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 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: the Shawan Hannity radio show podcast. This is the Sean

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,080
Speaker 1: Hannity Show. And obviously I'm not Sean. Probably picked up

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: by the way, This is Louis Golmert. I am the

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: lowly legislator from the state of Texas, and I am

6
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 1: honored to be here sitting in for my dear friend

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. It is Some people have asked, why would

8
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: you do radio. Hey, that's part of the job. Of course,

9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: ethics doesn't allow me to accept anything. And Sean says

10
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: his company loves that. Uh, but that's the way it is.

11
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: And I'm telling you, I'm hearing from so many people,

12
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: and I know you're out there. You're fired up. This

13
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: has been a decent year. We got some things accomplished

14
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: that needed to be accomplished. And even though the tax

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: bill that was passed, uh, you know, poles are showing

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: it wasn't all that popular. Uh, it will be and

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: we have confidence. We spent more time working on the

18
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 1: tax building we did talking about how great it was.

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,639
Speaker 1: That will leave that to uh the Democrats, but people

20
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: will feel the difference, and uh, it's going to make

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: a difference for individuals. And it kind of gets me

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: to hear Democrats saying, what's a thousand or two thousand

23
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: dollars to you know, middle class America. You know this

24
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: is no big deal. Wow, the arrogance of that. It's

25
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: a big deal to most of us. And when it

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: stops being a big deal, it means either inflation is

27
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: runaway or Uh, the people that are talking about it

28
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: are just too far detached from the American people. And

29
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: I know that's not you, not in Sean Hannity's audience.

30
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: But we've got a big stack of things we need

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: to get done this year. Uh, top on my plate

32
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 1: is not DOCCA. I will continue to make clear that

33
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: until the border is secure and the wall is built

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: everywhere we need it, we don't need to be talking

35
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: about any kind of legality, amnesty, whatever you want to

36
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: call it. Let's don't talk about it. Let's get it done,

37
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: get the wall belt where we need it, get the

38
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: border secured, and then we can talk about it. Because

39
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: my friends on the border, I get texts, I get

40
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: word they're saying, you know, we had a huge drop

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: off in people coming into the country. But as the

42
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 1: talk of DOCCA has been coming back that maybe it

43
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: becomes a reality. People are surging back in and it's

44
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: overwhelming our border patrol folks again, and that's something that

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: we have got to get done. We've got to address that.

46
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: And thank god we elected a president who's made clear

47
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: that was something he is going to make sure we

48
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: take care of. So I'm excited. We have a show today.

49
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: It's a special edition and that's compliments of Linda. Linda says,

50
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: it's a special edition of The Hennity Show will feature

51
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: several of the members of the House Freedom Caucus to

52
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 1: discuss the serious and pressing issues facing the American people.

53
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: Uh The House Freedom Caucus supports open, accountable, limited government,

54
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: the Constitution and the rule of law, and policies that

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: promote liberty, safety, and prosperity of all Americans. Unlike the

56
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 1: people that have been at the top of the Justice Department,

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: we're not as concerned about what party you're in as

58
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: we are getting liberty for everybody. And if you want

59
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: to take away people's liberty, as people in the last

60
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: administration wanted to, then I'm sorry, that is not what

61
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 1: would we want to see done. And I know just

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: so on Fox News that the voting had been certified

63
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: in Alabama. But I I know this has been talked

64
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 1: about a great deal, and some people asked, why did

65
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: you go to Alabama to help Aroy Moore. Look, I

66
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: may at him back when I was a district judge,

67
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: a felony judge like he had been at one time,

68
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: and Uh, I was impressed with his principles. And when

69
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 1: the declarations came out by women allegedly thirty eight years afterwards,

70
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: four weeks before the election, one thing I know. And

71
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 1: and folks, you're listening to a guy who has sentenced

72
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: many people to life in prison for what they did

73
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: to women. It in you know, having three daughters and

74
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: a wife, I care deeply about what happens to women.

75
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: But and I've even sentenced to death for what when

76
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: God did too a woman, and I had no problems

77
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 1: in doing that. I take it seriously, but I also

78
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: take due process seriously. And in fact, I may be

79
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the only member of Congress that's ever appealed a death sentence.

80
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: I had no problem with capital punishment. I wrote paper

81
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: that a very liberal socialist UH professor gave me an

82
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: a on um. But back in college days, I've always

83
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: felt there is a place for capital punishment if the

84
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: circumstances are right. But as I told the highest court

85
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: in Texas when I argued this guy's case, I believe

86
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 1: in capital punishment. But in order to have punishment, you

87
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: have got to make sure due process is accorded and afforded,

88
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: and in this case it wasn't. And I saw it. Folks,

89
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 1: there's a reason we have statutes of limitation where you

90
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: cannot make claims against someone in court after a certain

91
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: length of time. Under in criminal courts, you can't borrowed

92
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: by limitations. You got murderer, you've got treason. There's a

93
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: few things that don't have limitations. But uh, in a

94
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: civil case, if you want to sue somebody for an assault,

95
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: sexual or otherwise us uh, there are limitations on when

96
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: a claim can be made. And why is that? Because

97
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: we have evolved in our justice system to where we

98
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: saw if you wait too long to make a claim,

99
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: then a person cannot adequately defend themselves. I mean, if

100
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: somebody made a claim against me, you did something thirty

101
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: eight years ago, well, I know, I was at Fort Benning, Georgia,

102
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: and what they called this man's Army. Uh, I don't

103
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: know if I had been sent t d y temporary

104
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: duty to some other post. I've been sent to a

105
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: lot of posts. I don't know where I was on

106
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: a given day, and the Army doesn't know. I tried

107
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 1: to get some of my records back years ago. They

108
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: don't have the picture, they don't have anything. They've got

109
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: my honorable discharge, they don't have my honors and stuff,

110
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: but anyway, they got nothing. How could you prove where

111
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,360
Speaker 1: you were at a time that something is alleged, specifically

112
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: thirty eight years ago. So all you can do is

113
00:06:56,279 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: start taking apart the stories that are given, and there's

114
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: not time to do that in four weeks. So it

115
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: was pretty clear what was happening was, um, you know,

116
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 1: a personality assassination. And you know, in in sexual assault cases, UH,

117
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: we're very strict in what evidence we will allow a

118
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: jury to hear. There is an exception. There are a

119
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: few exceptions, but one is that we let the jury

120
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: know how quickly a person who contends she, she or

121
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: he was sexually assaulted, how quickly they made an outcry,

122
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: and then I'd have to hear evidence. Was that a

123
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: legitimate outcriers? This just somebody in the family that's trying

124
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 1: to help out with the story, but they really don't.

125
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: And then you look to that and see see what

126
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: the quote the credibility is. Those are big deals. And

127
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: when you have stories that start breaking down, where you

128
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: have fraud in saying that an autograph took place, or

129
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: somebody said, yeah, you used to call me I was fourteen,

130
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: he'd call me on my phone in my room. And

131
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 1: it turns out she didn't have a phone in the room.

132
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: They didn't have a cell phone, they didn't have h

133
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: cord that reached to her room. Uh. So, okay, you

134
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: lied about that. What else are you're lying about. You've

135
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: got to have time to break down stories, and I

136
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: knew there was not time. And all I could think

137
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: about was Harry read after he lied about Mitt Romney

138
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: uh and said, you know, gee, Romney didn't pay taxes

139
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: for all these years. Uh. Turned out it was a lie.

140
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 1: When he was asked about it later after the election,

141
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 1: all he had to say was, well, we won, didn't we.

142
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: You know, that's the way some people in this country

143
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: look at it. Not truth, not justice, not the American way.

144
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: The old tests from Superman of years ago truth, justice,

145
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: and the American way. Yeah. I used to dress up,

146
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: have the cape, the whole thing. But I love Superman.

147
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: He was fighting for what was right. You know. I

148
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 1: was quoted in Dallas Morning News when I was six

149
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: years old as saying, when I grow up, I want

150
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: to be a fine Christian sheriff. And uh, I didn't

151
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: think it was funny. I never could understand why anybody

152
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: thought that was worth printing. But anyway, Uh, it's truth,

153
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: it's justice, it's the American way. But when you hit

154
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: somebody up thirty eight years afterwards and you know they

155
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: don't have time, We don't know how long the Washington

156
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Post sat on this story, but clearly, uh, this is

157
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 1: a tactic of the left weight and ambush when they

158
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,320
Speaker 1: can't defend themselves. And I have a feeling there's somebody

159
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: out there. I mean, it wouldn't it bear uh at

160
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 1: least getting into the question, Gee, if McConnell would spend

161
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars trying to take down Roy Moore, and

162
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 1: the Democrats would spend fifties, sixties, seventy whatever they he

163
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: spent trying to take him down, Uh, is it beyond

164
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: the pail of at least asking and investigating. Uh, did

165
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: somebody make some money off this thing? You know, if

166
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: there's been sixty seventy million dollars a hundred million jointly

167
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: to try to win a race, and it's very very

168
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: clear no one was going to beat Roy Moore on

169
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: the Democratic side of the ticket. Um, until these allegations came.

170
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Would it be worth investing in the allegations. I don't know,

171
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,440
Speaker 1: but these are questions need to be asked. And I

172
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: understand that the judges filing suit over the election, Well

173
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 1: I hope something that he files is a libel flander case. Uh,

174
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: those are such tough cases. I mean, I got, like

175
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: the long View paper that there's no question we've got

176
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 1: all kinds of malice that we could prove. But it's

177
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: amazing that you have newspapers haven't had a tough time

178
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: making it. But uh, and then you have a paper

179
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 1: like that that panders to that vote against me in

180
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: general elections. But I can't prove any damages. I've got

181
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: the malice evidence, I've got everything. But if I win

182
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: with sev of the vote despite what they're trying to

183
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: manipulate the public to believe, then it's kind of hard

184
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 1: to show any damages. So I don't have damages. Maybe

185
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: someday there will be some damages, but they're not. Roy

186
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: Moore has real damages. He has his personality has been

187
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: destroyed by these allegations. But what really bothered me too

188
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: was how many people in office, Republican and Democrat, said, well,

189
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: you know he's a child molester. This would be a

190
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: blot on the Senate? Was not didn't didn't you believe

191
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: in due process at one time? Really you would take

192
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: a guy who has been, regardless of whether you agree

193
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 1: or disagree with his position on the Ten Commandments, it

194
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: was the position in this country for at least a

195
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: century and a half that the Ten Commandments were an

196
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 1: important building block of making a great country. Um, you know,

197
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: if he had lived fifty six years ago, there would

198
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: be statues to him, what a great hero. But uh,

199
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 1: he's got damages, and I hope something's done about it.

200
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 1: But we're gonna come back. We got a great year

201
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: ahead of us coming up. We don't mess it up.

202
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 1: It's gonna be great, and you're gonna hear about it.

203
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 1: We've got Dave Ratt, my friend from Virginia Freedom Caucus

204
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 1: member as well as Randy Webber of Texas. Gonna be

205
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: back with us and we'll look for your calls. Eight

206
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: hundred nine four one seven three to six eight hundred

207
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,559
Speaker 1: nine one shod. This is Louis Gohmer sitting in for

208
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: my friends Sean Hannity. A real American hero. He is

209
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: for me, what a great guy. Um, we're gonna take

210
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: some calls and see what some of the folks are

211
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: talking about. Let me mention this, um, before I was

212
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 1: going on the bench a judge that I had tried

213
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: cases in front of. He was always fair, Uh Democrat,

214
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 1: but he was always a very fair man. And he

215
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 1: was dying of cancer, and he said, Louis, being a

216
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: judge is a great job. It's a lonely job because

217
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: a lot of your friends you can't hang around with

218
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: anymore because it would look bad, um, because they're gonna

219
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: be litigating it in front of you. But Uh, this

220
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: stuff that people say about not having any bias is ridiculous.

221
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 1: Every human being has bias. Um. But you've got to

222
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: recognize what your biases are because this is the justice system,

223
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,479
Speaker 1: and for there to be justice, you have to recognize

224
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,359
Speaker 1: your biases and you have to avoid letting them affect

225
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: what you do from the bench. And it's that same

226
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: thing's true in d O J. And when I was

227
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: asking some questions from of Rosenstein, the deputy A g

228
00:13:57,800 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 1: about if you've seen political bias in this person that person,

229
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: some on the left went nuts, always demanding a political

230
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: litmus test. No, it is important that we know whether

231
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 1: or not people's political opinions is affecting what they did.

232
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 1: And I worked very hard to make sure that as

233
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 1: a judge, I was fair and I was just regardless.

