27
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: want to actually read the entire letter later in the

28
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: program today about Charles craudhemer Uh. He has been fighting

29
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: a good fight against cancer and sadly, as he says

30
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: in his letter, the my doctors tell me their best

31
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: estimate is I only have a few weeks left to live.

32
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: And he writes, this is the final verdict. My fight

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,039
Speaker 1: is over. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: his family. And but I'm gonna tell you a little

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: story about Charles and our relationship and and something that

36
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: he he actually told me. I tell your story, the

37
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: story about you and me all the time, and um,

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: how his whole life is a profile encourage in so

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: many ways and we can all learn from his courage. Uh,

40
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: we've got an update. I mean, I cannot even believe

41
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: what this is evolved into. But it's um, although it's

42
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: stopped because the media has actually figured out that in

43
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: many ways, how dumb they are. When I said, if, if,

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: if kidding, bad idea won't work out well for you,

45
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: I'd never give the advice. Um. And that's when I said, oh, well,

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: Robert Mueller wants your phones. I if I were to suggest,

47
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I said, if you know, words do matter? That that

48
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: dope on MSNBC said Hannity words matter. His words are powerful.

49
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: He's living off his words. Like okay, yeah, that's the

50
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: whole point of you would actually read and listen and

51
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: pay attention. You know, you might get better grades in school.

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: Uh and you might actually learn how to host a

53
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: TV show. You never know, but the end of it.

54
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: But anyway, so this idea, I said, well, if I

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 1: were to tell people to do what Hillary did, I

56
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: Wholso it's not gonna work out well for you. It's

57
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: not because it's a bad idea. I said, bad idea

58
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: kidding Um that you just say, oh, Mueller wants my

59
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: cell phone? Well, I know what I'm gonna do. I'm

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna erase everything. I'm gonna delete everything, and I'm gonna

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: acid wash the cell phone with bleach bitten and erase

62
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: the hard drive. I'm gonna pull out the SIM card

63
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: and just to make sure, I'll bust it up into

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: etsy bitsy pieces and handed to Robert Mueller and the

65
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: media goes insane, they lost their minds. We'll have a

66
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: lot on on that today. What an incredible week next

67
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: week is for all of us as we bring you

68
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: the show from Singapore at the summit. Uh, we are

69
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: not going to be able now with the announcement of

70
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: the IG Report on Thursday. It is a twenty two

71
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: hour flight from New York to Singapore. Twenty two hours.

72
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: It's it's a like one of the longest flights you

73
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: can have. How far is it from New York to

74
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: to New Zealand It's gotta be or or it's pretty long,

75
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: right or Australia. And I don't I don't have a

76
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: big bucket list as everybody else has in life. And

77
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 1: I'm not the big world traveler that all these people are.

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 1: I just haven't been. You know, the first time I

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: was on a plane, I was twenty years old, and

80
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: it was just a short flight from Rhode Island to

81
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: New York. That was it. And I remember it was

82
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 1: so cheap, like a hundred bucks round trip. I was like,

83
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: all right, I don't take that deal anyway. So we uh,

84
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: will be broadcasting all next week from from Singapore. But

85
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: because of the announcement that the i G reports coming

86
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: out on Thursday, well we're not gonna be able to

87
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: get back in time. But we'll be doing our shows. Literally,

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: this radio show will be at three in the morning,

89
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,279
Speaker 1: our TV show will be at nine in the morning,

90
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and we look forward to being there. And uh, I mean,

91
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: there's a lot of hope here. And this is the

92
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: sad position the left now finds themselves in in America

93
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: because for them to be successful in November, they've got

94
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 1: to hope Donald Trump fails. Well, the only problem is

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is not failing. The problem for them is

96
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Donald Trump is succeeding in five three days at a

97
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 1: level that nobody anticipated. We had the same guy that

98
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: nobody thought could win the primary, the same guy that

99
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: they were laughing at when he announced he was running

100
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: for president, the same guy that they were laughing at

101
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: any idea that he could beat Hillary Clinton and the

102
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: Clinton machine. Well, now he's exceeded all expectations. On the economy,

103
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that we have more jobs now

104
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: in America than we have with people on unemployment. It

105
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: blows me away, and it should blow all of us away,

106
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: and it should make us happy. Oh I I know

107
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: what the last election was about, because we covered it

108
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 1: every single day, was about the forgotten men and women

109
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,839
Speaker 1: of America. And for those people, we now have millions

110
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: of fewer people on on food stamps in America, millions

111
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: of fewer people on in poverty. Look at this. These

112
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: numbers are are just mind numbing in terms of how

113
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: well things are going for the country. You know, now

114
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: we have household wealth that has hit an all time high.

115
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: Federal reserves latest Flow of Funds report shows that the

116
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 1: US net worth of US households rolls over a hundred

117
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 1: trillion dollars for the first time ever, hitting a new

118
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: all time high of a hundred point eight trillion dollars.

119
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Report noted our Americans now own one d and sixteen

120
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 1: point three trillion dollars in assets and have a modest

121
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: fifteen point six trillion in liabilities, something that's just the

122
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: rich handed. No. I mean, I couldn't believe that Nancy

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Pelosi would refer to tax cuts as crumbs and actively

124
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: campaigning on the idea that she wants to take the thousand,

125
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: two thousand dollars per family back, the crumbs back. Well,

126
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I know what it's like not to have money, because

127
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I didn't make any money in my career. I didn't

128
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: have any money. And I know what it's like to

129
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: live paycheck to paycheck to paycheck for a lot of

130
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 1: years in my life. And while you work in TV,

131
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: you get bab bah bah, you work in radio, Okay,

132
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: But I never thought I'd succeed in any of it.

133
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, I thought i'd be doing something else.

134
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: Thank God, Frankly, I've been blessed beyond anything I ever imagined.

135
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: And I feel honored every day to have this microphone.

136
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: And I thank all of you for making it possible.

137
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 1: We're in the fight of our lives right now for

138
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: this country. That's what this whole You know, we got

139
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: new charges against Manift today, Okay, shocking, Yeah, what is

140
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: what what the whole man of four case about Land

141
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: of four cases, about trying to squeeze manifort, put the

142
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: screws to him. I'm quoting Judge Ellis the third, to

143
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: make him sing or maybe composed. Composed means I'll make

144
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: up the story to make this go away. You mean

145
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna give me thirty years in jail, or if

146
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: I sign this paper saying Donald Trump did a B

147
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: or C, you'll let me out for free. I get

148
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: a get out of jail card for free. That's what's

149
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: singing and composing is all about. And Alice even said,

150
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: it's about, oh, getting him to sing so he can

151
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: prosecute him. And if you can prosecute him or impeach him,

152
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: the judge is right. Judge understands it. Anyway, I digress.

153
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,439
Speaker 1: But this look at the soaring economy. It's now lifting

154
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the president's approval ratings all across the board, holding steady

155
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: at now for a long time. I would also argue,

156
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 1: and you can say, hand it is a speculation on

157
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: your part. I'm allowed to have my opinions. And anyway,

158
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: I just think that his numbers, he will always pull

159
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: lower than what he really is. I think there's a

160
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: group of people that's secretly like Donald Trump, that want

161
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: that that are not gonna tell any polster that they

162
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: like him and support him. They're gonna tell him to

163
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: pound sand I mean Mitt Romney today saying, oh, Trump's

164
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna win in Romney. I mean there was a point

165
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: there where he really seemed to hate the president. I

166
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: know he's running percent it. And if this was always

167
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: hard for me because I always like Ment Romney, I

168
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 1: always liked personally. I think Mitt Romney is a wonderful person.

169
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 1: His wife is a wonderful woman, his kids are amazing.

170
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: I have no idea why he went off the rails

171
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: as it relates to Donald Trumble. I know they're different people.

172
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: I know that Donald Trump comes look, he offends people's sensibilities.

173
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: I understand it. You know there, I know that all

174
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 1: my I grew up in New York, but I lived

175
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: in the South. There very different sensibilities. I prefer. I

176
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 1: prefer Southern sensibilities, even as a native New Yorker. It's

177
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: much nicer, it really is. But I don't think America

178
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 1: was looking for nice and predictable, an establishment and vanilla

179
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 1: up a vanilla president that was afraid, like all the

180
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: other presidents, to do bold things. America voted for a

181
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: disruptor and an iconoclass and somebody that says, well, well,

182
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: maybe that's the way he used to do We're gonna

183
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: do it this way, just like with all the pardons

184
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 1: that have been going on. I love these issues of

185
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: the pardons. Hey, you know, President out there today was

186
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: wide range of issues. I know it. I'll play a

187
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: lot of it in the next half hour discussing the

188
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: upcoming summit with Kim Jong un, little rocket man. Everybody

189
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 1: in the media predicted nuclear war. I'll only do a

190
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 1: deal with North Korea through Congress, unlike what Obama did

191
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: at the Aranga Deal. Well that's how if Obama did

192
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: it the way Trump is gonna do the North Korean deal,

193
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 1: assuming it happens. I mean, if it doesn't happen, it's fine.

194
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: And the President keeps managing expectations, says I'll walk out

195
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: in two seconds, it may take five meetings whatever. Now,

196
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,719
Speaker 1: based on the actions of Kim Jong and I think

197
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: the most revealing is that he has you know, now

198
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: he's purging the old hardliners out of North Korea. That

199
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: usually is a big sign that he's seriously open to reforms.

200
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: But I think we saw that when he was literally

201
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,559
Speaker 1: dismantling his nuclear test site facility, and when he walked

202
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: across the d MZ and when he released the hostages,

203
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 1: and I think that you know he's willing to talk

204
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 1: about d nuclearization. I will tell you this. If he didn't,

205
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: I don't know how he survives under Trump, with the

206
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: economic sanctions at Trump in the world, and the president's

207
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: relationship with China's gone along long way anyway. To finish

208
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: the original thought, we're gonna be in Singapore. Now we've

209
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,960
Speaker 1: got Tuesday the summit and Thursday the IG Report. Problem

210
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: with the IG Report from my perspective is they've had it.

211
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: Rod Rosenstein and company have had it for two plus

212
00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: two plus weeks, and that means that they have a

213
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: right to ask the Inspector General for changes redactions, adding comments,

214
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Inspector General is gonna hold

215
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: stronger to that pressure now he needs to. Frankly, I

216
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: don't think it should have been released next week at all.

217
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: The news is going to be dominated by North Korea.

218
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: So as I predicted, I thought they were gonna try

219
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: and bury the report. They have eighteen months and they're

220
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: gonna release it the week of the summit. The biggest

221
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: you know, for some people that don't know Reagan and Gorbachoff,

222
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: this is it. This, this is a historic moment. You know.

223
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: Mr Gorbachev teared down this wall of Reagan walking out

224
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,599
Speaker 1: a Reiki evic. The media was stunned, and it was

225
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: all over strategic defense. Reagan turned out to be a genius.

226
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: They mocked him saying star Wars and it ended up

227
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: look at the Iron Dome in Israel. Yeah, he can

228
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: take missiles out of the sky and we're building even

229
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: newer technologies. You know, it was Republicans that called Reagan

230
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: an amiable dunce. It wasn't Democrats. It was Republicans that

231
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: referred to his economic policies, which was the longest period

232
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: of peacetime economic growth, same policy as President Trump is

233
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: following twenty million new jobs created, and uh, that was

234
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: referred to his voodoo economics. And so we got a

235
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: lot of ground to car. I'm gonna play. President talks

236
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: about the power of the pardon. He talks about North Korea,

237
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 1: talks about uh, he's prepared to meet with Kim Jong un,

238
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: the Inspector General's report, James Comey, Uh, this whole New

239
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: York Times piece, which I'll touch on, and all these

240
00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: countries that have been taken advantage of us in trade,

241
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: and even says wants to talk to those players that

242
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 1: kneel because he wants to if they're unhappy with the

243
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 1: criminal justice is to maybe they want to recommend pardons

244
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,000
Speaker 1: to him. I thought that was an amazing that's the

245
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: difference between him and everybody else. He's not predictable with

246
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: only a kite, a house key, and wet hempstring. Benjamin

247
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 1: Franklin captured lightning in a bottle over two d and

248
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: sixty years later, with a little resourcefulness, ingenuity, and grit,

249
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,240
Speaker 1: we're not only capturing energy from the sun and wind,

250
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: we're storing it, ensuring Americans have the energy they need

251
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: whenever they need it. Learn more about the nation's leader

252
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 1: and energy storage at next Era Energy dot Com. All right,

253
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 1: as we roll along Sean Hannity Show, glad you are

254
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 1: with us? Uh. By the way, Singapore, the NBC is

255
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: expected to be packed to the gills next week with spies. Right.

256
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: I can't wait them eat them. Uh we'll get to

257
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: all of that. Um. I want to just hoh. Sally

258
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: Yates is urging judges and lawyers to go on the

259
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 1: offensive against Trump. Wow, you know she said, go on

260
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: the offensive, she said during a keynote speech at the

261
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: American Constitution Society. Think of the preservation of public servants

262
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,600
Speaker 1: who go to work every day now deride it as

263
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: the deep state, swamp creatures who have in fact dedicated

264
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 1: their professional lives to making our country better. This is

265
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: not the time to be passive. Now We're gonna go

266
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: after individuals with the power of the deep state. That's

267
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna double down on stupid,

268
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: That's what we'll do. I think this new manner for

269
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: indictment shows that desperation that is now set in all

270
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 1: across the board. Um, now you've got this story of

271
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: this this intel staffer indicted for playing a role in

272
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: the Russia Gate probe. And here's the problem. You've got

273
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: these two people that are dating. One is a member

274
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: of the Senate Intel Committee on it and has information. Uh.

