WEBVTT - Turning Point on Russian Probe Saga 0:00:00.360 --> 0:00:01.440 All right, showing us. 0:00:01.520 --> 0:00:05.040 Now, we have a lot of important issues in terms 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.399 of the legalization weaponization issue that are in the news today, 0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:10.879 but I got to get reaction. David shown is with 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:15.560 US former counselor to President Trump's civil liberties attorney, Greg Jarrett, 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:19.840 Fox News legal analyst New York Times bestselling author, Greg, 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:22.160 when I did live in New York had an office 0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:26.520 right next to mine, like me, he left to an 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:31.240 undisclosed location. Reaction, Greg Jarrett, I mean, I think you 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.240 lived in New York City for how long? 0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:37.640 Oh goodness, I both lived and worked in New York 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:41.640 for thirty years, and you know, fight, I could see 0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:46.800 what was happening, and you know, like you, I left without. 0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.080 Looking back, without looking back. 0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:51.120 But people ask me all the time, well don't you 0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.480 miss I might know I miss some of my friends, 0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:55.840 but they all want to come down and see me 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.040 in the Free State of Florida. 0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:02.360 David, your reaction, it's it's finished. I mean, in my view, 0:01:02.640 --> 0:01:05.480 the history that we've known of the city has finished. 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.759 The fact that this guy was even in the running 0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.480 indicated that I think used to be a landlord in 0:01:10.480 --> 0:01:12.840 New York very glad not to be and as you know, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.680 I'm sure there are signs already up in Florida. Uh 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.360 pre and post mandami prices on rough dates. 0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:22.640 Oh no, it's it's absolutely hilarious. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:25.200 And now, with all that said, I want to be 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.000 very clear, as I said in the last hour, I 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.720 feel sorry for my friends that are there, their heartbroken, 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.160 and I don't want to I don't want to rub 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:36.520 it in, but it's something that they have to face 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:39.440 as a reality. This this is who they're living next to, 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.560 people that have bought into all of this. 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:44.680 Let me let me move on a little bit. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.720 The FBI launched the preliminary investigation into the burn Bag 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.400 saga in July. If we go back there. According to 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:56.000 an open electronic communication made public by the DJ and 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.880 their filings in Federal court, uh this this filing began 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.680 on Monday. We're getting new information every day as part 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.360 of the Komi prosecution. Now, the Bureau said. The classified 0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.440 information stashed away in a room at the FBI headquarters 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:13.720 related to Operation Crossfire Hurricane, launched three days after Donald 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.720 Trump announced he was running for twenty twenty four, made 0:02:16.720 --> 0:02:21.240 public and DOJ filings in federal Court and the Bureau 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.639 saying that the classified information stashed away. I think they 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:28.280 thought they got rid of it all. And with this 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:32.120 new avalanche of evidence, Greg Jarrett, let me start with 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:36.960 you and this court filing by Lindsay Halligan in Virginia, 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.000 it seems extraordinarily damning to me. 0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:44.440 Oh it is. I mean, it is a tsunami of 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:49.560 new and incriminating evidence against Kmie that couldn't should lead 0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:53.720 to I think additional criminal charges against him of lyne 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:58.560 and obstruction, that is, the destruction of evidence, concealing evidence 0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:04.120 from Congress, damning evidence against him. Notes that show Komy 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:11.240 did indeed authorize and direct his friend and FBI special 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.800 government employee Daniel Richmond to leak to the media, which Comey, 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:20.400 of course later denied in testimony before Congress. That's the 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.800 heart of the indictment against him. So this is highly 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:28.200 corroborating evidence of Commy's fault statements. It's in the hands 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:32.639 of the prosecutors. After one particular leak, Comy wrote, well done, 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:38.080 my friend, who knew this would be so fun? And 0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:43.160 the other evidence is also equally damning. You know, while 0:03:43.240 --> 0:03:46.760 he was criticizing Hillary Clinton for breaking the law jeopardizing 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:51.640 national security using her private email as Secretary of State 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.280 against what Komy himself was using a private email account 0:03:56.280 --> 0:04:02.080 to conduct official FBI matters. So brazen and so stupid 0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:07.040 by comy, but classic comy. You know the message. You know, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:10.200 he bragged he'd soon be working for President elect Clunton 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:13.360 and she'd be grateful that he helped her. I mean 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.760 that really tells the whole story, doesn't it. 