234
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: And Uh that meant some people that were begging me

235
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: as supporters not to send somebody to prison that should

236
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: have gone. Um, they didn't get their way. Uh It

237
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 1: It didn't matter to me if they were supporters, it

238
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 1: didn't matter if they were rich or poor. We were

239
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: gonna do what was right. And that's what's been lacking

240
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: in this Justice Department. We knew the I R S

241
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: was weaponized under Obama in two thousand, eleven and twelve,

242
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: but we didn't know, as new Gingrich has said, Oh Sean, Uh,

243
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: we didn't know how bad things were until Trump won

244
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: And if Hillary had one would never have known. But

245
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: let's go to Amy in Colorado. How are you, Amy, Hi,

246
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: Mr go It's just Louis. It's great talking to you. Well,

247
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: this is that you had an issue about the double

248
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: standard in the system of justice between Hunt Trump and Hillary.

249
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: What did you notice, Well, I just noticed that, you know,

250
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Hillary is seemingly above the law. She obviously broke the

251
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: law but gone away with it, and there's no screaming

252
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: for an investigation, whereas there's no evidence that Trump colluded

253
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: with the Russians, and yet they're investigating every aspect of

254
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: his wife. And also there's a double standard with the

255
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 1: sexual allegations too, with Roy Moore and al Franken. Al

256
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Franken probably could have gotten away without resigning. Yeah, yeah,

257
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: you probably could. You're so right. I'm getting the buzzet.

258
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: We've got ten seconds, five seconds, But Amy, thanks so

259
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: much of listening to Hannity Program. We'll be right back

260
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: with Dave Bratt and Randy Webber. You keep listening, we'll

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,120
Speaker 1: talk to you. Since this is the Sean Hannity Show.

262
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: This Louis Gomert, member of Congress from the great state

263
00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: of Texas, sitting in for him, and we've got a

264
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: couple of great guests on for this half hour. Uh,

265
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: you hear from Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan's the current

266
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: chairman and the past chairman of the House Freedom Carcus. Uh,

267
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 1: you hear from him all the time. Well, we're gonna

268
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 1: hear for some folks you don't hear from all the time.

269
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: But it really is an incredible group of Americans. They

270
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,800
Speaker 1: care about their country. Uh. Randy Weber is uh Member

271
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: Congress from Texas. Uh. His district suffered a great deal

272
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: from the hurricanes. But take you back to the summer.

273
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: We had tried very hard in January to get up

274
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 1: to twenty nine Republicans who would vote for anybody besides

275
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: John baynerd. We knew if everybody was voting and we

276
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: twenty nine Republicans vote for somebody else, Pelosi could not

277
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 1: be speaker. She couldn't get a majority, and it would

278
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 1: throw it to a second ballot. And we knew that

279
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: anybody that announced they were running like me, would never

280
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: be elected. But if we could get enough to get

281
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: us up to twenty nine, we'd get to a second ballot.

282
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: There would be an emergency conference called and they would

283
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,719
Speaker 1: yell at those of us at twenty nine or so

284
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: that had voted beside someone besides Banner, and at that

285
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: conference they say fine. We'd say fine, it's uh, you

286
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: can say whatever you want to, but we're gonna keep

287
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: voting for somebody else like they did back in the

288
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: nineteen twenties for nine ballots until they got what they wanted,

289
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,440
Speaker 1: and why don't we compromise on somebody else being speaker?

290
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:51,240
Speaker 1: But so we were a little disillusion We got to

291
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: twenty four, but uh, most people thought we'd never get

292
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: past nine, where we were stuck for three weeks until

293
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: it was Jim Bryan in Stein and Thomas Massey's idea, Uh,

294
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: why don't you announce? And then that takes away the

295
00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,360
Speaker 1: excuse a lot of people do. Oh, I'd vote for anybody,

296
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: but Bain or somebody would announce. You announced. That takes

297
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: that away. So by July, though we knew when we

298
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: got twenty four that the time was coming, he wasn't

299
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: gonna make it full two years, most of us believe,

300
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: because we'd pick up enough to create a problem. And

301
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: so in July there were some of us sitting around speculating.

302
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: Somebody said, I think he will probably resign in January.

303
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: That's twenty five four years in Congress and others say, no,

304
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll make it to August. And I said, no, no,

305
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: he'll make it through August because the Pope is coming

306
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: the end of September, and he has been wanting to

307
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,520
Speaker 1: get the pope here. He's a Catholic. There is no

308
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: way he would resign before the Pope comes. But I

309
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: think when the Pope comes, you'll see him resigning pretty

310
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: shortly after that. That's what happened. Pope came the next day,

311
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 1: he resigned. But Randy, when I said I think Pope

312
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 1: comes and he resigned, Randy Webber said, uh so, louis

313
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 1: what you're telling us is you think we're gonna have

314
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 1: pope and change. And I said, yes, Randy, we're gonna

315
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,439
Speaker 1: have pope and change. And we did. Uh Dave Brad

316
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: let me, I can. I cannot describe him as well

317
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 1: as longer. Laura Ingram did in her book Bellionaire at

318
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: the Barricades totally recommended great book, um, but she said

319
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: referred to Brad's brainy fearlessness. Tan With his sandy brown hair,

320
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 1: combed back and white rimmed glasses, Brad had the look

321
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: of an All American prepster. His smile was real and reassuring.

322
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: More than the average politician, Brad understood the urgent need

323
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: to disrupt the old g OP hierarchy. So, Hannity audience,

324
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: welcome Dave Brad, Congressman of Virginia and Randy Webber of Texas,

325
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: two congressional heroes of mine. Welcome to Hannity Show. Yeah. Well, hey, guys, Dave,

326
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: you know you were a profess us are teaching economics. Uh,

327
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: let's go to the tax bill that just got past.

328
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 1: Can you name all some things that people are gonna

329
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: let's see a change for the better as a result. Yeah.

330
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: I mean the biggest thing, the most important thing in

331
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 1: all of human history is economic growth. People forget all

332
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 1: the human history. People basically were in poverty for all

333
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 1: human history until about seventeen seventy six, and then the

334
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: Great American experiment took off until we got to keep

335
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: that experiment alive. And so that's what we did in

336
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 1: the taxi bill. Wages have been flat for thirty to

337
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: forty years, So the average person back home gets that

338
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 1: up in the swamp. We got cranes all over the place,

339
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: building high rises for rich you know, the cronies. But

340
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: that's the number one most important thing is we're generating

341
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: economic growth. We're already at three. And then on top

342
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: of economy, let's point out we never wasn't. Obama's eight

343
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: year is the only time a presidents has been in

344
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 1: office that they didn't hit growth exactly. And that and

345
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: and that resulted, you know, not only in President Trump,

346
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 1: but Bernie was running on that, right, the economic population part.

347
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: Even the Democrats realize, hey, whatever we got, it's not working,

348
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: and we want to change. And we you know, the

349
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: cronies are taking care of themselves, but they're not taking

350
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: care of American people. So the most important part is

351
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: the growth. And then we gave capital back to uh

352
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: business right immediate expensing, and that's the number one source

353
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: of growth. And then out of growth, your kids is

354
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 1: going to have multiple job offerings out there. Right, It's

355
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,160
Speaker 1: very hard for your kid to even find a job

356
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: right now. A lot of people left the workforce. And

357
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 1: then on top of that, everybody's gonna get some money back.

358
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,920
Speaker 1: Single mom is gonna get over a grand back. A

359
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: family of four making seventy grand's gonna get two thousand

360
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: fifty nine dollars back. Doesn't get that the Democrats say

361
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: that's no big deal. You know there, that's that's a

362
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,119
Speaker 1: big deal to people. That's a really big deal. Let

363
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: me bring Randy in. Randy, um yo from what you're here.

364
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: And I know your district got hammered with the hurricane,

365
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: but uh uh, the as I understand it, a lot

366
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: of your constituents, my constituents don't understand how good this

367
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: is gonna be because of the mcgogery of the other side.

368
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: But how can you reassure your constituents that this is

369
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: gonna be good for them? Well, thank you Louis for

370
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: having us and David welcome. We're glad you're here with us.

371
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: That's a great question, Louis, and I will tell you

372
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 1: that Dave is exactly on track. Uh. Anytime you give

373
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: the American people their money back, they know what to

374
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 1: do with it. Yes, a lot of people are hearing

375
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: the hammering away of the left. It's just unbelievable. They've

376
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: still got the you know, throw Paul Ryan throws Grandma

377
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: over the cliff kind of scenario going on. The Republicans

378
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: are doing a number on the middle class, doing a

379
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 1: number on the old people, coming to a number on sociality,

380
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: and coming to a number on medicare and just on

381
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 1: and on and on, trying to use the fair factor.

382
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 1: Most of the people in my district, they are paying attention,

383
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: especially since their business minded. Of course I owned and

384
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: Eric should coming for thirty five years sold at last July.

385
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: Most of people are paying attention to conservative what we

386
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: would call our values from Republican Party platform of twenty sixteen.

387
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: Who are paying attention and understand how we don't need

388
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 1: a bigger government and control of our money. We need

389
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 1: a smaller government giving people their money back to spend

390
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: invest in the economy. They get it. There are a

391
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,119
Speaker 1: number of people to Louis who are frightened by what

392
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:47,880
Speaker 1: the left demagoguery has been, so they're they're watching very closely. Yeah, well, Dave,

393
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: you know I loved the dimension you bring to Freedom

394
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: Carcus meetings with your economic background. Uh. John Kennet Galberth, Uh,

395
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: I didn't agree with much of anything he said or wrote,

396
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: except that he said, Uh, there are two kinds of economists,

397
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 1: those who don't know and those who don't know. They

398
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,920
Speaker 1: don't know. But you you always struck me as somebody

399
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: that really gets it. Um. But Steve Moore used to

400
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: be with Wall Street Journal. He he said he loved

401
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the way I described the corporate tax. People are told, oh,

402
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: don't worry, that's the rich, greedy people that uh that

403
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: pay that corporate tax. No corporations, if they don't recoup

404
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: it from the individuals their customers, then they don't stay

405
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: in business. Though that that thirty five percent corporate tax

406
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 1: was it. It has been the largest tariff that any

407
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: country puts on its own goods and services. It does

408
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:52,159
Speaker 1: hurt our competition around the world, our competitiveness around the world.

409
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: So what do you see happening dropping that? Well, yeah,

410
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: A David, Yeah, yeah, I mean I just see what

411
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: we have. Right the market has already had sixty or

412
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 1: seventy of its all time eyes. We're growing at three

413
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: percent right now. The federal reservices are going to grow

414
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 1: at four percent coming up. The The only problem we

415
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 1: have is we're living in Orwellian times for real, right

416
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: J F. K Is the great Democrat president did what

417
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: we just did. And it's amazing that we have to

418
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,719
Speaker 1: defend ourselves for doing what Kennedy said would lift all boats.

419
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: And you've got a huge growth under Kennedy and under Reagan,

420
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 1: and so we do the same thing Kennedy does, and

421
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: the left goes apoplectic when Obama proposed to corporate rate

422
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,480
Speaker 1: change ten years ago. And so, I mean, it really

423
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 1: is amazing. We're sitting here trying to just explain comptence.

424
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to. The American people are gonna feel it.

425
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: In one month, they're gonna get bigger paychecks and it's

426
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: game over. Yeah, Randy, you see that as being a

427
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: threat to Democrats that uh, people start noticing that they're

428
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: doing better this year. Well, absolutely, We've had eight years

429
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: of sailed economic policies. We've got the lowest recovery rate,

430
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: growth rate, as David pointed out, Galli was in the

431
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: last seven or eight years, however long it's been. They're

432
00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: going to see more in their paychecks. They're gonna understand

433
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: the hypocrisy of Democrats who are making the claim they're

434
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: decrying the fact that these corporations want to go overseas,

435
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: but they also want to keep the corporate tax rate

436
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: at an all time high. You can't have it both ways.

437
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: We want to be competitive with all these countries around

438
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 1: the world. We want to keep those corporations here. Those

439
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 1: manufacturing jobs here. We want to produce more jobs and

440
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: this bill is gonna do that. And as people see that,

441
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna they're gonna start seeing the hypocrisy

442
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: of the democrat, the democray, demography, demagogy of the yeah

443
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: for sake, for Pete's sakes. Hum, but yeah, I absolutely

444
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: agree with that, and people are gonna see them for

445
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: what they are just a matter of time. Well, look,

446
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: we've got to take a break right now. But can

00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: I understand you have a specific question about the tax law.

459
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 1: Well I do. Uh. I've been a CPA for long

460
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: enough to understand what real tax reform is. In the

461
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: last real tax reform we had in this country was

462
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 1: step under Ronald Reagan. This in no way his tax reform.

463
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: This is just keeling around the edge. Isn't trying to

464
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: play cave people. And I think we needed a tax cut.

465
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: There's no question this is a tax cut. But one

466
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: of the things, and I have I have voted for

467
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: one Democrat in my life. In my teen seventy six

468
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: I was young and stupid. I voted for Jimmy Carter. Okay,

469
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: so it's not like I am a Democrat or a leftist.

