But more importantly, as as 18 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: I laid out on TV last night, as I've been 19 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: laying out in the last hour, this is not just 20 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: a Donald Trump problem. You know, you have people like 21 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: Peter Struck, you know, a guy that says to his 22 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: girlfriend lover Lisa Page, when she asked if if Donald 23 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: Trump could ever get elected in twenty sixteen, We're not 24 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: gonna let that happen.

You know, these these are mere process crimes. 43 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: You're not talking about dangerous drug deal or cartel members 44 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: or mobsters.

Seohan? Thank 54 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: you for having me on the show again. Um, you 55 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: know your case is almost you became almost like the 56 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: canary in the coal mine. I know you probably don't 57 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: like to think of your life like that, but it 58 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: kind of has been. You know, the example of where 59 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: this when you have politicized a politicized justice system, a duel, 60 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: just a system unequal justice under the law. You know, 61 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: what happened to you is just basically a preview of 62 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: coming attractions. Well, that's that's exactly right, Sean, and I 63 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: talk about that in the book. I mean, the deep 64 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: state is not just a danger to people like President 65 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: Trump or those who support him actively like I did. 66 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: It's a danger to Americans everywhere. And in the book 67 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: I talk about that because I was able the book. 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: I wrote the book, including the first year of the 69 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: Biden administration, because I thought it was important to carry 70 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: the messages of the abuses of the representation of the 71 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: justice system not just through the end of the Trump term, 72 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: but into what happens if he's not president and if 73 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: the Left does take power. And it's a scary thought 74 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: because it's a two tiered justice system that you're seeing 75 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 1: now is exactly a consequence of the dangers of the 76 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: deief state, the Muller investigation, you know, And it's a legitimacy, 77 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: it's abusive tactics, you know, it's it's obsession with getting 78 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. They weren't obsessed with me. I was a 79 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: means to the end, and in the book, I walked 80 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 1: through the details of what Mueller was trying to do 81 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: not just to me, but to get me to give 82 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: them Donald Trump. He had Andrew Weisman had his theories 83 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: on Trump's guilt as far as being connected to Russier. 84 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: They were crazy theories. He had no motive, he had 85 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: no rig to Russia. The Wiseman just made them up. 86 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: And I walked through all of that in detail from 87 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 1: my fifty hours of conversations with White that was first 88 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 1: to have with Weisman. And what you're seeing now with 89 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 1: the raid on the president's home is the natural extension 90 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 1: of where they're going, um, you know, because they can't 91 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: afford to have of Donald Trump come back. So your 92 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: your history is pretty amazing actually when you look at 93 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: your background, and I mean you were brought in as 94 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: a convention coordinator for Gerald Ford that was being challenged 95 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: in nineteen seventy six by Ronald Reagan. Um, you worked 96 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 1: for George Herbert Walker Bush at eighty eight, you work 97 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: for Bob dole M. You've worked for a lot of 98 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: You worked on a lot of political or presidential campaigns 99 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 1: at a very high level. And then in the offseason, 100 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: if you will, you did what people like John Podesta do. 101 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: Correct me, if I'm wrong, or James Carvill do, or 102 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,280 Speaker 1: or any one of these these former Clinton nights do. 103 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,920 Speaker 1: And that is you bring your political expertise and you're 104 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: brought into advice on foreign countries, political campaigns or other work. 105 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 1: Is that true? I did. I did campaigns all around 106 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: the world, but usually I would include in my team 107 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:47,119 Speaker 1: active Democrats as well consultants, because when you're across the ocean, 108 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're a Republican or Democrat, and 109 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 1: there are, believe it or not, some democratic consultants who 110 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: care about our country and care about the foreign policy 111 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 1: of other countries as relates to our country. Um and 112 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: and so we In the case of Ukraine, which became 113 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: sort of the focus because of its linkage to Russia, 114 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: I had a team of Democrats who were very experienced, 115 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: very seasoned, and were very involved. None of them were 116 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: even looked at by Weisser because they couldn't help him 117 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: get Donald Trump. A big part of the charges against 118 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: you are FARA violations, making false statements, tax issues, etc. Etc. 119 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: Rather than go through the minutia of that, people can 120 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: read about that in the book, I want to talk 121 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: more about the actual dealings that you had with Muller's team, 122 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: and more specifically, you know, the New York Times labeled 123 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: Andrew Weissman Muller's pit poll and you dealt with him directly. 