1 00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,120 Speaker 1: All right, our two Sean Hannity's show Gladual with us 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: toll free. It's eight hundred nine one, Sean, you want 3 00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: to be a part of the program. So Joe Biden's 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: show at the Border this weekend. When you think of 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: all the crime, all the aiding and abetting of crime, 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: all of the human trafficking, all of the drug trafficking, 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: and Biden shows up, he didn't actually really visit the border, 8 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: and all the photo ops because they cleaned the place 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,639 Speaker 1: up before Biden even got there. It was just it 10 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: was such a phony stage moment, Biden comparing asylum seeking 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: illegal immigrants to Jewish people fleeing Nazi Germany in this 12 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 1: particular case. But the issue of crime, a lot of 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: it starts at the border. You know how many more 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: kids are we going to lose to fentnall or heroin 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: or math or drug addiction, most of which these these 16 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: drugs are coming across that southern border. For example, over 17 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: the weekend, Tony Gonzalez, Congressman Great State of Texas, said 18 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: he was told that he was not allowed to accompany 19 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: Biden on the border or visit Why not, why not 20 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: make this bipartisan? Of course, you know this is Joe Biden. Anyway, Listen, 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: last time you were here, you said you want to 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: go with President Biden to the border. He's going there today. 23 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: Are you participating at all? Have you had any contact 24 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: with the White House about migration. I'm very disappointed in 25 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: the administration. You know, seven months ago I hosted the 26 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: President in Uvaldi and I asked him to visit on 27 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 1: the border. He looked me in the eye and he said, Tony, Yes. 28 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: Seven months later, when I try to be part of 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: this El Paso visit, which I represent El Paso, I 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: represent nearly fifty percent of the southern border, the White 31 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: House told me I wasn't. I wasn't able to be 32 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,320 Speaker 1: part of it. What does that mean? That means that 33 00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: means that Democrats are using this as a polite They 34 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: think this is a political challenge, not a policy challenge. 35 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: Clearly that you know, you see these images a couple 36 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: of weeks ago of hundreds of people to sell. That's 37 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 1: not a political challenge. That is a policy challenge. All right. 38 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: So then, of course we have the moment I thought 39 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: the greatest moment of the weekend because this was remember, 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: hundreds of El Paso illegal immigrants who are deported. Because 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 1: Biden was coming down for his photowop, the best moment 42 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: came from Governor Abbot of the Great State of Texas, 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: and he sent in hand delivered this letter to Joe Biden, 44 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: you visit. Your visit to our southern border with Mexico 45 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: today is twenty billion dollars too little, two years too late. 46 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 1: And then it brings up the other issue about the 47 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: Left in America and law in order, and how they 48 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 1: have sacrificed law and order at the altar of no bail, dismantled, 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: defund the police efforts and have been fully supportive of it, 50 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: which makes every American less safe, less secure. If you're 51 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: not safe, if you're not secure, if you don't have law, 52 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,519 Speaker 1: if you don't have order, you don't have an ability 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 1: at all in any way to pursue happiness. Is really 54 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: that simple. A friend of the program, Greg Kelly is 55 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 1: with us. He has a brand new book out. It's 56 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: called Justice for All How the Left is wrong about 57 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,239 Speaker 1: law enforcement. I've known his dad for a long time. 58 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: He is a former NYPD commissioner, Ray Kelly. Greg, great 59 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,519 Speaker 1: to talk to you again. How are you my friend? Hey? 60 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: Sean great to talk to you and thank you very much. 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: And my goodness, the border. It reminded me something out 62 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: of the Soviet Union, Joe Biden. He almost looks like 63 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 1: Leonoid Bregnev, if you remember that guy. The stagecraft of 64 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 1: it all. Thank god, you know, Governor Abbott, and there 65 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,119 Speaker 1: was some reality, a dose of reality for the president. 