470
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: But the Republican is completely controlled this tax bill. And

471
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: and we talked a lot about hypocrisy and and and

472
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: and demagoguery, and the Republicans had it within their power

473
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,960
Speaker 1: to get rid of the most unconscionable aspect of current

474
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 1: tax law, and that is the carry interest provision. One

475
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 1: point eight billion dollars a year is the tax savings

476
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: to very high income people who have ordinary income reclassified

477
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 1: as capital gains. That that in itself is bad enough

478
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: because every dollar that one point eight billion that should

479
00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,479
Speaker 1: be coming out of their pockets is coming out of

480
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: people who go to work every morning at eight o'clock

481
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: and work until six or seven o'clock every night. And

482
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:01,360
Speaker 1: that's unconsortable. So the Republican should have done something about that.

483
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 1: The question is is really this was was the carried

484
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: interest provision? Was that required in order to get mcclaim

485
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: and Lindsey Graham and Kowski and and the rest of

486
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 1: the leftists to call themselves Republicans to stay on board?

487
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: Or are are the Republicans no different than the Democrats

488
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: and all they're interested in? Let's let's see. Uh, Dave Bratt,

489
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: do you have an answer? Yeah, well, I think you

490
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: should join us in conversation talents. Right on the money,

491
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 1: President Trump said he wanted to get rid of that,

492
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,320
Speaker 1: So that tells you the answers is political. And then

493
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: your overarching point in terms of tax reform, we do

494
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: have the Uh. Basically, the definition of the swamp is spending. Right,

495
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 1: That's the one thing that has not changed ever and

496
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: has changed this year as well. And so you can't

497
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: do tax fundamental tax reform unless you are willing to

498
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: take a act at the spending problem we have up

499
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: in d C. Until unfortunately we did not get there

500
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 1: this year. We're promising to look at some of the entitlements,

501
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: welfare reform, etcetera. But the other comments, I think you're

502
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: spot on. M Randy. You have a comment. Well, absolutely,

503
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: Tim is right. Uh. The problems over in the Senate.

504
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: You know you're gonna hear the Democrats to cry the

505
00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: fact that that the tax provisions UH for individuals weren't

506
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: made permanent, which they will be extended, just like the

507
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 1: Bush tax cuts. But what what you're seeing is a

508
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: Senate where it takes sixty votes to get things done.

509
00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: The Democrats would not work with this at all. So

510
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,239
Speaker 1: we they had to trifle around the edges. They had

511
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 1: to get people over in the Senate, UH to agree

512
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: to things, to vote for things that otherwise in the House,

513
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 1: but the Freedom Caucus, the House Freedom Caucus, we would

514
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: not agree to. But we understand that the Senate is

515
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 1: the problem. They don't. There's a number of them Luis

516
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: that you know this and don't support President front and

517
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,640
Speaker 1: so that they need to be supporting Frump. They need

518
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: to be on President Trump's agenda of that need to

519
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: be doing what the American public elected them to do. Yeah, Tim,

520
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: you're very perceptive, and I'm grateful to Dave and Randy

521
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: for being on with us. We got a hard break

522
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: coming up, and Tim Man, thank you for paying such

523
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: close attention. Apparently you were exactly right. Um, it's a

524
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:20,719
Speaker 1: shame what we had to do to cater to the

525
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: Senate to get a bill actually passed, but it's a start.

526
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 1: Some officers not gonna let it in here, but you

527

00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna hear from some folks h during the course of

540
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 1: the show that you don't hear from as much. Now.

541
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: Andy Biggs of Arizona, UH has been on the news.

542
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: I caught Andy this morning on Fox again. Um, because

543
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 1: he's saying all the right things and so it's a

544
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 1: good thing to get him out. And Matt gets from

545
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: Florida has been saying a lot of the right things.

546
00:32:35,000 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 1: So you've seen some Matt lately. But I'm thrilled to

547
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: have them on. And before we get too far past

548
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: the tax bill we're talking about, let me just do

549
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: a shout out to Kevin Brady. I think he did

550
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 1: a great job negotiating with the Senate. It was not

551
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 1: easy and uh heck, we had a repeal of the

552
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: Johnson Amendment that we didn't talk about it. It was

553
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: in the House version that passed repeal to Johnson Amendment

554
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 1: that prevented charitable organizations from being involved in politics at

555
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: all and changed American history dramatically after the huge role

556
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 1: that church has played in the first part. But anyway,

557
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: but it didn't make it through the sentence. That was

558
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:20,520
Speaker 1: one of those things that ended up being left in

559
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: the trash heap. But Matt gets and Andy Biggs and

560
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: I have all been involved in questioning a lot about

561
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: what's been going on at the Justice Department, and um uh,

562
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 1: I just have been staggered as new gang whigs that

563
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 1: has have. We didn't know how bad things were until

564
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 1: Trump won, and if Hill re one, we would never

565
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: know the kind of things that we're finding out. Um, Matt,

566
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's really been an eye opener for

567
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,240
Speaker 1: all of us. Uh. You know, we're on the Judiciary

568
00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: Committee together and uh uh, what's what's your thought about?

569
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 1: How is it? How did it strike you? As we

570
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: got in deeper and deeper and we found out more

571
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:12,919
Speaker 1: and more about how the d o J had been weaponized. Well,

572
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,319
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right, Louis, and it's great to be on

573
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: great to hear you, my friend. I've been missing our

574
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: talks and now we get to share your men of

575
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: me with fourteen million Americans. What a special thing. Uh.

576
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: You know, Louis has not only helped me and my

577
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: service in the Congress, but a number of the newer

578
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 1: members looked to Louis for concerned leadership and guidance, and hey, man,

579
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: I gotta say it, it's absolutely the truth. This is

580
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 1: Handy radio. Baby. We got the truth. I'm telling you though.

581
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: You have been actually quite an inspiration to me. You

582
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:50,279
Speaker 1: come in, you're ready to take on anybody that's disrupting

583
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: the country, and I love it. I love it. I'm

584
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: glad you're there. But but I'm telling you, you had

585
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,120
Speaker 1: to have been shocked, Matt when we started getting answers

586
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: some of our questions about what had been going on

587
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: in the last four years of the o J I

588
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: was and I think the threshold moment in all of this,

589
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: louis was when Congressman Andy Biggs and Jim Jordan's and

590
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,840
Speaker 1: yourself and Mike Johnson of Louisiana and I came together

591
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: and said, we are tired of the Democrats telling lies

592
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: to the American people that it was Donald Trump colluding

593
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 1: with Russia. To this day, there is no evidence of

594
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: that whatsoever. And so we started pointing out the truth

595
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: that it was actually the d n C making payments

596
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 1: to a company that, by the way, was employing a

597
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 1: senior d J official's wife to then go and pay

598
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: Russians to tell lies about President Trump. And when we

599
00:35:42,719 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: did that the first time in the Judiciary Committee, and

600
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 1: we said we're done playing defense, We're gonna start playing offense.

601
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: I think everything turned around. And today louis of the

602
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: American people according to a Harvard poll. So you know

603
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: it's got to be better than that. But at according

604
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,240
Speaker 1: to a hard pull agree with you, and I agree

605
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 1: with Andy Biggs that the Muller investigation is riddled with

606
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: conflicts of interest. And my belief is that an investigation

607
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: that is conflicted could never result in any meaningful prosecution.

608
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: I mean your time on the bench when I think

609
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: inform a lot of our listeners that if you've got

610
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:25,000
Speaker 1: bad motives and bad people and bad facts surrounding the

611
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: reasons why people are persecuting someone, you could never get

612
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,800
Speaker 1: a conviction in a circumstance like that. It would be

613
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: a devinse lawyer's dream. And so I'm glad we've been

614
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:37,480
Speaker 1: able to tell the truth about the conflicts of interest

615
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: at the FBI and Department of Justice, about the extent

616
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: to which those folks were absolutely pulling for Hillary Clinton

617
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: to win. I mean Andrew Weissman, who's the number two

618
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 1: de Muller actually went to the Hillary Clinton non victory party,

619
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: and if she had one, they had all gotten big

620
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: jobs and big promotions, and they'd have been able to

621
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,120
Speaker 1: do whatever they wanted. And we would have never known

622
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: about ranium one. We would have never known about the

623
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: fusion GPS dossier paid for by Democrats. Well and by

624
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,800
Speaker 1: the way, those those uh, prior cases that involved uranium

625
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: one where we had an undercover agent, I say we

626
00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: the FBI was using an undercover person. Uh. He wasn't

627
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 1: guess an agent, but they had somebody on the inside.

628
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 1: And Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein's name is right there

629
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 1: or he goes by Rosenstein, his name was right there

630
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: on the motion to steal all those records, uh, and

631
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: the judge signed off, all right, if you want him

632
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 1: steal and and so we can't see some of the

633
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 1: records or any of the records from those cases that

634
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: were sealed that involved the Russia one investigation. But Andy,

635
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,799
Speaker 1: I think both you and Matt have come to Congress

636
00:37:54,520 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 1: after Mueller went off as FBI director and there right, yeah,

637
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 1: so you never have the chance to question Muller. But

638
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:11,560
Speaker 1: when back the first year when uh uh Jeff Sessions

639
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 1: was talked into recusing himself because he said he was

640
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:18,520
Speaker 1: advised by all of the career guys. Well, he didn't realize.

641
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: I didn't realize that these career guys he put a

642
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of stock in were such hard driving Democrats that

643
00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: had a political agenda, just like James Comey did when

644
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 1: he talked John Ashcroft into accusing himself so that Comy

645
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 1: could get his best friend back then, a dear friend

646
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: at least godfather of one of his kids. Uh. Patrick

647
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: Fitzgerald appointed a special prosecutor back then. But uh, but

648
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 1: so when Muller was appointed, and we had all these

649
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: Republican leaders saying, oh, that's great, he'll be fair, and

650
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: we still got something that are saying, oh he'll be uh, nonpartisan.

651
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,839
Speaker 1: That's garbage. This guy has been a problem. He destroyed

652
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 1: the FBI. He ran off thousands of years of experience

653
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 1: because he wanted nothing but young yes men. He couldn't

654
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: stand the truth. He couldn't handle the truth, and so

655
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 1: he ran folks off that had more experience that could

656
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 1: have helped him avoid some of the pitfalls he got

657
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 1: the FBI into. And uh, and then you look at

658
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: things like he had been involved in railroading Ted Stevens.

659
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,600
Speaker 1: He was the FBI director when that debacle happened, and

660
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 1: somebody from the Justice Department FBI should have gone to

661
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 1: prison for what they did to Ted Stevens. Totally created

662
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: a case where none exists, kept all of the evidence

663
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: away from him and so he couldn't defend himself, and

664
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: then they they convict him the week before the election.

665
00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 1: He loses by a few thousand votes, and then he

666
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: died seventeen months later in a plane crash. He wouldn't

667
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: have been in if um he had been re elected.

668
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: So oh and and then we don't want to forget

669
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:02,480
Speaker 1: the anthrax case. Bush even called Mueller and Comby to

670
00:40:02,640 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 1: his office we had to report and said, are you

671
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 1: sure this is the guy? Because it really did. There

672
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,919
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be any evidence. Muller assured he he

673
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: he was a guy. This was a guy. No evidence

674
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: other than when the guy they were going after reached

675
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: down and petted the dogs. They said, well, the dog

676
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: may have alerted. So that's why we think there was

677
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: no evidence, and they went after the wrong guy and

678
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: destroyed his life. Mueller doesn't mind destroying lives unfairly, but

679
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 1: um so what do you have, uh Andy, to tell

680
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 1: the American people about what you've learned about the Justice

681
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 1: Department that needs fixing wells. First of all, Louis, I

682
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: just want to say that it's a non abew with

683
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: you today and honor to serve with you. You're a

684
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 1: conservatives conservative, There's no doubt about it. And and then

685
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: also it's a great honor to serve with Matt um

686
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: and and uh and Jim and I'll tell you what, friends,

687
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: there's there's no there's no Uh. You've got some people

688
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: who are unafraid with Matt Gates and Louis Gohmert, Jim

689
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: Jordan and the Freedom Caucus because we're we're willing to

690
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: get in there and and fight the fight and mix

691
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: it up. And so let me let me tell you

692
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:16,400
Speaker 1: what what astonishes me in an astonishments of me yet,

693
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 1: is that people are saying that Robert Mueller, uh, we

694
00:41:20,239 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: should leave him alone because he's a war hero. Well,

695
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 1: I don't dispute he's a war hero. But what he's

696
00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: done here is he has exhibited incredible, at bare minimum negligence,

697
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:32,839
Speaker 1: and I think it's far greater than that. He has

698
00:41:32,880 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: done no vetting of his team, and this team is

699
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 1: so vised, there's such a conflict of interest there that

700
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: there is a little chance that anybody is going to

701
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: get a fair investigation. So when Matt starts talking about

702
00:41:50,239 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: some of these people like Weinstein, these people were donors

703
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: to the Democrats, but not little donors. I mean, it's

704
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: okay to be a Democrat or a Republican and be

705
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 1: an agent, but when you are unfairly biased, then it

706
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:07,480
Speaker 1: gives the appearance of corruption in the highest aspects of

707
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: our Department of Justice. But what you, you, Matt, and

708
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: all of us motivated was we saw the evidence of

709
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 1: that bias. That's what there's not supposed to be. Your

710
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,560
Speaker 1: political positions are not supposed to affect your job. When

711
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,680
Speaker 1: your job is justice and right you're supposed to come

712
00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: into you're not supposed to come in with a predetermined outcome.

