WEBVTT - Victory over Tehran 0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.080 To Sean Hannity's show Toll Free this Monday. It's eight 0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:05.640 hundred and nine point one Sean, if you want to 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.400 be a part of the program. One of the things 0:00:09.520 --> 0:00:13.239 I love about the long term friendship that I've had 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:16.360 with New King Rich is in his heart of hearts, 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:21.160 he's not a politician, he's a historian, he's a professor, 0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:26.960 and he just brings a perspective to everything that's going 0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.520 on that nobody else usually thinks of, which makes him 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:33.200 special and unique in his own way. And he actually 0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:36.920 wrote this about what's going on as it relates to Iran, 0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.879 and I think it's worth reading it to you and 0:00:39.920 --> 0:00:43.080 then having him expand on it and explain it more detail. 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:47.240 He said, I pose the opposite argument. And he's talking 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:51.040 about the commentators, the experts that I've explanations as to 0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.599 why President Trump should end the war in Iran as 0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:57.080 rapidly as possible. Although we all want a quick end 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.320 to it, nobody wants forever. War is this will not 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.360 be forever. This is going to come to a conclusion. 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.039 And he says, what if a nation which has been 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.800 chanting death to America for forty seven years actually means 0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.920 it what if that nation, assisted by its allies Communist 0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:18.680 China Vladimir Putin's Russia, was able to rebuild their missile 0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:23.600 and nuclear programs with remarkable speed. If the Iranian dictatorship 0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:26.840 survives after all the threatening talk and weeks of bombing, 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.120 it is going to consider itself the winner. Indeed, it 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.399 already is doing so with the recent two weeks cease fire. 0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:39.600 Leading Iranian figures are now describing how President Trump and 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:44.040 Israel should pay reparations to the Iranians for their destroyed 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:47.680 missile and nuclear programs, and except that they would be 0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.880 in control of the Straight of Hormuz, he writes. The 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:55.639 US based another emerging threat in nineteen forty Adolf Hitler 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.360 in Nazi Germany, which is which occupied much of Europe. 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.160 The Nazis were focused on trying to starve Great Britain 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:06.960 through submarine warfare and cutting off supplies, including food. It 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:10.160 was real opposition to the US getting too involved in 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:15.560 a European war. President Franklin D. Roosevelt FDR was faced 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.760 with the challenge of convincing Americans that the Nazi threat 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:24.400 was real so people would understand why we are responding aggressively, 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.200 and since the Nazis had been careful to focus on 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:32.160 the European opponents, not on America. Roosevelt needed an explanation 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:36.560 that would make sense, and in his September eleventh, nineteen 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:39.880 forty one fireside chat, he said, when you see a 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.880 rattlesnake poised to strike, you don't wait until he is 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:47.680 struck before you crush him. And it kind of sums 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.280 up where I have been in this. And this goes 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:54.960 to the impetus for the president after Steve Whitkoff, the 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:58.880 Mid East Donvoy, met with the Iranians before Epic Fury, 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:03.680 and they're bragging about their inalienable right to build out 0:03:04.080 --> 0:03:08.480 nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage, and bragging about 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.640 their four hundred and sixty kilograms of sixty percent enriched uranium, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:14.720 basically saying we're right on the verge of being in 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:18.799 a nuclear power, which is why the President I believe 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:22.480 acted and acted rightly. Some people still disagree. I don't 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:25.280 really have a lot of strong appetite to debate stupid 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:28.760 people because and I don't like I normally don't like 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:32.560 Nazi analogies. However, this is about as applicable a one 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:35.880 an instance in which I can think of one, and 0:03:36.120 --> 0:03:38.120 that is, if you had the chance to take out 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:44.320 Hitler earlier before he committed mass death, why wouldn't you 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:47.320 do it? Because that's what we're looking at here. As 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.840 far as I'm concerned, anyway, Former Speaker of the House, 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.840 best selling author Nukingrich is with us, sir, how are you? 