275
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: And it shouldn't surprise anybody how deep state this is. Anyway,

276
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 1: he's dating this woman that works at BuzzFeed and then

277
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: the New York Times, etcetera, etcetera. What I don't like

278
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: and scares me and should scare everybody is that the

279
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: Department of Justice is holding onto is literally asking journalists

280
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 1: for their sources. Now in this particular case, they're together

281
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: and all this information is coming out, and on the

282
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: other hand, they're leaking national security secrets. You know, I

283
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: guess the only big reason for my suspicion, and you've

284
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 1: got to be careful because we have to maintain a

285
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: freedom of the press, but nor can we have America's

286
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: secrets being revealed. So it's a very slippery slope and

287
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: and a it's a fine line. And I don't think

288
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: i'd be anywhere near suspicious as I am today about

289
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: any of this, for it not for lying to find

290
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 1: the court judges not having the fixing in the Hillary

291
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: Clinton case. I think it has changed, and I'm recalibrating.

292
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, I just don't take anything on face value anymore,

293
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: not that I ever really did. But the Senate Intel

294
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: select Intel staffer, you know, it was targeting the Trump campaign,

295
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: and an aggressive lead campaign can't have that either. And

296
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: it appears that the Department of Justice. As I read more,

297
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 1: I think more last night, I was more inclined to think, oh,

298
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,719
Speaker 1: this is scary. No, I'm more inclined to think today

299
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: with more information that they probably got a guy that

300
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: was doing horrible things. All right, we'll play you the

301
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: president's press conference from earlier next now till the top

302
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: of the hour, one sean toll free telephone number. You

303
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program. I mean,

304
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: I will say this as somebody that knows the president,

305
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: how how often do you talk to him? It's none

306
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: of your business. I just love how people. I mean,

307
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: am I supposed to reveal my sources though everybody else does.

308
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: It's none of your business if I do, when I do,

309
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:11,679
Speaker 1: what I say, what I don't say, I'm never telling

310
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: you people, And I'll just let you speculate and lie

311
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,720
Speaker 1: and you know, promote fake news all you want, kind

312
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: of like what happened yesterday or the day before. Hannity

313
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: is telling them to bust up their phones into itsy

314
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: bitsy pieces that I should watch the hard drive, and

315
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: I said if, And I said it's a dumb idea,

316
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: and I said it's not gonna work out well, and

317
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: so on and so forth. But of course some of

318
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 1: these people want me in jail, uh, which is hilarious,

319
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: and it reveals so much about them because they never

320
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: cared about Hillary actually having done all of it, and

321
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 1: the fact that they didn't put two and two together.

322
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,159
Speaker 1: It takes my breath away. I want to go to

323
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: the president today. So the President is animated when he

324
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: is engaged. He loves he loves being in the middle

325
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: of it. He loves fighting for the country. He wants

326
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: America to get the best deals. So we got this huge,

327
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: historic summit coming up. He's managed everybody's expectations on it.

328
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: But he literally, you know, comes out on the White

329
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: House lawn earlier. Today's he's set it up to the

330
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: G seven and he's talking about meeting Kim Jong gun.

331
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: He's talking about how Russia should be back in the

332
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: G seven. You notice, I think the President has basically decided,

333
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,239
Speaker 1: all right, all the old rules are off. Let's hit

334
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 1: a reset and see where we go, a real reset,

335
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: not that phony buttonet Hillary used anyway. Then he went

336
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 1: on to say, well, have you prepared a lot? And

337
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: he said, I've been preparing my whole life, Thank you

338
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: very much. And it makes him unique inasmuch as he's

339
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: not gonna have fifty thousand advisors cramming his brain full

340
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: of facts and figures. It's basically, if I had to guess,

341
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 1: it comes down to, all right, do you want to

342
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: deal to end the war? Good, let's agree, okay, meaning

343
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 1: the Korean War. Do you want a deal? Are you

344
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 1: willing to deed nuclearize your country completely, verifiably and forever? Okay?

345
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,399
Speaker 1: How do we get there? That's what the conversation is

346
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 1: gonna be. How much preparation do you really need for that?

347
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if you follow politics as the president doesn't,

348
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: you don't need a whole lot. All you need to

349
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: do is have the basic fundamentals and then start talking

350
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 1: about the terms of a deal. Why everybody makes this

351
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: so hard? And then he actually said, asked Hillary about

352
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,880
Speaker 1: my preparation? Um, so, the I G. Horrowitz's report comes

353
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: out on Thursday, happens to be the president's birthday. He

354
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: talked about that and how he did this country of

355
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 1: service by firing commentthday, Well, it seems that it's coming

356
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: out on my birthday. Maybe that's appropriate. Let's see this. Look,

357
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: he's a very dishonest fan. I've been saying it for

358
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: a long time. I think I did our country a

359
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: great fire, a really great favor. I fired him and

360
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. We'll see what the report says.

361
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 1: But I guess it just got announcements coming out on

362
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 1: June fourteen, so that'll be maybe a nice person President

363
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: who knows, why don't we just do this? Why don't

364
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: we just go through all these different topics from the

365
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: president today won by one first discussing next Tuesday's upcoming

366
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: summit with Kim Jong un and UH in Singapore, where

367
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: we are, and UH what he expects from the summit.

368
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: I hope the upcoming meeting in Singapore represents the beginning

369
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: of a bright new future for North Korean and indeed

370
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a bright new future for the world. The d nuclearization

371
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: of the Korean Peninsula would usher in a new era

372
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: of prosperity, security and peace for all Koreans, North and South,

373
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: and for people everywhere. We could absolutely sign an agreement.

374
00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: We're looking at it, we're talking about it with them,

375
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: we're talking about it with a lot of other people.

376
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 1: But that could happen. But that's really the beginning. Sounds

377
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 1: a little bit strange, but that's probably the easy part.

378
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: The hard part remains after that. Maximum pressure is absolutely

379
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 1: in effect. We don't use the term anymore because we're

380
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 1: going into a friendly negotiation. Perhaps after that negotiation, I

381
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 1: will be using it again. You'll know how well we

382
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: do with the negotiation. If you hear me saying we're

383
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: going to use maximum pressure, you'll know the negotiation did

384
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,120
Speaker 1: not do well. If the summit does go well, will

385
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: you mean inviting North Korean leader Kim Jong un to

386
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,959
Speaker 1: the United States. Well, the answer is yes to the

387
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 1: second part of your question. But certainly if he goes well,

388
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:46,880
Speaker 1: and I think it would be well received, I think

389
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: he would look at it very favorab least I think

390
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: that could happen. Uh. All I can say is I

391
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: am totally prepared to walk away. I did it once before.

392
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,160
Speaker 1: You have to be able to walk away. I really

393
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: believe that we have the potential to do something incredible

394
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 1: for the world, and it's my honor to be involved.

395
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 1: All right, So it's look, I've I've never been the Singapore.

396
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,959
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great. Um. Then the President, now this

397
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: is interesting because Russia, Russia, Russia. Well, the President said, um,

398
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: maybe Russia should be back in the G seven. You know,

399
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: I've been their worst nightmare. And in many ways that's

400
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 1: all true, especially on the issue of energy independence. That

401
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of the Russian economy, and we have

402
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: more resources for energy than they do. And here's what

403
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: the President had to say about that. Of course, the

404
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: media is in a total Russia. If he even says

405
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: the word Russia, they just melt and bubble and fizz

406
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: and give off all remaining energies they have. Here's what

407
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: he said. It used to be because Russia was in it,

408
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 1: and now Russia is not in it. Now. I love

409
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: our country. I have been Russia's worst nightmare. If Hillary

410
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: got in, I think this probably gone. Man. I wish

411
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 1: Hillory one because you see what I do. But with

412
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: that being said, Russia should be in this seating. Why

413
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 1: are we having a meeting without Russia being in the meeting?

414
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: And I would recommend, and it's up to them, but

415
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 1: Russia should be in the meeting. It should be a

416
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,640
Speaker 1: part of it. You know, whether you like it or not.

417
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: And it may not be politically correct, but we have

418
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: a world to run at a d G seven, which

419
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 1: used to be the g A. They threw Russia out.

420
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,879
Speaker 1: They should let Russia come back in because we should

421
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: have Russia at the negotiating table. Now, he went on

422
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: to say after that the issue of does he have

423
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 1: an absolute right to pardon? And this is kind of

424
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: interesting because he also talked about NFL players. I'll play

425
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 1: these back to back here, and how the NFL players

426
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: should stand for the anthem, and how he wants to

427
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 1: talk to them about the criminal justice system, and then

428
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: even suggest, which I thought was a fascinating twist on

429
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: all of it today, that in fact, well, maybe he

430
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,879
Speaker 1: wants he wants to pardon, he wants pardoning suggestions from

431
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: some of the people that are kneeling in the NFL

432
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 1: if they think the country's unjust or it's been unfair,

433
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: and they have specific suggestions, well maybe we can write

434
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: these wrongs. Look at what happened when this woman was

435
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: convicted of one drug offense, a grandmother, spent twenties what

436
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: two years in jail, She gets out of prison. I

437
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: mean that was that was the feel good story of

438
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 1: the year. And she says, I thank you, miss the President,

439
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: thank you for the second chance. I'm not gonna let

440
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: America down. It's an amazing moment. Anyway to reach out

441
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: the way he did is pretty interesting. Let's play what

442
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: he said on that today. No, I'm not above the law.

443
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: I never want anybody to be above the law. But

444
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 1: the pardoners are a very positive thing for a president.

445
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 1: I think you see the way I'm using them, And yes,

446
00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: I do have an absolute right to pardon myself, but

447
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: I'll never have to do it because I didn't do

448
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 1: anything wrong and everybody knows it. There's been no illusion,

449
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 1: there's been no obstruction. It's all a made up fantasy.

450
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: It's a witch hunt. No collusion, no obstruction, no nothing.

451
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: Now the Democrats have had massive collusions, massive obstruction, and

452
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,159
Speaker 1: they should be investigated. We'll see what's happening. What I

453
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: am thinking to do. You have a lot of people

454
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL in particular, but in sports leagues they're

455
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: not proud enough to stand for a national anthem. I

456
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: don't like that. What I'm going to do is I'm

457
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: going to say to them instead of talk, it's all talk,

458
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: talk talk, we have a great country. You should stand

459
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: for our national anthem. You shouldn't go in a locker

460
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: room when our national anthem is played. I'm gonna ask

461
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,119
Speaker 1: for all of those people to recommend to me, because

462
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 1: that's what they're protesting. People that they think we're unfairly

463
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,840
Speaker 1: treated by the justices, And I understand that, and I'm

464
00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna ask them to recommend to me people that were

465
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 1: fairly treated, friends of theirs or people that they know about,

466
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna take a look at those applications, and

467
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,320
Speaker 1: if I find and my committee finds that they're unfairly treated,

468
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 1: then we will pardon them or at least let them out. Now,

469
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: the president or I thought that again, what what you

470
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: see in all of these cuts as a president that

471
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: is thinking out of the box, a president that is

472
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 1: not conventional, a president that wants to get things done.

473
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,480
Speaker 1: You know, in that sense, this could be so transformative

474
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: for the country. Inasmuch as the the old style political

475
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: calculating finger in the air, Oh this is too hard,

476
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, politicians of both parties that that paradigm could

477
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: actually die as a result of a of an iconoclass

478
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 1: and and somebody that is literally a disruptor that just

479
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: does the right thing and gets it done. So I

480
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: didn't say that. I said, I've been preparing all my life.

481
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 1: I always believe even preparations, but I've been preparing all

482
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: my life. You know, these one week preparations, they don't work,

483
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,239
Speaker 1: just ask Hillery what happened to her in the debate. So, uh,

484
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 1: I've been preparing for this all my life, and frankly,

485
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: it's really just the fake news, because if you run

486
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 1: Peter just a little bit longer the clip, you would

487
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 1: see I've really been preparing all my life. I said that,

488
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: But of course, you know, the news doesn't pick that

489
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 1: up because it's fake news. Now, the president, you know,

490
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: when he said the i G report might be a

491
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: nice birthday president, he did a country of service by

492
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: firing Comey. Um, that was pretty interesting. Then the President

493
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 1: addressed this whole New York Times issue, saying, I'm a

494
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: big believer in freedom of the press, but you can't

495
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 1: lead classified information like Comey's people. Uh, he's right. That's

496
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: where in the dilemma that I was talking about before

497
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 1: comes in. Here's what he had to say and what

498
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 1: was really a wide ranging, you know, amount of comments

499
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 1: that he made. It's very interesting that they called Alka

500
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: and a very important it's a very important leaker. So

501
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 1: it's very interesting. I'm getting information on it now. Happened

502
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: last night. It could be a terrific thing. I know,

503
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: I believe strongly in freedom of the press, I'm a big,

504
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,520
Speaker 1: big believer in freedom of the press, but I'm also

505
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: a believer in classified information has to remain classified. And

506
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: that includes Tomy and his band of thieves who leaked

507
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: classified information all over the place. So I'm a very

508
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: big believer in freedom of the press, but I'm also

509
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 1: a believer that you cannot leak classified information. I was

510
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: also glad the President said brought up the double standard.