713
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 1: And that's what they came in with. The problem for

714
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:34,080
Speaker 1: them is they can't even really manufacture the evidence. They've

715
00:42:34,200 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 1: exceeded their scope they were supposed to determine it. There

716
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: was Russian collusion, Trump collision with the Russians in in

717
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:44,959
Speaker 1: the election. They're far beyond that now, and they're trying

718
00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,719
Speaker 1: to come up with these charges just so they can

719
00:42:46,840 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 1: leverage people to try to come up with with basically

720
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: a fake, fake case. And that's what we see here.

721
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: It's outrageous and until Attorney General Sessions goes in and

722
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:04,360
Speaker 1: it starts clearing out these upper management, long term hub

723
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: of the spokes, these guys are the hubs of the

724
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 1: spokes Rosenstein, Mueller, Comey McCabe. These guys are the hubs

725
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,239
Speaker 1: of that spoke that is controlling these directed outcomes for

726
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,920
Speaker 1: political reasons. And they the first thing was to exonerate

727
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,320
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton, which they manufactured that, and then the second

728
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: thing is to come in and try to delegitimize and

729
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:32,239
Speaker 1: if possible, bring criminal charges against the president United States. Yeah, Matt,

730
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 1: let me ask you what what did you see as

731
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 1: the biggest outrage. There's just so many to choose from. Well,

732
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 1: when my constituents saw emails from Andrew McCabe saying that

733
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton was going to be getting special treatment, that

734
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 1: she got an headquarters special that it wouldn't be the

735
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: normal process that any other American would face who deals

736
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 1: with classified information information, they were outraged. Louis and Andy,

737
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: you guys know that I represent a very heavy military

738
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: district where my constituents have to deal with classified information

739
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,600
Speaker 1: as part of their daily lives, and they all know

740
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: how serious that is. And the notion that you have

741
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: someone in the senior level of our government saying that

742
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,440
Speaker 1: someone's going to get special treatment because they are a

743
00:44:19,520 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: candidate for president, it really erodes our sense that there

744
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: is a rule of law that applies equally to everyone.

745
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 1: So I would say that evidence was smoking gun evidence

746
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,640
Speaker 1: of disparate treatment for Hillary Clinton. And then when you

747
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: saw the very people like Peter Struck migrate from the

748
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:42,799
Speaker 1: Clinton investigation over to the Mueller probe, I think you

749
00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 1: start to see a very clear picture of the coordination

750
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: going on to support Hillary Clinton and to undermine the

751
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 1: duly elected president getting thrown out of office. And what

752
00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: the drone. We got a hard break. I hope you

753
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:58,120
Speaker 1: can hang on and we'll be back, and waite, we're

754
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: gonna take your question when you come back. God bless

Speaker 1: I always like it when you fill in for Sean.

764
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:36,919
Speaker 1: But you know, everyone I know was so excited when

765
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 1: President Trump was elected that we might see the swamp

766
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 1: trained and in Vermont, they were all exciting professions is

767
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,319
Speaker 1: up to the job? You know? Do you think we

768
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,320
Speaker 1: will ever see any indictments for uranium one? The Clinton

769
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: Foundation pay for play? And then the second part of

770
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: my question is do you think we'll ever see a

771
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:58,520
Speaker 1: bill put forward for term limits? Well, Matt, you want

772
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,960
Speaker 1: to take the first part of that question. Andy, you'd

773
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 1: come back on the next. Sure, if the boy, if

774
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: we gave you know, Louie Gohmert and a few of

775
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:10,160
Speaker 1: us on the Judiciary Committee indictment power, we'd be real dangerous.

776
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 1: Right now, that power lies with the Department of Justice,

777
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: And the fear I have is that our Attorney General,

778
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: while he's doing great work on immigration and great work

779
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: on free speech on college campuses. It's not giving the

780
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 1: bribes and the risk created by the corruption at the

781
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: Clinton Foundation the attention that it that it absolutely deserves.

782
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: And so we Louie Gohmert and Andy Biggs and Jim Jordan,

783
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,960
Speaker 1: about twenty members of the House Judiciary Committee signed a

784
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: letter to the Attorney General saying, we want a second

785
00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: special counsel to evaluate the Clinton Foundation and the real

786
00:46:46,200 --> 00:46:48,760
Speaker 1: risk that we may have in this country going forward

787
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,799
Speaker 1: if we don't find out who was bribed and what

788
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 1: they did, and so we've called for that. Unfortunately, the

789
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: Attorney General has not agreed with us, and we keep

790
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: making the case each and every day to the American

791
00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: people that this is essential to draining the swamp. I

792
00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,520
Speaker 1: don't believe the American people will trust that we have

793
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:11,200
Speaker 1: truly drained the swamp until we addressed the corruption that

794
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:16,800
Speaker 1: was clearly evident in the Clinton Foundation. Second, Bandy, you

795
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: think we'll have term limits, I'd like to see it. Yeah,

796
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,680
Speaker 1: let's say, can I, Louis, I just want to address

797
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,399
Speaker 1: what something math said. I just got five seconds. Yeah,

798
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: I'll just do it real fast, and that and that

799
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 1: is this um. The Attorney General Sessions promised that if

800
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: the Inspector General said they were here regularities which we know,

801
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 1: and the inspector generals already said they were out of town. Sorry,

802
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,400
Speaker 1: this is the Sean Hannity Show. Louie Gohmert sitting in

803
00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: for Sean, and uh, We're glad to have you here.

804
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: We have had a great show. You've been hearing from

805
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:54,719
Speaker 1: folks who are members of the Freedom Caucus. And uh,

806
00:47:55,520 --> 00:48:01,760
Speaker 1: I've got a great couple of guests now, dear dear friends. Um,

807
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Paul gos are from Arizona. Um, of course you heard

808
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: from Andy Biggs from Arizona. And Andy is back with

809
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: us because heartbreak cut off his answer. But we also

810
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:16,640
Speaker 1: been joined by Georgia Congressman Jody has Andy, your your

811
00:48:16,719 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: thought got cut off? Would you mind finishing that for us?

812
00:48:20,280 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: You bet? And I'll just say hi to Pouli and

813
00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 1: Jody real quick. But let me just tell you the

814
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:28,640
Speaker 1: question with regard to indictments on Hillary Clinton and her

815
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 1: and her gang. We were promised by Director Sessions and

816
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: by Director Ray of the FBI, and my questions the judiciary,

817
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: if the Inspector General said there were anomalies which we

818
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 1: know there were, that they would reopen the investigation, and

819
00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:45,160
Speaker 1: that could lead to indictments. And that's what I wanted

820
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 1: to get out is that there I still believe there's hope,

821
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 1: because you should not be immune from criminal conduct just

822
00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:53,880
Speaker 1: because you lost an election. And then the second question is,

823
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a long time coming

824
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:58,920
Speaker 1: before you get term limits simply because you would do

825
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: empower a special Christian empower lobbyists. You empower bureaucrats and

826
00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 1: staff um rather than the elected officials, and they're unaccountable.

827
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: Elected officials at least are somewhat accountable as we see.

828
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: But thanks for having you, Andy, Thanks for coming on.

829
00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: And one of the thoughts I went to Congress. I

830
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 1: didn't run on term limits, but I always believed they

831
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,759
Speaker 1: were good idea. But we came very clear to me

832
00:49:28,840 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 1: when I got to Congress. Holy cow, the bureaucrats are

833
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:35,440
Speaker 1: already running this place. We're gonna have term limits. They

834
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: need to be not only we need them on people

835
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: in Congress, House, Senate, and uh, also we need them

836
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: on bureaucrats. Uh. Somebody that's in charge has got to

837
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 1: have a limit because they already are running things so

838
00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:55,520
Speaker 1: much more than the elected officials. That is so totally

839
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,839
Speaker 1: out of whack, but we're also joined. Like I say,

840
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: Paul Gostaw our very dear friend from Arizona. I've had

841
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 1: the honor of going out to Arizona and UH campaigning

842
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 1: for him with Paul and Jodi Heis UH of Georgia,

843
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 1: dear friends and brothers in the in the effort, and

844
00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:18,080
Speaker 1: I thought, if y'all wouldn't mind Jody and Paul, we

845
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 1: would go straight to the calls. We got a whole

846
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:25,319
Speaker 1: stack of and people been very patient. Let's see we've

847
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 1: got uh Joe in Winston Salem, North Carolina. You have

848
00:50:30,520 --> 00:50:35,760
Speaker 1: a question for Paul Gostar, Jody Heis and me, Louis Gormert. Hi, Louis,

849
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:40,400
Speaker 1: how are you towards I'm okay um. I moved out

850
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 1: of New York. I got basically taxed out of New

851
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 1: York where I grew up about eleven years ago, and

852
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 1: love living in North Carolina. But most of my friends

853
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:53,280
Speaker 1: of liberals, and I feel like the last conservative standing

854
00:50:53,719 --> 00:51:01,680
Speaker 1: even in North Carolina. Even in North Carolina, well, let

855
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 1: me class asservative standing on Facebook and emails. I grew

856
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:08,719
Speaker 1: up in New York, so I still have a lot

857
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:11,759
Speaker 1: of connections up there, and uh, we argue all the

858
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: time on Facebook and emails, and I argue the benefits

859
00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: of the tax cut, I argue the benefits um of Trump.

860
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: I argue that russy Gate is nothing. I talked about

861
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 1: Christopher Steele and the made up dossier. And one of

862
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: the things that come back at me at is how

863
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 1: come his approval ratings are so low? And other than

864
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 1: saying probably the same polls that said Hillary would win

865
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:39,839
Speaker 1: in a lamp slide, I've never seen polls saying how

866
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: popular Trump is. And I believe he is. I believe

867
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 1: it's gonna be with us for eight years. But how

868
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: do I answer that? Well, Paul, you you have a

869
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: response to a great question, Lily, and Merry Christmas, Lily.

870
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: It's great be you know, Um, Donald Trumble said records

871
00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 1: for raising money in the Republican Bay that should show

872
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:06,080
Speaker 1: you the proundness of the president in chief. Um, when

873
00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: you look at where he goes, it's it's vivacious crowds

874
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,840
Speaker 1: that that follow him and so um. You know, people

875
00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 1: are are tired of polls because you can get polls

876
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 1: to tell you whatever you would like to. I'm a

877
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 1: dentist in real life, and I understand statistics and how

878
00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 1: you phrase questions to get the desired outcomes. Um, so

879
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:28,000
Speaker 1: I would tend to tell you, with the money that

880
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: he's raised, Um, the crowds that he entertains forgotten men

881
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: and women are going to follow him all the way

882
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: through eight years. Well, and and point I think needs

883
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: to be made. Tom Delaye told me this, uh some

884
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: years ago. He said, you know, it's so amazing. People

885
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:50,280
Speaker 1: always think, oh, if somebody is rich, their Republican, but uh,

886
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:55,439
Speaker 1: the Democrats have many more alter rich people than Republicans do.

887
00:52:56,040 --> 00:53:00,759
Speaker 1: And so often the people that have started the business

888
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 1: or in business and they've things are rolling, they're afraid

889
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 1: that they'll make somebody politically mad, so they don't want

890
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 1: to give too much. And he said, it's a lot

891
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 1: harder to get people, um, who are conservative to donate

892
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: than it is to get these ultraliberal left. I mean

893
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,600
Speaker 1: you think of all the billionaires or millionaires, you just

894
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:28,160
Speaker 1: seem to have a whole lot more Democrats very actively involved.

895
00:53:28,239 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 1: Never mind that they've made their belling. They're out there

896
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 1: trying to keep you from making your being with more

897
00:53:33,239 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 1: and more government. But um, Jody, I mean you you

898
00:53:38,680 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 1: you have people attack you, even from Georgia, I do

899
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,759
Speaker 1: from Texas. How do you respond when you get get

900
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: a feeling like Joe has? You know, we all get attacked.