66 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: But it really does look like something from a totalitarian 67 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: regime the way they're escorting him around. You know, I've 68 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 1: known your dad all these years. He was one of 69 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: New York's best police commissioners of all time. He Rudy Giuliani, 70 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: Bernie Carrick. I mean, what they did to really transform 71 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: New York City is remarkable. You would think that we 72 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: would learn from the success that they had, but we're not. 73 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 1: We're going in the opposite direction. But now it's impacting 74 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, people in small towns and big cities all 75 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: across the country. It is having a major impact and 76 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: people are less safe and secure. You deal with a 77 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: lot of this in your book. You know, we know 78 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: how to save lives, We know how to do it. 79 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani, Ray Kelly, Bernie Carrick. You know, there was 80 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: a revolution in law enforcement. In the nineteen nineties a revolution. 81 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: New York City went from two thousand plus murders a 82 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 1: year to less than three hundred and thirty five and 83 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: last city of eight million people. That's a huge accomplishment. 84 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: We know how to do it, and we can do 85 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: it legally, we can do it constitutionally, and we can 86 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: do it with respect. But what the left is done 87 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: is demonize law enforcement. I believe they're demonizing law enforcement 88 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: because they want to co op in law enforcement. If 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: you think about it, the Democrats basically control everything. They 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: control media, they control big tech control right now, the 91 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: White House. They control our culture to a large extent. 92 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: One area, two areas actually the military. They did not 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 1: have a foothold there. That's radically changing. And law enforce. 94 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: They want to redefine law enforce, and so far, without 95 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: a more robust pushback from US, it's working. Well. This 96 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: is where we now. Americans have to demand that we 97 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: refund the police. Americans have got to demand our borders 98 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: are secure. Unfortunately, you know, in the case of President Biden, 99 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: for example, he's not only not enforcing the laws of 100 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: the land, he's aiding, he's abetting in the law breaking 101 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: and even giving illegal immigrants people not respecting our laws, 102 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:52,039 Speaker 1: our borders, our sovereignty. He's actually handing them, you know, 103 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: preferential treatment because they're not getting any background checks. Last 104 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: year alone that we know of one hundred plus people 105 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: on the terror watch list they caught, but what about 106 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: the ones they didn't catch? Even the Department of Homeland 107 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: Security admits that half a million people at least are gotaways, 108 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: meaning we don't have any record of them at all whatsoever. 109 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: In the two years Biden has been president, five million 110 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 1: people now at least have crossed that border, and yet 111 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: they do nothing. They have preferential treatment they get. There's 112 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 1: no vaccine mandate. There's not even a COVID test in 113 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: the middle of a pandemic. There's no background check to 114 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: see if people have radical associations. There's no means testing 115 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 1: to see if people have the ability or will have 116 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: the ability to take care of themselves or whether they 117 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: will become a burden on the American people. And we 118 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: really can't afford it. Well, they're gutting America, they want 119 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: to destroy it. From time to time. I wonder if 120 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: if Joe Biden is conscious of that, or if he's 121 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 1: just going along with it, along for the ride. I 122 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: do believe that Barack Obama is pulling the strings here, 123 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 1: that he is a de facto leader of the Democrat 124 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 1: Party and bringing most of this, but not all of 125 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 1: this on. In my book, I actually make the case 126 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter came about twenty twenty eleven, twenty twelve. 127 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: What was happening at that point, Barack Obama was suffering 128 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: with African American voters. Not many people know about this, 129 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: but he was. He took a major hit in the polls. 