Speaker 1: love this pillow. Tuesday, Syrian dictator Bishare all of a

24
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: sudden launched a horrible chemical weapons attack on innocent civilians.

25
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: Using a deadly nerve agent, ASSAD choked out the lives

26
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: of helpless men, women, and children. It was a slow

27
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were

28
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: cruelly murdered in this very barbaric attack. No child of

29
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: God should ever suffer such horror. Tonight, I ordered a

30
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: targeted military strike on the airfield in Syria from where

31
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: the chemical attack was launched. It is in this vital

32
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: national security interest of the United States to prevent and

33
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. There

34
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: can be no dispute that s will used burned chemical weapons,

35
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: violated obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention, and ignored the

36
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: urging of the UN Security counts. Years of previous attempts

37
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: at changing the slad's behavior have all failed, and failed

38
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: very dramatically. As a result, the refugee crisis continues to

39
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: deepen and the region continues to destabilize, threatening the United

40
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: States and its allies. Tonight, I call on all civilized

41
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: nations to join us and seeking to end the slurter

42
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: and bloodshed in Syria, and also to end carold of

43
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 1: all kinds and all types. We ask for God's wisdom

44
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,920
Speaker 1: as we face the challenge of our very troubled world.

45
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: We pray for the lives of the wounded and for

46
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: the souls of those who have passed, and we hope

47
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: that as long as America stands for justice, then peace

48
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: and harmony will in the end prevail. Good Night, and

49
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: God bless America and the entire world. Thank you all right,

50
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: glad you're with us. Happy Friday. That was the President

51
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: making a statement last night after, in fact, fifty nine,

52
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: some fifty nine Tomahawk missiles were fired at the very

53
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: launch pad of where these chemical weapons were used by

54
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: Syria against men, women, and children earlier this week. You

55
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 1: can hear a very affected, very different President Trump there,

56
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: just like we heard when he was meeting with the

57
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: King of Jordan Abdullah earlier this week, and that issue

58
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: came up, and the issue of a red line came

59
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: up over and over again. You know, I've got to

60
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: say it's pretty powerful statement here. No child of God

61
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: should suffer such horror. And the President said that, and

62
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: I'm following the comments and the commentary, and everybody said, well,

63
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: the President tweeted out that Obama shouldn't do what is

64
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: he doing. Okay, that's a fair thing, but that's a

65
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: fair criticism. He changed his mind after seeing dead children

66
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: that had been gassed. But if we're going to be

67
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,119
Speaker 1: fair and talk about changing minds and listening to things

68
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: that are said to us by politician, why don't we

69
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: start the program. And I want you to think about

70
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: this in the context especially of the Iranian nuclear deal,

71
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 1: which allows the Iranians to continue to spin their centerfuges

72
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: twenty five days before we give them inspections and they

73
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: get heads up on it. We don't even get to

74
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: have American inspectors, nor do we get to inspect everything

75
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: we want to inspect. And the billions of taxpayer of

76
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: dollars that he forked over to this radical Islamic regime

77
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: that has declared over and over again that they want

78
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 1: to destroy America, destroy Israel, and they want a worldwide

79
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: caliphate that has been their goal from the beginning. How

80
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 1: right is Obama and his assurances that, well, the Iranians

81
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: now they're limited in getting nuclear weapons. Well, if we're

82
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: going to talk about Donald Trump changed his mind on

83
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 1: the issue of whether or not there should be retaliation

84
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: in the case of the use of chemical weapons against men, women,

85
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: and children. You know, I'm having a hard time understanding

86
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,720
Speaker 1: the opposition to this. He did everything that Trump said

87
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: he would do in terms of he didn't telegraph the move.

88
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: There's no desire clearly to occupy, but it's a message

89
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 1: stop using chemical weapons against innocent men, women, and children.

90
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: That there is a line that the world cannot tolgrate,

91
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: which is it's bad enough. This ridiculous civil war has

92
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,440
Speaker 1: gone on for seven years with no resolution at all,

93
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: being fomented by the way by Putin. Oh for all

94
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: the talk of the conspiracy Trump and the Russians, he

95
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: went dead set against Vladimir Putin last night and what

96
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: the Russians wanted because they have been propping up the

97
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Assad regime, that this entire time for their own political benefit.

98
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: But if we're going to take the words of politicians,

99
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 1: which this is all that CNN and NBC has fixated

100
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: on I flipped. I can't believe this is it. Okay,

101
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: let's listen to both. Well, let's listen to President Obama,

102
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: and then we'll listen to John Kerry, and then we'll

103
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: listen to Susan Rice, and we'll listen to their words

104
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: assuring you the American people that Obama's line in the

105
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: sand got Syria and Assad to give up their chemical weapons,

106
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: which clearly isn't true because he used them again this week. Listen.

107
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: I think it was important for me, as President of

108
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: the United States to send a message that, in fact,

109
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: there is something different about chemical weapons. And regardless of

110
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: how it ended up playing, I think in the Beltway,

111
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: what is true is Assad got rid of his chemical weapons,

112
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: and the reason he got rid of them was, well, look,

113
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: if ninety percent or ninety five percent of those chemical

114
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: stockpiles were eliminated, that's a lot of chemical weapons that

115
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: are not right now in the hands of Isle or Nusra,

116
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 1: or for that matter, of the regime. The President made

117
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: his decision to strike, he announced his decision to strike publicly,

118
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: and the purpose of the strike was to get the

119
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: chemical weapons out of Syria. That's the purpose. We achieved

120
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: a deal with the Russians that didn't wind up in

121
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: two days of strikes that would have sent a quote

122
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,600
Speaker 1: message but would not have removed the weapons. We struck

123
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: a deal to get all of the declared weapons out

124
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: of Syria. Never before in a conflict has that ever happened,

125
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: that during a conflict, weapons and mass destruction are taken

126
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: out of the zone of conflict. And thank god we

127
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: did that because if we hadn't done that, today ISIL

128
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: would have those chemical weapons in large parts of the country.

129
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: Because in the meantime we were able to find a

130
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: solution that actually removed the chemical weapons that were known

131
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: from Syria in a way that the use of force

132
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: would never have accomplished. Oh, the use They just they're wrong. Now,

133
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: let's assume there is wrong about Iran and the Iranian deal,

134
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: as they are about what happened in Syria. Now, I

135
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: understand the argument that Rampaul I, like Rampaul Rampaul is

136
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: a constitutionalist, and if there's going to be further escalation,

137
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, I understand the War Parisact, but you know,

138
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: using military forces not a declaration of war. I think

139
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: the hope of the president is this message gets sent,

140
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: gets sent loud and clear. I think the first thing

141
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: that you've got to recognize what happened last night is

142
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: the President sent a message to the entire world and

143
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: Pyongyang in North Korea, and certainly the Iranians and certainly

144
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: the Russians you know outside of them, and the Syrians

145
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: meaning asad you know who is really upset about what

146
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: happened last night? Is the world going to sit back

147
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 1: and watch a modern day holocaust where children are gassed

148
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: before our eyes, with the images being shown to the world,

149
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: And I guess it's we're just going to sit back

150
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: and not let and just let that continue to happen

151
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: and not try to stop it. I don't want America

152
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: to be the world's policemen either. I don't think we

153
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: have nobility as a country anymore to fight wars because

154
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 1: they always become politicized. But we certainly have the military

155
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: technology and the ability and the strength and hopefully the

156
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 1: moral commitment that if we see dead kids from chemical weapons,

157
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: maybe we have to do a little something to stop it,

158
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: especially considering we were promised, oh, there's no such thing

159
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: as chemical weapons inside Assyria, that of course by Obama

160
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: and rice and carry. They lied. Now let's assume they're

161
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,959
Speaker 1: just as wrong on Iran. Oh great, Now we've got

162
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: a squared B squared equals C squared because you got

163
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: radical Islamic terrorists that believe in a worldwide caliphate now

164
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 1: having nuclear weapons in their arsenal and a promise of

165
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,439
Speaker 1: pledge in a commitment to destroy Israel in the United States.

166
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: That's not going to work. And by the way, you know,

167
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: with all the talk about Russia, you know, the biggest

168
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: question coming out of last night's missile attack was, well,

169
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: why did Russian forces on the ground failed to deploy

170
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: this state of the art missile defense system that they

171
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: had at that base, at that very airbase. They could

172
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: have at least tried to blunt the attack. And I

173
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: suspect when Trump, you know, we had an agreement where

174
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: a military to military agreement that if we're about to

175
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: hit something, we give them a heads up so their

176
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: soldiers don't die. That we were committed by treaty and

177
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 1: agreement to do that. Last night, people say, wow, they

178
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: gave him a heads up. No, that's not what happened.

179
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: But I think when Trump, when our military talked to

180
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 1: their military and Putin got that heads up that a

181
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: launch was imminent, that the attack was taking place, wasn't

182
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: aimed at Russian personnel, wasn't aimed at Russian assets on

183
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: the ground. Well, Putin didn't want a confrontation in spite

184
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 1: of all the rhetoric coming out of Russia today, and

185
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I think for obvious reasons. Now, you know, Kim Jong

186
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: un congratulates as sad just hours before Trump's missile strike.

187
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: I wonder if he's congratulating him now. He sent a

188
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 1: letter of congratulations to Syrian president Bashar al Assad on

189
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: the seventie anniversary of the country's ruling Bath Party, according

190
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: to Pyongyang's news agency. Well that was sent just hours

191
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,960
Speaker 1: before President Trump order the air strikes. You know, the

192
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: world sees a different America here. This is not America

193
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: leading from behind. This is not America seeking the UN approval.

194
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 1: This is America acting. This is America taking a moral stand.

195
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: Nobody wants a long term conflict. Why because it'll be

196
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,320
Speaker 1: politicized anyway, and we don't have the stature or the stamina.

197
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,200
Speaker 1: Were not stature. We don't have the stamina, you know,

198
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:36,479
Speaker 1: the stomach in Washington to see through in any military

199
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: conflict of victory. Prime Minister net and Yahoo praised Trump

200
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: back Trump on the strike as he always is a

201
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: loyal and fierce ally of the United States. I don't

202
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: think it's by accident that the President recently met and

203
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: very very little attention was paid to his meetings with

204
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: the King of Jordan Abdullah, and the and the President

205
00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: and General Alcisi of Egypt and the Crown Prince of

206
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, and of course Prime Minister net Yahoo and

207
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:06,320
Speaker 1: I've been saying that maybe the one good thing that

208
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: ever came out of the Obama years and this ridiculous

209
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: Iranian deal was the fact that a new alliance was created,

210
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:18,119
Speaker 1: Sunni Arab nations now aligning with the Israelis and partnering

211
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: to stand up against possible Iranian hegemony in the region,

212
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 1: which of course is their goal. And you know, Vladimir

213
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: Putin wants his stew just Sad to stay alive. He

214
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: probably needs to get him out of Damascus and get him.

215
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: As my buddy Ali North wrote me last night, make

216
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 1: him Eddie Snowdon's roommate in Moscow. Andy, We'll have the

217
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: latest on this look on this Friday. We've got a

218
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: lot of news. We have Judge Gorsich praised to Republicans,

219
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: not something I do often on this program, but they

220
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: actually did the right thing. And indeed he will be

221
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. He'll be sworn in on Monday.

222
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,559
Speaker 1: We'll have an update on that today. Also, we are

223
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: following the latest discussion, debate and negotiations going on. They

224
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: continue as it relates to healthcare in Washington. We had

225
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: an attack in Sweden, five dead now and a terror attack.

226
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: I thought that wasn't supposed to happen in Sweden. We'll

227
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: get to that today and all the other news of

228
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 1: the day, and of course the latest on Susan Rice.

229
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: So we've got a busy news Friday here today, bite

230
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: sized version of the show that you can take with you.

231
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: To sign up today for Hannity headlines, go to Hannity

232
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: dot com. We'll take a lot of calls today. In

233
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: the next half hour, we'll get to some phone calls

234
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: to some of the other news. There are ongoing negotiations

235
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: as it relates to healthcare. If we get any developments

236
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: on that, we'll let you know. I gotta give praise

237
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: where praises due. I have been very critical of Republicans

238
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: in Washington. I'm still pissed off that they're going away

239
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: on a two week vacation, although that might change. And

240
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: they still haven't got a healthcare build done after eight years,

241
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: which annoys the living daylights out of me. But they

242
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: did in Senate, and I've been critical of Mitch McConnell

243
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: at times, but he did hold strong as it relates

244
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 1: to not giving a vote on Merrick Garland the number

245
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: two you know, today's Senate confirmation vote, Neil Gorst's. The

246
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,720
Speaker 1: final vote was fifty four forty five. It wouldn't have

247
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: happened had Mitch McConnell not invoked the constitutional option. Now

248
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 1: he had no other choice from there was no choice,

249
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: but you know, he could have caved, I guess, but

250
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: the rules don't apply equally and there's no reciprocity from Democrats,

251
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 1: so he really didn't have a choice anyway. The Republican

252
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 1: Senate votes gave every Obama Supreme Court nominee the upper

253
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: down vote everyone every time Sonia saw to my R

254
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: sixty eight thirty one, Elena Kagan sixty three thirty seven,

255
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: Gorsts fifty four forty five. But for the first time

256
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: in a couple of hundred years for partisan reasons, they

257
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: filibustered Neil Gorstz. Neil Gorstz will be on the Court

258
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 1: as of Monday, so I got to give credit where

259
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 1: it is due. I did take a little shot on

260
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: Twitter today against the never Trumper people, because you know,

261
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: there was so adamant that Donald Trump is a liberal. Well,

262
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: I don't think the wall is liberal. I don't think

263
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: his economic plan is liberal. I don't think vetting refugees

264
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: is a liberal. I don't think Neil Gorsich is a

265
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: liberal based on his background in his history, and Washington

266
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: Post even said in an article they put out that

267
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: they think his track record shows he's more conservative than Scalia.