901
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:53,799
Speaker 1: That's the environment in which we're living in. But you know,

902
00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: the truth never tells a lie. And you look at

903
00:53:56,520 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 1: what's happening right now. In spite of a constant garage

904
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:04,239
Speaker 1: of negative from the media and from the left, this

905
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:08,319
Speaker 1: president and and those who are supporting him continue to

906
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:11,759
Speaker 1: move forward the agenda that this president stands for. The

907
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: tax bill is a huge example and quite frankly, uh,

908
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 1: thousands of people said it could never happen. It hadn't

909
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: happened in over thirty years, but it finally got over

910
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 1: the gold line. People are going to see tax breaks

911
00:54:25,120 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 1: the American economy and the economic engine is about to

912
00:54:28,320 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 1: boom the likes of which none of us have seen before.

913
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: And you know, when people start seeing more money in

914
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,879
Speaker 1: their pocket books and their the economy growing, I think

915
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 1: that's going to quiet a lot of the skeptics, uh,

916
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 1: in spite of the fact that they're still screaming and

917
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:47,080
Speaker 1: the sky the sky is not falling in from that perspective,

918
00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 1: So we have a lot of problems, a lot of

919
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: issues to deal with. But I think in the long run,

920
00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: what this president ran on and what he is accomplishing

921
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:56,839
Speaker 1: is going to speak for itself and the people will

922
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 1: come along to support it. This for those just two

923
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: and then Louis Gombert here with the members of Congress,

924
00:55:02,760 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: Paul Ghostar Jody. Heis f Joe from North Carolina. I'll

925
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: tell you, Joe, I think the Democrats have done themselves

926
00:55:09,040 --> 00:55:12,919
Speaker 1: a lot of damage by being as overt about how

927
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 1: bad the tax bills going. I mean humors down on

928
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: the Senate floor when we were meeting to talk about

929
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:21,719
Speaker 1: what we should have in the tax bill, and he

930
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:24,479
Speaker 1: was already condemning that we were taking from the poor

931
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: and giving to the rich when it was just a

932
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:30,640
Speaker 1: bunch of bologney. You're gonna see the economy improve, and

933
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 1: people are gonna find out what they've been saying about

934
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 1: the tax bill is just not true. And I think

935
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,760
Speaker 1: they're at some risk. I would predict by this summer

936
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna be having Democrats wanting to talk about anything

937
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:48,239
Speaker 1: but the economy. But Paul, I know you're the one

938
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:54,040
Speaker 1: that first drew me to attention, uh to an issue

939
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,520
Speaker 1: that has also been hurting us in the area of

940
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,879
Speaker 1: healthcare insurance. Not health care, but health care insurance, which

941
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:06,719
Speaker 1: has affected health care. But uh, that back Uh when

942
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:11,400
Speaker 1: in nineteen seven when they were forty five, was at

943
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,560
Speaker 1: forty five when they were given an exemption, uh, out

944
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,280
Speaker 1: from under anti trust laws. So it's okay, you can monopolize.

945
00:56:20,560 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 1: If you're a health insurance company, you can go ahead

946
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: and monopolize. It's okay. And uh, you pushed and I

947
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:31,560
Speaker 1: although I think Paul I got up and said even

948
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,920
Speaker 1: more than you did. Paul Gosar has the bill we

949
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,640
Speaker 1: need to take up, and that's gonna end the exemption

950
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,760
Speaker 1: for these health insurance companies from the anti trust laws.

951
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: They can they're allowed to monopolize. Um. We passed that

952
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 1: with your leadership in the House. Uh. And it was

953
00:56:49,960 --> 00:56:54,880
Speaker 1: over four votes, wasn't it? Uh? Four sixteen seven Louis

954
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: and weren't even against it. The six six members from

955
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: the commercial like Caucus wanted John Conyers to get the

956
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,280
Speaker 1: credits who would carried the water for a long time.

957
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,520
Speaker 1: And the seventh was one of my colleagues right here

958
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 1: from Arizona, a group of Diego who just thought my

959
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 1: name and voted against me, and it took he left

960
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:13,800
Speaker 1: the floor and he had to write a dissertation of

961
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: why he was really four of the bill because Paul,

962
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: you know, you know if the Senate would take that up,

963
00:57:19,440 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 1: that would pass by huge numbers. So why do you

964
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 1: think the Senate is not willing to take up this

965
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 1: bill to end the monopolies that health insurance come? They

966
00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:34,280
Speaker 1: can when when these new energetic entrepreneurs come up with

967
00:57:34,320 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 1: new ways to to address healthcare needs, Uh, they can

968
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: get swarmed over by a monopolizing health insurance company. Uh.

969
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,920
Speaker 1: Don't you think the Senate would pass in just as

970
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 1: big as we did. Well, it would be because I

971
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:53,000
Speaker 1: guarantee there's not a Senator that would go through the

972
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: insurance industry over their constituents, particularly if they're running for reelection.

973
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: That would be a vote that would haunt him forever.

974
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: And by the way, Lily, I actually had a promise,

975
00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 1: a promise that we would get a vote on the

976
00:58:04,240 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: Senate floor, and so we need to honor our promises.

977
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: Trust is a series of promises kept that you know,

978
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: we're running a little thin with leadership in regards to

979
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: the Senate, so we wanted to see mid McConnell because

980
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: the unbelievable opportunities that exist because when you have insurance

981
00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: companies owning the doctors the service area and hospitals in

982
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,840
Speaker 1: the area, that's truly called a monopoly. And we see

983
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 1: prices go down and more services and more opportunities and

984
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 1: ideas uh to fluctuate in the marketplace when everybody has

985
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:37,439
Speaker 1: to compete against each other and makes a big deal

986
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 1: and also lowers premiums on insurance. It also lowers drug

987
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,840
Speaker 1: costs and hospital stays. And isn't that interesting? Those are

988
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 1: the three biggies that one from Obamacare. If you took

989
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 1: the dollar and invested in hospitals before Obamacare, you're eight

990
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: and a half times more wealthy. You're seventeen times more

991
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,760
Speaker 1: wealthy with insurance companies, and we can't calculate what you

992
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 1: would be with the pharmaceutical Yeah. Well, we got to

993
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 1: take a break, but hopefully Paul, Paul go Sar and

994
00:59:06,320 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 1: Jody Heist will stay with us and we'll be right

995
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: back with more of your questions. Thanks so much. This

996
00:59:11,960 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: is the Sean Hannity Show. I'm Louie Gorman. This is

997
00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:20,120

Speaker 1: and I have with me a couple of great brothers

00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: in our effort to get our freedom back. Paul go

1000
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 1: Sar Jody Hays Uh and uh, let's Jody, why don't

1001
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 1: you take this question from Jim from Tampa, Florida. Thanks

1002
00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 1: for listening to Sean show. Uh, Jim, you know something

1003
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: I have read the Communist Manifesto. I did a lot

1004
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 1: of looking at it back in college days. And uh,

1005
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: you've reminded me something I have forgotten for many years.

1006
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about the manifesto? Okay? And

1007
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 1: the mccommist Manifesto in chapter two, Platform two if you read,

1008
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: did it is our graduated tax system like we have now?

1009
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: And what they say? It was put in place to

1010
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: control the people, pure and simple. Wow? And uh, this

1011
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: is why we need to go to as everybody knows,

1012
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:24,919
Speaker 1: a flat tax period. I loved that. In fact, Jody

1013
01:00:24,960 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: is from Georgia. Uh hit the well, I guess tax. Yeah,

1014
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 1: both of the um proposed proponents of the fair tax

1015
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: were from Georgia. Um, what what is your thought? Jody? Yeah? Absolutely,

1016
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 1: you control people's money, you control their lives, and you

1017
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 1: control their lives. You control their freedom and the amount

1018
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: of freedom they have or do not have. And that's

1019
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:55,880
Speaker 1: exactly what a confiscatory tax system does, which is what

1020
01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,400
Speaker 1: we have had in to what to some extent, will

1021
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,040
Speaker 1: continue to have until he did go to a flat

1022
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 1: tax or some sort of consumption tax. That's why I

1023
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: totally support the fair tax, because it's based on uh,

1024
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:11,200
Speaker 1: paying taxes based upon how much you purchase in that

1025
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: type of thing. You know. I think we've moved a

1026
01:01:13,960 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 1: step closer towards tax simplicity with the tax field that

1027
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 1: was just passed. It was not as simple as I

1028
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:24,240
Speaker 1: would like, certainly not even as simple as the original

1029
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 1: House version, which had three categories as opposed to seven,

1030
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: which we have now eight if you include zero. But

1031
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: it is a step in the direction of simplicity and

1032
01:01:37,720 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: that you know, you're still gonna have. They say up

1033
01:01:40,760 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: to people will be able to fill their taxes out

1034
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 1: on on the size of the postcard. I hope that's true.

1035
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: We'll wait and see. But listen, I couldn't agree with

1036
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:55,520
Speaker 1: Jim anymore. Taxes as it currently is, UM is a

1037
01:01:55,840 --> 01:02:00,320
Speaker 1: set up for loss of freedom and individual rights. We've

1038
01:02:00,360 --> 01:02:04,080
Speaker 1: seen that. I mean, look, at UH just uh churches

1039
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: since the Johnson Amendment back in the fifties, says, you know,

1040
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: charitable organization, including churches, could not participate in politics without

1041
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: threatening their contribution. You had preachers for the first time

1042
01:02:16,480 --> 01:02:19,240
Speaker 1: in American history going to, oh my word, we better

1043
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:23,560
Speaker 1: not get involved in expressing our political feelings, no matter

1044
01:02:23,600 --> 01:02:26,959
Speaker 1: how biblically based. And of course you're sensitive death, Paul.

1045
01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:30,240
Speaker 1: We got thirty seconds. You want to finish your thoughts

1046
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 1: on that. I think it's a great comment, but just

1047
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: take it from this aspect is that times have changed

1048
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: and we can't do a one and uh. As Jodie said,

1049
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, this is a step in the right direction,

1050
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 1: but what we have to do is continually look at

1051
01:02:43,600 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 1: that progression and making sure people keep more money in

1052
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,280
Speaker 1: their in their pockets. Because we don't have a revenue

1053
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: problem in Washington, DC. We gotta spending problem. So we

1054
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 1: want to empower the people. That's it. This is a

1055
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. We will be right back with more

1056

01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: did more to talk me into joining the Freedom Caucus

01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:25,439
Speaker 1: than even Mark Meadows or Jim Jordan's and uh, I'm

01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: so glad he did. Just a great bunch of folks,

Speaker 1: and we're joined by two of those, Rhonda Santis, Congressman

01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:49,680
Speaker 1: I heard Tom and I heard Ron. I tell you what, guys,

1068
01:03:49,800 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: we have a bunch of people are calling in. Uh,

1069
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,880
Speaker 1: let's go to Jerry in Kansas City. Ron, why don't

1070
01:03:55,960 --> 01:04:01,920
Speaker 1: you take this first question? Sure, very welcome, Glad you're

1071
01:04:01,960 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 1: listening Sean Hannity Show, and thank you for your patience. Well,

1072
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 1: thank you, gentlemen for serving my question. Although it I'm

1073
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 1: not sure exactly the potential of it could happen, But

1074
01:04:15,280 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: my question is, is there any way that Bill Clinton

1075
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 1: could have negotiated on Hillward's behalf a presidential pardon that

1076
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 1: nobody is aware of that if she gets indubted, she

1077
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:35,959
Speaker 1: could pull that out and use it. Do you think, Well,

1078
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 1: I mean, they're there. That can't happen unless it's already

1079
01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 1: been issued by Obama and there would be a record

1080
01:04:43,320 --> 01:04:46,240
Speaker 1: of that. So I don't think that that is likely.

1081
01:04:46,320 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: I do think what likely happened when he met with

1082
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 1: Loretta Lynch on the tarmac, the infamous tarmac meeting at

1083
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,960
Speaker 1: the Phoenix airport, right before the decision not to indict

1084
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: Hillary Um. I think he told Loretta, Hey, you know,

1085
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 1: be so great, Hillary gets beyond this. We'd love to

1086
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: have you stay as Attorney general. Um, and we're working.

1087
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: I hope the i G reports had some light on that,

1088
01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: but they were not talking about grandkids for thirty minutes.

1089
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 1: I can tell you that no, no, and her arrogance

1090
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: of you know that, like none of this is going

1091
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: to touch her just makes me wonder what does she

1092
01:05:25,080 --> 01:05:27,720
Speaker 1: know that we don't know. Well, I think that the

1093
01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 1: arrogance you saw was her believing what everybody was telling her.