511
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: Christian Saucier. You know, here's a guy goes to jail

512
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: for six pictures in a submarine, that's it. And he

513
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: went to jail for leaking classified information, and Collmey didn't,

514
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: and neither did Hillary. Here's what he said. Uh, and

515
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: this is the same Christian Saucier that he did spend

516
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,640
Speaker 1: a year in jail but was pardoned by Trump. You

517
00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: have a double edged Reporters can't leak, You cannot leak

518
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: classified information. At the same time, we need freedom of

519
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: the press, but you can not leak like Hillary Clinton did,

520
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: like Comey did. You cannot leak classified information. If you

521
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 1: look at the young sailor Saucier, I mean, he went

522
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: to jail over not classified a much lower level, and

523
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 1: it's very unfair that he goes to jail, and that

524
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: Comey is allowed to do it all over right, as

525
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:35,479
Speaker 1: we continued Sean Hannity Show at the top of the hour.

526
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: By the way, U under my Huckabee his board daughter

527
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: or she has to go through, he's gonna join us. Uh.

528
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: Let me go back to the President talking about a

529
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 1: wide range of issues at the White House as he

530
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 1: was leaving for the G seven summit. And here's what

531
00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: he said. I may leave a little bit early, and

532
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: it depends what happens here. Look, all of these countries

533
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 1: have been taking advantage of the United States, seanre you

534
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 1: so wish handed a Georgia carry farmers two hundred and

535
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: seventy percent tariffs, we don't charge them or if we

536
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: do it like a tiny percent. And so we have

537
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: to we have to straighten it out. What is we

538
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 1: have massive trade deficits with almost every country. We will

539
00:31:20,280 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: straighten that out. I don't we get and I'll tell

540
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: you what it's what I do. It won't even be hard,

541
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: and in the end we'll all get along. But they understand,

542
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: and you know they're trying to act like, well, we

543
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: fought with you in the wars, which they don't mention

544
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:38,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they have trade barriers against our farmers.

545
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:42,880
Speaker 1: They don't mention the fact that they're charging almostent tariffs.

546
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: When it all straightens out, we'll all be in love again.

547
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,800
Speaker 1: I would only do a deal if I get it

548
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: through Congress. I wouldn't do like Obama did, and fortunately

549
00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to get it through. You know, he

550
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: tried to get it through the Rand Deal. He tried

551
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:00,720
Speaker 1: to get it through Congress failed, So we just did

552
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 1: it without. All Right, that's gonna wrap things up for

553
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: this hour. Letting not your heart be troubled. When we

554
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 1: come back upunder Mike Huckabee, he's going to weigh in

555
00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: on the battle, the dilemma as it relates to, you know,

556
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 1: journalists having to give their information and sources to The

557
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,920
Speaker 1: New York Times, And of course, a preview of next

558
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: week's Pick summit and the i G Report, which we've

559
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,480
Speaker 1: all been waiting for. All Right, that's coming up our

560
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity Show and Luke Rosiac what's going on

561
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: in the w Wasserman Schultz kates that's straight ahead of

562
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: the upcoming meeting in Singapore represents the beginning of a

563
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 1: bright new future. For North Korean and indeed a bright

564
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: new future for the world. The d nuclearization of the

565
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 1: Korean Peninsula would USh you're in a new era of prosperity,

566
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: security and peace for all Koreans, North and South, and

567
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 1: for people everywhere. We could absolutely sign an agreement. We're

568
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: looking at it. We're talking about it with them, we're

569
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 1: talking about it with a lot of other people. But

570
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 1: that could happen. But that's really the beginning. Sounds a

571
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: little bit strange, but that's probably the easy part. The

572
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:12,440
Speaker 1: hard part remains after that. Maximum pressure is absolutely in effect.

573
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: We don't use the term anymore because we're going into

574
00:33:15,440 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: a friendly negotiation. Perhaps after that negotiation I will be

575
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: using it again. You'll know how well we do with

576
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 1: the negotiation. If you hear me saying we're going to

577
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: use maximum pressure, you'll know the negotiation did not do well. Alright,

578
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: our to Sean Hannity's show, Toll Free Numbers one, Shan,

579
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

580
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: I mean so much news that is happening. We're gonna

581
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,000
Speaker 1: get what we discussed the last half hour. We're gonna

582
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: get into all the president's comments today. I want to

583
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: focus a lot though on this North Korean summit and

584
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 1: the President earlier discussing the upcoming summit and saying that

585
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: you'd only do a deal with North Korea through Congress,

586
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 1: unlike the Obama I Ranian deal. Here's what he said.

587
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:58,800
Speaker 1: I would only do a deal if I get it

588
00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: through Congress. I wouldn't do like Obama did. Unfortunately, he

589
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: wasn't able to get it through. You know, he tried

590
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: to get it through the randal. He tried to get

591
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 1: it through Congress failed, so he just did it without,

592
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: which is why I was able to break it up

593
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 1: so easy. And Iran is now a different country. They're

594
00:34:18,520 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: not looking to the Mediterranean anymore. Iran is now a

595
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: much different company country since I did, since I signed

596
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 1: that out, Iran is a much different country, all right,

597
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 1: joining us now to preview that. And the i G

598
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,880
Speaker 1: report that is coming out next Thursday is for former

599
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 1: Arkansas governor, former presidential candidate, Governor Mike Huckabee, and of

600
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: course Governor Harkabe's daughter can be seen every day beating

601
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 1: down an abusively biased liberal press. And I don't know

602
00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 1: man as a father, I I don't I don't know

603
00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:54,040
Speaker 1: if I can handle that every day. But she does

604
00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: a great job. I mean, and I'm coming to know

605
00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 1: her and love her. She's amazing. Well, she's a tough kid,

606
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,719
Speaker 1: I felt people she has a lot of her mother

607
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: and her and uh, well, slow down, governor, what do

608
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: you mean a lot of her mother in her I

609
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 1: watched you on the debate stage. You're a great debate

610
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: or you're smart. Uh you love conflict. Well, you know,

611
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: I enjoy a good scrap myself. Um, but you know

612
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: the fact that Sarah has grown up in a political world,

613
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 1: in an environment she understands what all this is about,

614
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: and she's totally unafraid of it. It just does not

615
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,520
Speaker 1: get to her personally. But she does not allow people

616
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: to take that podium away from her. When she's at

617
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 1: the White House sleeping room, she knows that's her ground.

618
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: She's there for the president. She knows it's not about her,

619
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: it's about him, and she recognizes that when she goes

620
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: out there. You know, her job is not to accommodate,

621
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 1: but the reporters want her to say, her job is

622
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: to make sure that she does not bload a weapon

623
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: at this pointing that the president's head and every day

624
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: there are people in the media that would want to

625
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: stay really announced to Akutata against his president and his presidency,

626
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,959
Speaker 1: and she feels like she's one of those soldiers who's

627
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: on the front line is to protect the president and

628
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 1: to protect this great republic from you know, the deep

629
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: state and dark forces that would love to change the

630
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: way we do government. I want to get into all

631
00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: of that with you, and Uh. I think you're right.

632
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,240
Speaker 1: I think she does an amazing job. In many ways.

633
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 1: I almost think it's an effort and futility because they've

634
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 1: already made up their minds and all they want is

635
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 1: their thirty second bite on TV to make them seem

636
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: like they're tough, and it's not about really getting answers

637
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 1: or understanding the president's positions on issues. UM next week

638
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: is going to be massive and historic. No matter what happens, Governor,

639
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 1: We've already had so much in terms of accomplishments with

640
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: North Korea. You know, nobody would have thought the hostages

641
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:56,120
Speaker 1: released UH, that one of the nuclear test sites would

642
00:36:56,160 --> 00:36:58,400
Speaker 1: be dismantled, that he crossed the d m Z, that

643
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:02,719
Speaker 1: he'd stopped firing rockets or Japan and threatening the entire

644
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: region in Guam and and is willing to talk about

645
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 1: de nuclearization. So that's huge, and then that's on Tuesday,

646
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: and then on Thursday we've got the IG Report coming out.

647
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: Let's start with North Korea and what a what an

648
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to make a safer world. It's hopeful. Well, there's

649
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,400
Speaker 1: not all the criticisms about his way of state craft.

650
00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 1: Truth is, the past has been about trying to be

651
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 1: nicer to North Korea, hoping that they will respond to

652
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: the kindness and denuclearized. This president says was to be

653
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: tougher on them, was exposed into maximum pressure and make

654
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 1: it where they don't have a choice that to come

655
00:37:40,920 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: to the table and give up the nuclear weapons. I

656
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 1: think it's pretty obvious which approaches is working better. Now.

657
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: There's no guarantee that next week we're going to come

658
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 1: away with the end of nuclear North Korea, but we

659
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: are closer to it. This president has led us to

660
00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 1: a place where the North Korean's understand, Uh, President Trump

661
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 1: is no Trump. He's not to be played. He cannot

662
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: be taken for granted. And I think Kim John own

663
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: it comes to that table fully understanding. What do you

664
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,439
Speaker 1: think has motivated him? Though? I mean trouble Uh, look,

665
00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:18,600
Speaker 1: his people are starving, but they you know, I've always

666
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: said you can't win win revolutions with slingshots and nobody's

667
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: arm there. But I actually think the most revealing thing

668
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 1: that Kim Jong un has done at this point is

669
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,240
Speaker 1: he has purged and begun the process of purging old

670
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: hard liners. That that would be the biggest sign that

671
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: he's now paving the way for a different in new Korea,

672
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 1: North Korea. I think he wants to stay in power,

673
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,360
Speaker 1: and he knows that if he does not come to

674
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: terms with a strong America and a strong president, he

675
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 1: is not likely to be in power. And all that

676
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,919
Speaker 1: his grandfather and father trying to hand him is all going.

677
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,279
Speaker 1: So it's a matter of self President Kim John run,

678
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:06,160
Speaker 1: and I think this president is n that the diplomacy,

679
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,760
Speaker 1: which is not going to affect, seeks to be cost

680
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: and try something different. President is working. Let me look

681
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: at it's now what Dave thinking three of the Trump

682
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 1: administration and the White House actually put out a video.

683
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:25,399
Speaker 1: Will play the audio of it saying that they said

684
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,359
Speaker 1: it couldn't be done, and then they put in the

685
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,920
Speaker 1: president's accomplishments. Let me play that for you and I'll

686
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,080
Speaker 1: ask you a question. On the other side, Trump's policies

687
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 1: would throw us into a recession, the last thing we need.

688
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 1: Some of those jobs of the past are just not

689
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: gonna come back. He just says, well, I'm gonna I'm

690
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: gonna negotiate a better deal. What what how exactly are

691
00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 1: you want to negotiate them? What magic wand do you

692
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,880
Speaker 1: have down? Well, it's gone up for eight straight sessions,

693
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: and it will go up at least at the opening

694
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: bell again today. Companies are hiring, you know, layoffs are down,

695
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,359
Speaker 1: and companies are hiring. Unemployment for African Americans that fell

696
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: to a new low of five point nine percent female

697
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,360
Speaker 1: john seekers, a low is well free point four percent

698
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:13,160
Speaker 1: jobless claims, dropping the three point eight percent. In fact,

699
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: we've only seen a number that low since nineteen sixty nine.

700
00:40:17,719 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: Even the New York Times has to admit it. Check

701
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: out this report. If we ran out of words to

702
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: describe how good the job's numbers are, you know, everything

703
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 1: they predicted was wrong so far. Look at the economy,

704
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: look at what's happening. I think what makes a successful politician.

705
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:40,319
Speaker 1: Not only is the president a disruptor, he's unconventional. The

706
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: president's iconoclastic, but I think that what serves him well

707
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,799
Speaker 1: is he keeps his promises, unlike a lot of Republicans governor.

708
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: If we're gonna be honest here, well, I think the

709
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 1: fact is Donald Trump is not so much a Democrat

710
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: president Republican president. He's an American president. And for those

711
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: of us to live been lifelong Republicans, we love America

712
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 1: more than we love the party. We love the fact

713
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,560
Speaker 1: that this is a president who has put America first,

714
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,279
Speaker 1: which is really what both parties ought to be doing.

715
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 1: And the reason that he is being incredibly successful and

716
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: popular with the rank and file Americans, but incredibly unpopular

717
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,240
Speaker 1: with the leaders of both parties, the Republicans who can't

718
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 1: stand it just because he has put something in front

719
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: of their own particular special interest of party loyalty. He

720
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: has brought a sense of America first. That's what we're

721
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: seeing at the Seven Conference, is what we're seeing in

722
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,719
Speaker 1: North Korea, what we've seen in the Middle East. He's

723
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,600
Speaker 1: decided that if it's good for Americas, party, if it

724
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 1: is not good for America. Do you agree with me? Though?

725
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: I look, I would argue that he governs as a

726
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:57,160
Speaker 1: conservative with maybe the exception on paper only on paper

727
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: of trade, because I don't think it has any intention

728
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: at all of any trade war, not one bit so.

