9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: We've got a pretty cool thing that we're going to

10
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 1: be doing with Fox News in the days ahead, something

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: I've resisted almost my entire career. It's not going to

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: be a whole show thing, but I think it's going

13
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: to be something that you all like. Today has been

14
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: a phenomenal day for the country and for the President

15
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: of the United States. I told you when I got

16
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: back from vacation, I didn't watch a lot of news,

17
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: but my observations were very, very keen. It's it's transparent.

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: This is not I'm not reinventing the wheel here, but

19
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: I just came to the conclusion that something very evident

20
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: is happening within the country, and it's something we're gonna

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: have to get used to, and it's something that is

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: going to have to be dealt with, and that is

23
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: that there's You've got these forces that wake up every

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,839
Speaker 1: single second, every single hour, minute of every single day,

25
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 1: and all they care about is destroying the President of

26
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 1: the United States. That's it. And you can see it

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: most obviously with the media. It is twenty four seven.

28
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean Jill Abramson and the New York Times basically

29
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: saying they're reporting is abusively biased against Donald Trump. That

30
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: pretty much speaks volumes, right. But it's every cable network

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: except our little oasis on Fox Hannity nine Eastern. And

32
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: what you're gonna see is never ending investigations. You know

33
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the things that we heard, and I'm going to play

34
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: all of this for you in the course of the program.

35
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: But you know, we have a new member of Congress.

36
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: We are going to impeague them effort, meaning Donald Trump.

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 1: You've got Alexandria Acasio Cortez proposing, get this, a seventy

38
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: percent tax rate on the super wealthy. She wants to

39
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 1: fund what is known as a New Green Deal, that's

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: what they're calling it. This is the single most radical

41
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,839
Speaker 1: group of people ever elected in United States history, you're

42
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: watching the beginnings of socialism rising in America. And what

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: that means. I'll give you an example. If you live

44
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: in New York City or state, well, that means seventy

45
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: percent of every dime you make would go to the

46
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: federal government. Then another ten percent goes to the state government,

47
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: and then another four percent. If you work in New

48
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: York City and you live outside the city, will live

49
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: in this another four percent for them. Then if you

50
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 1: live outside the city and counties like Westchester, Nassau or

51
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Suffolk County the highest property taxed counties in the entire country.

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: So we start the day with something the media wasn't expecting,

53
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: and that is that, oh, manufacturing under Donald Trump is

54
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: the best it has now been in twenty years. In

55
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: two decades, manufacturing created two hundred and eighty four thousand jobs.

56
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 1: In twenty eighteen, were now up to four hundred thousand

57
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: new manufacturing jobs. And if you go back to the

58
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: Obama years, those were the jobs Obama said we're never

59
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: coming back. Well, if you live in western Pennsylvania, if

60
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: you'll live in Ohio and Michigan, and you'll live in Wisconsin,

61
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: and you took the chance Donald Trump said, well, you know,

62
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: what have you got to lose, Well, you had a

63
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: lot to gain. And it's even better than that. The

64
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: president now since he's been elected, we're talking about five

65
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: million new jobs for this country. Five million the president.

66
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,479
Speaker 1: We know in one of his top accomplishments of last

67
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: year that nobody in the media talks about. We produce

68
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: more energy, more oil than both Saudi Arabia and Russia.

69
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: And for the first time in decades and decades, the

70
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: United States is energy independent. Now that's good for national security.

71
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: But it's even going to be better when these pipelines

72
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: are finished, when anwar is opened up, because those are

73
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: going to be literally millions of high paying career jobs

74
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: that are available for Americans. I mean, and it's the

75
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: lifeblood of our economy. But construction is holding, manufacturing is up,

76
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: healthcare is up, retail is up, and three hundred and

77
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: twelve thousand new jobs created just in December alone, not

78
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 1: number that was predicted by anybody with all the talk

79
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: about the stock market and it's more recent decline, precipitous decline.

80
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: But there, you know, with the balanced off by the

81
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: fact they never raised interest rates during the Obama years,

82
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: the Fed was instrumental in helping prop up the economy

83
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: for Barack Obama, and they never put the pressure of

84
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: higher interest rates on his economy because it was doing

85
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 1: so poorly. But you're still up thirty percent from where

86
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: we were. I'm not a big stock market person. Then

87
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: you have all the record low unemployment where Hispanic unemployment

88
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: in America is now hit another record low in December.

89
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: We have record low unemployment rates for African Americans, Hispanic Americans,

90
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: Asian Americans, women in the workplace, youth unemployment, the American people.

91
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 1: What was twenty sixteen amount? It wasn't about Russia, but

92
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: it was out the thirteen million additional Americans on food

93
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: stamps under Obama. It was about the eight million additional

94
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: Americans in poverty under Obama. That's what it was abound.

95
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 1: So we got three hundred twelve thousand new jobs for

96
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: the month of December alone, all sectors benefiting. The dao's

97
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: skyrockets and rebounds as a result of all this. And

98
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: this is where it gets fascinating, because the Democrats never

99
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: told you what they really were planning to do. I said, look,

100
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 1: you gotta pay attention, because they do have an agenda.

101
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: There are a couple of people like Maxie Waters that

102
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: would go out and say, impeach forty five and peach

103
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: forty five. They've always wanted to impeach. Nancy Pelosi wants

104
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: to raise taxes. They're in the process of doing such.

105
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: And they want to raise taxes. If you look at

106
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 1: the new rising star in the Democratic Party, Acasio Cortez, again,

107
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: she wants a se f andd percent top marginal tax rate.

108
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: With the economy booming and you have a seventy percent taxes,

109
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 1: what do you think people that make money, you're going

110
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: to do well. They're going to do the opposite of

111
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: what Donald Trump has been incentivizing to do, which is

112
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: to invest in cities and towns and revitalize the economies

113
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 1: in places like Pittsburgh and Wisconsin, in Michigan and Ohio.

114
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: That's all going to go away because well, maybe they're

115
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: rich people, and maybe Democrats want to create this this jealousy,

116
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: this divide. But the divide is going to be, oh,

117
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: we're taking our money and we're going to invest where

118
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 1: we have a better rate of return. So that I mean,

119
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: she says this on sixty minutes. Now, I predicted and

120
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: one of the reasons we started Hannity Watch is I

121
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: predicted that the Democratic Party is going to lose it.

122
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: The Democratic Party is not going to be promoting policies

123
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: that will benefit the men and women in this country.

124
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: And I kept saying to you, well, we're gonna have

125
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: Hannity Watch on the economy. We're gonna have Hannity Watch

126
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: on media hypocrisy. We're gonna have Hannity Watch on democratic hypocrisy.

127
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: Remember they all four years ago they were willing to

128
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: build a wall in our southern border. We'll have Hannity

129
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:26,119
Speaker 1: Watch on indoctrination on college campuses. We'll have Hannity Watch

130
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: on Hollywood hypocrisy and their radical agenda that they like

131
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: to push through movies in the public domain. We're gonna

132
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: have Hannity Watch on the border, Hannity Watch on the

133
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: rise of socialism. And it's all going to be filtered

134
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: through a simple question. Is this in your best interests?

135
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: Is this in your family's best interests? Is this in

136
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: the United States of America's best interests. So we've got

137
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: a new Congress. I guess it was their day to

138
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 1: be giddy yesterday, and they're all flapping up the new

139
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 1: the new power trip that they're on and they lost it.

140
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: I told you in a hundred days, one hundred days,

141
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 1: the entire country is going to know just how radical

142
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: this new Congress is. Let's start cut one Rashida Clabe

143
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: and that's how you say her last name. I think so,

144
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: and we are going to impeach the m effort. Impeach

145
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: the m effort talking about the President of the United States.

146
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: People love you, and you win, and when your son

147
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: looks at you and says, Mama, look you won. Bullies

148
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 1: don't win. And I said, baby, they don't because we're

149
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: gonna go in there. We're gonna impeach the other. Well,

150
00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: impeach the m effort. Okay, then let's take it to

151
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: alexandrias Acasio Cortez proposing the seventy percent tax rate. Again,

152
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 1: that's not something they ran on. This is what she said.