124 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: Everything that I read about this guy just reeked of 125 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: prosecutorial abuse. To me. Sidney Powell wrote a whole book 126 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: about it, Licensed to Lie In, and he was prominently featured. 127 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: Tell us about that experience. Now, this is when you 128 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: are already arrested, you're in prison, you're in isolation. You know, 129 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: you spent nine months in solitary confinement, and they start 130 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 1: talking to you to try to get you to cut 131 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: a deal with them. Correct. Correct? They they thought when 132 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: I said I didn't want to go to trial a 133 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: second time because I could not get a fair trial, 134 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: the jury was going to be a composed of people 135 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: from the Washington DC. Two weeks after the four week 136 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: trial I had in Virginia, there was not one person 137 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: who was objecting about Paul Vanaport. And by the way, 138 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 1: one percentage of the vote that Donald Trump cat in 139 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,840 Speaker 1: DC exactly and then exactly so I knew I couldn't 140 00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:42,319 Speaker 1: get a fair trial. And I go through some of 141 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,439 Speaker 1: the reasons for that, included the questionnaire that we asked. 142 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Normally you have thirty forty people at the most be 143 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: voud dear to be a juror. I had one hundred 144 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: and twenty. I found one person in our questionnaire who 145 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 1: could have been objective. You literally over ninety people said 146 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: they hated Donald Trump and they hated me because of 147 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: that of him. So the point is I was not 148 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 1: going to get a fair trial in the second trial, 149 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:09,440 Speaker 1: and I had a judge who could have been at 150 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: the prosecutor stable and Amy Jackson, Amy Bernard Jackson. So 151 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: I couldn't deal to just to stop, not to give 152 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: up anything, but to stop. And part of the right. 153 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: There comes a point, I guess you cut your losses. 154 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: You know you have no shot at winning. I couldn't win, 155 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: and they were going after my kid's assets, and I 156 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: tried to protect all of those assets and I was 157 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 1: able to get that done. But I never expected them 158 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: to like what they heard from me, because I was 159 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: going to tell the truth and they didn't want to 160 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 1: know what the truth was. Weisman had his own theories. 161 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: Weisman thought and I go through this great detailer in 162 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: the book that frump in Stone and Maniport were the 163 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: key to prove in Russian collusion that Stone was dealing 164 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: with WEEKI leaks on the timing of the releases, and 165 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: he was getting directions from Donald Trump, who was talking 166 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: to me about making sure Russia understood the importance of it. 167 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: It's crazy stuff. But through the course of the fifty hours, 168 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: Wisman never presented this is what I think, tell me 169 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: if it's right or wrong? Whichman would ask me desparate 170 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: questions in the course of the fifty hours, but I 171 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 1: knew where he was doing with the questions, and so 172 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: I would answer things that we're going to create the truth, 173 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: not a mosaic that he wanted to create, and he 174 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: had these had a crazy theory on what the motive 175 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: was for Donald Trump even had the motive, and the 176 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: motive was that Trump was going to let let the 177 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,679 Speaker 1: Ladimir Putin keep Ukraine. And because I knew Ukraine, I 178 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 1: was part of that lynch bit three and again in 179 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,559 Speaker 1: the book, I go through the reality Donald Trump was 180 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: higher on Putin than Obama or now Biden when it 181 00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: came to my God, I mean, Donald Trump was never 182 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,559 Speaker 1: giving a waiver to the North Stream two pipeline, and 183 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 1: nor do I think that Ukraine would have been invaded 184 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 1: had Donald Trump been president today. So this one part 185 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 1: of this. You know, um you you were in jail 186 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: at the time, so we didn't talk, but I got 187 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: to know you during the Trump campaign and we often texted, 188 00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: and at one point the judge just releases twelve hundred 189 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 1: of our text messages together. The funniest thing to me 190 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 1: about it was fake news CNN and MSDNC, you know, 191 