729
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:06,360
Speaker 1: But I think he wants to trade war. But what

730
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 1: it is about is making sure that the free trade

731
00:42:08,880 --> 00:42:15,239
Speaker 1: that is fair trade. He has demonstrated time again how

732
00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:19,080
Speaker 1: we are being taken advantage of Americas in the worst

733
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,800
Speaker 1: party when it comes to trade. Even want of people

734
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: to walk over it. To the President, he says, yeah,

735
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: we want to trade, we want to do it freely,

736
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: we want to do it fairly. And if you're not

737
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 1: gonna do it freely, unfairly, and we're not going to

738
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:35,640
Speaker 1: do it at all. Detention, what do you think I

739
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,040
Speaker 1: watched the president today very wide ranging, uh answer wide

740
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 1: ranging questions that he had everything from you know, Russia

741
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: being back in the G seven. We saw the video

742
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,240
Speaker 1: of this woman one time drug defense, life in prison,

743
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,400
Speaker 1: well only one offense. He talked about prison reform. I

744
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 1: don't think there was a better feel good video than

745
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 1: this grandmother that got out of prison and running into

746
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,759
Speaker 1: the arms of her family. And I'm thinking, you know what,

747
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 1: we we ought to really be looking into this more deeply.

748
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 1: And I think this president is serious about it. Pulling

749
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,640
Speaker 1: is serious about it and given credit to doing something

750
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: other presidents in at the guts to do. He did

751
00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 1: it in broad daylight. He did it in the middle

752
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 1: of a midtime election. He didn't wait till his last

753
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes in office and slide him under the door

754
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: of the Justice Department like other presidents Democrat and Republican

755
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: had done. He did it in a way that he

756
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 1: stood up and put it in the spotlight and said

757
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: you that I did it because it was the right

758
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,400
Speaker 1: thing to do. I stand up and give him an

759
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:41,759
Speaker 1: ovation for that, because I'll tell you there's no political

760
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,360
Speaker 1: upside of it. Could do in any type of clinancy,

761
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 1: be it a partner of communication or any other form

762
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: of clemency. But he didn't do it for the politics

763
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: of it. He did it. It is right and the

764
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: justice of it all right. As we continue, Governor Mike

765
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: Huckabee is with a sorry. So on top of Tuesday's

766
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,000
Speaker 1: summit with Kim Jong Un, we now have a date.

767
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: It's set. It's been done now for what two weeks,

768
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 1: over two weeks the i G report, it's been in

769
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: the hands of the Department of Justice, and I'm concerned

770
00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: I want to know what we're actions might have been

771
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: made or revisions made, and uh, I think they need

772
00:44:20,040 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 1: to hold the original version. But uh, finally, are we

773
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: going to get the story that we already know that

774
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 1: Hillary committed all these crimes and obstructed justice and that

775
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,720
Speaker 1: she was assisted by people like Peter Struck and Lisa

776
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 1: Page and James Come. Well, let's hope. So, you know.

777
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 1: I think that what we've seen is that there has

778
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,840
Speaker 1: been a extraordinary number of documents that have been sucked

779
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:46,560
Speaker 1: into the black hole that exists at the Department of Justice,

780
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: so much so that scientists at M I T are

781
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 1: studying this scientific phenomena where documents just disappear. Um. I

782
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: think the i G has tried to approach this with integrity,

783
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: but there has been such an incredible blowback, not just

784
00:45:03,280 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: to him but to anyone who wanted to see the

785
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:10,520
Speaker 1: unredacted documents. The question is what are they hiding? Who

786
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 1: they hiding it from? How come it is? If the

787
00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: FBI wants to ask me a question, I gotta give

788
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:17,319
Speaker 1: up everything. And if I don't give it to him

789
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 1: to break down my door at three in the morning,

790
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:22,200
Speaker 1: pull me out in the yard and my pajamas and

791
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 1: put me at gunpoint. But if we want to ask

792
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: them a question, uh, they take months to give us

793
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 1: the answers. Then the answers they give are incomplete and

794
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 1: sometimes completely missing with the factual information that we're asking for.

795
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: What did you think? I know you watch this week.

796
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: So here I am obviously being sarcastic, saying things like,

797
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:47,080
Speaker 1: if I were to advise people, I'm kidding, it's a

798
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:49,440
Speaker 1: bad idea. It's not gonna work out well for you

799
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,239
Speaker 1: if you do all the things that Hillary did to

800
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,520
Speaker 1: our you know, deleting emails, acid washing or hard drive

801
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:58,560
Speaker 1: busting up devices with hammers. And the media is more

802
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: angry at the idea all of those caveats that I

803
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 1: might be trying to tell witnesses to obstruct justice. They

804
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: they absolutely a fake news freak out. And the problem

805
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,279
Speaker 1: is they didn't get that angry and Hillary actually did

806
00:46:12,440 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: all of those things. Is that amazing? Uh, we're not

807
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:19,440
Speaker 1: really surprising, Sean. If I were you, I'd get a

808
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:22,880
Speaker 1: good carpenter to come to your home and install some

809
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,640
Speaker 1: reinforced doors that are going to be less subject to

810
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 1: battering lands. Because that thanks a lot Govenor. I really

811
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I didn't. I didn't as wash hard drives.

812
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 1: I didn't delete emails and I even said it's a

813
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,239
Speaker 1: bad idea and it's not gonna work for you. And

814
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Well, there's no sense of humor on the

815
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 1: part of the left, zero as I can attest. I

816
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: say things all the time that I say tongue in

817
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: cheap clearly intentionally uh, not to be taken seriously. But

818
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: the people on the left taken also seriously. The only

819
00:46:53,680 --> 00:46:56,799
Speaker 1: thing they don't take seriously is they don't take the

820
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: Constitution very seriously. And they don't take the insults to

821
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: work conservatives seriously. That's all fair game, that's not a problem,

822
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:10,480
Speaker 1: but no one can say something that offends their sensitivities

823
00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: without an extraordinary uh sense of outrage on their part. Well, Governor,

824
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:19,319
Speaker 1: I appreciate your time. I know you have been out

825
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: there fighting for the president's success and uh, there's too

826
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: few conservatives out there doing it because this is an

827
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,240
Speaker 1: opportunity to fix this country and make America really strong again,

828
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 1: and it seems like there's more people cheering for failure

829
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,960
Speaker 1: than success. It's very sad to me. Thank you, sir

830
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,279
Speaker 1: for being with us. We appreciate your time. All right.

831
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,560
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll check in. Luke Rose each

832
00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 1: will update us on the m Rona Juan scandal. Later on,

833
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,640
Speaker 1: we'll get to your calls. We'll go back to the media,

834
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: fake news, freak out about me, and so much more

835
00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: on this Friday now until the top of the hour,

836
00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 1: toll free telepone numbers eight nine one, Shawn, if you

837
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:01,280
Speaker 1: want to be with us, you know, it is absolutely

838
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:06,560
Speaker 1: spectacularly amazing that we have one of the biggest corruption

839
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: scandals on top of everything else that we talk about

840
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 1: every day, one of the most massive intelligence breaches ever,

841
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: and most people don't seem to want to talk about it. Now,

842
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:21,359
Speaker 1: that is the case of Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the

843
00:48:21,480 --> 00:48:24,920
Speaker 1: hiring of this I T guy or so called I

844
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,000
Speaker 1: T guy mean Rona wand is his name, and uh,

845
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 1: Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Now this guy may be close to

846
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: a deal with federal prosecutors and what has now becoming

847
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 1: a bizarre criminal case, uh with really big potential national

848
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: security implications because now there's been a motion filed in

849
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,799
Speaker 1: this particular case suggesting that A. Juan's defense attorney and

850
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: federal prosecutors have been negotiating a guilty plea, and this

851
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: is all gonna come up at a July three hearing.

852
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: And the lawyer for this guy said, the supports the

853
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: idea a plea happens in court. He said, a plea

854
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: doesn't happen outside of court. Well, we all know that's

855
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,600
Speaker 1: not true. They all wink and they all not and

856
00:49:06,640 --> 00:49:08,080
Speaker 1: they all have a deal, and they all go in

857
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:11,480
Speaker 1: and they all agree, and the judge says, okay, you agreed, okay,

858
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: and usually signs off on the deal. But this, you know,

859
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 1: here it is. We have now, layer by layer, thanks

860
00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:20,920
Speaker 1: to our friend Luke Rosiac, been able to do a

861
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 1: deep dive into this and what do we find? As

862
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,800
Speaker 1: soon as uh Im Rona Juan was found having double

863
00:49:27,960 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: build Congress and having access to things that he never

864
00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:35,040
Speaker 1: should have had access to, and hiring family members would

865
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:38,640
Speaker 1: appear to be unqualified people for I T jobs one

866
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: guy working at a car dealership, another guy working at McDonald's.

867
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 1: And the fact that well the other Democratic Congress people,

868
00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 1: well they ended up firing this guy immediately, but not

869
00:49:48,200 --> 00:49:51,839
Speaker 1: Debbie Wasson and Schultz. So I want to set this

870
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:55,319
Speaker 1: up so you remember the facts of this case. And

871
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: you know, first it was Wasson and Schultz threatening the

872
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 1: US capital over the the laptop that she wanted back,

873
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 1: literally yelling at the guy. And then uh, regarding in Ronawan,

874
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:11,279
Speaker 1: she said she did the right thing. It would have

875
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: been easier to fire him. Okay, well, we have the

876
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: possibility that this guy was sending top secret classified information, uh,

877
00:50:21,880 --> 00:50:25,840
Speaker 1: at the highest levels, having access to all these computers,

878
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, to Pakistani intelligence people, you know. And then

879
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: Debbie Wasserman Schultz on her on Iran says that she

880
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,879
Speaker 1: fired him after he was arrested. It's a little late then.

881
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 1: And Jay Johnson actually goes and testified before Peter King's

882
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:44,040
Speaker 1: committee that the d n C declined the Department of

883
00:50:44,080 --> 00:50:48,439
Speaker 1: Homeland Securities offer to fight hacking in a case like this.

884
00:50:49,280 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 1: And at no time, Debbie Wasserman Schultz says, did the FBI,

885
00:50:52,480 --> 00:50:57,480
Speaker 1: DHS or any intelligence agency contact her about any breaches. Okay,

886
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:00,600
Speaker 1: why not? That's an even bigger problem. Let's play these

887
00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 1: cuts for you. Let me just be very clear, at

888
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 1: no point during my tenure at the d n C

889
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,280
Speaker 1: was I contacted by the FBI, DHS, or any government

890
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: agency or alerted or made aware that they believed that

891
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 1: the Russians, a an enemy state, wasn't shooting on our network?

892
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:24,479
Speaker 1: Can you elaborate more on what the DHS is uh

893
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: connection with the d n C was. Consultation with the

894
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 1: d n C was after he became aware of the

895
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:32,840
Speaker 1: hacking and they became aware of the hacking as to

896
00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 1: what was allered them, what they accepted. Was there any

897
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: level of cooperation at all? Um, to my disappointment, not

898
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: to my knowledge, sir um. And this is a question

899
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 1: I asked repeatedly when I first learned of it. You know,

900
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,440
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Are we in there? Are we

901
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:52,520
Speaker 1: helping them discover the vulnerabilities? Because this was fresh off

902
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 1: the O p M experience and there was a point

903
00:51:55,960 --> 00:52:00,279
Speaker 1: at which DHS cybersecurity experts did get into b M

904
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,800
Speaker 1: and actually helped them discover the bad actors and patch

905
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 1: some of the ex filtrations or at least minimize some

906
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: of the damage. And so I was anxious to know

907
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,840
Speaker 1: whether or not our folks were in there. And the

908
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 1: response I got was FBI had spoken to them, Uh,

909
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: they don't want our help. They have CrowdStrike the cybersecurity firm.

910
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: And that was the answer I got after I asked

911
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:27,279
Speaker 1: the question a number of times over the progression of

912
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 1: time that was assumed totally different from the action you

913
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 1: got from OPM UH, the O p M effort. We

914
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 1: were actually in there on site helping them UM find

915
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: the bad actors. Do you know who it was at

916
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: the d n C who made that decision? Who was

917
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: making I don't resistant. Do you know if the FBI

918
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,400
Speaker 1: continued to try to help, try to assist I have.

