1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,000 Speaker 1: Let not your heart be troubled. You are listening to 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:07,120 Speaker 1: the Sean Hannity Radio Show podcast, And then I speak 3 00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,719 Speaker 1: for everyone, thank you for everything you've done to protect 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: our nation's great legal heritage. In keeping with President Reagan's legacy, 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: I do not ask about a nominee's personal opinions. What 6 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 1: matters is not a judge's political views, but whether they 7 00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: can set aside those views to do what the law 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: and the Constitution require. I am pleased to say that 9 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: I have found, without doubt such a person. Tonight, it 10 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: is my honor and privilege to announce that I will 11 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:51,239 Speaker 1: nominate Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States suppoin Cham. 12 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: I've spent my career in public service, from the Executive 13 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 1: Branch and the White House to the U. S. Court 14 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: of Appeals for the d C Circuit. I've served with 15 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 1: seventeen other judges, each of them a colleague and a friend. 16 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 1: My judicial philosophy is straightforward. A judge must be independent. 17 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,959 Speaker 1: It must interpret the law, not make the law. A 18 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: judge must interpret statutes as written, and a judge must 19 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: interpret the Constitution as written, informed by history and tradition 20 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: and precedent. All Right, that was the President making his 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:33,400 Speaker 1: big announcement about Judge Kavanaugh as his nominee to replace 22 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: Anthony Kennedy on the United States Supreme Court. I don't 23 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: know whether I start with the insanity of the left, 24 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: and let me also start by saying it didn't matter 25 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: who Donald Trump chose. The same comments, the same lies, 26 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: the same hysteria, the same politics. It's playbook one oh one. 27 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: It happens in elections, and it happens with Supreme Court nominees. 28 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: And that is the lies, the slander, the besmirching, the attacks, 29 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,519 Speaker 1: the manipulation of the American people. It is all. This 30 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: is what the left in America is now reduced to. 31 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: It is knee jerk ism. There is no vision, there 32 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: is no insight, there is no plan. There is no 33 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: even discussion about how to make the lives of you, 34 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: the American people better. It's all about destroying any and 35 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 1: all things Donald Trump. It's the media, it's liberal Democrats. 36 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 1: And I've got all the audio that I will play 37 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: in the course of the program that proves everything that 38 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,079 Speaker 1: I am saying is true. You could replace Judge Kavanaugh's 39 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: name with any of the other contenders and you would 40 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: still be getting the same type of liberal leftist hysteria 41 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: and reaction. Just like I have been telling you, is 42 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: the single most important midterm election that we will see 43 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: in our lifetime, because it's about the following. Not only 44 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 1: do they want open borders, to keep Obamacare, to impeach 45 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: Trump but not tell you about it ahead of time. 46 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: Not only do they want their crumbs back, the tax 47 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: cuts back, but they also want to stop elections matter. 48 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 1: Elections have consequences. The President gets to choose the Supreme 49 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: Court justice. It is the Senate's role to advise and consent, 50 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: and by the way, I urge them to do their job. 51 00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: But what you have been hearing and what you will 52 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: hear throughout the show is not them doing their job. 53 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: You have a man of impeccable background, a man with 54 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: impeccable intellectual experience. This is a guy that has now 55 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: served on the US Court of Appeals, which is probably 56 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: the single most influential court short of the Supreme Court, 57 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: the d C Circuit, from two thousand and six until 58 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: the present. He's confirmed fifty seven thirty six. I mean, 59 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: if you look at his family, I actually said last 60 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: night on TV, take a look at that family, because 61 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,840 Speaker 1: They're about to go through absolute hell in terms of 62 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 1: the slander that is now coming their way. The things 63 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: those two little girls will now hear about their father 64 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: are are just. And as I was saying it, it 65 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: had already happened. That's how prepared they were to go 66 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: after anybody. It doesn't matter his background, it doesn't matter 67 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,719 Speaker 1: that he has opinion. They don't care. They don't care 68 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: who they hurt, who they slander, because it's all about 69 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,919 Speaker 1: politics to them. I mean, this is a guy whose 70 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: background He clerked for Anthony Kennedy. He worked in the 71 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: as an attorne and in the Office of Solicitor General. 72 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: He worked in the as an Associate council in the 73 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,479 Speaker 1: office of Ken's starr, the Independent Council Um, and also 74 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: a senior Associate Council to the President, that being George W. 75 00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 1: Bush Um. He has argued cases before the United States 76 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: Supreme Court and other appellate courts. He teaches of places 77 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: like Harvard and Yale and Georgetown America's finest institutions. We 78 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 1: are told I mentioned yesterday, when you when it comes 79 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 1: to the law, there is always nuance you're dealing. In 80 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000 Speaker 1: the case of Judge Brett Kavanaugh with somebody who has 81 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:44,760 Speaker 1: devoted his entire adult life to studying and understanding and 82 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 1: basing rulings on the Constitution. The most important thing I'm 83 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 1: going to tell you today, By the way, the President 84 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: has now just gotten off Air Force one and arrived 85 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: for the NATO summit. Oh and by the way, there 86 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: is he's going to tell NATO allies that they've got 87 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: to pay their fair share, which is the right thing 88 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: to do. Um. He has published articles in Yale Law 89 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 1: Journals and Georgetown Law Journals and Harvard Law Review and 90 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: Notre Dame Law Review, in Minnesota Law Review, and the 91 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: Catholic University Law Review, in Marquette Lawyer. I mean, Washington Post, 92 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal. This is a serious, serious intellectual that 93 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: if you if you just stand back, and I know 94 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: that even on the Republican side that not everybody. It 95 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: was so much lobbying that I know of that was 96 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: going on as it relates to this. Some people wanted Hardeman. Uh, 97 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: some people wanted Barrett. My first choice would have been Barrett, 98 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,360 Speaker 1: that some people wanted, Um, you know, Mike Lee. Mike 99 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: Lee would have been a great choice. Um. But it's 100 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. This is the President's choice. He graduated 101 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: Yale College, Yale Law School, was with the Yale Law Journal, 102 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: and his whole life now has been the law, the Constitution. 103 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: His entire life has been writing, studying, and has written 104 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: opinions now on nearly three cases dealing with some of 105 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: the most complicated complicated issues arising in federal courts. Because 106 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: of being on the DC Circuit Court, the Supreme Court 107 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 1: itself has endorsed his positions on many High States issues. 108 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: I mean, they've been out there eleven by the way 109 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 1: decisions endorsed his positions, advocated his opinions, no small He 110 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,400 Speaker 1: also has argued before the U. S. Supreme Court. But 111 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, let me tell you 112 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: what this battle is really all about. This battle is 113 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: about the left in America. What they cannot get done 114 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: at the ballot box, what they cannot get done legislatively 115 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: because it will be rejected and they will be immediately 116 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: fired if they advocate their true views. It's sort of 117 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: like telling Maxine Waters and others, all right, we hear 118 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: you on impeachment, just stop chanting in peach forty five. 119 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: At Peach forty five, we'll do it. But just you know, stop. 120 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,880 Speaker 1: Keith Ellison already is talking about impeaching Judge Kavanaugh if 121 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: the Democrats get control of the House. I mean, this 122 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: is how the left is going after Pam BONDI uh, 123 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: And they're going after Secretary Nielsen, and Sarah Sanders can't 124 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: go to a restaurant with her kids. And Mitch McConnell 125 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 1: now has had it twice, and Kelly Anne has now 126 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: had it again, and Avanka Trump and Melania Trump Baron 127 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: Trump is twelve years old. Leave the kid alone, and 128 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: the and the granddaughter of the President. Don Junior's four 129 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: year old daughter was threatened by this idiot in Canada 130 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 1: on Twitter that they're going after her. This is the 131 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: environment now that the left has created. You saw this 132 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: last night as as soon as I got off the air. 133 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,599 Speaker 1: You have the center I think for the American politics. 134 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: And we've got the tape. I'll get to it. It's 135 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: just so much to talk about, screeching and screaming. I 136 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: have an entire pile in front of me of insane 137 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: things that the left has said, starting with my favorite 138 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: Nina tok Totemberg, whatever his name is, Totenberg saying that 139 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: this is the end of the world as we know it. 140 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:36,960 Speaker 1: I mean she said it before the President even selected 141 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,560 Speaker 1: Judge Cavanaugh. You can't make this up. You know you 142 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,960 Speaker 1: have party leaders Dick Durban, by the way, this is 143 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 1: great telling people like Tester and Bill Nelson and Claire 144 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: mccaskell and Joe Manchion and Heidi hikim Uh you must 145 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: commit political suicide read state Trump supporting states telling Democratic 146 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:03,719 Speaker 1: senators to give up your career over this um and 147 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: under no circumstances give Judge Kavanaugh the benefit of the doubt. 148 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 1: Terry mccauloff said, the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh will 149 00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: threaten the lives of millions of Americans. No, it won't. 150 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: They don't like that they lost. That's what this is about. 151 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 1: And just like we saw with the Women's March right 152 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,199 Speaker 1: after the president was inaugurated, and just like all the 153 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 1: hope and dreams of every Democrat has been put in 154 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: the hands of Robert Mueller that has come up empty. 155 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: Now too, this is now.

Who killed the center left 160 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: in America? There is no center left. You know, you 161 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: watch college students saying they despised Trump's Supreme Court nominee 162 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: before he announced who it was. Knee jerk hatred that 163 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: they have. You know, my colleague Shannon Bream had to 164 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: cancel her show last night. She was at the steps 165 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 1: of the United States Supreme Court, but because of the 166 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 1: volatile protests, felt so threatened. He tweeted out, very few 167 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: times I felt threatened while out in the field. The 168 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: mood here tonight is very volatile. Law enforcement appears to 169 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: be closing down First Street in front of the Supreme 170 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: Court of the United States. And this is now you 171 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: have a comedian bashing people that believe in life, saying 172 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:51,200 Speaker 1: abortion should be as easy as pushing the on demand button. 173 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you know what, did Bill Clinton say? Abortions 174 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 1: should be legal? But rare a belief that you know, 175 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: it's not a great thing, you know, or if you 176 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,839 Speaker 1: have rape or incestor the mother's life three exceptions. I've 177 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 1: always embraced my whole life because I think there is 178 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: context and nuanced to life, and I think those are 179 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: three examples. All Right, when we get back, I'll tell 180 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: you what I'm going to do before we get to 181 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,480 Speaker 1: the crazies, and I'm gonna play the craziest we got 182 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: it all. The most important thing you need to focus 183 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: on in this whole, this circus that the left is creating, 184 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: what is the judicial philosophy of Judge Kavanaugh. Because rightly 185 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: Republican presidents have messed up Supreme Court choices, everybody should 186 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 1: be skeptical. I think that's actually a good thing. I 187 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 1: will tell you what gives me. I don't know him, 188 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,240 Speaker 1: never talk to him, but I'll tell you what gives 189 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 1: me the most hope about him and what concerns I have, 190 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 1: which is probably the Obamacare statute that he rendered an 191 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: opinion on that would allow it to be attacks. I 192 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 1: didn't like that. But I'm gonna read to you what 193 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: he said about what Judge Scalia stood for as a judge, 194 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: his judicial philosophy. That's next. Al Right, as we roll along, 195 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show one, Sean, all right, Judge Brett Kavanaugh 196 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: for the U. S. Supreme Court. It all comes down 197 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: to judicial philosophy. Let me read you something. This gives 198 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: me the most hope because this is what I'm going 199 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: to read you fits my judicial philosophy. What I want 200 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: in a justice as somebody that believes in coequal branches 201 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 1: of government and separation of powers. And he described how 202 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: like Scalia, this was at George Mason Law School at 203 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: an administrative law conference that he is devoted to textualism 204 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: and originalism. I read this last night. I'm gonna read it, 205 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,679 Speaker 1: you know. I let me read it in full at 206 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: the bottom of the app let me because I want 207 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 1: you to really absorb this because the most important thing 208 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 1: you need to understand in this is what this means 209 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: for potentially forty years. Justice Kennedy was on the Supreme 210 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: Court for thirty years that is way beyond Ronald Reagan's presidency, 211 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: and is this will impact our kids, our grandkids, our 212 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: culture for many generations now to come. Besides sending kids off, 213 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: of president sending kids off and making the difficult decision 214 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: to allow American treasure, our children to go fight a 215 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,360 Speaker 1: war where they're gonna risk their life in their limbs 216 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: because of the president is the commander in chief. This 217 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: is the next single most important thing that a president 218 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:04,880 Speaker 1: us because it will it is part of their legacy, 219 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,240 Speaker 1: and I know we've had I known for many and 220 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: at times myself Anthony Kennedy was a disappointment. And you know, 221 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: just as soon or do I need anything he needs 222 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: say anymore. It was a colossal mistake. But then you 223 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: get people like Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Justice Alito, who I 224 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: think has been phenomenal, Neil Gorsuch. So far it looks 225 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: really good and it's about the future of American culture. 