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:16.560 It really does. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.839 David Sholon, let's get your take on this, because I 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.400 think this is pretty damning, and in the beginning I 0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:23.839 thought this may be a very difficult case to prove. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.960 I don't particularly love the jurisdiction in Virginia where it's 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:33.520 taken place, and that somewhat frustrated me. And I think 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:37.400 this is rather the low hanging fruit for Komi in 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.559 terms of what the criticisms I have against him. Using 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:45.240 the dirty Russian disinformation dossier is the basis of four 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.279 PAISA warrance three of which he personally signed even after 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:52.240 it was debunked, and he had a legal obligation to 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:54.400 go back to the PISA Court and say the information 0:04:54.520 --> 0:04:58.240 presented to that court was false, not accurate, and give 0:04:58.279 --> 0:05:01.039 the judge in that case an opportunity to lift that warrant. 0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.039 Yeah, there's no question about that that there's no question 0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.480 the court's rules required him to go back and make 0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:08.720 the corrections. They never did. But I'll tell you this 0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:12.120 about the recent filing. To me, you know all of 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:14.640 this abuse that Lindsay Halligan got about, She's not an 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:18.279 experienced prosecutor, insurance defense lawyer. I think she's shown brilliant 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:23.240 here and great public responsibility by this filing. Listen, all 0:05:23.279 --> 0:05:27.200 we saw was former Justice Department officials, former big shots, 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.520 filing briefs and support of Coma and vindictive prosecution. Selective prosecution. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.840 Didn't do anything wrong. It was brilliant to expose exactly 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.560 what it is that she must have seen in this 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.600 case and in deciding to bring the indictment. I think 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.480 she's talented, hardworking, never had the meeting her, but I 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:47.320 think this was the right move. And I think this 0:05:47.400 --> 0:05:49.839 is the reason I say it's responsible, is let the 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:53.039 public know exactly what she was looking at. When you 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:56.200 see all of these people using their former offices for 0:05:56.240 --> 0:05:59.360 credibility to say there's nothing against Combie, he did nothing wrong. 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:03.240 These these emails and texts and other communications Daniel Richmond 0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:04.920 are very damning and I'll tell you this. I think 0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.760 there's a real issue about a conflict for his lawyers, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.960 Patrick Fitzgerald. According to the filing here, memorandum between meetings 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:15.720 between Kobe and President Trump were leaped specifically to Patrick 0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:17.880 Fitzgerald at the time. He's a part of this. He 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:19.200 may well be a witness in the case. 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:23.000 Oh you think Patrick Fitzgerald might tell me more about that? 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:23.720 Could be well. 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.320 Patrick Fitzgerald, by the way, if you don't remember, he 0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.119 was the special prosecutor, counsel whatever he was at the time, 0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:33.640 and he's the one that went after Scooter Libby was 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.320 going after Carl Rover at the time. Scooter Libby was 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:40.400 the chief of staff for then Vice President Dick Cheney 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:42.279 who just passed away, and. 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.080 They went after him hard. But George W. 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.599 Bush, he may I believe he commuted the sentence, but 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.920 I got the pardon came from Donald J. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:52.599 Trump. Interestingly enough. 