You know what may sadly define 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: this error of our lives and the presidency of Donald 27 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: Trump has nothing to do with Russia, nothing to do 28 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 1: with anything. How do you possibly deal with a madman 29 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: in North Korea that has threatened again and again to 30 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: use nuclear weapons, that has now had the capacity and 31 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: the ability to build I C b ms. You know, 32 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: I went over this in in great specificity, in great 33 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: detail last night on the program about well, how is 34 00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: it possible? How did Kim Jong il, who is Kim 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:59,559 Speaker 1: Jong UN's father, how did he manipulate the United States 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: of amery into giving him billions and billions of billions 37 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: of dollars and then say, oh, we're not going to 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: build nuclear weapons and then he goes out there and 39 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 1: builds nuclear weapons. How is that possible? Well, it happened. 40 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: And if you look at the history of it. I 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 1: think it's an abject lesson of exactly what this country 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: should never do. Remember it all started on Friday. And 43 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm only telling you. I'm not trying to scare you. 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: I am trying to get you to understand the reality 45 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 1: here that is really dangerous. On top of everything else 46 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: that this country is now facing. And and that includes Iran, 47 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 1: that includes ISIS, that includes China, Russia, that includes Radical Islamis, 48 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 1: that includes all of those that are sworn to our destruction. 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: But we've got a growing threat, and I think it 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: is probably the number one threat we're now facing, and 51 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: that's North Korea. And you've got the president now vowing 52 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: to take action, Lindsey Graham said earlier today. And this 53 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: should scare everybody that one of the options that President 54 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: Trump is actively considering is to neutralize the North Korean 55 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 1: nuclear threat. Is a military attack that would quote destroy 56 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 1: North Korea itself. And Graham told that the NBC News today, 57 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: there's a military option to destroy North Korea's nuclear program 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: and North Korea itself. If there's gonna be a ward 59 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: to stop him, Kim Jong un, it will be over there. 60 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: If thousands tie, they're gonna die over there. They're not 61 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: gonna die here in President Trump told me that to 62 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: my face, that's a pretty scary scenario. You know, almost 63 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: reminds me. You know, you think this is big news everyday. Russia, Russia, Russia, Well, Russia, Russia, 64 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: Russia could quickly involve into North Korea in seconds. That's 65 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: how dangerous this is. It all started again on Friday. 66 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: You got the rogue regime conducting yet another I CBM test, 67 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: which of course is the longest missile test in the 68 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: history of North Korea. Do you understand that? Now we're 69 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: talking about missiles that can go nearly ten thousand miles 70 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: and reach downtown New York City, downtown Boston. This is 71 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: now a real clear president danger to the United States. Now. 72 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: On the upside, over the weekend, the US conducted a 73 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 1: military successful fat anti ballistic missile test over the Pacific Ocean, 74 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,480 Speaker 1: and earlier today during a cabinet meeting, the President said 75 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: yesterday that his administration will handle North Korea. Didn't want 76 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 1: to go into more details. Now, the presidents also trying 77 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: to press and pressure China because China has so many 78 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:35,480 Speaker 1: economic ties to Pyongyang to stop their aggressive behavior. Now 79 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: Japan's Prime minister is now saying that he and President 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: Trump have agreed to take further action against North Korea. 81 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: South Korea is now hoping that they can get ahold 82 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,160 Speaker 1: of the nuclear weapons themselves, because they're sitting ducks right now, 83 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: and the President is now facing what I think is 84 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,679 Speaker 1: a situation where there are no good answers here, they're none. 85 00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 1: And the reason that there are no good answer and 86 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: this is why it dove tails perfect glee into the 87 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: things that we conservatives were warning before. This idiotic Iranian 88 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: deal where billions and billions of dollars were handed over 89 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: to the Iranians, where they get twenty five days notice 90 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: of inspections, they continue to spend their centerfuges and we 91 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: don't even get to send the inspectors in. They're not 92 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: even American expect inspectors if we even get them in. 93 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: But they got the plainloads of money that were dumped 94 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: on their laps so they can buy more military equipment 95 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: as they continue to save her rattle, as they continue 96 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: to threaten to wipe Israel off the map, the United 97 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: States off the map, as they burn the Israeli flag 98 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: and the flag of the United States of America. You 99 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: gotta understand how we got here. Most people don't know 100 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 1: this history. I'll give it to you. The media will 101 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: never touch it. There is something the media won't tell you, 102 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: and that is back in the Clinton administration at the time, 103 00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: they struck a deal with Kim Jong UN's father, Kim 104 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: Long Ill. We're According then to the New York Times, 105 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: the US agreed to give North Korea over four billion 106 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: dollars four billion taxpayer dollars, a lot of money back 107 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: in the nineties over energy aid over a decade. And 108 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 1: what were we to get in exchange? North Korea was 109 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: gonna freeze and eventually end their nuclear weapons program, and 110 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: their nuclear ambitions were gonna go away. And as part 111 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: of the deal, North Korea would allow inspectors into their 112 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 1: nuclear sites. It's all sound familiar, but in the important 113 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: part here is the butt. They'd also be allowed to 114 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: keep its nuclear fuel rods, which can be used to 115 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: make weapons, for for an unspecified number of years. It 116 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,719 Speaker 1: was a horrible deal, and every time they'd save a 117 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: rattle and would come to Clinton's all right, but you 118 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: really gotta minute this time is he hands over more money? 119 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,359 Speaker 1: And he hands over more money. All right, but listen this, 120 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: I'm serious this time. You gotta promise me. I want 121 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: your word here, Kim Jong, I'll please, please please, never 122 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: happened and anyway, and Bill Clinton then goes out into 123 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 1: there's a good deal from the American people. I will 124 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,360 Speaker 1: prevent it and get nuclear weapons. Now you did, Before 125 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: I take your questions, I'd like to say just a 126 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: word about the framework with North Korea that Ambassador Glucy 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: signed this morning. This is a good deal for the 128 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: United States. North Korea will freeze and then dismantle its 129 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: nuclear program. South Korea and our other allies will be 130 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: better protected. The entire world will be safer as we 131 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: slow the spread of nuclear weapons. South Korea, with support 132 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: from Japan and other nations, will bear most of the 133 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: costs of providing North Korea with fuel to make up 134 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: for the nuclear energy it is losing, and they will 135 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 1: pay for an alternative power system for North Korea that 136 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: will allow them to produce electricity while making it much 137 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,960 Speaker 1: harder for them to produce nuclear weapons. The United States 138 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,480 Speaker 1: and international inspectors will carefully monitor North Korea to make 139 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: sure it keeps its commitments. Only as it does so, 140 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: will North Korea fully joined the Community of Nations. Oh 141 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,880 Speaker 1: only then, Okay, Well, the problem is he gave him 142 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 1: the money. They never kept their promise, and guess what 143 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: they got nuclear weapons, And by two thousand and six 144 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: they conducted their first nuclear test. And then under the 145 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: Obama administration, Well, the North Korean nuclear threat grew rapidly 146 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: because we did nothing, and it's now turned into a crisis. 147 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: And here's why it's there's no good option here because 148 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: if this guy keeps saber rattling, and he keeps firing 149 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: his I C b ms, at some point we've got 150 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: to realize that this nut could possibly because he has 151 00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: the weapons, used them. So then what are our options? 152 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: Think about this? What give me a good option here? 153 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:47,959 Speaker 1: Because the options are gonna be you take out his 154 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: nuclear sights. But does he have enough time to launch weapons? 155 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: Nuclear weapons? Where's he gonna launch them? Does he have 156 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: short range nukes that he will drop in saul in 157 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 1: South Korea? Does he have short range nukes that will 158 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: drop in Japan? Does he have long range nukes that 159 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: he'll fire try and fire into the United States? And 160 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: what if the THAD missile, the technology that we have 161 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: doesn't work, then now listen. I admire the fact that 162 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: we we have this capability in this technology and that 163 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 1: we probably have the ability to to stop it all. 164 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, the fat anti 165 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 1: ballistic missile test we had over the Pacific was great, 166 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,679 Speaker 1: But what if it doesn't work here when it matters. 167 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean, now we're counting on technology to save American 168 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: lives and you're dealing with a guy that has nuclear weapons, 169 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: and you have a guy that's a madman, and a 170 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: guy that seems to absolutely not care about his own 171 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: people and absolutely not care about the rest of the world. 172 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: Is he that crazy that he wants to you know, 173 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: doesn't believe in mutually a short destruction. The former Soviet 174 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 1: Union that was smart enough to understand that they'd get 175 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: destroyed in the process, and they didn't do it. So like, 176 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 1: we can't say or speak for him. So we go 177 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: in there, we attack their nuclear sights, but we don't 178 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: get to them fast enough or all of them. Maybe 179 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: they've got a hidden sight we don't even know about 180 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: because it's hard to get intelligence on the ground in 181 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,719 Speaker 1: North Korea, alright, So we we try to take out 182 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: their sights. He launches against Seoul. He launches against Japan. 183 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: Who knows he might even launch against China for crying 184 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: out loud. If he's that nuts, there's no good option here. 185 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: You can't negotiate with him. Bribing didn't work, So the 186 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: only thing that's left is a military option, which is, 187 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, an unmitigated human disaster and tragedy because you've 188 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: got a maniacal dictator that is hell bent on holding 189 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: the world hostage. That raises another question, Well, why would 190 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: we do it again and this time be doing it 191 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: In the case of Iran, We're making the same mistake 192 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: all over again. We know what their intentions are. There's 193 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: no good option here, and I just I'm telling you 194 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: pay attention. This is going to become a much bigger 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 1: issue than I think anybody's anticipating as of today. August one. Anyway, 196 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: one other thing I want to talk about. Finally, the 197 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: House Judiciary Committee sent this letter to the Department of 198 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 1: Justice calling for a second special counsel to be appointed. 199 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 1: It's about time, and we're gonna get into all of 200 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:22,439 Speaker 1: the details. What was Debbie Wasserman Schultz trying to hide? 201 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 1: For example, Debbie Wasserman Schultz knew that this guy was 202 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: in fact double billing for his work, some four million dollars, 203 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: getting paid as much as chiefs of staff in Washington, 204 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 1: which is the highest salary you can possibly get. And 205 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: then on top of that, he's getting more things. You know, 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: he's he's he's got his whole family. One guy works 207 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,319 Speaker 1: at a car dealership, one guy works at the McDonald's, 208 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: and then he's staying home all day and people that 209 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: don't seem to be qualified to be working in I T. 210 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: And then he stays on the payroll. Apparently was even 211 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: going to continue to get paid, according to the Daily 212 00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: Caller today, if in fact he went to Pakistan where 213 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: he put thre hundred thousand dollars of trying to leave 214 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: the country with an ankle bracelet. So what what? What 215 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: was it that he had that Debbie Wassonman Schultz clearly 216 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: didn't want out. Was it the fact that she colluded, 217 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: as we already know, to prevent Bernie from ever having 218 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: a shot at denomination, That the d NC primary, the 219 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: Democratic primary was rigged and fixed. Who knows what what 220 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: she was thinking here? Why did she fight the Capitol 221 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: police as hard as she did. That's another mystery that 222 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: that needs to be answered. Why did we have to 223 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: government hard drives smashed into the little smithereens and this 224 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:38,440 Speaker 1: guy's garage. Why was he trying to leave the country. 225 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: Why was he gonna get paid if he even left 226 00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 1: the country. Why did she keep him on the payroll 227 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 1: up until recently? You know what is it with the 228 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 1: obsession of Democrats that they take hammers two electronic devices 229 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: like blackberries and iPhones like Hillary did, or they delete 230 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: thirty three thousand emails and then just to make Tripoli sure, 231 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 1: they asked wash the computers and they bleach bit them. 232 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 1: And then any phones they do hand over to the FBI, 233 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: will they end up being phones that are useless because 234 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: they don't have SIM cards in them. How do you 235 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: get away with such such obstruction? And when are Republicans 236 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: going to use their their power that you gave them. 237 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: There's subpoena powers to bring these people into Washington, Ukraine, 238 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: Uranium one, Hillary's email, James call me, Lauretta Lynch, Debbie 239 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 1: Washsing and Schultz. Let's start with all of those first 240 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: and see if we can get to the bottom of 241 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 1: it all. All right, one sewn, you want to be 242 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: a part of the program. Covert operative. Mitch Rapp is 243 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 1: ready for anything, but this time the enemy is ready 244 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: for him. Read Order to Kill, the explosive new novel 245 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: in Vince Flynn's number one New York Times best selling 246 00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: Mitch Rap series. Because of unscrupulous members of the Pakistani 247 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: Secret Service, Rap finds himself chasing false leads in an 248 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: effort to keep Pakistani nukes from falling into the hands 249 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 1: of terrorists. Soon, it becomes alarmingly clear that the forces 250 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 1: in Moscow are bent on fomenting even more chaos and 251 00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: turmoil in the Middle East, and Rap must go deep 252 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,600 Speaker 1: into a racky territory, posing as an American ISIS recruit. There, 253 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 1: he uncovers a plan more dangerous and insidious than he 254 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: ever expected, one that could have far reaching and catastrophic consequences. 