919
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,160
Speaker 1: I've read in the New York Times about those efforts

920
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 1: UM sometime earlier this year. Under my understanding, the Capital

921
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:59,000
Speaker 1: Police is not able to confiscate members equipment when the

922
00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 1: member is on under investigation. It is their equipment and

923
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be returned. Well, I think there's standuating

924
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 1: circumstances in this case, and I think I think that

925
00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, working through my council, and you know the

926
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,080
Speaker 1: necessary personnel if if that in fact is the case,

927
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:19,919
Speaker 1: and with the permission of through the investigation, and we'll

928
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,080
Speaker 1: return to equipment. But it told that's accomplished, I can't

929
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 1: turn to equipment. I think you're violating the rules when

930
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: you when you conduct your business that way, and should

931
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 1: expect that there would be consequences. Not only I believe

932
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: that I did the right thing, and I would do

933
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,680
Speaker 1: it again because, as I said at the beginning of

934
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,320
Speaker 1: this conversation, there are times when you can't be afraid

935
00:53:43,400 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 1: to stand alone and you have to stand up for

936
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,440
Speaker 1: what's right, and you know, even in the face you

937
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 1: have to there are times you have to spend a

938
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,840
Speaker 1: little capital to do what's right. Like I said, the

939
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 1: easier thing to do for me would have been to

940
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 1: just fire him. Obviously, I was the person who has

941
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: had the most political challenges in the last years, so

942
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: it would have been a much easier for me to

943
00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: just cut and loose and say, you know, I'm going

944
00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:08,000
Speaker 1: to look out for my death interests than that, then

945
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,400
Speaker 1: stand up for what I believe in. But I have

946
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: to be able to look at myself in the mirror

947
00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 1: every day, and if there's one thing I'm going to

948
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: make sure that I uh that I maintain is my integrity. Well,

949
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: he's not my staffer. I he no longer works for me,

950
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: And when he was arrested, I terminated him. I kept

951
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,880
Speaker 1: him on the payroll during the time that he was

952
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: not arrested and not charged with anything, and That was because,

953
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: as I said that I was concerned about the violation

954
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: of his due process rights and also that there were

955
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,600
Speaker 1: rachel and ethnic profiling concerns as well. I have maintained

956
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: that it was important and will continue to maintain that

957
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: when someone's due process rights are are potentially being violated,

958
00:54:52,480 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: that I'm going to stand up and make sure that

959
00:54:55,560 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 1: that that people's rights are protected in this country. That's

960
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:00,480
Speaker 1: the oath that I swar to uphold. When I sports

961
00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: uphold the constitution, and when he was arrested and the

962
00:55:04,440 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 1: process was established, then I terminated him. All right. Joining

963
00:55:08,200 --> 00:55:10,840
Speaker 1: us with the latest on what this potential deal, maybe

964
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 1: Luke Rosiac with a Daily caller. Before I get to

965
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: the plea deal, what do we know? How much confidential, private, secret,

966
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:26,520
Speaker 1: classified information do we know that m Rona Juan gave

967
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: to the Pakistani intelligence officials? Well, what we know is

968
00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:34,320
Speaker 1: that he was making access to dozens of computers that

969
00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:37,120
Speaker 1: he had no business access thing, and he was funneling

970
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 1: data off the network. You know that he was taking

971
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: all the emails of about thirty members of Congress and

972
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 1: putting it all onto one server, and then from that

973
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,600
Speaker 1: server data was flying off the network. Uh. And then

974
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 1: when he got busted for this, uh, the i G

975
00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,000
Speaker 1: was blocked from looking at what that data was. So

976
00:55:55,040 --> 00:55:57,640
Speaker 1: it was a cover up by Congress from the very

977
00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: beginning to prevent the vision of this second hack into

978
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: the heat of the election. Um. So since that time,

979
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:08,759
Speaker 1: they've been trying to obfuscate and hide the facts and

980
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: protect this guy. But it's not about protecting him on

981
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 1: the one it's about protecting members from their conduct in

982
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:19,360
Speaker 1: the election. So this plea deal means they're just gonna

983
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:21,520
Speaker 1: make and make the whole thing go away so that

984
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 1: they can get the New York Times in the Washington

985
00:56:23,400 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: Post to say, according to the Department of Justice, this

986
00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 1: is all about bank fraud. The key here is that

987
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 1: the i G found, the Capitol Police found other House

988
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:35,520
Speaker 1: officials found in the election that he was stealing from Congress,

989
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: steeling equipment, stealing data, making unauthorized access to servers, and

990
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 1: then one of the key pieces of evidence was stolen itself. Um,

991
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: why are we not seeing charges? That's the key here,

992
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 1: it's the it's the couple. Let's let's stays well, that's

993
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: the thing. They didn't want to admit that they had

994
00:56:51,680 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: allowed somebody that wasn't vetted and and allowed his family

995
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: access to our top security information. And you know that

996
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,960
Speaker 1: this guy is the unauthorized access to all of this

997
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,520
Speaker 1: house data of the Democrats have to put yourself back

998
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 1: into July, August, September. That's when they were first starting

999
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 1: to concoct this whole Russian narrative, and they didn't think

1000
00:57:12,760 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: it was gonna work. There's quotes from Phelipe Ryans and

1001
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: others out there that said, you know, we didn't really

1002
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:18,520
Speaker 1: know we could get the media to latch onto this

1003
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: idea of Russia as a bugeyman. It was all pretty tenuous.

1004
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: And you inject into that this second but simultane these

1005
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: and very similar hack by Pakistani's, it would all it

1006
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 1: would make this narrative about Russia impossible. So that's the

1007
00:57:31,480 --> 00:57:34,480
Speaker 1: key here is Democrats are master message messengers. They have

1008
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:36,880
Speaker 1: these allies in the media, and it's all about the messaging,

1009
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:39,760
Speaker 1: and you control them the narrative. If they would have

1010
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 1: arrested these guys for hack in Congress, the Russian narrative

1011
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: goes out the window and suddenly what you have instead is, man,

1012
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: these Democrats look pretty dumb. Not only did Hill, we

1013
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,040
Speaker 1: have our server in a in a bathroom. Not only

1014
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:54,680
Speaker 1: was John Podesta's password password, not only did Wasson Chilton

1015
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,160
Speaker 1: ignore warnings about the d n C from the FBI.

1016
00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: Now also they hired McDonald's workers with Chris All records

1017
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 1: from Pakistan and paid them a hundred and sixty thousand

1018
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:06,240
Speaker 1: dollars and didn't do anything when the data was flying

1019
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 1: off the network. So instead of arresting them, they decided

1020
00:58:10,160 --> 00:58:14,560
Speaker 1: to allow the hack to continue. And when Donald Trump

1021
00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 1: said yesterday on Twitter that this House i T scandal

1022
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: kind of is the key to a lot of things.

1023
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,800
Speaker 1: What he's talking about is it proves the fact that

1024
00:58:23,840 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 1: Democrats would have done anything to smear him with this

1025
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: Russian narrative, even so far as knowingly allowing the US

1026
00:58:30,680 --> 00:58:34,680
Speaker 1: to be hacked by Pakistan. It's it's arguably treasonous what

1027
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 1: they did to let these guys sit on the network

1028
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: and keep taking data while the i G is warning

1029
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,880
Speaker 1: them it's getting worse, it's getting worse. There's still funneling

1030
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 1: data that you got to kick him off, and they

1031
00:58:44,880 --> 00:58:48,040
Speaker 1: said no, be quiet. They blocked her from investigating. It

1032
00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,320
Speaker 1: was a cover up from the beginning. And um, now

1033
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 1: that what happens to her and all those All right, well,

1034
00:58:53,520 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 1: I get the deal with them on m Ronawan. What's

1035
00:58:56,880 --> 00:58:59,160
Speaker 1: the deal with w. Watson and Schultz for allowing all

1036
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 1: this and allowing our our secrets to be that vulnerable?

1037
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly. I mean, these people don't care about national security.

1038
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,880
Speaker 1: They were willing to um, you know, give our secrets

1039
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: to Pakistan in order to win an election. I mean,

1040
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,120
Speaker 1: it doesn't get any more insiduous than that. It's just

1041
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,000
Speaker 1: they would stop at nothing at trying to smear Donald

1042
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: Trump with this Russia thing in order to win the election.

1043
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:24,480
Speaker 1: And if people realize that there was this hack, it

1044
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: proves that Democrats don't care about cybersecurity, they don't care

1045
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: about foreign meddling, they don't care about collusion. It's all

1046
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 1: just a made up narrative. And that's why even now,

1047
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: like almost two years later, they can't allow people to

1048
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,440
Speaker 1: realize what happened in the House. So now you get

1049
00:59:38,480 --> 00:59:41,400
Speaker 1: into phase two to cover up, and they've got under

1050
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions Justice Department, they've got the FBI and the

1051
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 1: dj going along with the Democrats to make sure that

1052
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 1: this thing can go away in such a way that

1053
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,920
Speaker 1: people don't realize what really happened. Uh So the FBI,

1054
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 1: the Capitol Police accidentally, they say, gave evidence to the

1055
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 1: defense attorney instead of the prosecutors. There's been serious errors

1056
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 1: in this. No one can explain why they've got the

1057
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 1: false of iden voices, They've got to server longs, they've

1058
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:06,760
Speaker 1: got the data flying off the network, these things. There's

1059
01:00:06,800 --> 01:00:08,919
Speaker 1: mountains of evidence on it at all. Why the hell

1060
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:11,680
Speaker 1: hasn't Jeff Sessons charged it? I Mean, the only explanation

1061
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 1: is we've got two tiers of justice, one for people

1062
01:00:14,840 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: that are protected by Democrats and one for everyone else.

1063
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:20,479
Speaker 1: And you know, pretty pathetic, sad news. We're gonna watch

1064
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: what happens im ron Awan. So this takes place July three,

1065
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 1: uh and he's gonna have a plate deal. We don't

1066
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,680
Speaker 1: know where this ends with Debbie Wasson and Schultz and

1067
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 1: what about all the other people involved in this, all

1068
01:00:33,200 --> 01:00:36,440
Speaker 1: the other I guess family members that were double billing

1069
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:39,400
Speaker 1: and had no I T experience. Well, that's one of

1070
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: the most interesting things is that all the evidence that

1071
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 1: the FBI has and the Capitol Police have, it's mostly

1072
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:48,160
Speaker 1: actually about another brother, a Beata one, and they haven't

1073
01:00:48,240 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: charged him with anything. Um, so they get this the

1074
01:00:51,320 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 1: wrong brother on unrelated crimes, which is very savvy in

1075
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:57,520
Speaker 1: terms of making the media think it doesn't have to

1076
01:00:57,520 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 1: do with the House. And then they delay at seven

1077
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: times until the fourth of July weekend, classic news dump.

1078
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 1: And I think they're going to use the patriotic holiday

1079
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:10,560
Speaker 1: to whitewash this thing involving a breach on the United

1080
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: States by this Pakistani guy with just a really troubling background.

1081
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: So some people are like, obviously, if you have Congress,

1082
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:20,320
Speaker 1: there must be some big secret investigation. Maybe he's squealing

1083
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,680
Speaker 1: on someone. I don't think that's what's happening. I think

1084
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: it's it's what it seems to be. He's being protected.

1085
01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 1: They're failing to charge things that they have abundant evidence

1086
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,919
Speaker 1: for in order to protect Democrats, and they're just gonna, um,

1087
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:32,440
Speaker 1: let him, you know, give him a slap on the

1088
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:34,720
Speaker 1: wrist and be done with it. And that's gonna be

1089
01:01:34,800 --> 01:01:38,320
Speaker 1: very effective in keeping the Washington so outrageous company. It's

1090
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: so outrageous the things they get away with. I I

1091
01:01:41,040 --> 01:01:44,480
Speaker 1: it really numbs the conscience and soul of this country

1092
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: that people would get away with this, you know, literally

1093
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 1: putting America's secrets out there and making them vulnerable, and

1094
01:01:50,320 --> 01:01:53,000
Speaker 1: there's no price to pay. I and I go back

1095
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,080
Speaker 1: to I don't know if you saw the news this week.

1096
01:01:55,560 --> 01:01:57,880
Speaker 1: I said, Now, if I told people to do what

1097
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: Hillary did, did you see all the oracle coverage over that?

1098
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:03,919
Speaker 1: And by the way, I said if and I said,

1099
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,560
Speaker 1: it's a bad idea, I said, kidding all of those

1100
01:02:07,600 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: caveats and these people obviously couldn't figure out Hillary did

1101
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 1: all of it, not meet that, not talk about it,

1102
01:02:14,240 --> 01:02:17,480
Speaker 1: actually did it. And Uh, all right, Luke, you've done

1103
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 1: amazing work. I still would like to see the proper investigation.

1104
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 1: This is very dangerous overall to our national security. And

1105
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 1: here we go again, our dual system of justice. All Right,

1106
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: we'll take a quick break and our Friday free for

1107
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,880
Speaker 1: all coming up next. We're gonna talk a little bit

1108
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: about how historical the media got this week and much

1109
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 1: more as we continue Sean Hannity Show. All Right, news

1110
01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: round up, information overload our here on the Sean Hannity Show.

1111
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: At the bottom of this, I want to pay a

1112
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: little tribute one of the just defining a profile encouraged

1113
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 1: Charles Crownhammer announcing that basically he has been told the

1114
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:55,920
Speaker 1: only has a short time here to live, meaning just

1115
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks. He said, this is my final verdict.

1116
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 1: My fight is over. I want to tell you how

1117
01:03:02,040 --> 01:03:05,360
Speaker 1: his entire life has been a profile encourage. We'll get

1118
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 1: to that at the bottom of the hour. Uh, and

1119
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: some experiences I've had with him, and he loved um

1120
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,360
Speaker 1: and actually wrote about one of them. But first I

1121
01:03:14,400 --> 01:03:17,480
Speaker 1: want to go back to where we were yesterday. I

1122
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 1: had a stack in front of me yesterday. We've now

1123
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:23,320
Speaker 1: reduced the size of it. And so I go on

1124
01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: the air earlier this week and I say, if I

1125
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,720
Speaker 1: were to tell I never do it. But if I

1126
01:03:28,760 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: were to tell, you know, people Robert Muller had asked

1127
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: for their cell phones, and if I said, uh, you

1128
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 1: may want to take those cell phones and delete all

1129
01:03:38,320 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: your emails and text and just to make super sure,

1130
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 1: you might want to bleach bit your phone and acid

1131
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: wash the hard drive on the phone and clean it

1132
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: all up and everything. And uh, oh, by the way,

1133
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: after that, uh, you might want to take a hammer

1134
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,760
Speaker 1: and break it into etsy bitsy pieces. And then you

1135
01:03:55,840 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 1: might want to, you know, when you hand over your

1136
01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,600
Speaker 1: phone to Mueller, take out the sim are two and

1137
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,640
Speaker 1: hand it over and say courtesy of Hillary Clinton, and

1138
01:04:04,840 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 1: we don't have a dual system of justice in America.