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,079 Speaker 1: start you know, Hannity Manufort said this, and they said this, 192 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: and they said this, and their conclusion was, oh my god, 193 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: Hannity really believes this crap. It sounds like his opening 194 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: monologue every night, which to me was a compliment. And 195 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 1: it made me think, well, yeah, I believe it. Do 196 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 1: you guys not believe what you say? That's what I 197 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: was thinking. Well, in fact, I don't think they do 198 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: believe what they said, because I guess not. No, they 199 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: they look they knew on Russian collusion. Well we've now confirmed, 200 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 1: which is that it was a Clinton generated narrative. I mean, 201 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 1: the pieces were there, you know, and in the book. 202 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: I mean one of the things about having a book 203 00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 1: later in the process is a lot of what John 204 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Durham has done in his investigation. I was able to 205 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: incorporate in the book, which actually puts some definitiveness to 206 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 1: the whole Russia hopes, because now we know by by 207 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:33,319 Speaker 1: Clinton's own campaign manager swarren festimony, that she created the 208 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 1: concept of the uh the Russian connect of the connection 209 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 1: between Trump and and Putin. We also know about thanks 210 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: to Durham and go through this in some detail in 211 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,599 Speaker 1: the book that John Brennan a few days after that 212 00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: briefed Obama. Yeah, he did. Interestingly, don't trust it. This 213 00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 1: is a political document. Happened two weeks after that briefing, 214 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: Crossfire Hurricane was greenlit by Peter Struck in the FBI. 215 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: Peter Peter Struck, the same guy that said in August 216 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,640 Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen, we won't let that happen. That that 217 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,599 Speaker 1: Peter Struck meaning he won't win. If you want the 218 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 1: exact quote, I got here in front of me um 219 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 1: and he went on to say, we'll stop it, meaning 220 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: him becoming president. And if your plan doesn't work, we've 221 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 1: got an insurance policy. What, by the way, was Weisman 222 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: asking questions about me. I've never even asked you that question. Well, 223 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: he you know, we had we hadn't talked, Well, you 224 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: just said, actually it was very interesting because white Weisman 225 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: did think out some of these, uh these notes of 226 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: ours are emails of us, and the answered about it. 227 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 1: I said, well, what do you want to know about that? Said, 228 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: why were you talking to when he said he's a 229 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,959 Speaker 1: friend of mine, but you said that there was no 230 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 1: Russian collusion. Well, because there was no Russian collusion, and 231 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: he was trying to get me saying that I was 232 00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: misleading you Russian clusion. I think it was me then 233 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 1: thing every night because I was so frustrated because the 234 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: evidence was so overwhelmingly against their their narrative. We'll take 235 00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: a quick freak. We'll come back. Eight hundred nine four 236 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,760 Speaker 1: one Shawn our number more with Paul Manafort.

I don't think it could be 243 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: a more timely book. Amazon dot Com Hannity dot Com 244 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: as well. You know, I just can't believe by the 245 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: way that you spent how much time total did just 246 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,119 Speaker 1: spend in jail? About two years, about ten months in solitary, 247 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: and about twelve and the most fascinating part of the 248 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: solitary we touched on last week. And by the way, 249 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,239 Speaker 1: we're talking to Paul Manifort's book is political Prisoner Persecuted, 250 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: Prosecuted not Silenced and bookstores as of today. And I 251 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: just want to ask what you knew in the that 252 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: if you told them what they wanted to hear, you 253 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: are a freeman or pretty close to a freeman. Well, 254 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 1: I knew that they would go very easy on it. Yes, 255 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,400 Speaker 1: I mean would there have been superseding charges brought in 256 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: this whole second trial? Probably not. I mean they when 257 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: when Gates cut his deal with with with Weissman, you know, 258 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: the super his superseding charges were dropped and they got 259 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: him to depleted one one count break. He never went 260 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: to jail. And if I had given a game like 261 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: Gates gave them me, I'm sure I would have had 262 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:39,040 Speaker 1: the same same book result. Yeah. Well, the book is 263 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: phenomenal and we've only really touched the surface of it. Um, 264 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 1: it's a page turner. There's no other way to put it. 265 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 1: You're going to follow the story and say, wow, how 266 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 1: did this happen? In the US, it's called political prisoner, persecuted, prosecuted, 267 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 1: not silence.

