim John on his father, 408 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 1: grandfather before him, I mean they this is now, they 409 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: have been not part of the world community. There people 410 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: live in utter poverty and misery. But yet they have 411 00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: enough money for all this nuclear technology, all the weaponry 412 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: that they're launching and saber rattling that they're doing. And 413 00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: the President went on to say, either way we are 414 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: going to be successful. Either will know very quickly whether 415 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna work, whether it's not gonna work. And this uh, 416 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: and you know a lot of people, Mr President, you're 417 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,280 Speaker 1: being strong with them, will certainly being weak and and 418 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: trying to bribe them and appeasing them. That didn't work. 419 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 1: And the President did say on Friday, in a reference 420 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 1: to American weapons is being locked and loaded. And he's 421 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: been very very clear that military solutions, as he said, 422 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: are fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea 423 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 1: act on wisely, which, by the way, is there any 424 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: American that doesn't want their country defended if God forbid 425 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: something happens. Is it not a good thing to let 426 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: a madman know that there are going to be consequence 427 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: of severe consequences for his actions? And Trump wrote on 428 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: Twitter that you know, a day after his Defense secretary 429 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,840 Speaker 1: said the US was ready to counter any threat from Pyongyang. 430 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 1: Mad dog maddis so locked and loaded, ready to defend 431 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: this country, ready to defend the United States? You know 432 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: you have. I don't know what his position is in 433 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,120 Speaker 1: whether I guess the Guam Homeland Security team and secretary 434 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,239 Speaker 1: issued a fact sheet on you know, don't look at 435 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 1: a flash or a fireball. Well that's not reminiscent of 436 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: the Cold War and kids in school practicing getting underneath 437 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,960 Speaker 1: their death. I don't know what is. But you know, 438 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: even the New York Times at a piece out today, 439 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: not that I'm particularly fond of the New York Times 440 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: at all. Wrestling with North Korea, Trump finds perilous options 441 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: and the options are not great. Actually in the next hour. 442 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,399 Speaker 1: There's always been a topic of interest. It's the stuff 443 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: of spy novels and and you know, over the years 444 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: you've heard about electric magnetic pulse, like electric magnetic pulse 445 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: and and issues like this. Um And the fascinating thing 446 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: about it is it really is a possibility, and it's 447 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: something if you look at the history of it, it's 448 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 1: pretty fascinating. It's more for me, a topic of interest, 449 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 1: but it's also you know, a real threat. We're gonna 450 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: have somebody who studied and written books on and join 451 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: us later in the program, New King, which is also 452 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 1: going to join us. He actually said something today I 453 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: really disagree with new but he said something about the 454 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 1: president and his comments about Mitch McConnell, which I found 455 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 1: genuine and sincere, expressing of frustration about Mitch McConnell and 456 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,880 Speaker 1: how they can't get a seven and a half year 457 00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,240 Speaker 1: promised one and the expectations are too high. I mean, 458 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,360 Speaker 1: it just sells. Sounded so swampy to me. I don't 459 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: it's pretty amazing. Um. So. On the other front, as 460 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: it relates to North Korea, we've got thousands of North 461 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 1: Korea's top military officials marching in support of Kim Jong 462 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: un as if they had any choice, with Pyongyang warning 463 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 1: it could reduce the US mainland to ashes at any moment. Well, 464 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 1: now we know they're full of crap, but mad Dog 465 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: maddis the Secretary of Defense. He's saying that, um, the 466 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: solution is in place to address it. And they're on 467 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: the same page. And you've got the U. S And 468 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: Japanese troops now beginning joint military exercises amid this threat. 469 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,520 Speaker 1: Chinese newspaper has weighed in and says China should stay 470 00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: neutral if North Korea attacks first. Now was pretty interesting, 471 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: basically signaling in North Korea you're on you're on your own, 472 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: warning both, you know, asking the United States not to 473 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: do this, and telling North Korea we don't have your 474 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 1: back here. We're not getting involved in your stupid war. 475 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,160 Speaker 1: You know, we've got to you know, look, who wants 476 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: nuclear war, who wants incineration? Who wants thousands, tens of thousands, 477 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:19,679 Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands more to die? What? No no rational 478 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 1: person is insane. As some of the former Soviet Union 479 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 1: leaders were, they they understood mutually A short destruction. I'm 480 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: not sure that that this guy understands this. I really 481 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,479 Speaker 1: am not. I think the President has been so on 482 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 1: his game lately as it relates to both McConnell and 483 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 1: And here's my take. This is where I go. We'll 484 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:42,400 Speaker 1: get into this with new at the top of the 485 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: next hour. But I watched the president guys seven and 486 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: a half years and then you say when you can't 487 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,520 Speaker 1: pass it, I'm giving up and I'm moving on. That's 488 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,760 Speaker 1: not how that That's not how the real world works 489 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:58,120 Speaker 1: for most people. You don't get to say to your boss, Okay, 490 00:28:58,160 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this done in seven and a half 491 00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,080 Speaker 1: of hours and then say, oh, I'm sorry, I'm going 492 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,479 Speaker 1: home now. That doesn't work. Oh. I meant to bring 493 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,800 Speaker 1: up one other point on Guam. Those North Korean missiles 494 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: can reach Guam in fourteen minutes. It's pretty scary. We 495 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: better be beef up our missile defense system. And now 496 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: you know, now you're talking about an escalation arms race 497 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: that's probably gonna emerge in the region as a result 498 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: of all of this, and that's not good for anybody 499 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 1: that cares about human life. Uh. That then becomes an 500 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: unmitigated disaster and I just because I can see that, 501 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: I just don't see that anything is gonna end well here. 502 00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 1: It just the options are so bad unless Kim Jong 503 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: un backs down. We have some other news today. One 504 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: thing is the president's approval rating, as he's been working 505 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: his whole vacation, has now taken another big jump. Last Friday, 506 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,040 Speaker 1: rascution showed Trump at thirty nine percent. Now he's at 507 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: that's matching the Zogby poll that came in this week. 508 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:05,240 Speaker 1: Everyone in the media he's down. They won't report. I 509 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: guess when he's up. Now. We also have the remember 510 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:15,280 Speaker 1: this author of this anti Trump dossier, you know, the infamous, 511 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,040 Speaker 1: discredited anti Trump dossier, the guy that James Comey wanted 512 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: to hire that was used, apparently, we're being told, as 513 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: a blueprint for Robert Mueller's Russia Gate investigation, is now 514 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 1: being sued for libel. Lawyers for the British author of 515 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,800 Speaker 1: the intelligence dossier at the center of this controversy or 516 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: fighting an effort to force him into a deposition in 517 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,880 Speaker 1: connection with a libel suit stemming from Buzzfeeds publication of 518 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: the salacious document. Now, the attorneys for this British m 519 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: I six intelligence officer Christopher Steele asked the federal judge 520 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 1: in Miami not to grant the request. Steals lawyers filed 521 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: the motion a couple of hours after a district court 522 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: judge issued a formal request for Steele's testimony. Anyway, there 523 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 1: were quest was signed by the judge, sealed by the 524 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: court clerk. It's unclear if it was formally delivered, but 525 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: obviously it's a possibility. That would be a good thing. 526 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: Just like Fusion GPS, they need to start talking to well, um, 527 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 1: what else have we got here today? GOP House member 528 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 1: wants to grow Muller in an open hearing. That's pretty 529 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 1: interesting development. Anyway, Texas Republican Brian Babman wants to do that. 530 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:27,600 Speaker 1: You got a former Mueller deputy predicting Trump is going down. Mhm. 531 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 1: I mean it's eight to zero Democratic donors and Hillary's 532 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: attorney to no Republicans. Anyway. The guy's name is Phil 533 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,760 Speaker 1: mud served as deputy director of the FBI under Mueller. 534 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 1: Let me give you one bottom line as a former 535 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: government official. Government is going to kill this guy, he said. 536 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 1: He said it on the fake news network CNN. The 537 00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 1: judge who authorized Mueller's grand jury helped the Hillary aid 538 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: hide how actually helped Hillary hide her emails. We got 539 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,720 Speaker 1: another conflict of interest with this old Howell. So you 540 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: have eight Democratic donors, no Republican donors, and now the 541 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:10,160 Speaker 1: judge worked for the Senate Judiciary and helped Hillery. Uh, 542 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,360 Speaker 1: let's see what else do we got? Um. I guess 543 00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:14,800 Speaker 1: that's about it for now. All right, we'll have New 544 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: Gingridge when we get back our two top stories today 545 00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:19,160 Speaker 1: that we're really following, and then we'll get into the 546 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,960 Speaker 1: electronic magnetic pulse issue and uh, and New Gingridge is 547 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: gonna join us and much more. Also author that has 548 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: taken some shots at me, people saying you're not having 549 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 1: enough enough opposition on Hannity. We'll get to that trying 550 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,720 Speaker 1: as we roll along on a Friday, bomb shelter sALS 551 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner booming in California. Well, Jonathan Turley blasting Muller 552 00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 1: for his pre dawn raid. Very troubling, very gratuitous, very excessive. 553 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah you think. And the Paul manaphor case, New Gingridge 554 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: when we get back and electro magnetic pulse, what is it? 555 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:01,719 Speaker 1: Will explain ask for sure, Avance. But I know everybody 556 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: think been there haven't done anything, which I find extremely irritated. 557 00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell you why a comngress goes on 558 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 1: for two years. And part of the reason I think 559 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:18,200 Speaker 1: that the storyline is that we haven't done much is 560 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 1: because in part of the President and others have set 561 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,520 Speaker 1: these early kind of lines about things need to be 562 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: done by a certain point now our new president. Of course, 563 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 1: I've been in this line of work before, and I 564 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,320 Speaker 1: think had excessive with expectations about how quickly things happen 565 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,560 Speaker 1: in the democratic profit and so part of the reason 566 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: I think people feel like we're under under performing isn't 567 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: because too many kind of artificial deadlines on unrelated to 568 00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: the reality of the complexity UH legislative may not have 569 00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,360 Speaker 1: been fully understood. And of course our polutical advers he 570 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 1: loves and that any time. So when I'm asking to 571 00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: view is to judge this commerce when it finishes. How 572 00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:13,279 Speaker 1: much have we done to make America competitive again and 573 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:17,680 Speaker 1: to roll again? And that's part of America again. Whiss 574 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:25,720 Speaker 1: what the president off about so much? I just wanted 575 00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:29,440 Speaker 1: to get repeal and replaced done. I've been hearing repeal 576 00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:31,879 Speaker 1: and replaced now for seven years, but I've only been 577 00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,560 Speaker 1: doing this for two years, and I've really only been 578 00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,080 Speaker 1: doing this for six months, but I've been running. So 579 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,640 Speaker 1: now it's almost two years. And all I hear is 580 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,839 Speaker 1: repealed and replaced. And then I get there and I said, 581 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:45,960 Speaker 1: where's the bill. I want to sign it first day, 582 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,000 Speaker 1: and they don't have and they passed repeal and replaced, 583 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,360 Speaker 1: but they never had a president, frankly, or a Senate. 