153
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: There's an element where, yeah, people are going to have

154
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,319
Speaker 1: to start paying their fair share and taxes. Do you

155
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: have a specific on the tax rate? You know, you

156
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 1: look at our tax rates back in the sixties, and

157
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: when you have a progressive tax rate system, your tax rate,

158
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, let's say from zero to seventy five thousand

159
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 1: dollars may be ten percent or fifteen percents, etc. But

160
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: once you get to like the tippy tops on your

161
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: ten million dollars, sometimes you see tax rates as high

162
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: as sixty or seventy percent. That doesn't mean all ten

163
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: million dollars or taxed at an extremely high rate, but

164
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: it means that as you climb up this ladder, you

165
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: should be contributing more. You should be contributing more. Okay,

166
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 1: what does she think? Though? I've never got a job,

167
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: and I know many of you listen to the program

168
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,680
Speaker 1: for many years. You know my jobs. Bus I was

169
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 1: a paper boy at a dishwasher at twelve, cook at thirteen,

170
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: bus boy, waiter, bartender, house painting, contractor wallpaper, hanger, frame

171
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: or roofer, ship building. I mean, I did it all,

172
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 1: and it was two decades of my life. I actually

173
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: loved it in many ways. When I worked in restaurants

174
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: or I did remodeling work, I kind of became and

175
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: involved into a finished specialist. I had a good eye

176
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: for detail, and I never worked for a poor person.

177
00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,599
Speaker 1: They were not able to afford the services that I'm provided.

178
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 1: I never got a tip in a restaurant from a

179
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,959
Speaker 1: poor person and the idea, I know, I got to

180
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,440
Speaker 1: a steakhouse in New York. I go to Del Frisco

181
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: as a ruth truth. And these guys work really hard

182
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: serving customers in the hopes that they're going to get

183
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: good tips so that they can pay their rent and

184
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: pay their car payments. So now she wants to confiscate

185
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: what would be the equivalent if you lived in her

186
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: state of New York of eighty five cents of every dollar. Well,

187
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 1: that means the rich people won't be buying boats that

188
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: they like recreationally, They're not going to be taking expensive

189
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 1: vacations anymore, and they probably won't be investing their money

190
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: in America anymore because it won't be profitable for them. Okay,

191
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: how does that impact people in the restaurant business, the

192
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: hotel business, the travel industry, the building business. If they're

193
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 1: going to pull their money back, that is the rise

194
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 1: of socialism. That is the false promise of government saving

195
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 1: you from every aspect of life. Then you got Nina Turner,

196
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: another new member of Congress. Republicans need to change the

197
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: presidents of the United States diapers. Here we go. President.

198
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: He's a whiner. He whines like a baby. He's a

199
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 1: liar and he's a whiner, and I think what needs

200
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: to happen is the Republicans have got to go over

201
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: there and change the president's diapers done. That's what this

202
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: is coming down to, so that he can cut it out,

203
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: so that the grown folks, the big girls, and the

204
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: big boys can go around the table, sit around the

205
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: table and do what is necessary for this government. Number

206
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: one is to do away with this shutdown so that

207
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: those eight hundred thousand folks that you talked about, some

208
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: of those are our neighbors, our relatives, our friends, and

209
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: even strangers who definitely need their paychecks that they are

210
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: not getting. So the winding and the line must stop.

211
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: That's my memo to the president. Okay, former, by the way,

212
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 1: Congresswoman eight hundred nine four one, Sean, if you want

213
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: to be a part of the program, we have more insanity.

214
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: But the amazing thing about today is Trump took it over.

215
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: The amazing thing about today is Trump has the better

216
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: argument on the government shutdown and on the issue of

217
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: border security. The President said, well, if we have to,

218
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: we'll keep the government shut for a year whatever it's

219
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: gonna take to stop drugs from being brought into this country,

220
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: drug trafficking, human trafficking, the dangers of potential terrorists crossing

221
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: our borders, the danger of gang members and cartels crossing

222
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:17,440
Speaker 1: our borders, and having a legal immigration system that keeps

223
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: every American secure. Now the wall can have a door,

224
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: it can be a felt high fence that people cam climb.

225
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: But I don't see the President giving in. And while

226
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi can say she's only going to offer a dollar,

227
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: that deal's never gonna happen. Nor is Mitch McConnell going

228
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: to bring up any of their bills in the Senate.

229
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: So it's very different than the way the media is

230
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: portraying things. They don't have the juice to get anything

231
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: done unless they go through the president. And the president

232
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: they made that very clear today. Smoking is not about politics,

233
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: it's about people. There are thirty four million Americans that smoke.

234
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: For me, Jewel was a game changer because you switch

235
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: to Jewel, it's simple, it's satisfying, and no more smell.

236
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: I watch people all the time they run outside and

237
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 1: the freezing coal you could be grabbing their cigarette. Well,

238
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: with Jewel, you'll take a quick puff and you're good.

239
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: That's it. Now, Jewel is designed which smokers in mind.

240
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: From its form to technology. It's easy to use, no buttons,

241
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: no switches, and the goal of Jewel is to impact

242
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: the lives of adults smokers by providing a satisfying alternative.

243
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 1: Switch to Jewel. You'll wish you had done it a

244
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: long time ago. To discover the smoking alternative that is

245
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 1: nothing like any e sig vape you have ever tried.

250
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine for one Shaun

251
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: Tolfrey telephone number. You want to be a part of this,

252
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: this extravaganza. This is one of these things. Everything the

253
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: Democrats are doing is not They don't have the juice

254
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 1: and the power to go anywhere. Now if the President

255
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: decides that because of national security, and this just crossed

256
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 1: the wires because the President just said it in his

257
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: recent press conference, and I think the President is right

258
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: about this. He is now considering declaring a national emergency

259
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: to build the border wall. I can do it if

260
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: I want, he said during the press conference in the

261
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 1: Rose Garden. We can call a national emergency and do

262
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: it very quickly. Well at that point, I would believe

263
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 1: that makes the military defense budget money available. But think

264
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: about it, it is a national security issue. Ninety percent

265
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: of the heroine coming into America. And you know what's

266
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: happening with the opioid crisis. These kids are getting addicted

267
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: and even older people to vike it in and percocet, oxyconton,

268
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,400
Speaker 1: and then they can't afford eighty dollars a pill on

269
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: the street if they can't get a doctor to prescribe

270
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: it for them, and then they're you know, they seek

271
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: other forms to fill their addiction than they're getting ten

272
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: dollars bags a heroin that are often laced with fentnol

273
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:14,719
Speaker 1: and that results in a death sentence for you know,

274
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand Americans every year. That's why this

275
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: is a national security epidemic. That's not your heartbeat. Troubled.

276
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: Join Sean's army on Twitter. Where we get back to

277
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: conservative values. All right? The President considering declaring a national

278
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: emergency as it comes to the border. Democrats are losing

279
00:17:54,480 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: their mind. And all of this is predictable. You know,

280
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 1: what did I say they're doing. I said they want

281
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: their crumbs back, They want impeachment. Right, they moved on impeachment.

282
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: They want to get rid of the electoral college. Now

283
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: that's part of their legislation. Now they their House Democrats

284
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: announced a bill to force Donald Trump to disclose his

285
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 1: tax returns. That's not gonna happen legislatively period. There's going

286
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: to be endless investigation. And the Democrats, those seemingly seem fearful.

287
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: And I have to wonder because when Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi,

288
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: and Gerald Nadler all simultaneously are saying, well, we don't

289
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: really see a path to impeachment, it sounds like they've

290
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: gotten either insight or advice about going down that road.

291
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 1: Now we pick presidents. We have a process for electing presidents,

292
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 1: and they're called elections. And when the American people decide

293
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: on a president, even in spite of all the forces

294
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: that were again the president, including the deep state, including

295
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 1: Russian lies and interference that were paid for by the

296
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: president's opponent by literally trying to delegitimize him two full

297
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: years and now doubling down on one investigation after another.

298
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,719
Speaker 1: None of these things are helping the American people, and

299
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: yet the president has successfully navigated. Look at what we had.

300
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: What I discussed with Mike Pompeo. Last night with Mike Pompeo,

301
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,880
Speaker 1: we discussed, Oh, North Korea, little rocketman, fire and fury.