1139
01:04:07,760 --> 01:04:11,959
Speaker 1: And then I even said, kidding, bad, idea won't work.

1140
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 1: You won't have the same results as Hillary. And in

1141
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:18,960
Speaker 1: spite of all of that, there was just this collective meltdown,

1142
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: a fake news freak out. If you will buy Newsweek, AO, well,

1143
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 1: The Daily Beast, Independent Journal Review, uh, Hollywood Life why,

1144
01:04:31,840 --> 01:04:36,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure why, alter Net, Yahoo News, Independent Journal Review, Vice,

1145
01:04:36,400 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: the Rap. I mean, these are massive publications, one after another,

1146
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 1: and they're just hyper ventiling, ventilating, you know. Sean Hannity's

1147
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 1: advice to Muller witnesses pass your phones with a hammer. Hey, well,

1148
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,960
Speaker 1: delete your emails, acid wash your hard dry. Sean Hannity's

1149
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: against Mueller probe witnesses should destroy their evidence. Hannity to

1150
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 1: witnesses and Muller phone pro pash your phone own in pieces,

1151
01:05:01,800 --> 01:05:04,600
Speaker 1: and then it goes on. Media reported Hannity told Muller's

1152
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 1: witness witnesses to smash their phones. He unleashes. In response,

1153
01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:15,720
Speaker 1: former Watergate prosecutor says Sean Hannity admitted to criminal witness

1154
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:20,000
Speaker 1: tampering on Live TV. Delete all your emails acid washer

1155
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:24,560
Speaker 1: hard drives, says security experts Sean Hannity. Sean Hannity tells

1156
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 1: witnesses in Russia investigation acid washer emails in a wild rant.

1157
01:05:30,440 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 1: It goes on Hannity, I think, I just goes on

1158
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: and on and on. Sean Hannity recommends White House staffers

1159
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:40,920
Speaker 1: commit a felony for Trump, and Sean Hannity suggests witnesses

1160
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: destroy evidence. I mean, let me just stop. I can

1161
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:49,320
Speaker 1: go on. It was everywhere, everywhere, And then they're so

1162
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: stupid that not only did most of the miss the

1163
01:05:53,600 --> 01:05:58,480
Speaker 1: clear and obvious sarcasm, which by the way, is protected

1164
01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:02,680
Speaker 1: by the First Amend meant and by a Supreme Court case.

1165
01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:06,840
Speaker 1: But we'll leave that for another day, but they, more importantly,

1166
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: there was so outraged that the possibility I might might

1167
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:13,440
Speaker 1: suggest that, even though I'm saying bad idea, it's not

1168
01:06:13,480 --> 01:06:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna work out the way it did for Hillary. Kidding, Uh,

1169
01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:19,800
Speaker 1: if I were to tell them, meaning I'm not telling

1170
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: them if I were, And what they miss is how

1171
01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 1: it exposed them? What did it exposed them to? Hillary?

1172
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 1: Did it all? Listen to the coverage on Conspiracy Theory

1173
01:06:28,800 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 1: TV MSNBC, Sean Hanny is now literally telling potential witnesses

1174
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 1: and subjects in the Miller probe to destroy the evidence

1175
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: and hammer their phones into pieces. To Hannity's defenders may

1176
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:49,240
Speaker 1: call that sarcasm or poetic license, but words our words.

1177
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 1: Sean Hanny lives off his words, and we all know

1178
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 1: they have a huge impact. If anyone actually does what

1179
01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity says, they're they'd be committing a crime. What

1180
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity admitted to, it actually was enticing people to do,

1181
01:07:04,800 --> 01:07:08,000
Speaker 1: and asking him to do, was to destroy evidence, which

1182
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:12,440
Speaker 1: is a violation of the witness tampering statute. No responsible

1183
01:07:12,560 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: person on television, no responsible so called journalists, should be

1184
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:22,000
Speaker 1: advocating for people to destroy evidence in a serious federal investigation.

1185
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't think that we'll see him prosecuted. Federal prosecutors

1186
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 1: give people a very wide berth on First Amendment related conduct,

1187
01:07:31,840 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 1: and so unless there's something more specific to to link

1188
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: it up, I think that this will be what we

1189
01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: often categorize as awful but lawful conduct. Listen, if he's

1190
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 1: out there advocating for Muller's witnesses to obstruct justice, then

1191
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:45,960
Speaker 1: maybe the Mollers to speak to him and ask him

1192
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 1: where the idea comes from. Have you spoken to the

1193
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,560
Speaker 1: President about this? Did the President tell you to say this?

1194
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 1: Knowing Mueller, I think he's not going to light that

1195
01:07:53,440 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 1: fire under someone who who gets free airtime every day.

1196
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: But one angle, one angle would be to say, yeah, look,

1197
01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,280
Speaker 1: I'm going to I'm going to a judge and I'm

1198
01:08:02,320 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 1: gonna have you see I'm gonna have you season desist

1199
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: this activity on national television. Secondly, I want to talk

1200
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,080
Speaker 1: to you and see if if Trump has got this

1201
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 1: idea from you or vice versa. Talked to Muller, all right,

1202
01:08:14,880 --> 01:08:18,360
Speaker 1: I want to meet Andrew Weissman and Genie Ray and

1203
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,640
Speaker 1: uh Mueller himself. I have questions for them. You know,

1204
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 1: they get to ask you a question. I get to

1205
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: ask a question. That's how we'll play that game. But

1206
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, when you really think about it, he won't.

1207
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:30,559
Speaker 1: He may want to speak to you, may want to

1208
01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: send a season desist. I said, kidding bad, idea won't

1209
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:39,280
Speaker 1: work out well for you. And I said, if we

1210
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: if I were to tell them that, you know this

1211
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 1: is awful, but probably lawful prosecutors give a wide birth

1212
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 1: here like oh, my god, they're so stupid because Hill,

1213
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: why wouldn't they mean as outraged that Hillary did it all.

1214
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:55,280
Speaker 1: Leslie Marshall is the host of The Leslie Marshall Show.

1215
01:08:55,360 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 1: Damn Bongino, former Secret Service agent and our a TV

1216
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 1: contributor and us to the Dan Bongino Show. Welcome both

1217
01:09:02,160 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: of you. Uh, Leslie, Leslie, you do radio. There's things

1218
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: that we call radio radio bits. I'd say this, Michael

1219
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:14,719
Speaker 1: down in history is one of my best Well, Sean,

1220
01:09:14,880 --> 01:09:18,360
Speaker 1: I know that my liberal buddies may be angry, and

1221
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,760
Speaker 1: your audience may faint and Dan take a seat, but

1222
01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm actually gonna defend you on this, and let me

1223
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,719
Speaker 1: tell you why he as a radio talk show host.

1224
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,960
Speaker 1: Because because it was clear that you were being sarcast

1225
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:30,800
Speaker 1: it was clear you were kidding. First of all, I

1226
01:09:30,840 --> 01:09:34,360
Speaker 1: don't think anybody in their right mind thought that you

1227
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 1: were actually asking any witness to tamper with evidence, Leslie, Leslie,

1228
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:43,519
Speaker 1: every major news outlet on the web and around the country,

1229
01:09:43,560 --> 01:09:45,960
Speaker 1: you just heard what they were saying. How can they

1230
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 1: be that stupid? I'm saying, and I say, they're doing

1231
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:52,200
Speaker 1: their branch with that, and and and they're using it

1232
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:56,559
Speaker 1: to their advantage in a sense effectively. But the reality is,

1233
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,720
Speaker 1: if somebody were to take your or my as talk

1234
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:04,839
Speaker 1: show host advice, legally, they're crazy. And secondly, if somebody

1235
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,960
Speaker 1: has a criminal mindset, they probably would have thought of

1236
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 1: possibly doing any of those things that you sarcastically and

1237
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:16,120
Speaker 1: jokingly had referenced. Quite frankly, it's not like you have

1238
01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:17,720
Speaker 1: to tell them to do it. But the bottom line,

1239
01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: it was clear to me that you and I heard

1240
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: that you know your your ranch before you know you

1241
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: talked about it again today. It was clear to me

1242
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,360
Speaker 1: you were joking a people in your entirety and that

1243
01:10:29,439 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 1: you were being socked. How many more caveats could I

1244
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: put in there? Though, I said, if I said I'm kidding,

1245
01:10:36,479 --> 01:10:38,840
Speaker 1: I said, it's a bad idea. I said, it won't

1246
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 1: work out well for you. I mean, it can't be

1247
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: any more clear. And what's so amazing Dan to me

1248
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:49,240
Speaker 1: is they didn't get it. They didn't understand. They're more

1249
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:53,360
Speaker 1: angry at me and the idea I might suggested. And

1250
01:10:53,479 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: Hillary did it all Listen, I was actually taking notes

1251
01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,360
Speaker 1: during your rand. Let me just give a huge hat

1252
01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 1: tip too. I don't know if it's Ethan or Jason,

1253
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: but that music play it in the background, absolutely hysterical

1254
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 1: during that rand. And let me just say as well,

1255
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 1: this is why I like Leslie because you know, although

1256
01:11:11,320 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 1: she's a liberal and she passionately defends her position. When

1257
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:17,839
Speaker 1: she senses stupidity, she calls it. This is I watched

1258
01:11:17,840 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 1: your segment live, Sean. Do you realize you have to

1259
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:25,200
Speaker 1: have an i Q of about sixteen point five. And

1260
01:11:27,439 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: here's the notes I took on this set. When you

1261
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,040
Speaker 1: were playing the clips of the of the liberal imbeciles

1262
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: coming out with their commentary, one guy said he literally

1263
01:11:35,320 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 1: said that. Now, I don't think he understands what literally means,

1264
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,120
Speaker 1: because if you read the commentary, you literally did not

1265
01:11:42,320 --> 01:11:45,200
Speaker 1: literally say that. It didn't have you out in the

1266
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:50,000
Speaker 1: end that you get a dictionary that's number one, number two.

1267
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,920
Speaker 1: When one of them says this is hysterical, I don't

1268
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 1: think we'll see him prosecuted. Oh you think prosecuted for what? Sarcasm?

1269
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:00,759
Speaker 1: You idiot number one, Even if that's what you were saying,

1270
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: which you categorically were not. Of course, you won't see

1271
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: him prosecuted because Hillary wasn't prosecuted for doing it. And

1272
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:10,439
Speaker 1: one final thing, when this is hysterical. He's advocating for

1273
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:16,680
Speaker 1: obstruction of No, you're right, the iron the irony is

1274
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 1: I that's the that's the incredible part of it. Now,

1275
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 1: I thought i'd get some reaction. I'm not gonna lie,

1276
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,680
Speaker 1: but I never thought you did it. You did it

1277
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,759
Speaker 1: on purpose for reaction. Just tell the whole the wizard.

1278
01:12:29,920 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: Oh no, No, I I was. I was making a

1279
01:12:32,840 --> 01:12:35,880
Speaker 1: point that and the points a serious one actually, that

1280
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 1: is that we have a dual justice system. We have

1281
01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 1: one for the Clintons and one for everybody else. That's

1282
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:43,960
Speaker 1: why I said, bad idea. It's not gonna work out

1283
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,200
Speaker 1: for you the way it did for Hillary. And that's

1284
01:12:46,240 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 1: the point. She did all of those things. You know, Leslie,

1285
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:51,920
Speaker 1: you're a liberal. I know you're not the biggest fan

1286
01:12:51,960 --> 01:12:54,200
Speaker 1: of the Clintons. But she did it all. Why isn't

1287
01:12:54,200 --> 01:12:59,599
Speaker 1: she and jail? Because as that person said about you,

1288
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,160
Speaker 1: it's awful but not unlawful, which sounds like a Newport

1289
01:13:03,200 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Creamery milkshake from back in the day. Um but but no,

1290
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 1: but seriously, how is it lawful to take subpeno emails

1291
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,640
Speaker 1: delete them to acid wash? Did you ever hear a

1292
01:13:15,640 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 1: bleached bit before Hillary? I hadn't acid washer hard drive

1293
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,759
Speaker 1: heard that I had not heard that she acid washes

1294
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: the hard drive and Aid's busting up hammers with Hammer's devices.

1295
01:13:26,240 --> 01:13:29,800
Speaker 1: And by the way, she did violate uh, the law,

1296
01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 1: the Espionage Act, and she had a it's a felony

1297
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: to mishandle or destroy classified, top secret or special access

1298
01:13:37,320 --> 01:13:40,680
Speaker 1: programming information. She did all that too. James Comey said, so,

1299
01:13:41,040 --> 01:13:44,040
Speaker 1: but if if the Department of Justice chooses, and that

1300
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: if is, they still can it's not a statute up

1301
01:13:47,120 --> 01:13:51,040
Speaker 1: on that um, and they haven't, then they could proceed

1302
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,599
Speaker 1: if they so deemed the criminal path. The reason they

1303
01:13:54,640 --> 01:13:58,000
Speaker 1: haven't sewn is because there is no UH, I don't

1304
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 1: think so. Have you ever heard have you ever heard

1305
01:14:02,479 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: of an exoneration being written months before they actually did

1306
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:10,919
Speaker 1: the investigation? That that is that normal procedure by law enforcement.