226 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: So I'm what I'm gonna do is I'll take this 227 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,520 Speaker 1: quick break, I'll come back. I'm gonna read what he 228 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: said about judicial philosophy and much more. One Shawn is 229 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 1: on number We got a lot to get to new 230 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 1: Ingrich and Alan Dershwitz and so much more. Alright now 231 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: until the top of the hour, one Shawn, if you 232 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, you know, 233 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: I don't understand. You know, it's so much had a 234 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:06,120 Speaker 1: call like an hour or two ago from a friend 235 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: of mine at Fox and said, by the way, some 236 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 1: guy at BuzzFeed wants to talk to you. I said, okay, 237 00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: I'll talk after the show, my radio show. It doesn't matter. 238 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: They put up an article. There's nothing in this that 239 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: is true, and I'm just trying to understand how the 240 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 1: media works. I've never heard of Stephen Pearlberg of BuzzFeed. 241 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: It's he says, he's a news reporter for them, and 242 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: the headline is Bill Shine White House job isn't good 243 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:37,280 Speaker 1: for Fox News, For Fox Sean Hannity is increasingly estranged 244 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: from Fox News management. And it goes on to talk 245 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 1: about Bill Shine and and how he worked at Fox 246 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 1: and was the president of Fox, etcetera, etcetera, and and 247 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: now I was working in the White House. And then 248 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: it goes on to talk about me and says, but 249 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: according to people familiar with the matter, shines political ascent 250 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: has brought renewed stress and paranoia. Fox News executive ranks 251 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: more than a year blah blah blah blah. If the 252 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: he's out, then it goes on to say about me instead, 253 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 1: about after they hired Bill um and that somehow his 254 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: new job, um, you know, is a problem for Fox. 255 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: A spokesperson for Fox News and Hannity did not return 256 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: requests for coming I said an hour and a half ago, 257 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: I talked to them, and it goes Hannity's level of 258 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 1: freelancing has irked some of at the top Fox News 259 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 1: and its parent company, Century Fox, including Rupert Murdoch's sons 260 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: James and Laughlin, who are increasingly feel like Hannity's gone rogue, 261 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: as one source put it, and that Hannity talks to 262 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 1: the president almost nightly. It goes on to say, and 263 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:56,199 Speaker 1: that I've spent time bad mouthing my network, which I 264 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: love and I put my life's blood into I am 265 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: so wan or that I got hired at Fox twenty 266 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: three years ago. It has been a gift in my life. 267 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: That just isn't true. And Hannity has maintained his leverage, 268 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: uh and his singular importance to the network's conservative audience 269 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 1: by bringing in huge ratings. Here we're number one, thanks 270 00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: to all of you that listen to this program. And uh, 271 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: I just gotta tell you, my relationship has never been 272 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 1: better with the management of Fox, and it's never been 273 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,560 Speaker 1: what they're saying here is not true. Rupert Murdoch has 274 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: been wonderful to me. I don't know James Murdock that well, 275 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 1: but I know Lachlan and he's been wonderful to me. 276 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: So I'm kind of like, why don't you guys talk 277 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: to me? First, maybe not people that must have some agenda. 278 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: And um, I just have a great working relationship with 279 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 1: everybody there except I guess a few people may not 280 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: like me, but that's their problem them. You know, I 281 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:04,800 Speaker 1: assume some people disagree with my opinions. Anyway, onto more 282 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 1: important matters. UM, I want to read because this all 283 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: comes down to one thing, judicial philosophy. What do we 284 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,919 Speaker 1: want as conservatives, What do we believe the role of 285 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: the judiciary is as conservatives Versus what does the left want? 286 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: I love what News said on this program yesterday. If 287 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 1: you just thirty seconds before the president comes out, just 288 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: imagine that it was gonna be Hillary Clinton coming out 289 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: to announce her second nominee to the United States Supreme Court, 290 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: because she would be looking for a judicial activist, someone 291 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 1: that wants to legislate from the bench, someone that doesn't 292 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 1: respect coequal branches, doesn't respect separation of powers. We even 293 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: have some members of the Supreme Court that have gone 294 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 1: as far as to actually cite foreign law to justify 295 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:05,639 Speaker 1: their radical, judicial activist opinions. The people that I have 296 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: most admired in my lifetime on the Supreme Court. If 297 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: you've never taken the time to listen to arguments in 298 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, you get audio in cases you don't 299 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: get you don't that we obviously don't have cameras in 300 00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: the courtroom. There. It is the most fascinating intellectual exercise 301 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: you will ever hear. And for example, somebody might be 302 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 1: arguing a point and they don't get three words out, 303 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 1: and they're being interrupted by a justice and they have 304 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,439 Speaker 1: to be quick and on their feet because all the 305 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,920 Speaker 1: justices have already read their arguments, and they basically then 306 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,359 Speaker 1: have questions about it. And it doesn't go on for 307 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,439 Speaker 1: a very long or extended period of time, but it 308 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: is a powerful back and forth that sometimes takes place. 309 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:51,719 Speaker 1: And Anthony Scalia was well known for his wit, his humor, 310 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 1: his intellectualism, and I love what he once said that, 311 00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,199 Speaker 1: you know, there are times as a judge that you 312 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 1: must do with the demands, not what you personally like. 313 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: So as a conservative, we believe in separation of powers, 314 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 1: coequal branches. We believe in the Constitution, that this is 315 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: a constitutional republic. We don't think judges ought to be 316 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: writing law from the bench to advance a liberal agenda, 317 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,639 Speaker 1: because that's what elections are about, and that's what the 318 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 1: legislative branch of government is about and that's their job. 319 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:35,880 Speaker 1: So what Judge Kavanaugh said in two thousand and six 320 00:21:35,880 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: at this administrative law conference hosted by George Mason Law School, 321 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: Judge Brett Kavanaugh described how, like Justice Scalia, he devoted 322 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: textualism and what is known as originalism and rejects unbridled 323 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: judicial activism. Let me quote him to you, because this 324 00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: gives me the most hope about the president's action, because 325 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: this is my judicial philosophy. This is what I believe 326 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: in what he said, and he's actually said much of this. 327 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:10,160 Speaker 1: Last night he said, quote, what did Justice Scolias stand 328 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,639 Speaker 1: for as a judge? He wrote, It's not complicated, but 329 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: it is profound and worth repeating. Often the judge's job 330 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 1: is to interpret the law, not to make the law 331 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: or make policy. He writes, So read the words or 332 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: he spoke, Read the words of the statute as written, 333 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 1: in other words, the law written by the legislative branch. 334 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 1: Then he writes. Then he said, read the text of 335 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: the Constitution has written mindful of history and tradition. And 336 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: last night he talked and added the word precedence. He said, 337 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: don't make up new constitutional rights. That are not in 338 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 1: the text of the constitution. Don't shy away from enforcing 339 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: constitutional rights that are in the text of the Constitution. 340 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: And he wrote, changing the constitution is for the amendment process. 341 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: We have a constitutional process to change the constitution. It's difficult. 342 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: The bar is high, but it was designed to be high. 343 00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 1: And he writes, changing the constitution, you know, changing policy 344 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: within constitutional bounds. As for the legislative branch, remember that 345 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: the structure of the constitution, the separation of powers and 346 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: federalism co equal branches. In other words, he says, are 347 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: not mere matters of etiquette or architecture, but are at 348 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: least as essential to protecting individual liberty as the individual 349 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: rights that are guaranteed in that text. He goes on, 350 00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,879 Speaker 1: and remember that courts have a critical role when a 351 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: party has standing in enforcing those separation of powers and 352 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: federalism limits. And he says, simple but profound. Now. He 353 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: also talked about in a speech before Catholic University Law 354 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: Review and wrote for them, he laid out his vision 355 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: of the constitutional separation of powers and the role of 356 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: a judge is an umpire in our system, and he said, 357 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 1: at its core, in our separation of power system. To 358 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: be an umpire as a judge means to follow the 359 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: law and not to make or remake the law, and 360 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 1: to be impartial in how we go about doing that 361 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 1: he goes on. A good umpire should not be making 362 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: up the strike zone as he or she goes along. Judges, likewise, 363 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: should not make up the rules as they go along. 364 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 1: We see this in statutory interpretation. For example, a good 365 00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:00,640 Speaker 1: judge sticks to the established text and canons of instruction 366 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: that helped guide us in interpreting ambiguous text. Justice antonin 367 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: Scalia had a profound influence on statutory interpretation, and one 368 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: of the things he has helped us to do is 369 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 1: to narrow the areas of disagreement about how to interpret 370 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 1: the statutes. In other words, what the legislative branch passes 371 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 1: as law. Every judge now seems to start with the 372 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: text of the statute and then he has commented on 373 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,880 Speaker 1: religious liberty issues and consistently. As a background of having 374 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: defended religious freedom and the Second Amendment, he um you 375 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: know argued in in interpreting the Second Amendment Heller versus 376 00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: the District of Columbia, he descended from the courts majority 377 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: by writing the district's ban on the possession of semi 378 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 1: automatic firearms is unconstitutional, and his descent was quoted approvingly 379 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 1: by Justice Thomas and asking whether the challenge law complies 380 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: with the text, history, tradition of the Second Amendment. Also 381 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: on issues of free speech, etcetera, etcetera. The only issue 382 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 1: that the big issue that I seem to have. He's 383 00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: also shown in an area of growth in when he 384 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: worked with ken Star's office. You know, his views on 385 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,919 Speaker 1: as it relates to Clinton and obstruction and and the 386 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: role of independent councils at the time. Now we've got 387 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: a special counsel and it's basically evolved into the same 388 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:35,560 Speaker 1: mess as the independent council law. Um. And then then 389 00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 1: the two thousand and nine reversed themselves and said, no, 390 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't, this is not what I support. So let 391 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 1: me just go to the left for a second here, 392 00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: and we're gonna spend time. We've got new Gingridge coming up. 393 00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 1: We've got Alan Dersho, what's coming up. We've got uh, 394 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,520 Speaker 1: my friend Greg Jared is stopping by Sarah Carter Ali 395 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: North today. We've got a lot of opinions. Let me 396 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: play some of the insanity of Democrats in the Senate, 397 00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: and you know people like Schumer and Warren and Booker 398 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,000 Speaker 1: and Jillibrand and Durban and Feinstein and Blueman, Ball and 399 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 1: the rest of them. Listen, President Trump, with the nomination 400 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 1: of Judge Kavanaugh, has fulfilled or is fulfilling two of 401 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 1: his campaign promises for the first to undo women's reproductive freedom, 402 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,720 Speaker 1: second to undo a c A. And so I will 403 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: oppose him with everything I've got. I want to know 404 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 1: something about this judge's values, and what he's revealed so 405 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: far is not something that reflects America's values. I will 406 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: be saying with even stronger voice, and we as the 407 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,679 Speaker 1: United States Senate, forget partisanship or what have you, a 408 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,680 Speaker 1: respect for the constitution to avoid a constant constitutional crisis. 409 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 1: We cannot let this confirmation process go forward, especially now 410 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: that we have someone uh that has clearly said that 411 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,359 Speaker 1: they have a strong opinion should any of those issues 412 00:27:56,400 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: come before the Supreme Court. Tell your story, are do 413 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:06,600 Speaker 1: not give up with the Senate to the right things 414 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: against Cavanaugh. Deciding between the freedom of women to plan 415 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: their own families and the strong hand of government, women 416 00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: lose in Kavanaugh's courts Kavanaugh's views on the Second Amendment 417 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,560 Speaker 1: or straight out of the gun lobby playbook. Washington, d C, 418 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 1: where he grew up, would be wild West DC if 419 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh had his way. Brett Kavanaugh appears to meet 420 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 1: all President Trump's promises of how his candidate will rule 421 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: on specific issues. His views are outside the mainstream, and 422 00:28:46,960 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 1: there's every reason to believe he would overturn Row. So 423 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: here is a memo to the Parkland students. If you 424 00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 1: care about common sense gun violence protection, Judge Kavanaugh is 425 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: your worst nightmare. My colleagues should be a no on 426 00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:12,720 Speaker 1: this nominee unless Judge Kavanaugh specifically commits that he will 427 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: recuse himself on any issues that involve President Trump's personal 428 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: financial dealings or the special Counsel. There is enormous grounds 429 00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 1: for suspicion right now about this nominee. We cannot go 430 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: back to a time when women are made criminals for 431 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: making a choice about what to do with their own bodies. 432 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: We cannot go back to a time when they can't 433 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,120 Speaker 1: make a decision about their own contraceptive This is about 434 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: replacing the authority of government, putting the government's authority ahead 435 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: of the authority of a woman to make a decision 436 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,320 Speaker 1: about her own body and her future. So if you 437 00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: are a young woman in America, or you care about 438 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 1: a young woman in America, pay attention to this because 439 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: it will forever change your It's all out of the 440 00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,800 Speaker 1: one on one playbook of the Left and the Democrat. 441 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 1: This is a party now that has zero vision to 442 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 1: make our lives better, and they cannot in any way 443 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: except they lost in They are in a complete meltdown. 444 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: They're gonna be in a meltdown in Europe, just like 445 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: they were with Reagan. Now that the president's touchdown in Brussels, 446 00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 1: will go to London and then to Helsinki. These are 447 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,239 Speaker 1: very insane times. Where do you hear the stuff? We're 448 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: gonna play at the top of the next hour. We 449 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: got Greg Jarrett, Sarah Carter, we got New Gingrich, Allen Dershowitz, 450 00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: and Colonel North.