302
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: No more rockets fired every other weekend over Japan, not

303
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: threatening Guam, not threatening the entire Korean peninsula. Talks now

304
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: of denuclearization. That's a win for the president. Is supposed

305
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: to be soon to be announced, a second summit meeting

306
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: with Kim Jong un. Then you've got China, where the

307
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: President has been negotiating hard. It has had probably some

308
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: impact on the markets, but were still up thirty percent

309
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 1: from when the president took over. That'd be a fifteen

310
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: return a year if you're averaging the two years that

311
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: he's been elected, So not a bad return. Although I'm

312
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,439
Speaker 1: not the biggest fan of the stock market, I always

313
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,360
Speaker 1: feel a need to tell you that I don't trust it,

314
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: and I think a certain amount of it is gambling.

315
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: But putting that aside, it's still up. It's still a

316
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: considerable return, especially if you're considering like something safe like

317
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,960
Speaker 1: a treasury or immuni bond or whatever else people buy.

318
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 1: Then you've got the president keeping his promises with the

319
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: largest tax cuts in history. Then the president has gotten

320
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: rid of more burdensome regulation than any other president in

321
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: history combined. And he did it in a year that

322
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 1: has opened the door where now these pipelines, the code

323
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: of pipeline, the Keystone access pipeline are being built. Now.

324
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: America in the last year has become the number one

325
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: crude oil producer in the entire world, passing Russia and

326
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia. And we've only begun the process because we're

327
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: only talking about crude oil and we haven't even touched anwar,

328
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: because they've got to get their equipment and build out

329
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:19,200
Speaker 1: their wells in anwar, which we're told has decades worth

330
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: of oil. We now record low oil prices. I mean,

331
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: it was getting up to eighty five dollars a barrel

332
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 1: again and just dumped down to the forties. And maybe

333
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 1: some oil companies don't like it, but too bad for them.

334
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 1: They're also going to have future competition because all the

335
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: natural gas resources we have and so all of these

336
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: things are happening under the president. Presidents put two originalists

337
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 1: on the Supreme Court, two names he gave us before

338
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: he was elected. And the President has kept his promises

339
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 1: on every major, big issue and didn't have a lot

340
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: of help and support from some Republicans that just don't

341
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: know how to handle working at the speed of Trump. Now,

342
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: we did get rid of the mandate as it relates

343
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: to Obamacare, we still have more work to do on healthcare.

344
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: The president wants free market solutions. Now. The President is

345
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 1: doing what he was elected to do, and that is

346
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: to fight to secure our southern borders. We know what's

347
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 1: going on down there. I've been there now for years.

348
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: I have reported up close and personal all of the

349
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: problems we have at our southern border. Our producer Linda

350
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: and Sarah Carter put together a nonprofit documentary about the

351
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: opioid crisis. Tell me if I'm wrong. We're losing over

352
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand people a year. If I remember from

353
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: the documentary, right, because the opioid addiction about Yeah, it's

354
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two people a day. Yeah, I

355
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: mean one hundred and seventy two American people a Day's

356
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: and a lot of them are kids. And a lot

357
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 1: of the drugs, especially the heroine, and a lot of

358
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: the heroine now laced with fent and all that three

359
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: equivalent grains of fent and all the size of three

360
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: grains assault can kill a two hundred and fifty pound

361
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 1: man that's showing up all across the country. The epidemic

362
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: is destroying small towns in big cities. Ninety percent of

363
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: that heroin after people transition from you know, these pain

364
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: pills that they can't afford at eighty bucks a pop

365
00:23:17,119 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: on the street, then they get in ten dollar bags

366
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: at heroine, you know, made in these god forsaken places.

367
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: I mean, watch the show Trade or Drugs Inc. On

368
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 1: that geo and Showtime has the Trade show, and you're

369
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,600
Speaker 1: going to see exactly what's going on at the southern border.

370
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Then there's human trafficking. Then of course there's potential terrorists

371
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: that want to cross the border. Then there's criminals that

372
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 1: want to cross the border, gang members that want to

373
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: cross the border. Now I acknowledge that ninety nine percent

374
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: of probably good people that want a better life for

375
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 1: themselves and their families, But I'm not worried about them,

376
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: and if they want to come in, they're just going

377
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: to have to follow the process like officers Singh's family did,

378
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:58,640
Speaker 1: and he was killed by an illegal that was in

379
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: the criminal justice city them beyond violating our immigration laws,

380
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: and of course sanctuary laws protected him, and that allowed

381
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 1: him to go out and kill an innocent person, a

382
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 1: father of a five month old kid. And it's not

383
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: the first time we had were a dozen Americans. It

384
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 1: was an article yesterday. That's what they're living through. So

385
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 1: you know, when you see the president fight, to me,

386
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: this was his day. To me, this was the president

387
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 1: and the power of the bully pulpit to me. Today,

388
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: the President saying, well, if I have to, I'm going

389
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: to declare a national emergency, which will then empower him

390
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: to build a wall, and that would that the moneies

391
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 1: are already dedicated because it's a national emergency. And asked

392
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: if he would do it, he said, we can do it.

393
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: I haven't done it. I may do it. And the

394
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: government has been partially shut down for fourteen days and

395
00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: most Americans don't particularly care. Now, I do care about

396
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 1: people that have mortgages and rents to pay and car payments,

397
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: and you know, they shouldn't be caught in as political

398
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: cross fire. And even though they're not working, I suggest

399
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 1: that they get their back pay, because, through no fault

400
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: of their own, they probably all want to go to work,

401
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: although I'm sure they're enjoying their time off, but you know,

402
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 1: they need the money, and if the government was open,

403
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: they'd work with That's something that could be done fairly expeditiously.

404
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: The Democrats show up in Congress and their new membership

405
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: is referring to the President as a m effer and

406
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,879
Speaker 1: we're going to impeach this effer. When Nancy Pelosi is

407
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: asked about it, she's fine with it. Apparently doesn't have

408
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: a problem with her new colleagues. She didn't win by

409
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: a particularly large margin. Why did she win by a

410
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 1: two vote margin and then like three people change their

411
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 1: vote or something, So she's not in the strongest position

412
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 1: at all with the new members of Congress. They're going

413
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: to be pulling her to the hard left. You got

414
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: never trumpers like Rick Wilson out there slamming the border

415
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 1: as a con for Trump's you know what, Route ten

416
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,119
Speaker 1: tooth basses whatever he's I mean, it's just insanity. So

417
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 1: is she right Rick about the president's motives here. This

418
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 1: wall is just to keep his base attention. The wall

419
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 1: has always been a con for Donald Trump's credulous, rube

420
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: ten tooth base. The wall has always been a scam.

421
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 1: It has always been a lie. Nothing about the wall

422
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,639
Speaker 1: has ever been real, and Donald Trump knows it. He

423
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: is a guy who has a long history in his

424
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: career as being a con man. He is conning these

425
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 1: people who believe he's going to build a two thousand mile,

426
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: thirty foot high concrete wall with laser moats and alligators

427
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: in it. It's just crazy. It always has been. I

428
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 1: wonder how many times Rick has ever been down there,

429
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 1: and he's one of the never trumpers who's been against

430
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: the president from the beginning. Look, none of what the

431
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 1: same matter to me. It just doesn't, because if the

432
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 1: President continues on foreign policy. Let's go back. I mentioned

433
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: the President keeping his promise confronting fire Fury, little Rocketman.

434
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 1: We get hostages back, we get remains of our soldiers

435
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: from the fifties back. We get a halt to the

436
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: missile testing programs of Kim Jong un and talk of

437
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 1: denuclearization on China. The president firmly battling a trade deficit

438
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: that's turning this country. The trade barriers that have been

439
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: put up by the Chinese. Well, now they're talking about

440
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 1: removing the tariffs on American automobiles and cars. Now they're

441
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: talking about importing American agricultural products like soybeans and broccoli

442
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: and all the things that our farmers are making. Then

443
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: the President keeps his promise as it relates to the

444
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,000
Speaker 1: embassy move to Jerusalem. And then the President keeps his

445
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 1: promise and gets us out of that horrific Iranian deal

446
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: and has put a stranglehold now on the Iranian economy,

447
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: which will bear dividends in the end. And whether you

448
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,359
Speaker 1: like his position on Syria and Afghanistan and the timing

449
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:14,040
Speaker 1: of the pullout, and President hasn't given a timing deadline

450
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,360
Speaker 1: of any kind, just saying that he doesn't want to

451
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 1: stay in these countries forever. And we can provide. Now,

452
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: we have to be careful because the nine to eleven

453
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,479
Speaker 1: Commissioner report always said they were at war with us.