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:58.280 I'm doing great, And as you know, you and I 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:01.600 aren't totally agreement on this. And I worry sometimes about 0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:04.560 the administration because I think every once in a while 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:09.680 they start looking for an easy solution rather than a 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:16.040 necessary solution. And I think any solution which does not 0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:22.240 replace the current dictatorship is simply pushing the problem down 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.400 the road. I wrote a recent piece about losing Chicago, 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:29.640 and my point was, you know, if we allow the 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:33.839 Iranians to build missiles, and we allow the Iranians to 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.479 build nuclear weapons, given that they clearly have not backed 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:45.279 off one inch on their death to America belief, someday 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.120 down the road will lose one or more American cities 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:51.479 and then all of our friends in the liberal media 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.200 will suddenly say who is to blame? And they'll all 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.240 be very worried, and they'll be looking for scapegoats. The 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:02.839 time to get this done is now, and I think 0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:07.680 Frank the administration ought to relax quld negotiating President again 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.200 and again go to the country and say, you know, 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.440 I'm not willing to risk Seattle. He could actually do 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.680 a tour of cities he doesn't want to lose and 0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:21.919 have rallies in favor of you know, Kansas City surviving. 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:30.880 American's appetite for conflict, or especially protracted conflicts is very 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:35.320 very low in light of what happened with Iraq and Afghanistan, 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:40.120 and I would argue understandably so. But however, the next 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:43.040 generation of weaponry is here. We've been able to do 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.200 a tremendous amount of damage to the Iranian regime and 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.440 we're now at the fourth and fifthier layer of leadership 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:55.000 there in a very short period of time, a very 0:05:55.040 --> 0:06:00.360 small window historically speaking, how do you define victory. 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:05.880 That the boom West, who's a great retired marine, great 0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:11.360 track records in places like Vietnam and Iraq go to 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.120 piece So six eight weeks ago saying we ought to 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:18.560 ship a million rifles to the Dissonance so that the 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:21.640 so may be the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that would be 0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:25.680 at risk. We should be. We should be aggressively actively 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.760 arming and training the Iranian people to liberate themselves. We 0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.799 should provide the air power to support them, we should 0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:37.040 provide intelligence to support them, and we should just make 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.800 very clear. I mean, the morning we say on equivocally 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:44.480 this what what George should Bush said about Saddam and 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:49.400 twin this will not stand. In the morning we say this, this, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.760 this regime is gone. We don't have to put a 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:57.400 single American soldier on the ground. We can train volunteers 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:02.400 from the Iranian diaspora, and we can train people inside Iran. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:07.600 We can arm them with weapons appropriate to light infantry 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.760 and to fighting in cities. And instead of having Iranian 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:15.800 Revolutionary Guard snipers killing women, which is what they were 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:19.040 doing when the women were rebubling about two years ago, 0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:22.320 they literally had snipers up on the top of buildings 0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:26.320 shooting down and targeting specific women and hitting them in 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:30.640 the head with snipe, with sniper boats, and all of 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.840 a sudden, in fact, it's Iranians who want to be free. 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:38.960 We have to sooner or later. Except transition will be chaotic, 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.880 it will not be obvious, it will not be easy. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.440 But we cannot allow this government. We have two rules here. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.480 You can't allow the current dictatorship to stay in power 0:07:48.720 --> 0:07:51.080 because it really does one believe in death to America. 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:54.160 And you do not want to commit American ground forces. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.200 This is a country twice the size of Texas, and 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.640 we do now when it's got ninety million people. We 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.200 don't want to be in the middle of it. We 0:08:03.320 --> 0:08:04.600 just want to replace the government. 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.640 Okay. So now a lot of people are going to say, 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.160 is this mission creep or like for example, I mean 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.360 we have Amedia problems, we have they do have the 0:08:15.880 --> 0:08:19.640 sixty percent enriched uranium. My understanding is there are a 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.840 number of options on the table. One would be to 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.440 retrieve it physically. That would mean troops on the ground, 0:08:24.720 --> 0:08:27.440 or you can intomb it and keep eyes on it 0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.360 and prevent them from ever having access to it, which 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.319 would be which would be probably a solid plan B. 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.559 The other issue, more immediate issue, is the straight of 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:38.160 Horn moves. 0:08:38.760 --> 0:08:38.880 Uh. 0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.160 The President now announced this naval blockade that's that's going 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.760 on there that that would probably be a stranglehold in 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.440 terms of the Iranians to have any ability to bring 0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.600 in any money. That's certainly not going to be helpful. 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:54.240 Towards their ability to main control of the regime, although 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:58.559 they've shown a willingness to gun down innocent civilians. So 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.520 so what what are the what are the the top 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:03.120 goals that we have to achieve. I agree with you 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.960 on arming the uranium people. My understanding is that's been 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:11.240 a heavier lift than people anticipated. So in the short term, 0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:13.440 what do we do in the short term and the 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:17.760 long term? And now we'd be negligent if we didn't 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.600 look at this a little bit through the prism of 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.080 we have a very important mid term election coming up, 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:28.640 and I think if peace and prosperity generally drive elections, 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:32.360 and you have oil that you know, trading at about 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:35.840 one hundred dollars a barrow at any given time, that 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.640 raises the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump, 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.640 I don't think that helps the economy in any way. 0:09:40.720 --> 0:09:42.520 So there are people that are going to take political 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.320 considerations into this in factor that in as well. What 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:46.559 do you say to them? 0:09:47.840 --> 0:09:51.840 I would say, one that we have an obligation to 0:09:51.920 --> 0:09:54.040 be able to get things out of the past the 0:09:54.080 --> 0:09:57.079 straight of her movies, and if we apply enough power 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.800 and enough course, we can do that. Some of them involved. 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.440 You know, well, we're going to have some losses. But 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:11.079 the fact is when the Iranians hit an American ship 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.880 worship under Ronald Reagan a one week later, we took 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.800 out half the Iranian navy in twenty four hours. And 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:21.720 that's sort of center signal. So you have to put 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.400 enough pressure to be able to fight your way through there, 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.240 to open it up, to get the oil flowing again, 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.960 and that means that you have to bomb and use 0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:36.320 missiles and again again and again against the Iranian coastline. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.440 You just have to do it. Churchill once said in war, 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:43.240 you have to do what is necessary. Saying you did 0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.560 your best isn't good enough. Did you do what was necessary? 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.520 And I think one, we have to open up the 0:10:49.559 --> 0:10:53.600 straight period. Two, I think we have to be quite 0:10:53.679 --> 0:10:59.080 clear this dictatorship is gone and nobody should be confused 0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.080 about that, and we should apply whatever level of power 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.839 that takes. And three I think one of them, so 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:08.920 you've got to get the oil flong enough to get 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:12.640 the price back down to a reasonable number. Then you 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.520 have to say you have to wage your campaign is 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:19.680 very straightforward. In September October, everybody willing to lose Chicago 0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:24.320 or Boston or New York. You should vote Democrat. Everybody 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:28.479 who believes saving and American city is worth doing what's necessary, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.760 you should vote Republican and we should basically make you 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:38.360 just lay us straight out. Go ahead. 