1094
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 1: She was gonna win. And gee, it seems like the

1095
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 1: more appearances you make, you know, people think you wouldn't

1096
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 1: be a good president. So maybe let's just keep you

1097
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 1: away from the press. Let's keep you out of the

1098
01:05:46,240 --> 01:05:49,840
Speaker 1: eyes of the beholders and voters. And because you've got

1099
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 1: this wrapped up, Uh, what do you think, Tom Garrett?

1100
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:56,880
Speaker 1: I don't think Loretta Lynch has any grandchildren, and I

1101
01:05:56,920 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: believe Hillary and Bill have won, so I as a

1102
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:03,720
Speaker 1: Grandshaw's conversation sure surely would take the word doating to

1103
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:07,360
Speaker 1: a new level. Uh No, Ron's probably a better lawyer

1104
01:06:07,360 --> 01:06:09,960
Speaker 1: than me. Louis, you were a judge, but you can't

1105
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 1: do to get out of jail free card and that

1106
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:15,200
Speaker 1: doesn't work in real life, although if it did exist,

1107
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton would probably have one. Well. But but it's

1108
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: like Ron was saying, he would have had to have

1109
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:24,880
Speaker 1: done that before he left office. Once he leaves office

1110
01:06:24,920 --> 01:06:28,560
Speaker 1: as president's too late for him. And the thing is, Louis,

1111
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: the thing is is they knew the whole time. As

1112
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 1: long as Obama was president, they knew she wasn't gonna

1113
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: get into I mean, that just wasn't gonna happen. And

1114
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 1: I think when Trump won, part of the reason they

1115
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:42,280
Speaker 1: were so shocked is because I think they looked at

1116
01:06:42,320 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: this and they said, you know what, a lot of

1117
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: the stuff that's happened, there's now a chance that that's

1118
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 1: all going to be exposed and so, um, we didn't

1119
01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 1: do enough in the Congress for six or seven months,

1120
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: but we have been digging now and the Inspector General

1121
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:57,600
Speaker 1: is digging. So I think the first two or three

1122
01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: months of the year, UM, I think there's gonna be

1123
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 1: even more revelations about how they handled the Hillary case,

1124
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: going all the way into how they've handled this Russia collusion,

1125
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,800
Speaker 1: with people like Peter Struck saying that they can't let

1126
01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:13,480
Speaker 1: Trump win and they need an insurance policy, and it's

1127
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,200
Speaker 1: going to cause a need to really have some changes

1128
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: in leadership in those agencies. I think, well, I didn't

1129
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 1: realize how bad things had gotten until we started finding

1130
01:07:24,240 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: out more and more about even texts between UH paramore

1131
01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: and the UH actual leader in the Department of Justice.

1132
01:07:37,120 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 1: Is just really unfathomable that people were taking that their

1133
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: politics and causing that to me, not justice but just us. Um, yeah,

1134
01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:54,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, I Louis. I served in the military under

1135
01:07:54,040 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: present Clinton, and I saw the purse begin then where

1136
01:07:56,800 --> 01:08:00,440
Speaker 1: they stopped having a meritocracy and started in placing political

1137
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:04,560
Speaker 1: ideologues and positions of power. It's obviously infiltrated the Justice department.

1138
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Peter Struck was mentioned, H I don't want to call

1139
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 1: them are a paramore. These are the people who were

1140
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 1: cheating on their spouses. And you can't be loyal to

1141
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: your spouse, and you can't be loyal to your country

1142
01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,680
Speaker 1: or your oath. And so Tom, you remember what they

1143
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:20,640
Speaker 1: did with the guy who's who has been involved in infidelity.

1144
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:25,040
Speaker 1: They made him in charge of their human resources, Like

1145
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 1: he's an expert on human resources. Uh, because of his

1146
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:36,040
Speaker 1: infidelity experience. Apparently, I mean it's Louis. Let me say this.

1147
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:40,559
Speaker 1: The second most infamous text between those two clowns was

1148
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,360
Speaker 1: one I think I represent southside Virginia. In one text

1149
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 1: said I'm in a south side Virginia Walmart, I can

1150
01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 1: smell the Trump voters. It's disgusting. Well, let me tell

1151
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,519
Speaker 1: you something. Were you in that Walmart, I might have

1152
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: been in the same Walmart, I think I could smell

1153
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: him anyway. You know, it's mind numbing. What how how

1154
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: you know there's no deep state. It's just a high

1155
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: level bureaucratic straight state where we've had appointment after appointment

1156
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,839
Speaker 1: after appointment, not based on merit, but based on political loyalty.

1157
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:09,920
Speaker 1: And this is how manifests itself. This is the guy

1158
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: who said we should call Clinton investigation of matter because

1159
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,880
Speaker 1: gross negligen has legal meaning. Yeah. I don't think Hillary

1160
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 1: was worried about it because they she figures, you know,

1161
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:23,679
Speaker 1: no way she could lose and all of this stuff

1162
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: that we're doing would never come to light, because you know,

1163
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: it's just unthinkable in their minds that Donald Trump could

1164
01:09:31,240 --> 01:09:34,400
Speaker 1: be president. But thank God for the the American people

1165
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: like people like struck or dangerous, because there's a bureaucratic

1166
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 1: arrogance that you see with some of the permanent bureaucracy

1167
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 1: in Washington. And you know, it's supposed to be we're

1168
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: a government of buying for the people. The people in

1169
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: the government work for the American people. They think that

1170
01:09:50,040 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 1: the American people work for them. I mean they think

1171
01:09:52,520 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: that that they are kind of above it all. And

1172
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 1: I think his arrogance when he was criticizing Tom's constituents

1173
01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: in Virginia, Yeah, the Walmart shoppers and Trump supporters, I

1174
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: think was perfectly indicative of that. I think that they

1175
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 1: have contempt for vast swaths of the American people, and um,

1176
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,920
Speaker 1: when it influences your job, you know, that is a

1177
01:10:13,960 --> 01:10:17,679
Speaker 1: major major problem. So I'm glad this has come out.

1178
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be more that come out, though

1179
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 1: I don't think we've reached the bottom here. Well run

1180
01:10:22,280 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 1: run the Santist. Uh. You make such a great point.

1181
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I just couldn't believe that kind of arrogance. Uh. I mean,

1182
01:10:32,120 --> 01:10:35,160
Speaker 1: I still think of people that serve in the federal government,

1183
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 1: especially in the Justice Department. I know so many FBI

1184
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 1: agents around the country, and I mean, they don't think

1185
01:10:42,720 --> 01:10:48,439
Speaker 1: that way that they can smell another political supporter in

1186
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:53,520
Speaker 1: a Walmart. Are you kidding me? It's just unfathomable almost

1187
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 1: that there were people in the Justice Department that we're

1188
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:00,679
Speaker 1: thinking like that. And so Tom, I was. I don't

1189
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: live in some Virginia, but I was as offended by

1190
01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,800
Speaker 1: that as anything I've seen. Well, I would I would

1191
01:11:07,840 --> 01:11:10,439
Speaker 1: throw this out with perspective, though I would wait for that. George.

1192
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,040
Speaker 1: The third thoughts of the American colonists were deplorable too,

1193
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:15,160
Speaker 1: And I'm and I don't need to refresh from them

1194
01:11:15,160 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: who won that one. Yeah, we need to assert our rights.

1195
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:19,519
Speaker 1: We need to serve the people and not have to

1196
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: think the people serve us. That's the genesis of this

1197
01:11:22,240 --> 01:11:26,120
Speaker 1: that's why Washington's uh resigning his commission as one of

1198
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 1: the eight portrait species in the Return of the Capital,

1199
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,799
Speaker 1: because no person is bigger than the people they serve.

1200
01:11:32,439 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: But the Freedom Caucus is all about Well, that's such

1201
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:38,559
Speaker 1: a great point. That's Tom Garrett, Congressman for Virginia, and

1202
01:11:38,640 --> 01:11:41,759
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the important things that's been lost.

1203
01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 1: The more we see and new Kingridge has made the

1204
01:11:44,560 --> 01:11:48,479
Speaker 1: point that if Hillary had won, we would never have

1205
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:53,599
Speaker 1: known how deep the state was, how deep the swamp was,

1206
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: how big the snakes were that we're swimming around and

1207
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 1: biting people. We we would not have known. None of

1208
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: this stuff would have come out. So I'm grateful to

1209
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:07,120
Speaker 1: be serving with both of you. Run. What do you

1210
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:11,679
Speaker 1: see that we still need to do in this investigation? Oh? Man,

1211
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 1: I mean, look at Bruce Or he was one of

1212
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 1: the top ranking officials in the Obama Justice Department. He's

1213
01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: meeting with the author of the dossier, Christopher Steele during

1214
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: the election. Or his wife was working for Fusion GPS,

1215
01:12:27,760 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 1: the company that commissioned the dossier with the Democrats money. Uh,

1216
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:35,360
Speaker 1: he needs to be brought in deposed under oath because

1217
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 1: the more and more I think about this, this whole

1218
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:41,440
Speaker 1: collusion narrative. I think it's based solely on that dossier.

1219
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: I think Struck opened the counter intelligence investigation based off

1220
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:50,720
Speaker 1: which is essentially warmed over fake opposition research. Um. And

1221
01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:54,480
Speaker 1: that's a confluence of the Democratic Party with the Obama

1222
01:12:54,560 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Justice Department against an opposing candidate. We've never seen that before. Uh.

1223
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: That's very troubling if true. But that's I think where

1224
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 1: this is headed. Once we bring in or once we

1225
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 1: bring in Struck and put him under oath, well, those

1226
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 1: are good points. We gotta take a break. I hope

1227
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: y'all will stay with me. That's Ronda Santis and Tom Garrett,

1228
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 1: Congressman from Florida Virginia, respectively. And Tom, I want to

1229
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,840
Speaker 1: get your thoughts. We come back on what should be done,

1230
01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: because folks, there's a lot we need to do. This

1231
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 1: is the Shaun Hannity Show. I'm Louie Gomert sitting there

1232
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:30,479
Speaker 1: for Seawan. We'll be right back right. This is the

1233
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,839
Speaker 1: Shawn Hannity Show. I'm Louie Gomert with guests of fellow

1234
01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:38,679
Speaker 1: members of Congress, Round Santis of Florida, Congressman Tom Garrett

1235
01:13:38,680 --> 01:13:42,160
Speaker 1: of Virginia, and Jason is the engineer here at the

1236
01:13:42,320 --> 01:13:45,439
Speaker 1: Shawn Hannity Show, and it's so cool when he says

1237
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 1: stand by and then go all right, so tom Uh.

1238
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: When we took a break, we had just heard from Ron.

1239
01:13:57,120 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts following up? Well? Look, I mean

1240
01:14:01,960 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: Watergate was a box buriliary by a bunch of people

1241
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:08,240
Speaker 1: who didn't work for the United States government the cover. Look,

1242
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 1: I know of one president who took a half a

1243
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:13,599
Speaker 1: million dollars from the Russians and his name was Bill Clinton.

1244
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:17,840
Speaker 1: We have a problem fulfilling our own uranium needs. And

1245
01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:21,280
Speaker 1: I know who approved the transfer of of the uranium

1246
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:23,320
Speaker 1: that we mind in this country to the Russians, and

1247
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:26,040
Speaker 1: her name was Hillary Clinton. If there was collusion, and

1248
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:29,000
Speaker 1: I gotta give the hat tip to the Left, it's

1249
01:14:29,080 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 1: brilliant because they've essentially accused the Trump administration of that,

1250
01:14:32,920 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: which there's an overwhelming amount of evidence, I would say,

1251
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: surpassing probable cause to indicate that they actually did so. Uh.

1252
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: I just if the American people will step up and

1253
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 1: wake up. Uh, there's something to be learned here. Now. Look,

1254
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a sicker fan of the president. Sometimes this

1255
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,479
Speaker 1: messaging makes me a little crazy. Um. But I do

1256
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,120
Speaker 1: think that we've done great things. We've had sixteen times

1257
01:14:56,160 --> 01:15:00,400
Speaker 1: the number of regulatory removal acts, the cr he's been

1258
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: used sixteen times more than the last year than was

1259
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 1: the previous thirty. Um. This tax cuts, I'm not gonna

1260
01:15:05,680 --> 01:15:08,240
Speaker 1: call it tax reform, has put more money in the

1261
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:12,400
Speaker 1: American people's pockets and one fell swoop than anything even

1262
01:15:12,400 --> 01:15:15,920
Speaker 1: a just for inflation and over thirty years. Um. So,

1263
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:18,000
Speaker 1: so we're on the right track. And that's referenced and

1264
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,479
Speaker 1: and sort of reflected in the fact that there was

1265
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,040
Speaker 1: a poll that came out recently that shows President Trump's

1266
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:27,280
Speaker 1: approval numbers now wait for it, identical at the same

1267
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:30,799
Speaker 1: time in his first year as the sainted one Barack Obama.