255 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Written with the same relentless action as Vince Flynn's greatest novels, 256 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: Mitch Rap's latest adventure is as timely and provocative as ever. 257 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: Ordered to Kill, a Mitch Rap novel by Kyle Mills, 258 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: is now in paperback wherever books are sold. So I 259 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: know most people probably are not paying a lot of 260 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: attention in North Korea now, but I'd pay attention I'd 261 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,880 Speaker 1: pay very close attention. Now. I meant to mention one 262 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: other thing that then. This was from the Washington Examiner. Today, 263 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: the US military is detected highly unusual North Korean submarine 264 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: activity just now days after the Friday missile test, the 265 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: intercontinental Ballistic missile test that they had, and the activity 266 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: was evidence of an ojection test, and that means a 267 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 1: a missile's cold launched system from a submarine, and that 268 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: test uses high pressure steam to propel the missile out 269 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 1: of the launch canister and into the air before its 270 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 1: engines ignite, and this prevents damage to the submarine launch 271 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 1: in the missile. This would be the third ejection test 272 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 1: this month alone, demonstrating Pyongyang in North Korea and Kim 273 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: Jong Lun are making progress at developing their submarine launch skills. 274 00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,880 Speaker 1: Who's giving them this technology by the ways of the Russians, Chinese, 275 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: Who's who's giving this to them? The Iranians working in 276 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: conjunction with them. Who knows? But it's all really scary. 277 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,240 Speaker 1: I want to get back to the Special Council that 278 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the members of the House Judiciary scent they want a 279 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 1: special council appointed, and they should and that should be 280 00:15:54,400 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: about Hillary Clinton, and Hillary's the letians acid wash bleach bit. 281 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: It should be about her hammer taking a electronic devices 282 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: after Ohio lights. Just wanted to convenience of one one device. 283 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: A big lie. It's like the thirty three thousand emails 284 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: about yoga, wedding a funeral and writing Bill Clinton. Who 285 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 1: does an email? It's like Debbie Wassonman Schultz And you know, 286 00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: why was she fighting the Capitol police so hard over 287 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: a laptop? And why was why was she protecting this 288 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: guy that had smashed government property hard drives on it 289 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: in his garage? Why did that happen? You know, when 290 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: are we going to have an investigation into the former 291 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 1: FBI director James Comey? Now we got the General Council 292 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: of the FBI being investigated for leaks Lauretta Lynch, and 293 00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: we know what she did. It's only a matter. It's 294 00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: not it is not an investigation, it's a matter. And 295 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: as we've been telling, there's such a double standard. We 296 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: don't have a two tier justice. We have a two 297 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: tier justice system. We don't have equal justice under the 298 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,840 Speaker 1: law anymore. Because the media is so corrupt they don't care. 299 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: Just just flip it. Let's just say everything thing that 300 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,479 Speaker 1: happened with Ukraine and meeting with the Ukrainian ambassador at 301 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 1: the embassy was Trump. Let's say that it was Trump 302 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: destroying hard drives. Let's say it was Trump deleting emails 303 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: and smashing phone devices blackberries, iPhones with a hammer and 304 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 1: sending the FBI, you know, devices without sim cards and 305 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: acid washing, you know, entire systems. Imagine it's uranium. One 306 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 1: is Trump giving up to our uranium to Russia and 307 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: a hundred and forty five million dollars kick back to 308 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 1: Trump's whatever. Imagine what they would what what the outrage 309 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: would be. Imagine how people would be reacting to all 310 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: of that. You know, just how many more instances? When 311 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: is the shoe gonna be on the other foot. When 312 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,639 Speaker 1: are Republicans if they can't get anything done legislatively, and 313 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: they seemingly can't, when are they at least going to 314 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: use the subpoena powers and the ability to put these 315 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: people under no oath? Because my list is getting longer 316 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 1: by the day. At least a few of these guys 317 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 1: are waking up. I gotta take a quick break. We'll 318 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 1: come back. Your calls much more coming up. Shawn is 319 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: our number alright now till the top of the hour one, Shawn, 320 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program. Alright, 321 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: So we gotta get into, um, what Lindsay Graham is 322 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: now proposing. You know that I want a healthcare bill, 323 00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: and I want it yesterday. And I think that the 324 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: Republicans are really pathetic. Um, but I think the President's right, Um, 325 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,239 Speaker 1: they can't be quitters. They can't give up, and I 326 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: think if they do, there's there's gonna be held to 327 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: pay at the ballot box. I think the American people 328 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: will accept that Washington is a swamp and that there 329 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:48,800 Speaker 1: are some Republicans that absolutely are themselves somewhat. They're just disingenuous, dishonest, 330 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: and they didn't mean the promises that they made to 331 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: the American people. And it's beyond disappointing because you know, 332 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,920 Speaker 1: who would have thought that they didn't have any intention 333 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 1: of doing what they said they were gonna do. Who 334 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,360 Speaker 1: would have thought that they And I forgot fusion GPS 335 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: in the last segment went to make that remark anyway, 336 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: So they're now moving forward with Lindsey Graham has put 337 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: out a plan and it's his health care plan bill, 338 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: and it's, you know, on the surface, he makes it 339 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: about federalism. At the surface, he makes it about you know, 340 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 1: all right, let's let's send it back to the states. 341 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 1: On the surface, as a conservative, I'm thinking, all right, 342 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 1: there's a pretty good idea. Well, let me see the 343 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:30,000 Speaker 1: details of this. And already I see the new revised 344 00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: Senate bill collapsed. Mike Lee, Jerry Morana Kansas came out 345 00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: against that on Monday night. So he got this Graham 346 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 1: Cassidy plan, and they might get a chance. But a 347 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: lot of the devil is going to be in the 348 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 1: details of this. I'm not sure if it's going to 349 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: get legs or not. But the alternative, at least so 350 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 1: far as can be gleaned based on Lindsey Graham's press release, 351 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, it shows that the Republicans plan to change 352 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 1: health insurance in general. What it would mean for consumers, 353 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: The Senator's plan would turn all of the estimated one 354 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: under and ten billion federal dollars currently spent on Obamacare 355 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: and to block grants to the states. Well, does it 356 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: repeal any of Obamacare, any of the taxes, any of 357 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 1: the mandates. You know, I'd like some specifics to all 358 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: of this, Graham is saying that each state would get 359 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,919 Speaker 1: a lump sum of federal money and they get to 360 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: spend it as they wish. Any point, Vermont has expressed 361 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 1: interest in the state government runs financed single payer system 362 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: like they have in Canada. Now, if they want to 363 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: do that, I'm I'm fine with whatever Vermont does. I'm 364 00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: never gonna live in Vermont. I'm just not gonna So 365 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 1: what do you want to tell My son just walked 366 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,679 Speaker 1: into the studio. Do you want to tell me what 367 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 1: you want to tell me? Go ahead, tell everybody. I 368 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:40,720 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I want to share 369 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: this to you don't want to share this to the 370 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: general public, which what happened today? All right, it's not 371 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:49,919 Speaker 1: a big deal. I'm not worried. All right, there you go. 372 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,600 Speaker 1: Oh great, you're great. Seriously is my good news of 373 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: the day. That's fine. So anyway, so I want to 374 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: know that the devils and the details and all of this. 375 00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: I don't care what Vermont does with their block grant. 376 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: In California probably wants to single payers, let them have. 377 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: I'm never going back to California. Lived in California five years. 378 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: Beautiful state, but I'm not paying thirteen and a half 379 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 1: percent of my income and in state taxes for it 380 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,720 Speaker 1: to be wasted in California. I'm now gonna be careful 381 00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: like so many other Americans are, and we're actually comparing 382 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: and contrasting what states offer before we make decisions about 383 00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 1: whether we're gonna move there. One of the great fascinating 384 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: developments of of states, with their high taxes, burdensome regulation, 385 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: their unfair treatment of individuals that enjoy any level of successes. 386 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: They punish success they are. You know, it's amazing that, 387 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, people are supposed to want to get up, 388 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,480 Speaker 1: work really really really really really really hard, go to school, 389 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 1: get their degree, and then figure out ways that they 390 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 1: can do things that they love and and make products 391 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,680 Speaker 1: and service. Is that people want, need and desire and 392 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: provide a good living for themselves in the process. And 393 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: sometimes they fall a little short, they didn't finish college. 394 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 1: They pay the consequences. You know, life is about you know, 395 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: you do suffer consequences for some of the things you do, 396 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: some of the choices you make. And if some people 397 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: decide not to go to school, that's gonna limit their 398 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: opportunities down the road. If some people decide that they 399 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: don't want to eat and live healthy, and they want 400 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,760 Speaker 1: to just eat everything inside. You're gonna pay the consequences 401 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: for getting overweight and and risking your health in some capacity. 402 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: Want to smoke a hundred cigarettes today, same thing you're 403 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: gonna do drugs. You're ruining your life. There's absolutely ape 404 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,399 Speaker 1: squared plus B square equals C square. And if you're 405 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 1: lucky enough and you don't die, if you're using hard 406 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 1: drugs and you get a chance to start over, we'll go. 407 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 1: You're one of the few because a lot of people 408 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: never get offul So people are making decisions. Why do 409 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,440 Speaker 1: so many people now move to Florida? Why has there 410 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 1: been a mass exodus from states like New York, New Jersey, 411 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 1: Illinois and others because of their in California, Because they're 412 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 1: ridiculously high taxes, they've burdensome regulation and the confiscatory policies 413 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 1: of those states. So if you pay a forty percent rate, 414 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: hopefully those numbers go down under Donald Trump, and you 415 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: pay a forty percent top rate income tax federal income tax, 416 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 1: and then you pay a thirteen point five percent tax 417 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: in California. Okay, that's that's fifty three and a half percent. 418 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 1: Now you still gotta pay your fight at taxes, your 419 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,320 Speaker 1: Social Security taxes. Then you gotta pay let's see, you're 420 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 1: hidden taxes, your sales taxes, your gas taxes. If you 421 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 1: die in a state like New York, you know another 422 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: ten percent. You get taxed twice on all of your 423 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: money because then they take ten percent of your wealth 424 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 1: when you die. That's the death tax after you pay 425 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: death tax to the government. So you know, you get 426 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 1: taxed again. If you're smart enough to save money and 427 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: not take vacations and not spend extravagantly, you can't even 428 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: give the money to the charity or the people in 429 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: your life that you love. That's that's so people are 430 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,639 Speaker 1: looking at Okay, South Carolina, North Carolina. They're looking to Florida, 431 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: they looking at Texas. You know the problem I have 432 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: with people moving to these states. I don't know. If 433 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: you want to move from California to Texas, I'm fine 434 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,119 Speaker 1: with it. You want to move from New York to 435 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: the Carolinas, you want to move from New York down 436 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: to Florida. If you want to move to to Texas, 437 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 1: I'm fine with it, But don't bring your the liberal 438 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: policies that destroy your state with you and destroy these 439 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:29,720 Speaker 1: good states. That's the only thing I ask. You know, 440 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 1: half the people that end up going on Florida from 441 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: the Northeast end up voting liberal down in Florida and 442 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,880 Speaker 1: then now turned it into a purple state. Well, don't 443 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 1: ruin Florida because you're fleeing New York and and the 444 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:47,040 Speaker 1: liberal policies you left behind or New Jersey. So the 445 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: thing I don't really care on On the face of it, 446 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 1: it sounds like something that federalism I'd like to support, 447 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 1: But I don't see any talk in this bill at 448 00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: all about eliminating anything that is Obamacare, any of the taxes, 449 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: any of the mandates. Now maybe it's me, you know, 450 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: I guess I'll have to get Lindsey Graham, and he's 451 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 1: not exactly my biggest fan. Well, maybe we can get 452 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,160 Speaker 1: Senator cass Who's Cassidy. Let's get Cassidy on and see 453 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 1: if they want to talk about it. Anyway, the federal 454 00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:20,919 Speaker 1: government already contributes and distributes money medicaid money to states 455 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,239 Speaker 1: based on need. Under the the bill that that the 456 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 1: Senate is starting in, states would choose between accepting a 457 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: fixed amount of money per Medicaid and roll lee per 458 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: capita or one large but capped block grant regardless of 459 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: the number of participants. This is why you've got That 460 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: is why I was upset with John Kasick. John Kasick 461 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: brought into this. Why did John kasya because he's saying 462 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: what it was good for the people of my state, 463 00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 1: and you know, you know, the problem is what I've 464 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: been saying. The Republican Party is a party now that 465 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 1: has no identity. In the course of all of this 466 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 1: discussion and lead up. Remember Trump became president back in January. 467 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,679 Speaker 1: It's now August. And for the life of me, after 468 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: seven long, long, arduous years and so many show votes 469 00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: sixty plus show votes. Yeah, going back to the districts, 470 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,120 Speaker 1: we used support, repeal and replaced. We first saw this, 471 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 1: the first signs of this in when Senator Ted Cruz said, 472 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 1: you know, we have some constitutional authority and it's called 473 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: the power of the purse, and let's use the power 474 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: of the purse. And we used the power of the purse, 475 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: we can defund Obamacare. No but and he was excoriated 476 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 1: by his own party and they predicted is going to 477 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: be a disaster. But Cruz was right. Cruz was the 478 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: one standing on the Constitution and principle, and the rest 479 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: of these guys were proven that they didn't mean what 480 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 1: they said. We learned this in the House, and we 481 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 1: learned very quickly after they didn't share the bill that 482 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 1: Paul Ryan laid out. It was an establishment bill. It 483 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: was written behind closed doors. Nobody saw it, there was 484 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 1: no collaboration. So it was a dumb way to do. 485 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,120 Speaker 1: What same thing happened in the Senate. I mean when 486 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: they dumped the the I guess the skinny repeal bill 487 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 1: out there with nobody had twenty four hours to read 488 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: the stupid thing. It's just the gang that can't shoot Street. 