130 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: They thought that a lot of things were going to 131 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 1: happen when Barack Obama became president. They didn't happen. Many 132 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 1: of them became disenchanted with him. Black Lives Matter was 133 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: formed in part to bail him out politically with people 134 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 1: of color. Now, Obama's written about this in his own 135 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: books that he was not sure if he was white, 136 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: he was not sure if he was black. He was viewed, 137 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 1: he said, with suspicion by the black community. At one 138 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: point he was going to just say, well, I'm going 139 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 1: to be a post racial president, and I'm going to 140 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: make points that most people can't. I'm going to go 141 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: into a church and say to the Black fathers. You 142 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: guys are m ia. You guys are a wall. Not 143 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 1: all of you, but a lot of you. I can 144 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 1: do that. I'm Barack Obama did that for about two 145 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: seconds and then he got scared. The left. Jesse Jackson 146 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: literally said, we are going to castrate him if he 147 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: keeps that up. So black well he did. Remember, you know, 148 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 1: the audacity of hope. Reverend Jeremiah writes Church white folks, 149 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: greed runs a world in need. We have a tape 150 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: of him actually saying it in his audio book. So 151 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, these are all positions that when you talk 152 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: about Black Lives Matter, we're not talking about people that 153 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: after the death of George Floyd had taken to the 154 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: streets and used those words to you know, to express 155 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: that displeasure. We're talking about the group Black Lives Matter, 156 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: the ones that were chanting what do we want dead? Cops? 157 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: When do we want him now? Pigs in a blanket, 158 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: fry him like bacon, which was a widespread sentiment, and 159 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: Black Lives Matter the organization and to a large extent, 160 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: the movement, I think corporate America the culture mindlessly and 161 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:00,559 Speaker 1: immediately just latched on because Black Lives matter of course 162 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: it sounds good. Well, who would argue with that? But 163 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: when you look at what they're for, they're for abolishing, 164 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: not just reforming, not defunding. They want to abolish the police. 165 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: They want to abolish the American family. And when we 166 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: see drag queens coming into schools and reading to children, 167 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,560 Speaker 1: you really see it. They're making good on their values. 168 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: This is what they want. I don't want to speak 169 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 1: to kids in school too. I'm not a teacher. I 170 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,199 Speaker 1: have no idea what is going on there other than 171 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: oh I do. I want to talk to every kid 172 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: in every school. I've got a lot to say to them, 173 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: except it would be unacceptable. They're sexualizing children. They want 174 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 1: to destroy the family, and they want to destroy law enforcement. 175 00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:54,439 Speaker 1: And in a cynical, cheap way, they are just concerned 176 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: about power. They want to make it another stronghold to 177 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: the Democrat Party. All right, quick break more with Greg 178 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 1: Kelly his new book, Justice for All, Amazon dot com, 179 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Hannity dot com, bookstores, everywhere, How well the Left is 180 00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 1: wrong about law enforcement? I would continue now with Greg Kelly. 181 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: His new book is out, Justice for All. How the 182 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Left is wrong about law enforcement? Amazon dot com, Hannity 183 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: dot com, bookstores everywhere. Let me ask you this question. 184 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: One of the things that I noticed after the George 185 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: Floyd incident. Now, I took a position very early that 186 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,960 Speaker 1: what the police officer did in that instance it was 187 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 1: way over the top. It was wrong policing, it was 188 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: poor training, and the police officer was in fact responsible 189 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: for the death of George Floyd. And I say this 190 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 1: as a student of martial arts now for over ten years, 191 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: and the most vulnerable part of the human anatomy would 192 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,200 Speaker 1: be one's necked. Part of my training is you know, 193 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 1: targeted strikes. For example, if you hit somebody in a karata, 194 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 1: they're probably gonna drop you. If you get somebody in 195 00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 1: a rear naked choke, you probably can choke him out 196 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: in seconds. And to put your knee on somebody's neck 197 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: for nearly nine straight minutes and pound his face into 198 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: the asphalt while the person is handcuffed, it was just 199 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: horrible policing. So I've thought at length about what other 200 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: alternatives can be available to police, and I think one 201 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 1: of the things they need are more non lethal options. 