1 00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: On this episode of Newtsworld, we're continuing our holiday party 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:12,640 Speaker 1: with my guest Sean Hannity. I've known Sean for thirty years, 3 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:17,560 Speaker 1: and I think you'll find the conversation just fascinating. You 4 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,640 Speaker 1: can see some of the photos I shared on our 5 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:35,199 Speaker 1: show page at newtsworld dot com. Hey, mister speaker, how 6 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: are you. I'm doing great? How are you? You geared 7 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 1: up for Christmas? I don't know what that means yet. 8 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,440 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I have this period. I get 9 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: one two week vacation year and it's Christmas Week in 10 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: New Year's week, but to get to being normal again 11 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: usually takes almost the first full week. We've been friends 12 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: for so long. I can share this. You know. There 13 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: are periods where I get frustrate with you because you're like, oh, yeah, 14 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be away. I'm traveling to this country, this country, 15 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: this country, this country, this country. When I travel, I 16 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: go to let's see, Helsinki, Vietnam, Singapore, and Iraq. That's 17 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: the extent of my travel. And I'm like, ah, newts 18 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 1: out a month, I'll say, but every time when you 19 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: come back, and I've chronicled this brimming with like an 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: overflow of incredible ideas that are always meaningful to me. 21 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: There's a little trick every time it's the first interview 22 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: when you're back from one of your sabbaticals. I pay 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,920 Speaker 1: very close attention because that is the culmination of whatever 24 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: length of time it was of you thinking. And new 25 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: thinking usually is a good thing for those of us 26 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: that want to solve problems. So that's the highest compliment, 27 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: believe it or not. Oh no, that's quite a compliment. 28 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: Well you're tadding me. I'm sitting in front of the 29 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 1: Christmas Tree in Rome. You missed it earlier, but I 30 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: shared with our audience the Nativity scene that they're unveiled 31 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 1: at the Vatican this weekend, which has to be the 32 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: strangest scene ever unveiled at the Vatican. You'll see what 33 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: I'm talking about, knowing you, I just want to see 34 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: what you do with it? What is that which was beautiful? 35 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, maybe I'm not from Roswell, New Mexico. I 36 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: don't exactly know what that is. What is that? They 37 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: are ceramic figures which were actually made in a Bruso 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 1: in southern Italy about nineteen sixty five. It's apparently a 39 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 1: local folk card version of an activity scene, which I 40 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: have to confess, we went back and looked at it 41 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: a second time so we could get closer. Part of 42 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: it looks like a spaceman the first one did. Now 43 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: this I could actually see the resemblance of maybe a 44 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: shepherd or a Nativity scene with the red and obviously 45 00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: married behind the creative imagination the spirit of it. But frankly, 46 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 1: after COVID and everything else, I think to the degree 47 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: that people can reach into their hearts and have a 48 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: good spirit of Christmas and o'hanaga, it's just good for everybody, 49 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: whatever country. And we're staying a decline over here a 50 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: significant in new cases pattern seems to hold right. I mean, 51 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: you have a spike, you have a second wave or 52 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 1: a third wave level out the curve, and then you 53 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: see a precipitous decline and it goes down. The difference 54 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: this time, though, is and if you have something you 55 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: want to be thankful for for Christmas, thank medical research 56 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: and scientists. Between the therapeutics like Regeneron and Eli Lilly's 57 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: version of it, and now not one vaccine, I think 58 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: we'll end up with nine by the end of the day. 59 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: But it was a big deal when the vaccines left 60 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: the phisoplant over the weekend, and by the way, rightly, 61 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: it's going to be distributed to frontline healthcare workers first 62 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: and then the elderly, those most vulnerable. I looked at 63 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 1: the list, I think it was right behind you. You're 64 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: a long way behind me. Not really, not after this year. 65 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: One of the things, mister speaker, I love about you 66 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: is you know, years ago you were an Alvin Toffler 67 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 1: future shock individual. I mean, these are the things that 68 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: really smart people think about. People spend entire careers on viruses. 