268
00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: I can only hope and pray. Sometimes you don't know.

269
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 1: David Suit was probably the biggest disappointment in our lifetime,

270
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: and probably you know, my favorite justice on the Supreme

271
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: Court now is Clarence Thomas by far, and I hope

272
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 1: that Neil Gorsich gets into that category. And Clarence Thomas

273
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: and Justice Kalia. I mean, what they did for this

274
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: country is just an enormous service that is immeasurable in

275
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: terms of the damage that other wise would have been

276
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: done by people that don't have the originalist philosophy, that

277
00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:07,959
Speaker 1: actually believe in separation of powers and coequal branches of

278
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 1: government and not citing foreign constitutions and legislating from the bench,

279
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: or you know, coming up with crazy ideas to justify

280
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: insane decisions. All right, we'll continue your calls on the

281
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 1: other side when we come back more of the best

282
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 1: of the Sean Hannity Show. Stay tuned. We know you

283
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: never want to miss the Sean Show, and now you

284
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:33,440
Speaker 1: never have to. Just sign up for Hannity Headlines, a

285
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 1: bite sized version of the show that you can take

286
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: with you on your laptop, your mobile phone everywhere you go,

287
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: even to your liberal in law's place in Vermont. So yeah,

288
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: and after a few hours of that, you'll be glad

289
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 1: you've brought Sean along. To sign up today for Hannity Headlines.

290
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,920
Speaker 1: Go to Hannity dot com. Yeah, they're lazy and they're

291
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: going on vacation soon. Everyone in there thinks they're funny

292
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 1: because they all put their feet up on their desk

293
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: and they're acting like their drinking beer and relaxing and

294
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: not doing their job. I don't listen play any game

295
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: you want, but you don't do your job around here.

296
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 1: You don't last. I'm just thirsty. I don't know what

297
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 1: you're talking about. You know, what have I always said

298
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: about firing people? I don't fire people. No, I always say,

299
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: people fire themselves. I don't fire people. People really end

300
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: up always in my universe firing themselves. Those people that

301
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: get fired, and there's very few, because I'm not stupid

302
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: in the people that I hire. And I just want

303
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: people that want that care about their job as much

304
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: as I do. And I wish the Congress cared about

305
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: their job as much as all of you and this

306
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: audience care about yours. And the differences is they're not

307
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 1: likely to get fired. And you know, ninety percent because

308
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: the jerrymandering, these people get reelected. And it's it's sad

309
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: that there's no sense of urgency, real life urgency that

310
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,119
Speaker 1: let's say you're an emergency room doctor. What do you

311
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: get to go away for Easter? No, you gotta work Easterday.

312
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: You know, if you work in the restaurant business, you're

313
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 1: working Easter Sunday or Palm Sunday or Christmas Day or

314
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day. And all those waiters and waitresses and everybody

315
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:19,919
Speaker 1: in between by the way that didn't come through the

316
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: way you wanted came through gibber Josh, you know, gibberish.

317
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: And I'm just like, I'm so frustrated that they can't

318
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: get this healthcare buil done beyond words, and you know,

319
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: and then they're gonna go away. You know, stay and

320
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: do the Stay and do your work till you get

321
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:45,640
Speaker 1: it done. Stay, Stay and do your job. And if

322
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 1: that means working this Saturday and this palm Sunday, like

323
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 1: average people, like real people, like all of us in

324
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: the real world that care about our jobs. I can't

325
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: imagine not caring about work. I mean, I think back

326
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: to every job I've had in my life. I mean,

327
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 1: when I was washing dishes, they piled up unless I moved,

328
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: and they weren't going away until I cleaned them. That

329
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: was my job. You know. When I was a cook,

330
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: those you know sheets that line up in front of

331
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: the boiler, they need to get fulfilled, and they get

332
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: they line up fast. You gotta move. I used to

333
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 1: run inside these kitchens I worked in. I'd be running

334
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 1: back and forth like and I loved it, sweating and

335
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: loving it. When I was a kid, I was making money,

336
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: I loved it. Nice samet poly girl at the end

337
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: of the night was perfect for a thirteen year old kid.

338
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,399
Speaker 1: That was heaven. Sometimes they give us two and that

339
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 1: was really heaven. Two same poly girls. I know when

340
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 1: I was a bus boy, I remember I worked at

341
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: this place in Flora Park. To Mary Peddler, I would

342
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 1: run being a bus boy run. I remember when the

343
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,040
Speaker 1: bar got busy, I was running across the bar. Had

344
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: to make every pina colada, banana, strawberry dacirie by hand

345
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: at the time, every margaritta by hand and blend it.

346
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,880
Speaker 1: What a pain in the unit. What thank god they've

347
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: streamlined the making of pina coladas and daciries and can't down.

348
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 1: How about a shot in a beer? It's good grief.

349
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 1: I was like, oh great, yeah, that's on the house.

350
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 1: Take the shot in the Budweiser. Just for not making

351
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 1: me work that hard. You used to have to make

352
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: every single one by hand, and now you got a

353
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: full restaurant, a full bar five deep. Did nobody wants

354
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: to wait for their drink? Move? Can I have a

355
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: pina colada, a banana dachrie and I'll take a regular

356
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,480
Speaker 1: dachiri and I'll take a strawberry Dachirie. I made the

357
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: best strawberry dacries. Take real strawberries. You fill it up

358
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: halfway in the blender. Then you put in a little

359
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: bit of heavy cream just so it goes from a

360
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 1: dark red color to a little lightish pink color. It

361
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: really makes a big difference. And then you put in

362
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 1: a ton of sugar to sweeten it out. And then

363
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 1: you put in your rum and your strawberry liqueur, pile

364
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 1: it on with ice and mix it and it comes out.

365
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 1: You put an umbrella and then you're done. That's simple.

366
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: Maybe that's missing from the healthcare meetings. Maybe they need

367
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: some booths. Maybe I'll send over a case of Jamieson.

368
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: See if they can't get these guys moving. Maybe I'll

369
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 1: lock them in the room with pizza, Jamieson's, bud, Cora's light,

370
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 1: whatever they want, and they can't leave the room until

371
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 1: I'll keep sending in food until they can't take being

372
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 1: around each other anymore and they get the healthcare bill done.

373
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: That's what I've been saying. Bring in all the different

374
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 1: think tanks, because these guys are smart. The health the

375
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:49,399
Speaker 1: Heritage Foundation is full of smart people. Club for Growth,

376
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: smart people Bring in the Tea Party, patriot people, bring

377
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: in the Cato Institute. Let them advise them on the

378
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: best bill that's going to lower premiums and give but

379
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: better care, more choices, and more options. Let's see what's

380
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 1: so hard about this. They had eight years to prepare

381
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: for this moment. Eight years, all right, I want to

382
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: move on. The President said to The New York Times

383
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: today that former National Security advisor Susan Rice may have

384
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: committed a crime by asking for the names of people

385
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: who were mentioned in these intercepted communications. In other words,

386
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 1: the unmasking. He says, I think it's going to be

387
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: the biggest story. I agree with the President is this

388
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: is watergate on steroids and human growth hormone at massively

389
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: high doses and levels huge anyway, that's what he said.

390
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: He declined requests for evidence. It's not the president's job.

391
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: Media Research points out. Brent Bozell points out, the liberal

392
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: media there's nothing to see here. That's their approach to

393
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: Susan Rice's politically motivated unmasking of Trump and his associates

394
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 1: as both the canad Date and as a president elect.

395
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,119
Speaker 1: Oh that's nothing. Do you not understand where weaponizing and

396
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 1: politicizing intelligence gathering in the country. We're absolutely wiping and

397
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: stomping on the Constitution and our Fourth Amendment rights against

398
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 1: unreasonable search and seizure, our First Amendment rights for freedom

399
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: of expression. This is the beginning of a police state

400
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: if this takes hold. That's how dangerous this is. But

401
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: you notice we never get to the bottom of anything,

402
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: And that's Congress's fault again. Why has Hillary Clinton gotten

403
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: away with her email server and a mom and pop

404
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,399
Speaker 1: shop bathroom in a bathroom closet and all the lies

405
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 1: that she told? How did she get away with giving

406
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: twenty percent of America's uranium by signing off as Secretary

407
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: State at the exact same time and leading up to

408
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: the time where she signed off on it, when all

409
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: this money is being funneled through surrogates of these companies

410
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: into the Clinton Foundation, and her husband's getting double as

411
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: speaking rate and mosque out. And that we've had eight

412
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: months of no evidence conspiracy theory advancement by the mainstream media.

413
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:09,840
Speaker 1: You know, remember when Donald Trump put out that he

414
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,320
Speaker 1: had been wire tapped, He was right, Donald Trump told

415
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: the truth. I'm going to do this in my opening

416
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 1: monologue on Hannity tonight. So what did they do? They ridiculed,

417
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: they mocked, they bashed Donald Trump. Now that Donald Trump

418
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: has been proven right, where's their apology and corrections? You know,

419
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: Trump colluded with the Russians to win the election. It

420
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: is a totally debunked, baseless claim that the mainstream media

421
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,479
Speaker 1: has now been focused on without a shred of evidence

422
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 1: for eight months. Remember when Devin Nuness announced that he'd

423
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,359
Speaker 1: seen in credible evidence that Trump and members of his

424
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: transition team had been caught up in this incidental surveillance

425
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: where the names were amassed. Well, they didn't practice minimization,

426
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: they didn't practice protecting the names of Americans, which is

427
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 1: standard operating procedure. Newness also revealed that intel was shared

428
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: among high level Obama administration officials. So instead of the

429
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: media is seeing the weaponization for political purposes of intelligence

430
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,119
Speaker 1: and politicizing intelligence. No, the way that they want to

431
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: go after Devin Newness, What did he do wrong except

432
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 1: report the truth and these shocking revelations. So they react

433
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: by besmirching him, and then the destroyed Trump propaganda media

434
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,879
Speaker 1: is out there smearing anybody and everybody who doesn't echo

435
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: their biased agenda. But we do have some real reporters

436
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 1: and investigative reporters like Sarah Carter and some people at

437
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: Fox and others, but not a lot of them. And

438
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 1: then you got new so called news networks and they

439
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: won't even cover the story. Susan Rice contradicts herself from

440
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,680
Speaker 1: what she said two weeks ago. You know, you've got

441
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: the mister Obama gasm thrill up his leg, Chris Matthews

442
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: and others taking the low road accusing Republicans of being

443
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: racist and sexist for pointing out Susan Rice as a liar.

444
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: Oh my god, this is pathetic. These are insane times.

445
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 1: We're living in. Up is down, Down is up. White

446
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: as black, black as white. And if a liberal tells

447
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: you there's a donut in the sky, you'll say, oh,

448
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: there's a donut in the sky, and you'll get these

449
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: stupid cable hosts that will repeat it and we'regurgitated. They're

450
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 1: beyond dumb, and they're feeding conspiracy after conspiracy. So I

451
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: guess an audience of knitwitz because if you had any

452
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: common sense, you'd be able to see through all of this.

453
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: Earlier today, when I asked about the New York Times

454
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,959
Speaker 1: asked by the New York Times, Trump said, what's true.

455
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: It's such an important story for our country and for

456
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: the world. It's one of the big stories of our time.

457
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 1: Trump is right. So you got a partisan press ignoring

458
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,480
Speaker 1: something that's much bigger than Watergate. They won't give it

459
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: any attention, ignoring the weaponization of intelligence, the politicizing of intelligence.

460
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: Are they ever going to get to the bottom of

461
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 1: who leaked the intel and committed a felony as it

462
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: relates to General Flynn? Well, the media ever apologize for

463
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: ridiculing the President over his surveillance claims now that they've

464
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: been proven he was right, They ever gonna make a correction.

465
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna offer an apology. You know, all these networks,

466
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:32,400
Speaker 1: all of them, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, MS, they're all

467
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: and all their friends in the print media, The Washington Post,

468
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: New York Times, they're all corrupt. They all lied, and

469
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: they never own up to it. Then they claim to

470
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: be fair, and then they don't like people like me.

471
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 1: I'm bad for America. I did their job in vetting Obama.

472
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: They didn't do it. I did their job, you know,

473
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,719
Speaker 1: pointing out that Obama was a rigid radical ideologue, that

474
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: was indoctrinated, and he never broke his indoctrination. I predicted

475
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 1: his presidency would fail. It failed spectacularly. But they never

476
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: told you the truth about that either. All throughout the election,

477
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he got one revelation after another about from

478
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: wiki leaks about collusion between the press and Hillary Clinton's campaign,

479
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: and nobody seems to care or pay attention to it.

480
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: What we did their job there too. Now you've got

481
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: probably the biggest scandal in modern history unfolding before your eyes,

482
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: and they're ignoring that. Also that now proven wrong that

483
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 1: Donald Trump was right about. Okay, maybe he could have

484
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: used the word surveillance instead of wire tapping. If we're

485
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: going to get into a word parsing, smantics and superfluous arguments, okay,

486
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: we can argue he should have used a different word.

