Speaker 1: stories we are covering. We got a really big interview today.

15
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: I really want you to hear this because it really

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: angers me when I hear that we send brave men

17
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: and women, we send American treasure. We asked them to

18
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: go fight wars for us. They volunteer to put their

19
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: lives to hold and put their lives on the line

20
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: for our freedoms that we take for granted every day.

21
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. We don't wake up every day and say, ah,

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: I live in the greatest country God gave man. I'm free.

23
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: I'm free. You know, we usually wake up as a,

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: oh crap, I'm tired. I want where's my black rifle coffee?

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I need to get going. Think of it. Most people,

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: you wake up in the morning, you shovel coffee down

27
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: your throat. If you like me and you're trying to

28
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 1: lose weight, you know, maybe I have what I've been eating.

29
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: A have cabbage and one egg. That's been my breakfast

30
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: for the last three months. Yeah, I know it's pathetic, right,

31
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: it's totally pathetic, you're I'm with you, but actually works.

32
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: So then we what We get our kids dressed, we

33
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: get them off to school, We put in our fourteen

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: hour work day, and then you know, moms have finishing work.

35
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: They take their kids to the whatever activity the kids

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: are activitying that particular day, and then you get him

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: home and then you get him washed up, and then

38
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: you got him you know, if you have to slop

39
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: some dinner together whatever it happens to be a little

40
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: spaghetti tonight. Uh, why are you complaining? I want steak. No,

41
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: my son, it was like it since till he was twelve.

42
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: What do you want pasta and butter? Like? What pasta

43
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: and butter? I'm like, no, no, no, there's other foods

44
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: besides pasta and butter. It's like a constant war when

45
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: my son was young. Now, the interesting thing is he's

46
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: almost as bad as Linda. By the in there I've got,

47
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: she's got, she has, She's worse than a sailor. I'm

48
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: just warning, we have Operation three hundred friends here today.

49
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: You are worse. Do you mean by that? Okay, count

50
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: how many F bombs she drops? You know, first of all,

51
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: first of all, you're gonna fake it. You're gonna gona okay,

52
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: so you're gonna be a phony for the next hour.

53
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: You're gonna be a phony. Mean, you're gonna be a

54
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 1: phony for the next hour, and you're not gonna be

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: yourself and you're not gonna drop an F bomb every

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: other second. You know. I get through church every Sunday

57
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: for an hour too. It's amazing and thank God for

58
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: small blessings. You know, that's that's Jesus working his magic.

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: That's their whole sixty minute. That's borderline miraculous. I think

60
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: that there is a divine intervention if that mouth stays

61
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: shut and doesn't kurt. For Wow, I'm shocked. I can't

62
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 1: believe it. Room today, it's not a tough room, been

63
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 1: honest room anyway. So we send these guys. How many

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 1: you know, hundreds and hundreds, if not thousands of heroes

65
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: have we met over the years. How many people have

66
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: I met that had their legs blown off, their arms

67
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: blown off? How many times have I met the parents

68
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: that lost you know, these gold star families, they've lost

69
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: their kids. And I'm gonna tell you something, the last

70
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: two major wars in this country has now changed my

71
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: mind on whether we're gonna go to war. And we

72
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: sent fifty eight fifty eight thousand kids died in Vietnam,

73
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: fifty eight thousand, and then all of a sudden, the

74
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: war gets politicized, and once Washington gets their grubby little

75
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: hands involved in anything, well, then the concept known as

76
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: winning goes out the door, and we end up pulling

77
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: out without finishing the job. Now we can say the

78
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: same thing about what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan, that

79
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: too became politicized. And I'm thinking if I'm one of

80
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the seventy five hundred parents or so that lost kids

81
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: and the thousands of others that had their sons had

82
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:50,240
Speaker 1: their legs blown off, of their arms blown off, or

83
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: half their brain spilling out of their head when they

84
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: got hit with an IED. I'm a little pissed off

85
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: that we put restraints on men that's supposed to be

86
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,720
Speaker 1: fighting wars for us and women, and we send them

87
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 1: in the harm's way, and then we put handcuffs on them,

88
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: and then we bring them to trial if in fact

89
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: they make a split second decision that frankly, nobody in

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the comfort of their homes right here in the United

91
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: States is thinking about the dangers that they go through

92
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: every day, and if they make a wrong decision, we

93
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 1: end up putting them in jail, even if it's an

94
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,919
Speaker 1: innocent decision. And it's frankly, it's unfathomable. You know, we

95
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: can't fight wars like we didn't in Iraq when we

96
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: now we've got to build the next generation of warfare.

97
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: I acknowledge this world is evil. It has darkness all

98
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: over it, and the human condition is such that it's

99
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: going to remain that way. It's the story of mankind.

100
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: I wrote a book Deliver Us from Evil, talked about

101
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: one hundred plus mill human being slaughtered in wars by

102
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:09,479
Speaker 1: government's tyranny, fascism, communism, Nazism. The killing fields go through

103
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 1: at Stalin's Russia, what thirty million or so people give

104
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: or take a couple of million Nazi Germany, Fascism Tojo's

105
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: to Japan. You know, we fight these wars. But the

106
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: difference was when my dad fought in World War Two.

107
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: That was a war that we fought to win. Now

108
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: to this day, I assume in the minds of some people,

109
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: Harry Truman dropping the big bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

110
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: is a controversial decision. Yes, innocent people died, permanent damage

111
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: was done to others. Do we start these wars? No,

112
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: we did not. Pearl Harbor was attacked. It was an

113
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: unprovoked attack on our homeland. They started the war. Somebody

114
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: starts a fight with me, I don't want to fight.

115
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: I'll train and walk away from the fight. I train now,

116
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: I've trained seven years. It is a part of me

117
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: that probably would like to see if it really works.

118
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: We're talking about the DNC today. Yeah, No, it's just

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: calmed down. Okay, But if somebody's gonna fight me, I'm

120
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: going to fight to win. If America is going to

121
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: fight a conflict of battle, we don't need to send

122
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: Americans door to door without uparmored hum ves like happened

123
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: in Iraq, and literally they're walking into a death trap

124
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: for them. So we have The President yesterday ended up

125
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: giving a grant of clemency or a full pardon for

126
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: former Army First Lieutenant Michael Beahannah of Oklahoma. He's gonna

127
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: join us later in the program today and his story.

128
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: We told you the story of Clinton Lorentz. You know,

129
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: everyone you know talks about Hillary Clinton a server of husband. Well,

130
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: why do we have equal justice? Because there was a

131
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: kid named Christian Saucier who was put in jail for

132
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a year because he had six pictures on his cell

133
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: phone and he never shared with anybody of the submarine

134
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 1: that he was so proud to work in. You're not

135
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: allowed to have those pictures. Now the submarine's forty years old.

136
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: It's not like the enemy doesn't have the pictures. Because

137
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: we've we've got the worst IT defenses in the entire world,

138
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: because we're really stupid sometimes as a country, and apparently

139
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 1: it's pretty easy to hack into everything that is known

140
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: as US government computer property. And why we don't solve

141
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: that problem is another big I don't know why we're

142
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: pretty dumb if we don't. And in this day and age,

143
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: you've got to know that all of our secrets are

144
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: now vulnerable if these people can hack into it. But

145
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: let me let me not digress too much here now

146
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 1: in this case, Kristin Saucier also got pardoned by the President.

147
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,120
Speaker 1: He had spent a year in jail. Well, this guy

148
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: that we're gonna interview later, former Army first Lieutenant Michael Behenna,

149
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: I mean, his story is fascinating. He actually spent five

150
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: years at Leavenworth and he was given a fifteen years sentence,

151
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: now fifteen years, get this for unpremeditated murder. He was

152
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: sent to Leavenworth. Now they did let him out. It

153
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: all started in two thousand and eight. He was a

154
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: young commander seventeen man platoon. I mean, this kid was

155
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: born and trained his whole life. He wanted to be

156
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: in the military. At an ROTC scholarship, he went to

157
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: Airborne school, became an infantry officer, joined the famed hundred

158
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: and first Airborne Division after obtaining his ranger tab. And anyway,

159
00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: so he's the commander of a small seventeen man platoon

160
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 1: and he and his men were struck in front of

161
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: him with an IED, a massive one killed four people,

162
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 1: two of which were his own soldiers, severely injuring many

163
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: others in his platoon. And after the attack, well, he

164
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: started reading the intelligence reports and they found a connection

165
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 1: to that IED attack to an al Qaeda operative. Yeah,

166
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: they killed three thousand Americans on nine eleven, two thousand

167
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 1: and one. Anyway, the Alqaeda operator's name was Ali Monsour.