584 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,200 Speaker 1: I was going to do it, but they never had 585 00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: a president, so it didn't matter. So I say, very simply, 586 00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,680 Speaker 1: where is repealed and replace? Now? I want tax reform 587 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,720 Speaker 1: and tax cuts. We're gonna reduce taxes for the people. 588 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,759 Speaker 1: We pay more tax than anybody in the world, and 589 00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna reduce taxes. So I say, tax cuts, tax reform, 590 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,640 Speaker 1: and I want a very big infrastructure bill where we're 591 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,480 Speaker 1: working on that very hard already, and we can do 592 00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,759 Speaker 1: that and we may even get bipartisan on infrastructure, but 593 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,640 Speaker 1: we want to have it. But I said, Mitch, get 594 00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:29,440 Speaker 1: to work and let's get it done. They should have 595 00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 1: had this last one done. They lost by one vote. 596 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: For a thing like that to happen is a disgrace, 597 00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,920 Speaker 1: and frankly, it shouldn't have happened that. I contend you 598 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:42,439 Speaker 1: it shouldn't. They're attending now and then or here, they're 599 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 1: not con curative empire. Well, I'll tell you what if 600 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,759 Speaker 1: he doesn't get repeal and replace done, and if he 601 00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 1: doesn't get taxes done, meaning cuts and reform, but if 602 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't get a very easy one to get done infrastructure, 603 00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,200 Speaker 1: if he doesn't get them done, then you could ask 604 00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,920 Speaker 1: me that question. All right, now, we are to Sean 605 00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: Hannity Show as we continue our top two stories today, 606 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: the battle between the President the Senate majority leader, and 607 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: the ongoing hostilities and threats going back and forth with 608 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,759 Speaker 1: North Korea. Former Speaker of the House New Gingrich is 609 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: with us, Mr Speaker there you have excessive expectations versus 610 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,759 Speaker 1: get the job done, and Mitch McConnell saying well now 611 00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: we're gonna move on to other things. He just basically 612 00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: throw up his hands after that last vote on healthcare. Um, 613 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:35,320 Speaker 1: I guess I was surprised to read you read that. 614 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:38,000 Speaker 1: You said on our friend Marias Show this morning, you 615 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 1: disagree with all of the strategy. What does that mean? Well, 616 00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,440 Speaker 1: first of all, who were sixteen Democrats voting no for 617 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 1: every Republican. So if people want to get mad, the 618 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,640 Speaker 1: first place to look is the forty eight Democrats, and 619 00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: in particular the ten Democrats who are from states Trump carried, 620 00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:58,320 Speaker 1: including somebody who's from the state that is pro Trump. 621 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 1: So I started with the idea, I mean, Ronald Reagan 622 00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,799 Speaker 1: would have figured out the real opponent with the Democrats, 623 00:37:04,239 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: but to repeal and replace the Republicans did, And and 624 00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,840 Speaker 1: you got forty nine out of fifty two. And and 625 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,279 Speaker 1: people that attack quote the Republicans. Well, if I'm one 626 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 1: of the forty nine, I'm standing there gonna wait a second. 627 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,279 Speaker 1: I did everything I could, including trying to carry these 628 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 1: three guys whouldn't go with me. But the deeper thing 629 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 1: here is presidents have to focus on being effective as 630 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,239 Speaker 1: a team. I'm one of the reasons I spoke out 631 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:33,840 Speaker 1: today is the president's gotten the cycle now of what 632 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,160 Speaker 1: Mitt Mitch has to do, he has to do. The 633 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,399 Speaker 1: president is not an owner sitting up in a box 634 00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: somewhere that the president is the biggest player on the field. 635 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 1: We need to we need to get back to using 636 00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:47,960 Speaker 1: the words we. What is it that we have to 637 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,759 Speaker 1: get done? How is it that we failed? Because we 638 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: all fail that one, just miss McConnell. Every single one 639 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,160 Speaker 1: of us who wanted to repeal have failed. So what 640 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,799 Speaker 1: do we learn from that? And how do we move 641 00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 1: on as a team. And I'm saying this stuff as 642 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: strong as I do because I lived through the Reagan years. 643 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 1: I lived through the Contract years, I know, and I 644 00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:11,480 Speaker 1: lived three years when Republicans failed, and Republicans failed when 645 00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: they decided to commit civil war against themselves, and they 646 00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,440 Speaker 1: forget that, the Democrats of the opponents, and they forget 647 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,120 Speaker 1: what the real source of the problem is. The real 648 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,480 Speaker 1: source of the problem is not Mitch McConnell. The real 649 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,960 Speaker 1: source of the problem is Chuck Schumer and forty eight 650 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,440 Speaker 1: Democrats who spent all spring and summer trying to screw 651 00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: up this administration every single way they could, and they 652 00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: were successful. But you know, I rarely rarely disagree with you. 653 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,560 Speaker 1: I mean, and I'm sitting very closely for clues because 654 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 1: because I know you so well, and with all due respect, 655 00:38:42,440 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: I don't think we can compare this Republican Party to 656 00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:48,239 Speaker 1: the New Gingridge Party in nine and ninety four that 657 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,520 Speaker 1: had a vision that actually made promises and kept promises. 658 00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,319 Speaker 1: As a president like Reagan, you know, it was very 659 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,600 Speaker 1: successful at legislating. But this is from let me give 660 00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: you my perspective, and I really want to dig into 661 00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,479 Speaker 1: this in get your answer, and I want to listen 662 00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: and I want an answer because I want these things 663 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,200 Speaker 1: solved because the country needs it. You know, I watched 664 00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: Donald Trump yesterday and there's what I sensed. I sensed 665 00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: a real sincerity in him. He I saw the guy 666 00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 1: that was the real person, being totally blunt and honest, 667 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: not understanding how people can promise something for seven and 668 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,120 Speaker 1: a half years and they have the majority and then 669 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,480 Speaker 1: seemingly have zero really big ideas. I mean, what they 670 00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 1: what they failed on was the skinny repeal, which was 671 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:32,399 Speaker 1: nothing like repeal and replace as they promised. They don't 672 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,879 Speaker 1: have urgency, they seem McConnell seem to accept failure by saying, 673 00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:40,520 Speaker 1: let's move on, and then McConnell lecturing the president first 674 00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,399 Speaker 1: in fairness to President Trump about well he's not from here. 675 00:39:44,920 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 1: Uh he's not. You know, I'm a bit irritated over this. 676 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: He doesn't understand the complexities of of legislating. And I'm like, really, 677 00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:57,120 Speaker 1: this is nine months into the guy's presidency and you 678 00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 1: you guys are eight years into this promise. This is 679 00:39:59,600 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: ridiculou us. Well, look, I'm going I'm not to defend 680 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,080 Speaker 1: what Mitch said the other day. I think it was 681 00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,920 Speaker 1: on wise, and I think looking back, he probably agrees 682 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,280 Speaker 1: it was unwise. But but I just want to point out, Okay, 683 00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,520 Speaker 1: you're at a point in time when the objective fact 684 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,040 Speaker 1: is your three votes short. Now one way to react 685 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:19,960 Speaker 1: is decide, let's, you know, let's find some way to 686 00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: attack ourselves. So we're not gonna have a huge fight, 687 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 1: for example, taking on Flake in Arizona, because boy will 688 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 1: sure teach him. Well, we could also end up losing 689 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,680 Speaker 1: the seat. We're gonna really have a big fight with 690 00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: Heller and Nevada will teach him. By the way, both 691 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 1: these guys voted for repeal, but we're going to teach him. 692 00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,799 Speaker 1: I see these Conservati groups already out raising money. Good 693 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:41,880 Speaker 1: chance to then lose the seat. We're gonna be back 694 00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:43,960 Speaker 1: where we were for the last few years, except now 695 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 1: it'll be Schumer instead of Hanry Reid as the majority leader. 696 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,279 Speaker 1: I don't think that helps Trump. I don't think that 697 00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,000 Speaker 1: helps the country. Listen, I'm not disagreeing that we got 698 00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:56,040 Speaker 1: to come to an answer here. The only thing I 699 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: will say is that I'll look, I'll concede a point 700 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:01,759 Speaker 1: to you agree. Of course, we can always go back 701 00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:04,359 Speaker 1: and blame the Democrats. But give us the House, give 702 00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:06,680 Speaker 1: us the Senate, give us the presidency. Will do this. 703 00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:10,480 Speaker 1: There's not one Democrat, not even those from from states 704 00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,480 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump won, that ever made that promise, and 705 00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: nor do I think any of them are. It's a 706 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,520 Speaker 1: hopeless party at this point. I mean, Joe Manchin, I know, 707 00:41:18,640 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 1: has been reached out to time and time again, and 708 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:24,239 Speaker 1: he is absolutely impossible to deal with. At the end 709 00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:26,880 Speaker 1: of the day, Chuck Schumer and the Democrats control. But 710 00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:30,000 Speaker 1: but the fact is to the degree that that's true, 711 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 1: then there is a long game. And the long game 712 00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 1: is called the two eighteen election. And you go to 713 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:36,520 Speaker 1: the country and you say, you know, we have a 714 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,480 Speaker 1: couple of people who are weak, so our fifty two 715 00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: votes really isn't reliable. We need to be at fifty 716 00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 1: six or fifty eight. Who are we going to beat 717 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:46,640 Speaker 1: so we can get the fifty six or fifty eight? 718 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: Is this for the for the average person out there 719 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,120 Speaker 1: that's hurt? Since give us the House, will repeal and replace. 720 00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:55,640 Speaker 1: No no, no no, Give us the House and Senate 721 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: will repeal and replace. Give us the House Senate, the 722 00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:01,360 Speaker 1: White House will repeal and the replace. Give us the House, Senate, 723 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,040 Speaker 1: the presidency. But now we need fifty eight votes and 724 00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:06,799 Speaker 1: then we'll repeal and replace. And I'll tell you why 725 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,520 Speaker 1: I don't I don't believe that's true. Is you know 726 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,440 Speaker 1: there were sixty votes in the House to repeal and 727 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:16,320 Speaker 1: replace Obamacare show votes. They never used the power of 728 00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: the purse. That was an early indication they didn't mean it. 729 00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,279 Speaker 1: There were a hundred House Republicans that never, we learned, 730 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,640 Speaker 1: didn't have any intention of doing that. And then we 731 00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: also learned that even the Senators have voted for a 732 00:42:26,680 --> 00:42:30,680 Speaker 1: straight repeal bill. In three of them that voted for well, 733 00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,440 Speaker 1: actually more of those, like like six of them that 734 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,799 Speaker 1: voted for the straight repeal bill, and they didn't mean 735 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,680 Speaker 1: it either, because when they had their shot to get 736 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:40,759 Speaker 1: it past, they didn't mean it either, and they voted 737 00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 1: against the straight repeal. I'm irritating today, I know, I'm 738 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: just not No, no, you're not irritating me. I mean 739 00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,960 Speaker 1: this is actually a very important, I think, very healthy conversation, 740 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,120 Speaker 1: not just tun you and me, But for the entire 741 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:57,279 Speaker 1: conservative movement. Okay, we're faced with the reality. The people 742 00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,799 Speaker 1: who had a good press release when it came down 743 00:42:59,840 --> 00:43:03,399 Speaker 1: to in real legislation Sunday discovered, oh, this is really 744 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,239 Speaker 1: a lot harder than we thought it was. And that's 745 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,840 Speaker 1: really what happened. But you were always politically courageous, and 746 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,719 Speaker 1: let's be honest. I mean, you got the House for 747 00:43:11,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 1: the first time in forty years with a vision, a strong, active, 748 00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:23,239 Speaker 1: uh participating, you know, contract bold and aggressive. You did 749 00:43:23,360 --> 00:43:26,759 Speaker 1: your job. You kept your word. Well, why don't the 750 00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,080 Speaker 1: Republicans just do that now in the next from now 751 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,960 Speaker 1: until January one? It should. But my point is when 752 00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:35,200 Speaker 1: you say that, Sean, it has to include the president. 