487
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: Oh God forbid, he used the wrong word. He didn't

488
00:29:56,480 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 1: say navy corpseman twenty times like Obama did. Nobody in

489
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 1: the media cared to pick up on that, but us.

490
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 1: It's so frustrating. You know, this country, and this is

491
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: why I'm ad at Republicans. It's like we've got all

492
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 1: this work to do, and it's like nobody wants to

493
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 1: do their job. The swamp just wants to stay stay

494
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: on vacation all the time. Think about when you say,

495
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: roll your window down, dial the phone, what do you

496
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: what is that just it's an expression, like you don't

497
00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: actually roll your window down, you hit a button. You know,

498
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: you don't wire tap phones anymore. It's surveillance. It's there's

499
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: no wire attachment to your phone. But the concept is

500
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 1: what you're They were surveilling the conversations exactly, okay, and

501
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: that's technically it's wire tapping. It's surveillance, but wire tapping, surveillance,

502
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,360
Speaker 1: it's all the same thing. It's just an expression. It's

503
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: so ridiculous, it's just absurd. When is the media? Why

504
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: can't they just listen? I gotta admit, in my life,

505
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: I've made so many stupid mistakes. I really have. I've

506
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: been a dope probably half my life. Is it just

507
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: an idiot and I make mistakes? We know what the

508
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: most under utilized world word in the English languages. I'm

509
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: sorry those words. I'm sorry. I apologize. I was wrong.

510
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 1: I was You know, why can't they do that? I mean,

511
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: they're fixated on taking down the Fox News channel. Now,

512
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: it's like twenty four seven, beat up on Fox all

513
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 1: over the place, just outright deceptive, lying in headlines. I

514
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: mean I personally, I don't care when it's about. I

515
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: just don't care. I got better things to do with

516
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 1: my time than give a flying rip about what these

517
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: other people in the media is. Now, do you understand

518
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: why I've never been to a correspondence dinner? You understand

519
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: why I would never go? People said, well, you're gonna

520
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: go this year. Trump's gonna be there. Well, Trump's not

521
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: gonna be there, nor is anybody in its cabinet. But

522
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't go anyway because I don't like these people,

523
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: because I know they're honest to you, and I know

524
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: they don't like me either. So why are we going

525
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: to put on a pretense? All right? Eight hundred nine

526
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 1: for one shown, We're gonna dig deeper. We're doing a

527
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: deep dive into all of this surveillance, all of this unmasking,

528
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: all of this leaking of intelligence, because it happens to

529
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,960
Speaker 1: be the biggest story of our time and the biggest

530
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: scandal you'll probably ever see in your life, weaponizing intelligence,

531
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:38,160
Speaker 1: politicizing raw intelligence. All Right, our two Sean Hannity Show

532
00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: told free. Our telephone numbers eight hundred nine four one

533
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 1: Sean if you want to be a part of the program.

534
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: A top story remains, although we're watching now the constitutional

535
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:50,239
Speaker 1: option being used where by Republicans. Finally we're getting some

536
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: work out of these guys. It's good to see a

537
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:55,160
Speaker 1: little bit of backbone, a little bit of strength. We're

538
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: watching monitoring all of that unfolding. But our good friend

539
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter over at Circa News and John Solomon over

540
00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 1: at Circa News are now advancing this surveillance unmasking, intelligence

541
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: leaking story and their headline today as US spy agencies

542
00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:16,160
Speaker 1: intercept unmasked congressional figures as often as once a month.

543
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: Add to that comments by Congressman Peter King about the

544
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: intelligence reports that center around Susan Rice and the umasking controversy,

545
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:31,000
Speaker 1: and he's describing it as almost resembling a private investigator's file. Quote.

546
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: This is information about their everyday lives. He's a member

547
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 1: of the House Intel Committe's sort of like in a

548
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: divorce case where lawyers are hired and investigators are hired

549
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: just to find out what the other person is doing

550
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 1: from morning until night, and then you try and piece

551
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 1: it together later on, and of course Devin Nunia stepped aside,

552
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 1: recused himself only from the Russia side of the investigation,

553
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: and Trey Goudie and others will be stepping in to

554
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: take his place. Not a smart move by the Democrats,

555
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: of my opinion, and it raises questions about whether Adam Chiff,

556
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 1: who's already jumped to conclusions and is defending Susan Rice,

557
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: whether he should also step aside. Sarah Carter a lot

558
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 1: to get to today. How are you? I'm doing great, Sean?

559
00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 1: Thank you. All right, let's get into this new column

560
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: and layer of the onion you've been able to unpeel here.

561
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 1: Oh yes, I think that this is very significant, to

562
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: the point where not only were we concerned when it

563
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 1: was revealed to us that the unmasking really of congressional

564
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: representatives on the Hill, but the fact that many of

565
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:36,200
Speaker 1: them don't even know they're being unmasked. So we went

566
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 1: back and talked to people who were in charge. Chairman

567
00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 1: Pete Hustra spoke with me last night and I wanted

568
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 1: to know does this happen regularly? I mean, was this

569
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: something that he was familiar with? And he said, this

570
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: absolutely did not happen on a regular basis. At the

571
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: only time they were aware of unmasking of a congressional

572
00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,280
Speaker 1: representatives telephone conversation or intercept with persons overseas. If, for example,

573
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,960
Speaker 1: the congressional representative was approached by somebody, let's say, from

574
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,840
Speaker 1: Russia or the Ukraine or China, and that person was

575
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:14,439
Speaker 1: posing as somebody else and they were trying to talk

576
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 1: to our congressman or about a particular issue. So if

577
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: the intelligence community knew that the person that was in

578
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 1: communication or reaching out to somebody in Congress was a spy,

579
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: was working with the FSB in Russia or something else,

580
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:31,680
Speaker 1: then they may take that to the Gang of Eight

581
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: or to the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and say, look,

582
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 1: you know, we know that Congressman so and so was

583
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: approached by this person. Would you please, you know, inform

584
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 1: them or should we inform them that they have been

585
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: approached by a spy? And that was the only time,

586
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: And he said that was extraordinarily rare, but that this

587
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,720
Speaker 1: is happening once a month, and that other congressional members

588
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: have no idea that they have been unmasked is deeply concerning,

589
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: not just to him, but also Senator Grassley, who we

590
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 1: spoke with the House Judiciary Committee and others as well

591
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: on background. Let's talk about what Peter King said, What

592
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 1: do you know about that? Well, this is very interesting.

593
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: Remember this was what our sources had originally told us

594
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 1: that the concern wasn't just about that they were requesting

595
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: the unmasking, but it appeared to be a type of

596
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,439
Speaker 1: weaponization of intelligence or political espionagests. They were gathering too

597
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: much information that it exceeded far beyond Russia. And so

598
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: I think there is a point there that if they're

599
00:36:33,920 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: building up these types of dossiers on people, if they're

600
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: looking at everything that they're doing, if this turns out

601
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:44,319
Speaker 1: to be true, then I think that certainly elevates this

602
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 1: to a whole new level shine because what we're saying

603
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: is the Fourth Amendments the foundation to our right for privacy,

604
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 1: which is really what America is based on. It's based

605
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 1: on this republic where we're guaranteed certain rights, where we're

606
00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: hearing to the right not to be listen to or

607
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 1: followed to, I mean without warrant, without warrant. This raises

608
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: it to a whole new level. When people in power

609
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 1: have this capability and are able to access private information.

610
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: We have to be very very concerned. It sounds to

611
00:37:15,280 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: me like this has nothing to do with Russia at

612
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,239
Speaker 1: all in any way, shape, matter, or form. And can

613
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 1: you go a little bit deeper into what you have

614
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: discovered as it leads as it relates to, for example,

615
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 1: the so called Gates notifications, and you know, named after

616
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 1: Robert Gates, which goes to the Gang of Eight in Congress,

617
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: and you have now top members and congressional figures now

618
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: being intercepted and unmasked as often as once a month.

619
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: I mean, this to me sounds so intrusive. Well, and

620
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: to others. It's not just to you. I mean this

621
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,439
Speaker 1: is intrusive on many different levels. And this is going

622
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: to be another part of this investigation, right. I mean

623
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,879
Speaker 1: we're looking at the Gang of Eight. So what that

624
00:37:57,920 --> 00:38:02,280
Speaker 1: includes is the House Speaker, the Minority lead, the Democratic leaders,

625
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 1: Senate Republicans, and bipartisan heads of the chambers of the

626
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: intelligence committees. So now you're thinking that they're delivering this

627
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 1: information and it's going and unredacted to the Executive Branch

628
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: intelligence report. So this is going all the way up

629
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: to the top dogs in the White House, right, So

630
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 1: they're going to have access to these intercepts and they're

631
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: going to be able to see them. And now the

632
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: congressional representatives if they weren't told, right, if it wasn't involving,

633
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: for example, maybe being approached by a spy from another country,

634
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,959
Speaker 1: which happened. I mean, intercepting these calls is not rare.

635
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: And that's something that Pete Hochster made very clear. He said,

636
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: you know, the fact that they intercept calls like this

637
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 1: is not unreasonable because there's five hundred and thirty five

638
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 1: members and their assistant. Yeah, but you also say in

639
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:52,880
Speaker 1: your article it was rare during his tenure to be

640
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: alerted that a lawmaker congressional stafford had been on masks

641
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 1: unless there was a serious threat. That's where he says

642
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: a concern comes in. The concern comes in when they

643
00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: are actually unmasked, and then they are not notified that

644
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 1: they've been unmasked, and then this information then reaches you know,

645
00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:13,759
Speaker 1: gets put in adothier up to the highest levels of

646
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,799
Speaker 1: the executive branch, and they're able to see it, but

647
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: the congressional representative can't see it or their aids. They

648
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: don't know that they've been unmasked, so they're they're left

649
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: out in the dark, right, and then we have to

650
00:39:25,960 --> 00:39:29,280
Speaker 1: ask ourselves what was the information, what was the request

651
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:32,799
Speaker 1: for unmasking this, Why were they unmasked? And I think

652
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 1: those are the answers that well the Executive Branch and

653
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: the Intelligence community need to answer, because those are sure

654
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,359
Speaker 1: sure enough being questioned right now as violation of their

655
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: Fourth Amendment and First Amendment rights. Yeah, you talk about

656
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: three years ago the Charles Grassley was alerted to that

657
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 1: a government whistleblowers communication with his staff was obtained by

658
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: the intelligence community. I mean that to me is so outrageous. Well, yeah,

659
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: and then the fact that he didn't even and really

660
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: talk about that publicly, and then when he heard about this,

661
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: he's like, look, we really need we really need to

662
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: take a good look at what's going on here. I mean,

663
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:12,120
Speaker 1: we have whistleblowers going to Charles Grassley. I mean I

664
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,800
Speaker 1: have people you know now coming out of the woodwork

665
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: because they realize that this has been happening all the

666
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: time and they want to share this information. I mean,

667
00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,600
Speaker 1: remember when the CIA was it was forced to admit

668
00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: that some of its employees spied into the computers of

669
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,160
Speaker 1: Democratic staffers, and we talk about that in our story too,

670
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: and Senator Diane Einstein. So I mean grassly acknowledged that

671
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,759
Speaker 1: this is a very serious problem. And remember this comes

672
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,400
Speaker 1: up for review this year in the Judiciary Committee, this

673
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: expansion of the FISA, these expansions that I actually allowed

674
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: people to request these unmaskings with such little information. So

675
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: we've said this before, and I've said this on your

676
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,120
Speaker 1: show before, where they can just basically write down Susan

677
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: Rice could request the unmasking of a certain phone intercept,

678
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: and all she would have to say is for national

679
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: security purpose. Well that can mean anything, and just putting

680
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 1: that down would allow her to unmask. So it wasn't

681
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 1: like she had to give a lot of justification for

682
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: unmasking people. And now we see it was happening. Well,

683
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: that goes to the rules that Obama got approved by

684
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: the Fiser Review Court in twenty eleven, which was your

685
00:41:18,239 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 1: earlier breakthrough report. Now we're seeing the magnitude of that

686
00:41:22,400 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: rule change. And I guess you know, to me, what

687
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: where this seems to be headed? And I don't see

688
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: any other justification. I can't think of any other possible

689
00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:36,080
Speaker 1: reason in my own mind. It seems to be going

690
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:38,400
Speaker 1: to where I believe it is, and that is, we

691
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:43,359
Speaker 1: have weaponized and we have politicized our intelligence community more

692
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: and more. My suspicion goes to the higher echelon of

693
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:55,399
Speaker 1: government and government spy agencies, meaning like ie CIA Director Brennan. Well,

694
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: certainly a lot of there's going to be a lot

695
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:02,520
Speaker 1: of questions, especially when it when it comes to the CIA.

696
00:42:02,600 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: By the way, whenever, whenever you start saying, like when

697
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: you slow down, I know you're being very careful with

698
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 1: your words. Let's go back to my original question. What

699
00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: I see happening here is the weaponization of intelligence, politicizing intelligence,

700
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:22,160
Speaker 1: and it all the only logical place this goes as

701
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 1: to those in the upper echelon, people like CIA Director Brennan.

702
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: Now you start talking slowly and carefully. Go ahead, You're

703
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna make me talk slow. We have to be very careful.