202 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fan of the stun gun that 203 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: you know has the wires you know coming out. That's 204 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 1: that's close quarter fighting. And there's a company I have 205 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: no financial interest in it, and it's named Berner by 206 00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 1: r A N. I'm sorry, NA. And they have a 207 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: company that produces a firearm that is non lethal that 208 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: shoots projectiles that have tear gas and two pepper sprays 209 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,559 Speaker 1: in it. I can hit somebody from forty feet away 210 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: with pinpoint accuracy and it incapacitates them. And if a 211 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: police officer makes a mistake, at least the person's not dead. 212 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: They don't have that option, and most most officers don't 213 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: get the training that they really need and deserve, especially 214 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: in the tough streets that they work in. Well, let 215 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: me run this by you. America went berserk over that 216 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: horrible incident. And there are and it's tough to say, 217 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: it's tough to speak about, but you can look it up. 218 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: There are instructions in the Minneapolis Police Department manual that 219 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 1: says a police officer is authorized. I didn't write it. 220 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: They did to put a knee, leg or arm on 221 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,079 Speaker 1: a neck of a suspect that is trying to be 222 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 1: that they're trying to subdue, but the guy was The 223 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: guy was handcuffed Greg I listen, I agree it was 224 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: a bizarre situation. He's also about a foot taller than 225 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 1: Derek Chauvin. But here's the deal. The threat to young 226 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: people in America twenty four and under, particularly young people 227 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: of color, is not from law enforcement. It's from It's 228 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: from young people shooting other young people with handguns. That 229 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 1: is a threat, end the less. Any criminologist and I 230 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: talked to a lot. The driver of that is the 231 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: single parent home. Now, there are plenty of people who 232 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: thrive in single parent homes, but the sure way to security, financial, social, 233 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: and otherwise is a two parent home. Right now, in 234 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: the black community, seventy five a black children are born 235 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 1: without a father. There's absolutely certain socioeconomic issues involved. There's 236 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,079 Speaker 1: also been the demonization of police. There's also been defunding 237 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 1: of police, dismantling of police departments. Also, there's no balansanity 238 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: is leading to an unsafe It is leading to unsafe 239 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: cities and towns all across the country. However, I do 240 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: think that more training and other alternatives for police could 241 00:13:53,920 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: genuinely have a better impact on the country. And the 242 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: cops are not trained to the level they need to 243 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 1: be trained. That's all there is to it. You know, 244 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: you can never have enough training, you can never have 245 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 1: enough training, but at some point you have to deploy 246 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: at some point. And I would say the numbers, if 247 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: you actually break down these numbers, they're very small. The 248 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: left likes to say that unarmed black men are being 249 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: killed every single day by law enforces. Now that's not true. 250 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: That is not true. The number is more like thirty. 251 00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, there happened to be a 252 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 1: lot more white people who are shot and killed by police, 253 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: even unarmed. So we can talk about training. But I 254 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: would say that these are aberrations. These are not moments 255 00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: from which to draw policy. These are the kinds of issues, 256 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: George Floyd, these discussions that get the base the left 257 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 1: excited and mad. Well, but you're right. On any given 258 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: weekend in Chicago, fifty people could be shot. We never 259 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: hear their names. Fair point, All right, Greg, I gotta 260 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 1: let you go anyway. His book is called Justice for 261 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: All How the Left is wrong about law enforcement. It's 262 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,120 Speaker 1: on Amazon dot com.