753 00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,719 Speaker 1: This word Mr conn made the first mistake by going 754 00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 1: on the word we is really really important here. I 755 00:43:43,239 --> 00:43:45,879 Speaker 1: went out and you're right, we put together. It took 756 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 1: us twenty four years because you were there and you 757 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 1: saw it, and took us sixteen years after I had election. 758 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,840 Speaker 1: I loved it. It was a good time. But remember 759 00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,880 Speaker 1: I went to every moderate and I said we. I 760 00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,719 Speaker 1: went to every conservative and I said we. And I 761 00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: worked very hard to make sure that we were on 762 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,160 Speaker 1: the same team, So I should say, Mitch, can we 763 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:09,960 Speaker 1: work together? Pretty pretty pretty pleased with sugar onto there? Yes, Look, 764 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,040 Speaker 1: I know it's it's not it's not as much fun 765 00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: as being angry. I'm not. What I want is effectiveness. 766 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:19,640 Speaker 1: I want effectiveness, not emotion. I want I want a 767 00:44:19,680 --> 00:44:25,320 Speaker 1: president's fascinating about this. We so rarely disagree and and 768 00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:28,279 Speaker 1: I know you're deep down as as as piste off 769 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:31,000 Speaker 1: as I am, except I'm just more blunt about it, 770 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 1: and I wear my emotions on myself. I know you, 771 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:37,000 Speaker 1: I know you, But the biggest difference isn't how. And 772 00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:39,279 Speaker 1: I agree I'm probably at least as frustrated as you 773 00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,320 Speaker 1: are because I'm older than you. I've been doing this 774 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,480 Speaker 1: longer than you have. That drives me crazy than when 775 00:44:44,520 --> 00:44:47,200 Speaker 1: I watched the Republican Party forget every single lesson that 776 00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,640 Speaker 1: we learned from Reagan and every lesson we learned from 777 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: the contract. And I'm very worried they're gonna do the 778 00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: same thing on the tax bill, and so trust me. 779 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean, my fuse is very short. But here's what, 780 00:44:57,880 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 1: here's what tempers my my voice. The key is to 781 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: be effective. Okay, what's gonna get the job done. Now, 782 00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,840 Speaker 1: what's gonna make me feel good? Do you have extra 783 00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:11,359 Speaker 1: time today? You're busy because I gotta keep you from 784 00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:13,239 Speaker 1: one quick segment? Do you want to stay another half hour? 785 00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: Or no? No? I can't say that. Okay, I quick break. 786 00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 1: We'll come back. Final thoughts with new King rich don't 787 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:22,400 Speaker 1: forget his book on Amazon dot com. It's suspend now 788 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:24,480 Speaker 1: what ten or eleven weeks on the New York Times 789 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: best seller list. It's called Understanding Trump. We'll get his 790 00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:32,319 Speaker 1: take on North Korea when we get back. Right. As 791 00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:34,320 Speaker 1: we continue with former Speaker of the House, author of 792 00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,920 Speaker 1: the New York Times bestselling book almost three months now 793 00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,959 Speaker 1: on the best seller list, Understanding Trump, New King riches 794 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,399 Speaker 1: with us. All right, I know we don't have more time. 795 00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,160 Speaker 1: This is a discussion that I think we're gonna have 796 00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,280 Speaker 1: to have moving forward. And I'll just say, I'll concede 797 00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:48,840 Speaker 1: this to you. Blessed are the peacemakers. You shall inherit. 798 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:51,840 Speaker 1: I believe the earth because that's you. That's not me 799 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 1: right now. And I think let's plan Monday to get 800 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 1: back on this topic. And I'll come back on the 801 00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,080 Speaker 1: show if you want me to. I do, I do, 802 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,440 Speaker 1: but I I'd be negligent if I didn't ask you 803 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 1: about North Korea. And I do like the President's strength. 804 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,520 Speaker 1: I like as resolved. It is such a refreshing difference 805 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,000 Speaker 1: from the appeasement policies that got us here, and that 806 00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: means Bill Clinton he is he has done exactly the 807 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,480 Speaker 1: right thing. It's a perfect example. There's a teamwork underway. 808 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,160 Speaker 1: You see the you see General Maddis, Joe, General Kelly, 809 00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:24,279 Speaker 1: you see uh General McMaster, you see Tillerson, the whole 810 00:46:24,640 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 1: and you see the UN Ambassador NICKI Haley. The whole 811 00:46:28,400 --> 00:46:30,800 Speaker 1: team is moving in the right direction. I think what 812 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,640 Speaker 1: the President's been saying needs to be as vivid and 813 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:36,160 Speaker 1: as clear as he has been. I think this is 814 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: a critical period for us. I did write my newsletter today, 815 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,399 Speaker 1: which people can get for free at Gagwig Productions dot com, 816 00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:45,120 Speaker 1: on what is the value of an American city. I 817 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,879 Speaker 1: think we have to take very seriously what's at stake 818 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:50,759 Speaker 1: with nuclear weapons, and I'm will be writing several newsletters 819 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: the next week on what we need to do to 820 00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,800 Speaker 1: have a much deeper and more effective defense system against 821 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:57,920 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. But I think the President is moving in 822 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:01,279 Speaker 1: exactly the right direction and he's doing it as a team, 823 00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,760 Speaker 1: and they're mutually reinforcing. When the President says something strong 824 00:47:04,840 --> 00:47:07,200 Speaker 1: and rhetoric matters, comes along and says, by the way, 825 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 1: we can back it up militarily and make it happen. 826 00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,719 Speaker 1: All right, based on an earlier discussion and based on 827 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,320 Speaker 1: what you're saying here, I mean, have you spoken with 828 00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:16,759 Speaker 1: the president? Have you spoken with Minch McConnell, I mean, 829 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:18,719 Speaker 1: have you have you? For example, I think you would 830 00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 1: be the perfect person to bring together I wouldn't be 831 00:47:22,160 --> 00:47:25,160 Speaker 1: that person. Well, I don't. I don't think I am 832 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,319 Speaker 1: in a position a broker between two people who are 833 00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,839 Speaker 1: extraordinarily powerful personalities. These guys are adults, so they'll they'll 834 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: figure this out and get around to it. Um you 835 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: think so? Do you think? Well, do you think that 836 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:40,560 Speaker 1: by by December, by by January? Do you think we'll 837 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,920 Speaker 1: get a bill to fund the border wall? Do you 838 00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:46,759 Speaker 1: think we'll we'll get the President's economic plan pass? Do 839 00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:49,200 Speaker 1: you think we'll get some version of their promise repeal 840 00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 1: and replace? And do you think we'll get everything we 841 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 1: need to get energy jobs up and moving, which I 842 00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,960 Speaker 1: think will be the single greatest That's what I think 843 00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 1: is the biggest focus on their future. I've been talking 844 00:47:59,560 --> 00:48:01,600 Speaker 1: with the hight House, with the House and the Senate. 845 00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 1: I am very concerned because, as I said earlier, I 846 00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,200 Speaker 1: can watch these I can imagine these guys sliding back 847 00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,520 Speaker 1: and making the same mistakes with with the tax bill 848 00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 1: but they made with the health bill. You cannot do 849 00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:14,920 Speaker 1: something that is too complicated and get it done. We 850 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:16,960 Speaker 1: don't have the right sized majority, we don't have the 851 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:20,200 Speaker 1: right communications capability. They need to have a simple, clean, 852 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:22,960 Speaker 1: clear tax nice if they were ready for it, but 853 00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,239 Speaker 1: I guess that's in retro but they weren't, and the 854 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:27,520 Speaker 1: same thing is true here. They need a simple, clean 855 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,200 Speaker 1: tax cut by Thanksgiving if they're going to get the 856 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,839 Speaker 1: economy growing enough next year to win the election. All Right, 857 00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: we'll have you back next week, Mr Speaker, congrats on 858 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:38,839 Speaker 1: the book. Have a great weekend. One Shawn told free 859 00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,560 Speaker 1: telephone number. You want to be a part of the program, 860 00:49:08,920 --> 00:49:12,400 Speaker 1: check out the show twenty four seven downloaded to your iPod, 861 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,800 Speaker 1: be a Handity insider at Hannity dot com. And I 862 00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 1: will tell you this. If North Korea does anything in 863 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:26,000 Speaker 1: terms of even thinking about attack of anybody that we 864 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:30,399 Speaker 1: love or we represent or our allies or us, they 865 00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:33,400 Speaker 1: can be very very nervous. I'll tell you what, and 866 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 1: they should be very nervous because things will happen to 867 00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,240 Speaker 1: them like they never thought possible. Okay, he's been pushing 868 00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,640 Speaker 1: the world around for a long time. And I have 869 00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:47,120 Speaker 1: great respect for what China and what Russia did and 870 00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,080 Speaker 1: those fifteen we got a fifteen to nothing both. I 871 00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,000 Speaker 1: have great respect for China and Russia what they did 872 00:49:53,080 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 1: on sanctions. I believe that will have an effect. I 873 00:49:57,040 --> 00:49:59,080 Speaker 1: don't think it will have the kind of effect even 874 00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:00,640 Speaker 1: though I was the one, We were the ones who 875 00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: got it, and NICKI Helley did a great job. We 876 00:50:04,080 --> 00:50:06,680 Speaker 1: all did a great job. But I have great respect 877 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,920 Speaker 1: for what they did. I have great respect for the 878 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,400 Speaker 1: fifteen to nothing, but probably it will not be as 879 00:50:12,480 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 1: effective as a lot of people think it can be. 880 00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 1: Unfortunate kind I think JOHNA can do a lot well, Yes, 881 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:22,200 Speaker 1: China can, and I think China will do a lot more. Look, 882 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:27,440 Speaker 1: we have trade with China. We lose hundreds of billions 883 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 1: of dollars a year on trade with China. They know 884 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:34,680 Speaker 1: how I feel. It's not going to continue like that. 885 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:39,120 Speaker 1: But if China helps us, I feel a lot differently portrayed, 886 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:44,839 Speaker 1: a lot differently portrait So we will do. I think 887 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,879 Speaker 1: the people of our country are saying, are allies to say, 888 00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,359 Speaker 1: and I will tell you this, North Korea better get 889 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,920 Speaker 1: their act together or they're gonna be in trouble like 890 00:50:55,080 --> 00:51:00,440 Speaker 1: a few nations ever have been in trouble in this world. Alright, 891 00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 1: twenty four now till the top of the hour, the 892 00:51:02,920 --> 00:51:06,640 Speaker 1: President speaking out about North Korea, and so he's incent 893 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: his words may start something horrible. And I'm sitting there 894 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, really, guys, is you know we tried 895 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,440 Speaker 1: to bribe the guy Bill Clinton assured us this is 896 00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:18,480 Speaker 1: a good deal for the American people. They're never ever 897 00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:22,560 Speaker 1: gonna get nuclear weapons, and lo and behold way here today, 898 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:24,880 Speaker 1: just like I'm telling you, we're gonna be here tomorrow 899 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,920 Speaker 1: somewhere down the line with the RAND and that horrible 900 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,840 Speaker 1: Obama deal a hundred and fifty billion dollars to mulas. 901 00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:34,480 Speaker 1: But of course they get twenty five days inspections notice 902 00:51:34,560 --> 00:51:37,480 Speaker 1: not by Americans either, and they get to continue to 903 00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: spend their center few, just as like North Korea was 904 00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:45,720 Speaker 1: able to keep their the nuclear rods that are needed 905 00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,440 Speaker 1: and necessary to make nuclear weapons. And by the way, 906 00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: Hillary gave twenty precent of our plutonium to uh Putin 907 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,919 Speaker 1: and Russia. But that's not a conspiracy in any way. 908 00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,399 Speaker 1: You know, as we've been talking about in the last 909 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:00,600 Speaker 1: few days, I've been telling everybody and asking generals and 910 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,080 Speaker 1: people in the know, is there any good answer here? 911 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:07,360 Speaker 1: And many people that I know love and respect, and 912 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,239 Speaker 1: people that have been in warfare and studied warfare their 913 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:13,280 Speaker 1: entire lives all say there really isn't any good answer. 