704
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 1: That's why I'm talking slowly. That's why I'm asking. All

705
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 1: of this has to be based on evidence, right, we

706
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: have to agree, prove it public. That's why I'm asking

707
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: a question. But it does, it does. I am an

708
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: awful human being. I don't even know why you come

709
00:42:52,600 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 1: on my show, but I'm but but I need we

710
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:58,799
Speaker 1: need a serious answer to that, because to me, that's you. Yes,

711
00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 1: we do, and I what I can say is this,

712
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, when we looked at these documents, and the

713
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 1: scope didn't just focus on the Congress, it focused also

714
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 1: as well. And if you look at some of the

715
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:13,839
Speaker 1: documents that we have posted we've attached to Circa dot

716
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: com inside our stories, you'll see a very interesting, interesting

717
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: point that you're trying to make. There were journalists, clergy, doctors,

718
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:33,200
Speaker 1: lawyers that are also included in these rules on FISA intercepts. Okay,

719
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 1: so it's very interesting how the FBI intercepts people and

720
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:43,360
Speaker 1: unmasks them. In twenty fifteen, it became very specific. And

721
00:43:43,480 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: this is very important, Shine, because this was something that

722
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: you had asked me about, you know, just yesterday, and

723
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 1: when we were talking about this, you know, we're journalists

724
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: swept up in this, all right. No, I got to

725
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: ask you when we get back, is if you found

726
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,879
Speaker 1: any information? I mean, do you know how many people

727
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:02,600
Speaker 1: are writing me telling me I have been surveiled and unmasked.

728
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: I have not been able to confirm that, but unless

729
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:08,160
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter from Circuit News, when we get back in

730
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:13,240

00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,760
Speaker 1: come back. We'll continue with Sarah and at the bottom

736
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 1: of the hour and Culter joins us to weigh in

737
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,880
Speaker 1: on this and Neil Gorsuch and the constitutional options. So

738
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: right when we come back, and Coulter joins us on

739
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 1: Neil Gorsuch and the constitutional option, and of course the

740
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 1: latest on what is now becoming I guess you can

741
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: call it, I guess the politicization of the intel community

742
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: and the weaponizing of the intelligence community. All right, that's

743
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: up next with Culter and then your calls in the

744

Speaker 1: final hour, bite sized version of the show that you

745
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 1: can take with you to sign up today for Hannity

746
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:03,720
Speaker 1: Headlines Kennedy dot com. All Right, as we continue, Sarah

747
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 1: Carter now, who has been doing incredible investigative work on

748
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:11,799
Speaker 1: this whole issue of surveillance and unmasking and leaking of intelligence.

749
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: She is a senior national correspondent for Circa dot com,

750
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: and she along with John Solomon, have their latest piece

751
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: out today about how US by agencies intercept and unmasked

752
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:24,960
Speaker 1: congressional figures as often as once a month. And we

753
00:45:25,040 --> 00:45:28,360
Speaker 1: have Peter King on record saying that, well, the information

754
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: that was being gleaned by Susan Rice's unmasking, etc. Contained

755
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 1: personal dirt on people associated with Donald Trump. He described

756
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: it as news and information about their everyday lives. Like

757
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,399
Speaker 1: a divorce case. We have attorneys and investigators looking into

758
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 1: what a spouse is doing to the other spouse. All right,

759
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 1: So I know you probably because you're all over the story.

760
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: Maybe people have asked you about me in this case.

761
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: But I mean I'm getting asked by everybody every single

762
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 1: minute of every day, and I don't have an answer,

763
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,360
Speaker 1: and I'm just reading what everybody else is reading, and

764
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: I haven't gotten any word back as of yet. I mean,

765
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: what is all of this about me? And this whole thing? Yeah, well,

766
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,360
Speaker 1: I think that you know, people obviously see you. I

767
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 1: mean you've been very outspoken, You've had a very close

768
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 1: relationship with President Trump, and of course you're swept up

769
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:18,360
Speaker 1: into this whirlwind of controversy, and I think you have

770
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 1: a right to be concerned and wonder if you know

771
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 1: there was any unmasking of your phone conversations. Now, remember

772
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: it would be conversations that you would have had from

773
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 1: the United States to somebody foreign, or they could have

774
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: rerouted it foreign to foreign back over to somebody else

775
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: that was talking about you. So there's very interesting ways

776
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,840
Speaker 1: and different kinds of loopholes that would allow people to

777
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: unmask and find out more information about you. Like I said,

778
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:45,879
Speaker 1: you've interviewed Julianna Sange many times. If you had conversations

779
00:46:45,920 --> 00:46:48,400
Speaker 1: with him on your cell phone, very easily your name

780
00:46:48,440 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: could have been unmask Shaun. The thing is, we don't know,

781
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 1: right because they are such highly classified document and unless

782
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 1: somebody's willing to leak that information, unless someone's willing to

783
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,600
Speaker 1: share that information. So I need, if I need, a

784
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 1: friend inside the intelligence community that knows about it that

785
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,600
Speaker 1: would give me that information. Wouldn't that look I don't.

786
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm being very clear about this. I cannot confirm or

787
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 1: corroborate this in any way, and I'm only reading what

788
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:13,800
Speaker 1: other people are reading. But wouldn't that open up for

789
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: me a right for civil litigation and civil action against

790
00:47:17,600 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 1: those people? That surveiled and unmasked me. You know, I'm

791
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 1: not a lawyer, but I believe it would. I believe

792
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 1: it would because there are certain Amendment rights, and you know,

793
00:47:25,920 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 1: we think of certain protections, especially when it comes to

794
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 1: and I don't know, especially when it comes to our

795
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:33,920
Speaker 1: civil liberties, and you know, be able to speak privately

796
00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 1: to someone on a phone, especially when you're not conducting

797
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,160
Speaker 1: and you're not doing anything criminal, when there's no warrant

798
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,800
Speaker 1: for you, when you're just a regular citizen with a

799
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: right to believe the way you want to believe, and

800
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:47,160
Speaker 1: everybody has those right as long as you don't harm

801
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: anyone else or you're not committing a criminal act, you

802
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: should have the right to privacy. But one of the

803
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:55,359
Speaker 1: interesting things that we discovered in our reporting, both John

804
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 1: and I, was that, you know, when the FBI wrote

805
00:47:57,239 --> 00:48:00,320
Speaker 1: the ruled in twenty fifteen, it actually came up with

806
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: this idea like of circumstances in which you know, by

807
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:08,280
Speaker 1: the intercepts could be enmassed and shared in other sensitive

808
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 1: professions like we think, I think of myself as a

809
00:48:10,800 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: journalist as having you know, extra care. They're going to

810
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 1: take extra caution, right because the FBI is really not

811
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: going to want to get involved in investigating me per

812
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,640
Speaker 1: se because I'm trying to report stories. We have sources.

813
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 1: I mean, what happens as long as I'm not violating

814
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 1: any laws, you should not be exactly. I've got to go,

815
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,080
Speaker 1: but I've got to praise you and John. I mean,

816
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 1: you guys are like the Woodward and Bernstein of our time,

817
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:37,200

818

Speaker 1: gonna bring in in Coulter here in just a second.

832
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: But first and foremost, let's let's go over Susan Rice

833
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: lying just two weeks ago on PBS and then totally

834
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: contradicting yourself two days ago on NBC. I know nothing

835
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:41,720
Speaker 1: about this. I was surprised to see reports from Chairman

836
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: Unis on that count today. I mean, let's back up

837
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 1: and recall where we have been. The President of the

838
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 1: United States accused his predecessor, President Obama, wire tapping Trump

839
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 1: Tower during the campaign. Nothing of the sort occurred. Did

840
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 1: you seek the names of people involved in to unmask

841
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 1: the names that people involved in the Trump transition, of

842
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: the Trump campaign, people surrounding the President elect, let me

843
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 1: be ordered to spy on them, and absolutely, absolutely not

844
00:50:13,440 --> 00:50:16,919
Speaker 1: for any political purposes to spy expose anything. I really

845
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: don't know to what Chaman Nunez was referring, but he

846
00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 1: said that whatever he was referring to was a legal,

847
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 1: lawful surveillance and that it was potentially incidental collection on

848
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 1: American citizens. And I think it's important for people to

849
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,239
Speaker 1: understand what incidental means. That means that the target was

850
00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:43,960
Speaker 1: either a foreign entity, or somebody under criminal investigation. But

851
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:49,839
Speaker 1: the fact is that in the President did request back

852
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:54,040
Speaker 1: in December the intelligence community compile all of the information

853
00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 1: that it had on what it transpired during the campaign

854
00:50:57,520 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 1: with respect to the Russians involving them selves in the

855
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: presidential campaign, and that report was provided to the American

856
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: people and unclassified for him into Congress, in classified for

857
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:13,799
Speaker 1: him in early January. Did the pace accelerate during the transition,

858
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:19,480
Speaker 1: perhaps in early December, perhaps when the President ordered investigation

859
00:51:19,560 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: into the hacking, the Russian hacking? Did the pace of

860
00:51:24,320 --> 00:51:28,480
Speaker 1: unmasking requests, if you're unmasking requests accelerate towards the end

861
00:51:28,560 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: of the White House a tenure? And I can't say

862
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: the pace of unmasking requests would accelerate, but if you're

863
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 1: asking where they're more reports provided to senior US officials

864
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: after the President requested the compilation of the intelligence which

865
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:48,600
Speaker 1: was ultimately provided in January. Yes, what happened was, as

866
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,919
Speaker 1: the IC went about the business the intelligence community religencesiness

867
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,480
Speaker 1: of following up on the Presidence order fulfilling the Presidence

868
00:51:54,520 --> 00:51:57,720
Speaker 1: requests for such a report, they went back and scrubbed

869
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: more reports. They began to provide more such reports to

870
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: American officials, including myself. This is not anything politicals has

871
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: been alleged. The allegation is that somehow Obama administration officials

872
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,480
Speaker 1: utilized intelligence for political purposes. That's absolutely false. So it

873
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: goes from knowing nothing to knowing everything and admitting unmasking,

874
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:26,000
Speaker 1: and that means acknowledging surveillance of a candidate and then

875
00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: a president elect and his transition team. And all the

876
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 1: reports now from Sarah Carter goal a step further that

877
00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:34,320
Speaker 1: they were looking not into anything connected to Russia, but

878
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 1: into the personal lives of individuals, which then raises a

879
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 1: lot of questions about how we have weaponized and politicized

880
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: intelligence gathering in the country. And Coulter, author of the

881
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 1: best selling book in Trump We Trust Eat Pluribus, awesome

882
00:52:48,920 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 1: as you have to talk about this and obviously the

883
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 1: constitutional option that is being used today. How are you, thanks?

884
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:56,359
Speaker 1: How are you? I'm good. It's always great to talk

885
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,240
Speaker 1: to you. By the way, I love reading rumors about

886
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,400
Speaker 1: you on the internet. I'm not even going to mention them,

887
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 1: but it was very entertaining from my perspective considering our

888
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: history together. Um, well, for people who don't know basically

889
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:14,400
Speaker 1: any well Gotha columns are always sent in by the agents.

890
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: It was on the AOL Private Life, but basically anyone

891
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,320
Speaker 1: that I am alleged to be dating. You know that

892
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 1: in the universe possible, I am not dating those people.

893
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 1: It was very It actually made the wheel on AOL,

894
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: which I thought was, Wow, this must be huge, and

895
00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 1: uh we are This one has been going around forever.

896
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 1: Jimmy Walker and I are friends, no romance. And he's

897
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 1: a great guy too. I like him a lot and

898
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: a Republican. It's correct, all right, Let's start with the

899
00:53:45,080 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 1: lies and the Papaha Benghazi lies and then contradicting and

900
00:53:48,840 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: then admitting surveillance on masking and Sarah Carter and now

901
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: saying it's about personal lives. Well, it's hilarious that this

902
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,760
Speaker 1: has gone. I mean, everything Trump says is hysterically denounced,

903
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:02,680
Speaker 1: and usually within two days as it's proved true from

904
00:54:02,719 --> 00:54:07,399
Speaker 1: the hysteria over at the very beginning, Um, Mexico isn't

905
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 1: sending their best And then you know what, a week

906
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: later we get Kate Steinley, Um, we had the um,

907
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,319
Speaker 1: look at what's happening in Sweden? What are you talking about?

908
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,520
Speaker 1: Sweden is the safest place in the World's huge riot

909
00:54:19,719 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 1: Muslim rides blow up, and now we've gone to I mean,

910
00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: this is one of the most stunning turnabouts I've seen

911
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 1: from Trump. Means to apologize to Obama for accusing him

912
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 1: of committing a felony and spying on the Trump campaign

913
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:36,400
Speaker 1: to well, yeah, we were spying, but it wasn't political

914
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: and it wasn't too love. We do it everybody. It's

915
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:42,560
Speaker 1: the craziest turnabout, and now you know, we at least

916
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 1: understand m. It seems like kind of overkill to be

917
00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 1: so upset about Hillary losing, um, for Democrats and the

918
00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: media to obsess on this nothing burger Russia story um,

919
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,759
Speaker 1: which is completely collapsed um. And I wrote a little

920
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:02,120
Speaker 1: about that this week. But now we see why they

921
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: were doing it. This was going to be their excuse

922
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: when they get exposed for spying on private citizens, unmasking

923
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: them from the White House itself. I mean, it's getting

924
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 1: to the point where we're going to find that Obama

925
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 1: was actually crawling around, you know, wiring Trump power. The

926
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: way things are going with their story unraveling, but now

927
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,439
Speaker 1: this is going to be their defense. Well, we had

928
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: to because of this fear of Russian collusion with the

929
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,880
Speaker 1: Trump team, And if I could just mention one thing

930
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 1: that hasn't been hasn't been talked about because there's no

931
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 1: evidence for Russia trying to influence the election. What I

932
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 1: wrote about this week because I hadn't seen anyone else

933
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: say this. The basic story, apart from the absence of evidence,

934
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: the basic story is is cockamami. Their claim is Russia

935
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 1: wanted Trump to win point one point two, that their

936
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:58,040
Speaker 1: dastardly planned for accomplishing making from the President of the

937
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 1: United States was to get in and release emails from

938
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: the DNC showing that the DNC was being horrible to

939
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 1: Bernie Sanders. It's just a crazy theory on every level.