454
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,959
Speaker 1: We weren't at war with them. You don't want the

455
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: re emergence of al Qaeda. The Isis Caliphate has been

456
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: brought to its knees because of the president's change and

457
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: shift in military policy, which is to win wars and

458
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: remove the absurd rules of engagement that were in place

459
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: under the Obama years. And I'm watching Chuck Schumer and company,

460
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,480
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, you know, this is pretty amazing stuff.

461
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: They thought they were going to roll over Trump. I

462
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 1: really believe, I personally believe that one way or the other,

463
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: the President is going to get this wall money and

464
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 1: get the wall built. Ideally, he's doing it the right way.

465
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: You know. The first thing would happen, and he mentioned

466
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 1: this at his press conference, will play it later, is

467
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: that there's going to be some judge shopping that goes on.

468
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: They'll file a lawsuit somewhere in California where we know

469
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: the appeal will go directly to the Ninth Circuit. The

470
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 1: Ninth Circuit, even with its history or being overturned, you

471
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: know some eighty percent of the time, it just it

472
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,479
Speaker 1: slows down the process that can take years. So the

473
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: President is anticipating such and he's waiting. He got some

474
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: congressman repeatedly comparing the president, wasn't this the congressman I

475
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,920
Speaker 1: was talking about this last night, that thought that if

476
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,400
Speaker 1: we had too many soldiers on Guam that we tipped

477
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 1: the island over. Who is that, Congressman, Yeah, Hank Johnson, Right, Okay,

478
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: Now he's using analogies comparing the president to Hitler. Listen

479
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: to this. Americans elected an authoritarian, anti immigrant, racist strong

480
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: man to the nation's highest office, Donald Trump and his

481
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: make America Great Again followers, who want to return America

482
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:16,800
Speaker 1: back to a time when white men and white privilege

483
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 1: were unchallenged and where minorities and women were in their place.

484
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 1: Hitler led a political movement of anti education, anti science

485
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: racists who focused on nationalism, with rhetoric about making Germany

486
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: a strong country which would result in prosperity for the

487
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: German people who were hurting due to the disruption caused

488
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: by the Wall Street Crash of nineteen twenty nine and

489
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: the effects of the Great Depression. Familiar the America is

490
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: gonna know in huge numbers, mark my words, that the

491
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: House of Representatives now controlled by the hard radical hate

492
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: Trump left. But with that said, they've got some questions,

493
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: They've got an answer. They've got constituents that I'm sure

494
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 1: want border security. They probably in their districts have issues

495
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: involving opioids and drugs that are destroying families, and a

496
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 1: lot of those drugs where they coming from the southern border.

497
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 1: They probably you have constituents that maybe don't have the

498
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: job opportunities at the pay levels that people want, in

499
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,479
Speaker 1: part because of the cheap labor that crosses our southern border.

500
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Maybe they want some controls over that because that's impacting

501
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 1: a lot of communities. So the President is saying, well,

502
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:50,840
Speaker 1: if it takes a year, I hope it doesn't. I

503
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: hope I can get it solved quickly. I was here

504
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 1: all through Christmas and New Year's waiting to negotiate. They weren't.

505
00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 1: They were in Hawaii and the Bahamas. And the President

506
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:03,239
Speaker 1: came out today met them all and said, all right,

507
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: let's do a deal. Um, what do you have there, Linda,

508
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 1: you're talking about you have Hank Johnson talking about the

509
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: cap sizing. It's from twenty ten, if you want to

510
00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: remind your audience. He really didn't say this thing. No, No,

511
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: I have the tape. I just found it. He said, So,

512
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: this guy, Hank Johnson, said that if we put too

513
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: many trips on the troops on Guam, that the island

514
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: is going to tip over. He said that here we

515
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: have the tape of it. Yeah, my fear is that

516
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: the whole island will become so overly populated that it

517
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 1: will tip over and and cap size. We don't anticipate

518
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:52,360
Speaker 1: that they Oh man, you can't make this up. Wow. Anyway,

519
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: So the president today, you know, the president's approval rating

520
00:32:57,240 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 1: hasn't shifted much. Think about this president's approval rating. His

521
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: stayed solid. The American people have voted for him, love

522
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: that he fights. They elected him to fight. They elected

523
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 1: a disruptor, they elected a iconoclass. The only thing you

524
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: hear from some Republicans Mitt Romney's upsetting over his style. Oh,

525
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: Mitt Romney style didn't get elected. Mitt Romney could have

526
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: won in twenty twelve. These are all conservative solutions that

527
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: he's implementing, things I've advocated thirty years in my career.

528
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,760
Speaker 1: Schumer came out and said that the meeting, from his

529
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:38,800
Speaker 1: point of view and speaker Pelosis, was contentious. He also said,

530
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: you said in the meeting, this is him quoting you.

531
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I just want to check that the shutdown could go

532
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: on for months or even a year or longer. Did

533
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 1: you say that is where we are? Absolutely? I said

534
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: that I don't think it will but I am prepared,

535
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: and I think I can speak for Republicans in the

536
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: House and Republicans in the Senate. They feel very strongly

537
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 1: about having a safe country, having a border that makes sense.

538
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,239
Speaker 1: Without borders. I've said it many times, we don't have

539
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:13,240
Speaker 1: a country. I hope it doesn't go on even beyond

540
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 1: a few more days. It really could open very quickly.

541
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: I told them at bring who you want. We have

542
00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,879
Speaker 1: three people. You can ideally bring three, but you can

543
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,240
Speaker 1: bring six, you can bring nine, you can bring twelve,

544
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:28,839
Speaker 1: and they're going to be working over the weekend. I

545
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: think it may have been somewhat contentious, but I think

546
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,400
Speaker 1: it was very productive. I have to say that, and

547
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: I think he said that too. All right. That was

548
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:39,040
Speaker 1: the President in the Rose Garden after meeting with Democratic leaders,

549
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: day fourteen of the government partial shutdown continues and the

550
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Speaker 1: battle over the border funding as well. Nancy Pelosi thinking

551
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 1: she's being really, really, really strong. I'll give him a penny.

552
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: You're not getting your wall, miss the president, all right,

553
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 1: So she's dug in the President also saying that he

554
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:04,120
Speaker 1: might declare national security emergency down to the border. And

555
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 1: you know the behavior of Pelosi in Schumer and their

556
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: need now to tend to the radical element that has

557
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:18,600
Speaker 1: been elected in you know, in the Congress as a

558
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 1: real problem for them. That's a very big problem. And

559
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 1: the funny thing is is all these Democrats we've played

560
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 1: for you many times or on record saying that they

561
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: want the border wall. If you go back to the

562
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 1: end of last year, what do you say to the

563
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: twelve Americans that were killed by illegal immigrants in twenty

564
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: eighteen alone, Or what do you say to the family

565
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:47,839
Speaker 1: of officer saying a legal immigrant who was a five

566
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 1: month old son that will never see his father again,

567
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: Or what do you say to the families that have

568
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 1: been ravaged by the opioid epidemic and heroin addictions that

569
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:01,239
Speaker 1: have been going on, and fentanyl problems, ninety percent of

570
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:04,880
Speaker 1: which is coming across our southern border. What do you

571
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:08,720
Speaker 1: say about those people that you know, the government aiding

572
00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: and abetting further criminality when illegal immigrants create crimes and

573
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 1: then they're protected by so called sanctuary cities and states

574
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 1: that refuse to work with ice and follow the legal

575
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: process and the national immigration laws, and that is to

576
00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: hand them over to officials when their time is served

577
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 1: in jail for whatever local crimes they may have committed,

578
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:36,279
Speaker 1: sometimes violence, sometimes not, and that these people then go

579
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 1: on to commit other crimes, which seems to be the case,

580
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 1: and an officers saying, and the person this individuals involved

581
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 1: in the criminal justice system. You know, what do we say?