168
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 1: An Army intelligence reports specifically cited Monsour as someone who

169
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: transports explosives for the terror group. And anyway, so Michael

170
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: does his job, he does his research, He finds a

171
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: local shake to locate Monsour, takes him into custody, and

172
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 1: Monsour was ordered released by the Army, and Michael's company

173
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: commander told him to transport him home. While transporting home,

174
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: you know, Michael was determined. He wanted a new He

175
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: wanted to know you know, what do you know about

176
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: this Al Qaeda sell. He wants to protect his soldiers.

177
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 1: That's his job as a leader. If I'm leading a

178
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: platoon and I think this guy's got answers, I'm gonna

179
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 1: get the answers. That's my job to protect them. Everyone

180
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: here that works for me, I take it a big responsibility,

181
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: especially with Linda on my shoulders, is if I'm stupid

182
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 1: and blow up my career. They're all out of a job,

183
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: and Ethan's got a new baby on the way, which

184
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,319
Speaker 1: he's not gonna end up naming you to watch. He

185
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: thinks he is, but he's not anyway, So Monsour ordered release.

186
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: Then he's transported and he interrogates the guy. Did a

187
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: field interrogation of the guy, big deal. Then the Monsour

188
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: guy tries to take in this case, the first Lieutenant

189
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: Michael Behan's gun, and so he had to kill the guy.

190
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: Now he had an interpreter with him, he had an

191
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: eye witness with him. And then we find out, I mean,

192
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: you can't make this stuff up. It just sounds like

193
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 1: the Muller report you have, you know, just like Andrew Weissman.

194
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: But how do we they have a court martial hearing.

195
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: The prosecutors, Oh, they didn't hand over. They didn't tell

196
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: the defense lawyers that they had exculpatory evidence in the

197
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: form of a forensic expert that the prosecution hired that

198
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 1: actually sided with Michael's version of events. And then the

199
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 1: prosecutors sent home the forensics expert that would have exonerated

200
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: Army First Lieutenant Michael. But Hannah, I mean it, you

201
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: can't make this up. They sent him home. Now, he

202
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: spent five years in Leavenworth. Then he was eligible for

203
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: parole in twenty fourteen and he got out. But yesterday

204
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: the President gave him a full part. If we're gonna

205
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: send you to war, I don't want to second guess you.

206
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: If we're trusting you and putting gun in your hands

207
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: and putting the lives of other Americans in your hands.

208
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: As a leader, we can't sit in the safety and

209
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: comfort of the greatest country God gave man that they're

210
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: protecting and second guess what they're possibly going through over there.

211
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: And if any benefit of the dout goes out at all,

212
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: it must be on the side of the American soldier.

213
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 1: That's it. Case closed, because you know, and I know,

214
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: if Monsour had an opportunity, he cut his throat off

215
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: and leave it in a ditch, because that's what al

216
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 1: Qaeda does. That's what this enemy does. That's what this

217
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: evil does. You can't send kids to war and put

218
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 1: handcuffs on them. And we ought to get a list

219
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: of every single person from the Iraq Afghanistan's conflict that

220
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: was found guilty and we need to review every single case.

221
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: I'm under Obama rules of engagement. Good grief. What's up, everybody?

Speaker 1: about until you need it. So many people make disastrous

226

243
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,000

257
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: fingers at the FBI, which is interesting. He's the top

258
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: intel official. He had jorisdiction over all the surveillance activities

259
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: conducted by the FBI, CIA, NSA and other agencies, which

260
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: means this further confirms that yeah, Clapper Lyde and Brennan Lyde.

261
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's now saying that that, in fact, well

262
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: it does meet the Dictionary definition of spying. You know,

291
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: standard and legitimate technique that is widely used in investigations.

292
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 1: That technique has been used to thwart a lot of

293
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 1: counter terrorism plot in this country, so I'm sure. I mean,

294
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: there are protocols and standard standards for using an agent,

295
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that's the case here. So you second,

296
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: this was not done lightly Well, no, it's never done

297
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: lightly up. Well, yeah, I guess it miss meets the

298
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: Dictionary definition of of surveillance or spying, a term I

299
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: don't particularly like. It's not a term of art used

300
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 1: by intelligence people. It has a negative connotation of a

301
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: rogue operation, out of control, not in compliance with the law,

302
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: and that's not the case at all. Do you believe

303
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: Director Ay that the FBI and its agents spied into

304
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: the twenty sixteen presidential campaign operation? Well, again, I want

305
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 1: to be careful about how I answer that question here

306
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: because there is an ongoing inspector General investigation. I have

307
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 1: my own thoughts based on limited information I've seen so far,

308
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: but I don't think it would be right or appropriate

309
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:00,680
Speaker 1: for me to share those at this stage. And at

310
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 1: this time, do you have any evidence than any illegal

311
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: surveillance into the campaigns or individuals associated with the campaigns

312
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: by the FBI occurred. I don't think I personally have

313
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: any evidence of that sort. Have you initiated any internal

314
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: reviews of the FBI's action during the twenty sixteen election. Well,

315
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: mister Chairman, there are a couple of things going on. First,

316
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: there is, of course, the ongoing Inspector General's investigation that's

317
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: being conducted by the Independent Office of Inspector General, and

318
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: our folks are assisting them with their effort. And then second,

319
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,359
Speaker 1: as you alluded to, now that the Special Council investigation

320
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: is completed and having only recently returned to the Department,

321
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:53,320
Speaker 1: the Attorney General is seeking to understand better the circumstances

322
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: at the Department and the FBI relating to how this

323
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: investigation started, and we're working to help him get that understanding.

324
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 1: I think that's part of his job and part of mine.

325
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,679
Speaker 1: What they failed to say in that same report is

326
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: that Mithstood was actually related to Italian intelligence services. So

327
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 1: you can't if you're a Mohler, you don't get to

328
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: just report part of what you want in a story.

329
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 1: You have to put the entire piece before the American people.

330
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: He didn't do that, so we're calling him out. This

331
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 1: is not how investigations are supposed to be run. When

332
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 1: you look into Mithstood closer, Professor mifsud closer, you realize

333
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: that he has connected with all kinds of intelligence agencies,

334
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: include our own FBI. And in that letter Shan, you'll

335
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 1: see there's pictures with FBI agents at the Link campus

336
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: where Professor Mithsood teaches at. So we asked the question

337
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: and I'll just get to the I'll sum it up

338
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: like this. We want to know every document that these

339
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: agencies have related too, because if he is in fact

340
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 1: a Russian agent, this would be one of the biggest

341
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: intelligence scandals for not only the United States, but also

342
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,640
Speaker 1: our allies like the Italians and the Brits and others.

343
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 1: Because if Methsood is a Russian agent, he would know

344
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: all kinds of our intelligence agents throughout the globe. So

345
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: we ask those questions, we want those documents. We're giving

346
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: them a week. Do you believe that the FBI had

347
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: all of these sources out to entrap people from the

348
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: Trump campaign so that they could claim that there was

349
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 1: a conspiracy that Donald Trump was colluding with the Russians,

350
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: But in fact, they put all of these sources all

351
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,160
Speaker 1: across the world to get to members of the Trump campaign,

352
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 1: like they reached out to Papizopolis well, remember what I

353
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,199
Speaker 1: said on your show last year. Yep, I think I

354
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 1: actually said. I think I said it first on your show.

355
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: As I recall, I said, I'm not worried about whether

356
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 1: or not they were spying on the Trump campaign. That

357
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 1: is fact. What I want to know is how many

358
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: spies with an S were involved in this. But mister

359
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 1: Clapper then went on to say that to his knowledge,

360
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,760
Speaker 1: there was no evidence of collusion between members of the

361
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: Trump campaign and the Russians. We did not conclude any

362
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 1: evidence in our report. And when I say our report,

363
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 1: that is the NSA, FBI, and CIA with my office,

364
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 1: the Director of National Intelligence, I had anything any reflection

365
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: of collusion between the members of Trump campaign and the Russians.