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:42.439 What about the timeline is there? You don't have a timeline, 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:42.680 do you? 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.160 My timeline is as soon as possible. I mean, I look, 0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:51.760 I think it is. I don't understand how they could 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.080 have started this campaign without the Navy and moving all 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.840 the mind sweepers and all the things we needed in 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.400 order to fight our way out of the Gulf from 0:12:00.520 --> 0:12:04.400 day one. But they didn't. So now they've got to 0:12:05.440 --> 0:12:08.720 they've got to destroy all the small fast boats. They've 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.559 got to create you have, we have the potential, and 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.719 we do it occasionally to create twenty four hour surveillance 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.640 over an area, and anything that moves in that zone 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.559 we killed. And we tell them up front if you're 0:12:20.600 --> 0:12:23.480 in if you're in this zone, you're dad, So don't 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.440 be confused. And that means you're one guy with one 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.640 with one missile, we're killing you. That means you're a 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:34.560 small boat, we're killing you. Nothing Iranian will survive in 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:37.680 this zone. Now take a week or two of that, 0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:40.400 and you'll be able to have shipping come out of 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.280 then the price of oil will start to collapse. 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.320 All right, quick break more with former Speaker of the House, 0:12:46.360 --> 0:12:48.280 New King Rich on the other side. Than your calls 0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.960 are coming up eight hundred nine to four, Shawn, if 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:52.319 you want to be a part of the program as 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:57.960 we continue. We continue now with former Speaker of the House, 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:00.920 New King Rich eight hundred and shout us on number. 0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:03.200 We'll get to your calls coming up straight ahead. What 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.320 is your take on the lack of support of our 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:10.040 NATO so called allies and how does this play out 0:13:10.080 --> 0:13:13.400 over time? I would imagine NATO as it's currently configured 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.600 would no longer exist. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.200 Look, Lennon Johnson used to say, if you holp me 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.120 in on the landing, I want to be in on 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:24.080 the takeoff. We didn't consult them. We didn't We didn't 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.040 walk it through with them. We didn't say this, you know. 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.800 So suddenly we're in the middle of this fight. They 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:30.640 have no idea what our plan is, because we have 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:35.120 no idea what our plan is. And again I think 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:39.320 they have very limited resources. But but they're not the key. 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:44.000 We are. We over half the military budgets in the 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:49.320 world are the United States. We we have the most power, 0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:52.959 we have the most capacity, we have the greatest ability 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.880 to wise this fight. Let's just win it and then 0:13:56.920 --> 0:13:59.800 we can figure out a way to get our allies 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:03.760 side to be ald Mom was sure, but I if 0:14:03.760 --> 0:14:09.360 we're going to defend Chicago, San Francisco, in Atlanta based 0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:12.280 on how much the French are willing to do, we're 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:13.160 in a world of hurt. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.600 Well, they're not willing to do it. But I think 0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:21.640 our contribution to NATO should be significantly, if not completely, reduced. 0:14:21.680 --> 0:14:24.960 Then I think they're unreliable allies. We weren't asking for 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:29.360 much here, just just a little logistical sport support for 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:32.280 the Strait of Hormuz where they get their oil and 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:35.120 we don't get any of our oil. And I think 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:36.840 there should be a price to pay. This is the 0:14:36.920 --> 0:14:40.520 number one state sponsor of terror. Their ballistic missiles can 0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:44.200 hit Paris and London, they can't hit the continental United States. 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:48.880 Right well, I think, for example, the SPANISHI decider we 0:14:48.960 --> 0:14:52.640 can't use airfields we help build. Fine. I would find 0:14:52.680 --> 0:14:56.800 a way, for example, to suspend trade with Spain. I 0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:02.960 agreed there have to be direct immediate consequences, not just words. 0:15:03.320 --> 0:15:06.360 All right, Former Speaker of the House, New Kingridge, what 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:10.880 is our aim victory? You sound like Winston Churchill. Anyway, 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.640 we appreciate you being with us, Sir eight. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:36.120 When news breaks, you get the inside story that no 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.760 one else has and the behind the scenes chatter that 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:44.800 the mainstream media doesn't even know about. This is the 0:15:44.960 --> 0:15:46.760 Sean Hannity Show. 0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:50.400 All right, Eric Swowell, mister Feng Fang is in a 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:55.560 whole heap of trouble. Political journalist author Steve Tavares said 0:15:55.840 --> 0:16:00.240 in a social media post on Saturday that allegations around 0:16:00.400 --> 0:16:04.200 mister Fangfang and his behavior towards women were widely known 0:16:04.240 --> 0:16:08.800 among local officials shortly after he entered Congress in twenty thirteen, 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.800 and he said shortly after being elected to Congress in 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.560 twenty thirteen, his behavior towards women was well known by 0:16:15.600 --> 0:16:19.000 all levels of our local government and the Alameda County 0:16:19.040 --> 0:16:22.640 Democratic Party. I tried repeatedly to get the stories out. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:25.560 I can't force women to speak out when they chose, 0:16:26.000 --> 0:16:28.960 when they choose not to. I didn't push. I also 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.840 knew that Swalwell was known to threaten litigation anyway He 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:37.440 now has dropped his gubernatorial bid because as all of 0:16:37.440 --> 0:16:43.480 these sexual misconduct allegations are swirling and he's facing an 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:48.720 expulsion effort in the House of Representatives. His staffers apparently 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.960 are horrified by the rape allegations, calling for Americans to 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.640 stand with his accusers. The Manhattan DA is now launching 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:02.400 a sexual assault probe against Swalwell. More women have come 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.760 forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. I mean, this 0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:10.399 is going downhill very fast for mister fang Fang, and 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:12.960 my understanding is at some point there may be a 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:17.120 declassification of the records involving him. I mean, this guy 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.320 wanted to quote the Epstein files, but there might be 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.600 a release of the information as it relates to him 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:28.800 and fang Fang his former girlfriend. Anyway, here is mister 0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:33.800 fang Fang, while a former staffer of his, alleging how 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:37.480 she was sexually assaulted in twenty twenty four. After a 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:39.760 night of being out drinking listen. 0:17:40.400 --> 0:17:42.960 I decided to ask him to meet me for a drink. 0:17:43.280 --> 0:17:47.520 And I did this because I was so far removed 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.919 from what had happened in twenty nineteen. I felt safe 0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:57.640 because I was established I had a partner. I felt 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:02.760 more secure than I could have a strictly professional relationship 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.800 with this person. After that bar closed, we went to another. 0:18:06.280 --> 0:18:10.159 I went to the bathroom, and I don't remember anything 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:10.639 after that. 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:11.960 You don't remember anything. 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:16.960 I remember the next day. I can see flashes of 0:18:17.200 --> 0:18:20.600 that evening, of him on top of me, me pushing 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:25.760 him off, him grabbing me. It was a lot more aggressive. 0:18:26.480 --> 0:18:27.240 It was aggressive. 0:18:27.720 --> 0:18:28.399 Did you say no? 0:18:29.040 --> 0:18:29.359 Yes? 0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:34.520 I said no. I in my flash that I can recall, 0:18:34.960 --> 0:18:38.040 I was pushing him off of me, saying no, And 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:41.399 what's it he do? He didn't stop, He didn't stop, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.439 and you woke up the next morning. 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:44.480 I woke up the. 0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:49.720 Next morning naked alone in his hotel room. I for 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:53.560 a moment didn't even know I was in his hotel room. 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:58.240 That's how intoxicated I was. And I called my mom, 0:18:58.840 --> 0:18:59.959 the only person I could think that. 0:19:00.080 --> 0:19:00.520 It helped me. 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:06.280 Then, this former staffer alleges more again. A listener disclaimer 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.400 for the graphic content. 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:12.520 I kept figuring out ways to blame myself. I shouldn't 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:15.359 have reached out to him at all. I should have left. 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.480 I should have done this well. Eric shouldn't have raped me. 0:19:20.040 --> 0:19:22.439 It was in twenty nineteen, I was again driving him 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:24.119 to an event. This was my job, and you were 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:26.000 twenty one years old and I was twenty one years old. 0:19:26.080 --> 0:19:28.000 We see some sort of parking lot and he says 0:19:28.040 --> 0:19:31.840 to pull over. He pulls out his penis and instructs 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:38.280 me to give him oral sex. And I started to again. 0:19:38.640 --> 0:19:43.000 I felt incredibly uncomfortable, and I stopped and I said 0:19:43.000 --> 0:19:48.000 to him, this feels really uncomfortable, and anyone could see 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.200 us right now. And he said to me, you're right. 