582
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: Democrats were never going to identify what they really wanted

583
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: to run on. Well, now they're identifying it. They've already

584
00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:57,240
Speaker 1: filed articles of impeachment. They want endless investigations. Now they're

585
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: trying to pass a law. They get Trump's tax returns

586
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 1: ten years and they're going into his family foundation. Then

587
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: they're going to stay on Russia, you know, add nauseam

588
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,600
Speaker 1: for the next fifty years if they can. It's nothing

589
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 1: that they're proposing that would benefit the American people. They

590
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 1: want to get rid of the electoral college. They want

591
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: to make DC another state that they're proposing a Casio

592
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: tz she's talking about a seventy percent federal income tax rate.

593
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you live in California New York,

594
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: that's eighty five percent. That's eighty five cents of every dollar.

595
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is, we have a crisis at

596
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,280
Speaker 1: our border. It's not the majority of people that crossed

597
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: the border. Many of them risked everything. They risk their lives.

598
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,520
Speaker 1: They crossed the border in the hopes of a better

599
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:49,080
Speaker 1: life for them, their family, their children. But in light

600
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: of the drugs that have been crossing the border, infiltrating

601
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: small towns in big cities across America, in spite of

602
00:37:56,080 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: the human trafficking aspects, in spite of terrorists even being arrested,

603
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 1: and people with terrorist ties being arrested working their way

604
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: in with the general population of people that just want

605
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: a better life. Well, that's a threat to every American

606
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,640
Speaker 1: and that is a national security issue, as is gang

607
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 1: members and cartel members that have been literally profiting off

608
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:26,440
Speaker 1: the demise of many Americans by bringing their drugs and

609
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:32,760
Speaker 1: expanding it through every part of the country. And wall's work.

610
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 1: Barriers work where we put them up, they're effective anyway.

611
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 1: Joining us now, I'm glad you're with us. Our two

612
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: eight hundred nine for one. Shaun is a number is

613
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 1: Former Director of ICE Tom Holman is with us. How

614
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: are you, sir? Well, I'm a little scared now listen

615
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,240
Speaker 1: to you for last ten minutes. I think it's incredible

616
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:53,880
Speaker 1: when you think about what's going on in this country.

617
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 1: You know, I hope your listeners are listening. I hope

618
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 1: they start making phone calls. Well, I mean I hope

619
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,120
Speaker 1: they start making phone calls. I know that we're going

620
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: to talk to Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows later in

621
00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: the program today, and they put out a new ad.

622
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: Will play that for people, but they want the country

623
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: to know. The amazing thing, though, Tom, is that the

624
00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: Democrats that I'm mentioning, that would be Obama, that would

625
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 1: be Hillary, that'd be Chuck Schumer, Durban others, they sounded

626
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: more like Trump and their desire to build a wall

627
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,920
Speaker 1: than Trump does. So it seems the only reason that

628
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: they're against it now is because they don't want the

629
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: credit going to the president. I guess. I mean, I

630
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: can't think of any other reason. Absolutely, that is absolutely

631
00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: you are accurate. That's what I've been saying for a

632
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,840
Speaker 1: few weeks. This isn't about order security. This is about

633
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,640
Speaker 1: not giving this president a win for her first year.

634
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: Under the first year of the President Trump and I

635
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,840
Speaker 1: was Director of Vice illegal immigration on the Southwest borders

636
00:39:50,840 --> 00:39:54,319
Speaker 1: at a forty five year law. That's not coincidence. That's

637
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 1: because he sent a strong message he wanted to forced

638
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,600
Speaker 1: laws and on build a wall. It wasn't until they

639
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: became aware. While the Democrat it's not gonna let them

640
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: build water, they don't push back on it. They sent

641
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: Democrats want to expand to sanctuary cities. The Democrats want

642
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 1: to abolish ice when they hear all this stuff that

643
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: in places more people to come to this country, which

644
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: she said at bank rolls crimal organizations, and bank rolls

645
00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:17,840
Speaker 1: are criminal cartels. If we're going to save lives and

646
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: we're going to prevent again, let's assume for a minute

647
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: that ninety nine percent of the people that want to

648
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,839
Speaker 1: cross into the country illegally or people that just want

649
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: a better life, they don't want to go through the

650
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:32,880
Speaker 1: legal process. Let's assume it's but the other one percent

651
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:38,000
Speaker 1: of the drug cartels, the ms at thirteen gangs, the

652
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: people that have terror related ties, the traffickers and human traffickers,

653
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 1: drug traffickers. Well, you know, we keep losing Americans. Some

654
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 1: Americans are dying as a result of open borders. And

655
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 1: I think there are some things tom and life that

656
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: are worth fighting for, and I think this is one

657
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: of them. And I think it's a big reason why

658
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:03,279
Speaker 1: the president got elected. And I think the President needs

659
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,160
Speaker 1: to hold firm here and guarantee that he gets that money.

660
00:41:06,200 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 1: Now he's saying he can get in other ways if

661
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: he declares a national emergency. But then I think we

662
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,520
Speaker 1: have a legal court battle, and I think Congress should

663
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:18,880
Speaker 1: step up and do what's in the national interest, national

664
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: security interests of the United States. Absolutely. I talked to

665
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,759
Speaker 1: the President I don't know about six days ago, and

666
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: he's I think he's going to stick by his guns.

667
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: And the other night on Fox or New shows. On

668
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 1: the other night, I preaud with the President what he

669
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: needs to do. Sean, he needs to go around Nancy

670
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: and Chuck at this point and speak directly to the

671
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: American people. The Secretary try to give them a briefing

672
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: a few days ago, and what exactly the numbers look like,

673
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,520
Speaker 1: Secretary Nielsens are coming across the border, how many King members,

674
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: Secretary Nielsen the President, I'll have a primetime news conference

675
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,640
Speaker 1: with America. Put those charts up there, saying, okay, MS

676
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 1: thirteen arrest on the sun board have double which they

677
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:02,000
Speaker 1: have a one hundred and eighty three percent of opioids

678
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 1: a fat knock that is that seventy two thousand people

679
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 1: type this year from is increase one hundred and eighty

680
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,960
Speaker 1: three percent. They rest over seven thousand people coming across

681
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 1: the board. They're already criminals, hundreds of people that are

682
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 1: known suspected terrorists. Put the charts out there and showing

683
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 1: the American people what really going on Southwest board. Then

684
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: the second part show them the charts or here's how

685
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: many people enter to Yuma without offense and here's a

686
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: drafted declinans we put offense up to it for San

687
00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 1: Diego Yuma, l Passo. Show the American people that the

688
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:32,360
Speaker 1: Democrats were lying to you. There is disease come across

689
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 1: the border. There's criminals coming across that border. And every

690
00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 1: place they built a barrier, it has worked. Because the

691
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:40,560
Speaker 1: Democrats like saying they're ineffective, they're in moral It works

692
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: one percent of time wherever they built it in the disease,

693
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: just disease. Our director of we got with hundreds of

694
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: TB cases. There's one case I remember, Sean, there's there's

695
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 1: an adult with TV it was drug resistant. We spent

696
00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,400
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of dollars kept in detained for a

697
00:42:57,480 --> 00:42:59,799
Speaker 1: month at a time, working with the CDC and the

698
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: Department of Health trying to find out how to treat

699
00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,439
Speaker 1: this gentleman. Now what would have happened if he would

700
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,200
Speaker 1: have got out into society. And so those that get

701
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: around the border troll, who steak by the bordershrop border troll.

702
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: There is no wall, that's what's coming into this country.

703
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,680
Speaker 1: So I hope the president speaks to American people, gives

704
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: them the truth and numbers on the border becauld. I

705
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: even think a lot of Democrat voters don't they really

706
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: know what's going on there and they can get the

707
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 1: truth from disadministration. I think even may are going to

708
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:29,239
Speaker 1: be concerned what's going on that border, and hopefully they

709
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 1: will call the representative to say get that border secure.