489 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: But they're missing an identity. They're not the party that 490 00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: they said they were repealing and replacing. They're not the 491 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,400 Speaker 1: party of limited government anymore. They're not the party that 492 00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: believes in principles of free markets and capitalism and competition. 493 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 1: They're not the party that believes in securing our borders. 494 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: Certainly we haven't seen a lot of funding of the 495 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,480 Speaker 1: border wall go on, though it did happen in the House. 496 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 1: In fairness, there's certainly not the party of action, you know. 497 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: But for President Trump, there would be no success today 498 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: but for what he's now doing on his own in 499 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: spite of all of them. And we're beginning to see 500 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 1: that the enemy is on the precipice. It's dying to 501 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: turn around. I mean, it's if they have their way, 502 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 1: they would they would love to fix this economy, love 503 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,679 Speaker 1: to turn this thing around. Let's to get this the 504 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,680 Speaker 1: ship righted. We still have the lowest number of people 505 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: on food stamps that we've had in what seven years. 506 00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,080 Speaker 1: We have all those other economic success that nobody talks about, 507 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: record after record of the stock market is happening a lot. 508 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: Don't consider that the biggest barometer, but it is an indicator. 509 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: You know, for me, if we're not getting people back 510 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,560 Speaker 1: to work and out of poverty and off of food stamps, 511 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: this is all meaningless. But we have the lowest unemployment 512 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: right now, and we are getting nearly a million jobs created. 513 00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 1: And that's only because the President has has moved forward 514 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 1: with the regulations and doing the things that he can 515 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: do on his own. But can he really governed by himself. 516 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: He does need Republicans to go out there and do 517 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: their part. And they're just as responsible on all of 518 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: these things as anybody. Alright, moving on to some other 519 00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: things here we have, according to the Daily Caller, and 520 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to the reporter that's that's been breaking 521 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: all these stories and doing a great job over there. 522 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,120 Speaker 1: You know, emails that were stored on hard drives that 523 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 1: were destroyed by Debbie Wasson and Schultz's computer tech I, 524 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 1: the I T Guy recovered by the FBI. Apparently federal 525 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 1: law enforcement authorities may have already recovered and read what 526 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: was on those hard drives. It depends what happens. But 527 00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: even if it's hit with a hammer, it says, it 528 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 1: probably doesn't damage the platters that actually hold the data, 529 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: which remains recoverable. Well, that would be a good thing. Also, 530 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: So one other bit of information. Andy McCarthy has a 531 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: really good piece out. I know, I really go on 532 00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 1: in our own anymore. They all hate me over there, 533 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: which is fine, a bunch of never trumpers. But anyway, 534 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:53,160 Speaker 1: he pointed out that the hard drive smashed that apparently, 535 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: you know, she was the d n C chair up 536 00:29:55,680 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: until the the the the Democratic National Convention, and also 537 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,360 Speaker 1: to other two dozen other House Democrats. Their computers were 538 00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:06,479 Speaker 1: serviced by this computer tech g I and since Russia 539 00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: Gate began with the publication of emails to and from 540 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: Wasserman Schultz's d n C were leaked to Wiki Leaks 541 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,200 Speaker 1: by an unknown source. You know, will the FBI be 542 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: able to retrieve it? It looks like yes, the hard drives, 543 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: even though they've been smashed, and you know, the FBI 544 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: can do that, and they can match them with the 545 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: d n C emails that were published by Wiki Leaks. 546 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,760 Speaker 1: And it raises the questions, why was she so trying 547 00:30:29,920 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: so so hard this is the Luke Rosiac story to 548 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 1: prevent us from seeing them. Could it be that she's 549 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: exposed as colluding with what we now know there was 550 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 1: collusion of some kind with the d n C and 551 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton's campaign. Bernie Sanders, the fix was in the 552 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 1: whole election. The primary was rigged. I'm a Bernie Sanders supporter. 553 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:56,240 Speaker 1: I'd be pretty piste off. The Justice Department's crackdown on 554 00:30:56,440 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: Trump administration leakers has uncovered a quote astonished number of suspects. 555 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: According to The Washington Times, this is all deep state 556 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: stuff aiming to deliver on the president's promised to stop 557 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: the unauthorized release of sensitive information. Apparently on Friday or 558 00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 1: later this week, the Department of Justice will deliver news 559 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: on the progress. And apparently it's astonishing the number of 560 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,200 Speaker 1: leakers that have been Well, we know at seven times 561 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,640 Speaker 1: that a previous administration, So that's gonna be good. You 562 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: have one top Republican rightly, so that is calling Trent 563 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:35,280 Speaker 1: Frank's for Mueller's resignation. Well, he's so conflicted, how could 564 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: he possibly be a part of it. He's Comey's best friend. 565 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: He's only hiring Democrats and Hillary Clinton's attorney and people 566 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: that donate to Obama Clinton and the Democratic Party. So 567 00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:50,840 Speaker 1: that would be a good start in my opinion. Let's see, 568 00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 1: you see, I have a new poll out. In spite 569 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,240 Speaker 1: of people thinking, oh, it's chaos with the Republicans, Democrats 570 00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 1: are still sinking with blue collar voters there. They are 571 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: no idea, strategies, not a strategy that's not gonna work. 572 00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: Their slogans and bumper stickers aren't going to solve their problems. 573 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,920 Speaker 1: And we've got one other report today and I'm not 574 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,880 Speaker 1: sure if this is true. I'll be looking for information 575 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,200 Speaker 1: that Kelly and Conway may in fact be the next 576 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,560 Speaker 1: communications director. I have no idea at this point if 577 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: that's true or not. So that's just the news from 578 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the 579 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: men are good looking, and all the children are above average. 580 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 1: Just kidding, But those of you don't know that reference 581 00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:30,440 Speaker 1: is a long story, all right, as we roll along 582 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show one, Sean, you know, I keep hearing 583 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 1: from a lot of you, and I I share your 584 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:44,640 Speaker 1: your frustration. I don't know what else to say, because 585 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: we all worked hard, everybody, every one of you worked hard. Okay, 586 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: you wanted the House in and the Tea Party movement started, 587 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,840 Speaker 1: and we all went out. We all voted for people 588 00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: that promised something that apparently they didn't mean or they 589 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: now have gotten cold feet on, and that's repealing replacing Obamacare. 590 00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,560 Speaker 1: Give us the Senate will do it, give us the House, 591 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,280 Speaker 1: the Senate white now so and we'll do it. President 592 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:08,239 Speaker 1: will sign it. And now they're not doing it, nor 593 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 1: are they doing the tax cuts now where they're building 594 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,840 Speaker 1: the wall, nor are they doing anything. And they can't 595 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: even subpoena those people that are responsible for committing crimes 596 00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 1: and felonies. We can't give up. You've got to keep 597 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: fighting because I think this is America's last shot, we'll continue. 598 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,000 Speaker 1: Is the President cining to cut off funding for the 599 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,520 Speaker 1: health insurance plans for members of Congress. Is that what 600 00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: that means bailouts for members of Congress. Actually, I talked 601 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,800 Speaker 1: to the President at length about that exact issue yesterday, 602 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: and I think his attitude is this, and his attitude 603 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: is pretty simple. Keep in mind, he does have this 604 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,719 Speaker 1: way of channeling a large number of the American public, 605 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:45,640 Speaker 1: and what he's saying is, look, if Obamacare is hurting people, 606 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 1: and it is, then why shouldn't it hurt insurance companies? 607 00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,280 Speaker 1: And more importantly, perhaps for this discussion, members of Congress, 608 00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 1: there is a certain benefit the members of Congress get 609 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 1: as part of an op M decision from a couple 610 00:33:57,480 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 1: of years ago. And I think the President is simply 611 00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:01,320 Speaker 1: looking at this and go is this fair? Is it 612 00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,400 Speaker 1: fair that Obamacare is hurting people that if you live 613 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 1: in a county that's what we call now a bear 614 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: county with no coverage, if you're obliged by law to 615 00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,560 Speaker 1: buy something that's not for sale, that's hurting you. Or 616 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: if you've got a coverage but can't afford to go 617 00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,680 Speaker 1: to the doctor, and that's hurting you shouldn't. Insurance companies 618 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,480 Speaker 1: and members of Congress bear some of that burden as well, 619 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:21,120 Speaker 1: so familiar with that issue will see what happens as 620 00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,480 Speaker 1: we move forward. It's interesting there's a headline this morning 621 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:26,320 Speaker 1: in the Washington Post that I'm curious if you accept 622 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,799 Speaker 1: the premise of and the headline was simple, it's not 623 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 1: Obamacare anymore. It's our national health care system. You accept 624 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 1: that the attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act as 625 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,279 Speaker 1: we know it are dead, and now your job and 626 00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:46,520 Speaker 1: the job of Republicans is to make this system work better. Well, no, 627 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: I don't accept the premise because we don't have a 628 00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:52,000 Speaker 1: health care system. We've got about five health care systems. 629 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 1: You've got Medicare for seniors, Medicaid for those individuals who 630 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: are low income or vulnerable or disabled. You've got the 631 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: employer sp in coverage where most individuals in this nation, 632 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,760 Speaker 1: about a hundred and seventy five million, get their coverage, 633 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:06,840 Speaker 1: got the v A system. And then you have the 634 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:10,440 Speaker 1: individual small group market, where where the Obamacare focused its 635 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 1: attention on setting up the exchanges, and it's that area 636 00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: where we've seen absolute failure. We've got the counties in 637 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,440 Speaker 1: this nation that only have one issue where one insurance 638 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,359 Speaker 1: company providing coverage, so that's no choice at all. Next 639 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,960 Speaker 1: year you'll have dozens of counties that have nobody offering coverage. 640 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,839 Speaker 1: So this system is imploding, it is failing. And the 641 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:33,320 Speaker 1: President's passion, our passion, our concern is to make certain 642 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,720 Speaker 1: that we've put in place a system that actually works 643 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 1: for patients. And I want to ask you about a 644 00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,440 Speaker 1: specific that the President tweeted about. He said this yesterday, 645 00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:44,600 Speaker 1: if a new healthcare bill is not approved quickly, bailouts 646 00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,399 Speaker 1: for insurance companies and bailouts for members of Congress will 647 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:50,120 Speaker 1: end very soon. Now appears to be referring to these 648 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: payments that your department has been making monthly. And I 649 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:57,920 Speaker 1: know there is some legal questions about whether this has 650 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:01,840 Speaker 1: been appropriated by the legis a branch or not, But 651 00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: the insurance companies have said this month to month reimbursement 652 00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,160 Speaker 1: of propping up the insurance markets UH is creating more 653 00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,480 Speaker 1: uncertainty and they would like to see some yearly, yearly certainty. 654 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: There can you say for certain that the all of 655 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:22,240 Speaker 1: these insurance payments are going to be made every single 656 00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,080 Speaker 1: month while the Affordable Care Act is law. Well, Chuck, 657 00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 1: as you know and your viewers know, this is a 658 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:30,800 Speaker 1: case that's in court in the cases House v. Price, 659 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: So I'm the defendant in that and therefore I can't 660 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: talk about it. What I can tell you, though, is 661 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,240 Speaker 1: that the court has has made a decision that those 662 00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: payments were made illegally, and that's working. It's the way 663 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,200 Speaker 1: through the through the court system, and it will. But again, 664 00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: what the President wants us to appreciate, and wants wants 665 00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:50,160 Speaker 1: everybody across this land to appreciate, is that the system 666 00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 1: is being propped up in in in a way that 667 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,920 Speaker 1: makes it so it's not working for people. It's not 668 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,439 Speaker 1: working for those small businesses, it's not working for those 669 00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,200 Speaker 1: families across this land. It's not working for patients, not 670 00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:03,120 Speaker 1: working for physicians who are trying to care for those patients. 671 00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: So we're trying to put in place, trying to get 672 00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 1: a system that actually does work for patients and families 673 00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:11,759 Speaker 1: and doctors. So they're making decisions, not Washington, d C. 674 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: I've been here just six months. I'm ready to act. 675 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 1: I have pen in hand. Believe me, I'm sitting in 676 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 1: that office. I have pen in hand. You never had 677 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: that before. You know, for seven years, you had an 678 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,879 Speaker 1: easy route, will repeal, will replace, and he's never gonna 679 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:29,959 Speaker 1: sign it. But I'm signing it, so it's a little 680 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,640 Speaker 1: bit different. But I'm ready to act. For seven years, 681 00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:35,839 Speaker 1: you promised the American people that you would repeal Obamacare. 682 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 1: People are hurting in action is not an option. And frankly, 683 00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: I don't think we should leave town unless we have 684 00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:47,920 Speaker 1: a health insurance plan, unless we can give our people 685 00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,279 Speaker 1: great healthcare. All right, as we continue Sean Hannity Show 686 00:37:51,280 --> 00:37:54,959 Speaker 1: gladiate with us, one Shawn is a toll free telephone number. 687 00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,560 Speaker 1: So Republicans in total, complete, utter disarray as it relates 688 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,399 Speaker 1: to healthcare. When they ever going to get this bill done, 689 00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440 Speaker 1: somebody that's had great ideas, he actually ended up getting 690 00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: the full repeal repeal vote back on the table, and 691 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,760 Speaker 1: even then we still have senators that wouldn't keep their promise. 