366
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: There was no evidence of that in our report. Was

367
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: mister Clapper wrong when he said that. I think he's

368
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: right about characterizing the report, which you'll have read. We

369
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: did not include any evidence in our report. And I

370
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: say our that's NSA, FBI, and CIA with my office

371
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence, that had anything that had any

372
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: reflection of collusion between members of the Trump campaign and

373
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: the Russians. There was no evidence of that included in

374
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 1: our report. Have you seen anything either intelligence briefings, through

375
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: intelligence briefings, anything to back up any of the accusations

376
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: that should have made. They have the documentation that they

377
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: did the hacking, the hacking on the DNC right and

378
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 1: on some of us. You know that put the collusion though, no,

379
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 1: we have not. Do you have evidence that there was

380
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: in fact collusion between Trump associates and Russia during the

381
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: campaign not at this time. Have you seen anything that

382
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: suggests any collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign. Well,

383
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: there's an awful lot of smoke there, Let's put it

384
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 1: that way. People that might have said they were involved,

385
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 1: to what extent they were involved, to what extent the

386
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: president might have known about these people or whatever. There's

387
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: nothing there from that standpoint that we have seen directly

388
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: linking our president to any of that. Evidence exists of collusion, coordination,

389
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian state actors at

390
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: the time you learned of twenty sixteen efforts. I don't

391
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: know whether or not such collusion that's your term, and

392
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: such we can go on forever. Which is the point.

393
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: It is a dead story. Muller is done. Collusion Russia,

394
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: Trump campaign, Russia, Russia, Russia collusion. Collusion, collusion is dead.

395
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 1: It's fascinating to me that we have evidence of real

396
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: collusion with Ukraine. They are begging to give it to us.

397
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 1: They are openly acknowledging they did collude with the Hillary

398
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: Clinton on Hillary Clinton's behalf, with real evidence known as

399
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 1: emails from NC members asking for dirt on Paul Manafort

400
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: and manaforts work from years gone by. Not with Russia,

401
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:15,239
Speaker 1: but with Ukraine. We have evidence that matters. But the

402
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: same people that have been saying collusion collusion, they don't

403
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,480
Speaker 1: ever want to talk about that now. They only care

404
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: about collusion of it's Donald Trump. Now, we've been hearing

405
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:31,399
Speaker 1: a lot of well, there's a hundred hundreds of former

406
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: DJ prosecutors and say Trump obstructed justice. Not one of

407
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:43,119
Speaker 1: them has ever pointed out that if you have a

408
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: underlying crime where the evidence is overwhelming, incontrovertible, Hillary Clinton

409
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: had top secret classified emails on that secret server in

410
00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: a mom and pop bathroom shop closet known as Platts

411
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Rivers network, Okay, there is an underlying crime eighteen USC.

412
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: Seven ninety three. Trying to make it easy for these

413
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 1: fake news phonies that only selectively care about collusion, but

414
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: only if it's Trump, not if it's Hillary. In the DNC, similarly,

415
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: they say obstruction, obstruction, obstruction, Okay, then Hillary, Why did Hillary?

416
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: Let's just ask a logical question. Why if you have

417
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: a subpoena of your emails do you delete thirty three

418
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 1: thousand of them? Why do you acid wash your hard

419
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: drive with something none of us had ever heard of before,

420
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: but the world knows now called bleach bit. You mean

421
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: like with a cloth, No, not with a cloth, with

422
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,880
Speaker 1: bleach bit to eliminate any evidence or possibility you can

423
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: ever forensically retrieve those emails that you deleted that had

424
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 1: been subpoenaed. Why do you think an aid was sent

425
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: out with a hammer to bust up blackberries and iPhones

426
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: and remove the simcards? The only, the only Hillary phones

427
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: that were given to the FBI had no simcards. Where's

428
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: the memory on the phone? The memories on the simcard?

429
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 1: Of course it didn't have anything on there. Now, what

430
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 1: is that called obstruction of justice? Not one of the

431
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,680
Speaker 1: hundred of hundreds of prosecutors that think that Trump obstructed justice,

432
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: they're all liberal, ever said a word about Hillary and

433
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: her conduct and her treatment of those emails. That's called intent.

434
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: The intent was destroy the evidence. The crime was violating

435
00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: the Espionage Act. They don't care. Just like all of

436
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: a sudden, Obama's second term, they all want a wall.

437
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 1: They're willing to fund a wall. They're sounding like Donald

438
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: Trump just a few years ago. We need a wall

439
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: because drugs and cartels and gang members and human traffickers

440
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: are at our border. Now it's immoral to build a

441
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 1: wall because only Donald Trump wants to build the wall.

442
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 1: We don't want to give Donald Trump a win. We do,

443
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: so it's not the issue. Just like all the eye believers,

444
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: where are the eye believers? I'm looking for that group.

445
00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 1: But I believers. I believe, I believe, I believe, I believe,

446
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 1: I believe, I believe. I believe. They're all believed. We

447
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: hadn't heard from Professor Ward. We haven't heard from Julie Sweatneck.

448
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: At the time, Julie Sweatneck made the allegation that almost

449
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: every other weekend, then high school student Brett Cavanaugh and

450
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 1: his buddies they had these parties almost every other weekend,

451
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 1: and they'd spiked the punch and they'd get they would

452
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 1: incapacitate all these young teenage girls. Every other weekend, and

453
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 1: then the boys would line up in the hall and

454
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 1: wait their turn to gang rape these young teen age

455
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: girls every other weekend. Then she gave a response, a story,

456
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 1: and she said, well, I never saw him spike the

457
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,720
Speaker 1: punch bowl, but he was near the punch bowl at

458
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: a party once I saw him there. Well, I saw

459
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 1: him at a red solo cup, but I didn't see

460
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: him give it to anybody while he was in the hall.

461
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: But he definitely wasn't on the line. Okay, they believed

462
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 1: in that case. They believed everybody. Now we've got two

463
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 1: credible women. Gail King did two amazing interviews that say

464
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: the lieutenant governor, Oh, democrat. Wait a minute, Oh, it

465
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: just dawned on me. Maybe that's why there's no believers,

466
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: no eye believers, because it's a Democrat. I thought they

467
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: cared about the issue. Because the two women that were

468
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 1: interviewed by Gail King said that the Lieutenant governor of

469
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Virginia raped them and committed violent sexual assault.

470
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,520
Speaker 1: And both of them have witnesses that they told at

471
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 1: the time that had happened. Now, where are all the

472
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: eye believers? They don't they're missing in action. You see

473
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 1: where we're going with us. This is selective political moral outrage.

474
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: It is a show. It is not about real principled

475
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: views on the assault against women. And by the way,

476
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 1: I think I was like the only one in the country.

477
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:33,719
Speaker 1: If you want to take a little step further, I

478
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: don't think there's anybody more critical of, oh, living conditions

479
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: for women and gays and lesbians and Christians and Jews

480
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: in countries like Saudi Arabia where Hillary took a fortune,

481
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: or Kuwait or any of these other countries that have

482
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: Sharia law, where women in many instants they don't vote,

483
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 1: they don't drive, they don't get to leave their home

484
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: without a male relative, and they are treated brutally horribly,

485
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: and gays and lesbians are thrown off rules or stone

486
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 1: to death for being who they are. And then we've

487
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: got no. You can't know. You can't build the temple

488
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,160
Speaker 1: to trust me. In many of these countries, you can't

489
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 1: build the Christian house of worship. If you do, you're dead.

490
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 1: It's just not gonna work that way. They are no

491
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,320
Speaker 1: freedom of any Would you take money from those countries,

492
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I wouldn't take a penny. One of the

493
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 1: best things about Trump making this country energy independent. On

494
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: top of we now can bring Russia to its knees,

495
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: bring the hostile regime of Russia, the hostile actor Putin.

496
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: We all agree, it's true. You want to get to

497
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,080
Speaker 1: Putin outproduce him with oil and gas that is the

498
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:54,880
Speaker 1: backbone of his economy. We will drive Russia financially right

499
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 1: into the ground. But then the New Green Deal, of course,

500
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: would stop oil and gas production and take away the

501
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: combustion engine. And you know, if you want to go

502
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: to Europe, no airplane, so you're gonna have to take

503
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: a little sailboat. You know, it's not a windy day.

504
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: Good luck might take longer than you think. And I

505
00:32:12,760 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: don't know how you got to get to Australia, Asia

506
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,720
Speaker 1: or anywhere else. I could see Linda in a sailboat.

507
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: All right, I'm leaving. It was bad enough she left

508
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 1: thirty nine hours before we did to go to Vietnam

509
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 1: and arrive one hour before we did, because she was

510
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: too stubborn to take my plan and not take the

511
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: plan that took you on forty two airplanes that you

512
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,240
Speaker 1: had to transfer on every time you transfer plane. Maybe

513
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,600
Speaker 1: you save ten dollars, but you lost it back in

514
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: terms of your life. I'm never gonna live that down. No,

515
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 1: you never are. That was the dumbest single decision. No

516
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: problem happen to, boss. I know how to do this.