Okay, you can't even make 274 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: this up. It's sad that this is happening in our country. 275 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: I'll say that. Thank you, sir. You are listening to 276 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,920 Speaker 1: the best of the Sean Hannity Show, and stay tuned. 277 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 1: More memorable moments, interesting guests, and a lot of fun 278 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: coming up next. You know, here we are, day three 279 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 1: sixty eight, Americans abandoned behind enemy lines. Nobody talks about it. 280 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: Here you have Russia, Ukraine. They invade a sovereign country. 281 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: And the minute that Joe Biden denied Poland giving the 282 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: MiG fighters to Ukraine, it was. At that moment it 283 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 1: dawned on me, they're not fighting this war to win 284 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: this war, and it's now it's now become exactly what 285 00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: I said it would become, and that is the latest quagmire. 286 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: And for Western Europe and the United States that you know, 287 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:06,960 Speaker 1: having the greatest opportunity to take out Vladimir Putin and 288 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: Russian forces and humiliate them and defeat them and win 289 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: the war and even take crimea back would have been 290 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 1: a massive win for the cause of liberty. But they 291 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: didn't do it. And at this point they're just giving 292 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 1: them enough weapons to survive. Basically, all right, well, we'll 293 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: play for a tie in war. You don't play for 294 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 1: a tie. When are we going to learn the lesson 295 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:31,360 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump taught us. With the advancement of new 296 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:35,320 Speaker 1: weaponry and technology, you can fight and win wars in 297 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 1: air condition rooms all over the United States with smart 298 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 1: guys using smart weapons, pushing little buttons and hitting their 299 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 1: targets with pinpoint accuracy. We saw that with Solomony. We 300 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 1: saw the Caliphate get defeated that way. We saw it 301 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: with Baghdaddy and associates. We saw it with the Al 302 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: Qadir leader in Yemen. All happened under Donald Trump. Yeah, 303 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: I'm glad we got Iwan al Zawari in afghanist them. 304 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 1: But there's a big problem on the other side of 305 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: that is the Islamic Emirates of Afghanistan are now a 306 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: safe haven once again for terrorist organizations. The Donald Trump 307 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: plan to exit and remove forces from Afghanistan included the 308 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: US keeping Bagram Air Base, which would have been strategically, 309 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: geo politically and strategically crucial to our national security, especially 310 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: as it relates to China. Now China is moving in, 311 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: according to reports, and we've got, now, you know, a 312 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,680 Speaker 1: president that will import last year six hundred and eighty 313 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 1: four million barrels of oil to make Putin and Russia 314 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 1: rich again. Now he took in a million barrels of 315 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: oil last year from Iran reports. Now New York Times 316 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 1: is saying that Europe is optimistic that Biden is reaching 317 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 1: a nuclear deal with Iran. He's doing it to import 318 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 1: Iranian oil. The very same muellers the chant death to America, 319 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: death to Israel. We're gonna make We're gonna make a 320 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: Ran rich again. Are they out of their mind? You know? 321 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 1: Begging the Saudis and Peck and getting rejected repeatedly for 322 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: them to increase output sending emissaries to Venezuela to deal 323 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,640 Speaker 1: with that murdering dictator thug. All of this is insane. 324 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: None of this is going to end well for anybody. 325 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: You know. It's I just never thought eighteen months of 326 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: one presidency we could see such a precipitous, rapid, obvious 327 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: decline in this country and on every single measure, And 328 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: now they're raising taxes before a midterm election, which was 329 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: unthinkable years ago. Because I don't think most they I 330 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: don't think they think the American people are paying attention. 