69 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,479 Speaker 1: The first case in the US was January thirty first 70 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: this year, and now we have a vaccine that is 71 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: now going in people's arms that will save lives. So 72 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: I mean, as hard as a year as it's been, 73 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: it's been in a year of incredible advancement and creativity, 74 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: and we're thankful for those people. Almost a miracle how 75 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 1: rapidly it worked. And I think Trump deserves a great 76 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 1: deal of credit because you know, he broke through the bureaucracy, 77 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: He insisted it could be done, he focused the resources 78 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: to do it, and millions of lives were wide will 79 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,920 Speaker 1: be saved by these breakthroughs. So in that sense. Hopefully 80 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 1: we were close to the end of a very long, 81 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 1: hard year. But I think there's a chance that twenty 82 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: one will be better, not just in health terms, but frankly, 83 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: trying to get idiotic governors like Cuomo to back off 84 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 1: and recognize that their kind of dictatorial controls are totally 85 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: counterproductive and ruined lives. In some ways, you could argue 86 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: that the governors have caused more damage than covid is. 87 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 1: I remember very early on you were in Rome and 88 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: you had written a column and I read, I read 89 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: all your stuff, and You're like, this is real. Pay 90 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: attention to this because Italy was getting hit before we 91 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: got hit, and I know the president won't get credited. 92 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: It shouldn't be political, but it became political and way 93 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 1: too many ways. But the fact is the medical mobilization 94 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: that we witnessed, and I was right in the middle 95 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,479 Speaker 1: of this, I call it an Adam shift show. I 96 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: say very carefully in Long Island, and I remember I 97 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: have friends of mine that work in the hospital system 98 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: out here, and it was one Saturday, and between Friday 99 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 1: and Saturday they had eighteen thousand new cases. Eighteen thousand 100 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: hospitals were overwhelmed patients were in the hallway, and then 101 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 1: I'm reading your article and I'm like, wow, here it comes. 102 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,239 Speaker 1: And that was probably the only moment I was really 103 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: this might overtake us. And because I always believe in 104 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: medicine and science, and you know, it's unfortunate that a 105 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: lot of it got politicized. But then you know, they 106 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: sent into two hospital Navy ships, they built three thousand 107 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: hospital COVID capable at the Javit Center. They built them 108 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 1: all around the country. And you know, when you talk 109 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: about the shutdown aspect of this, mister speaker, you know, 110 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: if the farmers stopped farming, if the meadow go manufacturers 111 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 1: stopped producing their applies, if the packers didn't pack the 112 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: trucks and the truckers didn't drive, we were dead. And 113 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: none of those people ever shut down, And they're unsung 114 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: heroes in this too. Somebody will presently write a serious 115 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: history of twenty twenty and it will be very different 116 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: than the news media version. How people will realize how 117 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: big the mobilization was. So I think it's the biggest 118 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: mobilization since World War Two. You know, we've gone all out. 119 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: It's been very painful, and both of us have good friends. 120 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: I expect everybody who's on the line right now has 121 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 1: everyone knows somebody who is head COVID or in some 122 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: tragic cases, died of him. I do think we'll through this. 123 00:07:46,520 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: He was a mutual friend. Are you both ready for 124 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: some questions? Oh? Sure, here's one for Marie from California, 125 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: She says, Dura, what's up with his report? Is this 126 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 1: for the speaker of me or either one? We always 127 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 1: start with you, Sean, because they get at me every month, 128 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: but this is a rare treat for them. I mean 129 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: the five years you were speaker, and then what are 130 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: the things you were able to do when you weren't 131 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: speaker anymore? We remain close friends all throughout. Is that 132 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: you never stopped writing books, you never stopped going on television, 133 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 1: you never stopped fighting for your principles and your ideas, 134 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 1: and every step of the way whatever political battle we've 135 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 1: had to engage in, you've been a force right in 136 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: the middle of it, including the rise of Donald Trump. 137 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: And you know, as it relates to Dorham, what I'm 138 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: most worried about, I'll answer in a backdoorway, is when 139 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: the media can tell all of us that, oh, there's 140 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 1: no credible person sees any evidence with Hunter Biden. The 141 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: reality is there was credibility to Joe and Hunter from 142 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 1: day one, and the credibility was Joe on videotape bragging 143 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: that you have six hours you're not getting a billion 144 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 1: tax dollars until you fire a Ukrainian prosecutor. Why would 145 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: a vice president of the United States ever demand a 146 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: Ukrainian prosecutor get fired. Well, then we found out about Barisma, 147 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: and then Hunter does GMA, no oil, no gas experience, 148 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 1: no energy, no Ukraine experience, but he's getting paid millions 149 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 1: of dollars. I bring that up in the context of Dorham. 