940
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 1: This is that Russia is a nation trained in spycraft. Um,

941
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 1: we didn't even know. We American experts, in politicans didn't

942
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 1: know how this election was going to turn out. I

943
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: remember the Democrats were praying, Oh, we want to run

944
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:28,000
Speaker 1: against Trump. Pah, this is disaster for Republicans. M The

945
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,279
Speaker 1: day of the election, New York Times had Hillary with

946
00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 1: a ninety one percent chance of winning. But oh and

947
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:38,080
Speaker 1: plus the idea that Russia would not want to deal

948
00:56:38,160 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 1: with the corrupt, biable president Hillary Clinton, but rather a

949
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 1: loose cannon who wants to drill Donald Trump. But how

950
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,520
Speaker 1: are releasing these emails with the DNC and W Washington

951
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 1: going after Bernie Sanders? How does that help Trump? It

952
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 1: could have been the worst thing that happened to Trump.

953
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: The Democrats might have gotten their act together and said,

954
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,600
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, taking us down to defeat. We've got

955
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:05,080
Speaker 1: to have a come to Jesus moment with with Hillary

956
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: and tell her she's got to drop out. We're running

957
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. You just never know how these things are

958
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 1: going to affect an election, and the idea that this

959
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 1: was Russia's idea. Add to that the fact that Julian Assange,

960
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,200
Speaker 1: I mean, quite obviously the logical leaker here is someone

961
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 1: within the DNC who thought Hillary's taking us down to defeat.

962
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,200
Speaker 1: We've had it with the David Brox and the de

963
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: Wie Wasserman. Schulza's um leaking this stuff. And that's what

964
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: Julian Assange says, as well as one of his associates.

965
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: That's where they say it came from a DNC whistleblower,

966
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 1: which is the only story that makes sense. Well, it

967
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 1: was actually one of his associates. He's never confirmed. I

968
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: did ask him when I had a chance to interview him.

969
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny how he comes under fire. But

970
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:49,600
Speaker 1: the New York Times printed everything he printed. Well, he

971
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,479
Speaker 1: did clearly say it's not roche. He'd say, he said

972
00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: that the guy who collected it um allegedly he describes

973
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 1: where it was a DNC whistle blow were past him,

974
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 1: the emails. It was a park near American University. And

975
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: whatever you think of it, Julian Assaji, maybe you know

976
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: a reckless zealot. Nobody says he's a liar. He's very

977
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,360
Speaker 1: nearly the opposite. He's, you know, maybe a little too

978
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,800
Speaker 1: self righteous, but he's not the kind of person who lives.

979
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 1: He says, not Russia. It's a d NC whistleblower. And again,

980
00:58:18,360 --> 00:58:21,439
Speaker 1: the whole story. It only makes sense of the DNC whistleblower.

981
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 1: But now we see lives. They're so obsessed with these

982
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: weird connections and really crazy conspiracy theories, which is always

983
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 1: a specialty of the left. They need to pretend there's

984
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 1: some sort of collusion between Trump and Russia to explain

985
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 1: why they were using the apparatus of the federal government,

986
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 1: national security, deep state intelligence to spy on political opponents. Well,

987
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: and it gets deeper, and this goes to the heart

988
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:52,080
Speaker 1: of Sarah Carter's big breakthrough article today, and that is

989
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:55,960
Speaker 1: that not only were they surveiling and unmasking and in

990
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 1: the case of general fun leaking, which is a felony,

991
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:02,240
Speaker 1: but we now find out that almost it resembled almost

992
00:59:02,280 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: a private investigator's file, and the information is about people's

993
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,880
Speaker 1: everyday lives. And that's confirmed by Peter King of New York,

994
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:12,160
Speaker 1: the congressman. He said, it's sort of like in a

995
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,360
Speaker 1: divorce case where the lawyers are hired, investigators are hired

996
00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: just to find out what the other person is doing

997
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: morning until night, until you try and piece it together, right, right,

998
00:59:21,200 --> 00:59:25,120
Speaker 1: And that's a police state. And this is now I know, well,

999
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,479
Speaker 1: the police state is now in the control of Donald Trump,

1000
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: and I think they got to start declassifying and releasing

1001
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 1: all this stuff. I mean, I suspect what they're doing

1002
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: is allowing the Democrats to go out more and more

1003
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,600
Speaker 1: and more on a limb before revealing the truth. But

1004
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 1: this is now in the control of President Trump, and

1005
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,760
Speaker 1: it may be I doubt it'll be particularly embarrassing. It

1006
00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 1: might be a little embarrassing for some people who are

1007
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 1: being secretly surveiled, but I think it's worth it. This

1008
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: is a pretty shocking I may have to hire you

1009
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,640
Speaker 1: as my lawyer too, because I got Jay Seculo and

1010
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Joe Degeneva and maybe I'll get you in Levine and

1011
01:00:03,040 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: part of my team. If I was surveiled in a

1012
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 1: mass what do you think, Oh, you're just gonna be

1013
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: talking about the Penny plan. It'll be fine. See thanks

1014
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: a lot, and you know, just at least let's create

1015
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: an image that it might be a little more interesting

1016
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 1: than that. You know, you can demand that your tapes

1017
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 1: be released because I'm want to see them all. I mean,

1018
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: if they were going after you, I have no problem.

1019
01:00:23,320 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I have no problem if they were. I mean that

1020
01:00:26,160 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: he only does show how crazy and how political. No,

1021
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: that's just it's tied in with the whole there's obsession

1022
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: with Bill O'Reilly right now. And if we could just

1023
01:00:34,800 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 1: have a little footnote on that. What Fox News compared

1024
01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:45,280
Speaker 1: to other cable networks. Good grief at one prominent cable networks.

1025
01:00:45,760 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 1: And I know it's unbelievable. You and I know more

1026
01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: stories and by the way, also the heads and networks,

1027
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 1: if you know what I'm talking about. Stay right there.

1028
01:00:54,080 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break more within culture, all right,

1029
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:06,040
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show News Round Up, Information Overload Hour coming

1030
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:08,280
Speaker 1: up at the top of the next hour. Our buddy

1031
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Rick Unger is here to get beaten up again today.

1032
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,440
Speaker 1: I don't know why it comes back for more punishment.

1033
01:01:12,480 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 1: He's going to join us in studio in a minute.

1034
01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:16,560
Speaker 1: We continue with Ann Coulter. All right. So, I don't

1035
01:01:16,600 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 1: know if I like the term nuclear option, I would

1036
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: call it the Harry Read precedent, or I'd call it

1037
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,520
Speaker 1: the constitutional option. And that is this is the first

1038
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: time in a couple of hundred years that, for purely

1039
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: partisan reasons, you have a political party that won't allow

1040
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: an up or down vote. So Republicans finally are showing

1041
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of backbone. I've got to give him

1042
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: credit on this. Yes, I'm so glad you asked about

1043
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: this because I know other people have jobs, they don't

1044
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 1: sit around reading all day like I do. And I

1045
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 1: think conservatives should know the truth about this. And the

1046
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 1: truth is the supermajority requirements are absolutely unconstitutional. The Constitution

1047
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: clearly expected majority votes for basically everything in the Senate,

1048
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:03,720
Speaker 1: and when it is not those cases are expressly identified.

1049
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: There are five cases where you need a two thirds

1050
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:10,800
Speaker 1: vote to pass something in the US Senate. One impeachment,

1051
01:02:11,640 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: two expulsions, three to override a presidential veto, four treaties,

1052
01:02:18,240 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: and five to pass a constitutional amendment. Now, what sense

1053
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:25,640
Speaker 1: does it make for the Constitution to expressly say, after

1054
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: Congress passes a law sends it to the president, the

1055
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: president vetos that you can override that Vito with a

1056
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,440
Speaker 1: two thirds vote. But wait, now, suddenly we need a

1057
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: two thirds vote to even pass the law in the

1058
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 1: first place. It makes no sense. This is an unconstitutional

1059
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 1: rule that's been invented by the Senate. I don't know

1060
01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,959
Speaker 1: if anyone's ever challenged or if the courts would feel

1061
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 1: like they had a right to rule on a political

1062
01:02:50,040 --> 01:02:52,520
Speaker 1: rule of the Senate. But all we're doing with the

1063
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:57,080
Speaker 1: so called nuclear option is getting back to a constitutional

1064
01:02:57,200 --> 01:02:59,280
Speaker 1: method of voting. And by the way, sometimes this will

1065
01:02:59,320 --> 01:03:02,720
Speaker 1: go against us. I'm not saying this with passion because

1066
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: Republicans have a majority right now. They wouldn't have needed

1067
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 1: Al Franken's vote to pass that monstrosity obanare, But it

1068
01:03:11,480 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: is the way the constitution is written. And I think

1069
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 1: our constitutional framers are smarter than we are. Yeah, I

1070
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: think so too, and I've been proven right again and

1071
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 1: again over time. What do you think about expanding it

1072
01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:26,960
Speaker 1: or broadening these rules changes beyond just judiciary appointments. Absolutely,

1073
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:28,960
Speaker 1: as I was just saying, to pass a law, it

1074
01:03:29,040 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't be a majority vote. Now, look, that doesn't mean

1075
01:03:31,720 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 1: the Senate can have rules. They keep defending this two

1076
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:37,480
Speaker 1: thirds vote is saying, well, we have to the minority

1077
01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 1: have be able to chit chat. Okay, you can listen

1078
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:42,440
Speaker 1: to their views. There are other things you can do.

1079
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 1: We can say we'll give you an hour. We can

1080
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 1: say you can filibuster. Go ahead, but you got to

1081
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: stand on the floor and filibuster. But but no, that

1082
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,919
Speaker 1: in fact, I mean, as many constitutional scholars have written about,

1083
01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 1: that was part of the reason the Articles of Confederation

1084
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 1: were dumb time we moved to a constitution, and also

1085
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 1: the whole mood of the country after the revolution was

1086
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:08,960
Speaker 1: we're sick of being ruled by a tiny minority of elite.

1087
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,480
Speaker 1: We don't want to be bossed around. Yes, we don't

1088
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:14,440
Speaker 1: have a pure democracy, but when it comes to our

1089
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 1: representatives in Congress, it is supposed to be majority wins,

1090
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 1: not some special two thirds law. No again, that's for

1091
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,919
Speaker 1: our train. I gotta I'm up on a clock here.

1092
01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:27,600
Speaker 1: But m E plurib is awesome. And Caulter's new book

1093
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: and we could talk forever as always. We love having

1094
01:04:29,880 --> 01:04:32,320
Speaker 1: you on. Thank you, Anne. And these are interesting times,

1095
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 1: aren't they? In Trump We truck, Yes, ma'am. Flora is awesome.

1096
01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 1: All right, Thank you, Ann Caulter. When we come back,

1097
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: News Roundup, Information Overload, right, News Roundup, Information Overload hour

1098
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:51,480
Speaker 1: here on the Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine

1099
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 1: four one, Sean, Oh, we got little Chucky Schumer, of course,

1100
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,840
Speaker 1: crybaby Schumer, and he's out there attacking the president, trying

1101
01:04:59,880 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: to sounds like a tough guy. Mister, mister filibuster himself,

1102
01:05:04,200 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: mister obstructionists himselves. Listen to this. When Donald Trump campaigned,

1103
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 1: one of the main issues he campaigned on was that

1104
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:18,360
Speaker 1: China takes us out to lunch, stealing millions of American jobs,

1105
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: trillions of American dollars in wealth through unfair trade practices.

1106
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: And yet since Donald Trump has become president, when it

1107
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: comes to trade. His policies make America look like a

1108
01:05:30,640 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: ninety eight pound weekling. He has done virtually nothing. Isn't

1109
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:38,240
Speaker 1: this the same cry baby Schumer we've known about forever.

1110
01:05:40,520 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 1: I named my daughter her middle name is Emma, named

1111
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:48,000
Speaker 1: for Emma Lazarus, the great poet who wrote those lines

1112
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:53,000
Speaker 1: on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. Give me

1113
01:05:53,120 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: you're tired, you're poor, You're huddled masses yearning to breathe.

1114
01:05:57,560 --> 01:06:12,160
Speaker 1: Three free what we cost? So this executive order, it

1115
01:06:12,280 --> 01:06:19,040
Speaker 1: was mean spirited American who was implemented in a way

1116
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: that created chaos and confusion across the country, and it

1117
01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:27,200
Speaker 1: will only serve to embolden and inspire those around the

1118
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,360
Speaker 1: globe who will do us harm. I noticed that Chuck

1119
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,760
Speaker 1: show me yesterday with fake tears. I'm going to ask

1120
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: him who was his acting coach, because I know very

1121
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 1: well I don't see him as a crier. If he is,

1122
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: he's a different man. It was about a five percent

1123
01:06:43,800 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: chance that it was real, but I think there were

1124
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: fake tears. I say, where was the outrage of the

1125
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,960
Speaker 1: Democrats when all of our companies were fleeing to Mexico

1126
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: and to other places far away and leaving your jobs behind.