914 00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,440 Speaker 1: I mean, even under a best case scenario, if if 915 00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:21,280 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un is dedicating himself to creating mass destruction 916 00:52:21,360 --> 00:52:23,840 Speaker 1: and continues to saber rattle and continues to build his 917 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,120 Speaker 1: i c b M s and the world can't face 918 00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,560 Speaker 1: such a threat, and if the world has to act, 919 00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:32,759 Speaker 1: then we find ourselves in the difficult, precarious position of 920 00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 1: having to act. Even if China joins US. China said 921 00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,000 Speaker 1: North Korea, you are on your own if you strike first, 922 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: have also saying to the United States urging us not 923 00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:46,560 Speaker 1: to do it either. But if in fact something happens, 924 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:50,760 Speaker 1: or we we feel that this guy is too unbalanced 925 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:55,200 Speaker 1: to have missile technology i c b M capability married 926 00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,719 Speaker 1: to nuclear weapons, especially weapons with a range that could 927 00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,160 Speaker 1: reach New York City or Boss Town, and we feel 928 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 1: that we have to act in China joins US, and 929 00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 1: Israel joins US, and even Russia joins US, and Western 930 00:53:06,120 --> 00:53:09,239 Speaker 1: European allies join US. Okay, then, okay, what are we 931 00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:12,520 Speaker 1: gonna do? Okay, you're gonna incenterate North Korea? Does he 932 00:53:12,640 --> 00:53:16,640 Speaker 1: launch weapons a Guam, South Korea, Soul, China, and Japan 933 00:53:16,800 --> 00:53:19,719 Speaker 1: before our weapons actually even get there. Does he have 934 00:53:19,800 --> 00:53:22,600 Speaker 1: any any pre strike plan in place if he senses 935 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,600 Speaker 1: he's under attack? And what does the nuclear fallout? Now 936 00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 1: there's another scenario as well. The former Speaker of the House, 937 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,640 Speaker 1: knew Ingridge, was talking on TV the other night that Okay, 938 00:53:30,840 --> 00:53:34,880 Speaker 1: you know if three nuclear weapons, if in fact they 939 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,640 Speaker 1: ever exploded just above the United States in the atmosphere 940 00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:41,680 Speaker 1: of the United States, well the US, Canada would be 941 00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: vulnerable to a catastrophic attack. In other words, there is 942 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,400 Speaker 1: there is the possibility in electrical electromagnetic pulse and I 943 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 1: just out of sheer interest over the years, and they've 944 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:58,719 Speaker 1: been the subject of of spy novels and and doomsday novels, etcetera. 945 00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:02,480 Speaker 1: But just launch from the atmosphere an electromagnetic pulse would 946 00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:05,520 Speaker 1: literally shut down the electric grid in this country, dismantle 947 00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,920 Speaker 1: every appliance, water systems, food distribution, and much more. But 948 00:54:10,239 --> 00:54:13,880 Speaker 1: not just for hours, not just for days, but for weeks, months, 949 00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:17,680 Speaker 1: and the possibility even longer. Anyway, a person that has 950 00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:20,360 Speaker 1: caught my interest, he works with the Toronto Sun is 951 00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:24,560 Speaker 1: a calmness. Anthony Furies is with us and he actually 952 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 1: wrote the ball book about pulse attack, the real story 953 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,000 Speaker 1: behind the secret weapon that can destroy North America. How 954 00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,000 Speaker 1: are you, hey, Sean? I'm great, great to be back 955 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,239 Speaker 1: on the program. Do you get do you come under 956 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:37,239 Speaker 1: fire for for writing and talking about these things where 957 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:40,000 Speaker 1: people find it as interesting as I do. Well, I 958 00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: get under a little bit of fire because you're right 959 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,640 Speaker 1: to when you teat up saying people have expine novels 960 00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:46,479 Speaker 1: and it's in a couple of movies like a James 961 00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,400 Speaker 1: Bond in the Ocean's eleven. So people think it's science fiction. 962 00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:53,000 Speaker 1: They think it's entirely relegated to the tinful half brigating, 963 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,560 Speaker 1: and I gotta be honest, I sort of kind of 964 00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:57,279 Speaker 1: did when I first started researching this, Sean, and then 965 00:54:57,320 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: I found out why I thought that way. Well, why 966 00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: so did I I thought it was nut talk, totally 967 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 1: completely off the rails when I first heard about it. Well, 968 00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,719 Speaker 1: and the reason that's the case is because it's been 969 00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:10,919 Speaker 1: classified information, so all the serious people haven't been able 970 00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,440 Speaker 1: to talk about it. What happened is back in the sixties, 971 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,239 Speaker 1: both the US and Russia, we're doing their atmospheric tests, 972 00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:18,560 Speaker 1: and they were doing them atmospherically, not because they wanted 973 00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,680 Speaker 1: to do them in the atmosphere, because you can't detonate 974 00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:22,319 Speaker 1: them on the ground you're going to create a big crater. 975 00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: But when they did this, they launched them up in 976 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,120 Speaker 1: the sky and then they realized five kilometers away various 977 00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 1: sort of street lamps and so forth went out and 978 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 1: short circuited, and they thought, hey, had a second and 979 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,399 Speaker 1: they sent technicians to have a look, and they thought, oh, 980 00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,400 Speaker 1: there's a connection here, and they realized, you debtonate one 981 00:55:36,440 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: of these up in the atmosphere sends a big high 982 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,279 Speaker 1: energy wave form around that can fry pretty much all electronics. 983 00:55:41,360 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: JFK brings in the Partial Test Band Treaty in the 984 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,960 Speaker 1: early sixties, which I think we can agree is pretty 985 00:55:46,040 --> 00:55:48,560 Speaker 1: much a good thing. But downside is it halted you 986 00:55:48,680 --> 00:55:51,680 Speaker 1: being able to do that learn more primary source information. 987 00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:53,719 Speaker 1: So that's what shut it all down, Sean, And that's 988 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,960 Speaker 1: why when it gets classified and when you can't do 989 00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,960 Speaker 1: more tests, it's not really you know, a sexy thing 990 00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 1: to do your PhD. And you can't get any funding 991 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,400 Speaker 1: to pay your mortgage on and so forth, so kind 992 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: of a cone of silence. This was something that the 993 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 1: former Soviet Union and the United States we're testing and 994 00:56:08,719 --> 00:56:11,480 Speaker 1: maybe still kind of behind the scenes, are working on 995 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,120 Speaker 1: that we just don't know about. Well, yeah, exactly. In 996 00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:17,880 Speaker 1: my book Pulse Attack, I talked about how Kazakhstan actually 997 00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,400 Speaker 1: had one debt NATed against that when they are part 998 00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:23,240 Speaker 1: of the USSA. Russia. Oh, we'll do a test over Kazakhstan. 999 00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:25,919 Speaker 1: See what happened. They got rid of all the electronics there. 1000 00:56:25,960 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: They fried so many of them, they even took out 1001 00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:29,759 Speaker 1: part of the power grid. So when there are these 1002 00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,839 Speaker 1: rogue state actors run North Korea, they're looking around, they're going, wow, 1003 00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,800 Speaker 1: this is kind of great asymmetrical wear warfare. Here. The 1004 00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,399 Speaker 1: basic idea that we could maybe just us a little 1005 00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:40,880 Speaker 1: North Korea Kim Jong, and we could take out all 1006 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,239 Speaker 1: of the eastern seaboard in the US and Canada and 1007 00:56:43,360 --> 00:56:46,239 Speaker 1: so forth. That's an amazing power to have, well, I 1008 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,799 Speaker 1: think so, all right, So describe the threat that might 1009 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,640 Speaker 1: exist for the US and other words of and is 1010 00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 1: it a possibility? In other words, new Gang which was 1011 00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: talking about, he wants a strategic defense initiative that has 1012 00:56:57,719 --> 00:57:01,120 Speaker 1: the redundancy of let's say the North Arians, God forbid, 1013 00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:04,360 Speaker 1: they launched an i CBM with nuclear weapons. It's headed 1014 00:57:04,360 --> 00:57:07,480 Speaker 1: towards the United States, the continental United States. He wants 1015 00:57:07,520 --> 00:57:12,080 Speaker 1: a redundancy factor that we have ten forty shots from 1016 00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,080 Speaker 1: from space at this weapon to take it out. In 1017 00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: other words, you have the fat anti missile defense system. 1018 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 1: Now you've got the Israeli system that's on the ground. 1019 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,360 Speaker 1: It's done a really good job for them and keeping 1020 00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:24,960 Speaker 1: the Israeli safe. But it's probably got to be a 1021 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 1: lot more advanced. If you go to a space based 1022 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:30,720 Speaker 1: defense system and let's say a laser type of system 1023 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:33,480 Speaker 1: that could explode it in the atmosphere, depending at what 1024 00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: point in its trip that it got shot down, what 1025 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 1: would happen or what could well if they succeed in 1026 00:57:39,320 --> 00:57:41,640 Speaker 1: the detonation, you can shoot it down at various levels 1027 00:57:41,680 --> 00:57:43,479 Speaker 1: and it and it won't actually happen. And I should 1028 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:45,560 Speaker 1: add that they could detonate this from a satellite. North 1029 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,720 Speaker 1: Korea has a k s M satellite that flies over 1030 00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:50,040 Speaker 1: the middle of the US pretty much every twelve hours. 1031 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:52,080 Speaker 1: We don't know what's in that thing. I'm sure there's 1032 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,920 Speaker 1: not a nuclear weapon you know right now, but there 1033 00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 1: are many things you know shot six months ago. People 1034 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,400 Speaker 1: who have told you and me there's no way North 1035 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: Korea will get I CBM, now they have them. If 1036 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 1: they do successfully do this detonation, it very well could 1037 00:58:04,920 --> 00:58:07,560 Speaker 1: take out all of the electric secret And that doesn't 1038 00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 1: just mean our iPhones and our fancy gadgets. It means 1039 00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:13,240 Speaker 1: my son born premature a couple of years ago on 1040 00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:16,640 Speaker 1: a life support machine. Oh that's going off grandma's dialysis machine. 1041 00:58:16,680 --> 00:58:18,520 Speaker 1: Wait a second, go past a few days there, we're 1042 00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:21,640 Speaker 1: talking weeks. The water filtration systems aren't working well. We 1043 00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,000 Speaker 1: all need water. We can't get clean stuff up. Even 1044 00:58:24,040 --> 00:58:26,480 Speaker 1: the sun pumps in the country, you can't get those 1045 00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: going the regional food terminals. How much food do we 1046 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,920 Speaker 1: actually have stored to feed our cities. All those things 1047 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 1: start to spoil and you start to realize why this 1048 00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 1: can end up looking like you know, the Walking Dead 1049 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,440 Speaker 1: minus the zombies. All right, but you've got to admit 1050 00:58:38,560 --> 00:58:41,280 Speaker 1: it's fairly remote, right, I mean you have For example, 1051 00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 1: do you ever read any of these these magazine pieces 1052 00:58:43,800 --> 00:58:47,160 Speaker 1: of stories about cult preppers. I mean they're always they're 1053 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 1: always being portrayed as the nuttiest people around. And you know, 1054 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,680 Speaker 1: I have extra water at my house, I have some 1055 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,600 Speaker 1: extra food at my house, that prepared food like they 1056 00:58:56,920 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 1: like the astronauts seed. Um, I have a big generator 1057 00:59:01,080 --> 00:59:04,120 Speaker 1: at my house. I've I've I've taken some preparations, but 1058 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,760 Speaker 1: not for the long term like this. Well, first of all, 1059 00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:09,520 Speaker 1: to the people who say the odds of it are 1060 00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:11,520 Speaker 1: happening are pretty low, NASA says the odds of a 1061 00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:15,000 Speaker 1: naturally occur in EMP attack happening a solar flare is 1062 00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 1: around about ten percent per decade. Ten percent per decade. Okay, 1063 00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:20,160 Speaker 1: well those aren't very high odds. Well, hold on a second. There, 1064 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:24,120 Speaker 1: folks buying tickets for the power that, yeah, they have 1065 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:26,800 Speaker 1: way less of a of a choice of winning the lottery, 1066 00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:28,720 Speaker 1: chance of winning the lottery. We take an insurance on 1067 00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:31,200 Speaker 1: our home even though we know a fire most likely 1068 00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:33,280 Speaker 1: isn't going to happen. But but the odd thing about 1069 00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:35,400 Speaker 1: all of this shown is the mitigation strategy for it 1070 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 1: is really quite simple. There's been a number of statewide 1071 00:59:38,040 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 1: initiatives and even a couple of federal initiatives that want 1072 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,440 Speaker 