150 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: What I'm most worried about our institutions failing all of us. 151 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: The media hid Joe Biden in the basement. The media lie, 152 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: and they knew they were lying about Hunter Biden not 153 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: having scandals. We have irrefutable and controvertible evidence that Hillary Clinton, 154 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: it's not in dispute anymore. She paid for a dirty 155 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 1: Russian misinformation dossier. That dossier became the bulk of information 156 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: for four five applications. Those applications were used to spy 157 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: on a presidential candidate, Donald Trump, a transition team of 158 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump and a president Donald Trump, and here we 159 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: are four years later and only one person has been 160 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: held accountable. The horrow Its report literally referred these top 161 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,960 Speaker 1: officials for investigations and criminal referrals and it never happened. 162 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: The fact that the media can lie, the fact that 163 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 1: institutional corruption what we call a deep state exists and 164 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: can protect its own and everything else associated with us 165 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: and tell us for three years there was Trump Russia 166 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 1: collusion and it wasn't true, and then peach a president 167 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: over a non phone call, and then ignore every real 168 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: whistle blower in terms of election fraud. They didn't want 169 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: to hear from them at all. That part scares me 170 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: because that's not something that I recognize as uniquely American. 171 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: Those are things that we thought other countries did. Those 172 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: were corrupt practices of those countries, not this country. So 173 00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: if a mob and big tech can suppress news stories, 174 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 1: if people we find all the evidence in the world 175 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: that they're involved in something like the deep state in 176 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 1: this whole Muller Trump Russia conspiracy, lie and they can 177 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: brush it all under the rug, and then we can 178 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: have real whistle blowers that identify real fraud in an election, 179 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 1: but nobody wants to hear from them. That part makes 180 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: me nervous because we've lost something for this republic to survive, 181 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 1: and that is a people that are locked in hearing, 182 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: accepting truth and a standard of morality that you know 183 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: if you cross it, you will get in trouble. The 184 00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: only people that seem to get in trouble are conservatives 185 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 1: that they spit on the sidewalk. I think that we 186 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: will probably in the long run, win because I think 187 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: that the drive for freedom is greater than the acceptance 188 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: of sort of a serfdom. But I think it's a 189 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:32,079 Speaker 1: real fight. I think the institutional systems that are opposed 190 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: to us and that want to exploit us are breathtaking 191 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: on how much power they've developed. And I think that 192 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: it's part of the next evolution of American politics and culture, 193 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: as I think going to be this fight between the 194 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 1: forces of freedom and the forces of oppression. And we 195 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: were talking a while ago with Laura about the pastor 196 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: in California has seven thousand members of his church who 197 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 1: just said oddly he wasn't obeying any order to close 198 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: his church, and seven thousand people showed up for the 199 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: service and untilbody was willing to come and try to 200 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: arrest him. And I think that's where we're at. I think, 201 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, you see sheriffs now who say they won't 202 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,959 Speaker 1: enforce whatever the governor says about Christmas. The same thing 203 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: happened over Thanksgiving. And I think it's going to get worse. 204 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 1: And presently, I think there's going to be an absolute 205 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,839 Speaker 1: political rebellion, not military, but political rebellion against people like 206 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: Cuomo who are out there right now destroying jobs in 207 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 1: a way that is just crazy. I mean, there's a 208 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,080 Speaker 1: report that maybe as many as one hundred and sixty 209 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 1: thousand restaurants are going to go broke around the country. 210 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 1: It's nuts. How many times have you spoken at the 211 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: twenty one club? Fair number over the bye bye It's gone. 212 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 1: Now that it gets more open and be interesting to 213 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: see how this all plays out. But I think as 214 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: we get beyond the intensity of the election that you'll 215 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: see new language and new approaches and a new awareness. 216 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean a little to my surprise, already, you're seeing 217 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: some breakdown in the iron curtain of left wing propaganda. 