710
00:43:33,160 --> 00:43:36,720
Speaker 1: Let me ask you about because we've now seen recent

711
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:39,879
Speaker 1: incidents wondering the caravan and one on New Year's Eve

712
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: where ICE agents were being pelted with rocks and bottles

713
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: and people trying to break down the wall to get

714
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: into the country illegally. And you had a you were

715
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 1: being grilled by Senator Kamala Harris of California on the issue,

716
00:43:57,000 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 1: and she tried to say that there's a perception problem

717
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 1: them with Ice being akin to the kool Klux Klan.

718
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:07,080
Speaker 1: Let me play it for you. The clan was what

719
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:11,439
Speaker 1: we would call today a domestic terrorist group. Why why

720
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 1: why would we call them domestic terrorist group? Because they

721
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: tried to use fear and force to change political environment?

722
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,919
Speaker 1: And what was the motivation for the use of fear

723
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: enforce based on race and ethnicity? Right? Are you aware

724
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: of the perception of many about how the power and

725
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 1: the discretion at ICE is being used to enforce the laws?

726
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,480
Speaker 1: And do you see any parallels. I do not see

727
00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 1: any parallels between I'm talking about and agents. I'm talking

728
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,440
Speaker 1: about perception. I do not see a parallel between what

729
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 1: is constitutionally mandated as as it relates to enforcing the law.

730
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:52,280
Speaker 1: Are you aware that there's a perception Are you aware

731
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: that there's a perception ICE in the same category as

732
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: the KKK. Is that where you're asking me, I don't

733
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 1: even know what to say. Your your agents put their

734
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 1: lives on the line enforce the laws, and she's she's

735
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,680
Speaker 1: saying that there's a perception between ICE enforcing our nation's

736
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 1: laws on anybody who's breaking them with the Ku Klux Klan.

737
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: What were you thinking? Well, look, when I saw that

738
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 1: the bottom line is if there's a bad perception, there's

739
00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 1: a perception being pushed by the Democratic leadership, is being

740
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,160
Speaker 1: pushed by the left media. Because all ICES does every

741
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:32,560
Speaker 1: day the minimum of ICE. They protect, They put themselves

742
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,440
Speaker 1: in harm's way to enforce the laws enacted by Congress.

743
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: So if ICE is doing a wrong thing, then if

744
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: the Congress through the wrong thing when they enacted these laws,

745
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: I USU isn't making this stuff up. ICE is enforcing

746
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 1: the laws enacted by Congress. But what her You gotta

747
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: remember the things she said about ICE, Nancy Close. She

748
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: made a comment on ours director saying that ICE agents

749
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 1: raw terro writing innocent immigrant communities. I used, doesn't arrest

750
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: innocent people. I used to arrest people who violate the

751
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: laws of this country. So the perception they want to

752
00:46:00,320 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 1: push out there is that ICE is a deportation for us.

753
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 1: They're they're separating families all over the nation. All you

754
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 1: gotta do is look at this year's numbers. ICE released

755
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,080
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago eighty seven. If everybody ICE arrested

756
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 1: in the interior United States had a criminal convisition or

757
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:21,719
Speaker 1: painting criminal charges, that's nine out every ten. That's prioritization.

758
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 1: But did you never hear the last talking about that?

759
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: So I said the other day, I arrested in the

760
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:28,640
Speaker 1: in the United States last year one hundred and thirty

761
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,399
Speaker 1: eight thousand criminals. I want you to hold that thought

762
00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: there and wanted to give them work. All right, Tom

763
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: Holman is with us, former director of ICE. I just

764
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: want you to give the numbers so people understand what

765
00:46:40,160 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: we're talking about it and how many people were talking about.

766
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: Tom Holman is the former director of ICE. I just

767
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 1: spout the numbers. Let people understand what we're talking about. Drugs,

768
00:46:53,440 --> 00:47:00,040
Speaker 1: arrests of gang members and cartel members, and firearms and

769
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,400
Speaker 1: potential alleged terrorists or people would ties the terrorists. What

770
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 1: do we got coming across the border, not the ninety

771
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: eight percent that want a better life. Look if we

772
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: look at look with the boer Chrochs recently year stats

773
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: the rest of the MS thirteen members double. If you

774
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: look at the criminals that now Boracho arrested almost seven

775
00:47:19,239 --> 00:47:21,680
Speaker 1: and legal aliens tower, they were already criminals. You already

776
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: had serious criminal convictions and that's just once they caught.

777
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:26,480
Speaker 1: We don't how many entered. And if you look at

778
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: you know fentanale. We know that fentanale is a dangerous

779
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: issue in this country. There's seventy two thousand overdose deaths

780
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,879
Speaker 1: last year. The seizure of fentanale's double between the ports

781
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,080
Speaker 1: of entry. So it's not just about illeal immigration, it's

782
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 1: about it's about drugs. And to put this perspective, Ice

783
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 1: this year arrested one hundred and thirty eight thousand illegal

784
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 1: aliens that were either had already had a criminal conviction

785
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 1: or painting series charges. That's one hundred and thirty eight

786
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,520
Speaker 1: thousand people. They just didn't miraculously a peer here in

787
00:47:58,600 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 1: Nited States. They enter the country illegally, and you said

788
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: it yourself, And we don't even know what that real

789
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 1: number is going to be because when Saint Stuary City started,

790
00:48:07,520 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: Ice was kicked out jails York, kicked out of Alida County,

791
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,920
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Rikers Island, for God's sakes, where we used

792
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 1: to wrest a lot of dangerous illegal aliens that were

793
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 1: painting criminal charges. But when they kicked Ice out of

794
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: the jails, now Ice, when they run fingerprint, if you

795
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: get arrested, they run your finger springer. Princes who Ncica

796
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 1: pounces against the HS databases and Ice nil up there

797
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: in the jail, so we send a detainer. But when

798
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: Ice used to be in the jails, we would identify

799
00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: those foreign born nationals. They had no fingerprint records, so

800
00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:37,719
Speaker 1: they can be fingered from Now legally, you can't do that.

801
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:42,399
Speaker 1: You can't do that in California, can you. No, We've

802
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:44,719
Speaker 1: been kicked out of California jails. Look, we got kicked

803
00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: out of Rikers Island jail in New York City, but

804
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 1: California has been part of the worst they have. No

805
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: California Sheriff's Association joined me and asking Governor Brown not

806
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:55,480
Speaker 1: to find the Saint Stuary lob but he did it

807
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: anyw Well, we heard, but you heard from the sheriff

808
00:48:57,760 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: out where officers sing was killed, and he said, thank

809
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:06,080
Speaker 1: Stuary City laws helped this unfortunately tragedy murder. All right,

810
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:26,360
Speaker 1: thank you, Tom Holman. More Hannity, last Big Government. This

811
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: is the Sean Hannity Show, All right, twenty five now

812
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: until the top of the hour. Toll free telephone numbers

813
00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 1: eight hundred and nine for one Sean. There are things

814
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:41,960
Speaker 1: that are worth fighting for. There are battles worth worth

815
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: engaging in I don't know why there is this mysterious

816
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: fear and reluctance and resistance and concern and worry and

817
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: anxiety among Republicans when they take a stand for speci

818
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: cific promises they have made, because I think it's just

819
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 1: the opposite will happen what they think is gonna happen. Well,

820
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: we can't shut down the government. We're gonna be blamed

821
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:15,439
Speaker 1: for it. Well, they send that in twenty thirteen going

822
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: into twenty fourteen when Ted Cruz took a stand on

823
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,120
Speaker 1: Obamacare and said, well, we have the power of the

824
00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 1: purse constitutionally, and we can shut down. We could literally

825
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: defund Obamacare if only the Republicans had the spine in

826
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 1: a backbone to fight to keep that promise. Now, we

827
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 1: made progress or in the negotiations on the President's tax

828
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: cut bill, and we got rid of the individual mandate.

829
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: And that's a good start because that takes out a

830
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,799
Speaker 1: big chunk or big heart of the Obamacare premise, which

831
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,919
Speaker 1: was keep your doctor, keep your plan, and save less.