1307
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,720
Speaker 1: And I know Dan knows the answer, Dan answer, But

1308
01:14:15,200 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna just step into law enforcement shoes. Dan,

1309
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,800
Speaker 1: even though we disagree on things. You would know that

1310
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 1: better than I. Well, yeah, the problem showing with this

1311
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: is they keep focusing on intent in the destruction of

1312
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: evidence when and and the use of classified information over

1313
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: a private server when that's not a component of the crime.

1314
01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 1: But Sean, can I bring up the most ironic thing

1315
01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,000
Speaker 1: of this whole case? You know, one of them says,

1316
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: there's I took so many notes through it was so good.

1317
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:41,400
Speaker 1: One of them like, maybe they should send the Mueller

1318
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,320
Speaker 1: team to interview Sean. I wonder if Aaron Zeblei is

1319
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: going to show up. You know, he's on the Mueller team.

1320
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,520
Speaker 1: And you know what's interesting about Zebli. Aaron Zebli represented

1321
01:14:49,600 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: Justin Cooper of the Clinton team, who's on the record

1322
01:14:52,680 --> 01:14:59,599
Speaker 1: for having destroyed BlackBerry. Interview you about not your story, listen,

1323
01:14:59,680 --> 01:15:03,160
Speaker 1: I that would be this interview ever put that on

1324
01:15:03,200 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 1: your show? Oh I. I actually would look forward to

1325
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 1: asking questions of people like Andrew Weiseman and Jennie Ray.

1326
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, but this this is the most

1327
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 1: corrupt team of prosecutors I've ever seen put together. And

1328
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: and Leslie represented the Clinton Foundation. I want to ask

1329
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,599
Speaker 1: her about I want to ask how Andrew Weisman felt

1330
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: after the Anderson accounting case. Tens of thousands of fellow

1331
01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 1: Americans lost their job. He lost nine o on the

1332
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 1: Supreme Court. He's been excoriated twice for withholding exculpatory evidence.

1333
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 1: He sent Merrill executives to jail for a year, only

1334
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,679
Speaker 1: to be overturned by the Fifth Circuit. I don't think

1335
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: you'd want such a person looking into you and your family, Leslie,

1336
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: would you? Well? I have to say I would probably

1337
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:52,879
Speaker 1: not want a lot of people looking into my background

1338
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:55,280
Speaker 1: if I knew the background of all of those individuals

1339
01:15:55,320 --> 01:16:00,920
Speaker 1: and and and that's you know, regardless of who is

1340
01:16:01,280 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 1: Secretary of State the White House. But you got to

1341
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,080
Speaker 1: admit taking somebody with that background and putting him on

1342
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: the team then and only Democrats is a bad idea.

1343
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:15,160
Speaker 1: On the appearance, it looks horrible because it is horrible.

1344
01:16:15,320 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: All right, stay right there, Leslie Marshall and Dan Bongino.

1345
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: Uh well, I have a tribute for Charles Croudhammer, just

1346
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:27,679
Speaker 1: the profile encouraged a letter that he put out today

1347
01:16:27,720 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 1: that he expects that his life is ending in a

1348
01:16:31,479 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 1: very short time, meaning weeks not months. He says, it's

1349
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: the final verdict. My fight is over an incredible profile Encourage.

1350
01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about Charles Croudhammer when we

1351
01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: get back. We'll continue the first with with our good friend.

1352
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 1: Leslie Marshall and Dan bung alright, final thoughts here with

1353
01:16:49,320 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: Leslie Marshall and Dan Bongino. Dan, I can only say,

1354
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 1: and I was like, watch all of this and the

1355
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: addited charges against Mana for it today. And what I

1356
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,639
Speaker 1: don't understand is what Jealous said. You know, now they're

1357
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 1: looking at a two thousand five tax case to put

1358
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:08,360
Speaker 1: the screws to Paul Manafort, so he'll sing or maybe

1359
01:17:08,400 --> 01:17:11,880
Speaker 1: compose because they want to prosecute Trumper and Pete Trump.

1360
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I think he just exposed the entire corruption

1361
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: as these you know, political prosecutions go on. You know.

1362
01:17:19,479 --> 01:17:22,280
Speaker 1: So maybe it's me having bene federal agent and had

1363
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 1: this power to you know, take someone's freedom away as

1364
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: a secret service agent. That frightens me a little bit.

1365
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:30,200
Speaker 1: But I'm genuinely confused why more liberals are used to

1366
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:33,360
Speaker 1: be on the side of civil rights are not clearly

1367
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,800
Speaker 1: touching onto what's going on here. Listen to me. They

1368
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: are not targeting a crime here. It is clear as

1369
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 1: day or it's targeting Donald Trump. That is not the

1370
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: way the justice system mark. You report a crime and

1371
01:17:43,080 --> 01:17:46,000
Speaker 1: look for people. You don't report a person and then

1372
01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 1: look for a crime. That's not the way to last

1373
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 1: word leslie. If you I think that most Americans in

1374
01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:55,519
Speaker 1: the poll show want the truth and if if if,

1375
01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: if the truth leaves two or away for the president's administration.

1376
01:17:59,360 --> 01:18:02,759
Speaker 1: The task was given to Mueller is to look into

1377
01:18:03,080 --> 01:18:06,559
Speaker 1: obstruction of justice and collusion. And I think we need

1378
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:08,840
Speaker 1: to sit back and let him do his job and

1379
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,639
Speaker 1: in the end we will hopefully find out the truth.

1380
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:13,680
Speaker 1: But if he has to dig and the and he

1381
01:18:13,680 --> 01:18:16,040
Speaker 1: has to dig deep, I don't care where he's digging

1382
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: as long as it leads to the truth. All right,

1383
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: thank you both of being with us. All right, Charles

1384
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: Croudhammer's profile encourage a letter his face to thank you

1385
01:18:26,080 --> 01:18:29,879
Speaker 1: and goodbye, as he is now facing in his words,

1386
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:33,880
Speaker 1: the final fight in his life, and he said it

1387
01:18:34,120 --> 01:18:38,559
Speaker 1: is over, as illness has now consumed him. That's next, alright,

1388
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:41,040
Speaker 1: twenty five now until the top of the hour. Looking

1389
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 1: forward to uh doing the show three in the morning

1390
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 1: every day from Singapore, and UM, you know, we're really

1391
01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:51,360
Speaker 1: honored that we have the opportunity. I have some things

1392
01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:53,400
Speaker 1: to tell you about it, but I can't tell you now.

1393
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:56,000
Speaker 1: And we'll have the best coverage. Next week is going

1394
01:18:56,080 --> 01:19:00,720
Speaker 1: to be the single biggest news week I can think

1395
01:19:00,760 --> 01:19:03,439
Speaker 1: of going into the week. Obviously, we don't know what

1396
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 1: the outcome is gonna be. Obviously we have no idea

1397
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 1: about what the outcome is gonna be. I know the President, uh,

1398
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: knowing him as well as I know, he won't wait

1399
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: five seconds before he says I'll see you later. Well,

1400
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: but we already won. Now, the question is can you

1401
01:19:19,360 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 1: get a massive, big deal done. That's what that's what

1402
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:25,120
Speaker 1: it's important here. Um, I want to take a minute.

1403
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: I want to take a minute here and UM say

1404
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,639
Speaker 1: a word about a colleague of mine. I Uh, I've

1405
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 1: known for a little while now that Charles Croudhammer has

1406
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,679
Speaker 1: been sick. Um. And I've known Charles Croudhammer for many

1407
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: many years and his his work at the Fox News Channel.

1408
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: And I read the statement that he released today, and

1409
01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 1: I will tell you it is one of the bravest

1410
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 1: things that I've ever read in my life in terms

1411
01:19:50,439 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 1: of what one human being can say about what this

1412
01:19:55,360 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: life is and how precarious at times life can be

1413
01:19:58,360 --> 01:20:00,680
Speaker 1: for all of us. And I think it's one of

1414
01:20:00,720 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 1: the hardest things that anybody would have to do as

1415
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:07,200
Speaker 1: it relates to, you know, just facing the truth in life,

1416
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: and that is that we we know we're not gonna

1417
01:20:10,960 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 1: be here forever, and the older we get. I mean

1418
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:17,800
Speaker 1: Anthony Bourdain, who who apparently took his life. Um, you

1419
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: just never know. You would think, looking on the outside,

1420
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,439
Speaker 1: everybody would think, oh, he has the best life. Gets

1421
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,080
Speaker 1: to travel the world and and get paid to eat

1422
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 1: you know, exotic dishes and and you know, meet incredible people.

1423
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you're happy. You know, I will tell you

1424
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,720
Speaker 1: I've met people that have everything that are still unhappy.

1425
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:37,640
Speaker 1: I know people that are depressed. I know people that

1426
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,799
Speaker 1: are manic depressed. I know people that have mental illness,

1427
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 1: I know people that have physical ailments. I want to

1428
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:43,559
Speaker 1: read this to you and then tell you a little

1429
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: bit more about what I know about Charles Kroudhammer, and

1430
01:20:46,560 --> 01:20:49,000
Speaker 1: he put out a statement today that I just it

1431
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,719
Speaker 1: blew me away. I have been uncharacteristically silent these past

1432
01:20:52,760 --> 01:20:56,160
Speaker 1: ten months now. I had thought that silence would soon

1433
01:20:56,200 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 1: be coming to an end. But I'm afraid I must

1434
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:01,320
Speaker 1: tell you now that fate has decided on a different

1435
01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:03,759
Speaker 1: course for me. In August of last year, I underwent

1436
01:21:03,840 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 1: surgery to remove a cancerous tumor in my abdomen. The

1437
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 1: operation was thought to have been a success, but it

1438
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,559
Speaker 1: caused a cascade of secondary complications which I have been

1439
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,840
Speaker 1: fighting in the hospital ever since. It was a long

1440
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,160
Speaker 1: and hard fight with many setbacks, but I was steadily,

1441
01:21:20,200 --> 01:21:24,640
Speaker 1: if slowly, overcoming each obstacle along the way and gradually

1442
01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:27,879
Speaker 1: making my way back to health. However, the recent tests

1443
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:30,559
Speaker 1: have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no

1444
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: sign of it as recently as a month ago, which

1445
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: means it is aggressive and it is spreading rapidly. My

1446
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have

1447
01:21:39,920 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: only a few weeks left to live. This is the

1448
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,640
Speaker 1: final verdict. My fight is over. He goes on. I

1449
01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: wish to thank my doctors and caregivers, whose efforts have

1450
01:21:49,439 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: been magnificent, my dear friends who have given me a

1451
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:57,400
Speaker 1: lifetime of memories and whose support has sustained me through

1452
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: these difficult months, and all of my partners at The

1453
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,880
Speaker 1: Washington Post, Fox News, Crown Publishing. And lastly, I thank

1454
01:22:03,960 --> 01:22:07,920
Speaker 1: my colleagues, my readers, and my viewers who have made

1455
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 1: my career possible and given consequence to my life's work. Now,

1456
01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,720
Speaker 1: I believe that the pursuit of truth and right ideas

1457
01:22:17,200 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: through honest debate and rigorous argument is a noble undertaking,

1458
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:23,880
Speaker 1: and I am grateful to have played a small role

1459
01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 1: in the conversations that help guide this extraordinary nation's destiny.

1460
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 1: I leave this life with no regrets. It's been a

1461
01:22:31,080 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: wonderful life, full and complete with the great loves and

1462
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,839
Speaker 1: great endeavors that make it worth living. I'm sad to leave,

1463
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: but I leave with the knowledge that I lived the

1464
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 1: life that I intended. Charles Crownhammer, I want to just

1465
01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:49,040
Speaker 1: tell you a story because that represents everything I've known

1466
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 1: about him, Charles Crownhammer's life as a profile encourage. I

1467
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: won't give you the whole story, you know what, it

1468
01:22:54,080 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 1: might be worth ordering his book because it's pretty phenomenal.

1469
01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: And he actually tells this story in the book. And um,

1470
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,559
Speaker 1: you know, we have a Washington Bureau and I worked

1471
01:23:03,680 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: out of New York, and as a result, I would

1472
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,840
Speaker 1: never you know, at different times i'd be down there

1473
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot. Other times I wouldn't be down there much.

1474
01:23:10,800 --> 01:23:13,760
Speaker 1: But I've always watched him on TV. And you know,

1475
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,880
Speaker 1: I was always busy doing my show and prepping for

1476
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:19,840
Speaker 1: my other show, so I never really got a chance

1477
01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: to watch him every night, but I would have him

1478
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:24,479
Speaker 1: on frequently as a guest over the years, and at

1479
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 1: some point I finally met And this goes back many

1480
01:23:27,560 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 1: years ago. I finally met Charles Crownhammer. I didn't know

1481
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: his life story. I didn't know that he had been

1482
01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,400
Speaker 1: in a wheelchair since pretty early on after he had

1483
01:23:35,439 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 1: finished medical school. He's a doctor, he's a medical doctor.

