4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: guests sharing stories about growing up in a haunted house

5
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: that was possessed by an evil presence, a nightmarish encountered

6
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,159
Speaker 1: with a UFO in the dead of night, and the

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,360

Speaker 1: thought provoking shows from Coast to Coast. Now here's a

12
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: highlight from Coast to Coast am on iHeart Radio House

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: memo stating disputed dossier was the key to the FBI's

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: warrant to surveill members of the Trump team. It was

15
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,839
Speaker 1: a major story. A much hyped memo that shows alleged

16
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:52,160
Speaker 1: government surveillance abuse during the two thousand sixteen campaign has

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: been released to the public and sites testimony from a

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: high ranking government official who says that the FBI and

19
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: the Department of just This would not have sought surveillance

20
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: warrants to spying a member of the Trump team without

21
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: the infamous Democrat funded anti Trump Dasier Howard Bloom. He's

22
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,400
Speaker 1: a liberal. Let's get his take on this one. Go ahead, Howard,

23
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: here's the deal. The new newest memo has sucked up

24
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: all the oxygen in the room for a full weekend.

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,120
Speaker 1: It's a distraction. The real question is this, did the

26
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: Russians manipulate the presidential election of two thousand and sixteen?

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: And if they did, how do we stop this meddling

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: in two thousand eighteen and beyond? Yes, there are a

29
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 1: few lesser questions. Are the FBI and the Justice de

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 1: Parliament run by die hard Democratic zealots who will make

31
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,559
Speaker 1: up lies to hang Donald Trump? Or are the Democrats

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 1: in these agencies onto something real? And is the Steel

33
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: Memo true? Is Donald Trump? That is, is it true?

34
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Not who? Not? Who financed it? Is Donald Trump? And

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: unwitting dupe of the Russians? Has Trump successfully been turned

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: into a Russian asset? Those are some of the implications

37
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 1: of the Steel Memo? But these questions are trivial by comparison,

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 1: and the Russians are the enemies of democracy. They have

39
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: been manipulating elections in France, the Ukraine, Bulgaria, Estonia and Austria.

40
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: But Democrats and Republicans are not enemies of democracy. In fact,

41
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: we are all in this together. Now. Look, our real

42
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: problem is that we are operating or we are opening

43
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: ourselves to the Russians and the Chinese by tearing each

44
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: other to pieces. Some Republicans are convinced that Bill and

45
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton ran the biggest criminal enterprise in presidential history

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: from the White House. Many Republicans are certain that Hillary

47
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 1: presided over a child pornography ring based out of the

48
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: comic Ping Pong pizza parlor in Washington, d C. Some

49
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Republicans are certain that the Clinton's murdered anyone they thought

50
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: would rat on their operation. And some Republicans are certain

51
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,080
Speaker 1: that Barack Obama is a Muslim and a Marxist. In fact,

52
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: some Republicans think Obama is so anti American that he

53
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: should be arrested for his treason. On the other side,

54
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 1: Democrats like me believe that Donald Trump wants to be

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: the first American American tin pot dictator. Some of US

56
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: Democrats believe that Donald Trump is trying to purge everyone

57
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: from the FBI and the Justice Department. Who is not

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: a Kama Kazee Donald Trump loyalist. Some of US Democrats

59
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,799
Speaker 1: even believe that Trump wants to turn the FBI and

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: the Justice Department into personal storm troopers, and that he

61
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: wants them to back up his beliefs, no matter how

62
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: wild and crazy those beliefs proved to be, and those

63
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: beliefs of Trump's are often way off base. He doesn't

64
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: know how to fact check. In a tweet the day

65
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: after Tuesday's terrific, really good State of the Union speech,

66
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: Donald Trump claimed that he had the biggest audience in history.

67
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: But that's not true. George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and

68
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton all had bigger audiences. If Trump insists that

69
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: his Justice Department and his FBI proved his false beliefs

70
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: to be truths, we will all be in trouble. Now. Look,

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: we Democrats and Republicans have to pull together and realize

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: that we all believe in the Constitution, democracy, and liberty.

73
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: The Byzantines in sixty a d had two factions that

74
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: tore each other to pieces. They were called the Greens

75
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: and the Blues, and they went at each other's throats

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: because the Byzantines were so busy attacking each other they

77
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: lost their empire to a newcomer on the scene, the

78
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Armies of Islam. Eventually the Byzantines lost their entire empire.

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: We do not want that to happen to us. Pay

80
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: attention to what counts. Pay attention to the Russians and

81
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: to the Chinese. How would you like a showdown with

82
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: the conservative John Curtis to go in one comes out willing.

83
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 1: I love it all right, we'll set it up. Listen