832
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: But there is a real fear. I don't know why

833
00:50:54,520 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: politicians don't associate keeping a promise, fighting for what you

834
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:04,480
Speaker 1: said you would do, and the electoral success that would

835
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 1: inevitably follow now and by the way, maybe you do

836
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,319
Speaker 1: lose your job. Is it worth that much to you

837
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: that you're willing to sell out compromise? Does the word congressman, senator,

838
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: governor is it that important to you? You know, this

839
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 1: is not a complicated issue when it comes to the border.

840
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:28,840
Speaker 1: It really is not. And what you're watching President Trump

841
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:31,759
Speaker 1: is something that we don't see in a lot of

842
00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:37,840
Speaker 1: politicians I'm watching. I don't tweet and do my Instagram

843
00:51:37,960 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: or my Facebook, but I'm very aware of what is

844
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 1: in my timelines, and I'm very aware when people call me,

845
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:48,000
Speaker 1: and I'm very aware when I meet people, and I'm

846
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 1: very in tune to what people are saying and thinking.

847
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: And everybody that I know that's a conservative is watching

848
00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 1: the president in this fight, and they're saying, keep it up,

849
00:51:56,600 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: don't give in. They don't want people to give it

850
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: because we've had this problem forever. It's obvious the Democrats

851
00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:09,240
Speaker 1: have supported all of this five years ago. Are only

852
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 1: playing politics because they don't want the President to get

853
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:16,320
Speaker 1: the win. It's should it be about winning and losing

854
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:20,359
Speaker 1: Republican Democrat, conservative liberal, or should it be about well,

855
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 1: what is in the best interests of the American people.

856
00:52:23,719 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 1: And this is what I keep telling you. I mean,

857
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, we've got new Congress members that are saying

858
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,680
Speaker 1: that Orana impetue the m effort, talking about the President

859
00:52:32,120 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: and advocating openly for a seventy percent federal income tax.

860
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,480
Speaker 1: They want their crumbs back, and then they want a

861
00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: hell of a lot more. They want full redistribution and

862
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,240
Speaker 1: medicare for all. And you know, we can never afford

863
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 1: the things that they want. A promise, just like that,

864
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,480
Speaker 1: the promise of Obamacare was never going to be kept.

865
00:52:51,520 --> 00:52:54,319
Speaker 1: You know, it's a winning issue to say that we

866
00:52:54,360 --> 00:53:01,160
Speaker 1: want to stop the drug trafficking, the human trafficking, the

867
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: violence at our borders, that we want control of our borders.

868
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: We want legal immigration, we want to be able to

869
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: vet people to know they're not associated with violent gangs

870
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: or even worse, terrorist groups. We are sympathetic to people

871
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: that want what we probably all take advantage of and

872
00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: maybe don't give enough thanks for, and that is the

873
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:28,839
Speaker 1: liberty and the freedom to pursue our happiness and our

874
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: dreams and our God given talents. I mean, stopping drugs,

875
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 1: human trafficking, gang members, potential terrorists from entering the country

876
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,279
Speaker 1: is a pretty strong hand from my perspective, and with

877
00:53:40,400 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 1: the death of officers seeing it just highlights he's just

878
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:47,080
Speaker 1: the latest person to die in part, as the sheriff

879
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 1: out there said, because of sanctuary policies where ICE is

880
00:53:51,680 --> 00:53:58,320
Speaker 1: not allowed to go into and to identify those the

881
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 1: illegal immigrants that had commits at other crimes, some violent

882
00:54:02,239 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: and say enough is enough, you're going back. You're deported

883
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 1: after you serve your sentence. How many more innocent people

884
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 1: have to die before some of these politicians are willing

885
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: to protect the border. We have this insidious, evil opioid

886
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 1: crisis in the country all over the place. One hundred

887
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 1: and seventy two people are dying a day. How many

888
00:54:23,600 --> 00:54:26,120
Speaker 1: more people have to die of a drug overdose when

889
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:30,120
Speaker 1: ninety percent of the heroine which is used to replace

890
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:34,920
Speaker 1: the purkose at, the OxyContin and the vicodin that people

891
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: get addicted to. You know, how many people have to

892
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: die before we take notice that maybe we ought to

893
00:54:40,239 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: secure the border for that reason and prevent these drug

894
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: cartels from targeting every small town in big city in

895
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: the country. How many more people with terroritized are we

896
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: going to catch at the border, and even worse, how

897
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: many get through because we've caught people with terrortize and

898
00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:02,760
Speaker 1: violent gang member tie. I've been down there thirteen times.

899
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 1: What about fair wages and saving American jobs? You know,

900
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 1: we had great job numbers today, but and for the

901
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,880
Speaker 1: first time in over a decade, you know, we've seen

902
00:55:14,040 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: rising wages for the middle class in America at a

903
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:20,759
Speaker 1: significant rate. President was touting that today you'll never get

904
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 1: any of the success from the corrupt media. That even

905
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 1: it was funny listening to you know, Joel Abramson, former

906
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:33,520
Speaker 1: New York Times executive editor, saying that, you know, basically

907
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: her newspaper and their so called news coverage is biased

908
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: against the president. I mean, I can go through a

909
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,920
Speaker 1: whole series of stuff going on over at fake news

910
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: CNN suggesting they're actually blaming Trump for illegals attacking border

911
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 1: patrol agents. Why because they didn't let them in and

912
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 1: they didn't open the borders. You know where CNN's Nina

913
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 1: Turner saying that Republicans need to go change the president's diapers.

914
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: This this, this is news in America. There is no

915
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 1: news there. We have an information crisis, all right. I

916
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: want to get to our busy telephones. Now this is

917
00:56:09,160 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 1: who I think it is, right, Linda on my Fallow

918
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 1: all right, so a distant relative of mine. If you've

919
00:56:16,080 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 1: ever heard me talk about my family, I've said my

920
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 1: mom was worked in a prison, my dad was a

921
00:56:21,400 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 1: family corprobation guy, and I've talked many times how I

922
00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,719
Speaker 1: stand on the shoulders of my all four my grandparents

923
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: because they came to this country with little or norm money. Legally,

924
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: by the way, I have the papers through Ellis Island.

925
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 1: And my grandfather's name was Cornelius Flynn and his brother's

926
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: name was David Flynn. And while many members and extended

927
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 1: family members became cops and worked in law enforcement to two,

928
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: there were two members that made it to the upper

929
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,560
Speaker 1: echelon of the FBI, and I think this is one

930
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: of them. On my newsmaker line, is this Bill? Is

931
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:58,160
Speaker 1: that Bill Flynn? Is this you less? My brother Pat

932
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 1: dashed away in twenty twelve. You're probably hurting the family

933
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: I did. But I'm so sorry to hear that. You

934
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: You know that, especially your mom and dad. I used

935
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: to make your mom gin and tonics, right, that was

936
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,840
Speaker 1: her favorite drink? Yes, indeed, and you can imitate my

937
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,800
Speaker 1: father's smoking all the time. Yeah, because your father was smoking,

938
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 1: he gived he pucker his lips, he'll and he'd smoke

939
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:26,680
Speaker 1: the pipe. Tell me how he gave up smoking, you know. Um, well,

940
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 1: let me tell you. You know, when I think back

941
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: to those days and people like your dad, your grand

942
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:36,000
Speaker 1: your dad, and my my grandfather and his brother, your

943
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:40,680
Speaker 1: your father, I mean, these were incredibly brave people that literally,

944
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, slaved away their entire adult lives so we

945
00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,160
Speaker 1: could have a better life. You know, Seuan, it's funny

946
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,160
Speaker 1: you say, I of course I feel that way too.

947
00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,720
Speaker 1: But your mother was something special too. It was one number.