692 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,000 Speaker 1: It's beyond frustrating. And I think the fact that three 693 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:20,120 Speaker 1: four senators can keep the entire Republican party held hostage 694 00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,239 Speaker 1: is a party beyond recognition to me, and and the 695 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 1: way this has been handled is just it's it's like 696 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,880 Speaker 1: amateur hour. It's disgraceful. Rand Paul has been one of 697 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 1: those that has been rock solid. I want to give 698 00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,440 Speaker 1: you credit as we start this Number one, you are 699 00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 1: credited and pushing the repeal vote, the very same thing 700 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:39,879 Speaker 1: that a lot of these people voted for then when 701 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:41,480 Speaker 1: it would have met, when it didn't matter, and now 702 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 1: they wouldn't vote for it. I think you exposed a 703 00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,239 Speaker 1: lot of people for being frauds and phonies. So I 704 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: thank you for that. Number two was a good idea. 705 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,759 Speaker 1: I remember the first time you suggested it on this 706 00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,719 Speaker 1: program and said I can go for that, and then 707 00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: transition into health savings accounts and cooperatives and really good 708 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 1: bold ideas that would have been fine with me. And 709 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 1: the other thing. As I know, you had to grit 710 00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 1: your teeth to make the votes you made here, but 711 00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 1: I think you did the right thing to advance the ball. 712 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,279 Speaker 1: Maybe it was like of what you wanted and I 713 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 1: felt the same way as you did. You know what 714 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: I never understood about this is we all promised to 715 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,840 Speaker 1: repeal Obamacare. I can't understand why people went back on 716 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: their word. But I kept arguing, you know what, there 717 00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,920 Speaker 1: is some version if we just keep narrowing the repeal 718 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,200 Speaker 1: till we get everydybody on board. But the skinny repealed, 719 00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,480 Speaker 1: when they were calling the skinny repeal, it was probably repeal, 720 00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,319 Speaker 1: and by the time we got to that then people 721 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,360 Speaker 1: were saying, oh, it's not enough. So the bigger repeal 722 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 1: the repeal was too big, and the skinny repeal was 723 00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:44,720 Speaker 1: too little, and so there was nothing gonna please these people. 724 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,640 Speaker 1: But you had to start somewhere because there's not one 725 00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:51,360 Speaker 1: Democrat in Congress who will vote to repeal any regulation 726 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: on healthcare or vote to reveal any tax, So we 727 00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,800 Speaker 1: had to do with Republicans, and that would have forced 728 00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,319 Speaker 1: it toward the Democrats would have to negotiate. But the 729 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,680 Speaker 1: Democrats are not gonna negotiate because they've just seen us 730 00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:04,839 Speaker 1: to be spineless. You know, I blame the Democrats because 731 00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 1: they want nothing that they need to own this things, 732 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,160 Speaker 1: lockstock and barrel. And you know, it's frustrating to me 733 00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: that there is no desire for any consensus building on 734 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,359 Speaker 1: their part, just like when they rammed it down our 735 00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: throat the first time, and and the way they use 736 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,520 Speaker 1: reconciliation to pass it, which they even thought in Obama 737 00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,319 Speaker 1: even said that he didn't have the right to use 738 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,520 Speaker 1: that that process to get it done. But anyway, that's 739 00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,759 Speaker 1: a different story for a different day. But what do 740 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 1: we do now? Do you like Lindsey Graham's idea about 741 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:35,480 Speaker 1: block granting this back to the states. I have serious 742 00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,080 Speaker 1: questions about the amount of money they'll spend number one, 743 00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,680 Speaker 1: But a part of me says, let the states decide 744 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:44,360 Speaker 1: if the money is right. I'm not this thing sounds 745 00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,080 Speaker 1: a little bit off kilter. He's going to keep all 746 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: the Obamacare taxes, so that's at least half of a 747 00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: strike two. Okay, go ahead. Strike Strike one is they're 748 00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:56,560 Speaker 1: going to overspend, so what strength keeps all of the 749 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: Obamacare regulations. I only even repeals any regulations. And then 750 00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:03,320 Speaker 1: the big thing is is that these hundreds of billions 751 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:05,240 Speaker 1: of dollars they're going to give to the insurance companies. 752 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,120 Speaker 1: I think they still do that, so I think it 753 00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:09,800 Speaker 1: has most suspending, keeps those to the rags, and keeps 754 00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:12,720 Speaker 1: all the taxes. So I think they're trying to dress 755 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 1: it up in states rights and dress it up in federalism, 756 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:18,600 Speaker 1: but it still sounds like a big government to me. 757 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:20,759 Speaker 1: I will tell you one hopeful thing, though, I just 758 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:23,080 Speaker 1: got back from the White House about five minutes ago. 759 00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: I spoke to the President yesterday, I spoke to his 760 00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,520 Speaker 1: team today. I'm keeping alive and trying to get the 761 00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:33,279 Speaker 1: administration to expand association health plans. This is where you 762 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,279 Speaker 1: can join a co op across state lines. And we 763 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,640 Speaker 1: think we're close to it. I think the President, I 764 00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:42,280 Speaker 1: hope the President does something very soon to let everybody 765 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,480 Speaker 1: in the country who wants to join an association basically 766 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,920 Speaker 1: get their insurance. As group insurance, you're protected from pre 767 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,879 Speaker 1: existing conditions, and most importantly, you get a good price 768 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: because you're buying it as part of a large group. 769 00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 1: What what form of legislation, Senator would that take? It 770 00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: would actually be through executive action. The Department of Labor 771 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:05,960 Speaker 1: defines which groups are allowed to be an association, and 772 00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 1: under President Obama, surprise, surprise, they didn't let anybody form 773 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,279 Speaker 1: an association. They just said, we don't want anybody to 774 00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,680 Speaker 1: be able to join a group. If the Trump administration 775 00:42:15,719 --> 00:42:18,600 Speaker 1: takes a different approach and says simply, you know what, 776 00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:22,840 Speaker 1: we think the National Restaurant Association, the National Retailers Association, 777 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:26,400 Speaker 1: how about the National Talk Radio Hosts Association, everything but 778 00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: that we can't let any of those right wing talks. Yeah, 779 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 1: by the way, do you hear Senator McCain your buddies 780 00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,319 Speaker 1: attack on us and talk radio? By the way, did 781 00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: you hear the clapping in the Senate chamber you thought 782 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: I can go straight to hell? I'm like, I'm sure 783 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,360 Speaker 1: it was among many, but that was very need of 784 00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,880 Speaker 1: him to do that. Don't get me started on that, because, 785 00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:47,439 Speaker 1: as I recall, he campaigned quite heavily about repealing Obamacare, 786 00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 1: and so exactly a big disappointment. But on the association, 787 00:42:51,200 --> 00:42:53,200 Speaker 1: before you get to I have one question. Is it 788 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:56,200 Speaker 1: true there was one? Somebody sent me some stuff on 789 00:42:56,200 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: online and I can't confirmed this. Do you know if 790 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: Senator McCain was huddled with Demick rats and bragging yeah, 791 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,520 Speaker 1: good good, go try and make America great? Now, Donald, 792 00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:07,840 Speaker 1: did that happen? Yeah? Now, I can't. I can't confirm 793 00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:11,000 Speaker 1: or deny that. I don't know, and I wasn't proving that. 794 00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:14,080 Speaker 1: What do you mean you can just kind of joking. 795 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: I wasn't part of the meetings. I don't know. I 796 00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:19,640 Speaker 1: have no idea. But on the association plans, what I 797 00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,520 Speaker 1: would say is what's really neat about this is there 798 00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:25,439 Speaker 1: are two million fast food restaurants in our country. There's 799 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: like fourteen million workers in fast food. These are people 800 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,640 Speaker 1: that are struggling their working class. They're trying to get ahead, 801 00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:33,759 Speaker 1: and a lot of them don't have health insurance. There's 802 00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,879 Speaker 1: twenty eight million people don't have health insurance. Under Obamacare, 803 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:42,960 Speaker 1: with allowing the restaurant Association to purchase insurance, fourteen million 804 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:46,160 Speaker 1: people could have one person negotiating price for them. It 805 00:43:46,200 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: would be the greatest thing you could ever see or 806 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,960 Speaker 1: ever imagine as far as changing the relationship between the 807 00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:56,320 Speaker 1: consumer and big insurance. Big insurance hates this idea because 808 00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,359 Speaker 1: they want you to be beholden to them and they 809 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 1: have all the power. But what if fourteen million people 810 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,400 Speaker 1: were able to negotiate together for their price and insurance. 811 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people who don't get insurance 812 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: now would all of a sudden be able to get insurance. 813 00:44:09,320 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 1: All right, stay right there, Senator Ram Paul, Senator of Kentucky. 814 00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:15,799 Speaker 1: One Shawn is a toll free telephone number. You want 815 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, We'll take a 816 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,319 Speaker 1: quick break. Congressman Mo Brooks at the bottom of the hour. 817 00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:24,560 Speaker 1: Somebody I'm supporting for the U S. Senate. Al right, 818 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:28,879 Speaker 1: as we continue, Senator Ram Paul of Kentucky is with us. Look, 819 00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 1: I try not to drag it too deep into all 820 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,240 Speaker 1: of this. It's not your fault that the Senate majority 821 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 1: leaders from your state, and I know you guys get 822 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:39,319 Speaker 1: along personally, But in all honesty, um, how is it 823 00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: that he can't get this done? It's August. The president's 824 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,239 Speaker 1: been in office since January. You know, I guess if 825 00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:47,640 Speaker 1: there's blame to go around, I would probably assign the 826 00:44:47,680 --> 00:44:50,880 Speaker 1: blame to those who went back on the word. You know, 827 00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:53,879 Speaker 1: they promised to vote for Obamacare repeal. They did vote 828 00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 1: for it a year ago. We gave him the same 829 00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:58,759 Speaker 1: bill and they changed their mind. And so really I 830 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,719 Speaker 1: think those are the people if you want to cast 831 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,160 Speaker 1: blame and want to figure out what happened. Even in the 832 00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:05,640 Speaker 1: the leadership, they can't make people vote. They try to 833 00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,640 Speaker 1: get people to the table and get them to vote. 834 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 1: But in the end, really it goes back to those 835 00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,360 Speaker 1: who promised to repeal Obamacare and then didn't have the 836 00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,319 Speaker 1: courage to do it. In the end, what about why 837 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,520 Speaker 1: is it taking so long to get all the appointments 838 00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:19,680 Speaker 1: of the president, get his people on board, so we 839 00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:22,839 Speaker 1: can get rid of Obama holdsovers in the deep state Democrats. 840 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,880 Speaker 1: Democrats won't allow any votes. In fact, why don't we 841 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: get rid of the why don't we get rid of 842 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,800 Speaker 1: the super majority and just go to well, actually, for 843 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: most appointees it is, it's simple majority for most nominations. 844 00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,640 Speaker 1: What they do is they delay, they delay, they dragged 845 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 1: their feet, and it's just taken forever. And so that's 846 00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:43,800 Speaker 1: what we're up here this week fighting to do. You know, 847 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,879 Speaker 1: I just met with the Department Secretary Department of Labor 848 00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,280 Speaker 1: and he said he's got twenty he's got nobody approved. 849 00:45:49,400 --> 00:45:52,000 Speaker 1: He's got twenty two people that he has given forward, 850 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,480 Speaker 1: all the paperwork has been done, and he can't get 851 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,960 Speaker 1: sent to approve them. So, yeah, we need to speed 852 00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,600 Speaker 1: this along. And really, probably when you look at how 853 00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:01,719 Speaker 1: many people have to be approved, maybe we shouldn't be 854 00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: approving more than just the top couple because it's taking 855 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: so long to do it. Two things the President brought 856 00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: up and is tweeting this weekend. One is that you 857 00:46:09,840 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: guys should get rid of your own plans while the 858 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 1: American people suffer under a different system. And the President 859 00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,400 Speaker 1: also said no vacations to get your job done. I 860 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:21,040 Speaker 1: agree with agree with him on both. Well, the only 861 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,880 Speaker 1: thing is is I think it may not be exactly accurate. 862 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,239 Speaker 1: For example, we do get Obamacare, and that's one of 863 00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:28,359 Speaker 1: these things that people have put out there. Every member 864 00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:31,320 Speaker 1: of Congress were stuck with it. I hate it. It's terrible, 865 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:34,799 Speaker 1: But we do get Obamacare. What they're talking about is 866 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:38,120 Speaker 1: getting rid of the employer benefit, and the employer benefits 867 00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:40,480 Speaker 1: what everybody in the federal government gets, and everybody gets 868 00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,799 Speaker 1: worked for Toyota, everybody works for your radio station gets 869 00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 1: what's called an employee benefit. So tell me getting rid 870 00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,600 Speaker 1: of that. If they did that, you have to realize, though, 871 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,359 Speaker 1: what they're asking to do is to treat members of 872 00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:55,920 Speaker 1: Congress differently than everybody else in the country. Even Obamacare 873 00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 1: didn't take away anybody's employee benefit, So I think it 874 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: has been a little bit of inaccurate reporting on that. 875 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,799 Speaker 1: The other thing I would say is some conservatives are convinced, oh, 876 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,839 Speaker 1: if we take it away, they'll change your mind. Look, 877 00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,040 Speaker 1: these guys are richer than Midas up here, by the way, 878 00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,120 Speaker 1: not not Louie Gohmer. Louie Gomer lives in his office 879 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:16,360 Speaker 1: along with a bunch of other congressmen. Yeah, but is 880 00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,520 Speaker 1: it right to punish somebody lives in their office that 881 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,840 Speaker 1: is already voting against Obamacare. Listen, I'm not trying to 882 00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:24,040 Speaker 1: hurt Louie Gohmer. I'm just saying that, you know, for 883 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 1: goodness sakes, how about this, how about you guys just 884 00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:29,840 Speaker 1: stay work. You guys have more vacation, Senator, and you 885 00:47:29,880 --> 00:47:31,560 Speaker 1: know that. And I'm not blaming you. You guys have 886 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,440 Speaker 1: more vacation than anybody I know on the face of 887 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 1: the earth. Right My only point is is, you know, 888 00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:37,960 Speaker 1: I think it was Mark Twain who said, you know, 889 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:40,319 Speaker 1: no one is safe from the legislature's in session. We 890 00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,319 Speaker 1: don't do a lot of good things. It's mostly us 891 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,000 Speaker 1: trying to stop bad things from happening. And right now 892 00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 1: there is no agreement. I think the only way we're 893 00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,040 Speaker 1: gonna get agreement on on repealing Obamacare is it's going 894 00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:52,080 Speaker 1: to get worse. I think it's gonna get worse over 895 00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 1: the next six months. There's going to be more areas 896 00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,000 Speaker 1: of the country with one insure monopoly prices and more 897 00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 1: areas with no insure. And and either the Democrats are 898 00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:02,799 Speaker 1: gonna have to come to the table or the weak need. 899 00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,160 Speaker 1: Republicans are gonna have to stand up and say, Okay, 900 00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:07,759 Speaker 1: I've had enough. I'm actually gonna keep my promise and 901 00:48:07,880 --> 00:48:10,400 Speaker 1: vote for repeal. But they need to stay on this 902 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:13,040 Speaker 1: before they go to the tax cuts. And it's here 903 00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:14,759 Speaker 1: they change their mind in two weeks. We had them 904 00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:16,640 Speaker 1: here all night and they they they kind of are 905 00:48:16,680 --> 00:48:18,840 Speaker 1: where they're gonna be. I think the only thing that 906 00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,120 Speaker 1: changes things now is uh, if Obamacare gets worse. But 907 00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: in the meantime, I haven't given up on trying to 908 00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:27,000 Speaker 1: fix this. Like I said it was at the White 909 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,160 Speaker 1: House today, I think there's a good chance that President 910 00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 1: Trump can legalize millions of people to get group insured. 