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.200 Yeah, So what the papers that were filed provide on 0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.680 page nine is that on May ninth of that year, 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.560 after he was fired, Comy sent copies of four to 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:06.440 seven memorandum he had drafted, purportedly summarizing one on ones 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:09.400 with the President elect and the President to one of 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.560 his attorneys, Patrick Fitzgerald, and so these memos are at 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.040 the heart of the case, among other things so on. 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.880 But again, you know, now we're getting a full picture 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.280 of this. So all we on the instream media was, Oh, 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.240 it's only because Trump is angry at him and so on. 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.880 There's real substance here, and it was appropriate for Lindsay 0:07:28.880 --> 0:07:32.440 Halligan to expose this stuff now for the public consumption 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.520 because it's a matter of great public interest. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.440 Yeah, Greg, what do you think? 0:07:36.920 --> 0:07:42.200 Yeah? I agree. And there's another aspect to this. In 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:50.240 Comy's handwritten notes dated September twenty sixth, twenty sixteen, Comy 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:56.120 confirms that he learned that Hillary Clinton invented this phony 0:07:56.600 --> 0:08:01.480 Russian narrative to Smeir Trump and Comey's notes. 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.640 Actually, and by the way, that datea is important, Greg, 0:08:05.400 --> 0:08:07.920 forgive me for interrupting. That date is important because that's 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:12.480 long before the first FUZA warrant was filed, and the 0:08:12.480 --> 0:08:16.320 bulk of the information was the dirty Russian disinformation dossier. 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.280 That's right. There were meetings at the White House with 0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:24.160 Comey and Brennan and Obama and Biden in which Brennan 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:29.240 alerted that, you know, we have evidence that Hillary Clinton 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:34.360 invented this phony scandal to help herself get elected to 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.920 smear Trump. And Comey's note state and I'm quoting here 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:43.040 HRC plan to tie Trump to Russia. That speaks for herself. 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:48.640 And of course, when Comey testified before Congress, he feigned 0:08:48.840 --> 0:08:53.800 acute amnesia and said, she wiz, that doesn't ring any bells. 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.720 I have no recollection of any of that. Well, that's 0:08:56.760 --> 0:09:01.440 something that you would never forget. So Commy was lying, 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:06.760 and his own notes put a lie to his congressional testimony, 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:13.559 which constitutes yet another crime. And you know, Comy's incriminating notes, 0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.400 other important documents were stuffed in burnbags in a secret 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.760 room in the FBI to be destroyed. What is that 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:25.400 Under the law, It's called obstruction of justice and obstruction 0:09:25.920 --> 0:09:26.840 of Congress. 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.959 Yeah, very much. So, you know a lot of people 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.400 ask me all the time. You know, Hannity, you've spent 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:36.760 all these years, You've you've you've you've you've shown us 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.079 the truth. We've learned about the dossier, We've learned about 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:43.719 buis abuse, we've learned about the dual justice system, we've 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:48.400 learned about weaponization we have the declassification from Tulsa Gabbard, 0:09:48.840 --> 0:09:53.120 you know, And when do people become you know, get 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.679 held accountable. And that's a hard question to answer. Good 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.199 and I understand people's frustration. What did you all think 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:02.680 of John Brennan when he was confronted. I can play 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:10.280 it for you. Uh, let's play the tape. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:11.720 And you misrepresented that. 0:10:11.760 --> 0:10:14.760 We never say it was the subsupation. It was influence operations, 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:15.679 which is what they do. 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.319 The difference between influences. No, you don't know that, you don't. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:30.200 I mean, he's cursing, he's screaming, confronted really for the 0:10:30.240 --> 0:10:33.240 first time over the Hunter Biden laptop and signing on 0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:37.000 to this you know document, you know, apparently circulated by 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:42.000 winking Tony blinking David shown. Uh wow, if somebody starts 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.000 poking me in the chest with their finger, they got 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.040 a problem, especially. 0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:49.559 You given your background and training. But anyway, No, it's 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.360 inconceivable this guy ever held the position that he did. 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.920 And Gregg's point cannot be underestimated. The fact that people 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.040 at this level knew that Hillary Clinton had a scheme, 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.480 a false s team clearly to affect the election is 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:06.760 absolutely astonishing. You know, Sean, I've said this many times before. 