517
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: Let me do it my way. Hey, I can you

518
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: do all the gear? That was your problem? Oh, I'm

519
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: aware it was my problem. Thank you exactly. Directory that

520
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 1: the FBI and its agents spied into the twenty sixteen

521
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: presidential campaign operation, well again, I want to be careful

522
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,080
Speaker 1: about how I answer that question here, because there is

523
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: an ongoing inspector General investigation. I have my own thoughts

524
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 1: based on limited information I've seen so far, but I

525
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: don't think it would be ripe or appropriate for me

526
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 1: to share those at this stage. And at this time,

527
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: do you have any evidence that any illegal surveillance into

528
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 1: the campaigns or individuals associated with the campaigns by the

529
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:32,280
Speaker 1: FBI occurred. I don't think I personally have any evidence

530
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: of that sort. Mister Poppadopolis got this offer of cooperation

531
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: from the Russians. In essence, the FBI set about trying

532
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: to figure out what he knew, and they wanted to

533
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:48,280
Speaker 1: do it secretly, so they arranged a meeting in London.

534
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: With an informant, a professor named Stephan Helper and a

535
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: woman named asa A Turk who was a government investigator

536
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 1: that the FBI had sent to London to work with

537
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: the informant. And is it clear why the decision was

538
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,320
Speaker 1: made by the FBI to send this particular investigator to London.

539
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,640
Speaker 1: Um this this person would play the role of Stephen

540
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 1: Hooper's research assistant, and I thought the FBI believe she would,

541
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: she would make a good fit. I think I think

542
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: part of the rationale was also to have an American

543
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: investigator there who could provide some oversight and make sure

544
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: this operation stayed on the rails. But at this moment,

545
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: nobody's provided any evidence that the FBI actually committed wrongdoing.

546
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,959
Speaker 1: They were they were simply being aggressive when it came

547
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 1: to a what they say is a lawfully predicated investigation,

548
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: though an extraordinary one. All right, hour two Sean Hannity show,

549
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: right down our toll free number. It's eight hundred and

550
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,439
Speaker 1: ninety four one, Sean. You want to be a part

551
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,280
Speaker 1: of the program. That is Adam Goldman. He was the

552
00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:02,239
Speaker 1: New York Times reporter that Yeah talked about there is

553
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: real spying, was real spying on the Trump campaign. As

554
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,480
Speaker 1: we now get more of the details as it relates

555
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: to the setup of Popadopoulos, you have this young, thirty flirtatious,

556
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: blonde bombshell now added to the mix. Her name is

557
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: as were a Turk we now know an FBI agent.

558
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: And he goes on to say that the article on

559
00:35:24,760 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 1: spying shows what the FBI was doing was lawful, not nefarious.

560
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily agree with that conclusion at all. And

561
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 1: the other questions surrounding how many people were spied on,

562
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: how many spies were involved, and as George Popidoppolo said

563
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 1: on his program, he does not believe that this was

564
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: the FBI at all. He says that was the one

565
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,439
Speaker 1: thing that The New York Times he believes got wrong

566
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: in a big way. And he says he meets this woman,

567
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: she reached out to him, and all of a sudden,

568
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:00,040
Speaker 1: she's making it known that she's available and being a

569
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: flirtatious if he would just give a little bit of

570
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: information which he didn't even have anyway. John Solomon is

571
00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: on this and much more today. We have some other

572
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 1: breaking news as it relates to the deep state. The

573
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 1: You know, even though Muller is over well, now Part

574
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 1: two's Act two begins James Clapper even acknowledging what the

575
00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 1: FBI did meets the Dictionary definition of spying. Finally, Mitch

576
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 1: McConnell says what we've been saying, cases closed on the

577
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: Trump Russia investigation. The FBI director calls bars FISA abuse

578
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:41,399
Speaker 1: investigation appropriate, but on the other hand doesn't see much

579
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: of anything done wrong by the FBI. It's sort of

580
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: like here, no evils, see no evil whatever. John Solomon

581
00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: is going to be breaking I believe a big story

582
00:36:50,280 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: tonight on Hannity. You want to give us a heads

583
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: up of that before we get into this. Sure, yeah, so, Sean,

584
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,239
Speaker 1: We're going to have a new revelation of just how

585
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: much the United States government knew about Christopher Steele's political

586
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 1: motivations and a specific political deadline he had called the election.

587
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,920
Speaker 1: To get this information out, there are new documents that

588
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: are surfacing, documents that were kept from Congress for much

589
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 1: of the last three years. That will be breaking tonight,

590
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: and it will give us some brand new insight into

591
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 1: who knew that Christopher Steele was really politically motivated, who

592
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: was he telling and what was his deadline and his

593
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 1: actual mission from his client. What was his client's mission?

594
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: It turns out it wasn't to be a good FBI informer.

595
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 1: It had a lot more to do with election dirty tricks.

596
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: And these documents will be despositive. They will also be

597
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: pretty shocking that for three years they've flown out of

598
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 1: our radar, and even places like the House Intelligence Committee

599
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: were not allowed to see the documents that I'm about

600
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: to air tonight. So hopefully it'll be an important story.

601
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: It'll further cement that the FBI was misleading the fist

602
00:37:56,480 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: accord about its knowledges. The thing that nobody's really seemingly

603
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: understanding in the in the media mob is that it's

604
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: been self evident what happened here from day one, that

605
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: this plan to exonerate Hillary without even a real investigation

606
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: because she was the favored candidate, that is illegal, and

607
00:38:18,280 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: the people involved in that were obstructing real justice themselves

608
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: by doing as much. Then, of course, you know, we

609
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 1: have all these this talk about Mueller testifying. I'm like, okay,

610
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 1: Muller testify, when did you know there was no collusion?

611
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: John Dowd says, you knew a year ago, that you

612
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 1: told him a year ago that there was no effort,

613
00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: no collusion by the Trump campaign. I'd like to know

614
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: how you know your mandate was so broad. You can

615
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: get in a taxi, medallions, loan applications, FARA violations, and taxes,

616
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: but you can't get into the dirty Russian dossier that

617
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,480
Speaker 1: even the New York Times is suggesting is Russian disinformation

618
00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 1: that was paid for to influence the twenty sixteen campaign.

619
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,880
Speaker 1: How did you avoid that topic altogether? Yeah, so, I

620
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 1: think ye, that may be a really important question, Sean.

621
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: It could be that Mueller determined very quickly that the

622
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:14,120
Speaker 1: dossier was bad information, or that the government as a

623
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:17,320
Speaker 1: whole had already concluded that, which would mean the origins

624
00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: of the Mueller investigation were tainted. Right. It meant that

625
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: he was investigating something that government had already concluded was

626
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 1: a false allegation. I think if he does testify in

627
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: May fifteenth, the Republicans will be able to draw out

628
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: a large part of their story about what they've always

629
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,920
Speaker 1: feared about the dossier, about when the Russia collusion angle

630
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: was completely debunked or set aside as fiction. And I

631
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:45,279
Speaker 1: think that the Dems may have more to lose in

632
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: his testimony than they're appreciating right now. Well, I mean,

633
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: let's get to the bottom line here is there explained

634
00:39:53,040 --> 00:39:57,239
Speaker 1: the avalanche of information. And first you agree with me

635
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,440
Speaker 1: because everything I'm saying is predicated on bars test stimony

636
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:04,240
Speaker 1: last week that he's finished with the Muller Report. It's over,

637
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: He's not going to change his mind. So anything we

638
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:11,480
Speaker 1: hear from this point forward is basically noise about the

639
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: Mueller Report. Do you agree with that? It is? It's

640
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: just a side show to distract this from Act two.

641
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: As I've said on your show at night, Sean, I

642
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:20,799
Speaker 1: think this is a stage show. And in the old

643
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:23,000
Speaker 1: days when they had summer theater, when they were changing

644
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 1: the set, they didn't want people to pay attention on stage.

645
00:40:25,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: They'd send a minstrel on a mi amount to entertain

646
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:29,960
Speaker 1: the crowd and keep you distracted. What's going on with

647
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: all of this stuff in Congress and Mueller and bar

648
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:35,759
Speaker 1: is really a sideshow because on the main stage, we

649
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 1: are transitioning from Russia collusion, which turned out to be

650
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 1: a fiction build as a nonfiction story, and we're now

651
00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 1: moving to this thing called accountability in the FIE abuses

652
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: and in the FBI's conduct of spying on a political campaign.