911 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:37,360 Speaker 1: Last question, But that also include being able legally to 912 00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: buy catastrophic plans. And I gotta go that you have 913 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,319 Speaker 1: to get rid of Yes. In some ways, yes, because 914 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,279 Speaker 1: when you join these groups, you can do what you 915 00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,000 Speaker 1: want under under under the Arisk law, some people are 916 00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,759 Speaker 1: free of Obamacare regulations. That is my goal is to 917 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,759 Speaker 1: make them free of regulations. I'll take that. That's a 918 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,480 Speaker 1: good start. As as usual, you you have a lot 919 00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:56,560 Speaker 1: of good ideas. I like that idea, all right, Senator 920 00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:59,479 Speaker 1: thank you eight one, Shawn. I'm toll free telephone number. 921 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:03,440 Speaker 1: Moe Brooks in a battle for the Senate. Republicans lootdown 922 00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: in Alabama's next holding them accountable, Sean. It gets the 923 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:32,239 Speaker 1: answers no one else does. America deserves and know the 924 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:36,800 Speaker 1: truth about Congress. I'm O Brooks, candidate for the Senate, 925 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,920 Speaker 1: and I approved this message. When Mexico sends its people, 926 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:45,319 Speaker 1: they're not sending their best. President Trump promised the wall 927 00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:48,279 Speaker 1: to keep us safe and to protect American jobs for 928 00:49:48,400 --> 00:49:52,959 Speaker 1: American workers. But even some establishment Republicans are blocking the way. 929 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,320 Speaker 1: Elect me to the Senate and I'll fight every spending 930 00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,279 Speaker 1: bill that doesn't fund that wall. And if I have 931 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,680 Speaker 1: to feel about drow on the Center floor, I'll even 932 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,800 Speaker 1: read the King James Bible until the wall is funded. 933 00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:09,399 Speaker 1: And you know what Washington could benefit from that. We're 934 00:50:09,480 --> 00:50:11,560 Speaker 1: going to build that wall, or you'll know the name 935 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:15,320 Speaker 1: of every Republican who surrenders to the Democrats to break 936 00:50:15,520 --> 00:50:19,319 Speaker 1: my filibuster. I give you my word, and I don't 937 00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: give my word like and you know there's an old 938 00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:28,600 Speaker 1: saying that when the going gets tough, the tough get going. 939 00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:31,560 Speaker 1: Now is not the time to leave the American people 940 00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,319 Speaker 1: in a lurch. Now is not the time to leave 941 00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:36,960 Speaker 1: American health care at risk. Now is not the time 942 00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 1: to continue to stress even worse the family budgets as 943 00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:42,279 Speaker 1: parents are trying to take care of their kids. So 944 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,880 Speaker 1: I hope they won't quit. And if they're going to quit, well, 945 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:46,400 Speaker 1: then by God. And maybe they ought to start at 946 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:50,320 Speaker 1: the top with Rich McConnell leaving his position and letting 947 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:53,640 Speaker 1: somebody knew, somebody bowled, somebody conservative take the reins so 948 00:50:53,719 --> 00:50:55,040 Speaker 1: that they can come up with a plan that can 949 00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: get through the United States Senate and serve the needs 950 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,640 Speaker 1: of the American people. You think that the problem is 951 00:50:59,760 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: leader ship, You think it's time for a change for 952 00:51:01,640 --> 00:51:05,799 Speaker 1: the Republicans in the Senate, Well, unquestionably, the leadership at 953 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,399 Speaker 1: the top is responsible. The buck stops there. That's why 954 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,399 Speaker 1: you take on that kind of responsibility. And if Mitch 955 00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 1: McConnell cannot get the job done on this, how is 956 00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 1: he going to get the job done on the rest 957 00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,200 Speaker 1: of President Trump's agenda over the next three and a 958 00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:20,120 Speaker 1: half years. As I see it right now, this is 959 00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,360 Speaker 1: a killer. As you recall from six months ago, if 960 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,359 Speaker 1: we did not get healthcare past. That meant that there 961 00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,560 Speaker 1: would be no tax reform, which in tournment that there 962 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,880 Speaker 1: would be no infrastructure improvements. And if that ends up 963 00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: being the case, as was represented to us in the 964 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,080 Speaker 1: House back in the spring when we forced through a 965 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: healthcare bill, well we need new leadership in the Senator. 966 00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,439 Speaker 1: If they can't get the job done. It's not it's 967 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 1: not necessarily anything bad about Mitch McConnell himself personally, but 968 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,800 Speaker 1: he's got a job to do and if he can't 969 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:50,560 Speaker 1: do it, then, as the apprentice would say, you're fired. 970 00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,040 Speaker 1: Get somebody who can. There you have Moe Brooks, Congressman 971 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 1: from northern Alabama, Huntsville, Alabama, and he's saying, hey, Mitch, 972 00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,880 Speaker 1: you can't get the job done, it's time to go, 973 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,759 Speaker 1: which I agree with wholeheartedly. And he's in a bit 974 00:52:03,800 --> 00:52:06,759 Speaker 1: of a big fight down in Alabama to get the 975 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:10,280 Speaker 1: nomination to replace Senator Jeff Sessions was now the Attorney 976 00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:13,600 Speaker 1: General and Moe Brooks have known for twenty seven years. 977 00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: I knew him in my my local radio Alabama days, 978 00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:20,680 Speaker 1: and he had the great privilege and distinction of filling 979 00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: in for me at the time and did a lot 980 00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,680 Speaker 1: of radio himself. At the time, he was also the 981 00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 1: Madison County District Attorney and he's been working hard for 982 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: the people of Alabama for years. Moe Brooks, welcome back 983 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 1: to the program. How are you. I'm doing fine, Sean. 984 00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:35,719 Speaker 1: How about yourself today? I'm good. Now you're getting You're 985 00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:41,479 Speaker 1: getting attacked on a variety of fronts, and one is 986 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,800 Speaker 1: is that you didn't support Donald Trump in the beginning, 987 00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,600 Speaker 1: and I want to give you an opportunity to address that. 988 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:49,640 Speaker 1: I think that's a fair statement. I was statewide campaign 989 00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: chairman for Ted Cruz and I was also one of 990 00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,840 Speaker 1: his national spokesmen who are asked periodically to be on 991 00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,360 Speaker 1: national TV. So up until the point in time in 992 00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:03,359 Speaker 1: late May, um perhaps June, that Ted Cruise was out 993 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:05,520 Speaker 1: of the race and Donald Trump was locking it up, 994 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,719 Speaker 1: I was using every argument I could possibly conceive of 995 00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,120 Speaker 1: in order to help Ted Cruise win the nomination. But 996 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:14,880 Speaker 1: I will say this, there are three things. One, in October, 997 00:53:15,120 --> 00:53:18,280 Speaker 1: after Access Hollywood, when a lot of Republicans were fleeing 998 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: from Donald Trump, I wrote check to help Donald Trump 999 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,640 Speaker 1: win the state of Florida. That's definitely not something that 1000 00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:28,400 Speaker 1: I never Trumper would have done. Two in that context, 1001 00:53:28,560 --> 00:53:31,520 Speaker 1: Luther Strange, who is miss McConnell's boy in this race, 1002 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,040 Speaker 1: h he appears to be the never Trumper. We've asked 1003 00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:36,560 Speaker 1: him to produce check, asked him to produce some kind 1004 00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,759 Speaker 1: of endorsement of Donald Trump, and he never has. So 1005 00:53:38,800 --> 00:53:41,480 Speaker 1: while he's attacking me, it seems that he's the one 1006 00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:43,600 Speaker 1: that fits the bill for what he's attacking me for. 1007 00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:45,880 Speaker 1: But all that is kind of behind us. What we 1008 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: really need to focus on is the future. And in 1009 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,600 Speaker 1: the United States Congress, if you go to five thirty 1010 00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:53,440 Speaker 1: eight dot com shot I'm sure you're familiar with that website, 1011 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 1: they say that I've voted with Donald trumpent of the 1012 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:59,400 Speaker 1: time on the issues important to the White House, for 1013 00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,680 Speaker 1: the White House has taken a stance that's an aid 1014 00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,040 Speaker 1: in anybody's book. But finally, the entire conservative agenda is dead. 1015 00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:11,080 Speaker 1: The entire Republican agenda is dead. The entire Republican agenda 1016 00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:14,200 Speaker 1: and support of President Donald Trump is dead. If we 1017 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,359 Speaker 1: keep the rule in the United States Senate, we only 1018 00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:20,000 Speaker 1: have fifty two Republican senators. If we have to have 1019 00:54:20,080 --> 00:54:23,560 Speaker 1: sixty votes to pass legislation, that means Chuck Schumer can 1020 00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,439 Speaker 1: block anything that we might want to try to push 1021 00:54:26,480 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 1: through the United States Senate. That kills all of our 1022 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,879 Speaker 1: efforts to reverse the damage that the Democrats have done 1023 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,560 Speaker 1: to our country. But you so, and I had some 1024 00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: conversations with you when the House was was doing repeal, 1025 00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,520 Speaker 1: and I think both of us were a little stunned 1026 00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: at the number of Republicans who had campaigned for years 1027 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 1: and years on they want to repeal and replace, They 1028 00:54:46,280 --> 00:54:48,680 Speaker 1: had no intention of ever doing it, and look at 1029 00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:50,760 Speaker 1: the Senate now, they can't even do a simple repeal. 1030 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,960 Speaker 1: And my argument, I think yours too, because I think 1031 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:56,879 Speaker 1: we agree on this, is there's really no excuse now 1032 00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,000 Speaker 1: when you have the House, the Senate, and White House 1033 00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,839 Speaker 1: not to get It's not going to be the perfect bill. 1034 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 1: It's not going to be the Moe Brooks and Sean 1035 00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,839 Speaker 1: Hannity bill, but they ought to get something done. Well. 1036 00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,360 Speaker 1: I agree with that wholeheartedly. But there's a bigger picture 1037 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,040 Speaker 1: on this sixty percent rule the United States Senate. The 1038 00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 1: presidents figured out that the President's agenda is dead for 1039 00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,160 Speaker 1: three and a half years at the standard capacities, and 1040 00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,880 Speaker 1: I state Senate is six percent. When we have of 1041 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: the body that is Republican and so he's asked us 1042 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,400 Speaker 1: to go to majority rule in the Senate. I agree 1043 00:55:24,480 --> 00:55:26,920 Speaker 1: with the majority rule in the Senate. And Luther Strange, 1044 00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:30,200 Speaker 1: my opponent, has signed a letter urging Mitch McConnell and 1045 00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:34,720 Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer the Democrat to retain the sixty rule, thereby 1046 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,120 Speaker 1: empowering Chuck Schumer the Democrats to balk everything we want 1047 00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 1: to do in our country's futures at stake sewn. We 1048 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,040 Speaker 1: cannot afford to waste this opportunity. But unless we get 1049 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 1: more Republicans the United States Senate that will act like 1050 00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:52,400 Speaker 1: they're the majority, then we're just sitting our wheels. You know, 1051 00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:55,319 Speaker 1: I'm I'm watching you, and I share your passion, and 1052 00:55:55,440 --> 00:55:58,080 Speaker 1: I agree, and I'd like to get to the number sixty. 1053 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,360 Speaker 1: But then are we're gonna be able to count our Akowski, Collins, 1054 00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,600 Speaker 1: McCain and a bunch of others that really have been 1055 00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:07,920 Speaker 1: so disappointing to us. Um With that said, what did 1056 00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,959 Speaker 1: you think of Lindsay Graham's proposal about all right, let's 1057 00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 1: block grant it all back to states and if California 1058 00:56:13,840 --> 00:56:17,120 Speaker 1: wants a single payer system and let them have a 1059 00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,640 Speaker 1: single payer system of Alabama is smart enough, and I 1060 00:56:19,680 --> 00:56:21,920 Speaker 1: believe it is to do something that maybe like the 1061 00:56:21,960 --> 00:56:25,080 Speaker 1: cooperatives that I talked about in Wichita, Kansas, where you 1062 00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,759 Speaker 1: can get concierge care for fifty bucks and adult and 1063 00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:30,200 Speaker 1: ten bucks for a kid and get a catastrophic plan 1064 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:32,680 Speaker 1: on top of it, and the people Alabama will do 1065 00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,600 Speaker 1: much better than the people of California. Ultimately, do you 1066 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 1: like that idea? I'm for states rights, and to the 1067 00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:41,760 Speaker 1: extent the federal government is gonna be involved in this issue, 1068 00:56:42,719 --> 00:56:45,160 Speaker 1: let's limit that involvement to the amount of money we're 1069 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:47,480 Speaker 1: going to dedicate to it. Send it to the fifty states, 1070 00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:50,399 Speaker 1: that the fifty states be the inturbators of ideas, their 1071 00:56:50,440 --> 00:56:53,560 Speaker 1: spindamental place, those that get it right, that get it 1072 00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,120 Speaker 1: done best, and you just get some examples, but others 1073 00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 1: can encopy it. But if you have the federal government 1074 00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:01,840 Speaker 1: dictating top down, then there's one chance, and if we 1075 00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: get it wrong, people are gonna lose their lives. I 1076 00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,399 Speaker 1: much prefer the fifty state approach, and I am very 1077 00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:11,680 Speaker 1: intrigued by what Lindsay Graham and others are now offering. 1078 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,120 Speaker 1: Let's see if the Senate can get off the desk 1079 00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 1: and get that job done. Now, last question, if the 1080 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,960 Speaker 1: guy that you are running against, that is the temporarily 1081 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:27,960 Speaker 1: took the slot of Jeff Sessions, you believe, has ethical issues, 1082 00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:33,640 Speaker 1: tell us about those huge ethical issues. We're having to 1083 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:36,760 Speaker 1: incur fifteen million dollars in the state of Alabama to 1084 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:42,320 Speaker 1: pay for a special election solely because Attorney then Attorney 1085 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,680 Speaker 1: General Luther Strange, when he sought the appointment from the 1086 00:57:46,760 --> 00:57:50,600 Speaker 1: Governor of Alabama, who has since been disgraced and left office, 1087 00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 1: was holding over the head of the governor a criminal investigation, 1088 00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 1: and with the use of that criminal investigation, he, Luther Strange, 1089 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 1: was able to obtain personal gain, that being a U 1090 00:58:03,720 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 1: S syndency. Now, every prosecutor knows that your job is 1091 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: to represent the people the state of Alabama in this instance, 1092 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:15,400 Speaker 1: and you do not cut side deals with a criminal 1093 00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:19,440 Speaker 1: defendant or a target of a criminal investigation that benefits 1094 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 1: you personally. That violates every ethical rule book that there is. 1095 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:28,160 Speaker 1: Do you think cause the governor decided to speed it 1096 00:58:28,240 --> 00:58:33,080 Speaker 1: up because of the ethical cloud associated with that kind 1097 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:38,200 Speaker 1: of unethical conduct. That's a pretty big charge, um, And 1098 00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:42,040 Speaker 1: has anybody responded to that? Well, there is no response. 1099 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,760 Speaker 1: Everybody knows it. It's true. Um, the governor ended up 1100 00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:49,280 Speaker 1: leading guilty and he was doing him and Luther Strange 1101 00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: was doing the investigation. In general he was he had 1102 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:55,680 Speaker 1: to resign thereafter, and Luther Strange was doing the investigation 1103 00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 1: the unethical conduct. Well, I gotta give you credit for 1104 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:00,680 Speaker 1: one other thing. I've known you all these years, so 1105 00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:02,960 Speaker 1: I know you're a man of great integrity, and I 1106 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,000 Speaker 1: know you believe everything you say, which I love. And 1107 00:59:05,040 --> 00:59:07,919 Speaker 1: you're also a member the Freedom Caucus, and frankly, that's 1108 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,280 Speaker 1: one of the few groups of people in Washington I 1109 00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 1: feel I can now trust anymore. And that's sad, but 1110 00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:14,960 Speaker 1: I wish you a lot of luck here. I do 1111 00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,920 Speaker 1: think people need to look at the fact that you 1112 00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,920 Speaker 1: did support Donald Trump in the general election. There's nothing 1113 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:23,280 Speaker 1: wrong with supporting Ted Cruz in the primary. I happen 1114 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:25,720 Speaker 1: to be a fan of Ted Cruise to UM, and 1115 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,360 Speaker 1: I think he's been doing great work, especially on healthcare. 1116 00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,360 Speaker 1: His amendment that he was putting together on healthcare was amazing, 1117 00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:34,440 Speaker 1: and he's been very supportive, working hard for the President 1118 00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,120 Speaker 1: to keep promises, unlike a lot of these other people. So, uh, 1119 00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 1: Moe Brooks, I wish you luck in the primary. Uh, 1120 00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,920 Speaker 1: and I appreciate you being with us. We really appreciate 1121 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,280 Speaker 1: your time. And when is this primary? The primary is 1122 00:59:46,320 --> 00:59:49,080 Speaker 1: two weeks from today August.