Susie, Hi, how are you 290 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 1: glad you called? Hey? Sean, I'm so glad to talk 291 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: to you. Good to hear your Royce and thank you. Funny. 292 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 1: You've been talking about truth and that's what I want 293 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: to talk about. Chip Roy, Jim Coomer, Arn Bobert, at Gates, 294 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: Marjorie Taylor Green and others. They were on Friday. It 295 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: was all about the truth. They were trying to get 296 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: the rules in the House to where things would be 297 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 1: discussed in an open way like they have not been 298 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 1: for the last four years, to be able to, you know, 299 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: to vacate a motion to vacate for one vote. That 300 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: that was pretty stunny. I thought that was pretty interesting 301 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: and a really good idea because Susie that that had 302 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: been agreed to days before January third. Right now, Remember 303 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: I had been in touch with a lot of these 304 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 1: people in December talking about all of these issues. My 305 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: frustration was not the changes. I like the changes. My 306 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:41,159 Speaker 1: frustration was that nobody would listen to me and understand 307 00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: that this is not what the American public wants to see. Now, 308 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 1: the base may want to see it, but you know what, 309 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: Let's say Republicans have forty five percent in their base, 310 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,760 Speaker 1: Democrats have forty five percent in their base. Where is 311 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 1: the election actually one? It's one with independent voters, and 312 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: I didn't think it was a good optic to start with. 313 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,679 Speaker 1: That was my opinion. It wasn't complaining about the changes. 314 00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: I like the changes. Well. The trick was though, that 315 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 1: nobody really knew what the changes were. I mean, the 316 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 1: public didn't know. If the public didn't, I tried to 317 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: share everything with you that I knew, and without going 318 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: into all the details that I'm not overblowing any role 319 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 1: that I might have had here. All I did was 320 00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,879 Speaker 1: tell these people early on to make their list, what 321 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: do they want, what's best for the House, what's best 322 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 1: for their constituency or their constituents, whatever district they have 323 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: to be in, and get in a room, closed the 324 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 1: door and make you deal. Well, that's true. That would 325 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: have been a great deal. And I don't know what 326 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: that was all about. I mean, I don't know why 327 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: it took so long, but it sure got everybody's attention. 328 00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 1: You know what it means. It means handy. They never 329 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,120 Speaker 1: listen to Hannity. Nobody ever listens to me. Yeah, yeah, Well, 330 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: and I love the part two where the Democrats are, 331 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: you know, they're supposedly kicking back and eating popcorn, and 332 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,679 Speaker 1: I got to thinking, you know what, this is probably 333 00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: making them a lot more nervous than anybody really knows, 334 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: because for the first time in four years, we're going 335 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,879 Speaker 1: to start to hear the truth and we really need that. 336 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, whether it's on than me. That's the part 337 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to see. I kept saying 338 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 1: last week. I used the phrase over and over again 339 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,639 Speaker 1: that the agenda is cemented in we already know what 340 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,200 Speaker 1: the agenda is. Remember, they really get two big powers 341 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 1: in the House, the power to subpoena and the power 342 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: of the purse. In terms of subpoena, we know Judiciary 343 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 1: Jim Jordan will investigate if the FBI has politicize, the 344 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: DOJ's weaponized. We know Jim Comer is going to investigate 345 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 1: the Biden Family syndicate. It will be an investigation into 346 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: President Joe Biden and whether or not this is the 347 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: biggest pay to play influence pedaling scandal in history. And 348 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: there's a lot of evidence early on that indicates that's 349 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: where this is going. Then, of course Afghanistan and COVID 350 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 1: and Fauci and borders, all of these things irrelevant, so 351 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 1: that agenda was always set coupled with their commitments to America. Well, 352 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: you know what else though, I listened to this weekend. 