218 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: Things are starting to come out of Hunter Biden that 219 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: didn't used to be there. Other things are coming out 220 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: that you wouldn't have seen two weeks or three weeks ago. 221 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: I think that that may continue, and I also think 222 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 1: that people are self organizing. I mean, in California now, 223 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: they have I think eight hundred thousand signatures already to 224 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: recall the governor, and they need about a million five 225 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 1: which I think means they actually need about two point 226 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: two million, but they have until the end of March 227 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 1: to get them. I think the governor, by the way, 228 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: has been totally shocked by the scale of the response 229 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 1: and the fact that so many Californians are disgusted with 230 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: his behavior. So, you know, French laundry, three hundred and 231 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: fifty dollars, dinner for him, and no place near you 232 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: is open. That's exactly right, and that's going to be 233 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: part of the fight is corrupt politicians and corrupt bureaucrats 234 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: who think the rest of us are stupid and then 235 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: frankly they're billionaire allies. When I see somebody like Bill Gates, 236 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: who's the fourth or fifth wealthiest guy in the world, 237 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: tell us that the rest of us may not be 238 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,680 Speaker 1: able to go to work for another year, I wonder 239 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,840 Speaker 1: if he is so totally tone deaf that he has 240 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: no idea what he's saying, and I think in that sense, 241 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 1: you're going to see a total shake up in the 242 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: American political system in which the billionaires who like selling 243 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: out to China are going to be allied to the 244 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: teachers union and they're going to be allied to the 245 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: hard left, and then all the rest of us are 246 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 1: going to be the other team. And that's going to 247 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: include a lot of African Americans, a lot of Latinos, 248 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: a lot of Asian Americans, and a lot of Native Americans. 249 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: I mean, there are places where Trump was doing amazingly. 250 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Will Biden actually carried the smallest number of counties of 251 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: any winning presidential candidate American history. Their base is shrinking 252 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: into just these arm plays, and the rest of the 253 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: country's repudiating them. Yeah, you know, that's the hopeful side. 254 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: You know, one thing that I think we can always predict, 255 00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: because there is an ebb and flow to the political cycle. 256 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: If I'm right in my analysis, there are three waves 257 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: of conservatism, Reagan, You and Trump. The one predictable thing 258 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 1: is there's going to be overreach now that overreach in 259 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,239 Speaker 1: the past. This time, though, you know, the Democrats, liberals, socialists, 260 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: they always would hide what they really wanted to do, 261 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000 Speaker 1: and not hiding it anymore now they're actually saying it. 262 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: And my humble opinion, I look at Joe Biden as weak, frail, 263 00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 1: struggling cognitively, and my fear is the more radical elements 264 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: of his base will exploit all of it for the 265 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: advancement of their agenda. Now, once you have the overreach, 266 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: then you're looking at Trump two point zero, the Tea 267 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: Party two point zero, or a conservative movement or those 268 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: that want freedom and liberty, and they're not going to 269 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,920 Speaker 1: stop the fight. They're not. The tipping point is very 270 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: close where the battle begins. If we win the two 271 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: seats in Georgia, and I think we will display everything. 272 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: We basically have checkmated the radicals. The gains we have 273 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: in the House mean Pelosi is not going to be 274 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 1: able to pass anything that's radical. I wrote a newsletter 275 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: the other day at Which sixty in which I pointed 276 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: out that two years after Bill Clinton wins, we pick 277 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: up fifty four seats, that I've become speaker. Two years 278 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 1: after Obama wins, we pick up three seats and Bayner 279 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: become speaker. Now you're talking about a situation where the 280 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: odds are very high that Kevin McCarthy is going to 281 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 1: be the Speaker in January twenty three. And if you 282 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: go out to the states, the gains we made in 283 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 1: state legislators and governorships and you name it. This is 284 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 1: a very bizarre election, which is why I've always thought 285 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: that you can't explain Biden by any reasonable explanations. Why 286 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: are you so confident in Georgia? First of all, because 287 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 1: I talked to Robert Kaheley of Trafalgar and he is 288 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,760 Speaker 1: pretty confident. Now we have to win a bigger margin 289 00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 1: than they can steal. The challenge for them is they 290 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 1: picked two people who are genuinely, ultimately not acceptable. Also, 291 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 1: there's basically a trust fund baby who's never done a 292 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: thing in his life and who really represents I wrote 293 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 1: a call um calling him San Francisco John Asson. He 294 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,920 Speaker 1: raises far more money in California than he raises in Georgia, 295 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: and he's sort of a radical. But his problem is 296 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 1: he's now running on the same ticket with Ralfhael Warnock, 297 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: and Ralphael Warnock is the most radical candidate ever nominated 298 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: by a major party. Yes, and every day we learn 299 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: more new things about how radical he is, and you 300 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: see it beginning to wear him down. I mean, he's 301 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 1: now clearly falling behind Kelly Leffler. So I think in 302 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: the end we will be able to win those two 303 00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: seats because when you don't have the Trump Biden and 304 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: the media hostility for Trump weighing