331 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: And they give it a fancy name, the Inflation Reduction Act. No, 332 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: it's not going to do anything to stop Biden inflation, 333 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: not a thing. If we wanted to stop inflation, we 334 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: would be producing domestically all our energy needs, and then 335 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: we'd be smart and become energy dominant and provide all 336 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 1: of our Western European allies all of the needs that 337 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: they have. So this is now a situation, this is 338 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: a self inflicted wound. We were energy independent. We shouldn't 339 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: be talking to Iran, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, OPEC, Russia, and 340 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 1: if we're going to help the Ukrainians, help them defeat Russia, 341 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 1: don't give them the bare minimum so they could you 342 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: survive another day. And then we have this latest report 343 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,640 Speaker 1: that all over the United States that farmland and ranch 344 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: land conveniently located near a strategic military basis, is being 345 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,399 Speaker 1: bought up by the hundreds of thousands of acres by 346 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 1: the communist Chinese. Ronda Santis rightly said, no, China should 347 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: not be able to buy American real estate. We need 348 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: to take it back and are given the money that 349 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 1: they paid and kick them out. It's ridiculous. Here's what 350 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: the Santa said. I don't think they should be able 351 00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:57,919 Speaker 1: to do it. I think the problem is is these 352 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: companies have ties to the ECP, and it's not always 353 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,160 Speaker 1: apparent on the face of whatever a company is doing. 354 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: But I think it's a huge problem the influence that 355 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: they have. Now what we have done in Florida, I've 356 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,640 Speaker 1: signed legislation to crack down on undue influence from rogue states, 357 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: including the CCP. So, for example, we banned Confucius institutes 358 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: in the state of Florida. They try to go in 359 00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 1: higher education and they try to spread the propaganda, so 360 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 1: we've taken good steps. We're also probably going to do 361 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: legislation next legislative session about our pension investments with things 362 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: that may be linked to the CCP. We don't necessarily 363 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 1: have a lot of it, but we want to make 364 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 1: sure that we're cutting ties so that we're not funding 365 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 1: our number one adversary. They are our number one geopolitical foe. 366 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: Russia's right up there with them. You got you want 367 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,280 Speaker 1: to talk about an access of evil. You got China, Russia, 368 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: and Iran all aligning now, and even the Saudi see 369 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: it developing, so they're getting in on the action, and 370 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 1: they're coordinating the price of a barrel of oil with 371 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin. This is insanity. And then Joe Biden, the 372 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 1: same Joe Biden that said I don't think we're gonna 373 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 1: hit a recession. We have zero percent inflation. He actually 374 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: said it when we had inflation of the forty year high. 375 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: You know, he said last week, I'm not worried about China, 376 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: the China Taiwan situation. Why what do you mean you're 377 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,840 Speaker 1: not worried about it? What are you gonna do? Joe? 378 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: I can already answer that the answers, he'll do nothing. 379 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: He'll let China walk in and take over Taiwan. Listen, 380 00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: how worried are you about this actually Taiwan, because China 381 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: kind of keeping a bit of a grip around the 382 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 1: whole island. Now, why am I'm not worried? Well, I'm 383 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: concerned that the moving a touch as they are, but 384 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna do any before. He'll be 385 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:45,239 Speaker 1: over three by the end of next year. I can 386 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: bet you can pretty much bet on that. Take it 387 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 1: to the bank. Colonel North is with us. By the way, 388 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 1: his new book is How the Giant Awakes, which, by 389 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: the way, you know here we are in the one 390 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 1: year anniversary since Americans as were abandoned the Islamic Emirates 391 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: of Afghanistan simplified Colonel welcome back. It's been a while. 392 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: How are you, sir. Great to be with you, my friend. 393 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 1: You know what, I've always loved the idea that what 394 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: we're going to do is bring China out of the 395 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: depths of being a developing country, because they still get 396 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 1: that status when it comes to the environment. For example, 397 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: we've got the Paris Climate Accords. They're a developing nation. Actually, 398 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 1: all the things around the Santis just said all the 399 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: things that Mike Pompeo has been saying, all true. By 400 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 1: the way, the front end of the book, where did 401 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 1: the title the Giant Awakes? Where did that come from? 402 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,480 Speaker 1: Quote China is a sleeping giant. Let her sleep, for 403 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: when she wakes, she'll move mountains. Let her sleep, for 404 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 1: when she wakes, she will shake the world. Napoleon Bonaparte. 405 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,679 Speaker 1: That's how bad things have gotten. We're back to Bonaparte 406 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: realizing things really are going quite the way we expected 407 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: to do with China. That's what this book is about. 