Alright, 454 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,200 Speaker 1: glad you're with a Sean Hannity Show. Right down a 455 00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:59,120 Speaker 1: toll free telephone number. We'd love to hear from you. 456 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,200 Speaker 1: It's eight hundred for one, Shawn, you want to be 457 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,560 Speaker 1: a part of the program. A lot coming up today 458 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:07,959 Speaker 1: new Gingrich Alan Dershowitz joins us today. Uh, Colonel Oliver 459 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: North and let me go back to where we left 460 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 1: off in the last hour, because, as is predictable now, 461 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 1: on every level, the left in this country, whoever the 462 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,840 Speaker 1: president chose, they would have opposed. I told you my 463 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:29,200 Speaker 1: favorite was Nina Totenberg. This is the end of the 464 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: world as we know it, which she said on MPR. 465 00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: She's a Supreme Court reporter and uh, you notorious, you know, 466 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: cheerleader of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And so that's her points, 467 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: end of the world as we know it. Then I 468 00:31:46,160 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: just played you all the senators, they all they could 469 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: have just plugged in the name and they would have 470 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,959 Speaker 1: said the same thing about any choice of Donald Trump. 471 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 1: I'm convinced if Donald Trump gave every man, woman and 472 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 1: child in this country ten million dollars, they would still 473 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:06,240 Speaker 1: hate him. They wake up in the morning and they 474 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,959 Speaker 1: hate him. They they literally live for the next tweet 475 00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 1: so they can be outraged. They live in a constant 476 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 1: state of feigned moral outrage. American people, meanwhile, are laughing. 477 00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 1: They get the president. They've gotten used to the fact 478 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:26,400 Speaker 1: he is not going to ever be an establishment figure. 479 00:32:26,440 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have been elected if he was. And they 480 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,800 Speaker 1: kind of like that he's gonna go tell NATO as 481 00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:34,440 Speaker 1: he has landed in Brussels that they need to pay 482 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: more as it relates to the treaty that we have. 483 00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 1: And they kind of like the fact that, you know, 484 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna go to London and they're gonna be crazy 485 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: leftists that show up. It's very reminiscent of what Reagan 486 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: had when he was president. They didn't like Reagan either. 487 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: They don't like strong presidents. You know, let me just 488 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: play a little bit more of the media and Democrats, 489 00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: you know, let me play them criticizing the president for 490 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 1: he made the decision. They already hated it. You just 491 00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:07,920 Speaker 1: have to remember how extensive the conservative agenda is here 492 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: for for the Supreme Court. It's not just rolling back 493 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: abortion rights. It's not just rolling back gay rights. It's 494 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: not just eliminating um affirmative action. It's not just expanding 495 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: the death penalty. I've never recalled a previous president outsourcing 496 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 1: at least the initial selection process to an outside interest group, 497 00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: the way that this president has to the federalist society. 498 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:35,360 Speaker 1: Woman's freedom to make sensitive healthcare decisions hang in the 499 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 1: balance with this nominee. It is near impossible to imagine 500 00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,040 Speaker 1: that President Trump would select a nominee who is in 501 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,200 Speaker 1: hostile to our health care law and health care for 502 00:33:48,320 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: millions and millions and millions of Americans, who is in 503 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: hostile to a woman's freedom to make our own healthcare decisions. 504 00:33:57,840 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: For the President, it's going to be all about the 505 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: personal connection who he feels comfortable with in the moment 506 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 1: saying he's going to pick the man so as R. E. 507 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,839 Speaker 1: M wants put at the end of the world as 508 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:14,160 Speaker 1: we know it. I've never seen a president United States 509 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:18,759 Speaker 1: in effect make himself a puppet of outside groups and 510 00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:24,000 Speaker 1: choose from a group of right wing fringe ideologues. I 511 00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:28,239 Speaker 1: frankly don't even think we should be considering this nominee alright, So, 512 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:31,279 Speaker 1: but there are others in red states, like I just 513 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:34,799 Speaker 1: saw the John Tester, he's in a big race this 514 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 1: year that he might vote to confirm Kavanaugh. What's Claire 515 00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:42,759 Speaker 1: mccaskell gonna do? She won't win, So are they're gonna 516 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: have an election year conversion. Dick Durbin is telling them 517 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,960 Speaker 1: to give up their careers for this vote. I'd like 518 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 1: to see him do that. And then you've got other 519 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 1: people like Bill Nelson of Florida. Heide High Camp is 520 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: another one mansion of West Virginia. I mean, all of 521 00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 1: these people are in big trouble because this is their 522 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:06,120 Speaker 1: red state Democrats. Now let me play for you. Let's 523 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 1: go to like the media. This is MSNBC. Listen to 524 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:15,160 Speaker 1: this insane conspiracy theory. It is Judge Kavanaugh, who, I believe, 525 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,480 Speaker 1: alone on that list is the only one who's on 526 00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,800 Speaker 1: the record at length on this question of whether a 527 00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:27,640 Speaker 1: president is subject should be subject to criminal investigation, civil lawsuits, indictment, impeachment, 528 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,719 Speaker 1: and all the rest of it. I mean, he he's 529 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,080 Speaker 1: the only one from that list who said a lot 530 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,319 Speaker 1: on the record in print on this matter that the 531 00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:37,239 Speaker 1: White House could have reviewed. And he's the one that 532 00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,759 Speaker 1: they picked. Um. I can't imagine that under any other 533 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,880 Speaker 1: president picking him. You can imagine another Republican president picking 534 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 1: Brett Kavanaugh, but with no other president picking him, would 535 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 1: your first concern be that maybe he was picking him 536 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,759 Speaker 1: because the President thought he wouldn't indict him. Does the 537 00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:56,640 Speaker 1: phrase judge shopping come to mind? And that's where he's 538 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: electing the decisive vote in the court that will rule 539 00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,759 Speaker 1: on whether he has to respond to a subpoena or not. 540 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,839 Speaker 1: He's a near term concerns. The next within this year, 541 00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,560 Speaker 1: he may have to the court may have to rule 542 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,359 Speaker 1: whether he has to be questioned by by Moller. These 543 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:14,799 Speaker 1: are very near term questions. Yeah, off the rails, I know, 544 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,880 Speaker 1: unhinged joining us Now, there's new book is out just 545 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,760 Speaker 1: in two short weeks. It's on Hannity dot com, Amazon 546 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: dot com, and it captures it all. It will be 547 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 1: the definitive book on this Russia hoax, the illicit scheme 548 00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: to clear Hillary Clinton frame Donald Trump. That's Greg Jarrett, 549 00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 1: Fox News legal analysts and investigative reporter. Fox News contributor 550 00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:38,480 Speaker 1: Sarah Carter um, it didn't matter who we picked, it 551 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,640 Speaker 1: was gonna be the same thing. Oh, it absolutely did. 552 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: And for my favorite stupid quote comes from the ever 553 00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,560 Speaker 1: of tuse and slow witted Terry McCullough, former governor of Virginia, 554 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:56,040 Speaker 1: who is a Clinton lackey for decades, and he tweeted 555 00:36:56,040 --> 00:37:01,480 Speaker 1: out that the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh will uh destroy 556 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,960 Speaker 1: the lives of let me get the exact quote here. 557 00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:09,359 Speaker 1: It is will threaten the lives of millions of Americans 558 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: for decades to come. In other words, according to the comic, 559 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,280 Speaker 1: people will die. Look when you when you say something 560 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 1: or tweet something that profoundly stupid, you are only hurting 561 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,880 Speaker 1: your cause, the cause of the Democratic Party. And maybe 562 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: there are some people out there who legitimately, you know, 563 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:32,280 Speaker 1: might object to Kavanaugh, although he is ininently well qualified, 564 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:35,440 Speaker 1: head and shoulders above anybody else on the list of 565 00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:39,399 Speaker 1: twenty five. But but fine, But when you conjure up 566 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 1: the boogeyman like this that people are gonna die, it 567 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,640 Speaker 1: threatens the lives of millions. Uh, you're just self destructing. 568 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,759 Speaker 1: And that's the classic, you know, democratic theme. Now you 569 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,080 Speaker 1: heard it from Chuck Schumer, you played a clip of it, 570 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:56,640 Speaker 1: and you're hearing it from the media. Jeff Tubin over 571 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:02,359 Speaker 1: at CNN Andrew Mitchell at MSNBC. Man, hysteria, abortion will 572 00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:05,920 Speaker 1: be outlawed throughout America. That is not what would happen. 573 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:10,120 Speaker 1: It would revert back to the States. That's only if 574 00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,000 Speaker 1: row were overturned that's correct, it would go back. So 575 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,720 Speaker 1: in other words, would you agree with May? Probably forty 576 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:20,319 Speaker 1: eight states would have abortion legal, maybe all fifty. I 577 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:25,280 Speaker 1: would say forty five at least some with restrictions, others 578 00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,799 Speaker 1: with the rental notification three months. Sure, some of the 579 00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:32,400 Speaker 1: stuff that has actually been upheld into the Casey decision 580 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,120 Speaker 1: planned parenthood versus Casey. So and and Democrats, if any 581 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 1: of them have an ounce of intelligence. No, they're lying 582 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 1: to the American people, but they're assuming that Americans are 583 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,680 Speaker 1: so stupid that they'll buy into their lie. What about 584 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,160 Speaker 1: You're in Washington every day, Sarah, and you're in the 585 00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,960 Speaker 1: halls of Congress every day, and I just really want 586 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:54,000 Speaker 1: to get your reaction and what you hear. We have 587 00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,680 Speaker 1: gotten a little insight lea from Makowski saying, uh, well, 588 00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,879 Speaker 1: there were some people on the president's list I would 589 00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,759 Speaker 1: have had a difficult time supporting, but just based on 590 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 1: what was publicly known about them, we're not dealing with that. 591 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,359 Speaker 1: And Susan Collins seemed to be okay, Rand Paul and 592 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,880 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz. I know they would have picked other people, 593 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,960 Speaker 1: but I can't imagine they would oppose the president on 594 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 1: such an important decision with such a close margin in 595 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,240 Speaker 1: the Senate. I don't it doesn't appear that they will. 596 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: And and like you said earlier, Sean, they're going to 597 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,160 Speaker 1: be a lot of Democrats, I mean, who are hanging 598 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,560 Speaker 1: in the balance come the elections, and they're not gonna wanna, 599 00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,239 Speaker 1: you know, go against the voters, um, who are going 600 00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: to be watching them very carefully in some of these 601 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 1: states that are so important come November. I also think 602 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:42,560 Speaker 1: it's really disingenuous of the Democrats. It goes to show 603 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,399 Speaker 1: you it's like children screaming and crying. You know, they 604 00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 1: didn't get their way. They were going to be angry 605 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,800 Speaker 1: no matter who was picked. And it's disingenuous to the 606 00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:56,080 Speaker 1: American people to put out these overexaggerated lies. Um. Of course, 607 00:39:56,280 --> 00:40:00,320 Speaker 1: the selection of a Supreme Court justice is very important. 608 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 1: I think what they're so frustrated about, so angry about, 609 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 1: is that Kennedy, you know, left that seat open and 610 00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,799 Speaker 1: allowed the President to put someone in his place. Uh, 611 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,160 Speaker 1: they're very angry about that. This is just a reaction 612 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,280 Speaker 1: to that. They're just spewing out lies out of anger. 613 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: And I think that you know, in the end, what 614 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 1: they're most angry about, particularly the Democrats in this situation, 615 00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 1: is the fact that this is solidifying a legacy for 616 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: President Donald Trump. This is part of that legacy that 617 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:37,440 Speaker 1: he will have. And who knows if other seats will 618 00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,600 Speaker 1: become vacant in the future, and that that would be 619 00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,919 Speaker 1: even more extraordinary. Um let me, let me go back 620 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,320 Speaker 1: to last night and it didn't matter. It was basically, 621 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: let's protest fill in the blank. This is Podesta's Center 622 00:40:49,120 --> 00:41:23,880 Speaker 1: for American Progress. Now it's given me a headache and 623 00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,319 Speaker 1: we really have to go back to Hey, hey, ho ho, 624 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 1: I mean it is it's so un original high school cheerily, 625 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,879 Speaker 1: it's the standard high ho ho. Come on, man oh man. 626 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:39,080 Speaker 1: Elections have you know, I don't understand they really want 627 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: a justice that will legislation from the bench. Why would 628 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:44,520 Speaker 1: Congress want to serve their power because they know they'll 629 00:41:44,560 --> 00:41:47,600 Speaker 1: never get it done at the ballot box or legislatively. Absolutely, 630 00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,680 Speaker 1: and they love people like Stephen Bryan, Ruth Bader Ginsburg 631 00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,759 Speaker 1: who do exactly that that they view this Constitution as 632 00:41:55,239 --> 00:41:59,120 Speaker 1: you know, gumby it. It is so flexible and elastic, 633 00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: you can stretch, shouldn't contorted and twisted anyway to do 634 00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,720 Speaker 1: how you have just dated yourself. Gumby was my favorite. 