653
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 1: That is going to be the story that everyone will

654
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:56,439
Speaker 1: be paying attention to this summer and fall. I think

655
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 1: you're right, and there's this avalanche of information that is coming.

656
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,720
Speaker 1: All right, So you know what we have here now, though,

657
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 1: is we're getting a little bit closer into the Obama administration.

658
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 1: How high up do you think this is now beginning

659
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,480
Speaker 1: to go? I mean, the closed door testimony has been

660
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:14,480
Speaker 1: very revealing because struck in page they're saying a lot

661
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 1: of interesting things, not the least of which is this

662
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:19,680
Speaker 1: goes right into the office of the Attorney General at

663
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: the time, that would be Laretta Lynch, and she was

664
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: making all the decisions. They're also confirming that after the

665
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 1: nine month investigation by the FBI before the appointment of Mueller,

666
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:31,640
Speaker 1: there was no there there and they didn't have any

667
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: evidence of so called Trump Russia collusion, which backs up

668
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:40,680
Speaker 1: the Muller report. And they're also now beginning to turn

669
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: on each other. It seems a circular firing squad among

670
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: those in the deep state that have abused power. That's

671
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,840
Speaker 1: absolutely what's going on. And I think one of the

672
00:41:49,880 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: more interesting developments when you look at what we're going

673
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 1: to report tonight, Sean, there was no reason for Christopher

674
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: Steele to be at the State Department, none whatsoever. He's

675
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: a control old FBI informant, allegedly working on a counterintelligence investigation,

676
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: and yet he is inside the State Department three weeks

677
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,720
Speaker 1: before the election, passing around the same information he already

678
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 1: given to the FBI, and most importantly, talking about the

679
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 1: election as a deadline, talking about his need to get

680
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: this information out before the election. By definition what he

681
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,320
Speaker 1: told the State Department, by what he told Bruce, or

682
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 1: by his own actions in going to the media and leaking,

683
00:42:30,360 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 1: he was carrying out a political dirty trick time to

684
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 1: the election, and yet the FBI portrayed him as an

685
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 1: informant with credible, relevant information with no derogatory background. All

686
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: of these biases has anti Trump hatred. His desire to

687
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 1: contact the media, his desire to spread his information outside

688
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 1: the FBI not only violated the FBI's informant rules, it

689
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 1: was evidence that this was a political dirty trick. It

690
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 1: was not a normal counterintelligence informant trying to develop a

691
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,920
Speaker 1: normal case, and the fbis eilure to stop it, to

692
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 1: acknowledge what it really was. Before the court is really

693
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,799
Speaker 1: what we're going to learn painfully about in the next

694
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 1: half of this year. And to remind everybody, Christopher Steele,

695
00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 1: he was hired by well really with Clinton campaign and

696
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:18,960
Speaker 1: DNC money she controlled, with funneled money through Perkins Cooey,

697
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:22,200
Speaker 1: a law firm. They hired Fusion GPS, an op research firm,

698
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: they hired Steele. And you're basically saying that Steele had

699
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: a mandate and a deadline, and he had contacts. How

700
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: high up did his contacts go and how many people

701
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 1: knew that he had this hatred towards Donald Trump an agenda.

702
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: You're going to find out that he was meeting the

703
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 1: very senior State Department official, and that State Department official

704
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: immediately relay the information she just got to others in

705
00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: the government, and the government is trying to hide who

706
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 1: she emailed right now and what she specifically told them.

707
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 1: But it is clear there's no way for the FBI

708
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 1: to argue anymore they did not know about Christopher Steele's

709
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:02,200
Speaker 1: political motivations, his client, his deadline, his election obsession, his

710
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:05,560
Speaker 1: hatred for Trump before they went to the FI support.

711
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:08,239
Speaker 1: These documents will be despositive and I think by the

712
00:44:08,320 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: end of this week or early next week, we're going

713
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: to be realizing that everybody knew this was a Hillary

714
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: Clinton operation, not not just but but didn't Bruce that,

715
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: But Bruce or did tell everybody in the FBI and

716
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,040
Speaker 1: DOJ and as I understand that even Andrew Weissman, they

717
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:27,799
Speaker 1: pick bull from Muller. He told them all that this

718
00:44:27,840 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 1: was Hillary Clinton's bought and paid for Russian dossier, none

719
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: of it was verified, and that Steele hated he hated

720
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: Donald Trump. Didn't he say that in August of twenty sixteen,

721
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: before the first FISE application in October YEP, Absolutely all

722
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 1: of this was known before the FIST application was submitted.

723
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,399
Speaker 1: And now if you go back with what we're gonna

724
00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: learn today and what we learned over the last few

725
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: weeks with the Bruce or stuff that you and I

726
00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: dug up in others, you're gonna see an amazing thing

727
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,400
Speaker 1: going on inside the FBI. Go back to those text

728
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,440
Speaker 1: messages of Pete Stroke and Lisa Page. Men were the

729
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: famous the f up. We've got to get this thing done.

730
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,680
Speaker 1: I'm fighting with justice. If this was a good FISA,

731
00:45:04,719 --> 00:45:06,440
Speaker 1: there was no reason to be fighting over there'd be

732
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 1: no reason for pressure What was going on in the

733
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: FBI is they knew that Steele was going rogue on them,

734
00:45:11,760 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: he was going political, that he was always political, and

735
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: that he had this election deadline, and they're panicking that

736
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,799
Speaker 1: they might not get that FI in before the cat

737
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,040
Speaker 1: gets out of the bag. And you can see now

738
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: when you look back at those text messages that panic

739
00:45:24,239 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: of the FBI agents. They were trying to get it

740
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 1: pass fisucord before they would have to tell the fisuchord.

741
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 1: Guess what this guy's a dirty political tricks are on

742
00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: the DNC in Hillary Culton's payroll. That's what's going on

743
00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:37,719
Speaker 1: in October and that should concern us all that a

744
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:41,880
Speaker 1: FISA process was used or infected by politics. John Solomon

745
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 1: breaking a big story tonight about Christopher Steele. This is

746
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: now going to blow this thing wide open. Everybody knew

747
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 1: that this was phony Russian disinformation paid for by Hillary,

748
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: and they still used it as the bulk of information

749
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,320
Speaker 1: for the FISA warrant. This is now the second or

750
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 1: third bit of evidence we have now been able to

751
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 1: gather that everybody knew. Now this is definitive evidence. Tonight

752
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: at nine, John Solomon, investigative reporter, will be breaking this

753
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:16,319
Speaker 1: news about Christopher Steele tonight, but there's still more to come, like,

754
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: for example, the President in his interview with Katherine Herridge

755
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: last week said, very soon, we're going to be getting

756
00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: the fives Applications, Gang of eight information. We're going to

757
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:33,160
Speaker 1: be getting you know, three O two's and the five

758
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: buckets of Solomon. We'll call it if you will. Actually,

759
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 1: I think we have to give credit to Devin Dunis.

760
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: I think it's his five buckets. Yeah, well, you know

761
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: he's not here, so I'll give it to you. Yeah,

762
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 1: all right, I'll take it. Yeah, you're right, Sean. There

763
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: is a moment of transparency, and I think the thing

764
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm most interested in if you remember about a year ago,

765
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: we talked about a column I wrote called the London

766
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,839
Speaker 1: Bridges Falling Down the Curious Origins of the Russia Case,

767
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: and in that we talked about the events that predate

768
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,880
Speaker 1: the FBI opening a criminal investigation, predate even that Turkish

769
00:47:04,880 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: woman intercepting with Papadopolis in September in London. Something was

770
00:47:10,239 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 1: going on in the winter in spring of twenty sixteen

771
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 1: that we don't fully understand. It looks to be a

772
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: more sophisticated operation, maybe letting a breadcrumb trail for the

773
00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: FBI to ultimately open up an investigation. Who was involved

774
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: in that? Was that fusion GPS? Was it? George Suros

775
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: was at the CIA? Those are the questions that the

776
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 1: documents the President can declassify may answer for us. And

777
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: I'm hoping to look back at that period. I think

778
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: January to July is far more significant to this ruse

779
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:41,960
Speaker 1: that it was played in twenty sixteen than what we've

780
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:44,799
Speaker 1: previously known, And I think getting answers to who did

781
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 1: what and what was set in motion may explain how

782
00:47:47,560 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 1: we ended up where we did on election Day and afterwards.