That's what I'm 1130 01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,880 Speaker 1: up against in the state of Alabama. And I need 1131 01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,760 Speaker 1: conservatives across the United States to rally to our cause 1132 01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,440 Speaker 1: if we're gonna get our ships straightened in the United 1133 01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:20,400 Speaker 1: States Senate and in the Washington d C.

It all 1150 01:01:09,280 --> 01:01:13,120 Speaker 1: depends right around solstice we get about alright. So on 1151 01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:15,520 Speaker 1: the worst day of the year, the darkest day of 1152 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,600 Speaker 1: the year, how many hours of sunshine do you get? 1153 01:01:18,200 --> 01:01:21,240 Speaker 1: Between four and six? I think, I mean, isn't that 1154 01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:24,320 Speaker 1: Isn't that devastating? Doesn't that like dark in your day? 1155 01:01:24,800 --> 01:01:27,000 Speaker 1: You know something? It makes upsurd in the summertime when 1156 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:29,320 Speaker 1: you get all the light. I'm from New York. Originally 1157 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm up here, but I like it up here. You 1158 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,400 Speaker 1: know what's funny. I mean, I'm not trying to take 1159 01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,120 Speaker 1: your time away but I'm just fascinated by it. I 1160 01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,880 Speaker 1: watch all those Alaska shows out in the wilderness kind 1161 01:01:37,880 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 1: of shows, and and people living out and and literally 1162 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 1: off the grid, et cetera. I mean, it's pretty amazing 1163 01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:47,440 Speaker 1: how people live. It's so different from my life experience 1164 01:01:47,560 --> 01:01:50,880 Speaker 1: that I'm I'm fascinated by it. Anchorage is like the city, 1165 01:01:50,920 --> 01:01:53,400 Speaker 1: so it's totally different than everything you see in the shows, 1166 01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:57,320 Speaker 1: but is probably the most realistic show you get. All right, 1167 01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,800 Speaker 1: So what's on your mind today? I'm just frustrated with 1168 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,560 Speaker 1: new Susy. I mean, I didn't vote for her because 1169 01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:05,080 Speaker 1: I knew she was like this, but no, I was 1170 01:02:05,240 --> 01:02:08,160 Speaker 1: sixty hours a week. I don't have health insurance right now. 1171 01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,160 Speaker 1: Health insurance for me is five dollars a month with 1172 01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,600 Speaker 1: the five thousand dollars deductable by the end of the 1173 01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: year with they start cooking, and I'm gonna spend ten 1174 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:20,000 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. It's absolutely ridiculous and I'm set up. I 1175 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,840 Speaker 1: don't know why they can't make health in Chance like 1176 01:02:21,960 --> 01:02:25,080 Speaker 1: Carr and Chance. Why I can't, you know, join a cooperative? 1177 01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: Why can't It's ridiculous and I'm tired of it. You know, 1178 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 1: Look I get it, and I think this goes for 1179 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people in the Senate, in the House. 1180 01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna really have to start re evaluating, 1181 01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:37,880 Speaker 1: and we really have to start asking ourselves that is 1182 01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,560 Speaker 1: this the person that we wanted in office? And I 1183 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 1: think I'm going to spend more time focused on primaries 1184 01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:45,120 Speaker 1: than I ever have in the past. I've always tried 1185 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 1: to stay out of that stuff, and I'm just gonna 1186 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,280 Speaker 1: pay attention. And if you're one of the senators that 1187 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,200 Speaker 1: did not go along with doing your job and getting 1188 01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,440 Speaker 1: this over the finish line, I can't support you anymore. 1189 01:02:54,560 --> 01:02:57,000 Speaker 1: I won't support you. I can't support you, especially if 1190 01:02:57,000 --> 01:02:59,040 Speaker 1: you're one that promised to repeal and replace and you 1191 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 1: didn't do it, because you could have at least repealed 1192 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 1: the thing and started from there and begun the process 1193 01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,160 Speaker 1: of transitioning to the better plan, and that would have 1194 01:03:06,200 --> 01:03:09,080 Speaker 1: been fine with me. I was perfectly perfectly acceptable that 1195 01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,720 Speaker 1: you do a piece meal. So I'm I'm disappointed like you, 1196 01:03:11,800 --> 01:03:14,520 Speaker 1: and I think if there's no consequences for their actions, 1197 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: then I think that you're gonna get the government you deserve. Anyway, 1198 01:03:18,120 --> 01:03:20,360 Speaker 1: Tony stay warmed, my friend, God bless you Davis in 1199 01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:22,720 Speaker 1: Syracuse and upstate New York. What's up, Dave? How are 1200 01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:25,240 Speaker 1: you glad you called? Sir? Hey? Thanks JN thanks for 1201 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 1: taking my call. Hey. Uh, you know, I've got a 1202 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:31,120 Speaker 1: few thoughts about the Republicans. I think Donald Trump should 1203 01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:34,040 Speaker 1: hold the class and teach these people what it's like 1204 01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:38,120 Speaker 1: to win. They've been so accustomed to being losers so long, 1205 01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:40,600 Speaker 1: they don't know what it's like to have the ball 1206 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 1: in an open field and know how to win. And 1207 01:03:43,280 --> 01:03:45,720 Speaker 1: even the best of them, like Jeff's Sessions, I think 1208 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,680 Speaker 1: the reason that Trump is so upset with them is 1209 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:54,160 Speaker 1: Sessions should immediately call for a special prosecutor and look 1210 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:57,760 Speaker 1: into James Comey and Robert Mueller and all of the 1211 01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:01,520 Speaker 1: Democratic lackeys that Mueller's hired and turn their lives upside 1212 01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,000 Speaker 1: down like Mueller's doing to Trump. Uh. That's where the 1213 01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:09,160 Speaker 1: vulnerability to President Trump is. It's not looking into Hillary Clinton. 1214 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 1: She was last year's Super Bowl. Trump already knows he 1215 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,360 Speaker 1: won that. As a matter of fact, keeping the Clinton's 1216 01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:17,880 Speaker 1: at the head of the Democratic Party is probably the 1217 01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:20,280 Speaker 1: best thing every Publicans can do. The stench of the 1218 01:04:20,320 --> 01:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Clinton's and all the people associated with him, can only 1219 01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,360 Speaker 1: hurt the Democrats. All Right, I gotta go, but listen, 1220 01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,640 Speaker 1: I've been calling on specific names. I'll even do it 1221 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,080 Speaker 1: again tonight on TV. Just lay out the names of 1222 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 1: the people that need to be questioned under oath. Some 1223 01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:38,000 Speaker 1: need to be investigated, some should be indicted, and some 1224 01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:41,280 Speaker 1: should be tried one Seawn, if you want to be 1225 01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 1: a part of the program, will take a quick break. 1226 01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:46,760 Speaker 1: We'll come back. Uh, an investigative report about Debbie Wasson 1227 01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:51,160 Speaker 1: and Schultz and this bizarre handling of this I T guy, 1228 01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:58,480 Speaker 1: What were they trying to hide? Next? Coming up next, 1229 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,880 Speaker 1: our final news around a ban, Information Overload, Our right 1230 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,200 Speaker 1: news round up, Information Overload hour. This is the Sean 1231 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,200 Speaker 1: Hannity Show. Right down our toll free telephone number. Remember 1232 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:12,760 Speaker 1: when Debbie Wasserman Schultz was threatening the U. S. Capitol 1233 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:17,000 Speaker 1: Police for gathering evidence on her I T staffers, you 1234 01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: know whatever it was. I guess it was a computer 1235 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,000 Speaker 1: that she had had a laptop, and she really goes 1236 01:05:23,080 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 1: at the Capitol police guy, and the Capitol police guy, no, 1237 01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna keep this, and then this has now gotten 1238 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:32,960 Speaker 1: deeper and deeper. At no time did the FBI, the 1239 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,960 Speaker 1: d h S or any intelligence agency contact me about 1240 01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 1: a breach by Russia. J Johnson testifying the Peter King 1241 01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 1: that the d n C declined the Department of Homeland 1242 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:47,760 Speaker 1: Securities offer to fight Russian hacking, and Johnson said the 1243 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: d n C CrowdStrike security firm Ember, they brought them 1244 01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,040 Speaker 1: into help. They wouldn't let the FBI have access to 1245 01:05:53,040 --> 01:05:55,920 Speaker 1: their computers. Then you got this whole Debbie Wasserman should 1246 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: story about her. I T guy double billing family members 1247 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,920 Speaker 1: on boards without experience, we're told. Then she keeps this 1248 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,959 Speaker 1: guy knowing that they've been double builled. Everybody else gets 1249 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:08,080 Speaker 1: rid of this guy. And then he's trying to sneak 1250 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:10,560 Speaker 1: off to Pakistan and he's got what he's got an 1251 01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,480 Speaker 1: ankle bracelet on after wiring nearly three hundred thousand dollars 1252 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,280 Speaker 1: to his future location. How did he get all that 1253 01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: money than he was, of course arrested. Now, the question 1254 01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:23,480 Speaker 1: I guess everybody has is very simple. How is it 1255 01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:27,120 Speaker 1: possible that you have to government hard drives that are 1256 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 1: smashed in the garage of this guy when we know 1257 01:06:30,040 --> 01:06:33,000 Speaker 1: that this firm, this group of people, this guy in particular, 1258 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,520 Speaker 1: were involved in double billing and when you put all 1259 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,800 Speaker 1: these stories together, what do we got. Let's remind you 1260 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 1: what Debbie Wasserman Schultz said and also what j Johnson said. 1261 01:06:41,680 --> 01:06:47,000 Speaker 1: Can you elaborate more on what the DHS is uh 1262 01:06:47,240 --> 01:06:50,640 Speaker 1: connection with the d n C was. Consultation with the 1263 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:52,800 Speaker 1: d n C was after he became aware of the 1264 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,360 Speaker 1: hacking and they became aware of the hacking. As to 1265 01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:58,600 Speaker 1: what was offered them, what they accepted. Was there any 1266 01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,600 Speaker 1: level of cooperation at um to my disappointment, not to 1267 01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 1: my knowledge, sir um. And this is a question I 1268 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,360 Speaker 1: asked repeatedly when I first learned of it. You know, 1269 01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: what are we doing? Are we in there? Are we 1270 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:15,040 Speaker 1: helping them discover the vulnerabilities? Because this was fresh off 1271 01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:18,439 Speaker 1: the o p M experience, and there was a point 1272 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:22,520 Speaker 1: at which DHS cybersecurity experts did get into o p 1273 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,920 Speaker 1: M and actually helped them discover the bad actors and 1274 01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,040 Speaker 1: patch some of the ex filtrations or at least minimize 1275 01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 1: some of the damage. And so I was anxious to 1276 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 1: know whether or not our folks were in there. And 1277 01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:38,800 Speaker 1: the response I got was FBI had spoken to them, Uh, 1278 01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:43,439 Speaker 1: they don't want our help. They have CrowdStrike. The cybersecurity firm, 1279 01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 1: And that was the answer I got after I asked 1280 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: the question a number of times over the progression of time. Respectfully, 1281 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:55,000 Speaker 1: the Secretary Johnson is is utterly misinformed. That is simply 1282 01:07:55,000 --> 01:07:57,800 Speaker 1: not accurate. And much that has been has been written 1283 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,680 Speaker 1: about the timeline of events by New York Times, the 1284 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:05,800 Speaker 1: Washington Post that document through multiple sources, including me, that 1285 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:12,040 Speaker 1: that the the FBI and other federal agencies did virtually 1286 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:16,160 Speaker 1: nothing to make sure that when they were aware, at 1287 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 1: the point that they were aware that there was or 1288 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:20,920 Speaker 1: concerned that there was an intrusion on our network by 1289 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:24,400 Speaker 1: the Russians, that they did virtually nothing to sound the 1290 01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:26,360 Speaker 1: alarm bells to make us aware of that, and they 1291 01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: left essentially the Russians on our network for more than 1292 01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,920 Speaker 1: for almost a year. Under my understanding, the Capital Police 1293 01:08:33,920 --> 01:08:37,719 Speaker 1: is not able to confiscate members equipment when the member 1294 01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 1: is not under investigation. It is their equipment and it's 1295 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 1: supposed to be returned. Well, I think there's extenuating circumstances 1296 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,640 Speaker 1: in this case, and I think I think that you know, 1297 01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 1: working through my council, and you know the necessary personnel 1298 01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 1: if if that in fact is the case, and with 1299 01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:59,080 Speaker 1: the permission of through the investigation and more returned equipment. 1300 01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:02,840 Speaker 1: But it told accomplished. I can't try to quit. I 1301 01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:05,479 Speaker 1: think you're violating the rules when you when you conduct 1302 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,920 Speaker 1: your business that way, and should expects that there would 1303 01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,440 Speaker 1: be consequences. All right, joining us now is the investigative 1304 01:09:12,439 --> 01:09:15,000 Speaker 1: reporter who blew this wide open. He works for the 1305 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 1: Daily Caller. Luke Rosiac is back with us. How are you, sir, 1306 01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I'm good. Thanks for having me, Sean. All right, this 1307 01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,320 Speaker 1: is getting bigger and bigger, isn't it amazing? If you 1308 01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,200 Speaker 1: took out the name Debbie Wasson and Schultz and you 1309 01:09:27,240 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 1: put it in Rhys previous when he was the RNC 1310 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 1: head or the current r n C head, and you 1311 01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 1: put their name in there, and you say, Okay, Now 1312 01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 1: you've got these two busted up hard drives. You got 1313 01:09:38,840 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 1: this guy over billing, You've got unqualified people working in 1314 01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:44,439 Speaker 1: the I T Department that may have access to all 1315 01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 1: the classified information that some of the Democratic Party congressmen have, 1316 01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 1: and she does everything in her power to keep this 1317 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:55,320 Speaker 1: guy on the payroll, and all this happens. How do 1318 01:09:55,320 --> 01:10:00,280 Speaker 1: you read this? Well, just to the criminal investigator sation 1319 01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:05,559 Speaker 1: into cyber breaches UM. That is information that likely went 1320 01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,040 Speaker 1: outside of the Capitol Police, the Capitol network as well 1321 01:10:09,080 --> 01:10:14,719 Speaker 1: as UH theft going on since and these guys UH, 1322 01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,360 Speaker 1: it seems like they learned about the investigation and they 1323 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: frantically began liquidating assets. So they sold four houses UH 1324 01:10:22,439 --> 01:10:27,639 Speaker 1: from November often onwards. In the since June twentie they've 1325 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:32,000 Speaker 1: sold or are selling three houses UH. The wife got 1326 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:34,280 Speaker 1: on a plane to Pakistan with twelve thousand knowledge in 1327 01:10:34,360 --> 01:10:38,719 Speaker 1: cash in March, which was just days after UH Capitol 1328 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,720 Speaker 1: Police formally sort of announced and banned these guys from 1329 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:46,080 Speaker 1: the network. And then the guy Imron most recently tried 1330 01:10:46,120 --> 01:10:49,920 Speaker 1: to leave just last week and the FBI did stop him. 1331 01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:52,920 Speaker 1: So it's very clear that they were fleeing. That's a 1332 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:56,080 Speaker 1: fair characterization of this. They knew that they were criminal suspects. 1333 01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:59,360 Speaker 1: Debbie Watson Chults also knew their criminal suspects, and it 1334 01:10:59,400 --> 01:11:02,559 Speaker 1: appears that he knew that the wife left because she 1335 01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:04,679 Speaker 1: took her off the payroll, like right after she boarded 1336 01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:07,200 Speaker 1: a plane. And then we were told by this guy's 1337 01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:10,679 Speaker 1: lawyer that the house was informed that he was going 1338 01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,479 Speaker 1: to Pakistan as well. So it seems the w W. 1339 01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:16,160 Speaker 1: Michulz knew that this other guy was leaving too well, 1340 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,639 Speaker 1: I mean the whole thing. Let's go through the story 1341 01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: completely here, and what you know about this guy in 1342 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,280 Speaker 1: particular and about the people that were being paid. Let's 1343 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:27,559 Speaker 1: whose name is uh lebron Owana? Is that his name? 1344 01:11:27,800 --> 01:11:30,559 Speaker 1: The Congressional Aid tried to send three so wired three 1345 01:11:30,600 --> 01:11:33,360 Speaker 1: hundred grand of Pakistan. Right now, let's talk about what 1346 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 1: we know about him and the people they got what 1347 01:11:35,520 --> 01:11:38,720 Speaker 1: over four million dollars in payments? Right And I've been 1348 01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:42,200 Speaker 1: investigating these guys for the last six months, since before 1349 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:44,880 Speaker 1: this arrest and before they started doing more attention to it. 1350 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 1: And I know a lot about these guys, and what 1351 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,160 Speaker 1: stood out to me the most is what seems to 1352 01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,000 Speaker 1: be a ghost employee scheme. So right after him Rom 1353 01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,679 Speaker 1: started working for W. WARSONN. Schultz a decade ago, you've 1354 01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 1: got four of his relatives and two of his friends 1355 01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 1: joined the payroll. And they're literally making about as much 1356 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: as members of Converse made, which is not at all 1357 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,680 Speaker 1: normal for an I T. Guy. And what's more, um, 1358 01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:09,840 Speaker 1: you know some of these guys spent significant amount of 1359 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 1: time in Pakistan every year. One of them was running 1360 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 1: a car dealership, one of them was a twenty year 1361 01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,800 Speaker 1: old college student. One of them worked at McDonald's. So 1362 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 1: there's indications to believe that these guys were not actually working, 1363 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 1: and yet they're making these exorbitant salaries. So even before 1364 01:12:26,520 --> 01:12:30,960 Speaker 1: these extremely uh wassonan joult is clear reluctance to fire 1365 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: this guy in her very strong desire to keep paying 1366 01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:36,320 Speaker 1: him no matter how weird it looked. You have a 1367 01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:41,080 Speaker 1: decade of payments that were suspicious from the beginning, and 1368 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,439 Speaker 1: some members of Congress should have or would have known. 