353 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: I listened to Jim's Komer talking with Chuck Todd and 354 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:18,199 Speaker 1: Chuck Todd's they're telling Jim Coomer, you're just you're just 355 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: after revenge. This gave Jim Coomer a soapbox to talk 356 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 1: about what was really true, and I thought that was 357 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 1: a great opportunity, and it gave them, you know, the 358 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 1: foolish media, the truth. And that's what I want to see. 359 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: They're going to have to talk about it more and more, 360 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 1: I believe, as far as what's being covered and what 361 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,679 Speaker 1: is happening in Congress, because well, I'm going to be 362 00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,399 Speaker 1: in DC tomorrow, and I think you're going to like 363 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: what I do tomorrow. I think I think you will 364 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: get I always do. There were some people that we're 365 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 1: gonna cut off here pretty quick. And I just want 366 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: to say thanks for talking with me, and thanks for 367 00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:00,960 Speaker 1: being in Spokane a few years ago. Spokane is a 368 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,919 Speaker 1: beautiful city. Two bad. It's in the state of Washington, 369 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:09,560 Speaker 1: the socialist state of Washington. Yeah. I know, our Governor, Susie. 370 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 1: You just have a great disposition about you. I hear 371 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 1: goodness in your heart and and I You're what makes 372 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: America great. It's the people. It's not these idiots in Washington. 373 00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,719 Speaker 1: I promise you. I got one last thing. Yes, ma'am. 374 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: I know you say, don't let your heart be troubled. 375 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 1: Your heart's troubled. Yep, Nope, mine is John eight thirty two. 376 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 1: You shall know the truth, and the truth will set 377 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: you free. That's what I lived by. Amen. Amen, preach 378 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: it any day, every place, everywhere. All right, let's go 379 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: to our phones. Mike and Georgia. What's up, Mike? How 380 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:47,120 Speaker 1: are you glad you called? Well? Thank you, Sean. I'm 381 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: neat clarification on how the mechanics to actually remove McCarthy 382 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: have been made easier by the negotiations last week. I 383 00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,679 Speaker 1: understand that it's easier to bring him up for a vote, 384 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: but has have the mechanics of actually number of votes 385 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: required to get him out of there changed or are 386 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 1: still up. Now, all the Democrats and establishment Republicans that 387 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: hold a vast majority together, it's going to be a 388 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,440 Speaker 1: vote among all those people. Listen as long as it's 389 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 1: not abused. Here's what it does. It ensures that the 390 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 1: Republican Party, the rank and file, have a mechanism whereby 391 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: if McCarthy starts going wobbly and becoming John Bayner on us, 392 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: he would have They would have the ability, the power. 393 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Any one member would have a one member threshold to 394 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,920 Speaker 1: put forward a motion to vacate, meaning vacate the speaker chair, 395 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 1: and at that point all business in the House would 396 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 1: stop and they would have a vote. If Kevin McCarthy 397 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 1: does anything that egregious, he will deserve you know, that 398 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: no confidence vote to go forward, and with a positive majority, 399 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: we'll have to see. I don't suspect that's going to happen. 400 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: I've had enough conversations with enough people, including McCarthy. I 401 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: think he's committed to the investigations, and I think he's 402 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,520 Speaker 1: committed to his commitments with America. He wrote them. He 403 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: wrote it with a number of other people putting giving 404 00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,679 Speaker 1: some input. So it is the America First Agenda that 405 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: most conservative support. So that was part of my frustration 406 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: a little bit last week too. It's like, guys, this 407 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,639 Speaker 1: is we've already agreed on all of this. There was 408 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 1: so much that had had been agreed to beforehand that 409 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: I think it could have been handled differently. But it's, 410 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: you know what, no harm, no foul. We had a 411 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,360 Speaker 1: week of a lot of votes and people got assurances 412 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 1: that they needed individually, and this is where we are. 413 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: So now it's time to get to work, roll up 414 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: your sleeves, and now fulfill the promises you made to 415 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: the American people. Well, my question also is who determines 416 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 1: the definition of the conservatives that he's supposed to appoint 417 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: to hit some of these committees. Sounds to me like 418 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,200 Speaker 1: as far as having any teeth to actually get rid 419 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 1: of him, this thing does not exist. Sounds like it's 420 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: easier to bring him up for vote, and I know 421 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: he should do this. I think all of that was 422 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: agreed to back is different than that. My understanding