783
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 1: All Right, John Solomon, we'll see you at this new

784
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,280
Speaker 1: news tonight. We'll break it on Hannity nine, Eastern Fox

785
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 1: News Channel. As the media still obsesses over something that

786
00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 1: is now officially dead, it won't stop them that can't

787
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 1: help themselves. All right, eight hundred and ninety four one, Sean,

788
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,280
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program,

789
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: all right, when we come back, an American hero pardoned

790
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 1: by the President, he'll tell his story first. Right here.

791
00:48:15,680 --> 00:48:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm not about to be in the male kill a woman.

792
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 1: What you would he about it. He has the right

793
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 1: to make a seen us I directular. Is it some

794
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 1: kids and unwanted? So you kill them, now kill them later.

795
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: You're begging me in the world on one love seemed

796
00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:34,720
Speaker 1: sit to kill him, now kill them later. The economy

797
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: added more than a quarter million jobs, better than economists expected.

798
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 1: Unappointment is at its lowest level in almost fifty years.

799
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,840
Speaker 1: Wages grew faster than prices did. Do you give President

800
00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: Trump the credit? I give our workers and our businesses

801
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 1: the credit, Jake. When you're out there across the country,

802
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,840
Speaker 1: you see people working harder and harder every day, and

803
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,280
Speaker 1: this is meant that we are our businesses are strong,

804
00:48:57,400 --> 00:49:00,399
Speaker 1: and we're selling American cuts. That being said, a lot

805
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 1: of people aren't sharing in this prosperity because of the costs,

806
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,879
Speaker 1: the cost of college, the cost of healthcare, the fact

807
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,799
Speaker 1: that the President had promised that he would bring down

808
00:49:10,880 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: the prices of their prescription drugs and that just hasn't happened.

809
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,319
Speaker 1: Unemployment is the lowest it's been since I was nine

810
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:19,480
Speaker 1: months old. You're really not going to give President from

811
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:21,760
Speaker 1: any credit for that in terms of his tax cuts

812
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: or deregulation or anything he's done. You know what I'm

813
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 1: thinking about. I'm thinking about when we were in that

814
00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 1: downturn and President Obama came into office and he had

815
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 1: to deal with that with the Congress to try to

816
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,960
Speaker 1: one write the financial industry and then two get us

817
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: on the road to recovery. And I remember that the

818
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 1: Republicans were giving him grief when he took any credit

819
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: for that. So I think that we have had policies

820
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:51,600
Speaker 1: in place, starting with President Obama, that have aided that recovery.

821
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,680
Speaker 1: Are you concerned that impeachment talk may actually help the

822
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: president's reelection. I'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president,

823
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,080
Speaker 1: he will get reelected. If we don't impeach him, he

824
00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:06,239
Speaker 1: will say he has been vindicated. You have said that

825
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: you think that the Hush to Share Committee should open

826
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: impeachment proceedures. I think they should begin the process. I

827
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: do think they should begin the process. Of course, she

828
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:16,400
Speaker 1: thinks they should begin the process. And the only one

829
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 1: speaking the truth and all that was Al Green. You

830
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 1: got this Alabama Democratic state representative, you know, going after

831
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 1: Donald Trump Junior, you know, using the R word, which

832
00:50:30,200 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 1: I guess now you're not allowed to use it. And

833
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 1: then saying he's the best defense for having an abortion.

834
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:39,799
Speaker 1: It doesn't get but al Green's saying something that's true. Oh,

835
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 1: we better impeach him because otherwise he's going to get reelected,

836
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,120
Speaker 1: an acknowledgement that yeah, he's gonna get reelected. You know.

837
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:50,279
Speaker 1: But this is all part of the media madness in

838
00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 1: this country. I look, I think, as I said yesterday,

839
00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: it's worse than it was on election night twenty sixteen.

840
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:02,400
Speaker 1: And the mass psychosis that then followed, and the hatred

841
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,720
Speaker 1: and the rage is you know, they all thought Mueller,

842
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: which is now officially dead. There's no more Mueller talk

843
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: that is of any significance or meaning whatsoever. All it

844
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 1: is now is noise and Gerald Nadler trying to put

845
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:23,360
Speaker 1: on a show and moving towards some type of contempt

846
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,840
Speaker 1: effort against the Attorney General because he wants to change

847
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:29,879
Speaker 1: a rule that's been established for two hundred and six years.

848
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: Even heat they're afraid to, I guess interview bar by themselves.

849
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:36,879
Speaker 1: They want their lawyers to do it. Well, that has

850
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 1: not happened in the two hundred and six year history

851
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 1: of the House Judiciary Committee of which he is now

852
00:51:43,120 --> 00:51:48,239
Speaker 1: the chairman. Not once, uh so, Barr is saying, well,

853
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: I'm I'm glad. Of course, Congress has the right to oversight,

854
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,719
Speaker 1: but oversight by the people that were elected that are

855
00:51:56,719 --> 00:52:02,279
Speaker 1: accountable to their to their stituents, not strangers because we're

856
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,359
Speaker 1: too weak to do the job. It doesn't work that way,

857
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats. What to cover for you?

858
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,160
Speaker 1: Eight hundred nine four one Shawn Tulfrey a telephone number.

859
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: Were joined by Kaylee mcinanny, National Press secretary for Trump

860
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:19,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, and Jeff Lord. He has a new book

861
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: coming out called The Swamp Wars, Donald Trump and the

862
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: New American Populism and the Old versus the Old Daughter.

863
00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: Well that's not you know, I think a lot of

864
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 1: the hatred of Trump, Jeff and welcome back both of you,

865
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: is it's all rooted in the fact that he's not them.

866
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: He's never going to be them. If he cured cancer,

867
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:42,320
Speaker 1: gave every American five million dollars co opted, even the

868
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,720
Speaker 1: New Green Deal agenda dropped another one hundred and fifty

869
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: billion dollars on the tarmacs of the Mullas in Iran,

870
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: they'd still hate him, Yeah, they would sewn and you know,

871
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that really drives this

872
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,879
Speaker 1: is that he could have been one of them, had

873
00:52:56,960 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 1: he chosen to be so. I mean, this is a

874
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 1: guy who who went to an Ivy League school there

875
00:53:02,040 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 1: at the University of Pennsylvania, and he's made himself into

876
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:08,240
Speaker 1: a billionaire. How easy would it have been for Donald

877
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 1: Trump to be one of them? He not only doesn't

878
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 1: want to be one of them, I mean, he just

879
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:16,120
Speaker 1: rejects them out of hand, and they hate him for it.

880
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: They just cann out of bide them. Well, I mean,

881
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: you are one of the few of us that saw

882
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:24,880
Speaker 1: it coming. I'm beginning now to think, Kaylee mcinnanny, that

883
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, it was so bad post twenty sixteen, Remember

884
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: the EGXIT polls showed that Donald Trump didn't win a state,

885
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 1: and just like two thousand and four, it showed John

886
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 1: Kerry was going to be the next president. And I

887
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 1: don't think this president in particular, polls very well just

888
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: by virtue of the vote. I don't think. I think

889
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:46,879
Speaker 1: a lot of people are like, we're not you don't

890
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,560
Speaker 1: ask me your nosy questions who I'm voting for. It's

891
00:53:49,600 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 1: none of your business. And frankly, if anyone asked me,

892
00:53:53,080 --> 00:53:55,919
Speaker 1: I probably would have said Hillary. I never get asked.

893
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:59,799
Speaker 1: I've never been interviewed after I vote. But the point

894
00:53:59,840 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 1: of it is is their reaction from that day forward,

895
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:05,480
Speaker 1: once the night started to roll in and Donald Trump

896
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,440
Speaker 1: became clear as the next president of the United States,

897
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: there's this collective meltdown because nobody saw it coming. Number one,

898
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: and now the Muller Report, it seems that in spite

899
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: of everything we have pointed out for the last two years,

900
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 1: they weren't paying attention and they believed their own lies

901
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 1: about Russia collusion, and now they can't handle the results

902
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:29,959
Speaker 1: of that investigation exactly, and they can't handle the thought

903
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:32,680
Speaker 1: of the president winning re election and then once again

904
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: never seeing it coming. You know, you point out a

905
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,640
Speaker 1: key fact here. I talked to a polster and they said, look,

906
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,399
Speaker 1: double digits. When I went out and pulled a hidden

907
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,160
Speaker 1: Trump voter, tried to find that voter that told the

908
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: poster they were voting Clinton but really voted Trump. He

909
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 1: found them and to a double digit tune. So that's

910
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: why every exit poll was wrong. You know, Jeff and

911
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,400
Speaker 1: I were both on CNN set that night. I remember

912
00:54:54,440 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: the Hillary folks rejoicing sawt exit polls show Trump losing

913
00:54:59,080 --> 00:55:01,400
Speaker 1: and virtually every state, like you noted. But how'd that

914
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 1: work out for that? Jeff and I? By the way,

915
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: when when did they stop going to you guys for commentary?