1369 01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:47,120 Speaker 1: It seems that these guys were not actually working. And 1370 01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:49,240 Speaker 1: you know, that does raise the question of why they 1371 01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,759 Speaker 1: would sign off on those pay sheets. And that's where 1372 01:12:51,840 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: it does become concerning that they did have access to 1373 01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,800 Speaker 1: all their emails and files. Unbelievable. So you've got a 1374 01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,880 Speaker 1: bunch of guys working for some of one's running a 1375 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:05,200 Speaker 1: card dealership, another McDonald's. The somebody that's working at McDonald's 1376 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,479 Speaker 1: have the skills to be an I T person, You 1377 01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,639 Speaker 1: wouldn't think so. And you know, and as soon as 1378 01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,479 Speaker 1: this guy got busted by the FBR and he got 1379 01:13:13,520 --> 01:13:17,320 Speaker 1: he got this lawyer that was like, um, a close 1380 01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:19,439 Speaker 1: aid to Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton. I don't know 1381 01:13:19,479 --> 01:13:21,720 Speaker 1: how a random I T guy gets that lawyer, but 1382 01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,920 Speaker 1: he's been saying all kinds of stuff, like they just 1383 01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,599 Speaker 1: had to leave the country because they didn't have any money. 1384 01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:28,799 Speaker 1: They couldn't afford to live in the DC area anymore. 1385 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:31,920 Speaker 1: But it's a public record that these guys, just a 1386 01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,000 Speaker 1: husband and wife alone, we're making a hundred and sixty 1387 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,040 Speaker 1: five thousand dollars ships, three thirty thousand dollars a year. 1388 01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,639 Speaker 1: They owned like five houses. Uh So it just doesn't 1389 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:44,040 Speaker 1: make any sense. I mean, it's that that money does 1390 01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:46,799 Speaker 1: appear to have left this country because they don't seem 1391 01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:51,200 Speaker 1: to have extracted extravagant lifestyles in this country. Um, but 1392 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:53,599 Speaker 1: it seems like it's either going to pack standard somewhere else. 1393 01:13:53,840 --> 01:13:57,679 Speaker 1: Pretty amazing amount of money, Pretty interesting story. Why would 1394 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,519 Speaker 1: Debbie Wassonman Shoultz be fighting with the Capital a police 1395 01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,880 Speaker 1: so hard and why would government hard drives be busted 1396 01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:06,880 Speaker 1: up in this guy's garage? What do you speculate? Well, 1397 01:14:06,960 --> 01:14:11,519 Speaker 1: Watsman Schultz has retained an outside attorney to argue speech 1398 01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 1: and Debate clause to prevent the Capitol Police from examining 1399 01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 1: this laptop, which I'm told the Capitol police took after 1400 01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:21,639 Speaker 1: im Rom left it, So there's reason to believe it's 1401 01:14:21,640 --> 01:14:25,080 Speaker 1: im Ron's laptop, not hers, But she doesn't want them 1402 01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,599 Speaker 1: to see it. UM. And speech and debate clause would 1403 01:14:28,600 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 1: typically protect like her own political activity, legislative activity, it 1404 01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:35,080 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't really apply here. So she really doesn't seem 1405 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,600 Speaker 1: to want anyone to see what's on that laptop, and 1406 01:14:38,680 --> 01:14:42,000 Speaker 1: she really seems to want to keep paying this guy UM. 1407 01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 1: So you know, there are concerns that you could be 1408 01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:50,200 Speaker 1: using her emails against her and threatening to blackmail or 1409 01:14:50,320 --> 01:14:53,280 Speaker 1: to release these emails if she doesn't, you know, protect 1410 01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:55,479 Speaker 1: them and keep them on the payroll. It's a very 1411 01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:58,519 Speaker 1: legitimate concern when you consider that these guys are separately 1412 01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 1: facing a civil lawsuit in Fairfax County, Virginia involving their 1413 01:15:03,160 --> 01:15:08,439 Speaker 1: own stepmother, saying that they um installed high tech listening 1414 01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:12,479 Speaker 1: devices in her house and on her computer, and they 1415 01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:14,639 Speaker 1: were using it to monitor her, to tell her she's 1416 01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:16,679 Speaker 1: not allowed to leave the house or to speak to anyone, 1417 01:15:17,200 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: And the goal of all this intimidation was basically to 1418 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 1: get her to sign this power of attorney in Pakistan 1419 01:15:23,920 --> 01:15:27,120 Speaker 1: that would give them access to money over there. So 1420 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:29,360 Speaker 1: there's reason to believe that they were putting money in 1421 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:32,719 Speaker 1: their father's name. Their father died, so the mom would 1422 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:35,360 Speaker 1: get access to the father's bank accounts. And it seems 1423 01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,040 Speaker 1: like they definitely wanted to make sure that they got 1424 01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,400 Speaker 1: to get access to this Pakistani bank accounts. Unbelievable. All right, 1425 01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:43,639 Speaker 1: stay right there, we'll continue, We'll have more with Luke 1426 01:15:43,760 --> 01:15:46,679 Speaker 1: rosy act of the Daily Caller. This Debbie Wasserman Schultz. 1427 01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:49,320 Speaker 1: Imagine if it's the r n C, and imagine it's 1428 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,400 Speaker 1: the RNC chairman, and imagine that the RNC chairman is 1429 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,439 Speaker 1: protecting somebody this closely as well. What is it that 1430 01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: they're hiding, because it's obvious they're hiding, and what is this, 1431 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, proclivity of the Democrats that they love to 1432 01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:06,160 Speaker 1: smash devices into smithereens or bleach bit them or just 1433 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:18,240 Speaker 1: delete them and get rid of them completely. Right, As 1434 01:16:18,280 --> 01:16:21,240 Speaker 1: we continue to investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is with The 1435 01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,080 Speaker 1: Daily Caller and he's updating us on the very latest. 1436 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,120 Speaker 1: Imagine a Republican r n C chair uh At is 1437 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:31,000 Speaker 1: hiring a guy that they know that double billed is 1438 01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:35,160 Speaker 1: hiring people that seem unqualified for I T positions, paying 1439 01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 1: as much as the chiefs of staffs of many members 1440 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,040 Speaker 1: of Congress, which is a very high amount of money 1441 01:16:41,080 --> 01:16:43,320 Speaker 1: to be paying them. And you find out one's running 1442 01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:45,800 Speaker 1: a card dealership and other works at McDonald's until he 1443 01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 1: was fired and at which point he sat home all day, 1444 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,360 Speaker 1: and a third I T person was a twenty year 1445 01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,160 Speaker 1: old college student, and multiple members of the group spent 1446 01:16:53,400 --> 01:16:56,719 Speaker 1: a month at a time in Pakistan. Do you worry 1447 01:16:56,760 --> 01:17:00,439 Speaker 1: about this more from an intelligence vantage point or do 1448 01:17:00,479 --> 01:17:03,559 Speaker 1: you worry about other things that could possibly be revealed? 1449 01:17:03,600 --> 01:17:06,080 Speaker 1: For example, one of the things that I have a 1450 01:17:06,120 --> 01:17:09,040 Speaker 1: lot of questions about. Remember the firing of Debbie Wasson 1451 01:17:09,040 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: and Schultz and others on the eve of the convention. 1452 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:13,759 Speaker 1: And remember we now also have learned that the fix 1453 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:16,679 Speaker 1: was in against Bernie Sanders. Do you think it's possible 1454 01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:20,479 Speaker 1: that maybe evidence of the collusion between Hillary's campaign and 1455 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:22,920 Speaker 1: Debbie Wassonon Schultz is that part of the reason that 1456 01:17:23,040 --> 01:17:26,000 Speaker 1: she wanted this information destroyed. Well, if you search him 1457 01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:28,360 Speaker 1: on his name in Wicky Leaks, he does come up. 1458 01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,680 Speaker 1: And there's people involved with the d n C who 1459 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,640 Speaker 1: are like on a first name basis with him, and 1460 01:17:33,120 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 1: when they need access to Debbie Wassonon Schultz's personal iPad, 1461 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,240 Speaker 1: they call him. So he was involved in some capacity. 1462 01:17:39,360 --> 01:17:41,920 Speaker 1: I don't particularly think he would have had access or 1463 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:44,040 Speaker 1: at least I haven't seen any evidence indicating who would 1464 01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,160 Speaker 1: have had access to the d n C servers. But 1465 01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:50,080 Speaker 1: there's just without Wasson, not the servers necessarily, but Debbie 1466 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:54,080 Speaker 1: Wasson Schultze's emails, which could in some way implicate her. 1467 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:57,040 Speaker 1: I mean, because we all know that the primary was rigged, 1468 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,519 Speaker 1: and we all know that Bernie Sanders and his supporters, 1469 01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,879 Speaker 1: which he did, and we know that the DNC was involved, 1470 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:05,320 Speaker 1: don't we And there's no doubt that Imron had access 1471 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:09,679 Speaker 1: to all of Debbie Wasserman Schultz's emails. Uh so really 1472 01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:13,160 Speaker 1: anything that she did, uh Imbrom could have read about. 1473 01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,439 Speaker 1: And there's no doubt that he's a bad guy. I mean, 1474 01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:17,679 Speaker 1: he's been accused and his family members have been accused 1475 01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:22,000 Speaker 1: of fraud numerous times. So for the attorney to go 1476 01:18:22,080 --> 01:18:24,240 Speaker 1: out there and say this is just about bank fraud, 1477 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,559 Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, anyone who takes thirty seconds 1478 01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:29,080 Speaker 1: to look into this, it's transparently not true that Bed 1479 01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,719 Speaker 1: was surveiling his house as part of a long running 1480 01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: criminal investigation into his activities on Capitol Hill. The only 1481 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 1: reason they charged him with bank fraud is because he 1482 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,559 Speaker 1: tried to flee the country and then needed a way 1483 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:44,240 Speaker 1: to take his passport so this broader investigation UM could continue. 1484 01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:48,080 Speaker 1: How long did Debbie Wassonman Shultz keep him on knowing 1485 01:18:48,160 --> 01:18:52,280 Speaker 1: that he had double build Well, the Capitol police investigation 1486 01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,280 Speaker 1: was revealed and he was banned from the Capitol network, 1487 01:18:55,320 --> 01:18:59,839 Speaker 1: which is very rare UM on February second, and He's 1488 01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,040 Speaker 1: layer says that he told the house that he was 1489 01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:05,760 Speaker 1: going to go to Pakistan on you know um five 1490 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,920 Speaker 1: months later, almost six months later in John July, and 1491 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,599 Speaker 1: Wassman Schultz said she only fired him because of the arrest, 1492 01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:16,280 Speaker 1: So that clearly implies that she intended to continue to 1493 01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:19,719 Speaker 1: pay him even while he was in Pakistan while also 1494 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:23,599 Speaker 1: being the suspect in a criminal investigation. She's also said 1495 01:19:23,640 --> 01:19:27,080 Speaker 1: that he was serving as a technology advisor after he 1496 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:28,840 Speaker 1: was banned, because you have to ask why would you 1497 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,800 Speaker 1: pay an I T guy who can't who's not allowed 1498 01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,760 Speaker 1: to touch computers. She said he was advising her on 1499 01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:37,920 Speaker 1: technology issues. So if it turns out that the members 1500 01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,439 Speaker 1: of Congress decided that he shouldn't touch the network and 1501 01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,760 Speaker 1: she helped, she had him still access it in some way, 1502 01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:45,439 Speaker 1: even if he gets on the phone and tells other 1503 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:48,040 Speaker 1: people are stands over their shoulder or who knows what, 1504 01:19:48,200 --> 01:19:50,960 Speaker 1: because he was seen in the Capitol building after that time. 1505 01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,120 Speaker 1: I think that would really jeopardize and also be sort 1506 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:56,200 Speaker 1: of a slap in the face two other members of Congress, 1507 01:19:56,240 --> 01:20:00,000 Speaker 1: And that's something that members are interested in. People like uh, 1508 01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,880 Speaker 1: I've got far along und round. De Santis was saying, 1509 01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,160 Speaker 1: you know, she should probably testify that this kind of thing. 1510 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,240 Speaker 1: I totally agree she needs to testify. And I gotta 1511 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 1: give you credit. You've done a lot of legwork on this, 1512 01:20:10,320 --> 01:20:12,880 Speaker 1: and you've really worked very hard. I know the media 1513 01:20:12,960 --> 01:20:15,240 Speaker 1: is ignoring it, which is so typical, isn't it, But 1514 01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:17,920 Speaker 1: will continue to stay on the story. And I hope 1515 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:21,240 Speaker 1: in fact that she does get subpoena is put under 1516 01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:25,519 Speaker 1: oath because there's very very strange happenings here and the 1517 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:29,759 Speaker 1: proclivity of the left to smash devices and hard drives 1518 01:20:29,840 --> 01:20:33,920 Speaker 1: and blackberries and iPhones and bleach bit and acid wash 1519 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:37,600 Speaker 1: Hard Drives is so out of control and if Republicans 1520 01:20:37,640 --> 01:20:40,120 Speaker 1: ever did it, God help them, they'd be handcuffed, perp walk, 1521 01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:42,200 Speaker 1: mug shotted and put in jail and the Keith thrown 1522 01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:44,720 Speaker 1: away for light anyway, thank you, Luke. When we come back, 1523 01:20:44,760 --> 01:20:47,439 Speaker 1: wide open telephones as we continue the Shawan Hannity Shop. 1524 01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:13,800 Speaker 1: Coming up next, the Anity fake News round up to 1525 01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:17,000 Speaker 1: the full scale investigation by the House, the Senate, and 1526 01:21:17,160 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: a special counsel over collusion with Russia during the election. 1527 01:21:21,320 --> 01:21:25,120 Speaker 1: President Trump has engaged in this series of Russian style purges. 1528 01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:29,400 Speaker 1: First there was Paul Manafort, the campaign manager axed. Then 1529 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:34,280 Speaker 1: came Chris Christie, the transition chief acted. Then came Sally Yates, 1530 01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,479 Speaker 1: the acting Attorney General who refused to enforce the president's 1531 01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:42,479 Speaker 1: travel band acted. Then came James Comby, the FBI Director axed. 1532 01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:46,200 Speaker 1: Then came Sean Spice, the first one out spokesman acted. 1533 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 1: Then came Ray's previous, the presidential chief of Staff, acted. 1534 01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:54,960 Speaker 1: Then came Anthony Scaramucci acted with the regularity of the 1535 01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,519 Speaker 1: nightly news. President Trump is throwing bodies out of the 1536 01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,600 Speaker 1: White House at a rate that matches the Russian evolution. 1537 01:22:01,160 --> 01:22:04,639 Speaker 1: Who he doesn't act, He threatens. He threatens Republican senators 1538 01:22:04,680 --> 01:22:07,000 Speaker 1: who voted against him, like Dean Howard of a Nevada. 1539 01:22:07,280 --> 01:22:10,439 Speaker 1: He criticized John McCann of Arizona, who he said was 1540 01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 1: not a hero despite spending seven years as a tortured 1541 01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:16,720 Speaker 1: prisoner after being shot. Then over Hannoy McCain gave him 1542 01:22:16,760 --> 01:22:19,080 Speaker 1: a screw you for that one. By building against the 1543 01:22:19,080 --> 01:22:23,160 Speaker 1: Obamacare repeal, Susan Collins made her. Of course. I wonder, 1544 01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 1: by the way, if he's ready to give Russia, or 1545 01:22:25,120 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 1: actually Alaska back to Russia because of Murkowsky. Nobody likes 1546 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,679 Speaker 1: to be scared by anybody. When you get scared from somebody, 1547 01:22:32,680 --> 01:22:34,880 Speaker 1: you turn against him because it bugs you to be scared. 1548 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,400 Speaker 1: It's true men and women as well. I think Trump 1549 01:22:37,439 --> 01:22:39,120 Speaker 1: is scared. I get with Peggy Neon this week, and 1550 01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:41,960 Speaker 1: he's weak. He's scared. I think all this going around 1551 01:22:41,960 --> 01:22:44,519 Speaker 1: and purging people, just like Kim Young Onen, what is 1552 01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:46,719 Speaker 1: he doing knocks off all his relatives when he gets scared. 1553 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 1: When you get scared of your position, you start killing 1554 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,680 Speaker 1: people around. We don't do that in this kind. We 1555 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:53,599 Speaker 1: fire them. Trump seems to know how to fire. That's 1556 01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,200 Speaker 1: my argument. It's not that he doesn't like chaos. He 1557 01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,760 Speaker 1: doesn't like being threatened existentially by by an investigation which 1558 01:22:59,800 --> 01:23:02,519 Speaker 1: he can't seem to stop, and that hasn't stopped because 1559 01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:05,599 Speaker 1: of this weekend's craziness. It goes on and on. While 1560 01:23:05,680 --> 01:23:07,720 Speaker 1: we're sitting here. Some of the best lawyers in the 1561 01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:10,719 Speaker 1: country are looking for dirt on Donald Trump in every direction. 1562 01:23:10,960 --> 01:23:13,559 Speaker 1: He knows that he is scared today. Could anyone have 1563 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,920 Speaker 1: predicted so much staff turnover from a man whose catchphrases 1564 01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:20,040 Speaker 1: You're fired? Just over an hour ago, another name added 1565 01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,040 Speaker 1: to the growing list of major exits under President Trump. 1566 01:23:23,040 --> 01:23:26,559 Speaker 1: Now it's White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, gone after 1567 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 1: just a weekend change on the job. His official start 1568 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:31,559 Speaker 1: date was supposed to be mid August, for what that's worth. 