1: to bring in legislation and regulation on this, and it's 1073 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 1: really a two step thing. One, let's learn a bit 1074 00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:48,040 Speaker 1: more because right now, of course, the worst case scenario 1075 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:52,120 Speaker 1: is popular because nobody's done any recent researcher investigation to 1076 00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,240 Speaker 1: really exactly authoritatively tell how bad this thing will be 1077 00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:58,560 Speaker 1: a fettle hit. And two, as you're redoing these parts 1078 00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,280 Speaker 1: in your various election a grid system, put in a 1079 01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,160 Speaker 1: regulation that just says, as you're replacing those costs over 1080 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,480 Speaker 1: the years, over their life cycle, replace them with e 1081 01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,400 Speaker 1: MP compliant parts. And this is not a tinfoil hat 1082 01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:11,760 Speaker 1: thin sean. There are major engineering firms out there which 1083 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 1: have patents through these types of products. So mitigation is 1084 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 1: available and surprisingly quite simple. All right, when we come back, 1085 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,240 Speaker 1: I just want to ask you, based on your knowledge 1086 01:00:20,320 --> 01:00:22,760 Speaker 1: or experience, your study of what an a MP attack 1087 01:00:22,960 --> 01:00:25,120 Speaker 1: is and and people, I bet you some people are 1088 01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,400 Speaker 1: hearing this, probably for the first time, and they're probably thinking, 1089 01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 1: is this guy, real, can this really happen? And what 1090 01:00:30,040 --> 01:00:32,400 Speaker 1: they should do or what you'd recommend they do. I mean, 1091 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,200 Speaker 1: I want you to send me that NASA report. I 1092 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,560 Speaker 1: really like to read that. Um, this is just one 1093 01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 1: of those topics that I read like at three in 1094 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 1: the morning when I can't sleep because I didn't have 1095 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:43,479 Speaker 1: my pillow. But um, it's something that I just find 1096 01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:45,960 Speaker 1: a real interesting because it's kind of scary and it's 1097 01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: like a novel, but yet it's got some some truth 1098 01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 1: and it's rooted in in a reality in many many ways, 1099 01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:55,360 Speaker 1: especially as we become so electronically dependent, and especially power 1100 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,320 Speaker 1: grid issues, which is a very scary scenario, and of 1101 01:00:58,440 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: course water filtration issues and stuff like that. Stay right there. 1102 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,320 Speaker 1: We'll take a break, we'll come back, and we will 1103 01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:06,200 Speaker 1: continue with Anthony Furies wrote the book Pulse Attacked the 1104 01:01:06,280 --> 01:01:09,360 Speaker 1: real story behind the secret weapon that can destroy North America. 1105 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 1: The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show was up 1106 01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:19,320 Speaker 1: the next hang on for Shawn's conservative solutions, Right as 1107 01:01:19,360 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 1: we continue with Anthony Furies with A Toronto Sun columnist 1108 01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:25,600 Speaker 1: wrote the book Pulse attacked the real story behind the 1109 01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:29,440 Speaker 1: secret weapon that can destroy North America and uh, a 1110 01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:32,880 Speaker 1: lot of people haven't even heard about electro magnetic pulse 1111 01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:35,360 Speaker 1: and what it could do. And you mentioned that Russia 1112 01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,640 Speaker 1: performed in an attack in the past. Where did they 1113 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,680 Speaker 1: do it. They did it over Kazakhstan when they were 1114 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,439 Speaker 1: then part of the USSR SO Sean. They were looking 1115 01:01:44,520 --> 01:01:47,360 Speaker 1: at basically testing this out. They weren't really being the 1116 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,800 Speaker 1: furious about it, you know, trying to blow Kazakhstan to 1117 01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:52,040 Speaker 1: smooth rings or anything. But they thought, we'll do a test, 1118 01:01:52,080 --> 01:01:54,240 Speaker 1: We'll do it over this area, and they did it, 1119 01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:56,400 Speaker 1: and they took down a lot of the grid in Kazakhstan. 1120 01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,400 Speaker 1: We're talking millions of people who lost power, part of 1121 01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:01,720 Speaker 1: their power plants actually went down because of it. That 1122 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: was back in the sixties when they hardly knew anything 1123 01:02:04,720 --> 01:02:07,400 Speaker 1: about this technology. So you think if a country like 1124 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:09,760 Speaker 1: North Korea also wants to just sort of lightly poke 1125 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 1: around in the same way Russia was doing it, they 1126 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 1: may have some success. Yeah. Well, I mean it's a 1127 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 1: pretty scary thing. You say North Korea may already have 1128 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: this capability to perform this type of attack. Why, well, basically, 1129 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,280 Speaker 1: it's about how high up you can get the missile. 1130 01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,280 Speaker 1: It's a really low kilotungue yield that's needed. When you 1131 01:02:28,360 --> 01:02:30,800 Speaker 1: look at the actual arsenal North Korea has right now. 1132 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:33,120 Speaker 1: The size of their nukes are nothing compared to some 1133 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:35,600 Speaker 1: of the bigger ones that Russia and the US have 1134 01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,160 Speaker 1: in their stockpile. But you really only need the smallest 1135 01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:40,720 Speaker 1: of nuclear detonations to trigger this sort of gamma ray 1136 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 1: reaction in the atmosphere that sends out this electromagnetic wave form. 1137 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,640 Speaker 1: So the simple fact that they have the nuclear capability, 1138 01:02:47,720 --> 01:02:50,040 Speaker 1: the question is just whether not they want to detonate 1139 01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:52,920 Speaker 1: it atmospherically or not, or whether their plannings are some 1140 01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 1: sort of ground launch. You talk about the North North America, 1141 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:59,400 Speaker 1: you talk about Canada, the US, etcetera. Being vulnerable to 1142 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,200 Speaker 1: this um Is there any work being done to protect 1143 01:03:03,320 --> 01:03:06,920 Speaker 1: the grid, to protect the water, to protect America if 1144 01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 1: such an incident ever occurred. You know, there are a handful, 1145 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,240 Speaker 1: just a handful of politicians in the US advocating for that. 1146 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,440 Speaker 1: As you said earlier, New Gingrich is talking about this issue, 1147 01:03:16,840 --> 01:03:19,640 Speaker 1: yes and no. Sadly, in Canada there's even much less 1148 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:21,640 Speaker 1: going on. I've been talking in our parliament buildings to 1149 01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,520 Speaker 1: the legislators about giving speeches there and as you know, 1150 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,920 Speaker 1: we're not east west, you know, Canada the US. When 1151 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:29,960 Speaker 1: it comes to electricity, we're north south. There's practically no 1152 01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 1: borders when it comes to the energy industry in North America. 1153 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: So you're looking at the eastern seaboard going out the 1154 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,200 Speaker 1: western seaboard, there is not much of admitted gration strategy. 1155 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:39,919 Speaker 1: The only good news I have to tell you, Sean 1156 01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: is that a few years ago money was released by 1157 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,840 Speaker 1: the White House to harden Cheyenne Mountain the Nora at 1158 01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:47,840 Speaker 1: facilities where Canada and the US work together to monitor 1159 01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,320 Speaker 1: the sky. So they want to protect the military assets, 1160 01:03:50,560 --> 01:03:52,680 Speaker 1: and the military talks about it. I mean, it's no 1161 01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,640 Speaker 1: conspiracy theory to the military. They take it quite seriously. 1162 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: The only problem is great, so we get an MP attack. 1163 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Military assets are still there, which I guess they can 1164 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: stop us from being nuked on the ground, but civil 1165 01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,840 Speaker 1: society still goes out. People are still without water for 1166 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:08,400 Speaker 1: weeks or months. So we still got to get civil 1167 01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,960 Speaker 1: society on board. And Sean, you know, just as much 1168 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,400 Speaker 1: as anyone, Paul takes its downstream from culture, and people 1169 01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:15,480 Speaker 1: just aren't talking about this right now. So they've got 1170 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: to get a cultural movement to this. Yeah, well said, um, look, 1171 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:21,040 Speaker 1: I really appreciate all you're doing. And if people want 1172 01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:22,920 Speaker 1: to get the book, I guess it's on Amazon and 1173 01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,560 Speaker 1: in bookstores and Amazon. It's at pulse attack book dot 1174 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,080 Speaker 1: com as well. Yeah, you're not scaring the crap out 1175 01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,160 Speaker 1: of people, are you? You're not scaring the living crap 1176 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 1: out of people. You're just you're just yea, just that's 1177 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:35,680 Speaker 1: the word, that secret behind the weapon they can totally 1178 01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: destroy North America. Don't worry everybody, It's fine, Everything's fine, 1179 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: all right, We appreciate it, Anthony. Thank you. Going up 1180 01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: next our final News round Up and Information Overload, our 1181 01:04:46,960 --> 01:04:50,080 Speaker 1: right news round Up, Information Overload hour on the Sean Hannity. 1182 01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:51,840 Speaker 1: So many of you have you have been saying, Hannity 1183 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,040 Speaker 1: not putting enough opposition on the program. Well, we're trying 1184 01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,560 Speaker 1: to get out news and information every day that that 1185 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:01,400 Speaker 1: we argue that you don't get elsewhere anyway. Um, this 1186 01:05:01,520 --> 01:05:03,920 Speaker 1: is a person that frankly has been at times a 1187 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:06,440 Speaker 1: little rough on me and her columns and whatever else 1188 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,320 Speaker 1: she's tweeting out there. Olivia newtzees with us, she who 1189 01:05:10,320 --> 01:05:13,120 Speaker 1: are you with your with the Washington Correspondent for New 1190 01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,160 Speaker 1: York Magazine. Right, why are you laughing about that? Because 1191 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,000 Speaker 1: you like taking shots at me because you just figure 1192 01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bubble and fizz like Alca Celzer and fight back. 1193 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:24,840 Speaker 1: I think it's fun when you fight back. I don't 1194 01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 1: know why you have to be so sensitive about it 1195 01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:32,320 Speaker 1: any um, anything but sensitive. And I honestly don't care 1196 01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:34,560 Speaker 1: at all. You know what most people don't understand about 1197 01:05:34,600 --> 01:05:36,840 Speaker 1: me and Twitter and like when I start these little 1198 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,880 Speaker 1: fights with like Humpty Dumpty and all those other people. 1199 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,680 Speaker 1: But although he's not really worth my time, but it's 1200 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,920 Speaker 1: just for me, I'm laughing. For me. It's fun. Like 1201 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 1: you just did a big profile on Liberal Joe and Mika. 1202 01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:49,960 Speaker 1: I mean, I think I would argue two of the 1203 01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,800 Speaker 1: most unhinged people I've ever met in my life. I thought, 1204 01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:57,400 Speaker 1: listen to this is their music, the Monkey House. Do 1205 01:05:57,400 --> 01:06:00,600 Speaker 1: you ever hear that? I did as he watched him 1206 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:03,560 Speaker 1: perform it, uh from the green room on the Pulp Show, 1207 01:06:03,680 --> 01:06:06,600 Speaker 1: and he was, oh, so, what did you think of 1208 01:06:06,640 --> 01:06:09,640 Speaker 1: them behind the scenes? You will want to share that. Yeah, 1209 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 1: you know, I thought they were they're very unusual people. Um, well, 1210 01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:18,600 Speaker 1: you know they're they're they're just unusual. I don't know, 1211 01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:21,720 Speaker 1: they kind of they sit together in this weird way. 1212 01:06:21,720 --> 01:06:24,320 Speaker 1: It's very difficult for me to imagine them apart and 1213 01:06:24,520 --> 01:06:26,920 Speaker 1: talking to them separately, you know, if the other one 1214 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,080 Speaker 1: wasn't right next to them, they almost they seem like 1215 01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:33,640 Speaker 1: different people. Um, they're very different apart than they are together. 1216 01:06:34,200 --> 01:06:36,760 Speaker 1: That that's interesting. It almost sounds like, oh, they get 1217 01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,520 Speaker 1: relief and now I can be myself when the other 1218 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 1: one is thought around. That's what it sounds like. And 1219 01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:44,000 Speaker 1: I do know couples like that radio talk host, and 1220 01:06:44,560 --> 01:06:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, he's one way when he's around his wife, 1221 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 1: and when his wife's not around, he's the most irreverent, 1222 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:53,760 Speaker 1: politically incorrect person in the world. And around her man, 1223 01:06:53,840 --> 01:06:57,600 Speaker 1: he's buttoned up tight. Are you talking about yourself? All right? 