635 00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:11,080 Speaker 1: It was it was sort of one of those claimation things. 636 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,200 Speaker 1: What was the one on Sundays about Um? It was 637 00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 1: a Christian one David and David that was so great. 638 00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,880 Speaker 1: I watched that one, UM, and I bet you Sarah 639 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: Carter has no idea what we're talking about with Gumby. 640 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,600 Speaker 1: She's too young. I didn't know what you were talking 641 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: about on the other day. Um. Well, you know, the 642 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,640 Speaker 1: bottom line here is I don't see with all the noise, 643 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,480 Speaker 1: I don't see where they win. How do they win? 644 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,720 Speaker 1: And John McCain is he seems ill and not gonna 645 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 1: be counted on his vote anyway. Look, I think you 646 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:49,440 Speaker 1: were right when you pointed out that people like Mansion 647 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,760 Speaker 1: and Hyde, Cap and Donne Lee and Tester and others 648 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,879 Speaker 1: are going to be under enormous pressure. These are democrats 649 00:42:57,040 --> 00:43:00,800 Speaker 1: in ultra red states that Trump won by hugh huge margins, 650 00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,360 Speaker 1: and so they will be saying to themselves, shall I 651 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,360 Speaker 1: betray the idiots in my party and vote to help 652 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:13,920 Speaker 1: myself perpetuate my own power? And and they'll always choose 653 00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:17,279 Speaker 1: themselves because that's what Washington politicians. That's not what Dick 654 00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 1: Durban is advising them. You know, Durban's the guy who 655 00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: smeared uh twelve years ago Brett Kavanaugh by calling him 656 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,960 Speaker 1: the Forrest Gump of Republican politics, which only you know, 657 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,600 Speaker 1: goes to prove just how dumb Dick Durban is. We'll 658 00:43:33,600 --> 00:43:35,960 Speaker 1: take a break. Greg's book by the Way out in 659 00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 1: two weeks, The Russia Hoax, the illicit scheme, and by 660 00:43:39,560 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: the way, you want to get your copy as soon 661 00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,600 Speaker 1: as possible to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump. 662 00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: Amazon dot com, Hannity dot Com, or with Sarah Carter 663 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:50,800 Speaker 1: and Greg on the other side, than we've got Alan Dershowitz. 664 00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,719 Speaker 1: We've got new king Ridge Hall coming up right as 665 00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,840 Speaker 1: we continue on Sean Hannity's show, We've got Alan Dershowitz 666 00:43:56,920 --> 00:43:58,640 Speaker 1: at the bottom of this hour. We'll talk to him 667 00:43:58,680 --> 00:44:03,960 Speaker 1: about the president, Supreme Corps choice, criminalization of political differences. Um, 668 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,520 Speaker 1: Why Greg Jarrett, are they now putting off the sentencing 669 00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,919 Speaker 1: of Michael Flynn yet again? And what about Manafort that's 670 00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:16,800 Speaker 1: rotting twenty three hours in solitary confinement having been convicted 671 00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,520 Speaker 1: of nothing and the only charges earlier about a two 672 00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,440 Speaker 1: thousand and five tax case. Well, judged today in in 673 00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:26,920 Speaker 1: Virginia order did he be moved out of the location 674 00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,480 Speaker 1: hundred miles away and into a jail in Alexandria, Virginia 675 00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,439 Speaker 1: so acceding to the request of Manafort's lawyers. Um, why 676 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,440 Speaker 1: is he in jail at all? She should never be 677 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:41,080 Speaker 1: in jail. It's outrageous, it's over the top. This was 678 00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,279 Speaker 1: Amy Berman Jackson, the Washington DC judge who issued that 679 00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 1: particular order, and she's being blatantly unfair. Um, the allegation 680 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: was he was tampering with witnesses. Well, even if he were, 681 00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:59,200 Speaker 1: that's not grounds for putting a nonviolent uh individual suspected 682 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:02,520 Speaker 1: of a tax odd case behind bars. You give an 683 00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,359 Speaker 1: ankle bracelet, confined him to his home. You take away 684 00:45:05,400 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 1: his computers and his cell phone. It's as simple as that. 685 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,680 Speaker 1: And could you could actually turn off all cell service 686 00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:13,359 Speaker 1: in the phone. We have the capability you take all 687 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,319 Speaker 1: these devices away in and out. Yeah, you don't put 688 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,360 Speaker 1: him in solitary confinement in a jail. What do you 689 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 1: think's going on, Sarah Carter as it relates to this case, 690 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,600 Speaker 1: what do you think it is? Honestly, Sean, I mean, 691 00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, I think they're trying to squeeze 692 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:35,040 Speaker 1: Manifort there. Judge ellis my friend. Yeah, yeah, I mean 693 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,680 Speaker 1: it's just there's no doubt here that they're putting all 694 00:45:37,719 --> 00:45:40,360 Speaker 1: the pressure they can. They looked for a very old case. 695 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:43,799 Speaker 1: They brought a case against him that has nothing to 696 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:48,320 Speaker 1: do with Russia collusion or anything connected to Russia and 697 00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,280 Speaker 1: the campaign. Um, they're squeezing him. They're making his life miserable, 698 00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:55,920 Speaker 1: they're making his family's life miserable. And they're just hoping 699 00:45:56,360 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: with all hope that they could either get him to 700 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,319 Speaker 1: sing or like you say it, and the judge said, uh, compose, 701 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:06,560 Speaker 1: compose some kind of song that they can think their 702 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:09,560 Speaker 1: teeth into. And now we know you know Wiseman? Why 703 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 1: you know Andrew Wiseman, who has been notoriously known and 704 00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:16,880 Speaker 1: reprimanded by judges for his behavior in the courtroom, for 705 00:46:17,040 --> 00:46:22,279 Speaker 1: withholding exculpatory evidence, for playing dirty tricks. I mean, I 706 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:24,319 Speaker 1: guess that's why they call him the pit bull. We'll 707 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 1: see he's in trouble now too. So all right, we'll 708 00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,680 Speaker 1: see I gotta run. We'll see you both on TV tonight, 709 00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:34,200 Speaker 1: Sarah Carter, Greg Jarrett. Uh, we'll check in with Professor 710 00:46:34,239 --> 00:46:38,560 Speaker 1: Alan Dershowitz on his take on the President's choice for 711 00:46:38,600 --> 00:46:41,239 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court New Gingri Cholie north All coming up. 712 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:45,520 Speaker 1: Stay with US. President Trump, with the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh, 713 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: has fulfilled or is fulfilling two of his campaign promises, 714 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,600 Speaker 1: first to undo women's reproductive freedom, second to undo a 715 00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,640 Speaker 1: c A. And so I will oppose him with everything 716 00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:00,840 Speaker 1: I've got. I want to know something about this, just values, 717 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:05,400 Speaker 1: and what he's revealed so far is not something that 718 00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 1: reflects America's values. I will be saying with even stronger 719 00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,400 Speaker 1: voice than we as the United States Senate, forget partnisanship 720 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,680 Speaker 1: or what have you of a respect for the Constitution. 721 00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 1: To avoid a constant constitutional crisis, we cannot let this 722 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:24,600 Speaker 1: confirmation process go forward, especially now that we have someone 723 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,280 Speaker 1: that has clearly said that they have a strong opinion 724 00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,240 Speaker 1: should any of those issues come before the Supreme Court. 725 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,880 Speaker 1: Tell your story, be heard, do not give up. We 726 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:40,200 Speaker 1: must convince the Senate to do the right thing as 727 00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:48,720 Speaker 1: then against Cabina, Cava, Gus cabin deciding between the freedom 728 00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,120 Speaker 1: of women to plan their own families and the strong 729 00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:57,879 Speaker 1: hand of government. Women lose in Kavanaugh's courts Kavanaughs views 730 00:47:57,960 --> 00:48:00,680 Speaker 1: on the Second Amendment or straight out of the gun 731 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:05,560 Speaker 1: lobby playbook. Washington, d C, where he grew up, would 732 00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,600 Speaker 1: be wild West DC. If Judge Kavanaugh had his way, 733 00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:13,080 Speaker 1: His views are outside the mainstream, and there's every reason 734 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:17,239 Speaker 1: to believe he would overturn Row. So here is a 735 00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:21,520 Speaker 1: memo to the park Land students. If you care about 736 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:28,200 Speaker 1: common sense gun violence protection, Judge Kavanaugh is your worst nightmare. 737 00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:33,360 Speaker 1: My colleagues should be a note on this nominee. Unless 738 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,960 Speaker 1: Judge Kavanaugh specifically commits that he will recuse himself on 739 00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 1: any issues that involve President Trump's personal financial dealings or 740 00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 1: the special counsel. There is enormous grounds for suspicion right 741 00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: now about this nominee. Ah, the doom, the gloom, the 742 00:48:55,440 --> 00:49:02,440 Speaker 1: predictable talking points, working fearmongering. It's actually pretty sad um anyway, 743 00:49:02,440 --> 00:49:04,759 Speaker 1: glad you with us twenty four now until the top 744 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:08,000 Speaker 1: of the hour. One Shawn is a toe free telephone number. 745 00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:10,720 Speaker 1: Joining us now is somebody that I have a great 746 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,680 Speaker 1: respect for that doesn't always agree with my political views 747 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,480 Speaker 1: in any way, shape, matter, or form um. But he 748 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,239 Speaker 1: has talked at length about how we are now in 749 00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 1: this country criminalizing political differences. He has a brand new 750 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:27,440 Speaker 1: book out that is now costing him dearly at Martha's Vineyard, 751 00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:29,759 Speaker 1: which I'm getting a real kick out of. It's called 752 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 1: The Case against Impeaching Trump. Uh. Alan Dershowitz, Professor Dershowitz 753 00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,479 Speaker 1: from Harvard A Law School is with us. Um, I'm 754 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,480 Speaker 1: sorry that I'm getting amused by the happenings on Martha's Vineyard. 755 00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: But it's actually, on the one hand, it's sad, and 756 00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm sorry you have to go through it. It's very sad. 757 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,160 Speaker 1: On the other hand, I think it is very indicative 758 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:55,360 Speaker 1: of the polarization that has gone way off the rails 759 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:59,399 Speaker 1: in the country. In my opinion, I agree that it's 760 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,240 Speaker 1: you know, it's not a about me on Martha's Vineyard. 761 00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:04,080 Speaker 1: I could do a few of parties. Um, it's about 762 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,480 Speaker 1: how you can't talk to each other. Look, you and 763 00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 1: I disagree about so many things, but we talk to 764 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 1: each other. We have our disagreements, then we shake hands 765 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,440 Speaker 1: and we come back for the next level of agreement. 766 00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:20,280 Speaker 1: To a disagreement. In America, whether it be on college 767 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:24,319 Speaker 1: campuses or when it comes to Supreme Court confirmations, you 768 00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:27,120 Speaker 1: have to pick sides and the other side has no virtues, 769 00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:31,319 Speaker 1: and your side has no vices, and everybody lives in silos, 770 00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: and nobody wants to interact with anybody else. And it's 771 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:38,000 Speaker 1: it's it's a shame. Um. You know, the folks in 772 00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,239 Speaker 1: the viney to learn their lesson, and they're now back 773 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: communicating with me. It's in writing now. Now they're writing 774 00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:46,920 Speaker 1: the emails telling you who I am wrong. Look, that's better. 775 00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:50,000 Speaker 1: And then I'm going to have an event at the 776 00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:53,120 Speaker 1: Big Theater in Martha's Vineard where I challenge anybody to 777 00:50:53,200 --> 00:50:55,680 Speaker 1: come and ask me questions, and I will not leave 778 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,839 Speaker 1: the event until every critical question, every critical statement has 779 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:01,480 Speaker 1: been made. That's what town halls are about. That's what 780 00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,600 Speaker 1: democracy is about. But saying that I don't want to 781 00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: talk to you, you you have nothing to tell me if 782 00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: you're on Trump side, that's the end of the issue. 783 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,480 Speaker 1: That's just not America. It's not the America I grew 784 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,719 Speaker 1: up in where I went to Brooklyn College. We thought 785 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: about everything every issue. I grew up during. McCarthy is 786 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,640 Speaker 1: m one of my One of the professors of Brooklyn 787 00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:24,879 Speaker 1: College who arguments with was Eugene Scalia, Justice Scaliah's father, 788 00:51:25,160 --> 00:51:28,160 Speaker 1: and we remain friends. Uh and I remained friends with 789 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 1: his son. I didn't agree with Justice Scalia about everything 790 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:35,320 Speaker 1: he wrote, but I love Justice Scalia as a person 791 00:51:35,360 --> 00:51:38,720 Speaker 1: and as an individual, and we became good friends over time. 792 00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:40,880 Speaker 1: I think that's the America I want to see us 793 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,560 Speaker 1: get back to you.

Um, it's gotten so bad. Look 802 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: where they did to poor Sarah Huckabee just taking her 803 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:15,000 Speaker 1: family to a restaurant. Look, you know, look at what 804 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 1: Secretary Nielsen had to go through in a restaurant and 805 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:20,520 Speaker 1: then at her home. And it's now also you can 806 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,080 Speaker 1: add to that Pam Bandi and Steve Miller and Kelly 807 00:52:23,120 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: and Conway, and the horrible thing said about the president's 808 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:29,720 Speaker 1: son and grand daughter who's four years old, and Milani 809 00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:33,440 Speaker 1: and Avanca, I don't know.