916
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: And when did the depression begin to set in? Yeah? Exactly. Oh,

917
00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,960
Speaker 1: I was on every single solitary network. I don't work

918
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 1: election nights. I don't waste my time for the five

919
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: seconds they'll put me on on Fox, so I stay home,

920
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:22,480
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm I'm looking up Cuyahoga County, in

921
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Hamilton County, and you know, southwest Florida, the Panhandle and

922
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 1: Broward and Palm Beach counties to see if there's any

923
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,799
Speaker 1: cheating going on. And that's how I like to spend

924
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:36,600
Speaker 1: my election nights. I'm going to the stories I tell.

925
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,400
Speaker 1: Is there The Saturday before the before Halloween in twenty sixteen,

926
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:43,360
Speaker 1: I put my then ninety seven year old mom in

927
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: the car to guard in the countryside and get pumpkins,

928
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:49,719
Speaker 1: and I noticed there were Trump signs everywhere, hundreds of them.

929
00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:53,120
Speaker 1: I started counting there was one hilly signs. I get

930
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 1: to CNN on the following Monday. I tell that story

931
00:55:56,880 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: on the air, and they're all working me like I'm alone,

932
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 1: and they're saying, Yeff, Jeff, Jeff, up, polling data, up,

933
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: polling data. I mean, I tried to tell them there

934
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:10,440
Speaker 1: was something going on here, this is coming, it's you know,

935
00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:13,640
Speaker 1: I'm just not seeing it. Therefore in the middle of Pennsylvania,

936
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: and they just you know, wouldn't believe it. Well, I

937
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:20,240
Speaker 1: have listen. There was a funny thing because Joe Biden,

938
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: I know, he went to UNI gave a union speech,

939
00:56:23,520 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: and I mean he acknowledges that if he can't win,

940
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,279
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania's not gonna win. Here's the problem. The economy in

941
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,799
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is so strong right now that they're actually going

942
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:37,080
Speaker 1: inside of prisons asking the prisoners when are you getting out?

943
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: Because we want to hire you. M's a that's a

944
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 1: big problem. We now have one point seven million more

945
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,880
Speaker 1: jobs available than we have people on unemployment. I mean

946
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: I drive around this area. All I see are not

947
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,759
Speaker 1: all but I certainly see more and more, plenty of

948
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:59,160
Speaker 1: plenty of now hiring funage. They're all over the place, sure, exactly,

949
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:00,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's the point. I think, you know,

950
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 1: how do you win in that economy? But that economy

951
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:07,800
Speaker 1: so strong. Yeah, you know that anybody that wants a

952
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: job is working. That's why we have record low unemployment,

953
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 1: a fifty year record low unemployment numbers in the country.

954
00:57:15,400 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: Now what they can't figure out is, well, it happened

955
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,720
Speaker 1: when Reagan was president. Now it's happening again when when

956
00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: Trump is president. It's the same policies that they put

957
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 1: in place, eliminating the bureaucracy, cutting back needless and burden

958
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 1: some regulation, and lowering taxes and incentivizing investment. It's not

959
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: that hard, Kayley. It's exactly right. Free market policies work.

960
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: We have the hottest economy on record to day maybe

961
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:44,960
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty which was probably right there right there with us.

962
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:48,160
Speaker 1: So you're exactly right. In Pennsylvania you point out lowest

963
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 1: unemployment rate on record, and I can tell you this,

964
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 1: the Democrats aren't going to win by going around and

965
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,960
Speaker 1: putting forth these policies like Joe Biden saying China's not

966
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:01,640
Speaker 1: a threat. Would Meanwhile, a Trump rightfully points out we

967
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 1: lost sixty thousand factories when China entered the WTO It's

968
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: an extraordinary number that even the Washington Post fact checkers,

969
00:58:09,120 --> 00:58:11,240
Speaker 1: who we know are always off base rated as true.

970
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: So you're not going to win going around underestimating the

971
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:17,880
Speaker 1: threats we face from China against the hottest economy on record,

972
00:58:17,960 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 1: brought about by free market policies. So now we've gotten

973
00:58:21,160 --> 00:58:24,400
Speaker 1: an issue that everybody pretty much in the media, there

974
00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 1: is a very small group of us that saw an

975
00:58:27,480 --> 00:58:31,760
Speaker 1: entirely different set of facts emerging the last two years,

976
00:58:32,280 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: and that is, oh, a rigged investigation into Hillary Clinton's

977
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:40,520
Speaker 1: email server, real obstruction of justice. Then we saw a

978
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:44,240
Speaker 1: dirty Russian dossier bought and paid for by Clinton with

979
00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:48,120
Speaker 1: funneled money to Fusion GPS through a law firm hiring

980
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:50,400
Speaker 1: a guy that we're going to break a big story

981
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 1: tonight with our friend John Solomon about how everybody knew

982
00:58:55,080 --> 00:58:58,480
Speaker 1: what Christopher Steele's agenda was and they still used his

983
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,680
Speaker 1: dirty dossier, which The New York Times is even suggesting

984
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: could be Russian disinformation from the get go. How does

985
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: Mueller justify not going into that issue? But that became

986
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: then the basis of these four FISA warrant applications, the

987
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:17,680
Speaker 1: original in October twenty sixteen to spy on the Trump campaign.

988
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 1: Now we've got stefan helper spying on the Trump campaign.

989
00:59:21,400 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 1: And now we've got the added component of some you know,

990
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 1: hot spy coming on to George Papadopoulos flirting with him

991
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 1: in an attempt. How many spies were there, how many

992
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: attempts to spy on the Trump campaign were there? And

993
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,560
Speaker 1: who ordered it? And why wasn't any of that looked

994
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 1: into by Muller. I mean, that's absolutely right, and it's sound.

995
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: The thing that I think is so notable here, it's

996
00:59:48,360 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 1: all these people that you have had on your show

997
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: for the last two years have very patiently and relentlessly

998
00:59:54,960 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 1: spent time unraveling the facts. Meanwhile, the mainstream media has

999
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: going out of its way to ignore the facts and

1000
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 1: bet the ranch on some collusion fantasy that just simply

1001
01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: never happened. I mean, it is the most massive piece

1002
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 1: of journalism malpractice that I think we've ever seen in

1003
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:16,240
Speaker 1: American history. That is a big story in and of

1004
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:19,160
Speaker 1: itself right there. Oh, I think it is too, And

1005
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, do they care about the truth? No?

1006
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 1: Now has anybody in the media apologized. No, They just

1007
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:28,960
Speaker 1: doubled down on stupid and I think it was bad

1008
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 1: their reaction of the twenty sixteen election results. It's even

1009
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 1: worse to the Muller report that they put so much faith,

1010
01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 1: hope and trust in didn't come out the way they wanted.

1011
01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:40,200
Speaker 1: Kaylee and I just thinking that at the end of

1012
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 1: the day, they're never gonna change. There's never any hope

1013
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 1: for them. They are agenda driven at the highest level possible.

1014
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 1: That's exactly right, and they commit journalist sick malpractice regularly. Look,

1015
01:00:52,440 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: you know you've reported on these huge scandals that have happened.

1016
01:00:56,360 --> 01:01:00,000
Speaker 1: If investigation started on a fraudulent document funded by Demos,

1017
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:02,360
Speaker 1: there's not been a single prosecution, by the way. But

1018
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: last week you have a New York Times finally confirming, Hey,

1019
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 1: there were human sources on Popadopolis more than what we knew.

1020
01:01:10,200 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: How many networks picked up that coverage. How many newspapers

1021
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,120
Speaker 1: ran with that coverage. None? Because they have an agenda,

1022
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: they're not going to change, and they're going to derelict

1023
01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,320
Speaker 1: their duty to report the facts and be journalists. They

1024
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: don't deserve that title that they hold. You know, you

1025
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: just watch CNN Fake News. You know there's Wolfie Blitzer

1026
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 1: asking will they throw the US attorney in jail? You know,

1027
01:01:32,480 --> 01:01:36,760
Speaker 1: they're talking now such insanity that they'll send the Sergeant

1028
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: of Arms to capture the Attorney General and bring them

1029
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 1: in and handcuffs before Congress, as if that's going to happen.

1030
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is how I'm sane. Then you've got NBC,

1031
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: this guy, what's his name, the guy before Rachel Maddow, somebody, Hayes.