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.000 If it were not for you and your show, I 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.559 don't believe much of this stuff ever would have been exposed. 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.400 But you state on it. You ask the question about accountability. 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.000 Some people might say to some degree, the last election 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.120 was some accountability, but I think now you're starting to 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:23.160 see real accountability. And you know, when President Trump speaks 0:11:23.160 --> 0:11:26.600 about these people being criminals and so on, they say, oh, gee, 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:30.280 this is vindictive prosecution. It can be that he's angry 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:33.640 about crimes that were committed against the country and that 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.280 they ought to be prosecuted. That doesn't make it an 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:42.160 illegal vindictive prosecution. So look, this stuff is huge now, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:45.199 and I think we've only scratched the surface on accountability 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:46.280 last forward. 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:50.640 Greg Jarrett, Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. And you know, as 0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.640 to John Brennan, you know, I mean, he's always had 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:56.480 the reputation of a bad temper and meaner and a 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.800 junkyard dog. And we know what the fifty one former 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:05.360 tell people did. They crafted a phony letter to protect Hunter. 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.880 Biden in turn allowed Joe Biden, in a debate with 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:14.280 President Trump in twenty twenty, to cite them and their 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:19.439 lives that the laptop was rushing disinformation. The FBI had 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:23.280 already confirmed its authenticity. It has since been verified by 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:28.080 anybody and everybody in the mainstream media and elsewhere. So 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.920 you know, Brennan was part of the big lie, and 0:12:31.040 --> 0:12:34.600 that big lie succeeded because I think it was pivotal 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.000 in helping, you know, Joe Biden win the twenty twenty election. 0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:41.400 Yeah, I think so too. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:43.920 Let me ask you from a legal standpoint, both of you, 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:46.640 real quick, I have about fifteen seconds for each of you. 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.080 If somebody starts poking you in your chest like that, 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.120 do you have a right to stop them and defend yourself? 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:58.960 Yes, yeah, you know if you're if you feel a 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:03.000 threatened imminently with serious bodily harm or any kind of harm, 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:07.000 you have the law n tells you to defend yourself. Now, 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.920 I think your instincts are correct. Step back first, that's 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:14.680 always the smart move. But if it persists, yeah, you 0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.880 would have every right to punch the guy in the nose, 0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:18.040 and he deserves. 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:18.440 It, all right. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:22.120 I appreciate both of you. Amazing times. We're living in 0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.400 eight hundred and nine point one. 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:23.680 Sean. 0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:36.360 If you want to be a part of the program. 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.320 Alerting you to all the ways the government wants to 0:13:34.480 --> 0:13:36.199 put into your life. 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:48.400 This is a Sean Hannity show. You know, we have 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.800 a national anthem. I think some states does. Some states 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.040 have their own state anthems. I guess they probably do, right, 0:13:55.080 --> 0:13:57.480 but we just don't really pay that much attention to them. 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.640 I'm assuming they do, Linda, Do they? 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:01.760 I don't know. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:03.439 I know there's college anthems. 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:05.640 By the way, how did your prediction work out that 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:07.480 I told you was never going to come true yesterday? 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:12.480 I'm just asking, considering the amount of how did your 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:13.839 prediction come out? 0:14:13.960 --> 0:14:16.920 It's terrible. I'm crying non stop. It's heartbreaking. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.080 You've got a radical Islamic mayor in New York City 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.560 twenty years after the Twin Tower attacks. I'm like, great, 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.600 it's going great, Yeah, good day, Okay. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:28.000 But you were saying there's no way he's going to win. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:29.240 That's the problem. 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:31.600 I was from the bottom of my heart, from the 0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.400 bottom of my heart. 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:33.520 You didn't want to believe it. 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.960 You were in no no, no, no, no no no no. 