And I would listen. And I 817 00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,640 Speaker 1: saw his family last night, and I heard his comments 818 00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 1: last night. And I read his comments in two thousand 819 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,239 Speaker 1: and nine in the Minnesota Law Review, and I read 820 00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:08,919 Speaker 1: his comments on originalism in two thousand and six. And 821 00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,319 Speaker 1: this guy is a real scholar. He's not only a 822 00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,640 Speaker 1: real scholar, but he's a scholar with an open mind. 823 00:53:14,719 --> 00:53:17,799 Speaker 1: He's changed his mind about issues. I know because he's 824 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,719 Speaker 1: interacted with the number of my friends and colleagues at 825 00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:22,799 Speaker 1: Harvard Law School. You can imagine they don't all agree 826 00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:25,759 Speaker 1: with him, and people, for the most part admire him 827 00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,120 Speaker 1: and like him. It was an upbedding Today's New York 828 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: Times by a che Lamar who is a very liberal Democrat. 829 00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: He cried when Donald Trump got elected, he was really 830 00:53:34,840 --> 00:53:38,360 Speaker 1: so distraught, and he writes a problem saying, this is 831 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,400 Speaker 1: a brilliant man, an open minded man. I heard the 832 00:53:41,440 --> 00:53:44,280 Speaker 1: same thing from several other colleagues who know him well. 833 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:46,120 Speaker 1: Am I going to agree with all of his opinions? 834 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:50,080 Speaker 1: Of course not. But what's happened to judicial confirmation? Look 835 00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,719 Speaker 1: when Scholia came up for confirmation, there was I think 836 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:58,560 Speaker 1: to one or something like that Ginsburg, something over ninety Brier. 837 00:53:59,360 --> 00:54:03,360 Speaker 1: But now everything is along party lines, and the judiciary 838 00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:06,760 Speaker 1: is becoming very politicized, and the Americans are the poorer 839 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:10,520 Speaker 1: for it. We need an independent judiciary. We need judges 840 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,239 Speaker 1: who are open minded, nonpartisans, who will apply the law 841 00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,920 Speaker 1: fairly the way they see it. Obviously they're going to 842 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:20,960 Speaker 1: be influenced by their ideology, by their background, but nonetheless 843 00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:24,279 Speaker 1: they're doing it honestly in an attempt to implement the 844 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,400 Speaker 1: words of the Constitution. You know, I loved his words 845 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,839 Speaker 1: when he said the job of a judge is not 846 00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:33,040 Speaker 1: to is to interpret the law, not to make law 847 00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:37,120 Speaker 1: or make policy. To read the exact words in a 848 00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:40,880 Speaker 1: statute which is written by the legislative branch has written 849 00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: and read the text of the Constitution has written, mindful 850 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:47,480 Speaker 1: of history and tradition, and don't make up new constitutional 851 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:50,680 Speaker 1: rights not in the text. Don't shy away from enforcing 852 00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,600 Speaker 1: constitutional rights that are in the text. And he said, 853 00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:57,600 Speaker 1: changing the constitutions for the amendment process, changing policy because 854 00:54:57,600 --> 00:55:00,680 Speaker 1: for our legislature. Now I agree, And in my new book, 855 00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,000 Speaker 1: The Case Against the Peaching Trump, I take a very 856 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,400 Speaker 1: literal view of the impeachment criteria. Constitution says to be 857 00:55:06,440 --> 00:55:10,480 Speaker 1: impeached and removed, you have to be found guilty of treason, bribery, 858 00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:14,319 Speaker 1: or other high crimes or misdemeanors. And some of the 859 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:16,440 Speaker 1: people on the left are saying, well, that doesn't mean 860 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 1: when it says even if there's um, you know, kind 861 00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:22,640 Speaker 1: of maladministration, that's good enough. Or uh, if he does 862 00:55:22,800 --> 00:55:25,239 Speaker 1: something bad an office that we don't approve of, that's 863 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:27,959 Speaker 1: bad enough. But that's not what the Constitution says. Constitution says, 864 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:30,440 Speaker 1: you be two thirds vote, you can't change that. Why 865 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:34,440 Speaker 1: should you be able to change bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. Treason, 866 00:55:34,719 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 1: You can't change it. It's in the text of the Constitution. 867 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,040 Speaker 1: If you don't like it. To men the Constitution. But 868 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,160 Speaker 1: sometimes being a literalist gives you more rights because you 869 00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,880 Speaker 1: literally have to apply the rights in the Constitution. And 870 00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:49,560 Speaker 1: impeachment is a good example to lay it out. As 871 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,200 Speaker 1: a liberal, why I want to see the Constitution adhere 872 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:56,560 Speaker 1: to literally and very much in tune with what the 873 00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:59,959 Speaker 1: frame's had in mind. Staliah once said, a good job 874 00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 1: must conclude as the law demands in spite of it, 875 00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:10,759 Speaker 1: even if they personally do not like the decision. I 876 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 1: thought that was pretty powerful. Well, you know, he once 877 00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:17,440 Speaker 1: came to my class and we talked together for two hours, 878 00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,600 Speaker 1: and I put to him a bunch of quick cases 879 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 1: where he had come to conclusions that I didn't agree with. 880 00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:23,960 Speaker 1: And he said, in the end, you know, some of 881 00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:27,320 Speaker 1: these conclusions he didn't agree with um, but he had 882 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:31,440 Speaker 1: to apply the law. Now, look, every judge deviates from that. 883 00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:35,240 Speaker 1: Bush versus Gore was not the ideal example of nonpartisan 884 00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:38,120 Speaker 1: law enforcement. You could take different views on that. But 885 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: when you get a case that goes along party lines, 886 00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: you really have to wonder. But you know, nine of 887 00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 1: the cases in the Supreme Court are not decided to 888 00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: long party lines. You get Ginsburg joining with with Roberts 889 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:56,319 Speaker 1: and you get Kagan uh joining with Thomas. So it 890 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:58,600 Speaker 1: depends on the nature of the case. But look, we 891 00:56:58,680 --> 00:57:01,400 Speaker 1: all ought to have an open mind. We are to listen. 892 00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: I haven't made up my mind about Kavanaugh. I want 893 00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 1: to hear what he says. I want to read more 894 00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:08,200 Speaker 1: of what he's written. I, you know, like some of 895 00:57:08,239 --> 00:57:10,000 Speaker 1: the things he said, and I don't like other things 896 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 1: he said. I want to hear what he believes about precedent. 897 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,560 Speaker 1: I don't care what he cares about a particular case 898 00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,880 Speaker 1: because when he's on the bench thirty years from now, 899 00:57:17,160 --> 00:57:19,360 Speaker 1: those aren't going to be He's actually written about precedent 900 00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:23,080 Speaker 1: about our grandchildren. Yeah, he said that the Constitution has written, 901 00:57:23,160 --> 00:57:25,560 Speaker 1: the Statute has written. But he also said mindful of 902 00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:28,120 Speaker 1: history and tradition. I took that to mean precedence. I 903 00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:29,920 Speaker 1: did too. I did too, and I think that's right. 904 00:57:29,960 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: And I think he will abide by precedent. He's not 905 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,400 Speaker 1: going to overrule ro versus way. He may not expand it, 906 00:57:36,520 --> 00:57:39,240 Speaker 1: not extend it. He may look at it in a 907 00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,920 Speaker 1: narrow way, but he's not going to Professor. This is 908 00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:45,520 Speaker 1: a great question. Well, everybody fearmongers on Roe v. Wade. 909 00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:47,800 Speaker 1: I would argue to you. And I think a lot 910 00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,400 Speaker 1: of people think Roe v. Wade that ends abortion in America. 911 00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:53,080 Speaker 1: It does not. It would send it back to the states, 912 00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:55,240 Speaker 1: And I would argue, I think I could make a 913 00:57:55,280 --> 00:58:00,280 Speaker 1: strong case that in at least forty eight states, maybe 914 00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 1: more abortion would be legal. There would be different variations, 915 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, in terms of restrictions or parental notification and such. 916 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,240 Speaker 1: But UH, and states like New York and California and 917 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:13,560 Speaker 1: so many other Blue states, they would be the most 918 00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:16,480 Speaker 1: liberal laws in the country. Would not. Abortion is not 919 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:22,360 Speaker 1: at risk y. It is reported that you is reported 920 00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:25,720 Speaker 1: that you supported Judge Barracks in the Seventh Circuit. Now, 921 00:58:25,800 --> 00:58:29,080 Speaker 1: she has said that she believes the fetus is an 922 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 1: innocent human being that deserves protection. Did that mean that 923 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:36,920 Speaker 1: she would not allow New York to permit abortion, because 924 00:58:36,920 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 1: if you? Because she answered that too. Though she said 925 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:44,000 Speaker 1: that she she liked Scalia because she wrote extensively on originalism. 926 00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:47,800 Speaker 1: Uh was a believer in that her own personal views 927 00:58:48,080 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 1: will not impact her decisions, and she was very clear 928 00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: about that. And we must follow what the law and 929 00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:56,800 Speaker 1: the Constitution demands. But the Constitution is doesn't mention abortion 930 00:58:56,840 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 1: at all. But it does say it can't be deprived 931 00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,920 Speaker 1: of life without due process of law. And there are 932 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,200 Speaker 1: some right to lifers who say there should be a 933 00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:09,000 Speaker 1: constitutional right to life and a state can't take that 934 00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:12,000 Speaker 1: away from me. There are three positions on abortion, the 935 00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,480 Speaker 1: ro Versus way, privacy, Trump's the right to life. There 936 00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:17,360 Speaker 1: is the position that says leave it to the states. 937 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 1: Then there's the third position, not articulated by very many, 938 00:59:20,880 --> 00:59:23,360 Speaker 1: which says that the fetus has a right that can't 939 00:59:23,360 --> 00:59:25,840 Speaker 1: be taken away by the state. And what I would 940 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 1: love to hear it because I think that Barrett may 941 00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:31,439 Speaker 1: come up again for consideration Justice Ginsberg or anybody else, 942 00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:34,439 Speaker 1: I'd love to hear her views on that issue. I 943 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:37,600 Speaker 1: I totally agree with you, and I think you know this. Also, 944 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,880 Speaker 1: remember when we had John Kennedy was running and he 945 00:59:39,920 --> 00:59:44,560 Speaker 1: gave his speech on Catholicism. I mean, the greatest ever given, 946 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:46,760 Speaker 1: one of the greatest speeches ever given. A right. Your 947 00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:49,160 Speaker 1: book is phenomenal. By the way we put it up 948 00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,040 Speaker 1: on Hannity dot com. It's called the Case against Impeaching Trump. 949 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,040 Speaker 1: Professor Alan Dershowitz, who has been with us and sadly 950 00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 1: he has been targeted and full don't talk to Alan Dershowitz, 951 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:05,080 Speaker 1: which is ridiculous. We'll take a quick break, we'll come back, 952 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 1: all right. As we continue, Professor Allen Dershowitz at Harvard 953 01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:10,120 Speaker 1: is with us. He is brand new book. It's on 954 01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com, Amazon dot com, bookstores everywhere. Um, we 955 01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:15,280 Speaker 1: only have about a minute and a half. Let me 956 01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: give it to you and and just give us more information. 957 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:21,200 Speaker 1: I've been reading your book and I'm absolutely loving it 958 01:00:21,360 --> 01:00:24,320 Speaker 1: because it makes me think more than anything else. And 959 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,880 Speaker 1: you talk about a purity in terms of we have 960 01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 1: all got to be civil libertarians, especially with spies and 961 01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:34,560 Speaker 1: campaigns and lying de FISA court judges. That really worries me. 962 01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:37,480 Speaker 1: I think that's right, and I think that civil liberties 963 01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,360 Speaker 1: today may be used to protect the President Trump. Tomorrow, 964 01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:43,160 Speaker 1: they're going to be used to protect the democratic president 965 01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,640 Speaker 1: and the rest of us. And that's what I'm so 966 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,800 Speaker 1: concerned about, the civil liberties of President Trump and the 967 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:51,520 Speaker 1: constitutional rights, because if you can take away the constitutional 968 01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,200 Speaker 1: rights of the president, you can take away the constitutional 969 01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,960 Speaker 1: rights of everybody. And you know, as I've said, if 970 01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,640 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton had been elected and the Republicans were trying 971 01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,760 Speaker 1: to each our locker up I would have written the 972 01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:03,360 Speaker 1: same book that just would have had a different title, 973 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: would have said the case against impeaching Quinn. You know, 974 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:07,840 Speaker 1: I look at every fact, I look at all the cases. 975 01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 1: But I'm trying to be a neutral civil libertarian. I'm 976 01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:13,480 Speaker 1: not trying to be a partisan defender of anybody. And 977 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 1: I wish more Democrats and more Republicans would approach these 978 01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:20,920 Speaker 1: problems in a neutral, objective way. We can't criminalize difference. 