1127
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 1: Now they're all coming back. Uh, Johnny Us now, Rick

1128
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:04,480
Speaker 1: Hunger and Jonathan Gillham. We're going over all the news

1129
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,880
Speaker 1: of the day, which is veried. Top story obviously remains surveillance.

1130
01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 1: Now we've discovered that they're literally looking into the private

1131
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: lives like divorce hearings of Trump associates and of course

1132
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:20,120
Speaker 1: the Republicans. Who's in the constitutional option? Uh, mister Unger,

1133
01:07:20,160 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 1: you want to weigh in on your your buddy Chucky.

1134
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 1: You love Chucky, don't you chuck e cheese? Actually I

1135
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 1: got a bigger kick out of hearing Kray there. That

1136
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 1: was pretty good. Uh. You know, listen, I don't know

1137
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 1: why Chucky is so upset because that executive order he

1138
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 1: was crying about it's still stuck in the courts. You

1139
01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:40,080
Speaker 1: mean you're judge shopping little technique worked? Is that what

1140
01:07:40,160 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 1: your suggestion? Shopping? Oh? Come on, they want judge shopping

1141
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 1: based on the states. Yeah, I guess that's probably too.

1142
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,120
Speaker 1: You pick states that are gonna exactly except that it

1143
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: doesn't entirely work out because the states end up coming together. Uh.

1144
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, Well, then they know they're

1145
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: going to the ninth. Ninth Circuit's gonna surprise you, now,

1146
01:07:57,840 --> 01:07:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't. I think the Ninth Circuit's gonna come down

1147
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: in a different way. But well, the Ninth Circuit is

1148
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 1: embarrassed because about over eighty percent of the time they

1149
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: are overturned. They I thought the Ninth Circuit was right

1150
01:08:07,240 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: the first time around. I think it's hard to make

1151
01:08:09,120 --> 01:08:11,560
Speaker 1: the case this time around. What do you think, Jonathan,

1152
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,400
Speaker 1: I think Chuck Schumer when he talks, it's like this,

1153
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 1: that's not Chuck humor at all. That is so bad.

1154
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 1: That is not a good Chuck Schumer. It's it's a

1155
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 1: little bit off. He has a little more rasp in

1156
01:08:22,600 --> 01:08:25,479
Speaker 1: his voice. But I'm I'm really scary. I'm really worried

1157
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 1: now because I'm afraid that Muslim I call him fundamentalist,

1158
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,160
Speaker 1: everybody else calls him extremists are going to attack us

1159
01:08:32,240 --> 01:08:36,360
Speaker 1: now because somebody is well, first of all, he misquoted

1160
01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:40,479
Speaker 1: what the Statue of Liberty says. But I don't think that. Uh,

1161
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:44,360
Speaker 1: I don't think you have to worry. Yeah, yeah, right,

1162
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 1: you know what, Listen, I know we're joking about this,

1163
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 1: but this is the perfect example of why we're in

1164
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:53,560
Speaker 1: the mess. That we're in in this country because we

1165
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,360
Speaker 1: of these political games. He's talking about Trump as though

1166
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,720
Speaker 1: he's been in office for years and years. He's been

1167
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 1: in off us three months. He hasn't done There's nothing

1168
01:09:03,320 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: that has been able to be done where we see

1169
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 1: lasting effects. So I don't know what this guy saw

1170
01:09:08,920 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 1: to do this, but I'm going to agree with you

1171
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,560
Speaker 1: on that. Look, I have seen. I have seen the

1172
01:09:13,640 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: memo that got leaked with respect to what Trump's plans

1173
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: are with renegotiating on NAFTA, and I will tell you

1174
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,160
Speaker 1: I was a little surprised that it was as soft

1175
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 1: as as it was, and we'll see if that holds up.

1176
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:28,840
Speaker 1: But no, I mean, after three months, I'm not sure

1177
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 1: you can say that he's done nothing on trade because

1178
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you could expect him to do something

1179
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:36,800
Speaker 1: yet on trade there's been no negotiation to take place.

1180
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I've you know, I actually when I heard that,

1181
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,799
Speaker 1: I wonder why is Senator Schumer stretching to that degree.

1182
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,200
Speaker 1: There's enough if he wants to go after the president,

1183
01:09:45,280 --> 01:09:47,640
Speaker 1: there's lots there he can pick on it. It's a

1184
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 1: little premature to do it on trade. But I tell

1185
01:09:49,960 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 1: you what I think you I think, Sean, you're going

1186
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,880
Speaker 1: to be disappointed when you see what he has in mind.

1187
01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not his anti trade, so I was not particularly

1188
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 1: disappointed with what he has in mind. You guys, I

1189
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 1: know a stronger point of view on that. The other way,

1190
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:06,360
Speaker 1: I think. I think, I think it's gonna be a

1191
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: negotiation tactic, and I think these these countries that don't

1192
01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:13,720
Speaker 1: practice fair trade with US are are gonna get one

1193
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 1: or two of them will get slapped in the head,

1194
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:17,479
Speaker 1: and then everybody and then everybody else will fall in

1195
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: line because they need this work with the United States.

1196
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: That's possible, all right, So we have the read option,

1197
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 1: and for the first time in a couple of hundred years,

1198
01:10:26,880 --> 01:10:30,240
Speaker 1: we've got a partisan filibuster where Democrats won't allow an

1199
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 1: up or down vote, and you have two former majority

1200
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 1: leaders in the Senate, Bob Dole from Kansas and Trent

1201
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 1: Lott from Mississippi, saying it's time to let it go.

1202
01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:43,439
Speaker 1: And the rules have changed because the Senate has changed,

1203
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,400
Speaker 1: and the Senate has become a bittest bitter partisan become

1204
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 1: the House pretty much. Yeah, I mean, I actually, but

1205
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:54,200
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Republicans are stupid. Republicans played by different rules.

1206
01:10:54,200 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 1: If it's Alana kay Game, we know a left winger. Right.

1207
01:10:56,600 --> 01:10:58,679
Speaker 1: If it's Ruth bad Againsburg, we know a left winger.

1208
01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:03,080
Speaker 1: Sonia Sodom Noah, left winger. Republicans, they go along, they

1209
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 1: allow the vote. Okay, they don't have to. They play along,

1210
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: And there's no reciprocity here. You can't tell me there's

1211
01:11:09,680 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: one thing wrong with Neil Gorsuch's background, credentials to sit

1212
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,439
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court. No, No, I mean I may

1213
01:11:16,560 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: disagree with some of his rulings, but that's not you

1214
01:11:20,040 --> 01:11:23,080
Speaker 1: know what, when you elect a president that's the Republican

1215
01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: you know what you're going to get. You're going to

1216
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,560
Speaker 1: get a conservative Supreme Court, just right, whether you like

1217
01:11:27,680 --> 01:11:30,080
Speaker 1: it or not. The time to fight that battle is

1218
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:32,640
Speaker 1: not now. The time, to a thought, that battle was

1219
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:35,040
Speaker 1: before the election. So I think for the Republicans, the

1220
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: best thing is what they're doing. They're using the constitutional option.

1221
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 1: I get rid of culture on every vote. Actually, I

1222
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: think you'd be disappointed if you did. I think it's

1223
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:46,439
Speaker 1: a shame when the House or Senate and it now

1224
01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: means something. I thought it was a shame when Harry

1225
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,320
Speaker 1: redid it. I was against that right because to me,

1226
01:11:51,560 --> 01:11:53,640
Speaker 1: and I mean I understood his reasoning, just like I

1227
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: understand McConnell's reasoning. Now, But you take those kinds of

1228
01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: issues to the people, you don't destroy the one thing

1229
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:04,160
Speaker 1: that makes the Senate a more deliberative body than the

1230
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:08,600
Speaker 1: House of Representatives. If this continues, it happened today, it

1231
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,400
Speaker 1: is what it is. If they continue down this road

1232
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: and they do away with the legislative filibuster, well what

1233
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 1: an awful, awful shame. I just think, you know, I'm

1234
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:22,200
Speaker 1: gonna go a little philosophical here, and that we have

1235
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:26,840
Speaker 1: no individual thinkers in politics anymore. You have the Senate,

1236
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,440
Speaker 1: you have the House of Representatives, you have the Presidency,

1237
01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:33,040
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court, and the only way that they make

1238
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:36,920
Speaker 1: decisions is based on party lines. That's I mean, there's

1239
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 1: no individual thinkers in the Republican Party that say what

1240
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 1: you just said, Sean, that say, hey, listen, we gotta

1241
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 1: stand up and we gotta go forward on this. There,

1242
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: you don't see with the what's going on with this

1243
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 1: spygate stuff, the Republicans should be going nuts about this

1244
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 1: brand new congressman that just stepped in to this field

1245
01:12:57,600 --> 01:13:00,600
Speaker 1: of a career. Should be going bullets stick saying I

1246
01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: will not work under an environment where we may be

1247
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,800
Speaker 1: spied on it. Because you're not. You're not hearing that

1248
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: from anybody. And that's because we don't yet, I mean,

1249
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:12,519
Speaker 1: but it's because their allegiance is to two political private

1250
01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:15,439
Speaker 1: organizations and not to the American people, and not to

1251
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,759
Speaker 1: this this whole thing, this whole thing that's happening today,

1252
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: the nuclear option. But I find so astounding. You don't

1253
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,840
Speaker 1: have to be a political science genius to know that

1254
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: this is not a good strategy on the part of

1255
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats. I've been squawking about this on my show

1256
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,560
Speaker 1: for weeks. This is not an intelligent strategy. You know what.

1257
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: There is what at least a seventy five or twenty

1258
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:40,320
Speaker 1: five percent chance that we're going to get to the

1259
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:43,560
Speaker 1: last year of this president's term, and that's going to

1260
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: be when he needs to pick a justice. Right. I

1261
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: would have loved to have heard the Republicans explain why

1262
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,320
Speaker 1: it's okay to do it in that year when it

1263
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 1: wasn't okay when it was another president. Now because you

1264
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:59,160
Speaker 1: chose to fight over a nominee who is getting approved,

1265
01:13:59,360 --> 01:14:02,479
Speaker 1: it was he's clear he's going on the Supreme Court.

1266
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: All they're doing is playing to the base. They aren't

1267
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:10,600
Speaker 1: doing their job. Aren't you worried at the admission of

1268
01:14:10,840 --> 01:14:15,559
Speaker 1: unmasking the contradiction of of of of what's her name?

1269
01:14:15,880 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 1: M farcas? No price still on that. By the way,

1270
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,240
Speaker 1: did you did you ever get it? A lawyer up,

1271
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm not going to answer the question, did you ever

1272
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 1: get it? To come on? Did you? I mean her talking?

1273
01:14:28,400 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: I mean I'm trying. Did she know that I was

1274
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:36,320
Speaker 1: actually trying to help her? I like, she's gonna She's

1275
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: in trouble, dude, She's in big trouble. She is being

1276
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 1: very capably represented. So you got Susan Rice out there,

1277
01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: and she's out there. You know now we've learned from

1278
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:48,560
Speaker 1: Sarah Carter today that in fact, they're looking into the

1279
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:50,920
Speaker 1: personal lines of people. There has nothing to do with

1280
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 1: except you guys. Are you're getting as ahead of the

1281
01:14:53,840 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: story as the other side. Let me tell you why

1282
01:14:56,479 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 1: you are. You know, as far as anything that we know,

1283
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,519
Speaker 1: it isn't hirely possible that there's nothing to the Susan

1284
01:15:02,600 --> 01:15:09,439
Speaker 1: Rice story, and there's nothing illegal. It's illegal when you

1285
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:16,840
Speaker 1: leak it. If she leaks something, but she's leaked. It's

1286
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: also illegal if you are read into a program and

1287
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:22,680
Speaker 1: then you take that information and then you give it

1288
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:25,720
Speaker 1: to somebody else in the government. Yeah, that we don't

1289
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:29,559
Speaker 1: know that she did. Why did Why did Farcas need

1290
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: to know this? See? I don't think she had an idea.

1291
01:15:33,360 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Well hold on a second, you say, I'm sure talking

1292
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,880
Speaker 1: about Rice, but here, Well, you can't talk about Rice

1293
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:41,480
Speaker 1: without talking about her and everybody else because the information

1294
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 1: that Rice unmasked is the same information that Farcas is

1295
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:50,600
Speaker 1: talking about. So in that case, it got disseminated. No.