is 423 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: all of this was agreed to ahead of time. That's 424 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: my understanding. Freedom Caucus members now having more seats on 425 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: the House Rules Committee, which is the next step moving 426 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: forward voting on a bill, for example, on term limits 427 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: on the borders, for example. They will bifurcate all twelve 428 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 1: appropriations bills, exclude earmarks from any of these bills. A 429 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: lot of this is good. Seventy two hour notice from 430 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: release of the legislation before voting on it. You actually 431 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 1: have to read it a balance budget amendment. I like 432 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: all of it, and again I don't want people's expectations 433 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: to get out of whack here. They are one half 434 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,680 Speaker 1: of one body of government now with the federal government. 435 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,040 Speaker 1: And so when it gets so hopefully they pass their agenda. 436 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: I doubt the Senate will, but there's going to be 437 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 1: enormous pressure brought to bear on Senate Republicans and Democrats 438 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden because now America will see an alternative vision, 439 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 1: another path of the country, and that hopefully will be 440 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 1: you know, that will be impactful for twenty twenty four. 441 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: So as far as actually getting him off as a 442 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: Speaker of the House, none of the mechanics have actually changed. 443 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: This is all assuming he's going to proceed in good 444 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,920 Speaker 1: faith doing what he committed to do. And as it 445 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: my understanding, is it correct that he will be the 446 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: one who selects the chairman of these committees and so 447 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,440 Speaker 1: forth as supposed conservatives. I think that this has already 448 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: been worked out amongst them behind closed doors. That's my understanding, 449 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: all right. But I'm going to see it a lot 450 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: of these guys tomorrow in person, and when I do, 451 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: I'll ask some of these specific questions. Okay, okay. It'd 452 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: be interesting to see what takes place suit walking in 453 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,760 Speaker 1: the straight line where his history doesn't always portray that. 454 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: I appreciate you being one of us. Mike god Bush, 455 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 1: A happy New year, sir. Quick break. We'll come right back, Morrior. 456 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: Call straight ahead eight hundred ninety four one, Sean if 457 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: you want to be a part of the program. Right 458 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: back to our busy phones. Mark in Massachusetts, Mark II. 459 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 1: How are you glad you called? Oh? Sean? Yes, oh yeah, 460 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call. Sean. You did a great 461 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:31,800 Speaker 1: interview the other night with Bropt and Gates, and when 462 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: Matt Gates was practically giddy over everything he got and 463 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: said he couldn't even think of anything more to get 464 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 1: that was on the fourteenth vote, he went back and 465 00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: voted present when all he needed to vote was for McCarthy, 466 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: which he got everything he wanted, and that would have 467 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: ended it, and Gates took a chance. If they had 468 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: adjourned going into Monday, with some Republicans being sick, others 469 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,360 Speaker 1: having children, there was a chance of King Jeffreys could 470 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: have won. And that's why they that's why they ended 471 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: up with And they used to bust Obama for voting present, 472 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,360 Speaker 1: and then two minutes later, because I'm an independent Conservative, 473 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: I'm getting texts for money to send to Matt Gates 474 00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:20,119 Speaker 1: and I thought, I thought he misled you because you 475 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: did a great job on him, and it seemed like 476 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 1: he was going to go back to vote for McCarthy. 477 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 1: That would have been the one vote on the fourteenth 478 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 1: round to get him over the top. And that's why 479 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: Mike Rodgers won. Boncos Yeah, like that was a little bizarre, 480 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 1: the whole scene unfolding, um a little behind the scenes. 