1224 01:06:57,640 --> 01:07:00,680 Speaker 1: You're so no, I'm not talking about myself. It's not 1225 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 1: a biography here, Thank you very much. The autobiography go ahead. Um. 1226 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 1: They you know, they were they were nice. They'll give 1227 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,120 Speaker 1: them credit. They were sports They answered you know, pretty 1228 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,600 Speaker 1: much everything that I asked. Um, but they're they have 1229 01:07:12,680 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 1: a very very tightly controlled image and and I almost 1230 01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,760 Speaker 1: was never around them. If they were not surrounded by 1231 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:22,720 Speaker 1: pr people, uh and other people from MSNBC and you know, 1232 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 1: in contrast, I interviewed Rachel Matto for Glamor magazine recently, 1233 01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 1: by you know, tells me she's the nicest person in 1234 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:33,440 Speaker 1: the world. Now, I think she's the biggest conspiracy theorist 1235 01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,680 Speaker 1: in the country. But you know, you're allowed to have 1236 01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:38,600 Speaker 1: different opinions. And Sean Hannity, I think conservatives are bigger 1237 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,080 Speaker 1: on freedom of speech issues now than liberals are. But um, 1238 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:46,400 Speaker 1: regretive ancestran swear she's the nicest person on earth. Yeah, 1239 01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,080 Speaker 1: I mean, she's very nice. And you know, in contrast 1240 01:07:49,160 --> 01:07:51,600 Speaker 1: to Joe and Nika, she we did our interview with 1241 01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,040 Speaker 1: nobody around. Uh. There was very little dealing with any 1242 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:59,520 Speaker 1: pr people to talk to her. UM and it required 1243 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,280 Speaker 1: basically no, you know, no gymnastics that might part at 1244 01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:05,600 Speaker 1: all to get her to any sense that she cares 1245 01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:11,960 Speaker 1: about fighting other cable hosts. Um, nobody cares, he said, Yeah, 1246 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:14,520 Speaker 1: I get the sense she doesn't care. Oh, I don't know. 1247 01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:16,840 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you know, she's been doing pretty 1248 01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:19,040 Speaker 1: much her arguments that she's been doing pretty much the 1249 01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 1: same thing on that show for years, and just now 1250 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:25,639 Speaker 1: in the political climate, it just so happens that it's 1251 01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,240 Speaker 1: a popular tactic to sort of explain things the way 1252 01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:29,760 Speaker 1: that she does, whether or not you agree with how 1253 01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:32,280 Speaker 1: she explains them or the conclusion she comes to, do 1254 01:08:32,400 --> 01:08:35,920 Speaker 1: you agree with me that you know, for example, over 1255 01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 1: the years, I remember when Bill Maher was back on 1256 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,799 Speaker 1: his politically incorrect days and he ended up getting fired, 1257 01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:43,840 Speaker 1: and it was people like me and Rush Lumbaugh and 1258 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,479 Speaker 1: other conservatives that said, don't fire them. And I have 1259 01:08:46,600 --> 01:08:52,439 Speaker 1: been a steady, a steadfast, if you will, supporter of 1260 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:56,400 Speaker 1: freedom of speech. And I have spoken out repeatedly against 1261 01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, people ask me, you're going to join the 1262 01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,439 Speaker 1: boycott against this and a boycott against and I said no, 1263 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,439 Speaker 1: because ultimately it's like a weapon to try and silence 1264 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:07,240 Speaker 1: opposition voices. And I'm confident enough as a conservative that 1265 01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:09,840 Speaker 1: if I make a good case, a strong case, that 1266 01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:14,479 Speaker 1: that people will be brought over to my side because 1267 01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,880 Speaker 1: of the appeals of the argument. Right Well, I mean, 1268 01:09:17,920 --> 01:09:23,240 Speaker 1: I agree that it's absurd to, you know, in most cases, 1269 01:09:23,280 --> 01:09:26,200 Speaker 1: to fire people for their opinions and for things that 1270 01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,160 Speaker 1: they say. Um, And I think it's you know, the 1271 01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:31,880 Speaker 1: way that speech is being sort of weaponized right now 1272 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:34,680 Speaker 1: by the last in college campuses. Things like that I 1273 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,960 Speaker 1: completely disagree with. There was a great Vice episode about 1274 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:41,080 Speaker 1: this recently about one college campus where it's just gotten 1275 01:09:41,120 --> 01:09:43,760 Speaker 1: completely out of control. Um. But I don't know if 1276 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:46,960 Speaker 1: it's like exactly falls along these political lines where everybody 1277 01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,120 Speaker 1: on the right is, you know, pro free speech and 1278 01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:50,960 Speaker 1: everybody on the left it against it. I think that 1279 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:54,640 Speaker 1: people who understand the First Amendment, uh, and understand it's 1280 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:57,800 Speaker 1: important and are intelligent in that way, are are in 1281 01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,040 Speaker 1: favor of freedom of speech, and people who don't have 1282 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: a very sophisticated understanding of it aren't. I don't think 1283 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 1: it's think a simple thing. The left is one way 1284 01:10:04,960 --> 01:10:08,439 Speaker 1: and the right together. So where would you put yourself 1285 01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:13,439 Speaker 1: on the political spectrum? You know, I just think everyone 1286 01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,759 Speaker 1: is an idiot for the most part, and I hate 1287 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 1: everybody almost equally. I mean we've talked about like you're 1288 01:10:19,040 --> 01:10:21,240 Speaker 1: calling me an idiot? Is that what you're saying? No? 1289 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,679 Speaker 1: I mean I think you know. I I don't agree 1290 01:10:23,880 --> 01:10:27,360 Speaker 1: with any party completely. I don't vote in presidential And 1291 01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,200 Speaker 1: you watch my show at times when you say that 1292 01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 1: guy makes a lot of sense, and sometimes they say 1293 01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,080 Speaker 1: he's making no sense at all, which is you know 1294 01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,040 Speaker 1: why we've gotten into debates before on Twitter, and you 1295 01:10:38,120 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 1: get into a one sided debate but that's okay. Oh please, 1296 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,439 Speaker 1: You went on a whole ranch against me when I 1297 01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:48,160 Speaker 1: was at a different publication. I don't even remember, all right, 1298 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:50,720 Speaker 1: but you have a tell us about the background. I 1299 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,560 Speaker 1: remember reading a New York Daily news piece about you 1300 01:10:53,760 --> 01:10:55,720 Speaker 1: and Anthony Weener, and I guess you were on his 1301 01:10:55,880 --> 01:11:00,040 Speaker 1: campaign and what happened. Well, so I would say a 1302 01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:02,519 Speaker 1: political columnist when I was in high school and New 1303 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,600 Speaker 1: Jersey where I grew up for an all weekly, and 1304 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 1: I sound like you're from New Jersey. I'm from Long 1305 01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 1: Long Island, New York. What are you doing? Don't you know? 1306 01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:14,720 Speaker 1: I think I have like a nineties actent more than 1307 01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:18,960 Speaker 1: I have a geographical accent um. But I thought perhaps 1308 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: I wanted to be a speechwriter. And you know, I 1309 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:23,960 Speaker 1: was writing this column and I ran out of ideas 1310 01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:26,879 Speaker 1: because I ran out of opinions because I was, you know, eighteen, 1311 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:29,560 Speaker 1: and I thought I should get some political experience. And 1312 01:11:29,880 --> 01:11:32,080 Speaker 1: I thought it would be very funny to be a 1313 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:36,160 Speaker 1: communications intern on the Anthony Wiener campaign, because you know, 1314 01:11:36,200 --> 01:11:39,080 Speaker 1: where could you learn more about communications than on something 1315 01:11:39,200 --> 01:11:41,400 Speaker 1: like that. Right, it was going to be insane and 1316 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 1: probably a disaster no matter what. And I was shocked 1317 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: when they agreed to let me intern for them because 1318 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 1: I I said in my application that I wanted to 1319 01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:50,920 Speaker 1: be a journalist and I wrote for different publications and 1320 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 1: I thought that they might be too smart to agree 1321 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:55,479 Speaker 1: to that. But it turned out that they were not 1322 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 1: smart at Hall, and they let me come onto the 1323 01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,800 Speaker 1: campaign and I was there for about a month, um, 1324 01:12:01,200 --> 01:12:02,960 Speaker 1: and I you know, it was a terrible intern. I 1325 01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,560 Speaker 1: like hardly ever showed up um as I you know, 1326 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,439 Speaker 1: I never did really was supposed to do. And then 1327 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:11,240 Speaker 1: when it started to fall apart, I wrote about it 1328 01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,960 Speaker 1: for a magazine I was working for called Not Safe 1329 01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:16,080 Speaker 1: for Work Corps. And then the Daily News asked me 1330 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,640 Speaker 1: to write a follow up um, And they ended up 1331 01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,840 Speaker 1: putting me on the cover up the paper without without 1332 01:12:21,920 --> 01:12:26,160 Speaker 1: my knowledge, and it turned into by Fire. That's got 1333 01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:29,000 Speaker 1: to be pretty rewarding, all right. Well, I I mean 1334 01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,160 Speaker 1: initially it was very upset to be on the cover 1335 01:12:31,320 --> 01:12:33,320 Speaker 1: because it looked like I had sold my story. It 1336 01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:36,120 Speaker 1: looked like I didn't write the story myself. Uh, and 1337 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:37,960 Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, I just thought it looked bad. 1338 01:12:37,960 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: It looked like they had photographed me, and I was 1339 01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,800 Speaker 1: trying to be this this tabloid personality, which is not 1340 01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:44,960 Speaker 1: what I was trying to do. But you have to 1341 01:12:45,040 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: understand what I was growing up. My dad would always 1342 01:12:46,960 --> 01:12:48,720 Speaker 1: bring home the New York Post and the Daily News 1343 01:12:48,760 --> 01:12:51,120 Speaker 1: every day, and comparatively, the Daily News seems like a 1344 01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:56,480 Speaker 1: very serious sort of calm. No, it's a very liberal newspaper, 1345 01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 1: and it's gotten more liberal over there. You know. I 1346 01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: used to deliver the New York Day only news in 1347 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:04,200 Speaker 1: the morning before I went to school. I delivered Newsday 1348 01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 1: when I was eight years old. I delivered the Long 1349 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,120 Speaker 1: Island Press when I was like ten, and I delivered 1350 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 1: a lot of papers before I got a promotion to 1351 01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,760 Speaker 1: a dishwasher by hand in a restaurant at twelve years old. 1352 01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: Now you could never do that. You have to have 1353 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:21,240 Speaker 1: the chaperon and trailing you on your bike. That's you know. 1354 01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:23,360 Speaker 1: The cool part though, is I was twelve years old 1355 01:13:23,400 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 1: and I had worked on two or three in the morning, 1356 01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,240 Speaker 1: and at thirteen and became a cook, fourteen fifteen, a 1357 01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:30,760 Speaker 1: bus boy, waiter, bartender. Then I went into construction for 1358 01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:33,560 Speaker 1: ten years, but when I was twelve years old and 1359 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,280 Speaker 1: I finished working at two or three in the morning. 1360 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,559 Speaker 1: I mean, imagine riding home on your bike at two 1361 01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,840 Speaker 1: or three in the morning. And these days, but you know, 1362 01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:42,720 Speaker 1: I literally have one or two Sat Pauli girls and 1363 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:47,679 Speaker 1: I'd be flying home literally, I mean you know. And meanwhile, 1364 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,840 Speaker 1: my kids have never been out of somebody's site at 1365 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:54,760 Speaker 1: at any point in their lives. Are you a helicopter parent? Well, 1366 01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:57,000 Speaker 1: I can't because I worked too much, but I I 1367 01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,560 Speaker 1: try and and I try in helicopter Yeah, actually do 1368 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,840 Speaker 1: to a certain extent. And I'm not gonna lie, which 1369 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:12,679 Speaker 1: is funny. Problem what you're part of the problem? Then, well, wow, listen, 1370 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,600 Speaker 1: you can't this. This is such a different day in 1371 01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:19,080 Speaker 1: age um and you're in a different generation than I am. Anyway, 1372 01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,960 Speaker 1: I can't talk about this at all. I'm just that's ridiculous. 1373 01:14:22,960 --> 01:14:24,599 Speaker 1: I used people used to say that to me because 1374 01:14:24,600 --> 01:14:26,360 Speaker 1: I used to always say, I'm never gonna hit my kids. 1375 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:27,920 Speaker 1: And by the way, you don't have to hit your kids. 1376 01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:29,479 Speaker 1: I don't hit my kids. I never hit them either. 1377 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:31,760 Speaker 1: You just take away their iPhone or their iPad, or 1378 01:14:31,840 --> 01:14:35,600 Speaker 1: their PlayStation or their Xbox, and you get full compliance 1379 01:14:35,680 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: within seconds. It totally works Korea. Well, just what we're 1380 01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:45,400 Speaker 1: gonna take away Kim Jong uns? What his his ability 1381 01:14:45,439 --> 01:14:48,679 Speaker 1: to kill his cousins and brothers and step sisters or whatever, 1382 01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:51,800 Speaker 1: take away his choice, take away his ability to play 1383 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:55,920 Speaker 1: basketball or something. With Dennis Rodman, what do you think? 1384 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been saying I don't think there's any 1385 01:14:57,880 --> 01:14:59,880 Speaker 1: good options here. And I can play at the tape 1386 01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:01,560 Speaker 1: of Bill Clinton when he made this deal and he 1387 01:15:01,640 --> 01:15:04,880 Speaker 1: tried to block bribe Kim Jong ill his father, and 1388 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, I told the American people, this is a 1389 01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:09,320 Speaker 1: good deal for the American people. Somehow of a good 1390 01:15:09,360 --> 01:15:13,840 Speaker 1: deal trying to blackmail a rogue dictatorship out of building 1391 01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:16,599 Speaker 1: nuclear weapons. I think Obama just made the same mistake 1392 01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:18,160 Speaker 1: with Iran, and we'll be dealing with that in a 1393 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:21,680 Speaker 1: few years. I mean, I would never know purport to 1394 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,160 Speaker 1: have any special insight into what we should do militarily 1395 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,600 Speaker 1: with North Korea. But are you ducking the question? What 1396 01:15:27,720 --> 01:15:30,240 Speaker 1: do you see any good options? I don't know what 1397 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,680 Speaker 1: the option movie I'm you know, I'm a twenty four 1398 01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,880 Speaker 1: year old writer. No one's coming to me for advice 1399 01:15:34,920 --> 01:15:36,400 Speaker 1: about what's to do? Is I never got on the 1400 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 1: front page of the Daily News to knock on wood. 1401 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,040 Speaker 1: All right, stay right, there will continue.