979 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,400 Speaker 1: As Paul Manafort has been convicted of nothing, it's a 980 01:01:23,440 --> 01:01:26,760 Speaker 1: two thousand five tax case, and twenty three hours a 981 01:01:26,840 --> 01:01:29,240 Speaker 1: day now for a month he's been locked up. That 982 01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 1: that is not justice to me. I agree with you, 983 01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,120 Speaker 1: and Judge Llis agrees with you, and he said yes 984 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,600 Speaker 1: that you know, he can't strike it down as illegal, 985 01:01:36,680 --> 01:01:39,400 Speaker 1: but he was very upset about special Counsel and about 986 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:42,760 Speaker 1: how how putting the screws to him to make him sing, 987 01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 1: not only sing, but composed. That opposed to me, sounds 988 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 1: like subordinate subornation of perjury. And so they can impeach 989 01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,320 Speaker 1: or prosecute Trump. That's their goal. That's scary, that's that's 990 01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,800 Speaker 1: not America. To me, it's not no. I agree, we 991 01:01:55,880 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 1: have to have neutral standards. The case against impeaching Trump, 992 01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Professor Alan Dershowitt, Thank you, And then I speak for everyone, 993 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 1: thank you for everything you've done to protect our nation's 994 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:12,480 Speaker 1: great legal heritage. In keeping with President Reagan's legacy, I 995 01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:17,560 Speaker 1: do not ask about a nominee's personal opinions. What matters 996 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: is not a judge's political views, but whether they can 997 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:25,400 Speaker 1: set aside those views to do what the law and 998 01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 1: the Constitution require. I am pleased to say that I 999 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:35,520 Speaker 1: have found, without doubt such a person. Tonight, it is 1000 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,800 Speaker 1: my honor and privilege to announce that I will nominate 1001 01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 1: Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme charm All right, 1002 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 1: that was from last night the President Judge Kavanaugh s 1003 01:02:48,640 --> 01:02:51,240 Speaker 1: elected to be the next Supreme Court justice. The left, 1004 01:02:51,240 --> 01:02:56,840 Speaker 1: of course going crazy, and even people Conservatives, Republicans all 1005 01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,880 Speaker 1: that had advocated for other people um are weighing in 1006 01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,520 Speaker 1: left and right. We do have a lot of background 1007 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:08,280 Speaker 1: about his judicial philosophy, as I have been saying all day, 1008 01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,720 Speaker 1: which really is at the heart of all of this. 1009 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Here to weigh in is former Speaker of the House, 1010 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:16,520 Speaker 1: author of the best seller Trump's America, The Truth about 1011 01:03:16,560 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: Our Nation's great comeback. Um another massive runaway bestseller New 1012 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: King Rich. I want to ask you this. You know, 1013 01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 1: I actually quoted you last night on the five I 1014 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:29,720 Speaker 1: was hosting, and then on on Hannity, And I think that, 1015 01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 1: you know, if every American before the president spoke, just 1016 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:35,960 Speaker 1: imagine that Hillary was about to come out and make 1017 01:03:36,040 --> 01:03:38,840 Speaker 1: her second choice for the U. S. Supreme Court, how 1018 01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,360 Speaker 1: would we feel? But yet you still get a whining 1019 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,600 Speaker 1: and the complaining, and and there is a natural doubt, 1020 01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,960 Speaker 1: you know, is he really gonna be in the mold 1021 01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:50,680 Speaker 1: of Alito Scalian Thomas everybody. I think that's a legitimate 1022 01:03:50,800 --> 01:03:54,480 Speaker 1: fear based on past failures. Sure. Look, I think first 1023 01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:57,800 Speaker 1: of all, we have so often had our hopes broken 1024 01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 1: by people like Suitor who turned out to be such 1025 01:04:00,680 --> 01:04:04,080 Speaker 1: total disasters that it's reasonable to be anxiety. Right. On 1026 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:06,120 Speaker 1: the other hand, this is a guy who has been 1027 01:04:06,200 --> 01:04:08,760 Speaker 1: on the court now for twelve years, which, considering these 1028 01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 1: fifty one shows who there are fifty three rather so 1029 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:14,440 Speaker 1: he got on He got on the Appeals Court at 1030 01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: forty one years of age. He has authored three hundred opinions. 1031 01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 1: Eleven of his descents have been picked up by the 1032 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:25,520 Speaker 1: Supreme court who sided with him and overrode the liberal 1033 01:04:25,520 --> 01:04:29,440 Speaker 1: majority on his court. Uh. He is very clearly on 1034 01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 1: most issues, UH, deeply committed to a constitutional reading of 1035 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:38,040 Speaker 1: the law. UH and to being bound by the founding fathers. 1036 01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 1: And in that sense, he's very much I think like Celia. Uh. 1037 01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:46,720 Speaker 1: In fact, he was described by a liberal professor who 1038 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,680 Speaker 1: wrote a very positive obed saying that he thought he 1039 01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:52,440 Speaker 1: should be approved even though this is a pro Clinton, 1040 01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: liberal democrat but who knows in person. Said look, he said, 1041 01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,960 Speaker 1: this is this guy is like Celia, but even better educated. 1042 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,920 Speaker 1: And he said, you're gonna be very impressed with That's 1043 01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:05,440 Speaker 1: a that's a hard mountain of climb, because Kalia was 1044 01:05:05,920 --> 01:05:09,800 Speaker 1: a genius. Um. Yeah. The thing that well, we don't 1045 01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:12,000 Speaker 1: just say that. We were very fortunate close and I 1046 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:15,040 Speaker 1: were actually in the White House hatting dinner with Vice 1047 01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:17,920 Speaker 1: President pens and that watching the introduction, and then we 1048 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,520 Speaker 1: went to a little reception for the Kavanaugh was including 1049 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,040 Speaker 1: a chance to talk at linked with his father, who's 1050 01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,240 Speaker 1: a very charming man, uh and who talked about how 1051 01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,440 Speaker 1: how true real a all was that you said, you know, 1052 01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: his wife used to come home and she would but 1053 01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,200 Speaker 1: here's here's Uh. Now, Judge kavanaught about eleven or twelve 1054 01:05:35,280 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 1: years of age, and over dinner, she's practicing her closing 1055 01:05:39,320 --> 01:05:43,280 Speaker 1: argument as as a prosecutor now, uh, to convict some guy. 1056 01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: And it's his job at eleven and twelve years of 1057 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,160 Speaker 1: age to take a part of arguments. And he said, 1058 01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:50,919 Speaker 1: that's where his legal training began, was with mom sitting 1059 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,280 Speaker 1: there at the kitchen table. Uh. And they're just a 1060 01:05:53,360 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 1: charming family. And I think, you know, devout Catholics, active 1061 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:02,520 Speaker 1: in in coaching his two daughters and men basketball, active 1062 01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:06,400 Speaker 1: in helping serve food for the poor. I'm gonna will 1063 01:06:06,440 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 1: be fascinating to watch the Left try to demonize him, 1064 01:06:09,360 --> 01:06:12,560 Speaker 1: because I think he's actually a very decent human being. 1065 01:06:12,920 --> 01:06:15,000 Speaker 1: You know, it's interesting you say that, because last night 1066 01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:16,840 Speaker 1: I said, oh, by the way, you see that family, 1067 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:19,120 Speaker 1: and I put up the family on the screen. I said, 1068 01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,280 Speaker 1: they were about to absolutely smear, slander, and try to 1069 01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:26,560 Speaker 1: destroy that man and his family. And by the way, 1070 01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:29,240 Speaker 1: it was happening even as I said it. Uh. With 1071 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 1: the in terms of the Democrats and and their reaction, 1072 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,320 Speaker 1: I'll tell you where I get the most hope in 1073 01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:39,560 Speaker 1: terms of what his judicial philosophy is and we do 1074 01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:42,680 Speaker 1: have a lot in terms of his background, and you 1075 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:46,080 Speaker 1: know he has weighed in on on really important issues 1076 01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:50,520 Speaker 1: including religious liberty and separation of powers and freedom of 1077 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,080 Speaker 1: speech and the Second Amendment UM and you rightly point 1078 01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:56,960 Speaker 1: out raining in the administrative state of Obama. That was 1079 01:06:57,000 --> 01:06:59,440 Speaker 1: another big one America's interest. But where I get the 1080 01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,800 Speaker 1: most hope, Mr. Speaker is when he said, well, what 1081 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:05,360 Speaker 1: did Justice Scalia stand for as a judge? This is 1082 01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,640 Speaker 1: back in two thousand and six. He wrote, it's not 1083 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,240 Speaker 1: He said this in a law review article. He goes, 1084 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:14,280 Speaker 1: it's not complicated, but it is profound and worth repeating. Often, 1085 01:07:14,800 --> 01:07:17,280 Speaker 1: the judges job is to interpret the law, not to 1086 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:20,800 Speaker 1: make the law or make policy. So read the words 1087 01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:24,080 Speaker 1: of the statute as written. Read the text of the 1088 01:07:24,160 --> 01:07:27,880 Speaker 1: Constitution has written, mindful of history and tradition. Don't shy 1089 01:07:27,960 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: away from enforcing constitutional rights that are in the text 1090 01:07:32,480 --> 01:07:36,480 Speaker 1: of the Constitution. Changing the constitution is for the amendment process. 1091 01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:42,160 Speaker 1: Changing policy within constitutional bounds is for the legislatures. And 1092 01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:46,360 Speaker 1: remember that the structure structure of the Constitution, separation of powers, 1093 01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:51,000 Speaker 1: federalism are not mere matters of etiquette or architecture. What 1094 01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:55,200 Speaker 1: are at least as essential to protecting individual liberty as 1095 01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: the individual rights guaranteed in the text. And remember the 1096 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 1: courts have a critical role when a party has standing 1097 01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 1: and enforcing those separation of powers and federalism limits. Simple 1098 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 1: but profound. And he said more on that, and that 1099 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:13,400 Speaker 1: is the judicial philosophy I would be looking for, you know, 1100 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:17,240 Speaker 1: Larry aren the the President. Hillsdale said to me last night, 1101 01:08:18,040 --> 01:08:22,679 Speaker 1: we don't emphasize often enough that the only document directly 1102 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: voted on by the American people was the Constitution, that 1103 01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:29,200 Speaker 1: it was adopted in popular votes in every single state, 1104 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:32,799 Speaker 1: and that it represented the will of the people. And therefore, 1105 01:08:32,920 --> 01:08:35,960 Speaker 1: when you start to capriciously change it, it's not just 1106 01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:39,599 Speaker 1: the fifty people who went to Philadelphia and wrote it, 1107 01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 1: but it's the thousands and thousands of citizens who who 1108 01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,040 Speaker 1: knew that they were voting for a contract, that this 1109 01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,960 Speaker 1: was why they were willing to become part of the 1110 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,000 Speaker 1: United States. And I think that you have with somebody 1111 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:55,519 Speaker 1: like Judge Kavanaugh, a person who feels deeply the burden 1112 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:58,400 Speaker 1: of history and the burden of America, and the sense 1113 01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:02,400 Speaker 1: that he is there to continue and to carry on 1114 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,000 Speaker 1: a tradition, not to destroy it. And replaces. What do 1115 01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:11,439 Speaker 1: you make of the predictable knee jerk reaction of the left. 1116 01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you saw the screaming and the yelling, and 1117 01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:19,200 Speaker 1: the hysteria and the fearmongering. That again, it's all predictable. 1118 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,639 Speaker 1: But I seem to sense, uh, even a greater level 1119 01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:27,439 Speaker 1: of hatred and intensity in the in the era of Trump. 1120 01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,080 Speaker 1: I mean that may even be higher than what they 1121 01:09:30,080 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 1: did to Robert Bourke or Clarence Thomas. Well, it is, 1122 01:09:34,439 --> 01:09:36,479 Speaker 1: I think, and it isn't a sense first of all, 1123 01:09:36,920 --> 01:09:39,360 Speaker 1: that it starts the idea, I know, I hate him. 1124 01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:44,880 Speaker 1: Who is he? Yeah, exactly. By the way, think whoever 1125 01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:47,400 Speaker 1: Trump nominates, I'm gonna hate, whether it's a man or 1126 01:09:47,439 --> 01:09:49,200 Speaker 1: a woman. Just let me know the name, so I'll 1127 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:51,519 Speaker 1: know who I'm hating. Uh. And you had a lot 1128 01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,560 Speaker 1: of as you and I were kidding yesterday, the wonderful 1129 01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,320 Speaker 1: scene of the students who were asked what they thought 1130 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 1: of Trump's now they said, that person's really a racist. 1131 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,960 Speaker 1: He can tell and he had not in anybody yet. 1132 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: But they had already been taught. They've been pre programmed, 1133 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:12,280 Speaker 1: uh like like badly trained parents to automatically say anti 1134 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:16,120 Speaker 1: Trump things without any regard for the facts. So, but 1135 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: here's a sense I had that maybe I'm being too optimistic. 1136 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:22,880 Speaker 1: But it's my nature as an American to be an optimist. Um, 1137 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:26,360 Speaker 1: it's it's my nature of having all four grandparents from 1138 01:10:26,400 --> 01:10:28,920 Speaker 1: Ireland not to be one but go ahead, Well, but 1139 01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:31,320 Speaker 1: they got here, Yeah they did. But I'm just saying it. 1140 01:10:31,720 --> 01:10:34,400 Speaker 1: In life got better, you're always expecting the worst. Trust me, 1141 01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,880 Speaker 1: that's closed as attitude. Don't say things are going well 1142 01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:44,200 Speaker 1: exactly exactly, don't tempt fate exactly. But there's my point. 1143 01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:48,200 Speaker 1: I think for average, normal, everyday Americans, they look at 1144 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,960 Speaker 1: this very pleasant guy with this very nice family. They 1145 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:57,360 Speaker 1: look at his very reasonable tone and his reasoned, intelligent articulation, 1146 01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,200 Speaker 1: and when they see people screaming on the other side, uh, 1147 01:11:01,240 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 1: it diminishes the impact and the effectiveness of the radically extremists. 1148 01:11:05,640 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 1: And I think that's really what's happening. I want to say, 1149 01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:11,120 Speaker 1: the most amazing single statement on the left in the 1150 01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:15,160 Speaker 1: last couple of days was the Democratic with Dick Durban saying, look, 1151 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,280 Speaker 1: if we have to sacrifice a couple of red state 1152 01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:21,360 Speaker 1: senators to stop this, uh, then I'm willing to sacrifice 1153 01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 1: from the First of all, if you the whip, you're 1154 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: not supposed to go around sacrificing your members. No, it's 1155 01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 1: really a very bad idea. No, I actually think it's 1156 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,200 Speaker 1: a good idea. I think he's right on that. I 1157 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:35,400 Speaker 1: think they should. Um. Look, Nina Totenberg actually said these words, 1158 01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:39,760 Speaker 1: it's the end of the world as we know it. 1159 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it doesn't. And by the way, she said 1160 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,680 Speaker 1: that before he was selected. By the way, that that's 1161 01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:49,280 Speaker 1: almost two years late, because actually elections, that's exactly right, 1162 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 1: the end of Nina Totenberg's world. But it makes you 1163 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,240 Speaker 1: a little about the speed with which they learned at 1164 01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:58,439 Speaker 1: her institution. It took almost an extra year and a half. Um. So, 1165 01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,800 Speaker 1: I guess the question is I mean, I've listened to 1166 01:12:01,920 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 1: Ram Paul. He says he has an open mind. Ted 1167 01:12:04,080 --> 01:12:08,000 Speaker 1: Cruz has an open mind. Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski 1168 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,360 Speaker 1: I would argue that they're probably the four people that 1169 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:13,280 Speaker 1: you've got to pay the most attention to. Um. I 1170 01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,920 Speaker 1: look at this guy's background and record in judicial philosophy. 