1569 01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,120 Speaker 1: In the last hour during a metal honor ceremony at 1570 01:23:34,120 --> 01:23:36,760 Speaker 1: the White House, President Trump made no mention of the 1571 01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,360 Speaker 1: Scaramucci departure. But we do expect to hear something more 1572 01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 1: in the White House Daily Briefing, which is set to 1573 01:23:41,520 --> 01:23:43,760 Speaker 1: begin any minute. Now. We'll bring that to you live. 1574 01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,760 Speaker 1: We mentioned that long list of exits in just over 1575 01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:50,599 Speaker 1: six months over Other high profile departures include Ryant's previous 1576 01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:53,479 Speaker 1: out last week as Chief of Staff, Sean Spicer out 1577 01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:56,320 Speaker 1: the week before as Press Secretary, Mike Dubcky. He was 1578 01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:59,800 Speaker 1: the previous Communications director, James Comey as FBI Director. Of course, 1579 01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:03,559 Speaker 1: my Flynn was National Security Advisor. That doesn't even include 1580 01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:06,640 Speaker 1: lower level of departures. The White House now resembling the 1581 01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:09,439 Speaker 1: red wedding from games of Game of Thrones. A real 1582 01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: sense of cultural alienation that the older, white, non college 1583 01:24:13,400 --> 01:24:17,519 Speaker 1: educated Americans have the sense of their country is changing 1584 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:21,320 Speaker 1: because of immigrants, because maybe blacks are getting rising up 1585 01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,400 Speaker 1: to a kind of central place in society because of 1586 01:24:23,960 --> 01:24:27,479 Speaker 1: you know, gays being a accorded equal rights, because of Frankly, 1587 01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 1: a lot of working women. From NBC News World Headquarters 1588 01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:36,479 Speaker 1: in New York, This is NBC Nightly News with Lester Hold. 1589 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:49,599 Speaker 1: This is the CBS Evening News with Scott Kelley. From 1590 01:24:49,600 --> 01:24:55,240 Speaker 1: ABC News World Headquarters, This is ABC World News Tonight 1591 01:24:55,680 --> 01:25:04,000 Speaker 1: with David Ure. This is all right. We get the idea, 1592 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:09,040 Speaker 1: the breath the breathlessness. It's so amazing the times we're 1593 01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:13,160 Speaker 1: living in here. Really amazing is that the media stokes 1594 01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:17,200 Speaker 1: a phony story. They ignore real stories with real truth, 1595 01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:20,800 Speaker 1: with real evidence, and you know, the double standard is 1596 01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: im play and they just don't care. And if it 1597 01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: ultimately comes out that in fact, they're wrong, they'll just 1598 01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:32,000 Speaker 1: move on to another one. It's not truth in media anymore. 1599 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:37,280 Speaker 1: It's propaganda, it's ideology, it's misinformation, and it's just outright 1600 01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,600 Speaker 1: lyne I. I can't imagine we did the Debbie wassonone 1601 01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:42,800 Speaker 1: Shultz story in the last half hour. I can't imagine 1602 01:25:42,800 --> 01:25:46,400 Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's r n C smashing up a bunch 1603 01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: of hard drives that our government owned wouldn't be a 1604 01:25:49,960 --> 01:25:53,720 Speaker 1: bigger deal in the news media than it is but 1605 01:25:53,880 --> 01:25:55,880 Speaker 1: for the few of us that are covering it. And 1606 01:25:55,920 --> 01:25:58,799 Speaker 1: that goes It's the same with every other news story. 1607 01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,040 Speaker 1: You do you not think that the media would be 1608 01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:05,799 Speaker 1: freaking out if if there were subpoened emails of Donald 1609 01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:09,240 Speaker 1: Trump and he goes ahead and Donald Trump's campaign deleted 1610 01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:12,920 Speaker 1: thirty three thousand of them. Whoops, They're about a wedding 1611 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:17,120 Speaker 1: and a funeral and yoga and conversations with my my 1612 01:26:17,240 --> 01:26:20,720 Speaker 1: wife who doesn't even email, or taking a hammer and 1613 01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:24,599 Speaker 1: breaking up blackberries into smithereens and breaking up by phones 1614 01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:29,080 Speaker 1: and the smitherens and delay delay and obfuse gate and 1615 01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:33,679 Speaker 1: then send the FBI phones and blackberries without SIM cards. 1616 01:26:33,960 --> 01:26:37,160 Speaker 1: And then, just for good measure, let's acid wash and 1617 01:26:37,360 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 1: bleach bit the the computer system where you deleted the 1618 01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,839 Speaker 1: thirty three thousand email. Let's do that too. Let's ignore 1619 01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:48,920 Speaker 1: the fact that five foreign intelligence agencies hacked into and 1620 01:26:49,000 --> 01:26:53,320 Speaker 1: got top secret classified in special Access program information. Let's 1621 01:26:53,360 --> 01:26:56,320 Speaker 1: forget all of that. Let's forget the real Russia conspiracy 1622 01:26:56,360 --> 01:26:59,479 Speaker 1: story with the Ukraine I'm sorry, with uranium one. Let's 1623 01:26:59,479 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 1: forget the the hundred and forty five plus million dollars 1624 01:27:03,320 --> 01:27:06,719 Speaker 1: kicked back to the Clinton Foundation where the money ultimately 1625 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:10,000 Speaker 1: came from. Nobody knows. She signs a waiver. It allows 1626 01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:14,599 Speaker 1: up to America's uranium, the foundational materials for nuclear weapons. 1627 01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:17,360 Speaker 1: But Vladimir is such a threat she does. It is 1628 01:27:17,360 --> 01:27:19,400 Speaker 1: a big reward on the other side from people that 1629 01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,040 Speaker 1: benefited from that deal. I don't know how else do 1630 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:25,120 Speaker 1: you explain it. Forget, you know, imagine Donald Trump had 1631 01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:28,600 Speaker 1: an RNC REP go to the Ukrainian embassy, meet the 1632 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,559 Speaker 1: Ukrainian ambassador, the Ukrainian ambassadors involved in trying to stop 1633 01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,439 Speaker 1: Hillary from winning, and then that information is is back 1634 01:27:36,520 --> 01:27:39,080 Speaker 1: channel to the to the r n C and to 1635 01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump's campaign. You don't hear about that either. It's 1636 01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:45,519 Speaker 1: you know, James Comey leaking New York Times to get 1637 01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:48,400 Speaker 1: a special counsel. No problem, you've got the General Council, 1638 01:27:48,439 --> 01:27:52,000 Speaker 1: now the FBI. He's now being investigated for deep state leaks. 1639 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:56,520 Speaker 1: Seven times the numbers of of leaks from the intelligence 1640 01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:00,719 Speaker 1: community than the previous two administrations. Three hundred and fifty 1641 01:28:01,320 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 1: increase in unmasking of people's names in the last election cycle, 1642 01:28:05,320 --> 01:28:08,240 Speaker 1: Susan Rice unmasking. By the time it's all said and done, 1643 01:28:08,280 --> 01:28:09,880 Speaker 1: I bet of a lot of other big names are 1644 01:28:09,880 --> 01:28:12,439 Speaker 1: going to be revealed as having been involved in this process. 1645 01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 1: But then media is not interested. The media is interested 1646 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:19,520 Speaker 1: in three things. Palace intrigue is certainly not interested in policy. 1647 01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 1: Palace intrigue creating an atmosphere that the presidency is being 1648 01:28:24,479 --> 01:28:26,559 Speaker 1: taken down and that the will of the people are 1649 01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: being overturned, and they're giddy about it, and they certainly 1650 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:33,439 Speaker 1: don't care about the American people being served well in 1651 01:28:33,600 --> 01:28:36,840 Speaker 1: any or in all of this sad. The whole thing 1652 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:41,000 Speaker 1: is pathetically corrupt and sad, but it is what it is. 1653 01:28:41,760 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 1: Let's go to Craig Is in California on the Sean 1654 01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:47,479 Speaker 1: Hannity Show. How are you, Craig, what's going on? Hey? Um? 1655 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,360 Speaker 1: You know, all these issues obviously are real important and 1656 01:28:50,560 --> 01:28:52,519 Speaker 1: they need to be dealt with. But I think it 1657 01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:54,679 Speaker 1: should be obvious to all of us that the most 1658 01:28:54,720 --> 01:28:58,759 Speaker 1: important item on the president's agender list is draining the swamp. 1659 01:28:59,280 --> 01:29:03,000 Speaker 1: And by want, I'm referring to the Republican establishment, because 1660 01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,720 Speaker 1: if the Trump's phenomenon did anything, along with exposing the 1661 01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:09,800 Speaker 1: leftist Democrats and leftist media for who they are, it 1662 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,920 Speaker 1: also exposed the Republican establishment for who and what they are. 1663 01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:17,320 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, it turns out there is corrupt, greedy, self serving, 1664 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 1: big government minded power brokering, palm greasing who faced elitist 1665 01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:25,760 Speaker 1: as the Democrat establishment. They hate President Trump, they hate 1666 01:29:25,760 --> 01:29:28,439 Speaker 1: Trump supporters. They don't believe what we believe, and they 1667 01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:31,679 Speaker 1: don't want we what we want, and we have to 1668 01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:34,200 Speaker 1: replace them. Son. As important as it is to repeal 1669 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:37,639 Speaker 1: and replace Obamacare, it's more important to repeal and replace 1670 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:42,080 Speaker 1: these these career politicians because if we don't, then whatever 1671 01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:46,000 Speaker 1: the president accomplishes during his presidency within a year or 1672 01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:50,240 Speaker 1: two of him leaving office, these corrupt politicians, including the Republicans, 1673 01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 1: will overturn or reverse everything that he does. You gotta 1674 01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 1: understand the simple truth here. And we were all hoodwinked 1675 01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,960 Speaker 1: in many ways. I believe them in twenty ten, the 1676 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,479 Speaker 1: House Republicans that ran on repealing replacing, I actually believe 1677 01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:07,519 Speaker 1: they wanted to do it. I actually thought they were sincere. 1678 01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 1: And then eventually, over time I began to see a 1679 01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:14,280 Speaker 1: chink in the armor, if you will, and a weakening 1680 01:30:14,280 --> 01:30:19,360 Speaker 1: of resolve, because when we saw Ted Cruz to a filibuster, 1681 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,000 Speaker 1: it became very apparent that the Republicans who were being 1682 01:30:22,000 --> 01:30:25,200 Speaker 1: denied every opportunity the right to repeal them and replaced, 1683 01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 1: they had constitutional authority and power, and that was the 1684 01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:30,880 Speaker 1: power of the purse. And Ted Cruz ended up being 1685 01:30:30,880 --> 01:30:34,160 Speaker 1: excoriated for doing what he did, saying, let's use it. 1686 01:30:34,320 --> 01:30:36,559 Speaker 1: That's all his filibuster was about, let's use the power 1687 01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,120 Speaker 1: of the person. Let's stop it. And so they've had 1688 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,240 Speaker 1: the power all along, and they've just we're afraid of 1689 01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:45,240 Speaker 1: their own shadow and afraid of political consequences, all right, 1690 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,120 Speaker 1: but the political consequences now now they've got the power, 1691 01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:50,880 Speaker 1: and now they're just afraid to lose the power. I mean, so, 1692 01:30:51,600 --> 01:30:53,679 Speaker 1: you know, one of those things that you you keep saying, 1693 01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:57,800 Speaker 1: this you're making I'm not making excuses for this. I'm 1694 01:30:57,800 --> 01:30:59,640 Speaker 1: not making out benefit of the doubt. I'm saying what 1695 01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:02,160 Speaker 1: they did and then is wrong, and what they're doing 1696 01:31:02,200 --> 01:31:04,639 Speaker 1: now is wrong. How am I making an excuse. There's 1697 01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:07,920 Speaker 1: no excuse for this. It's time we accept the fact 1698 01:31:07,920 --> 01:31:10,920 Speaker 1: that we've lost the party. These guys are all crooked, 1699 01:31:10,960 --> 01:31:13,439 Speaker 1: they're all corrupt. You may find one or two that 1700 01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:17,000 Speaker 1: you'd say actually believe in America. Hey, Craig, without due respect, 1701 01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,040 Speaker 1: do you listen to my show, Because I've been saying 1702 01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:21,519 Speaker 1: now for weeks, this is a party without principles and 1703 01:31:21,560 --> 01:31:24,360 Speaker 1: without identity. What do you think I mean when I 1704 01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:27,720 Speaker 1: say that they have an identity. They're all socialists, They're 1705 01:31:27,720 --> 01:31:31,760 Speaker 1: in the same Listen to me. The Republican Party was 1706 01:31:31,800 --> 01:31:34,439 Speaker 1: supposed to be and I'm not a Republican, I'm a 1707 01:31:34,439 --> 01:31:37,240 Speaker 1: registered Conservative. They were supposed to be the Party of 1708 01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:42,320 Speaker 1: limited government, less bureaucratic regulation, the Party of free markets, 1709 01:31:42,320 --> 01:31:45,559 Speaker 1: the Party of competition, the Party of capitalism, the Party 1710 01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:48,000 Speaker 1: of repeal replaced the Party to Build the Wall, to 1711 01:31:48,040 --> 01:31:51,400 Speaker 1: protect our borders, the Party of energy independence, the Party 1712 01:31:51,400 --> 01:31:54,320 Speaker 1: of strong national security, identifying evil in our time, the 1713 01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:58,960 Speaker 1: Party of tax cuts to stimulate the economy and economic growth. Well, 1714 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,519 Speaker 1: I don't see any of these things being accomplished by 1715 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:05,120 Speaker 1: any of them. So I've been saying they have no identity. 1716 01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:07,320 Speaker 1: What they were supposed to be, what they sold us 1717 01:32:07,360 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 1: that they were. They're not, because if they were, they 1718 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:13,200 Speaker 1: would have done it. But they've all sold out to 1719 01:32:13,240 --> 01:32:17,040 Speaker 1: a system that's corrupt, that puts career before country and 1720 01:32:17,120 --> 01:32:19,800 Speaker 1: money before. Okay, there's nothing you're saying that I'm not saying. 1721 01:32:19,840 --> 01:32:22,519 Speaker 1: So how am I giggingving them any I'm giving them 1722 01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:25,639 Speaker 1: no leeway here, none, and I am calling them out 1723 01:32:25,680 --> 01:32:28,800 Speaker 1: on a daily and nightly basis they really are. Can 1724 01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:31,600 Speaker 1: I give you a simple step plan here, because I 1725 01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:33,639 Speaker 1: gotta take other calls to be fair or other calls. 1726 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 1: I get your point, I'm not. There's nothing you're saying 1727 01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:37,840 Speaker 1: that I agree. I don't agree with. The plan is 1728 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:41,200 Speaker 1: get rid of them. There's no other plan. Let's go 1729 01:32:41,280 --> 01:32:44,760 Speaker 1: to Susannah Is in Pittsburgh. Hello, Sean, we love you 1730 01:32:44,800 --> 01:32:49,240 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. How are you? I'm fine, frustrated, like you, 1731 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:52,679 Speaker 1: this is funny. I feel lied to by the Democrat, 1732 01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:57,360 Speaker 1: maipulated by the Republicans, and frustrated inside with all the 1733 01:32:57,400 --> 01:32:59,400 Speaker 1: rest of americ character. I read an article the other 1734 01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,639 Speaker 1: day that says, the people want everyone to the Congress 1735 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:05,720 Speaker 1: to move on from health care. That's a lie. We 1736 01:33:05,760 --> 01:33:07,559 Speaker 1: want them to stay on it and fix it. That's 1737 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:10,400 Speaker 1: why we're paying them. And so here's what here's what 1738 01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:12,760 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. Why won't they Why won't they fix it? 1739 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,200 Speaker 1: And I really do believe Number one, they don't have 1740 01:33:15,240 --> 01:33:17,680 Speaker 1: to live under it. Number two, they do want to 1741 01:33:17,760 --> 01:33:19,760 Speaker 1: not want Trump to win. They don't want to give 1742 01:33:19,840 --> 01:33:23,960 Speaker 1: him any victories so that he is flatlined by And 1743 01:33:24,000 --> 01:33:26,160 Speaker 1: I hate to tell them that what they have done 1744 01:33:26,240 --> 01:33:32,320 Speaker 1: was their uh manipulation is to totally strengthen our perseverance 1745 01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:34,080 Speaker 1: to make sure he gets back in again and if 1746 01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:36,200 Speaker 1: they get out, and I hope they hear this message. 1747 01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:38,559 Speaker 1: And I want to tell you that Rich McConnell sticking 1748 01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:42,879 Speaker 1: me after the vote when he made this pathetic windy, 1749 01:33:43,479 --> 01:33:47,040 Speaker 1: I want to say, um, staying hearted, are n't disappointed? 1750 01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:48,880 Speaker 1: So we're going to give this to the Democrats and 1751 01:33:48,960 --> 01:33:51,960 Speaker 1: see what they can do. Is he sleeping is he 1752 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:53,760 Speaker 1: in a comment. We know what they want to do. 1753 01:33:54,320 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 1: They have given us what they want to do, and 1754 01:33:56,080 --> 01:34:00,679 Speaker 1: that's single payer, socialized healthcare. We voted for, we voted 1755 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:04,439 Speaker 1: for his policies. We told them to work on his policies, 1756 01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:07,720 Speaker 1: not mccains because he failed as a presidential candidate. So 1757 01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying to the boys NDC, you start being like 1758 01:34:11,080 --> 01:34:14,120 Speaker 1: men otherwise. List there's no there's no other way to 1759 01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,160 Speaker 1: interpret John McCain's actions here. Let's be blunt and let's 1760 01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:20,080 Speaker 1: be honest. And it is it is what it is. 1761 01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:24,160 Speaker 1: He had made the promise repeatedly to repeal and replace, 1762 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:30,320 Speaker 1: and John McCain enjoyed sticking into the president. That's just that, Listen. 1763 01:34:30,360 --> 01:34:34,320 Speaker 1: I've known John McCain for years. I admire his service. 1764 01:34:34,520 --> 01:34:37,559 Speaker 1: I pray for his health. But I'll be honest, he's 1765 01:34:37,760 --> 01:34:41,479 Speaker 1: one at times, very bitter, angry man. And I've seen 1766 01:34:41,479 --> 01:34:44,200 Speaker 1: it myself. I've you know, we we've not gotten along 1767 01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,559 Speaker 1: a lot in recent years, trust me. Chris Matthew said 1768 01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,679 Speaker 1: that that's why John McCain did. He said he sucking 1769 01:34:49,800 --> 01:34:53,479 Speaker 1: to the president, absolutely stuck in to the president. Is 1770 01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:55,679 Speaker 1: at the reports that he's gloating over and I haven't 1771 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,479 Speaker 1: been able to confirm them, but I've read them. Anyway, 1772 01:34:58,560 --> 01:35:01,000 Speaker 1: Thank you, will it not your heart troubled, Susanna. We're 1773 01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:05,240 Speaker 1: gonna do our best here, because look, if it's I 1774 01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:08,640 Speaker 1: don't particularly love Lindsey Graham either, to be honest, and 1775 01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:11,680 Speaker 1: the Lindsey Graham has his proposal, let the states decide. Look, 1776 01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,760 Speaker 1: if you're in California and you want a single payer 1777 01:35:13,800 --> 01:35:16,280 Speaker 1: in California, is gonna pay the freight and you want 1778 01:35:16,280 --> 01:35:19,200 Speaker 1: to pay the taxes? I guess that's okay. What worries 1779 01:35:19,240 --> 01:35:21,519 Speaker 1: me about Lindsay Graham's plan is it's gonna be are 1780 01:35:21,520 --> 01:35:23,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna get rid of all the Obamacare taxes, all 1781 01:35:23,760 --> 01:35:26,000 Speaker 1: the bad stuff with Obamacare, and then we're gonna send 1782 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,599 Speaker 1: it back to the states, because I think Southern states 1783 01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:30,920 Speaker 1: would probably do a great job with it. I think 1784 01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:33,519 Speaker 1: there are some Republican governors that could do a great job, 1785 01:35:33,600 --> 01:35:36,519 Speaker 1: and and they put together the cooperatives and health savings 1786 01:35:36,560 --> 01:35:39,479 Speaker 1: accounts that I've been talking about for years.