You don't like alternative voices on the program, 1414 01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:36,559 Speaker 1: and then you just being nice And that's the things 1415 01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:39,080 Speaker 1: I get great. I don't remember what I said, but 1416 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:42,599 Speaker 1: I stamped by whatever it was. Have you ever gone 1417 01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,240 Speaker 1: back on your opinion? Have you ever thought one thing 1418 01:16:45,280 --> 01:16:46,920 Speaker 1: and then said I was dead wrong? Because I have 1419 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 1: of course, yeah, all the time. You know what the 1420 01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 1: biggest when the fact change, you change your mind. Right, 1421 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,320 Speaker 1: there's just that old saying. So all the time, I'm 1422 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, involving on what I think about things. You know, 1423 01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:00,760 Speaker 1: everyone says that if you have a opinions, you never 1424 01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:02,880 Speaker 1: have an open mind. It's so not true that one 1425 01:17:02,920 --> 01:17:06,800 Speaker 1: of the bigger cases, remember the Elian Gonzalez case, and 1426 01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,519 Speaker 1: and they went into this young kid and they dragged 1427 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:12,000 Speaker 1: him back to Fidel. You know, part of me was thinking, 1428 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 1: all right, well, he's got a father, the father has 1429 01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:17,320 Speaker 1: writes too, and and probably the father misses his son, etcetera. 1430 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,320 Speaker 1: And then I interviewed this woman and wrote a book, 1431 01:17:20,360 --> 01:17:23,200 Speaker 1: The Kids from Pedro Pond. And when I read it 1432 01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,160 Speaker 1: and I talked to her, she convinced me that, well, okay, yeah, 1433 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,040 Speaker 1: he's gonna be with his father, but he's going to 1434 01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,599 Speaker 1: be an indoctrinated robot by the end of the process, 1435 01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 1: and he's gonna be basically a propaganda tool for Fidel, 1436 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:38,240 Speaker 1: which he became. And so I switched my opinion. Don't 1437 01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,040 Speaker 1: you think that people should have more open minds? Don't 1438 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:41,840 Speaker 1: you think it's more bitter than it's ever been? Do 1439 01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:44,120 Speaker 1: you like it or not like it? So I like 1440 01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:48,519 Speaker 1: the current state of things. Well, I mean, obviously it's 1441 01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,360 Speaker 1: very interesting time to be a journalist. But it's impossible 1442 01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: to say anything basically without people ripping your head off. 1443 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,800 Speaker 1: I mean when it comes to you know, it's like 1444 01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 1: last week I was the liberal shill according to my 1445 01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: critic because of my cover story about Joe and Nika. 1446 01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,400 Speaker 1: This week I interviewed somebody who was formerly with the 1447 01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:08,400 Speaker 1: alt right and now I'm, you know, a Nazi propagandist. 1448 01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know what it means. Could you tell me, 1449 01:18:11,040 --> 01:18:14,120 Speaker 1: because I keep it's a new term relatively, what is it? Well, 1450 01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:17,519 Speaker 1: the alt right? I mean, initially the term was defined 1451 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 1: on Breitbart. Actually you know, it's being just an alternative 1452 01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:25,120 Speaker 1: to conservative, to the conservative establishment, just you know, an 1453 01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,479 Speaker 1: alternative right basically exactly what the title says. But over 1454 01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:31,880 Speaker 1: the last year or over the last year and a half, 1455 01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:35,720 Speaker 1: um it sort of became synonymous with white nationalism as 1456 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,720 Speaker 1: people like Richard Spencer latched onto it, and then you 1457 01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:42,960 Speaker 1: see people distancing themselves from it, so milogistens themselves from it. 1458 01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:47,200 Speaker 1: Mike Serna bitual I interviewed this week, and as a 1459 01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:51,560 Speaker 1: conservative every election year, every four years, where racist, sexist, misogynists, 1460 01:18:51,560 --> 01:18:56,080 Speaker 1: the comophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic. I resent it because I am 1461 01:18:56,160 --> 01:19:01,000 Speaker 1: a Reagan Conservative. I still am, and I think Trump 1462 01:19:01,160 --> 01:19:03,200 Speaker 1: is far more than people ever give them credit for. 1463 01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,599 Speaker 1: And I can go over policy details in at another time. 1464 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,880 Speaker 1: And every election year, that's the playbook of the Democrats 1465 01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:13,000 Speaker 1: every four years. I'm sick of it. Well, I don't remember, 1466 01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong. I don't remember there 1467 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:21,559 Speaker 1: being Mit Romney rallies where skinheads showed up. But I'm 1468 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:24,360 Speaker 1: not saying that the wait a minute, mit Romney was 1469 01:19:24,400 --> 01:19:27,680 Speaker 1: accused because he had women's resumes and a binder of 1470 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,400 Speaker 1: being a sexist. I'm like, he wants to hire people. 1471 01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,240 Speaker 1: Want to think to think about that today, that he 1472 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:36,479 Speaker 1: got in trouble for saying that he wanted to hire women. Basically, 1473 01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:40,479 Speaker 1: it's completely ridiculous, especially given what politicians can get away 1474 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:44,400 Speaker 1: within seventeen Yeah, it's completely ridiculous. But I mean to 1475 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,599 Speaker 1: that point though, if you can't say anything now basically 1476 01:19:48,080 --> 01:19:51,040 Speaker 1: without people screening at you from one set or the other, 1477 01:19:51,120 --> 01:19:53,800 Speaker 1: and oftentimes, you know, I don't think that it's just 1478 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,720 Speaker 1: oft times it is from sound true. If the sun 1479 01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:59,440 Speaker 1: rises in the sunsets, there's going to be a boycott, 1480 01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,240 Speaker 1: fire hand care, but I get it all right, Olivia. 1481 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:04,320 Speaker 1: Thank you God bless you have a great weekend, and 1482 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: thanks for being on the program.

You know your vote is 1549 01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 1: canceling out the vote of all those good people that 1550 01:26:28,439 --> 01:26:34,800 Speaker 1: are keeping Texas, you know, free and and a constitutional republic. Wait, wait, sorry, 1551 01:26:34,840 --> 01:26:37,120 Speaker 1: if you can hear me clearly, I'm not a liberal. 1552 01:26:37,160 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 1: I'm more of an independent that I gotta. You're casting 1553 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:41,840 Speaker 1: me for people to be negative. But says that on 1554 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:45,240 Speaker 1: my screen. So my call screener, who's rarely wrong, says that, 1555 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:47,599 Speaker 1: let's let's give you a little know you. You've always 1556 01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:49,400 Speaker 1: cast me as that, and I understand it. But I 1557 01:26:49,640 --> 01:26:51,920 Speaker 1: voted for Obama. How many times one of the times 1558 01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:54,840 Speaker 1: did you vote for Obama? And then about Trump and 1559 01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 1: North how many times did you vote for Obama? Well, listen, yeah, 1560 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:01,599 Speaker 1: I did both, Bible, but that doesn't make me live there. 1561 01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:07,800 Speaker 1: Just Hillary or Trump? Hillary Okay, what he is a 1562 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:10,680 Speaker 1: disaster right now, so I would have bet it. I 1563 01:27:10,680 --> 01:27:12,840 Speaker 1: would have did better. But they when it comes to 1564 01:27:12,920 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: North Korea, I have to admit this. I am somewhat 1565 01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 1: on board with Trump's position because as far as I'm concerned, 1566 01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,000 Speaker 1: North Korea is doing like a high school kids. You know, 1567 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:23,320 Speaker 1: you don't want to be picked on, so you go 1568 01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,840 Speaker 1: up to the biggest guy. You're the biggest bullying and 1569 01:27:25,880 --> 01:27:28,840 Speaker 1: you try to fight him. North Korea knows it couldn't 1570 01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:31,160 Speaker 1: stand a chance against it to get popularity by talking 1571 01:27:31,200 --> 01:27:33,639 Speaker 1: against America. But I do take down the Trump position 1572 01:27:33,800 --> 01:27:36,719 Speaker 1: because America needs to respect. You don't just talk about 1573 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,680 Speaker 1: destroying America. We're too big for that. Russia don't do it. 1574 01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,080 Speaker 1: They have respect and they're much bigger than in North Korea. 1575 01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,120 Speaker 1: China don't do it, Pakistan don't do it. So you 1576 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:48,880 Speaker 1: do have to give United States its respect, and that's 1577 01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:51,600 Speaker 1: the reason why we'll go with Trump. I don't you 1578 01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:56,160 Speaker 1: don't threaten because of issues involving respect. I mean, it's 1579 01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:59,800 Speaker 1: sort of like, no, it's not and somebody says, well, 1580 01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,000 Speaker 1: that's respect. On the street. You don't go threatening people 1581 01:28:03,200 --> 01:28:05,599 Speaker 1: because as soon as you threaten somebody you might get 1582 01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:08,639 Speaker 1: something you can't handle. You a person who's smart, don't 1583 01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:12,840 Speaker 1: threat you do. But there's nobody I'm one of. I'm 1584 01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:16,519 Speaker 1: a person that has trained in in very very violent 1585 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:20,000 Speaker 1: street martial arts for six years. Um.

Do you know what 1587 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:27,439 Speaker 1: the last thing I'm ever gonna do is, I'm I'm 1588 01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:31,599 Speaker 1: gonna walk away in any time I can, and I'll 1589 01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:34,000 Speaker 1: take any name. So, and I want to say this 1590 01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:35,760 Speaker 1: about you, and I gotta address You're gonna let me 1591 01:28:35,760 --> 01:28:37,600 Speaker 1: address you on some issues. Okay, So you want to 1592 01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:39,160 Speaker 1: slam me and you want me to be quiet as 1593 01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: you do it. Go ahead. Well, No, here's the thing 1594 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,720 Speaker 1: that worries me. Sean for me. When I'm looking at 1595 01:28:44,760 --> 01:28:47,960 Speaker 1: our politics lately, I've been noticing what's right it's not wrong, 1596 01:28:48,040 --> 01:28:51,840 Speaker 1: and what's wrong is not right.