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.400 No no, yes yes yes, because you were on this program 0:14:38.440 --> 0:14:39.800 telling me Curtis was going to win. 0:14:39.840 --> 0:14:42.080 And I'm like, no, I was not in denial. All 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:46.040 I was. I would like a lot of odd people. 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:50.320 I was in full faith. I believed he would win. 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:52.880 I didn't see the Look, the bottom line is the 0:14:52.920 --> 0:14:57.920 total between Cuomo and and and Curtis. Mam Donnie still won. 0:14:58.800 --> 0:15:02.120 So you know this, this last minute panic push to 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:05.160 get Curtis out and people wanting to blame Curtis. No, 0:15:05.600 --> 0:15:09.280 I blame Cuomo. Cuomo should have taken the initiative. You 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.120 had the best idea, to your credit, and he didn't 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.520 do it. But maybe they needed Well, I got. 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:17.560 To be honest with you. It wasn't Cuomo. It wasn't 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.960 Cuomo that should have done it, because Cuomo should have 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:21.520 never ran. He didn't win. 0:15:21.840 --> 0:15:23.840 He ran as an independent because he could have believed 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.640 he didn't win. And you know, Charlie Hurt made a 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.800 really good point. Ethan and I were talking about this earlier. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.440 Everybody's like freaking out, like, oh my god, he won, 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.360 he won. He actually didn't do that great. You know, 0:15:33.720 --> 0:15:36.080 if you look at the Blasio and you look at Adams, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:39.200 they won by sixty and sixty five percent. This guy 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.760 only won by the bear margin of fifty percent. Like 0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:43.560 it's not as bad as everything. 0:15:43.560 --> 0:15:45.760 That analysis, I'm sorry, I agree. 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:49.760 Why is that analysis because none of them had a 0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:55.440 a well, a high profile name like Cuomo against them, 0:15:55.520 --> 0:16:00.120 which is a prominent political name in New York. And 0:16:00.640 --> 0:16:03.960 you cannot deny that that is a massive difference in 0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:08.320 terms of the voting texture and scenario under which Mamdani 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:08.760 was running. 0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:09.720 I disagree with you. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:12.840 When you got people coming in, you disagreed with me 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.040 that you thought Curtis was going to win, and you were. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.440 I did, and I have my own beliefs as to 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:19.000 why he did it. We won't go there right now. 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:20.800 I don't want to hear it because you aren't real 0:16:21.320 --> 0:16:23.600 It's no point in hearing your analysis of this. But 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:27.120 I do have an idea for New York. They need 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:48.400 a state anthem. What do you think of this one? 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:51.240 All right? 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.320 That's the national anthem of the former Soviet in Russia. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.440 That is a Rocky four song. All right, let's not 0:16:58.440 --> 0:16:59.960 get exsted, come on. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.400 All right, Or we can go to the national anthem 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:16.400 of Cuba. Maybe New York City can adopt this one. 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:23.000 And they've even got a third option, and that is 0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:24.440 the national cartoon. 0:17:24.680 --> 0:17:26.879 I don't know, Oh that was. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:45.359 We should have people vote on what the what the 0:17:45.520 --> 0:17:49.000 state anthem of New York City should be. Let's see 0:17:49.320 --> 0:17:52.479 Etha Washington State Shawn Hannedy show Etha, how are you 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:53.520 glad you called? 0:17:54.720 --> 0:17:58.560 Hi? Sean? Hey listen, Uh my my my all my 0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:01.400 can are from and my dad was born in bay Ridge, Brooklyn. 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:07.600 Bottom line is that mom, Donnie, your new communist who's. 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:10.159 In wealth is not my new communist. 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.560 I know, Thank god you move at any rate. Bottom 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:17.400 line is this is that he wants to raise wages 0:18:17.800 --> 0:18:20.560 to like thirty dollars per hour. 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:22.600 Okay, bottom line a thirty dollars. 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.560 He wants a thirty dollars minimum wage twice what it. 0:18:25.520 --> 0:18:28.840 Is now, yes, exactly, okay. So the thing is that 0:18:29.000 --> 0:18:34.600 Trump can only do so much in regards to fixing 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:39.840 the economy because when base wages all around the country, 0:18:39.880 --> 0:18:44.120 including the state of Washington and now New York, when 0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:48.080 they're higher, that means that prices are higher. When you 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:53.520 go to a taco bell that the minimum wage is 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.920 seventeen dollars per hour, that's going to raise the inflation. 