1296
01:15:50,800 --> 01:15:54,639
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're making you're making a very big

1297
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 1: leap there that there's no may you may get there

1298
01:15:57,360 --> 01:15:59,840
Speaker 1: at some point, but we're not there yet. There's me

1299
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:03,280
Speaker 1: to me. We went from two weeks ago, does she's no,

1300
01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:09,720
Speaker 1: I know enough thing? Remember Starr right, remember? And then

1301
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 1: then we got to oh yeah, surveillance took place, and

1302
01:16:12,600 --> 01:16:15,479
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I did a masking of Trump. And now,

1303
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 1: by the way, Sarah Carter has gotten everything right to

1304
01:16:18,200 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 1: this point. Now she's saying they're going after the personal

1305
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 1: lives of individuals, which means and proves it was weaponizing

1306
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 1: the intelligence communities. Oh you guys, we'll wrap things up

1307
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,080
Speaker 1: get to your calls in the next half hour. News

1308
01:16:31,200 --> 01:16:34,920
Speaker 1: Round Up, Information Overload, Rick Hunger and Jonathan Gillhim straight ahead,

1309
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 1: bite sized version of the show that you can take

1310
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: with you. To sign up today for Hannity headlines, go

1311
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:49,760
Speaker 1: to Hannity dot com. A right as we continue, Rick

1312
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 1: Hunger and Jonathan Gillhim staying with us, News Round Up,

1313
01:16:52,560 --> 01:16:54,840
Speaker 1: Information Overload Our all. Right, So what I'm trying to

1314
01:16:54,920 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 1: understand is why you aren't more upset that we now

1315
01:16:57,960 --> 01:17:00,519
Speaker 1: know your friend Evelyn Farkas sent it. She admitted that

1316
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 1: there was surveillance on masking She's talking about, let's get

1317
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,880
Speaker 1: it to our friends, our colleagues on the Capitol on

1318
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: Capitol Hill. Well, that would sound to me, and I'm

1319
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:12,040
Speaker 1: not an attorney, but that sounds to me like leaking intel.

1320
01:17:12,360 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 1: That's my problem. I am an attorney, and that's why

1321
01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 1: you haven't heard me screaming about President Trump and his

1322
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: people collaborating with with somebody from overseas, because I haven't

1323
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: seen any evidence to prove that yet. And I haven't

1324
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 1: seen any evidence to prove that Susan Rice did anything wrong.

1325
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:33,320
Speaker 1: When I see evidence on either both or none. What about? What?

1326
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,600
Speaker 1: What about what she's admitting to and how she contradicted

1327
01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:39,560
Speaker 1: what she said two weeks ago because she didn't. You know,

1328
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:41,920
Speaker 1: that's not fair. What she said two weeks ago was

1329
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: not in response to the stay at the beginning of

1330
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:46,240
Speaker 1: her two weeks ago when she says she knows nothing.

1331
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 1: I was surprised to see reports from chairman unis I

1332
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,800
Speaker 1: know nothing about this. It's not very useful without the

1333
01:17:54,960 --> 01:17:57,960
Speaker 1: question that she's answering. Then all right, but she's talking

1334
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,600
Speaker 1: about the very specific issue. Wa sit there and I go,

1335
01:18:00,720 --> 01:18:03,280
Speaker 1: I know that. But then she goes on and be

1336
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:05,400
Speaker 1: saying she admit she knew everything about it. But she

1337
01:18:05,479 --> 01:18:07,760
Speaker 1: didn't say she knew nothing to this stuff, the very

1338
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:10,719
Speaker 1: thing she saying she knew nothing about. You know the question.

1339
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 1: Let's look in the context of how And I hate

1340
01:18:14,200 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 1: to say these initials, but CNN has covered this, and

1341
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: like John Lemmont for instance, if you know, sometimes when

1342
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 1: the cops roll up on a scene and there's a

1343
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 1: dead body there, there's no evidence and so they have

1344
01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,920
Speaker 1: to do an investigation. They don't just assume that nothing

1345
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,360
Speaker 1: has happened here and that the person just died in Okay, Well,

1346
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:34,880
Speaker 1: according to the mainstream media and a lot of these

1347
01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:37,560
Speaker 1: people on the left, we should just let this go.

1348
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:41,320
Speaker 1: And there's no evidence. That's why. That's why when you

1349
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:42,800
Speaker 1: say the things that you say, you have to be

1350
01:18:42,960 --> 01:18:46,960
Speaker 1: very careful with that, because there is more circumstantial evidence here.

1351
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: When we look at farcas, when we look at Susan Rice,

1352
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 1: you do see that they were moving around information that

1353
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: was unmasked by Susan. Wait, let's let's just set a

1354
01:18:58,400 --> 01:19:01,040
Speaker 1: few things straight there. Number one, I'm not CNN. I'm

1355
01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: telling you what I see. I have always been mistrustful

1356
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,760
Speaker 1: of circumstantial evidence, and I apply the same to mister

1357
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:10,480
Speaker 1: Trump's situation. Right, show me evidence. I have no objection

1358
01:19:10,600 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 1: whatsoever to an investigation of that, none whatsoever. You got

1359
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:17,640
Speaker 1: a question, it should be investigated. And if the investigation

1360
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:20,680
Speaker 1: ms turns up evidence that she or anybody in the

1361
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 1: in the previous administration did anything wrong, go get him.

1362
01:19:24,160 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 1: The problem is the problem is the people who are

1363
01:19:26,840 --> 01:19:29,519
Speaker 1: going to be doing the investigations. One don't want to.

1364
01:19:29,840 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 1: It's half of them are establishment from the GOP and

1365
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,960
Speaker 1: they don't like Trump. The other half for Democrats who

1366
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:39,040
Speaker 1: hate Trump. So see, this is why we need body

1367
01:19:39,080 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: responsible for that, and I'm all for an independent investigation.

1368
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 1: That's why I think I think James coming. It's the

1369
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,800
Speaker 1: Republicans that won't let that happen. I think James Comen

1370
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 1: should be fired, and I think, a how do you

1371
01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:54,000
Speaker 1: how do you fire him? Term you ask him to resign?

1372
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 1: You have you ask me to resign, but you also

1373
01:19:55,800 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 1: can look and see if he's done malpractice of his job,

1374
01:19:58,560 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: and then you can you can ask Listen, my take

1375
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: is very clear, and I think the what we see

1376
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: unfolding before our eyes is gonna be much deeper than

1377
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:10,440
Speaker 1: Watergate ever was, and that is we are now weaponized

1378
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: and politicized intelligence gathering in the country. That is the

1379
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,559
Speaker 1: beginning of a police state. As a liberal, you should

1380
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: be on my side about this. I'm on your side

1381
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: once I know that it happened, but I just you're

1382
01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:24,320
Speaker 1: presuming it happened. I'm not making I am. I'm citing

1383
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,599
Speaker 1: Fox News as report from yesterday that says they literally

1398
01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 1: just a minute. I want to update you on the story.

1399
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:21,679
Speaker 1: Remember this fourteen year old girl forced into a bathroom stall,

1400
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: repeatedly and brutally raped in Rockville High School in Maryland

1401
01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 1: by two illegal alien teenagers and those accused, one of

1402
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:33,680
Speaker 1: which had a pending deportation order. We're seventeen, eighteen years old,

1403
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: but under the district sanctuary policy, they were placed in

1404
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:41,560
Speaker 1: ninth grade. And a detailed and gruesome account of this

1405
01:21:41,800 --> 01:21:44,800
Speaker 1: rape we have talked about in detail, and this local

1406
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: national outrage about this. There's a group called that has

1407
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:52,400
Speaker 1: put a petition together called Stand United calling for the

1408
01:21:52,479 --> 01:21:56,880
Speaker 1: superintendent Jack Smith to reverse the sanctuary policies there. And

1409
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: I wanted to get an update on this and a

1410
01:21:58,439 --> 01:22:02,920
Speaker 1: senior campaign organizer for Stand United as Angela morbidos with

1411
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 1: US Angela. How are you gist on him doing well? Well,

1412
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: explain to me obviously, did you see that the lawyers

1413
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 1: for these two illegal immigrants are claiming that this was

1414
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:16,200
Speaker 1: consensual sex with the fourteen year old girl? What are

1415
01:22:16,240 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 1: the laws in Maryland as it relates to statutory rape?

1416
01:22:19,240 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 1: What are the age consent laws? Well, you know, I'm

1417
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 1: definitely not an expert on those, but I can tell

1418
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,439
Speaker 1: you that, you know, there is no none of that's

1419
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:30,719
Speaker 1: supposed to be happening inside a school, let alone during

1420
01:22:30,800 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 1: school hours, where you have two people who are perpetrating this,

1421
01:22:34,520 --> 01:22:37,679
Speaker 1: who dragged her in your bathroom stall. They're seventeen and eighteen,

1422
01:22:38,160 --> 01:22:41,400
Speaker 1: she's fourteen. There are so many layers here of how

1423
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:45,000
Speaker 1: this is illegal. Okay, So now what is your petition

1424
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 1: calling for that they stopped being a sanctuary city or so.

1425
01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 1: Our petition asks the school superintendent to come up with

1426
01:22:52,439 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: a policy that at least looks into the background of

1427
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: new students who are enrolling in the school of Montgomery

1428
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:02,559
Speaker 1: County Public School right now has a policy where anyone

1429
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,559
Speaker 1: can show up and be allowed into their public schools,

1430
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: no questions asked about their background. In fact that by

1431
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:13,799
Speaker 1: these two suspects were considered freshmen, they had come across

1432
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,679
Speaker 1: the border in twenty sixteen, they had no educational records,

1433
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 1: and instead of asking why not, the schools just said, Okay, great,

1434
01:23:21,720 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: I guess you're a freshman. That's pretty unbelievable to me that,

1435
01:23:26,600 --> 01:23:30,200
Speaker 1: you know. I just I don't understand the thinking in

1436
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:32,800
Speaker 1: the mindset that you know. You know. This is one

1437
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: of my biggest arguments. It's been nobody realizes that we're

1438
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:38,960
Speaker 1: spending billions and billions and billions of dollars a year

1439
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:44,080
Speaker 1: on education, on healthcare, the criminal justice system, and that

1440
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,679
Speaker 1: is not even the most devastating impact of illegal immigration.

1441
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:50,640
Speaker 1: Then you have people that are competing for jobs at

1442
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:53,880
Speaker 1: lower wages, so that puts Americans out of work. Then

1443
01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,200
Speaker 1: you've got those people that commit crimes. I've given the

1444
01:23:56,240 --> 01:24:00,519
Speaker 1: statistics when I sat through a briefing down, a security

1445
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,599
Speaker 1: briefing down in Texas with then Governor Rick Perry six

1446
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: hundred and forty two thousand crimes, including murders and rapes

1447
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 1: against Texans, just in a seven year period of time.

1448
01:24:09,960 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: I was stunned and shocked. And you know, here we

1449
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:15,759
Speaker 1: have an incident where you have people in the country illegally,

1450
01:24:16,160 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: and you have a sanctuary city policy, and then you

1451
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 1: have the eighteen and seventeen year old kids in with

1452
01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen year old kids in school and a rape happens,

1453
01:24:26,200 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 1: and then they claim it's consensual. It just doesn't make

1454
01:24:28,680 --> 01:24:31,920
Speaker 1: any sense to me. This whole story is just so

1455
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,839
Speaker 1: sad and so tragic that now you have a fourteen

1456
01:24:34,920 --> 01:24:39,040
Speaker 1: year old girl whose life has been changed forever because nobody,

1457
01:24:39,240 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: none of the adults who were supposed to be educating

1458
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 1: her and at least keeping her safe while she's in

1459
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:47,720
Speaker 1: school every day, because none of them thought to ask

1460
01:24:47,960 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 1: questions of men who were One of the men was

1461
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: an adult, the other one seventeen, so just shy at

1462
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:57,080
Speaker 1: the age of majority. No one asks them any questions.

1463
01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: And when you think about how something like this happened

1464
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:06,000
Speaker 1: and the bureaucracy in place failed this goal at every level, unbelievable.

1465
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you for the update, and if

1466

01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:23,880
Speaker 1: getting a policy in place to make sure this never

1472
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,519
Speaker 1: happens again. All Right, Thanks Angela for all you're doing.

1476
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. Glad you are with us. Hi,

Speaker 1: how are you doing, Sean? I'm good? How are you today?

1478
01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:46,080
Speaker 1: I am in shock? What's the matter? I mean, well,

1479
01:25:46,200 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 1: the thing that I also just realized and was that

1480
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 1: you were part of You were partly survailable along with

1481
01:25:54,680 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 1: I can't remember the gentleman's first name, but yeah, last

1482
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 1: name was Prince. Yeah, Eric, Prince. Listen. I've read the

1483
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:03,920
Speaker 1: stories I've got. I've been very clear on Twitter. I

1484
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:08,160
Speaker 1: have not been able to confirm, although I have my

1485
01:26:08,360 --> 01:26:11,280
Speaker 1: sources looking into it, I have not been able to

1486
01:26:11,360 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 1: confirm or corroborate that I was surveiled or unmasked. As

1487
01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: you know all these stories, I mean, I've seen a

1488
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,800
Speaker 1: number of them now all over the place. I've not

1489
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:23,599
Speaker 1: been able to independently confirm that, but I am making

1490
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 1: it very clear that if in fact, that did happen

1491
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: to me, and I consider it such a violation because look,

1492
01:26:29,840 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 1: there's no way that I was picked up in any

1493
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:37,320
Speaker 1: incidental legal incidental surveillance, because I don't know. But this

1494
01:26:37,600 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: is a thing that concerns me as an American. We

1495
01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,880
Speaker 1: did not sign up for this. We did not sign

1496
01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,400
Speaker 1: up for a police state. No, we didn't. And we've

1497
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 1: had one liar after another in the Oval office. Parted

1498
01:26:50,560 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 1: with Clinton, then I went to George Bush getting us

1499
01:26:54,320 --> 01:27:01,000
Speaker 1: into Iraq under false pretenses. Then it went to then

1500
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 1: I went to Obama, and it's ridiculous, it's out of hand.