408 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: This book is all about the kinds of things that 409 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: China's doing. And it's written as a thriller because you know, 410 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: we've put out our very first book was and Desanis 411 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,080 Speaker 1: referenced it, the very first book the Dallas Publishing put 412 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: out was America's number one adversary. It was our first 413 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: published book. And that's and all the things that they're 414 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: in that book are what's happening today. The end, the 415 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: end game for all of what's happening is that China 416 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: will take over the rest of the world while Putin's 417 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: going to get Europe. Well, the bottom line of it 418 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: is with this administration, It's going to happen that way, 419 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 1: and so we've got we get Our first chance to 420 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: really fix things is going to happen this November. Our 421 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,960 Speaker 1: second chance to fix things, and maybe our last is 422 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: going to be twenty twenty four. What do you look 423 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: at what's happening right now? But when when when the 424 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,120 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House of Representatives is going to land 425 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 1: in China and Taiwan, the Communist Chinese went nuts, Okay, 426 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: they violated the airspace regularly threatened to shoot the Speaker's 427 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 1: plane down. Colonel I know I'm selling. I'm telling you. 428 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: What we should have done, and Fronto Reagan were president, 429 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: we would have done is immediately shipped to Taiwan the 430 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of anti shipping missiles that will sink their navy, okay, 431 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: and send out the any aircraft's man pads that have 432 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: been used so effectively in Ukraine. The only reason why 433 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: Taiwan has not been invaded yet is because of Zolinski 434 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 1: and what the Ukrainians have done and what the shipments 435 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: have allied Western mostly American weapons is done the bottom 436 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 1: They didn't supply the weaponry to win the war. Colonel, No, 437 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: but remember what the Sanus just said. The Sanus was 438 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: talked about winning. You talked about winning. The idea that 439 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: we're going to simply hold the line where it is 440 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: and McDon Bass and Crimea stayed in the hands of 441 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: the Soviet I just said, so Yets didn't I in 442 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: the hands of the Russians is wrong. What ought to 443 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,159 Speaker 1: be done is what Mike Pompeo suggested. They ought to 444 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,159 Speaker 1: be giving them the weapons that needed to win. I 445 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 1: can assure you that the Ukrainians don't want any part 446 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 1: of Russia, but they do want a board with Russia, 447 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: and it ought to go back to what it was 448 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: before the invasion in twenty fourteen. And of course what 449 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: we're paying for is the price that we've We've paid 450 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: started paying this price when it was the Obama Biden administration, 451 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: and now it's carried over to what we've got, which 452 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: is totally incompetent, in apt, and I believe aimed at 453 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: disarming America. I honestly think that there's some of the 454 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,879 Speaker 1: things that have been done ever since the Afghanistan fiasco 455 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,399 Speaker 1: that we're in worse shape today than we were before 456 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: we went to Afghanistan in two thousand and one. You 457 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 1: may remember I was on the air with you in 458 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: October of two thousand and one when I went in 459 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: with Maddis in the Rhino. I was on the air 460 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 1: with you guys when we went there. And here we 461 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 1: are looking back at it, and we're worse shape as 462 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 1: a country economically, militarily, and spiritually than we were back then. 463 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,440 Speaker 1: We're in serious trouble. And so my hope and my prayer, buddy, 464 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: is that your voice is going to carry out both 465 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 1: on radio and television, and my books are going to 466 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: convince the American people that we the people, still govern 467 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: in America, and we don't have to We don't have 468 00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 1: to have kids being taught that they can change their 469 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: gender while they're in grade school. We don't have to 470 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: have a military that they're so at this point demoralized 471 00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: that he can't cut enough for re enlistments or new enlistments, 472 00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: demand the weapon systems we got. And my hope is 473 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 1: that someday we'll have real leadership in Washington with integrity 474 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: that will give us an FBI that's competent to do 475 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 1: the things that they have to do.