948
00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 1: I really admired her. He's tough as nails, except she

949
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 1: couldn't control me. That was I was the biggest disappointment

950
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:03,000
Speaker 1: in her life. You know what shot I Well, you

951
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: were a little lever. Why did we call your your

952
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:13,840
Speaker 1: mom birdie? I'm trying to remember. Why did we say that? Yeah? Yeah,

953
00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: her name was Bridget and they would they'd call it Brady,

954
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: but some people didn't get the Brady pot right and

955
00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,040
Speaker 1: they'd call it Birdie by mistake, you know, So it

956
00:58:22,200 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: was almost a joke in the family. When you wanted

957
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: to tease a you'd call him Burdy. You know, I'm

958
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 1: so glad you called because you know, I've been in

959
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,680
Speaker 1: the forefront on this program of doing something that I

960
00:58:31,760 --> 00:58:36,240
Speaker 1: find is tasteful. Um because and you know my family,

961
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 1: you know our background, and I mean it, I mean

962
00:58:39,240 --> 00:58:43,480
Speaker 1: I got this. You you were years ago. I remember

963
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:46,000
Speaker 1: you'd have you look like a hippie with long hair

964
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:49,720
Speaker 1: because of your job with the FBI. And I did, yes, yes,

965
00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:53,440
Speaker 1: and you and you very courageously. We did infiltrations and

966
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,800
Speaker 1: and did really tough, dangerous work. And I've had to

967
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 1: now go over what I think is is some really

968
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,400
Speaker 1: only at the upper echel and I don't talk about

969
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 1: rank and file special agents, the guys in the field offices,

970
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,200
Speaker 1: but some top guys at the FBI did things that

971
00:59:10,240 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 1: were horrible. And it breaks my heart because of my

972
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 1: deep respect, in part because of you and your brother

973
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 1: and my whole family for law enforcement. It is in

974
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:25,439
Speaker 1: our DNA respect and be thankful for law enforcement. Absolutely sure.

975
00:59:25,560 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: Let me say my vintage. I've worked for you know,

976
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: Jim Calstrom, I love him, love him. Yeah, yeah, Well

977
00:59:33,720 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 1: I worked for Jim for about ten years, so I'm

978
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:38,320
Speaker 1: over that vintage I've been out of there twenty years,

979
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 1: but I can honestly tell you I don't know anybody

980
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: in my vintage who who does not understand exactly what

981
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: you said. And they are absolutely disgusted by what's going

982
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 1: on with the Comy era people. It's just sickening to us.

983
00:59:53,280 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: And I don't understand why they haven't reached back at

984
00:59:56,240 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 1: some point and really go in and special Prosecute will

985
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,800
Speaker 1: get a good look at what went on under call

986
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:06,840
Speaker 1: me in the Justice Department. They totally absolutely embarrassed the bureau.

987
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: Could you imagine. I'll think about this and think of

988
01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:13,000
Speaker 1: your years in the FBI, UM, and I'm so glad

989
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 1: you called the program. I'm going to get your numbers,

990
01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 1: and I want to reconnect with you because I have

991
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: a lot of stories to tell about your dad and

992
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 1: mom that are pretty funny. But you and Jim Calstrom's

993
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:26,320
Speaker 1: a dear friend and I love him, and he's been

994
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:29,960
Speaker 1: on the program programs a lot. And I will tell you,

995
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean imagine getting a warrant and not verifying or

996
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:40,640
Speaker 1: corroborating allegations and not telling a FISA court judge. Oh,

997
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:43,800
Speaker 1: the opposition party paid for it, and we didn't verify it,

998
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,960
Speaker 1: but we're signing our name to it that It blows

999
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 1: my mind that that could happen in this country. It's

1000
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,000
Speaker 1: totally unacceptable. And then they take that thing and they

1001
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 1: use it as a weapon against President Trump during the election,

1002
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 1: and when that doesn't work out, then it is the

1003
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,200
Speaker 1: information they got from it took away after him when

1004
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 1: he's the president. It's at third it's criminal why these

1005
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,880
Speaker 1: people are getting away with it makes the rest of

1006
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,440
Speaker 1: us guys out there the old time is shit around

1007
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: scratching out head saying what's going on? You know? You know,

1008
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: I have friends of mine today that are in the FBI,

1009
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 1: and they actually say things like, we feel embarrassed, And

1010
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 1: I keep telling them, you'd have no reason to be

1011
01:01:24,720 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: embarrassed because you didn't do any of these things. And

1012
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 1: you every single law enforcement person in our extended family,

1013
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 1: including you and your brother when you served in the

1014
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: FBI or I think you remember the Kerwins too, right,

1015
01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:42,400
Speaker 1: and my cousin Billy and Maureen, I mean they were them.

1016
01:01:42,400 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: I didn't know them personally, but I knew who they were.

1017
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: The greatest gift I ever got was a cop had

1018
01:01:47,280 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 1: a Billy club, handcuffs and you know, when I was

1019
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: five years old, I thought I was a cop. I

1020
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: really believed it. I have used to arrest with everyone

1021
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 1: on the family. I'm surprised I didn't put the cuffs

1022
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,920
Speaker 1: on you. And you know, there's a picture. There's a

1023
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:00,680
Speaker 1: picture of you and that thing floating around somewhere. No

1024
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: way real. No. By the way, there's no posting any

1025
01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: pictures by family members. It's a rule. Yeah, well, you

1026
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:11,680
Speaker 1: don't want that thing online. Listen. I don't want I

1027
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:14,440
Speaker 1: don't want a lot of things online about my past.

1028
01:02:14,680 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: So tell me, what are you doing now after all

1029
01:02:16,360 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 1: those years you served in the FBI, And how's your

1030
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 1: family doing? How's everybody doing? Everybody's fine. My wife is

1031
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 1: doing terrific, Linda. When I got out of the FBI,

1032
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 1: had like three careers. I got involved with the anti

1033
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 1: piracy stuff for the recording industry. A friend of mine

1034
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 1: and I had another friend of mine worked for Chubb

1035
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,360
Speaker 1: Insurance and I used to do a little stuff for them.

1036
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 1: And then I got involved in an anti money laundering

1037
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: compliance situation. And I don't know how much you're familiar

1038
01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 1: with that, but some of these financial institutions got got

1039
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 1: themselves in trouble for not doing correct vetting of different things,

1040
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:53,960
Speaker 1: so they'd have to bring in companies to come in

1041
01:02:54,080 --> 01:02:56,680
Speaker 1: like myself being hired in, and go in and go

1042
01:02:56,720 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 1: through the money laundering stuff to make sure that they're

1043
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: up to snuff and find out just how corrupt they

1044
01:03:02,800 --> 01:03:05,240
Speaker 1: were or weren't, you know, but definitely was doing. But

1045
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:07,440
Speaker 1: you know I'm old now, you know. So I'm just

1046
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 1: I got my my my feet up and enjoying life, Sean,

1047
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 1: and a part of which is you every day. And

1048
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: the only other person was a bigger fan than me

1049
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: was my brother Path. You know, it's funny. Have you

1050
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:23,880
Speaker 1: heard me say that I have members of my family

1051
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 1: and the FBI that were considered deity. You knew I

1052
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:29,560
Speaker 1: was talking about you, right, Yeah? I did, And I

1053
01:03:29,560 --> 01:03:32,320
Speaker 1: swear every time you did it, I get it absolutely

1054
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 1: tickled inside. I really, I really am. And continue on,

1055
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:38,720
Speaker 1: feel free to throw my name and if you're like too,

1056
01:03:38,840 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 1: but I'd be glad. I sit there holding hands smiling

1057
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 1: when when I hear that stuff, and I think Calstrom's

1058
01:03:44,320 --> 01:03:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna get a big surprise when he realizes I'm calling

1059
01:03:47,520 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: Callstrom tonight. I'm gonna give him a buzz and tell

1060
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: him by the way you know my buddy, You know,

1061
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 1: your buddy, Bill Flynn is a close relative. Listen. I

1062
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 1: have really fond memories your your father and my grandfather.

1063
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 1: They were brothers, and they came to this country. And

1064
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: I got the documents. They had ten dollars in their pocket,

1065
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: that's it. And they you know, they lived through the depression.

1066
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 1: They never had much of anything. It was a big

1067
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 1: deal for them to even get a decent apartment in

1068
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,000
Speaker 1: a nice place for us, for us, and raised us

1069
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,200
Speaker 1: with I think the best value. So many of our

1070

Speaker 1: So well, Francis was a cop as well, you know,

1079
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:50,880

1084
01:05:06,160 --> 01:05:08,680
Speaker 1: pretty young age. He died at forty eight. I think

Speaker 1: he was a cop for a short period of time.

1086
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:12,400

01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 1: family went through a lot of tragedy at the time.