1501
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: And I read this article that m Hillary's plan for

1502
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:17,000
Speaker 1: you and Barack Obama's plan for you too was that

1503
01:27:17,520 --> 01:27:20,560
Speaker 1: if Hillary won that they were going to try to

1504
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: get you fired from Fox. I didn't say where did

1505
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 1: you see that? I did not see that. Um, it

1506
01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: was an article, it was on it was on Facebook

1507
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:35,439
Speaker 1: about how how Obama did not like you, because you're

1508
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:39,439
Speaker 1: you didn't paint him in a flattering light. Listen all

1509
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 1: of that truth. Look, nobody vetted him harder and got

1510
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 1: to the truth of Look, I think I've been proven

1511
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:50,160
Speaker 1: through the prism of history that I was dead on accurate,

1512
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:53,720
Speaker 1: even beyond my imagination. As it relates to Obama, I

1513
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,560
Speaker 1: know he hated it. I mean he mentioned me, you know,

1514
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 1: a dozen times, and then was told by somebody to

1515
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: stop because as I kept using every time, he did

1516
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 1: it as a promo. And so you know, my only

1517
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:09,800
Speaker 1: answer to him is listen, nothing surprises me. You know,

1518
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: you got to remember, remember the secret police stories that

1519
01:28:13,320 --> 01:28:15,840
Speaker 1: Dick Morris used to tell about the Clintons, and then

1520
01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 1: you've got the irs being used. Now we've got confirmation

1521
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:24,320
Speaker 1: they've weaponized the intelligence community. I mean this blockbuster discovery

1522
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 1: that they were more interested in getting into the private

1523
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: lives of individuals and any more than anything else. I'm

1524
01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 1: not afraid of whatever they might have done to me,

1525
01:28:33,080 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: but I listen, I will not stop, and I'm I

1526
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:40,080
Speaker 1: would do this just for the principle that no American

1527
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,360
Speaker 1: and if it happened, if it ever turned out it

1528
01:28:42,479 --> 01:28:45,599
Speaker 1: was me that no American because of their political point

1529
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 1: of view, should be surveiled and unmasked. And so if

1530
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:51,800
Speaker 1: it if I ever get to confirm it, and I

1531
01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:54,680
Speaker 1: have people looking, people that like me within the intelligence

1532
01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: community are looking into it for me. If my sources ever,

1533
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,640
Speaker 1: it's ridiculous. And the thing is is I wish that

1534
01:29:01,800 --> 01:29:06,479
Speaker 1: Trump wouldn't have signed signed over. Our search histories too

1535
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:11,600
Speaker 1: are to be released. You know, Listen, all of that

1536
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:15,000
Speaker 1: is the beginning of a police state. Everything you're talking

1537
01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,400
Speaker 1: about is this is it now? If they want to

1538
01:29:17,479 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 1: embarrass me, intimidate me, silence me, that's not going to happen.

1539
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: And I'm willing the time was so glad. I love

1540
01:29:24,680 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: watching your show and I love how how hard hitting

1541
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 1: you are towards these Listen, I make a lot of enemies.

1542
01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm not surprised, I mean nothing. I have for

1543
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:37,400
Speaker 1: years assumed that my tax returns are gone over with

1544
01:29:37,479 --> 01:29:40,960
Speaker 1: a fine tooth comb and percentage wise. Even my own

1545
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:43,760
Speaker 1: accountant says to me, what are you doing? You know

1546
01:29:43,880 --> 01:29:47,120
Speaker 1: you really should be taking these deductions. Um, and I'm

1547
01:29:47,320 --> 01:29:49,400
Speaker 1: My next question is is it going to likely trigger

1548
01:29:49,439 --> 01:29:52,599
Speaker 1: an audit? Yes? Okay, leave it in, just don't don't

1549
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:56,120
Speaker 1: take it because it's not worth it to me to

1550
01:29:56,320 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: be the target. And even with those part actions that

1551
01:30:00,479 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 1: I've put in place, I still get attacked by them.

1552
01:30:03,920 --> 01:30:06,200
Speaker 1: I started dealing with the case right now with the irs,

1553
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:10,600
Speaker 1: and it's ridiculous, and it's absolutely ridiculous what they're what

1554
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:14,040
Speaker 1: they're trying to look at here. But you know, this

1555
01:30:14,240 --> 01:30:16,519
Speaker 1: is my this this goes with the territory. A lot

1556
01:30:16,600 --> 01:30:18,439
Speaker 1: of good things. I get to meet nice people like you.

1557
01:30:18,560 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 1: I get to talk to great Americans like you, and

1558
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 1: I am not shy about expressing my political views. I

1559
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:25,560
Speaker 1: just don't know the answer. I can't give a I

1560
01:30:25,720 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 1: don't know, I can't confirm. I have my sources looking

1561
01:30:29,600 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: and if I get an answer, I promise I will

1562
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:34,439
Speaker 1: be forthcoming. But I have not been able to confirm it.

1563
01:30:34,720 --> 01:30:37,040
Speaker 1: And I keep reading the same things that you're reading,

1564
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:40,439
Speaker 1: and I'm not surprised at all to see it to

1565
01:30:40,520 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 1: be perfectly blunt. Brian is in New York City the

1566
01:30:43,360 --> 01:30:46,680
Speaker 1: All New AM seven ten w R The Talk of

1567
01:30:46,800 --> 01:30:50,160
Speaker 1: New York, New Jersey, Long Island. How are you, sir, Sean.

1568
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:52,360
Speaker 1: You're doing a great job. I gotta tell you, I

1569
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:55,400
Speaker 1: love your show. Thank you, sir, and Mark Levin are

1570
01:30:55,640 --> 01:30:59,680
Speaker 1: than It's great stuff. God bless us. My question is

1571
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: Jevin Nunez knew about the unmasking back in January. I understand,

1572
01:31:06,640 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 1: Why is it that James Comy came before Congress and

1573
01:31:11,080 --> 01:31:15,920
Speaker 1: he didn't really suggest that they were investigating this these

1574
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,599
Speaker 1: intelligence leagues? Now where is he all this is coming out?

1575
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 1: And Susan Rice, where is James Comy in this whole charade?

1576
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:27,080
Speaker 1: It's a really good question. I mean, it bothers me

1577
01:31:27,400 --> 01:31:31,200
Speaker 1: that he acknowledges one type of investigation is going on,

1578
01:31:31,439 --> 01:31:35,720
Speaker 1: the Russia investigation. When asked about the felony committed with

1579
01:31:35,800 --> 01:31:39,120
Speaker 1: the intelligence leaking, he just has nothing to say about it.

1580
01:31:39,520 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 1: And his answer is the standard, Well, we don't talk

1581
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:45,519
Speaker 1: about potential or ongoing investigations, And why did you just

1582
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:49,240
Speaker 1: five minutes ago start talking about the quote Russia investigation,

1583
01:31:49,360 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 1: even though we all know there's no evidence uptil this point.

1584
01:31:51,920 --> 01:31:55,880
Speaker 1: So I fear actually that Comy may have been politicized. Now,

1585
01:31:55,960 --> 01:31:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm I don't know the guy, and the way he's

1586
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:05,559
Speaker 1: acting is kind of bizarre, unpredictable. I'm not sure. I'm

1587
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:08,640
Speaker 1: not sure why he's doing the things he's doing, and

1588
01:32:08,800 --> 01:32:12,120
Speaker 1: it's troublesome to me, especially in light of the seriousness

1589
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:16,599
Speaker 1: in what we know about surveillance of a presidential candidate,

1590
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:20,280
Speaker 1: a president elect is transition team, and now the new

1591
01:32:20,360 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: discovery that they're looking into the personal lives of all

1592
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 1: these people nothing to do with any real national security investigation.

1593
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 1: That means we have weaponized our intelligence community, and that's

1594
01:32:31,280 --> 01:32:34,519
Speaker 1: a very, very dangerous position for the United States of

1595
01:32:34,600 --> 01:32:37,880
Speaker 1: America to be in. Anyway, Brian, good call, sir, Thank you,

1596
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:41,720
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let's say hi to Shannon in Florida. Shannon, Hi,

1597
01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:44,280
Speaker 1: how are you? And we're glad you called hi? How

1598
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:46,880
Speaker 1: are you? Thank you so much. I've been listening to

1599
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:50,439
Speaker 1: you for a while and I'm telling you, Sean, you

1600
01:32:50,560 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 1: have a real chance. I'm so telling you. You keep

1601
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 1: screaming and telling us, and I believe you, and I

1602
01:32:56,600 --> 01:32:59,160
Speaker 1: want to believe you, but you keep saying how you

1603
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: want to keep it everybody accountable and hold everybody, And

1604
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,799
Speaker 1: you have a chance. I have to prove you guilty.

1605
01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:09,240
Speaker 1: They you don't have to prove it. Nail them to

1606
01:33:09,320 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: the wall, Shawn. You have a chance. If they're surveilling you,

1607
01:33:13,040 --> 01:33:16,599
Speaker 1: make them prove that they're not. Well, I listen, I'm

1608
01:33:16,640 --> 01:33:20,760
Speaker 1: going to be very judicious, very cautious, but also very

1609
01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:25,000
Speaker 1: thorough cautious. Well, but the thing is you But I well,

1610
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 1: because I believe in the rule of law. I mean,

1611
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:30,880
Speaker 1: in other words, just because just because I read something

1612
01:33:31,040 --> 01:33:35,720
Speaker 1: doesn't mean I necessarily believe it. Now, somebody somewhere in

1613
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:39,920
Speaker 1: the intelligence community clearly, in my opinion, leaked that this happened.

1614
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 1: That's my take on it. But I've not been able

1615
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:46,160
Speaker 1: to independently corroborate or confirm this, So I'm all I'm

1616
01:33:46,280 --> 01:33:50,680
Speaker 1: doing is due diligence. I'm using every insider source I

1617
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,439
Speaker 1: have trying to get to the answer, and as of now,

1618
01:33:55,600 --> 01:33:58,719
Speaker 1: I can confirm or corroborate anything at all has happened

1619
01:33:58,760 --> 01:34:01,679
Speaker 1: that is inappropriate. Can't confirm I've been surveiled. I can't

1620
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:05,160
Speaker 1: confirm I've been unmasked. I don't know. Am I worried

1621
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:07,240
Speaker 1: about a lot of people? Look, I really appreciate a

1622
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:09,679
Speaker 1: lot of people are writing me worried for me because

1623
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: they see it as such an invasion of privacy. Yeah,

1624
01:34:12,120 --> 01:34:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not. I'm I'm I'm telling all my

1625
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,400
Speaker 1: friends I'm not worried. I don't care. You know there's

1626
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:19,840
Speaker 1: nothing they can do to hurt me, and then there's

1627
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:22,719
Speaker 1: not Look at you. You will discover that I curse

1628
01:34:22,800 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 1: a lot more than you think I do. Oh no,

1629
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 1: I believe you. But here, think about this. You have

1630
01:34:27,520 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 1: a team. They make phone calls for you all the time.

1631
01:34:30,840 --> 01:34:32,960
Speaker 1: I know they do because you're a very busy person.

1632
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,800
Speaker 1: So how do you know your team wasn't surveiled. It's

1633
01:34:35,840 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: not fair to them that you aren't taking up the

1634
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,040
Speaker 1: staff and saying, okay, if you're going to do this

1635
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,559
Speaker 1: to me, if somebody leaked, by the way, if they

1636
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,599
Speaker 1: ever surveilled Linda, I mean it would be it would

1637
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:49,639
Speaker 1: be every word would have to be bleeped. It would

1638
01:34:49,640 --> 01:34:51,720
Speaker 1: never get to begin every phone call with hello, the

1639
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,720
Speaker 1: NSA and then I continue and then you continue. By

1640
01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 1: the way, I do that a lot too. I've been

1641
01:34:56,160 --> 01:34:59,000
Speaker 1: doing them for years. But that's okay. You got to

1642
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:03,040
Speaker 1: think about I'm challenging you to put your money where

1643
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:06,559
Speaker 1: your mouth is. You want to hold them accountable. Listen,

1644
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:09,759
Speaker 1: I could promise you this if I ever do confirm

1645
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know where this is going. I really

1646
01:35:12,280 --> 01:35:14,639
Speaker 1: and and to be honest, I'm so focused on my job.

1647
01:35:14,680 --> 01:35:17,080
Speaker 1: It's not been top of mind for me. I'm very

1648
01:35:17,120 --> 01:35:20,560
Speaker 1: honest here. I've got friends. I've got friends, some of

1649
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:24,600
Speaker 1: the you know them, Joe Degeneva, Uh, Jay Sekulo, I have.

1650
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Speaker 1: These guys have already agreed to represent me because that

1651
01:35:28,040 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 1: would be cause for civil action, and that means I'd

1652
01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:34,760
Speaker 1: be able to depose every single person involved in any

1653
01:35:34,840 --> 01:35:38,200
Speaker 1: surveillance of me or any unmasking of me. And by

1654
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,439
Speaker 1: the way, I promise one thing if it happened, if

1655
01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:44,679
Speaker 1: it turns out it's true, I will not stop. Every

1656
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:47,080
Speaker 1: one of them will be deposed under oath, and I

1657
01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: will I will chase this down to the to the

1658
01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 1: I'll squeeze every bit of truth I could get out

1659
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 1: of these people.