1484
01:23:38,160 --> 01:23:41,439
Speaker 1: And I said to him, Charles, I never knew. And

1485
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 1: it brought the biggest smile to his face, and I said,

1486
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry, and he's laughing. He literally was laughing

1487
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:51,160
Speaker 1: at me on my expense, which was great. And it

1488
01:23:51,200 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 1: turned out I I didn't know at the time, but

1489
01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: it turned out that he was laughing because he never

1490
01:23:56,600 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 1: wanted to be defined by being in a wheelchair. I mean,

1491
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: the level of incapacitation for him was severe, I mean,

1492
01:24:03,680 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, paralyzed from the chest down. And his ability

1493
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:10,760
Speaker 1: that the amount of courage it took. He would do

1494
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,479
Speaker 1: the shows every single day, write his books and columns

1495
01:24:14,520 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: every single day. Now imagine life is hard enough, This

1496
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:22,360
Speaker 1: life is difficult, and now imagine that every single morning

1497
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: you are right, You're not going to be a doctor

1498
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,200
Speaker 1: that you work so hard to be. You gotta now

1499
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:30,000
Speaker 1: transform your dreams in life, your expectations of what you

1500
01:24:30,160 --> 01:24:32,840
Speaker 1: want your life to be. You end up in a wheelchair.

1501
01:24:33,240 --> 01:24:35,719
Speaker 1: And look at the career that this man has built,

1502
01:24:36,000 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 1: look at the impact intellectual impact that he has had.

1503
01:24:39,680 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: And we didn't always agree, and I think he always

1504
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: loved it more when we disagreed, actually, and he always

1505
01:24:45,240 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: make a powerful case on his side, and and it

1506
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 1: was always friendly. So anyway, when I when he wrote

1507
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: about this experience of me not knowing, and then he

1508
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,519
Speaker 1: talked about so many other people that wrote him that

1509
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:01,639
Speaker 1: didn't know as well, and it made him happy. Now,

1510
01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: think about the challenges just for a minute. If you

1511
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,519
Speaker 1: have to get up, wake up every single day, as

1512
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,799
Speaker 1: hard as life already is, and have the added burden

1513
01:25:09,840 --> 01:25:12,679
Speaker 1: of being in a wheelchair, and have the added burden

1514
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 1: of having you know everything, is therefore that much more difficult.

1515
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,080
Speaker 1: Getting dressed is an ordeal, Getting up is an ordeal,

1516
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 1: getting a shower, getting changed is an ordeal. Every day.

1517
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 1: Eating was an ordeal. Writing was an ordeal. Challenges that

1518
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: most of us never face in life. And I and

1519
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: frankly you know, I've I've learned this in all the

1520
01:25:35,120 --> 01:25:38,520
Speaker 1: years that I've known military people that I've seen severe injuries,

1521
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: and I and how did they get up every day?

1522
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,720
Speaker 1: And how did they Guys that double amputees, guys that

1523
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,799
Speaker 1: had their arms blown off, guys that have their faces

1524
01:25:47,840 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: are disfigured. Their look you totally unrecognizable before they were

1525
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,000
Speaker 1: hurting in action trying to defend us. And I look,

1526
01:25:56,080 --> 01:25:58,000
Speaker 1: every time I think I have a problem in life,

1527
01:25:58,040 --> 01:26:00,200
Speaker 1: I think of people like Charles and Pete all in

1528
01:26:00,240 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 1: the military that have sustained these incredible injuries. So now

1529
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 1: he's facing and I just love how he did it,

1530
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I just think the way he said it,

1531
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: my fight's over. This is the final verdict. He's facing

1532
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:15,799
Speaker 1: a truth that the doctors told him. And Non's always

1533
01:26:15,800 --> 01:26:18,559
Speaker 1: hoped for a miracle. But you know, to say all

1534
01:26:18,600 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: that he loved everything that he did in this life

1535
01:26:21,800 --> 01:26:24,799
Speaker 1: and he's happy to have had the opportunity in this life.

1536
01:26:25,120 --> 01:26:29,400
Speaker 1: And I would just say he is and defines everything

1537
01:26:29,439 --> 01:26:33,160
Speaker 1: that is great about people. Their ability to overcome adversity

1538
01:26:33,160 --> 01:26:36,640
Speaker 1: and challenge, their ability to dig deep with grit and

1539
01:26:36,680 --> 01:26:39,559
Speaker 1: determination and become the best you can be. Um the

1540
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,360
Speaker 1: fact that he contributed so much in terms of, you know,

1541
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:47,920
Speaker 1: using his intellectual curiosity and his intellectual acumen. He was

1542
01:26:47,960 --> 01:26:50,960
Speaker 1: brilliant to to the country and the narratives that in

1543
01:26:50,960 --> 01:26:53,400
Speaker 1: the debates that we have, and there wasn't a bitter

1544
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:59,200
Speaker 1: bone in his body. The guy loved this life. And

1545
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 1: um now he's heading onto the next life. I mean,

1546
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, I know there are people

1547
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: that don't have any faith. I just have. I don't

1548
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: know how I would. You know, we always like to

1549
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,439
Speaker 1: think how would we react to these things? And honestly,

1550
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,639
Speaker 1: I would hope when this moment comes in my life,

1551
01:27:16,680 --> 01:27:19,800
Speaker 1: and it will come, I would like to know it's

1552
01:27:19,840 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: coming like he does, and I'd like to think that

1553
01:27:23,000 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: I can handle it as gracefully as he can. And

1554
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 1: it just shows it defines him who he was. That's

1555
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: the man I knew. So I when I interviewed him

1556
01:27:33,400 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 1: about that story in the book about the wheelchair, he

1557
01:27:36,720 --> 01:27:39,800
Speaker 1: started laughing. I said, you know, this is so embarrassing

1558
01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 1: to me, and you put this in your book, and

1559
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,519
Speaker 1: he goes, oh, don't be embarrassed. That to me was

1560
01:27:46,600 --> 01:27:49,519
Speaker 1: like a gift. And he told me it became a

1561
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: story that he told everybody and I actually tell my

1562
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:56,480
Speaker 1: version of it now, and that actually made me happy

1563
01:27:56,760 --> 01:27:59,040
Speaker 1: that I had turned a moment where I didn't know

1564
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:01,439
Speaker 1: that I got to know about his life and his

1565
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:06,760
Speaker 1: accident and learned about his experiences, and I just I

1566
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: had such deep respect for the man that I learned

1567
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 1: about in the process. Look, I just want to say

1568
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,759
Speaker 1: that Charles Croudhammer, thank you for the for the times

1569
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 1: we've had together. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

1570
01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:27,600
Speaker 1: God speed. You know, incredible life lived, incredible adversity overcome.

1571
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 1: He definitely defines having fought the good fight and well done.

1572
01:28:33,400 --> 01:28:37,720
Speaker 1: I as a Christian, I just believe that God has

1573
01:28:37,760 --> 01:28:40,200
Speaker 1: prepared for us many mansions in heaven and the hairs

1574
01:28:40,200 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 1: of our head accounted. I believe all that, and that

1575
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,439
Speaker 1: there's a paradise that awaits all of us. I look

1576
01:28:47,520 --> 01:28:51,280
Speaker 1: forward to seeing Charles there so profile and courage that

1577
01:28:51,320 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 1: you don't see very often. Alright. Eight one Sean is

Speaker 1: is in Virginia. Pam, Welcome to the Sean Hannity Showy.

1581
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: First of all, Mr Croudhammer, gutsteed, the good faithful service

1582
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:13,720
Speaker 1: going home, by the way, that is one of the

1583
01:29:13,760 --> 01:29:18,920
Speaker 1: most lovely, incredible lines. If at the end of our life,

1584
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:22,960
Speaker 1: somebody at our funerals can say, good and faithful servant,

1585
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 1: welcome home, Welcome home. That is the biggest statement that

1586
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,160
Speaker 1: we can say about someone, Welcome home. And he is

1587
01:29:30,240 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: just such an icon and such a tower of truth,

1588
01:29:33,960 --> 01:29:38,560
Speaker 1: just as somebody else we name, Mr Hannity, You're I honestly,

1589
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:42,839
Speaker 1: it's I appreciate your kindness. Well, I watched your movie.

1590
01:29:43,200 --> 01:29:45,760
Speaker 1: I'll just touch on that briefly. Did you like it?

1591
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 1: Oh my god, here's my question. Did you cry at

1592
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 1: the movie the whole Yes? How can you not? Everybody cries?

1593
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:55,160
Speaker 1: I've actually seen screenings of people in the whole movie

1594
01:29:55,200 --> 01:29:57,439
Speaker 1: theaters crying. I believe it or not, you can't tell

1595
01:29:57,520 --> 01:30:00,200
Speaker 1: it by this conversation. I am not a crier. Mean,

1596
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:05,840
Speaker 1: I am not a crier. Well, listen, neither am I. Uh. Although, honestly,

1597
01:30:06,680 --> 01:30:08,760
Speaker 1: just talking about Charles, it was not easy for me.

1598
01:30:08,840 --> 01:30:11,559
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm not very good. I'm not very good

1599
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:15,840
Speaker 1: at dealing with death. I just I it's very hard.

1600
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: I just have this mechanism where I kind of shut

1601
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: it off, just just kind of push it out because

1602
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:25,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm emotionally strong enough to really let

1603
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:27,559
Speaker 1: it in the way I want, Like I would, Well,

1604
01:30:27,600 --> 01:30:29,960
Speaker 1: if you're like most of it, if you ever started

1605
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,439
Speaker 1: crying over someone like that, it would be days before

1606
01:30:33,439 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 1: you stopped. I know, I mean, I it's like when

1607
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:38,800
Speaker 1: And I don't want to compare it. I just this

1608
01:30:38,880 --> 01:30:43,479
Speaker 1: life is so precious and we forget it and so brief.

1609
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,479
Speaker 1: And on the other hand, it's so incredible. It's such

1610
01:30:46,520 --> 01:30:49,360
Speaker 1: a gift. And what's so amazing about Charles is his

1611
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: was fifty thousand times harder than ours, and he loved

1612
01:30:52,880 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: it and he lived it. I love the people that

1613
01:30:55,200 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: live life to the fullest, even as imperfect as we are.

1614
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:01,400
Speaker 1: I love those people exactly. You know what Donald Trump

1615
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:04,800
Speaker 1: does by the way he lives life to the fullest? Oh,

1616
01:31:04,840 --> 01:31:08,759
Speaker 1: my second, by second, I mean, and I think there's

1617
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: I think there's an example there for all of us.

1618
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:14,040
Speaker 1: My dad always used to say life happens while we're

1619
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,360
Speaker 1: busy living, and I try to live by that. You know,

1620
01:31:17,439 --> 01:31:20,840
Speaker 1: people have been asking me lately, Pam, how are you

1621
01:31:20,880 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 1: dealing with all these attacks. I'm like, I don't know,

1622
01:31:23,920 --> 01:31:28,639
Speaker 1: I don't really think about Maybe I'm maybe I'm missing

1623
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: a chip Pam. I don't know. I was coming from nothing,

1624
01:31:31,360 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 1: and that's I just wanted to touch on that real briefly.

1625
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,719
Speaker 1: I don't know whether I'm more amazed or appalled or

1626
01:31:39,479 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 1: aggravated or always be about I sat and listened to

1627
01:31:43,360 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 1: report after report after report, and I know you played

1628
01:31:48,080 --> 01:31:51,639
Speaker 1: that about the breathless Press, and it was like, oh

1629
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 1: my god, can you believe John Hannity is telling people

1630
01:31:54,520 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 1: smashed your phone, take off the some cards. And I'm like,

1631
01:31:57,760 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 1: are you all a bunch of Mormons? Can't you see

1632
01:31:59,760 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 1: the apocrisy and what he's saying, can't you Oh my god,

1633
01:32:02,960 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: turning it back on you? And none of them could?

1634
01:32:05,439 --> 01:32:09,679
Speaker 1: I mean it? And I like the one lawyer said, oh,

1635
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:11,479
Speaker 1: and he got away with it because he put in

1636
01:32:11,520 --> 01:32:15,200
Speaker 1: all those caveats. I'm like, yeah, I used that, dumb

1637
01:32:15,240 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 1: it was. Somebody asked me yesterday, good friend of mine,

1638
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:19,800
Speaker 1: he goes, you planned that, didn't you? And I said, yeah,

1639
01:32:20,240 --> 01:32:26,280
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit, Yes, I did, executed it perfectly. Um.

1640
01:32:26,320 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 1: I didn't think I'll be honest, though, I didn't think

1641
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: they'd go this ridiculously far. How revealing is it? Though

1642
01:32:34,360 --> 01:32:36,640
Speaker 1: they're mad at me because I might even though I

1643
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: said joking, bad idea if I said it, you know,

1644
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,719
Speaker 1: and then but she actually did it, and then more

1645
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 1: outrage that I might suggest it. I don't think any

1646
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:51,200
Speaker 1: of them have gotten it still, that you're comparing what

1647
01:32:51,280 --> 01:32:55,160
Speaker 1: you were saying to what she did and God, and

1648
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 1: none of them have come up with like this, you know,

1649
01:32:58,520 --> 01:33:01,719
Speaker 1: Tiffany that oh my god, gosh, let's think about maybe

1650
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:06,960
Speaker 1: not saying that. You know, you can't well, Pam, I

1651
01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 1: could tell you have a heart of gold. And Uh,

1652
01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,360
Speaker 1: let's all just put Charles in his family in our

1653
01:33:12,360 --> 01:33:16,640
Speaker 1: prayers and thank him for all that he's done for

1654
01:33:16,680 --> 01:33:18,720
Speaker 1: all of us over the years and the service that

1655
01:33:18,760 --> 01:33:24,200
Speaker 1: he provided this country. Uh, those words are powerful. Welcome home,