1268
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: So we just need to do what Gordon Liddy said

1269
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: going back around the Watergate. If you can achieve uh,

1270
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: if you can overcome the fear of death, and you

1271
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,680
Speaker 1: can achieve the death of fear, we need to know

1272
01:15:40,840 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: do what we know is right, not worry about political calculations.

1273
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 1: That's called leadership. And I think there's one place that's

1274
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,480
Speaker 1: coming from in Washington, as guys like you, Louis and

1275
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:51,400
Speaker 1: and and guys like Ron It's just a delight to

1276
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:53,160
Speaker 1: get to work with you all. As bad as the

1277
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:55,560
Speaker 1: swamp is, there are some rays of light and we

1278
01:15:55,600 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 1: want to try to be those. Well. Thanks Tom Garrett

1279
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:02,280
Speaker 1: and Ron to Sandys. I'll tell you going back to

1280
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,640
Speaker 1: what Tom is saying about their collusion with the Russians

1281
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 1: on this Uranium one thing and the hundred forty five

1282
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:14,519
Speaker 1: million dollars that flowed to the Clinton Foundation. You know

1283
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:16,760
Speaker 1: something I noticed. I was on the bench as a

1284
01:16:16,880 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: judge back then during the nineties when Clinton was president,

1285
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:25,840
Speaker 1: but it seemed like he basically perfected the ability to

1286
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:30,679
Speaker 1: take any wrongdoing in which you were engaged and blame

1287
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,760
Speaker 1: your opponent for the very thing you were doing. Had

1288
01:16:33,800 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: you noticed that there are some Democrats that are good

1289
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:40,000
Speaker 1: at doing that. I don't. They didn't call him slick

1290
01:16:40,040 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: Willie for nothing, but you're right. Look, during the time

1291
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:48,639
Speaker 1: of the Uranium one deal, the chairman and CEO guy

1292
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 1: named Ian Telar, who was the chairman CEO of Uranium one,

1293
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: he sent two point three million dollars to the Clinton Foundation.

1294
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:59,840
Speaker 1: During the pendency of this deal, Hillary did not disclose that,

1295
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:03,280
Speaker 1: which she was required to do per her agreement with

1296
01:17:03,360 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: President Obama. Uh. And that was a precondition for her

1297
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 1: being Secretary of State that would be disclosed. They did

1298
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 1: not disclose that. Peter Schweitzer got it from the Canadian government.

1299
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:16,439
Speaker 1: That's the only reason we know about that. Um. And so,

1300
01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: but look the news out of the Justice Department that

1301
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: they're now investigating this, I think is positive. I mean,

1302
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 1: we're doing it in the Congress, but we're not going

1303
01:17:24,600 --> 01:17:26,640
Speaker 1: to be able to indict anyone. So if there was

1304
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,600
Speaker 1: criminal misconduct, the only place you can do that is

1305
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:32,679
Speaker 1: the Justice Department. And so I think finally we've turned

1306
01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: the corner on this and we'll get the American people

1307
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,320
Speaker 1: the answers and hopefully if people did wrong, they're held accountable.

1308
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: Well that's that's a great point. Um. Let's let's take

1309
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: a quick question. We've only got about a minute a half,

1310
01:17:45,240 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: But Will in California you have a question and I'll

1311
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:54,000
Speaker 1: get response from Ron and Tom. Go ahead. Will you're

1312
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: on the Seawan Andy Show. Glad to have you. Uh,

1313
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,519
Speaker 1: nice to speak with you. But my question is Barack

1314
01:18:00,560 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 1: Obama was guilty of illegally running guns through ben Ghaz

1315
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 1: you know, armed enemy ices forces in Syria, specifically Stinger

1316
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:14,439
Speaker 1: missiles without congressional approval or was that done with congressional approval?

1317
01:18:14,720 --> 01:18:17,439
Speaker 1: And if it was the former, is that not treason?

1318
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: And what are you, as the US congressman and a

1319
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 1: conservatives conservative, going to do about charging the appropriate people

1320
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: with the appropriate cranks run? Well, So there was a

1321
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:34,120
Speaker 1: big Benghazi select committee that investigated all this. Now I

1322
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:36,759
Speaker 1: was not on that neither. I don't think you guys

1323
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 1: were either. Um, they did reports. Uh, there was a

1324
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,200
Speaker 1: lot of people that weren't satisfied with that, but that

1325
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,000
Speaker 1: was kind of Congress is swing at it whether you

1326
01:18:45,080 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: like it or not. Now, in terms of any criminal conduct,

1327
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: you know that's going to be something that the Justice

1328
01:18:50,280 --> 01:18:51,960
Speaker 1: Department is gonna have to do. I mean we in

1329
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 1: the Congress, because the separation of powers, we make the law.

1330
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna we've got a hard break. We're going out

1331
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:01,240
Speaker 1: as run to Sandis and Tom are members of Congress.

1332
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: We'll be right back with more of the Shawn Andy Show.

1333
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: This is the Sean Hannity Show. I'm Louis Gohmert, lowly

1334
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,400
Speaker 1: legislator from Texas, and I just want to finished up

1335
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:19,759
Speaker 1: on Will's question that was very insightful about gun running

1336
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:24,120
Speaker 1: because you know, we heard g uh there were guns

1337
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:29,080
Speaker 1: that the United States Obama sent uh that actually helped

1338
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 1: some of our enemies in Libya. But there was an effort,

1339
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:36,040
Speaker 1: we heard, to gather up some of those weapons we

1340
01:19:36,120 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: sent to Libya and ship them to Syria. Uh. Never

1341
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,760
Speaker 1: mind that the one people that were going to ship

1342
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 1: into in Syria kept letting them fall into the hands

1343
01:19:45,160 --> 01:19:49,040
Speaker 1: of ISIS. But I was so troubled after several months

1344
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 1: of bane, are not allowing us to have an independent

1345
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:56,879
Speaker 1: uh committee looking into being Ghazi? And so at conference,

1346
01:19:56,920 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: I got up and I said, look, I had been

1347
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:03,720
Speaker 1: urging you to appoint a special committee to look into Benghazi.

1348
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 1: And then I realized, well, maybe you knew about this

1349
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: gun running operation, and if you did, you don't want

1350
01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:13,720
Speaker 1: an investigation that would reveal that you knew, because then

1351
01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: it might hurt our party the way Pelosi hurt her

1352
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 1: party when she score she didn't know anything about waterboarding,

1353
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:22,920
Speaker 1: and it turned out she did and she approved it.

1354
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,440
Speaker 1: So I'm asking you, did you know there was weapons

1355
01:20:25,760 --> 01:20:28,800
Speaker 1: being provided to Libya that were being collected to be

1356
01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:34,000
Speaker 1: shipped because it's Syria before Benghazi happened. And he said, look, Louis,

1357
01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: we can look into Bengazi without getting into any of that.

1358
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:39,439
Speaker 1: And I said, answer my question. If you tell me

1359
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,479
Speaker 1: you knew and approved of this beforehand, I will never

1360
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:45,880
Speaker 1: bring this up again. I will not push for a

1361
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,559
Speaker 1: committee any further up. But I need to know. And

1362
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 1: he said, and I'm telling you we can look into

1363
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Benghazi without getting into that other stuff. And I said,

1364
01:20:54,120 --> 01:20:56,479
Speaker 1: you still haven't answered my question. He said, I think

1365
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:01,160
Speaker 1: I have. And I actually think that he did answer

1366
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: my question. That is, uh, so if that helps you

1367
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: that uh. And then after that he eventually pointed a committee,

1368
01:21:08,880 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 1: but they really didn't get into it as deeply as

1369
01:21:12,080 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 1: uh they might should have. Maybe that would have exposed

1370
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: who did approve the gun running operation that resulted in

1371
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:22,840
Speaker 1: being Ghazi in heroes like h Tyrone Woods giving his

1372
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,480
Speaker 1: life for others. If the see I had been more

1373
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: um self aware, that wouldn't have had to happen either.

1374
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: But I am joined now by a couple of other

1375
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:36,800
Speaker 1: dear friends from the House Freedom Caucus. David Schwickert, great

1376
01:21:36,840 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 1: congressman from Arizona. Uh, he worked very hard on getting

1377
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:43,240
Speaker 1: to the bottom of what was good and what was

1378
01:21:43,320 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: not good in the tax bill. And my friend Ted Joho,

1379
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 1: who was a a co conspirator in helping to get

1380
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 1: to twenty nine votes. We nearly got there. Heck, if

1381
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: all the people that had promised to vote against Bainerd

1382
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 1: had done that, uh, he would not have in speaker

1383
01:22:00,960 --> 01:22:05,280
Speaker 1: as of January of fifteen. But guys, welcome to the

1384
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Glad to have you guys on. Uh, David,

1385
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:14,400
Speaker 1: we've had we've had some talking about the tax plan

1386
01:22:15,120 --> 01:22:18,679
Speaker 1: and uh when when caller was saying, even in North

1387
01:22:18,720 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 1: Carolina is where he came from, before that New York

1388
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:26,799
Speaker 1: people were just all down on the tax proposal. What

1389
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:31,360
Speaker 1: what what's your thought about what's going to happen? Uh

1390
01:22:31,400 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: this year as a result of that. Um do you

1391
01:22:37,880 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 1: do you remember the nineteen six that we'll call it

1392
01:22:40,920 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: the Reagan tax Revolution, when they rewrote much of the

1393
01:22:44,200 --> 01:22:47,439
Speaker 1: tax code back one years ago. You know when that

1394
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: past it had only an eighteen percent approval rate. I

1395
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 1: didn't realize that, Oh yeah, only eight So this is

1396
01:22:54,160 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: not uncommon when you do a big, complicated piece of

1397
01:22:56,920 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: legislation and you have the other side spend day and

1398
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:04,880
Speaker 1: night saying crazy things about it. You also now are

1399
01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 1: seeing a lot of the Democrats and a lot of

1400
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:11,720
Speaker 1: the hard left which just made up stories now slowly

1401
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:17,080
Speaker 1: retracting those, slowly stripping them off their website. Um, because

1402
01:23:17,080 --> 01:23:20,479
Speaker 1: the American people are catching them saying, you know, why

1403
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 1: would you make this up? And it's very simple. If

1404
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:27,400
Speaker 1: you're a leftist, if you're you're you're a Democrat activists,

1405
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:32,599
Speaker 1: you are terrified of Republicans and this president having a

1406
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 1: victory that's actually good for our entire society, that would

1407
01:23:36,120 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 1: actually bring growth, you know. Um, So you and I

1408
01:23:41,040 --> 01:23:44,520
Speaker 1: even talked about this last week. The Democrats are fixated

1409
01:23:44,760 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 1: on income inequality. Income inequality gets worse when your economy

1410
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 1: is stagnant, like it was over the last decade. That's

1411
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: such a great point, and you're so good on the

1412
01:23:57,160 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 1: economic issues. I was staggered when when President Obama admitted,

1413
01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:05,120
Speaker 1: you can find the video where this is never happened

1414
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:10,080
Speaker 1: in history, but he admitted that under his policies while

1415
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 1: he was president for the first time in American history.

1416
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:20,080
Speaker 1: He admitted, because it was true nine of the nation's

1417
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:24,719
Speaker 1: income went to the top one income earners didn't happen

1418
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: under any Republicans policy. We were trying to have policies

1419
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 1: that allowed people to you know, earn their way and

1420
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 1: middle class go up at level and people who are

1421
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:37,559
Speaker 1: poor make it to the middle class. Uh. That was

1422
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:42,280
Speaker 1: staggering to hear him admit that, But that is exactly right, Yeah,

1423
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:47,919
Speaker 1: honest level and say income inequality is your fixation and passion.

1424
01:24:48,800 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 1: Spend five minutes look at the charts. During times of

1425
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:57,800
Speaker 1: economic growth, that's when it shrinks. When that that is

1426
01:24:57,880 --> 01:25:01,720
Speaker 1: the very thing you care most about on your ideology

1427
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: is actually most repaired by economic growth. And those of

1428
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 1: us on the conservative side, we actually see the debt

1429
01:25:10,479 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 1: bomb coming in about fifteen eighteen years. We see the

1430
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,720
Speaker 1: demographic crisis we're in. You know, three quarters of all

1431
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: of our spending is entitlement. If you don't get economic growth,

1432
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: this country hits a wall in about a decade and

1433
01:25:25,600 --> 01:25:29,599
Speaker 1: a half. But with economic growth, really great things happen.

1434
01:25:29,880 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 1: Great point. Well, Ted Joho, you're in Florida and listen,

1435
01:25:36,720 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: I say that. Now New York says their their filing

1436
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:44,960
Speaker 1: suit uh to try to take down this tax bill

1437
01:25:45,160 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: because it treats them unfairly. Uh, how do you. I'm

1438
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: sure that's in reference to the the limit on deduction

1439
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: of state and local income tax you're in Florida. I

1440
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: know there are a lot of people that were fleeing

1441
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 1: California's overburdening tax systems, and and the number one recipient

1442
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,719
Speaker 1: of companies leaving California was Florida. Number two was Texas.