481 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: I did have a conversation, as a matter of fact, 482 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 1: in the last break on Friday on this show. He 483 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: actually called me and said we're there. We're done. Whether 484 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,959 Speaker 1: it's tonight or Monday, or Saturday or Monday, I don't know, 485 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: but he was telling me the deal was done, and 486 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: so I think in his part, he wanted to see 487 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,440 Speaker 1: certain things that they had agreed to in writing. That's 488 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: why that happened. But you know, he could explain that himself, 489 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: if that makes sense. But I mean, does him voting 490 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 1: present at that point, knowing the alternative on Monday could 491 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: have been Keem Jeffries? Was it worth it? And then 492 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: when he said McCarthy's part of the problem when he 493 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 1: raised the five hundred million, there was no scenario I 494 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,600 Speaker 1: can tell you, but in Bloomberg go in half a 495 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: Silicon valley. If there's no money, I can guarantee you 496 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 1: if Sheldon Adelson was still alive, Matt Gates wouldn't have 497 00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,440 Speaker 1: pulled this crap. Well, I'll only tell you this without 498 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 1: revealing my sources. I can only tell you under no circumstances. 499 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:47,640 Speaker 1: Was it ever gonna happen that Hakeem Jeffries became speaker 500 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: that part? I know, Okay, Well, you were you disenfranchised 501 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,719 Speaker 1: when he went back and voted present. No, because he 502 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 1: was honest with me and didn't say exactly when he 503 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: was going when the deal was done. He wanted something 504 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: very specifically in writing and in assurance that had not 505 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 1: been put down the way he wanted. Okay, I saw, 506 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 1: I saw it a little different. And then amazingly, I'm 507 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: just giving you. I'm giving you behind the scenes conversations, 508 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: direct conversations. I had to send him money about that 509 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,840 Speaker 1: five minutes of your show that I've known nothing about. 510 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,960 Speaker 1: I mean, anyhow, you did a great job. I thought 511 00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: you held their feet to the fire. And I thought 512 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: I thought I thought they I thought they backstabbed the audience. 513 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 1: I thought he was confident to go back and just 514 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: end it. Well, look, be confident in this, regardless of 515 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: the process was messy. That didn't. At no point was 516 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 1: I nervous last week, and I told everybody I wasn't. 517 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: I was talking to too many people, working every source 518 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 1: I had, and trying to get an understanding of where 519 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,200 Speaker 1: everybody was and what it would take to get the 520 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 1: deal done. Now, my frustration, first and foremost was that 521 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: everybody agrees on the agenda, agrees on the investigations, agrees 522 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: on the commitments to America, but not everybody agreed on 523 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: the other side of it. In terms of Okay, I 524 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:12,720 Speaker 1: want the assurance. I want this assurance. I want that assurance. 525 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 1: And the bar to be honest kept moving because some people. 526 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 1: Once the motion to vacate was agreed to it, the 527 00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: earlier version was any five congressmen could could that would 528 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 1: be the threshold. Once that happened, the bar started moving 529 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and they started asking more stuff. And that was frustrating 530 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:36,440 Speaker 1: for me because I had again speaking to people working sources. 531 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 1: I had said, what's your final list and then things, 532 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:41,960 Speaker 1: you know, the list kept getting bigger and bigger. Oh, 533 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: they knew there was nobody ever going to be close 534 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 1: to McCarthey. He was ten to one. So what were 535 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 1: they playing games with? And again that voting present. I 536 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: can remember all the conservative players, and I am an 537 00:30:55,800 --> 00:31:00,160 Speaker 1: independent conservative. They were going after Barack Obama for all 538 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: the times he voted president. It's either you know, it's 539 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: either it's it's it's either white, you know, white or black. 540 00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:10,280 Speaker 1: You're gonna you're gonna vote yes or no. But voting present, 541 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 1: to me, that's a cop out. All. I appreciate you 542 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 1: being with us, I listen, just be happy it's done. 543 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: I wouldn't I wouldn't worry too much about a lot 544 00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: of it. Um I truly believe, and I believe the 545 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: whole time that the agenda items were kind of in 546 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: cement um, and maybe it's in the end pretty good 547 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,760 Speaker 1: that people got to see what really goes on behind 548 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: closed doors, because that's what is go that, that's reality, 549 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 1: that's what happens. That's the Democrats and the Republicans. That's 550 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: why it's a swamp. That's why I'm neither a registered 551 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 1: Republican or Democrat. Obviously I don't support any Democrats, but 552 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 1: I'm a conservative