1171 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,479 Speaker 1: I'm a trust but verified kind of person. That's just 1172 01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,320 Speaker 1: my nature. Um. I've read everything I could possibly read 1173 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,879 Speaker 1: about him and his opinions. I didn't like the healthcare opinion. 1174 01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 1: That bothers me because even though Obamacare was sold as 1175 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 1: not being attacks, he kind of thread the need a 1176 01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:37,240 Speaker 1: little bit like John Roberts and made the argument that 1177 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,920 Speaker 1: if it's attacks, then it's legitimate and actually paved a 1178 01:12:39,960 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: way for it to continue. Does that trouble you, well 1179 01:12:42,600 --> 01:12:44,360 Speaker 1: a little? But I tell when Roberts that it was 1180 01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:47,360 Speaker 1: just made no sense at all. Although it was a 1181 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:50,840 Speaker 1: little bit in the tradition of John Marshall, whose sidestepped 1182 01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Jefferson very cleverly in Madison versus Marbury in a way 1183 01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,960 Speaker 1: that is often misrepresented in law school, that was a 1184 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,680 Speaker 1: sign of weakness on the court, not strength. Uh. And 1185 01:13:00,720 --> 01:13:02,599 Speaker 1: I thought I was with Roberts. You had the same 1186 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 1: kind of thing that he was playing a game that 1187 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:08,640 Speaker 1: made no sense in the long run. Um. But I 1188 01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:11,320 Speaker 1: think having having said that, if you take a guy 1189 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 1: who's had three specific uh papers that he's written in 1190 01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 1: the majority, you have somebody who's had eleven de cents 1191 01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:24,679 Speaker 1: where the Supreme Court sided with him against the Appeals court, 1192 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:28,880 Speaker 1: you have, uh, you know what is now all of 1193 01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:34,120 Speaker 1: these years on the court. Um, that's you know, you've 1194 01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:37,760 Speaker 1: got to find something somewhere. Um by just thinking, I 1195 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,040 Speaker 1: mean not nobody's going to be perfect, but he has 1196 01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 1: got to be in the high nineties in terms of impact. 1197 01:13:43,960 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 1: And frankly, to have somebody at this level of intellectual 1198 01:13:47,560 --> 01:13:50,680 Speaker 1: caliber arguing our side and being in the room with 1199 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:55,599 Speaker 1: the other injustices will combine with garsis Is having joined them, 1200 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:59,639 Speaker 1: I think we'll move the court substantially towards a more 1201 01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:03,320 Speaker 1: cons institutional distposition just because of the integrity and the 1202 01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,640 Speaker 1: weight of their their research and their reasoning. So I 1203 01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,839 Speaker 1: think he will be a major step. As the President 1204 01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,439 Speaker 1: said last night, what I thought was, I do think 1205 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: Trump has probably handled this as well as anything in 1206 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:18,200 Speaker 1: his presidency so far on the way he consulted and 1207 01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,920 Speaker 1: then his speech last night. Uh and and he was 1208 01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:24,400 Speaker 1: quite clear about that this is this is about returning 1209 01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,400 Speaker 1: to the Constitution, and I have no doubt that Kevin 1210 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,200 Speaker 1: All is going to be extraordinarily dedicated to it. That 1211 01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:32,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you and I are always going to agree 1212 01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:35,439 Speaker 1: with his interpretation, but we're always going to know he 1213 01:14:35,520 --> 01:14:38,880 Speaker 1: did it based on having studied the Constitution. We'll take 1214 01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,120 Speaker 1: a break, we'll have more with New Gingrich on the 1215 01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:43,800 Speaker 1: other side, and as we continued in Ingrich is with 1216 01:14:43,920 --> 01:14:47,120 Speaker 1: us his best selling book New York Times bestseller, Trump's America, 1217 01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:50,120 Speaker 1: The Truth about our Nation's Great Comeback. One of the 1218 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,519 Speaker 1: things that really stands out to me is I can't 1219 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,280 Speaker 1: think of, and you're a better historian than I am, 1220 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: of a time that there was a presidential candidate that 1221 01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:02,080 Speaker 1: actually te cleographed and gave us the names of potential 1222 01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:06,519 Speaker 1: Supreme Court justices beforehand. And just like Jerusalem is now 1223 01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,439 Speaker 1: the capital of Israel, just like the Iranian deal is dead, 1224 01:15:09,520 --> 01:15:12,400 Speaker 1: just like the tax cuts were past, and just like 1225 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:17,080 Speaker 1: the wall is being built, this president is seems as 1226 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:22,880 Speaker 1: absolutely committed to keeping promises more than anybody I've seen. Yeah, 1227 01:15:22,920 --> 01:15:24,960 Speaker 1: I mean, the amazing thing about Trump is that he 1228 01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,400 Speaker 1: on little things, he's just amazingly all over the place, 1229 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: and you have no way of predicting what he'll do 1230 01:15:30,720 --> 01:15:35,200 Speaker 1: on big things. He has a steadiness and a consistency 1231 01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:39,280 Speaker 1: that is absolutely historic, and that is in fact changing history. Uh. 1232 01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:41,080 Speaker 1: And it's a it's it's sort of amazing to see 1233 01:15:41,120 --> 01:15:44,720 Speaker 1: the same guy have both these sets of characteristics. But 1234 01:15:44,760 --> 01:15:49,519 Speaker 1: there's there's no question the decision I remember last night, 1235 01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:52,479 Speaker 1: have beef chance to talk to UH the Attorney General 1236 01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:55,400 Speaker 1: Jeff Sessions about this, because he was in the room 1237 01:15:56,080 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: with Clifton Me and UH a number of other people, UH, 1238 01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 1: including UH Leonard Leo. When we got to the discussion 1239 01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:10,360 Speaker 1: about having a list, and Trump was paying attention and said, well, 1240 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 1: you you really think this would be helpful? All of 1241 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:15,680 Speaker 1: us said, look, you know, people need something to get 1242 01:16:15,680 --> 01:16:19,080 Speaker 1: a grip on how serious you are and how real 1243 01:16:19,200 --> 01:16:21,680 Speaker 1: you are, and the right kind of list with the 1244 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: right kind of names send a huge signal, which of 1245 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,479 Speaker 1: course it did. UM. And then Trump has been very 1246 01:16:27,560 --> 01:16:30,120 Speaker 1: faithful to following through on that. And of course the 1247 01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,040 Speaker 1: job he has done, not just on the Supreme Court, 1248 01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:34,679 Speaker 1: but you look at what he's done is and my 1249 01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,439 Speaker 1: my newsletter today both at English Productions and at Fox 1250 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:41,000 Speaker 1: News dot Com, I talked about how much change he's 1251 01:16:41,040 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 1: made below the Supreme Court. And of course what he's 1252 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,880 Speaker 1: doing is he's building a farm team for the future. UH. 1253 01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:50,320 Speaker 1: And he is really looking at younger and younger people, 1254 01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 1: having somebody UM that that is like UM the Kavanaugh 1255 01:16:57,400 --> 01:17:01,920 Speaker 1: who is in his early fifties. Kavanaugh, he serves UM 1256 01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,559 Speaker 1: as long as Justice Ginsburg will be on the court 1257 01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:11,519 Speaker 1: in two thousand and fifty. Mm hmm, that's amazing. That's amazing. 1258 01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:13,720 Speaker 1: I mean and and by the way, elections matter. But 1259 01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 1: I've gotta let you go. Um. Mr Speaker, it's always 1260 01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:18,240 Speaker 1: a pleasure to have you. I think we have you 1261 01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,400 Speaker 1: on TV tonight. We look forward to seeing you. I'll 1262 01:17:20,439 --> 01:17:22,600 Speaker 1: be with you there all right, Mr Speaker, thanks for 1263 01:17:22,640 --> 01:17:25,240 Speaker 1: being with us. By the way, Amazon dot Com bookstores everywhere. 1264 01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:28,519 Speaker 1: Trump's America, the truth about our nation's great comeback, which 1265 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:31,760 Speaker 1: the mainstream media ignores, will take a break. We'll come 1266 01:17:31,760 --> 01:17:34,760 Speaker 1: back a lot more coverage and Ali North as we 1267 01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 1: continue the Shawn Hannity Show. We had many hours of 1268 01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:44,080 Speaker 1: productive conversations. Uh. These are complicated issues, but we made 1269 01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:47,839 Speaker 1: progress on almost all of the central issues. UH. Some places, 1270 01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: it's a great deal of progress. Other places, there's still 1271 01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:54,320 Speaker 1: more work to be done. We now have a meeting 1272 01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:57,439 Speaker 1: if I'm with John, set up for July twelve, that 1273 01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,439 Speaker 1: could move by one day or two, uh, where there 1274 01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:04,320 Speaker 1: will be discussions between the folks responsible for the repatriation 1275 01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,840 Speaker 1: and remains will take place at the border, and that 1276 01:18:06,920 --> 01:18:10,200 Speaker 1: process will begin to develop over the days that follow. 1277 01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 1: So very productive conversation about the the process by which 1278 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,479 Speaker 1: we will deliver on the commitments that were made in 1279 01:18:16,520 --> 01:18:21,439 Speaker 1: the Singapore summit. The North Treeans also confirmed the missile 1280 01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:25,000 Speaker 1: engine testing facility. We talked about what the modalities would 1281 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,559 Speaker 1: look like for for that destruction of that facility as well, 1282 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: and so some progress there as well. UH. And then 1283 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: we have laid out a path for further negotiations at 1284 01:18:36,160 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: the working level so that the two teams can get 1285 01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:42,280 Speaker 1: together and continue these discussions. We talked about what the 1286 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,080 Speaker 1: North Koreans are continuing to do and how it's the 1287 01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,400 Speaker 1: case we can get our arms around achieving what Chairman 1288 01:18:48,439 --> 01:18:50,720 Speaker 1: Kim and President Trump both agreed to, which was the 1289 01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:55,080 Speaker 1: complete denuclearization of North Korea. UH. There's no no one 1290 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:57,519 Speaker 1: walked away from that. They're still equally committed. Chairman Kim 1291 01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:00,000 Speaker 1: is still committed. Might a chance to speak to presid 1292 01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:03,160 Speaker 1: the Trump this morning. No, my counterparts book with Chairman Kim. 1293 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:06,360 Speaker 1: During the course of our negotiators as well, UH lately 1294 01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:11,880 Speaker 1: had productive good faith negotiations. Are you any close into 1295 01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,880 Speaker 1: a sense of a timeline or denuclearization and aline declaration 1296 01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 1: or their movements invest instruction. I'm not going to get 1297 01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,040 Speaker 1: into the details of our conversations. But we spent a 1298 01:19:21,040 --> 01:19:23,240 Speaker 1: good deal of time talking about each of those two things, 1299 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:25,640 Speaker 1: and I think we've made progress in every element of 1300 01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,400 Speaker 1: our discussion. The idea of a nuclear showdown with North 1301 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,320 Speaker 1: Korea keeps you up at night. I would recommend deleting 1302 01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 1: your Twitter app. He has not merely being cavalier with 1303 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,080 Speaker 1: a threat about nuclear war. He's being cavalier in a 1304 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,600 Speaker 1: way that it makes him seem demented. These are the 1305 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,760 Speaker 1: messages from a person who is not well, from a 1306 01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:44,840 Speaker 1: leader who is not fit for office. President Trump is 1307 01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:50,080 Speaker 1: goading Kim Jong un to test a nuclear missile again, 1308 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:55,080 Speaker 1: to prove its reliability, to show him wrong. And fundamentally, 1309 01:19:55,120 --> 01:19:58,320 Speaker 1: I think it comes across as two kindergarteners who are 1310 01:19:58,479 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 1: jostling each other, except that each has nuclear weapons. True 1311 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 1: late after Americans die, after that nuclear holocaust, or after 1312 01:20:08,479 --> 01:20:11,200 Speaker 1: a million dies, and that's where we are. This is 1313 01:20:11,200 --> 01:20:15,080 Speaker 1: not an exaggerations. Comments about nuclear weapons have experts worried 1314 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:18,840 Speaker 1: he could literally inadvertently trigger a catastrophe. Darmn Kim and 1315 01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,640 Speaker 1: I just signed a joint statement in which he reaffirms 1316 01:20:21,680 --> 01:20:27,760 Speaker 1: his unwavering commitment to complete de nuclearization of the Korean peninsula. 1317 01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: He was very firm, and the fact that he wants 1318 01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,960 Speaker 1: to do this, I think he might want to do 1319 01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:36,000 Speaker 1: this as much or even more than me, because they 1320 01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 1: see a very bright future for North Korea. The sanctions 1321 01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:43,000 Speaker 1: will come off when we are sure that the nukes 1322 01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:45,479 Speaker 1: are no longer a factor. I noticed that some of 1323 01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:49,360 Speaker 1: the people are saying that the president has agreed to meet. 1324 01:20:49,640 --> 01:20:52,040 Speaker 1: He has given up so much. I gave up nothing. 1325 01:20:52,040 --> 01:20:55,160 Speaker 1: I'm here historic day. Let's just I think most people 1326 01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:58,280 Speaker 1: like me want to know what was going on in 1327 01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:00,240 Speaker 1: that room one on one. Well, the big thing is, 1328 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 1: this is now my twenty fifth hour of being up 1329 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,320 Speaker 1: and negotiating, and we've been negotiating very hard. This is 1330 01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:14,360 Speaker 1: about the complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the entire peninsula. 1331 01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,920 Speaker 1: So without that, we could not have had a deal. 1332 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:19,280 Speaker 1: I mean, one thing up, we want to de nuke 1333 01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,440 Speaker 1: the entire peninsula. We want to de nuke that whole situation. 