1443
01:26:13,680 --> 01:26:17,120
Speaker 1: How do you feel about the allegations that New York

1444
01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: is making. No, I think it's it's erroneous because, Louis,

1445
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: we've been supplementing the rest of the nation has been

1446
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 1: supplementing those high tax states that have been controlled by

1447
01:26:27,080 --> 01:26:30,640
Speaker 1: Democratic policies. The rest of the nation has been supplementing

1448
01:26:30,680 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: these so that they can get you know, get by

1449
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,519
Speaker 1: with these some uh, these right offs, and so now

1450
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,000
Speaker 1: they're paying their fair share. So I think that's well.

1451
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:42,240
Speaker 1: But remember when the Democrats are railing about this. Of

1452
01:26:42,280 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: course you saw it on the House floor. But before

1453
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:47,120
Speaker 1: I go into that, that description you gave of John

1454
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 1: Bayner and ben Ghazi. I was there when you stood

1455
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:52,360
Speaker 1: up and said that, and you were spot on when

1456
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:56,400
Speaker 1: you said that. The other thing is the Democratic Party

1457
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: is the party that says, um, you can keep your

1458
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,439
Speaker 1: doctor with the affordable healthcare and keep your doctor, you

1459
01:27:03,439 --> 01:27:06,520
Speaker 1: can keep your insurance, your premiums are gonna go down

1460
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 1: hundred dollars on average. I knew we were on the

1461
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:13,120
Speaker 1: right track when Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi says, if

1462
01:27:13,160 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: you Republicans pass this tax bill, you're gonna lose the majority.

1463
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 1: Now does anybody think that the Democrats would cheer us

1464
01:27:21,360 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 1: on for anything that would benefit our party and not them.

1465
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: So I knew we were on the right track. And

1466
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 1: this is a good tax plan. It will benefit everybody.

1467
01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,640
Speaker 1: It's not the perfect plan, but it's going to be

1468
01:27:31,680 --> 01:27:34,000
Speaker 1: a heck of a lot better than it was. Well,

1469
01:27:34,040 --> 01:27:38,240
Speaker 1: don't you love that when uh are people that are

1470
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,479
Speaker 1: opponents of what we're trying to do tell us, g

1471
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:46,439
Speaker 1: if you do this, you will leave, you'll lose the majority. Uh.

1472
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 1: It warms my heart to know they really don't want

1473
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:53,320
Speaker 1: us to lose the majority. They want us to keep

1474
01:27:53,360 --> 01:27:58,559
Speaker 1: our majority. Well, David, uh, what's what's your reaction you're

1475
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:02,720
Speaker 1: getting around are or Zona regarding what we've done on

1476
01:28:02,840 --> 01:28:05,000
Speaker 1: taxes and what people want to see us do in

1477
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:09,080
Speaker 1: the new year. Well, Louis and Ted the fact mentors

1478
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:11,439
Speaker 1: the three of us are in three of the states

1479
01:28:11,479 --> 01:28:13,920
Speaker 1: that are in the sweet spot, Florida, Texas, and of

1480
01:28:13,960 --> 01:28:18,680
Speaker 1: course Arizona. Ted, what's your temperature. I'm almost eighty degrees today.

1481
01:28:19,080 --> 01:28:21,919
Speaker 1: Oh David, I'm sitting on a boat in the Atlantic

1482
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:24,640
Speaker 1: Ocean watching the sunset with my family, and it is

1483
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: somehow there would be an ocean involved in your answer.

1484
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:32,280
Speaker 1: I've got short actually plopped on in a T shirt.

1485
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 1: But for those of us, particularly in Arizona, Um, if

1486
01:28:38,320 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 1: you actually do the math, and also being an in

1487
01:28:41,840 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: migration state, a state that's really growing, where you need capital,

1488
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:49,000
Speaker 1: you need your business is to be able to invest. Um,

1489
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,400
Speaker 1: we're in the sweet spot. But that sweet spot is

1490
01:28:51,439 --> 01:28:54,559
Speaker 1: true also for Texas, Florida, but it's also true for

1491
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:59,720
Speaker 1: any state that has managed its finances with discipline and

1492
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:05,400
Speaker 1: is actually trying to grow its economy. Um, just take

1493
01:29:05,439 --> 01:29:08,720
Speaker 1: one step sideways outside the Republican Democrat. You know the

1494
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 1: stuff we end up having to do if you look

1495
01:29:11,640 --> 01:29:15,559
Speaker 1: at what's happened in the last unemployment report, the number

1496
01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:20,479
Speaker 1: of folks who hadn't worked in ye who now found jobs. Um,

1497
01:29:20,520 --> 01:29:23,720
Speaker 1: the number of Selons who all of a sudden are

1498
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:27,679
Speaker 1: are getting job. Authors. There's some really wonderful stuff happening

1499
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,720
Speaker 1: out there. And our hope is with the tax bill,

1500
01:29:30,880 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 1: with what we have to do with regulations, what we

1501
01:29:33,160 --> 01:29:35,960
Speaker 1: have to do with infrastructure and some of these others.

1502
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:39,280
Speaker 1: Can we keep the curve going and it's good for

1503
01:29:39,320 --> 01:29:43,479
Speaker 1: all America. Well, that's good and that's our story. Well,

1504
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:48,120
Speaker 1: as you're serenely contemplating these things, yoh, what what do

1505
01:29:48,160 --> 01:29:52,240
Speaker 1: you say to what David's No? I agree with David.

1506
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:54,840
Speaker 1: I think that that that's absolutely spot on. David has

1507
01:29:54,880 --> 01:29:57,720
Speaker 1: always been real sharp on that. And um, you know,

1508
01:29:57,800 --> 01:30:00,679
Speaker 1: this is a victory not just for the publican party,

1509
01:30:00,680 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: but this is a victory for the American people. And

1510
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: people asked me it was gonna cut jobs. Absolutely not.

1511
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 1: This is gonna grow the economy. It's gonna grow jobs,

1512
01:30:10,680 --> 01:30:14,400
Speaker 1: entice entrepreneur and a business owner, which will make more

1513
01:30:14,479 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 1: demand for the workforce. If there's more demand, that means

1514
01:30:17,240 --> 01:30:21,120
Speaker 1: there's more competition for the workers. Therefore prices will raise.

1515
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:23,839
Speaker 1: And we've seen that with the companies that have already

1516
01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,600
Speaker 1: come out. You know, Boeing I think said they were

1517
01:30:26,640 --> 01:30:28,880
Speaker 1: going to give what was it, two thousand people a

1518
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:32,479
Speaker 1: thousand dollar bonus or raised. Uh. There was another company

1519
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: who said the same thing, and two other companies came

1520
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:37,880
Speaker 1: out right after that raised the minimum wage to fifteen

1521
01:30:37,880 --> 01:30:40,680
Speaker 1: dollars per hour, which is what the Democrats have been

1522
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,559
Speaker 1: crying that the federal government does. But if they leave

1523
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: it in the hands and give money back to the

1524
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:50,759
Speaker 1: corporations and the job creators, they're gonna raise the minimum

1525
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,880
Speaker 1: wage just because of competition, and that's why it should

1526
01:30:53,880 --> 01:31:00,400
Speaker 1: be in a constitutional economies. You bring that up. We

1527
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: were just I was hearing on some news this week

1528
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,639
Speaker 1: that there was a report out that I think maybe Russia.

1529
01:31:06,680 --> 01:31:10,760
Speaker 1: Lynbod talked about the report from Washington d C that

1530
01:31:11,680 --> 01:31:15,880
Speaker 1: um not Washington d C, Washington State where they had

1531
01:31:15,960 --> 01:31:20,800
Speaker 1: raised the the minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour,

1532
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:25,479
Speaker 1: and that it has done dramatic damage to absolutely to

1533
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:29,759
Speaker 1: the people there, to the businesses, but the people most

1534
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:34,320
Speaker 1: hurt by that were the workers. Uh, they were having

1535
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 1: less hours, They fired a lot of people, laid a

1536
01:31:37,320 --> 01:31:40,200
Speaker 1: lot of people off. It did a lot of damage. Louis,

1537
01:31:40,280 --> 01:31:43,360
Speaker 1: there's some data out there that when you moved to

1538
01:31:43,400 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 1: sort of an extreme policy, it's actually those low skilled

1539
01:31:47,160 --> 01:31:51,599
Speaker 1: workers that get crushed and their ability to slowly work

1540
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,680
Speaker 1: up in a company and take on more responsibly and

1541
01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:58,519
Speaker 1: just have a job and eventually moved to the next

1542
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,719
Speaker 1: level of employment is taken away from them because those

1543
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 1: very business concerns shrink. Well, I knew you would know

1544
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:12,679
Speaker 1: the answer, Dave, Yeah, go ahead to it. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah,

1545
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: is his fishing. No. I got my brother Tim and

1546
01:32:18,960 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 1: my wife Jimmy's a fan of yours. Louis. Um he

1547
01:32:22,439 --> 01:32:25,960
Speaker 1: said to say, hi, thank you the fifteen dollars an hour,

1548
01:32:26,120 --> 01:32:28,720
Speaker 1: Like you said, if the if you do that through

1549
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:31,559
Speaker 1: the government, businesses back up and they go away because

1550
01:32:31,760 --> 01:32:35,160
Speaker 1: the most one of the largest expenses to a business owner,

1551
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 1: and we found out this when we owned our own

1552
01:32:37,040 --> 01:32:40,640
Speaker 1: business is the cost of labor. And uh, you know

1553
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,760
Speaker 1: you let guys, we gotta take a hard break here.

1554
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:44,920
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. If you'll hang with us, we'll

1555
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:49,120
Speaker 1: be right back to the Sean Hannity Show. This is

1556
01:32:49,160 --> 01:32:52,280
Speaker 1: the Shawan Hannity Show. Is Louis Golmbert sitting in for Shawn.

1557
01:32:52,760 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 1: We have with us Dave Schwaigert of Arizona and Ted Yoho,

1558
01:32:56,720 --> 01:32:59,640
Speaker 1: uh Florida members of Congress. And we only got a

1559
01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 1: couple of minutes left, not quite that. And I'm sorry

1560
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,360
Speaker 1: to those callers that we hadn't been able to get to,

1561
01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:08,160
Speaker 1: but so thrilled with the people have been here, they

1562
01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 1: have any parting thoughts for our listeners. Yeah, and Louis,

1563
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 1: thank you for doing this because so often, you know,

1564
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 1: when we founded the Freedom Caucus, Um, you know, we

1565
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:21,120
Speaker 1: were a great rag tag group of conservatives that just

1566
01:33:21,160 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 1: wanted a fair chance. And if you know, there was

1567
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:26,719
Speaker 1: a couple of us who were thrown off our committees

1568
01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:31,880
Speaker 1: a few years ago, and we and the neat thing is,

1569
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:34,439
Speaker 1: if you actually look at a lot of the great

1570
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:36,960
Speaker 1: things that happened this year, I actually think we had

1571
01:33:37,000 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: a really positive influence on making good policy. I don't

1572
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:45,479
Speaker 1: have any doubt about that. Yeah, Ted, final comment, Now,

1573
01:33:45,520 --> 01:33:47,920
Speaker 1: I agree with Dave. There's no doubt what the the

1574
01:33:47,960 --> 01:33:51,640
Speaker 1: effect the Freedom Caucus has had on our government and

1575
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:54,560
Speaker 1: for the American people. And Dave was talking about the

1576
01:33:54,600 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: stagnant wages. Keep in mind, under the Obama policies of

1577
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,519
Speaker 1: the Affordable Care Act, full time from forty hours to

1578
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:05,559
Speaker 1: thirty hours, so that cut people's income and we saw

1579
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: that across all of Florida. And the last thing, Louis

1580
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:12,360
Speaker 1: is the Trump administration and the Trump era. I think

1581
01:34:12,360 --> 01:34:16,040
Speaker 1: you're gonna see the largest economic growth we've seen since

1582
01:34:16,080 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: either Ronald Oregon, or the fifties and sixties when we

1583
01:34:19,880 --> 01:34:24,640
Speaker 1: invested in America. And those are great thoughts. That's Ted Joho,

1584
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Dave Schweickert, members of Congress, members of Freedom Caucus. And

1585
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,879
Speaker 1: I'll leave you with this final thought from my late mothers,

1586
01:34:31,880 --> 01:34:35,120
Speaker 1: who was just brilliant. He said, never argue with an

1587
01:34:35,120 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: ass less onlookers confused, which is which? Uh keep that

1588
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:40,080
Speaker 1: thought