I guess one little 486 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: humorous thing when next time we're on television together. I'm 487 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:18,159 Speaker 1: sitting here with a coffee cup that real FBI agents 488 00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 1: gave me. Okay, they've now replaced it several times, and 489 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: here's what it says. You gotta remember, the FBI alerted 490 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 1: Betsy and the kids to get out of the house. 491 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 1: They were coming to pick him up because terrorists from 492 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: Islamic Jihad and Libya were coming to kill them. I 493 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,159 Speaker 1: remember this well, Okay, So here's the coffee cup, and 494 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 1: I got a new one every every year or so 495 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: from the good old guys, the real the real FBI agents. 496 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: Good morning, sir, I see the assassins have failed again, 497 00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: and I'm drinking coffee, given you a reminder of some 498 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 1: of your more risky days that you lived, actually decades 499 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 1: of your life. To be honest, well, I'm exciting life, 500 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: my friend. Exciting. That's one word you could use. That's 501 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,959 Speaker 1: one adjective to describe it. You know, pretty insane. I mean, 502 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: I just look at this situation and I'm like, everything 503 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 1: is upside down. Colonel. You know, we abandon energy independence, 504 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 1: we abandoned the best economy we've ever had. We're now 505 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: going to sick another eighty seven thousand I RS agents 506 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,880 Speaker 1: on the American people. We have wide open borders. You 507 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: had this. We don't have law and orders in our 508 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: towns and cities because of dismantled this defund Nobel laws. 509 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,760 Speaker 1: We don't teach our kids reading, writing, maths, science, history, 510 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 1: and computers. You know, we teach them wokesm Then you 511 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 1: then on foreign policy. You know, every every bad actor, 512 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 1: hostile regime Joe Biden wants to be friends with or 513 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: he's too compromised to ever stand up to. So we 514 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: got we got less than ninety days left until the 515 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: next election. I could say nine days isn't it today, 516 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 1: and I and all of our friends need to be 517 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 1: is real patriots.

I'm truly an optimist. And so what 520 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,920 Speaker 1: I'm suggesting is that you and I and every one 521 00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:09,360 Speaker 1: of our real patriot friends do something for the next 522 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 1: eighty nine days. Remind them Air American people who listen 523 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: and watch us, we the people govern, and we the 524 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: people have to turn out to vote. People forget I mean, 525 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 1: obviously there was a congressman or congress person I guess 526 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 1: in Wyoming who forgot. You never savage someone in your 527 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 1: own party. Politics is all a matter of addition. You 528 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,000 Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about. Okay, she went out and 529 00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: she savaged a former president of United States. She voted 530 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 1: to have him impeached twice. She's the co chairman of 531 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,480 Speaker 1: the so called January sixth Commission, which is an outrage 532 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:47,959 Speaker 1: in and of itself because it's accomplishing nothing of value. 533 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 1: And we now see a president suffering the indignity that 534 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: he did. No president's ever had their home search before. 535 00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 1: And all the things that you reported earlier in this podcast, 536 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: all those things have happened because not enough of us. 537 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:04,000 Speaker 1: Even though seventy five million of us voted in favor 538 00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: of Donald Trump twice, Okay, it still wasn't enough. What 539 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: we need to do is we need to turn out 540 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:12,920 Speaker 1: the vote this November. This has got eighty nine days 541 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,680 Speaker 1: from now. We have got to be able to go 542 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 1: out and say we the people have thrown out the rascals, 543 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: not just in the House, but in the Senate as well, 544 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,520 Speaker 1: and put the brakes on his blown catastrophe that's governing 545 00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: in the White House. And then put a present with 546 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: integrity in the White House in twenty twenty four, that's 547 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: what we got.