1334 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:26,479 Speaker 1: That is a hotbed. And you know what's been happening 1335 01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,519 Speaker 1: for years and nobody did anything about it, and you 1336 01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,720 Speaker 1: have to. We have no choice. We had to. The 1337 01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 1: relationship was really good, the you know it built and 1338 01:21:36,960 --> 01:21:40,400 Speaker 1: I talked about early on in the relationship and the feeling, well, 1339 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:42,639 Speaker 1: we had a very good feel right from the beginning, 1340 01:21:43,360 --> 01:21:45,800 Speaker 1: and we were able to get something very important done. 1341 01:21:46,360 --> 01:21:50,000 Speaker 1: And actually something's happened after that was sign shown where 1342 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:54,200 Speaker 1: we're getting rid of certain missile research areas, certain missile 1343 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,880 Speaker 1: testing sites, and they getting rid of a lot. Did 1344 01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:59,120 Speaker 1: you talk about a trip to the United States? Did 1345 01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,679 Speaker 1: you talk about I think at the right time, he'll 1346 01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:05,439 Speaker 1: be absolutely all right. There you have it. That was 1347 01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,680 Speaker 1: part of my interview with the President in Singapore immediately 1348 01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:11,120 Speaker 1: after meeting with Kim Jong un, And of course your 1349 01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:15,200 Speaker 1: media's predictable reaction, and what do we get. We got 1350 01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:18,559 Speaker 1: American hostages home, we got one missile launch site now 1351 01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:22,719 Speaker 1: being dismantled. We got talk of d nuclearization, we got 1352 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:26,000 Speaker 1: the remains of Americans going back to the Korean War 1353 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,879 Speaker 1: now being returned. And Mike Pompei was saying, don't believe 1354 01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,160 Speaker 1: what you're hearing. That this is going well, but it's 1355 01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:36,759 Speaker 1: gonna be a step by step process and we certainly 1356 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:40,559 Speaker 1: don't have missiles being fired over Japan anymore. We talk 1357 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:42,679 Speaker 1: about all of this now through the prison the President 1358 01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:45,000 Speaker 1: on his way to Brussels with a NATO summer where 1359 01:22:45,000 --> 01:22:47,080 Speaker 1: he's going to demand that they step up and pay 1360 01:22:47,160 --> 01:22:49,559 Speaker 1: their fair share, that America is not the piggy bank 1361 01:22:49,600 --> 01:22:52,479 Speaker 1: of the world. And then of course off to London 1362 01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: where we expect protests, just kind of like when Reagan 1363 01:22:55,040 --> 01:22:58,840 Speaker 1: was president, um, massive protests, and then off to hell 1364 01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 1: sinking to meet with Putin here to win on all 1365 01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:03,120 Speaker 1: of this. There was a thing or two about Warren, 1366 01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:06,880 Speaker 1: a thing or two about foreign policy. Is Colonel Oliver North, 1367 01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:09,719 Speaker 1: how are you, sir? I'm glad to do with your brother. 1368 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,080 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good last night, I'm getting in 1369 01:23:13,120 --> 01:23:15,240 Speaker 1: better shape every day. I'm trying. I'm more. I'm just 1370 01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:17,599 Speaker 1: trying to do what you do every day. Hey, um, 1371 01:23:17,680 --> 01:23:22,160 Speaker 1: let's start, let's start. I try. I cannot understand America 1372 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:25,200 Speaker 1: didn't drop a hundred and fifty billion dollars on the 1373 01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:28,160 Speaker 1: lap of Kim Jong un. And we've made all those 1374 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:33,599 Speaker 1: progress and all the naysayers never thought little rocket man 1375 01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:37,800 Speaker 1: fasted um fire and fury, uh my buttons bigger than 1376 01:23:37,840 --> 01:23:40,680 Speaker 1: yours and works would ever get us there. And some 1377 01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:44,000 Speaker 1: people saying, oh, he's gonna blow up our relationship with NATO, 1378 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:47,840 Speaker 1: and why is he meeting with putin your reactions. Well, 1379 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:51,680 Speaker 1: let's let's start with we're Secretary Pompeo was first in 1380 01:23:51,760 --> 01:23:54,360 Speaker 1: this trip, and he went straight to point. And now, 1381 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,000 Speaker 1: of course he's made a bunch of other stops, were 1382 01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:59,640 Speaker 1: assuring the Japanese and South Koreans, and going by Afghanistan. 1383 01:23:59,720 --> 01:24:01,840 Speaker 1: Just to mind everybody out there, we still care about 1384 01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,280 Speaker 1: the outcome. Ah, if you look at what's happened in 1385 01:24:05,320 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: North Korea, add to your list that their test site 1386 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,360 Speaker 1: has been destroyed, whether intentionally by or by the earthquake 1387 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: that came first. All of that is gone. And so 1388 01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:20,439 Speaker 1: in order for him to continue testing nuclear weapons, he's 1389 01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:22,479 Speaker 1: going to have to rebuild that, and we can certainly 1390 01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 1: see that from the overhead. What bothers me most about 1391 01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:28,479 Speaker 1: this whole experience that we've been going through the last 1392 01:24:28,479 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 1: several days is the idea that somebody put out the 1393 01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:35,080 Speaker 1: word that the North Koreans are still doing bad things 1394 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 1: now that it's trying to jeopardize the whole process by saying, look, 1395 01:24:38,479 --> 01:24:41,479 Speaker 1: he's he's going to get away with it. The president's 1396 01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,000 Speaker 1: off in his stance, or the US is having the 1397 01:24:44,040 --> 01:24:47,240 Speaker 1: wool pulled over our eyes. I think what's really of 1398 01:24:47,320 --> 01:24:49,320 Speaker 1: concern to me is not that we're having the wool 1399 01:24:49,320 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 1: pulled over our eyes, because that's not going to happen. 1400 01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:54,439 Speaker 1: This is not Obama, certainly not Clinton. And when you 1401 01:24:54,479 --> 01:24:57,960 Speaker 1: look at what what's transpired, you somebody inside the U. S. 1402 01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,560 Speaker 1: Intelligence Services leaked that information, which I believe first to 1403 01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:04,519 Speaker 1: put in the Washington Compost, has now been spread all 1404 01:25:04,560 --> 01:25:06,599 Speaker 1: over the place. And as you've played some of these 1405 01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,559 Speaker 1: cuts from these these talking heads and the idiot that works, 1406 01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: they're a little promulgating the same idea somewhere inside the 1407 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,519 Speaker 1: Intelligence Services or the State Department. That information came out. 1408 01:25:19,200 --> 01:25:21,720 Speaker 1: Whether it's right or wrong, it's wrong for it to 1409 01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:24,640 Speaker 1: come out. I don't believe it's correct. I think that 1410 01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:27,360 Speaker 1: what you've got is an effort to sabotage this whole thing, 1411 01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,840 Speaker 1: just like we've seen with so many of this president's initiatives. 1412 01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:32,880 Speaker 1: On top of all the other things that you went 1413 01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,439 Speaker 1: through a my adding to it, the destruction of nuclear 1414 01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:39,120 Speaker 1: test site. The Alanian scientists who were making all this 1415 01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:42,240 Speaker 1: happen with the money that was provided by the United 1416 01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:46,960 Speaker 1: States under Mr Obama. All of those scientists, except for 1417 01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:50,840 Speaker 1: a small hintful, have I've seen it come home. They're back, 1418 01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:52,920 Speaker 1: They've gone back to Tehran. In other words, they're not 1419 01:25:53,000 --> 01:25:56,960 Speaker 1: benefiting in their nuclear program by paying for the North 1420 01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,639 Speaker 1: Korean testing and research and development. That's a very very 1421 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,960 Speaker 1: positive thing. It also means that things are hurting in 1422 01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:08,800 Speaker 1: Tehran as a consequence of this. What the Iranians are 1423 01:26:08,800 --> 01:26:11,400 Speaker 1: gonna do is they're gonna look very carefully at how 1424 01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:14,840 Speaker 1: we start denuclearizing, the steps that have to be taken, 1425 01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:16,920 Speaker 1: and they're going to benefit from that because they'll know 1426 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,920 Speaker 1: better how to hide things. Much bigger country, much less 1427 01:26:19,920 --> 01:26:22,400 Speaker 1: information that we're getting from there right now than we 1428 01:26:22,439 --> 01:26:25,439 Speaker 1: are from North Korea. How does this relate to NATO? 1429 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,240 Speaker 1: The NATO nations have been traditionally, not just in the 1430 01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:31,559 Speaker 1: last five years, not in the last five weeks, because 1431 01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,679 Speaker 1: in the last fifteen years, since the wall came down, 1432 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,479 Speaker 1: they've been getting away with less and less of a 1433 01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:42,040 Speaker 1: commitment to the North Atlantic Treaty organization. Poland, Poland has 1434 01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,240 Speaker 1: made more of a commitment than most of the countries 1435 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:47,439 Speaker 1: have been since way before Poland. If you look at 1436 01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:50,719 Speaker 1: the Baltic countries, all of them have been under paying 1437 01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:53,559 Speaker 1: and yet they've reaped the benefits of American ships being 1438 01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:56,519 Speaker 1: in the area, American troops being in their countries helping 1439 01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 1: them prepare, and all of that is a major sign 1440 01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:02,400 Speaker 1: of improve from what we've had. Let me ask you 1441 01:27:02,439 --> 01:27:05,280 Speaker 1: this because I'm watching the news and all right, so 1442 01:27:05,320 --> 01:27:08,760 Speaker 1: the President should you know, landed already in Belgium for 1443 01:27:08,800 --> 01:27:11,840 Speaker 1: this whole thing, and he's gonna take one more. He 1444 01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,000 Speaker 1: took a shot at NATO before he left on Twitter 1445 01:27:14,160 --> 01:27:16,360 Speaker 1: that the American people were not the world's piggy bank. 1446 01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:18,720 Speaker 1: And that's all true, but we don't mind doing our 1447 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:23,200 Speaker 1: part and and helping. And you know, so there's gonna 1448 01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:27,320 Speaker 1: be protests which we saw during the Reagan years in Europe, 1449 01:27:27,320 --> 01:27:29,639 Speaker 1: which are gonna be big and allowed, and the left 1450 01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:32,240 Speaker 1: and the media in this country you're gonna go nuts. Um, 1451 01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:35,280 Speaker 1: I actually view that as American strength. Then you've got 1452 01:27:35,280 --> 01:27:39,439 Speaker 1: this whole battle going on with Teresa May and her time. 1453 01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,320 Speaker 1: You know, Boris Johnson looks like he's making the move 1454 01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:44,880 Speaker 1: now that he wants to be Prime minister. So the 1455 01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,439 Speaker 1: President's going into London in the middle of that change. 1456 01:27:48,520 --> 01:27:52,080 Speaker 1: There's there's a bunch of very unhappy members of various 1457 01:27:52,120 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 1: governments around, some of them pretty far left in the 1458 01:27:54,720 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 1: case of Great Britain, pretty far right. In the case 1459 01:27:57,560 --> 01:28:00,080 Speaker 1: of point in North Korea, when has to remember with 1460 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,880 Speaker 1: a ken maybe in charge, but it's very likely that 1461 01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:10,439 Speaker 1: he's got a very powerful poltara proletariat excuse me, uh, 1462 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:13,599 Speaker 1: the folks that are running the country from inside. They 1463 01:28:13,600 --> 01:28:16,960 Speaker 1: stand to lose a lot without this nuclear weapons program. 1464 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 1: And so if his pollet guro is telling him how 1465 01:28:20,880 --> 01:28:23,559 Speaker 1: far he can go, he doesn't have full control over 1466 01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,720 Speaker 1: what's happened. And my guess is that some of what 1467 01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:29,599 Speaker 1: you're seeing experience when with the Secretary of State making 1468 01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:33,240 Speaker 1: the visit. In the case of the European countries, they 1469 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:35,880 Speaker 1: have been they've been getting away with, well, not murder, 1470 01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:39,519 Speaker 1: but with essentially under paying for years on what's been 1471 01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,080 Speaker 1: going on out there. You cannot fix those kinds of 1472 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:46,000 Speaker 1: problems overnight. You can't fix the nuclearization overnight. You're not 1473 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 1: going to get the Iranians to cooperate overnight. But what 1474 01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,400 Speaker 1: you have to have is a strong nat of that 1475 01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,599 Speaker 1: can save for example, as the savers are being rattled 1476 01:28:53,960 --> 01:28:57,680 Speaker 1: in Tehran, if you close the Straits of Hormuz or 1477 01:28:57,720 --> 01:29:00,840 Speaker 1: you mind them, that is an act of war, and 1478 01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,880 Speaker 1: that's kind of. I think what NATO is If the 1479 01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,680 Speaker 1: Iranians do that, they're cutting off the lifeblood of the 1480 01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:09,559 Speaker 1: world's economy, which is oil and energy. It to me 1481 01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,080 Speaker 1: that would be a moment where the Iranians will then 1482 01:29:12,120 --> 01:29:14,720 Speaker 1: pay the ultimate price. Well it is, That's why I'm 1483 01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:16,800 Speaker 1: saying it's but NATO has to stand up and say 1484 01:29:16,840 --> 01:29:20,040 Speaker 1: that's an active war open streets. Okay, is the president 1485 01:29:20,080 --> 01:29:23,320 Speaker 1: going to align NATO? Um it? See it. Look, on 1486 01:29:23,320 --> 01:29:26,400 Speaker 1: the one hand, they seem to just everything. They're all 1487 01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:30,080 Speaker 1: reacting to President Trump. This president now is beginning to 1488 01:29:30,160 --> 01:29:34,560 Speaker 1: show America's strength on the world stage. They don't particularly 1489 01:29:34,800 --> 01:29:38,040 Speaker 1: like it. I think they preferred Barack Obama and his 1490 01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:42,600 Speaker 1: policy of appeasement. And you know, so they're reacting, but 1491 01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:45,400 Speaker 1: it's in America's best interest and that's and you know, 1492 01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,400 Speaker 1: one of the things that everybody, you and I have 1493 01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 1: not forgotten, but too many of our listeners have, the 1494 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:54,719 Speaker 1: folks that have been making the decisions for the last 1495 01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:57,360 Speaker 1: eight years plus because many of them are still in 1496 01:29:57,400 --> 01:30:00,880 Speaker 1: the government. The High States loved it when Barack Obama 1497 01:30:01,040 --> 01:30:04,559 Speaker 1: ran around the world apologizing for America's strength and power 1498 01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:08,040 Speaker 1: in our economy. Now that the American economy is booming. 1499 01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,000 Speaker 1: You see things like the Chinese the value of Chinese 1500 01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:15,839 Speaker 1: currencies dropping like a stone. You see what's happening with Brexit, 1501 01:30:16,120 --> 01:30:19,280 Speaker 1: and you see Teresa May is getting nervous and nervous 1502 01:30:19,320 --> 01:30:22,680 Speaker 1: meliy said Nickers and or not. And she's got conservative 1503 01:30:22,680 --> 01:30:25,720 Speaker 1: members of her coalition saying we're walking out because you're 1504 01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:28,560 Speaker 1: getting too soft on these guys in Brussels, meaning the 1505 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:32,240 Speaker 1: European Union. Look at the European Union is made up 1506 01:30:32,240 --> 01:30:35,920 Speaker 1: of globalists. The people who govern and they think that 1507 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:39,400 Speaker 1: they are governing all of Europe really aren't. All they 1508 01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 1: can do is set kinds of policies that were the 1509 01:30:41,920 --> 01:30:45,559 Speaker 1: very kinds of things that caused brix Brexit to begin with. Right, right, 1510 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:48,439 Speaker 1: get go. Why why did the British vote in favor 1511 01:30:48,439 --> 01:30:51,960 Speaker 1: of Brexit on the referendum because in favor of getting 1512 01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,000 Speaker 1: out of the Europeanian Because it was a massive intrusion 1513 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,880 Speaker 1: on the sovereignty of the British Isles. That's what it 1514 01:30:57,920 --> 01:31:00,200 Speaker 1: was all about. They don't believe in sovereign They since 1515 01:31:00,240 --> 01:31:02,240 Speaker 1: that's why we take so much grief about building a 1516 01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:05,000 Speaker 1: wall to protect our borders. Look at the only other 1517 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:08,799 Speaker 1: country that's got a wall that protects the entire country Israel. 1518 01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:14,000 Speaker 1: Israel is getting yeah, of course it works, and they're 1519 01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:17,600 Speaker 1: getting beaten all over the place. Where people are advocating BDS, 1520 01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:21,880 Speaker 1: I mean boycott, divest and sanction. They'd love to be 1521 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:24,320 Speaker 1: able to do that with us, not the Israelis. I'm 1522 01:31:24,320 --> 01:31:27,519 Speaker 1: talking about the European Union. I mean, it's the fact 1523 01:31:27,600 --> 01:31:30,320 Speaker 1: of the matter is this is the most powerful country 1524 01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,000 Speaker 1: on the planet Earth. It needs to be to protect 1525 01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,320 Speaker 1: our freedoms. That's why I'm the president of the n 1526 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:37,680 Speaker 1: r A. That's why I'm out trying to raise all 1527 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm asking for the n r A.

Listen, 1534 01:31:57,560 --> 01:31:59,920 Speaker 1: if I didn't have protesters that the places where I 1535 01:32:00,080 --> 01:32:08,160 Speaker 1: pier out there, you know, it's all it's happening to 1536 01:32:08,200 --> 01:32:10,479 Speaker 1: other people.