everything down, and now 305 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: you get down to actually looking at the center races, 306 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats have overreached. They could have nominated some nice centrist, 307 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 1: but then that wouldn't have gotten to kind of turnout 308 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 1: that they wanted. And they deliberately want for a radical 309 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: strategy to see if they could stuff the ballot boxes 310 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 1: and gin up and up excitement enough energy on the left. 311 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: And in the end that hasn't worked very well anywhere 312 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: in the country. I mean, the truth is, there aren't 313 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: many places where that strategy is very attractive because the 314 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: average American doesn't like it, and you can get into 315 00:20:13,640 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 1: the social correctness. Look, I hope you're right. Do you 316 00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: know Georgia, Well, you know Georgia better than me. We 317 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,920 Speaker 1: have a great history in Georgia. It's as important as 318 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,119 Speaker 1: any race in our lifetime in my view, for the 319 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: very reason. But you know, Look, there's a wave. There's 320 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 1: always an up and down, an ebb and flow, political cycles, 321 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 1: call it whatever you want, and I've lived through enough 322 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: of them now to see this is probably the most 323 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 1: predictable in terms of what they will do and what 324 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,359 Speaker 1: the reaction in the American public is going to be. 325 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: For seventy five million Americans, there is no appetite for 326 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: what they're planning to do. And assuming that their stated 327 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 1: agenda becomes their policies, becomes their attempt to transform America, 328 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: it also becomes their biggest liability. And it also becomes 329 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: a boomerang back on them because instinctively, there will be 330 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: a do you miss me yet? Component at Biden's president, 331 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:18,479 Speaker 1: and that will be almost a daily reminder. And the 332 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 1: answer is going to be if it happens, wow, and 333 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 1: I was getting offended at tweeting, it will minimize so 334 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 1: greatly the things that everybody feigned so much outrage about. 335 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: I mean, on top of everything else, he's gonna have 336 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,480 Speaker 1: to be Hiden. They'll be Hiden Biden in the White House, 337 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 1: and you allow President Trump and exile, you know, look 338 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: at it that way. If I'm always we're talking about, 339 00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: you know, descending into a level of corruption that I 340 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 1: hoped we'd never see or want for our country. But 341 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: assuming all of that, Americans are going to be like, Okay, 342 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: this guy's checked out. That'll be figured out fairly quickly, 343 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: and then they're going to start getting nervous. And I'm 344 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 1: going to tell you something else. This is purely just 345 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: a fact. You're sort of like if you ask anybody 346 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: a polster or a focus group, do you like negative ads? No? 347 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: Then you look at whether the negative ads work. They 348 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,640 Speaker 1: always work. Do you want the president to always be presidential? Yes? 349 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 1: But boy, you're gonna miss it when you get the 350 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: guy that you never see. Also, because it was engaging 351 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: and politics was fun again in a lot of ways, 352 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 1: and it was a constant battle of ideas and outrage 353 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: feigned and otherwise from the media and the president's enemy. 354 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,160 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a lot of things that are 355 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 1: going to unfold that are going to be from my 356 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 1: perspective and I know yours a historian, that are going 357 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: to be very very interesting to watch. I think you 358 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: got a first taste of that that the Army Navy came. Yeah, 359 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: it's a good point. I even saw a couple of 360 00:22:53,880 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: reporters grudgingly note that the amazing speed of the vaccine 361 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 1: process was due to Donald Trump. The other example, of course, 362 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: which is going to be fascinating, As you may remember, 363 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: when I was Speaker, I offered the bill to move 364 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 1: the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which every president waved. 365 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: They had an annual right to annually wave it until Trump. 366 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Now Biden's got two or three big things here. Does 367 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: he moved the embassy back to Tell Aviv? I doubt it. 368 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,080 Speaker 1: So if you visit in Jerusalem. Second, you just had 369 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: Morocco come out and recognize Israel. I am told there 370 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: may be two or three more countries before the end 371 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: of President Trump's term. Miss Biden tried to undercut it. 372 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: That would be interesting. Yeah. And then the third, of course, 373 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: you have the whole Iranian problem, and with people like 374 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 1: John Kerry hanging out and Barack Obama, I'm sure they 375 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: are desperate to find a way to appease the Iranians. 376 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: So all of these things are going on. But what 377 00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:00,239 Speaker 1: it does mean is that you and I will have 378 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: things to talk about all next year. We will It's 379 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 1: gonna be one hundred days for our side.