But my thing is this, 1600 01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:03,560 Speaker 1: I wonder when are you gonna call him out? I 1601 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,240 Speaker 1: saw you as a part of his propaganda arm. When 1602 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,559 Speaker 1: you did this Mark Rich story, and then y'all got 1603 01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,560 Speaker 1: burned on that. And then you don't talk about the 1604 01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:14,200 Speaker 1: Trump son son in law being a backchatter. You don't 1605 01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:17,280 Speaker 1: talk about Jump Tump Trump Junior trying to set up something. 1606 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:19,519 Speaker 1: You classify this fake news, but you and I both 1607 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:22,519 Speaker 1: know a lot of those things did transpire. Manifold on 1608 01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:25,720 Speaker 1: the investigation. Michael Flinn on the investigation. Everybody talks to 1609 01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,800 Speaker 1: the Russian, but you act as if nothing's there, like 1610 01:29:28,960 --> 01:29:31,160 Speaker 1: it is a nothing burger, when in fact, if you 1611 01:29:31,240 --> 01:29:33,519 Speaker 1: really slow down, even in back of your mind, you 1612 01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:37,000 Speaker 1: have to question Trump. But you don't question Trump. And 1613 01:29:37,080 --> 01:29:40,360 Speaker 1: I feel you let your listeners down because every single 1614 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:43,800 Speaker 1: day it's something Trump is being wrong, just like when 1615 01:29:43,840 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: it was Obama, every single thing he did was wrong. 1616 01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:50,479 Speaker 1: Everything Trump does can't be right. And when are you 1617 01:29:50,600 --> 01:29:54,240 Speaker 1: going to really be a chine yourself. I've taken I've 1618 01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:56,439 Speaker 1: taken your criticism and to heart, and I've given you 1619 01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:58,200 Speaker 1: a fair shot. Let me let me answer your question. 1620 01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:04,439 Speaker 1: I report the agenda I support. He has not wavered, 1621 01:30:04,720 --> 01:30:08,760 Speaker 1: he's not changed, He's not a different person. He said 1622 01:30:08,800 --> 01:30:10,840 Speaker 1: the same thing in West Virginia that he was saying 1623 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 1: out on the campaign trail. I was out on the 1624 01:30:12,880 --> 01:30:17,559 Speaker 1: campaign trail with him, and nobody's perfect and everybody makes mistakes. 1625 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:20,559 Speaker 1: And I would argue that that at times politically the president, 1626 01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,560 Speaker 1: you know, has had to learn on the job. But 1627 01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 1: he's not Mitch McConnell's right in the sense he's not 1628 01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,559 Speaker 1: a professional politician. I actually view that as a plus. 1629 01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:34,200 Speaker 1: What I like about Donald Trump is it's not about 1630 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,479 Speaker 1: what you suggest, it's not about access. It's not about 1631 01:30:38,400 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 1: um um knowing the person or the personality at all. 1632 01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:44,920 Speaker 1: Although I've known him for for a couple of decades 1633 01:30:44,960 --> 01:30:46,680 Speaker 1: and I do like him. I I happen to be 1634 01:30:46,760 --> 01:30:48,479 Speaker 1: fond of him, and I love the fact that he's 1635 01:30:48,560 --> 01:30:50,960 Speaker 1: courageous and strong, and I thought we saw that yesterday. 1636 01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:54,080 Speaker 1: I love the resolve that he showed yesterday by calling 1637 01:30:54,080 --> 01:30:57,280 Speaker 1: out the Republican Party to keep their promises. But when 1638 01:30:57,320 --> 01:31:01,000 Speaker 1: he talks about the forgotten men and women, which he 1639 01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,840 Speaker 1: related to, I really I identify with the forgotten man 1640 01:31:03,920 --> 01:31:06,200 Speaker 1: and woman. But all those people out of work, in 1641 01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:09,200 Speaker 1: poverty on food stamps, they can buy a house, all 1642 01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:13,479 Speaker 1: of those Americans left behind. And I see him ending 1643 01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:17,519 Speaker 1: Obama era regulations so we can be energy and dependent 1644 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 1: good for national security, and it will create millions of 1645 01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:22,960 Speaker 1: high paying career jobs. I support it when he talks 1646 01:31:22,960 --> 01:31:25,120 Speaker 1: about middle class tax cuts. I support it when he 1647 01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,479 Speaker 1: talks about corporate tax cuts so we we get jobs 1648 01:31:28,520 --> 01:31:31,559 Speaker 1: and manufacturing centers and factories built. I support it. When 1649 01:31:31,600 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 1: he talks about repatriation of of trillions from multinationals. I 1650 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,760 Speaker 1: support it. When he talks about building the wall for 1651 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,280 Speaker 1: our safety and security so people don't steal our jobs. 1652 01:31:40,360 --> 01:31:43,400 Speaker 1: I support it when he talks about free and fair trade. 1653 01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:46,919 Speaker 1: I support it. When he talks about identifying evil isis 1654 01:31:46,960 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 1: in our time and and not being so politically incorrect. 1655 01:31:49,800 --> 01:31:52,840 Speaker 1: I support it and the evidence that I believed all 1656 01:31:52,960 --> 01:31:56,920 Speaker 1: of these things long before Donald Trump ever got into politics. 1657 01:31:57,479 --> 01:31:59,200 Speaker 1: And I'll put it back up on my website if 1658 01:31:59,240 --> 01:32:02,200 Speaker 1: you'd like, But go look at my I put it 1659 01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:06,840 Speaker 1: up in, talked about it in, and I've talked about it, 1660 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:10,280 Speaker 1: frankly my entire career. Everything I just mentioned to you 1661 01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:13,720 Speaker 1: is what a Reagan Republican would do. Everything I just 1662 01:32:13,920 --> 01:32:17,720 Speaker 1: mentioned to you is what I've always believed in. And 1663 01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:21,240 Speaker 1: my agenda leading up to the Conservative Solution Caucus in 1664 01:32:22,640 --> 01:32:25,840 Speaker 1: is the same one, and I'm gonna be honest, I 1665 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: really don't care. I've been to the White House during 1666 01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:31,040 Speaker 1: the Bush years. I've interviewed President, secretaries of State, defense, 1667 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:34,320 Speaker 1: and and the likes and candidates my whole life. That's 1668 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:37,439 Speaker 1: not what motivates me. What motivates me is I see 1669 01:32:37,520 --> 01:32:40,400 Speaker 1: fifty million of our fellow Americans on food stamps, fifty 1670 01:32:40,439 --> 01:32:44,639 Speaker 1: million in poverty. Obama put thirteen more million on food stamps, 1671 01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:47,960 Speaker 1: eight million more in poverty. He doubled the national debt. 1672 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,960 Speaker 1: He gave us the lowest job participation rates since the seventies, 1673 01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:55,120 Speaker 1: and the worst recovery since the forties, and the lowest 1674 01:32:55,160 --> 01:32:57,760 Speaker 1: home ownership rate in fifty one years. So if you're 1675 01:32:57,760 --> 01:33:00,960 Speaker 1: asking what motivates me, it's not access, it's not Sean Hannity, 1676 01:33:01,040 --> 01:33:03,040 Speaker 1: It's not money because when I started in radio, I 1677 01:33:03,080 --> 01:33:05,200 Speaker 1: didn't make any money. I worked for free, and then 1678 01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:06,640 Speaker 1: I worked for a little and no money, and I 1679 01:33:06,680 --> 01:33:08,800 Speaker 1: took a huge pay cut, and I never thought i'd 1680 01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:11,920 Speaker 1: be successful, to be blunt, So you know, if you 1681 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,280 Speaker 1: you can make these accusations and it's it's I guess 1682 01:33:15,360 --> 01:33:17,280 Speaker 1: maybe from your side that's how you see it. But 1683 01:33:17,360 --> 01:33:20,120 Speaker 1: if you really know me, if you've listened to me 1684 01:33:20,240 --> 01:33:23,200 Speaker 1: over these many many years I've been on radio, it's 1685 01:33:23,240 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 1: like my thirtieth year. Then you know it's total bologney 1686 01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 1: because I've been saying these things for my entire career, 1687 01:33:30,920 --> 01:33:34,200 Speaker 1: just with different news and different sources and different information 1688 01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:37,800 Speaker 1: every day as I get smarter, hopefully, wiser, hopefully, and 1689 01:33:37,920 --> 01:33:40,719 Speaker 1: as I see things a little bit better and brighter, 1690 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,040 Speaker 1: as I get older and more, a little bit more 1691 01:33:43,120 --> 01:33:46,960 Speaker 1: insightful with a little bit more life experience. So you know, 1692 01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:50,519 Speaker 1: I can't convince you that this is true, but there's evidence, 1693 01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:54,160 Speaker 1: empirical evidence that proves what I'm saying is true. I'll 1694 01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:57,160 Speaker 1: give you the last word to refute that. Go ahead. 1695 01:33:58,960 --> 01:34:03,960 Speaker 1: It's not that Sean. Main thing is this Trumps up front. 1696 01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:08,879 Speaker 1: I call him Trump shady and like the Trump University, 1697 01:34:08,960 --> 01:34:13,320 Speaker 1: Trump will. Trump has promised everything bigly, bigly, just because 1698 01:34:13,479 --> 01:34:16,040 Speaker 1: and he's been fronting. He'll tell you, like you said, 1699 01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:18,880 Speaker 1: he's made the statements. He You know, I don't have 1700 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,120 Speaker 1: a lot of time. Listen, there is so much evidence 1701 01:34:21,160 --> 01:34:24,360 Speaker 1: of success. We now have a million jobs. We now 1702 01:34:24,439 --> 01:34:26,679 Speaker 1: have fewer people on food stamps than in the last 1703 01:34:26,720 --> 01:34:30,040 Speaker 1: seven years. We have more economic growth than anybody ever 1704 01:34:30,120 --> 01:34:33,559 Speaker 1: imagined Obama never got to three percent GDP in all 1705 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:37,240 Speaker 1: the years he was president. I if he ever gets 1706 01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,920 Speaker 1: his agenda done, which I put on the on the 1707 01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:44,160 Speaker 1: Republican Party shoulder in Congress, if he ever gets that done, 1708 01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:46,519 Speaker 1: I predict, like in the Reagan years, we're gonna have 1709 01:34:46,520 --> 01:34:49,640 Speaker 1: an economic boom when jobs created. And I like that 1710 01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:53,000 Speaker 1: he's tough on national security. Short of that, personalities don't 1711 01:34:53,080 --> 01:34:56,880 Speaker 1: matter a whole lot to me in politics. Truth, fidelity 1712 01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:02,080 Speaker 1: to promises, a vision, principles that guide you. Well, I've 1713 01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,560 Speaker 1: seen a president that hasn't waivered since the campaign, and 1714 01:35:04,640 --> 01:35:06,720 Speaker 1: I was out there with it, um, but I can't 1715 01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:09,000 Speaker 1: convince you. Look, you're you're gonna believe what You're gonna believe. 1716 01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:11,599 Speaker 1: It is what it is. And I accept that there's 1717 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:14,479 Speaker 1: a lot of people that I think this is very 1718 01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:16,720 Speaker 1: different than what reality is. But I'm never gonna be 1719 01:35:16,760 --> 01:35:18,639 Speaker 1: able to convince you otherwise. So I'm not gonna try. 1720 01:35:18,720 --> 01:35:20,400 Speaker 1: I'm just gonna explain it to those people that do 1721 01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:22,920 Speaker 1: have an open mind to hear it. Alright, have a 1722 01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:26,479 Speaker 1: great weekend, appreciate it. Thank you, Tracy one seawan.

We'll be watching very closely, monitoring 1728 01:35:47,240 --> 01:35:50,439 Speaker 1: very closely, all of the events coming out of North Korea, 1729 01:35:50,600 --> 01:35:53,439 Speaker 1: will be monitoring very closely whether or not Republicans can 1730 01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:56,040 Speaker 1: get their act together. We'll have a lot more on 1731 01:35:56,280 --> 01:35:58,479 Speaker 1: all of these issues on Monday, as whom the President 1732 01:35:58,520 --> 01:36:01,000 Speaker 1: will make news this weekend, concern ring he's not on vacation. 1733 01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:03,400 Speaker 1: Have a great weekend and we'll see you back here Monday, 1734 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:04,800 Speaker 1: and hope you get some rest.