0:19:50.320 --> 0:19:52.320 It's probably not good for a congressman to be caught 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:53.080 with his pants down. 0:19:53.480 --> 0:19:56.200 And then it goes on and the former staffer says 0:19:56.240 --> 0:20:00.960 that she and Swallowell exchange lude photos as part of 0:20:01.000 --> 0:20:04.399 this relationship. Again graphic content. Did he ask you to 0:20:04.440 --> 0:20:05.520 send him lut photos? 0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:06.160 Yes? 0:20:06.400 --> 0:20:07.960 And did he ever send lu photos? 0:20:08.080 --> 0:20:08.399 Yes? 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:13.760 He would send short snapchat videos of him rubbing his 0:20:14.560 --> 0:20:17.600 penis through his pants while on the airplane. 0:20:18.280 --> 0:20:21.760 Oh good grief. Now here's Swollwell from all over the weekend. 0:20:22.160 --> 0:20:24.880 A lot has been said about me today through anonymous allegations, 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:27.359 and I thought it was important that you see and 0:20:27.400 --> 0:20:31.840 hear from me directly. These allegations of sexual assault are 0:20:31.960 --> 0:20:35.919 flat false. They are absolutely false. They did not happen, 0:20:36.280 --> 0:20:38.520 They have never happened, and I will fight them with 0:20:38.680 --> 0:20:41.480 everything that I have. They also come on the eve 0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:43.960 of an election where I have been the front runner 0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:47.200 candidate for governor in California. I do not suggest to 0:20:47.240 --> 0:20:49.560 you in any way that I'm perfect or that I'm 0:20:49.600 --> 0:20:53.199 a saint. I have certainly made mistakes in judgment in 0:20:53.280 --> 0:20:56.400 my past, but those mistakes are between me and my wife, 0:20:56.920 --> 0:20:59.840 and to her, I apologize deeply for putting her in 0:20:59.880 --> 0:21:03.440 the position. I also apologize to you if in any 0:21:03.480 --> 0:21:06.640 way you've doubted your support for me. But I think 0:21:06.680 --> 0:21:07.440 you know who I am. 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.440 I think anybody knows who he is. I don't think 0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:16.560 he survives this big time AJ Houston, Texas. What's going on, baby, 0:21:18.840 --> 0:21:20.200 I'm Sean Hannity. 0:21:21.080 --> 0:21:22.679 What's going on? Baby? 0:21:23.000 --> 0:21:25.359 It's been too long? How are you my friend? 0:21:25.720 --> 0:21:29.080 Oh man? They working me to death, working me to death, 0:21:29.080 --> 0:21:31.560 and I'm trying to get by listening to them idiots 0:21:31.600 --> 0:21:34.480 out there on the radio, and you battle them back 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.720 and forth with them, and then this guy here, Sean, 0:21:37.840 --> 0:21:40.400 let me ask you something, reck quick? Oh happy ladyishes 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:45.440 to everybody on the staff and everybody, Linda, all of them? Hey, 0:21:45.720 --> 0:21:50.280 reck quick, let me uh if she said she said 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:55.040 pictures and he got she got pictures, he got pictures. 0:21:55.520 --> 0:21:59.200 Why is he coming on selling everything is false? Because Sean, 0:21:59.320 --> 0:22:02.480 don't stuff stay don't I mean she got pictures. She 0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:05.119 can prove it right from what she's saying. 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.760 If the pictures go a long way, yeah, make any case. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:10.000 There's no doubt about it. 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.040 So he's gonna he's sent up that line saying, oh, 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:16.159 I ain't got none of this. Everything is false? Is 0:22:16.280 --> 0:22:21.240 everything is false? Well? Uh, let her bring the pictures 0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:23.680 out and let every right. But I think it's already 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.320 then came out though, right, Sean, if I'm not mistaken, 0:22:26.359 --> 0:22:26.800 I there. 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.240 I don't know if I want to see those pictures. 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:31.080 I think I can. I think I can go through 0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.320 life without ever having us see those pictures. I think 0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:34.879 I can live without those videos. 0:22:35.040 --> 0:22:38.080 I know. But I thank god if he stepped down, 0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:41.000 that we might have a Republican into California. 0:22:41.480 --> 0:22:43.560 They're gonna make a prediction he's gonna get thrown out 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.400 of Congress. He'll never be governor. And I think that 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:51.160 his odds of probably being found guilty are very, very high, 0:22:51.240 --> 0:22:53.720 if these charges are brought against them, there's my prediction. 0:22:53.880 --> 0:22:55.120 We'll see what happens. 0:22:55.680 --> 0:22:59.320 And you know, Democrats seem like nothing never happened to mew. 0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:03.480 If it's Republican, oh my god, he'd have been under 0:23:03.480 --> 0:23:06.560 the jail by now. But since he's a Democrat, they 0:23:06.680 --> 0:23:10.280 gonna sweep it. Look at nuisance. He haven't gave them 0:23:10.440 --> 0:23:15.520 people their permits for their houses yet. The media ain't. 0:23:15.560 --> 0:23:18.719 They haven't. I ain't gonna say aang I said, haven't 0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:22.480 did a word media outlet on it. 0:23:22.680 --> 0:23:26.320 There's a there's a tape of nuisance back when he 0:23:26.359 --> 0:23:30.200 was mayor of San Francisco, of him having to apologized 0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:32.200 for having an affair with like one of his best 0:23:32.200 --> 0:23:35.359 friends and campaign I guess he was ahead of his 0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:38.919 campaign and having some relationship with the wife. I mean 0:23:39.000 --> 0:23:41.280 it was not good, I know. 0:23:41.720 --> 0:23:46.040 And then I love what Trump said to Maria this weekend. 0:23:45.520 --> 0:23:49.760 Uh oh, they mad, Oh you you said this, and 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.120 you're gonna wipe out this and that something I don't 0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:55.920