0:18:58.359 --> 0:19:01.000 So Trump can only do so much much to fix 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:08.199 the wages. Increase of wages increases product prices and I 0:19:08.240 --> 0:19:11.040 don't know how. I don't know how President Trump will 0:19:11.080 --> 0:19:13.880 I love an a door. I don't know how he's 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:19.440 going to fix that. And not to disparage people, Okay, yeah, great, 0:19:20.080 --> 0:19:25.680 higher wages terrific, But then the products that they're making 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:27.480 are going to be higher. 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.159 Uh, Listen, there's only so much people are going to 0:19:31.200 --> 0:19:34.760 be willing to pay for a cheeseburger. I like cheeseburgers, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:37.360 but I can't eat them very often. Occasionally I have one, 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:41.679 you know, in a lettuce wrap with onions and you know, 0:19:41.760 --> 0:19:44.240 a little bit of ketchup, and I'm happy, you know, 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:46.879 especially if it's an In and Out Burger or a 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:47.720 Crown Burger. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:48.359 You know. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.280 Oh, I like a lot of burgers, but I just 0:19:51.320 --> 0:19:53.040 don't eat them very much because I like to make 0:19:53.080 --> 0:19:56.439 my own healthy food. Of just I'm crazy about it. 0:19:56.520 --> 0:19:59.680 But you know, it's at some point you're going to 0:19:59.720 --> 0:20:02.080 see a loss of jobs. You're going to see a 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.800 loss of business, and you're going to see businesses shut 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:09.880 down because the margins in the food industry are so minuscule. 0:20:10.440 --> 0:20:13.280 You know, most restaurants don't make their money on the 0:20:13.280 --> 0:20:15.680 food that you're buying. They make it on the booze 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.359 that you're drinking or the wine that you're drinking, just 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:21.240 in case you didn't know. And I know for my 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.359 many years working in the restaurant business. I mean, you 0:20:24.400 --> 0:20:27.320 can make some money, but there's a lot of waste involved. 0:20:27.359 --> 0:20:30.040 You buy fish, okay, you only had you know, two 0:20:30.240 --> 0:20:32.639 maybe three days you can use that fish, then boom, 0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:34.760 it's going out the window. It's going to be a 0:20:34.800 --> 0:20:37.520 special on Tuesday night, thrown out on Wednesday morning. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.119 So it's very very hard. Just you know, it's so sad. 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:45.159 And the people that will be impacted by that are 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.520 going to be young people that take those jobs and 0:20:47.600 --> 0:20:50.400 older people that are retired but like to work. You're 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.479 going to lose those jobs and they probably can use 0:20:52.480 --> 0:20:56.840 the money in many cases. Anyway, ETHA, thank you appreciate it. Beth, 0:20:57.520 --> 0:21:00.920 God bless Texas. Glad you called. How are you hi? 0:21:00.920 --> 0:21:02.280 Thank you for taking my call. 0:21:02.440 --> 0:21:05.119 It's in order to talk to you. My question is 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:08.600 how is Mendanni even allowed to run? And if you're 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.760 in Congress and you're saying that you're a socialist, how 0:21:11.800 --> 0:21:15.000 in this country, with our constitution are you allowed to 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:18.720 stay in office? I don't understand, Well. 0:21:18.560 --> 0:21:20.280 You can have any views you want, and if the 0:21:20.280 --> 0:21:24.120 people decide to elect you, I mean, then that's that's 0:21:24.160 --> 0:21:27.439 the way the system works. I mean, we do believe 0:21:27.440 --> 0:21:29.320 in freedom, and you have the freedom to be dumb, 0:21:29.400 --> 0:21:33.080 ignorant and stupid and New York, New York is gonna 0:21:33.040 --> 0:21:35.320 be dumb, ignorant and stupid and vote for this guy, 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:41.480 and it will end in the predictable way that socialism, Marxism, statism, 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:46.919 you know, always ends unfulfilled promises and more poverty in 0:21:46.960 --> 0:21:50.400 the end than less, and a loss of freedoms as 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.359 the government takes over every aspect of your life in 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:54.720 the name of false security. 0:21:54.760 --> 0:21:55.800 That's how it's going to end. 0:21:56.320 --> 0:21:58.800 And whether or not a state like New York wakes up, 0:21:58.840 --> 0:22:01.880 I don't know, you know, I do feel badly. I mean, 0:22:02.200 --> 0:22:03.959 I'm kind of joking around a little bit. I mean, 0:22:04.000 --> 0:22:04.920 what do you want me to do? You want me 0:22:04.960 --> 0:22:08.280 to come on the air like liberal Democrats and Rosie 0:22:08.600 --> 0:22:08.879 Oh you. 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:10.920 Moving to Ireland again? 0:22:11.080 --> 0:22:14.200 They got any more? I'm not doing that. I've there's 0:22:14.240 --> 0:22:16.400 been plenty of times in the course of my life 0:22:16.480 --> 0:22:21.240 and career when elections don't go my way and you 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:24.320 just stay in the fight and and you try to, 0:22:25.080 --> 0:22:29.040 you know, stop mitigate the damage that bad politicians with 0:22:29.200 --> 0:22:32.360 bad ideas and bad values are going to instill on you. 0:22:32.400 --> 0:22:34.440 That's my advice to the people that have to stay 0:22:34.440 --> 0:22:37.200 in New York. Now, I can tell you that there 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:40.199 is going to be a massive exit plan out of 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:40.720 New York. 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:44.119 You know, I mentioned an article earlier. 0:22:43.760 --> 0:22:47.760 Today, I mean a whole big article today about you know, 0:22:47.800 --> 0:22:49.760 how real estate and Florida is going to go through 0:22:49.760 --> 0:22:52.520 the roof. I would have preferred, even though it's my 0:22:52.680 --> 0:22:56.920 free state of Florida. Here's the headline, New York City 0:22:56.960 --> 0:23:00.560