1032
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 1: I don't know this guy's any christ. So he actually

1033
01:01:55,920 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 1: has a theory about a conspiracy where millions of millions

1034
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: of business owners were secretly plotting to damage Obama's economy

1035
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:08,880
Speaker 1: and then now they're secretly plotting together to benefit the

1036
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: Trump economy. And he's making these statements. I mean, how

1037
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: do you how do you advance something that nuts? Not?

1038
01:02:19,600 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: For nothing? Do you call them conspiracy TV? I mean

1039
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:27,960
Speaker 1: it is just a stunning to watch. I thought to myself,

1040
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: the real invisible headline here is Kennedy was right, but

1041
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 1: we don't want to say it. No. Listen, Yeah, I'm

1042
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 1: sure that the hell will freeze over first, Jeff Lord,

1043
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: thanks for being with us. Kenley mcdaney, thank you. When

1044
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:45,479
Speaker 1: we come back. The President has granted clemency a full

1045
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 1: pardon for former Army First Lieutenant Michael B. Hannah of Oklahoma.

1046
01:02:51,920 --> 01:02:54,920
Speaker 1: He'll join us in his first interview, and he had

1047
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,280
Speaker 1: been sentenced to twenty five years in prison for quote,

1048
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 1: unpremeditated order in a combat zone. President did a huge

1049
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 1: did the right thing. When you get to the details

1050
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 1: of this case that's coming up next to this, we

1051
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:12,320
Speaker 1: can toinue coming up next our final news round up

1052
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 1: and information overload. Hour's it's hard to put in words.

1053
01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:21,360
Speaker 1: It's to u seeing for eleven went for the first time.

1054
01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, when when I got locked up and sent

1055
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 1: to eleven word, it was it was one or two

1056
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning, so I didn't get to see

1057
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 1: what the folks look like. And the only thing I've

1058
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,920
Speaker 1: seen for the past five years is years concrete and

1059
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:41,720
Speaker 1: a little bit of grass fence and razor wire. And

1060
01:03:41,840 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 1: so this morning when they put me on the van

1061
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:50,200
Speaker 1: and took me to meet up with you guys and

1062
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: at emotions, it's it's hard to describe. It's hard to

1063
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:57,120
Speaker 1: put in the words. Uh, it's a it was a

1064
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: good feeling, and then it's it's a it's a date.

1065
01:04:00,880 --> 01:04:05,400
Speaker 1: What you heard there was former Army first Lieutenant Michael

1066
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:10,760
Speaker 1: Behenna and him discussing after spending five years in prison,

1067
01:04:11,400 --> 01:04:17,840
Speaker 1: talking about his release earlier yesterday, the President has granted

1068
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: quote today. President Donald J. Trump thus was yesterday signed

1069
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: an executive grant of clemency parentheses full pardon for former

1070
01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:31,360
Speaker 1: Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna of Oklahoma. Now two thousand

1071
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 1: and nine, a military court had sentenced mister Behenna to

1072
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: twenty five years in prison for unpremeditated murder in a

1073
01:04:39,200 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 1: combat zone, and after judgment, however, the US Army's highest

1074
01:04:43,800 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 1: appellate court noted concern about how the trial court had

1075
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:52,320
Speaker 1: handled mister Behenna's claim of self defense. Additionally, the Army

1076
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Clemency and Parole Board reduced a sentence to fifteen years

1077
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,320
Speaker 1: and paroled him as soon as he was eligible in

1078
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:01,760
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, after five years served of his sentence. Upon

1079
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: his release, dozens of Patriot Guard motorcycle writers met mister

1080
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:12,520
Speaker 1: Behenna escort him back to his home in Oklahoma, and

1081
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: his case has attracted broad support from the military. Oklahoma

1082
01:05:16,720 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: elected officials in the public of thirty seven generals admirals,

1083
01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 1: along with the former Inspector General of the Department of Defense,

1084
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,760
Speaker 1: signing a brief in support of mister Behenna's self defense claim.

1085
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: Numerous members of the Oklahoma Congressional delegation, Oklahoma's then Governor

1086
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 1: Mary Fallon at the time, current Oklahoma Attorney General Mike

1087
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,919
Speaker 1: Hunter also expressed support and while serving his sentence, mister

1088
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Behenna was a model prisoner. In light of these facts,

1089
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:51,240
Speaker 1: he is entirely deserving of the executive clemency. But I'm

1090
01:05:51,280 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: not sure. And he joins us right now, I think

1091
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:59,880
Speaker 1: his first interview since yesterday, former Army First Lieutenant Michael Behenna,

1092
01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 1: his mother, Vicki is with us, and also we're joined

1093
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: by the executive director of the Oklahoma Innocence Project, John Richter,

1094
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:12,560
Speaker 1: is with us. Thank you all for being here. We

1095
01:06:12,600 --> 01:06:16,120
Speaker 1: appreciate your time. Uh well, first, thank you for serving

1096
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 1: your country. I get very troubled, Lieutenant, when I hear

1097
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:28,160
Speaker 1: that we're second guessing brave men in battlefield conditions, having

1098
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:31,880
Speaker 1: to make split second decisions, and then you're getting second guest.

1099
01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: And I certainly did not like the rules of engagement

1100
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 1: under the last administration of Barack Obama. Absolutely absolutely. And

1101
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 1: what I tell people is is, uh, don't judge somebody,

1102
01:06:44,280 --> 01:06:46,600
Speaker 1: especially in a combat zone. If you've never been there,

1103
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 1: you have no idea what it's like, and so there

1104
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: are people out there that are going to judge and

1105
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,480
Speaker 1: that's unfortunate. What did it feel like yesterday when President

1106
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 1: I understand called you personally to deliver the news that

1107
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: you would be pardoned. I'll tell you what. Um, it

1108
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:11,960
Speaker 1: was totally unexpected. Uh. Yeah. I was talking on the

1109
01:07:12,040 --> 01:07:15,120
Speaker 1: phone with my dad and and I get a call

1110
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 1: on the other line, and I didn't recognize the number.

1111
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: I just figured it was a solicitor trying to call,

1112
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:23,360
Speaker 1: and so I didn't I didn't answer it. Well, they

1113
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 1: left a message. After I got off the phone with

1114
01:07:25,640 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 1: my dad, I listened to the message, and uh, the

1115
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: woman said, Lieutenant Behanna, this is Molly from President Trump's office.

1116
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 1: He would like to talk to you, and if you

1117
01:07:37,400 --> 01:07:39,439
Speaker 1: would please give a call back when you get a chance.

1118
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 1: That's not that might be a message you saved for

1119
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:45,840
Speaker 1: a few years, right. Well, I still I still have

1120
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: it my phone, and I plan on hanging onto it.

1121
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:50,720
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think I might hang on to that,

1122
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 1: maybe make a recording of it. Um. Let's go back

1123
01:07:54,720 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 1: to what happened here you and this is April two

1124
01:07:57,640 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 1: thousand and eight. You were a young command right, you

1125
01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: had a seventeen man platoon as I understand it, Yeah,

1126
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: eighteen man platoon. Okay, And you guys were struck, Your

1127
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 1: men were struck by a massive IED. You lost two

1128
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 1: of your soldiers is that true? And others were severely injured. Well,

1129
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 1: there were there were four people killed that day, two

1130
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:22,120
Speaker 1: of them were my soldiers, yes, and several wounded. And

1131
01:08:22,520 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: after the attack, you were reading the intelligence reports which

1132
01:08:26,320 --> 01:08:28,720
Speaker 1: you drew a connection, which is your job, between the

1133
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:33,000
Speaker 1: IED and an Al Qaida operative named Ali Monsour? Is

1134
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:38,080
Speaker 1: that true? And then an army intelligence report specifically cited

1135
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 1: Monsour as someone who transports explosives to kill Americans for

1136
01:08:44,200 --> 01:08:48,280
Speaker 1: the terror group. Correct, absolutely, yes, okay, So now take

1137
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:52,479
Speaker 1: us from that moment. While you were transporting you actually

1138
01:08:52,640 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: were able to get this guy. Correct, You took him

1139
01:08:54,600 --> 01:08:58,920
Speaker 1: into custody. Yes, all right, now you're taking him home

1140
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: and bring us into the interrogation of this guy. And

1141
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:09,120
Speaker 1: what happened in that interrogation room. So the interrogation was

1142
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:14,759
Speaker 1: done on my behalf because he was he was released.

1143
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: And I know some people are going to say, well,

1144
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: why was he released? He was released because at the

1145
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,560
Speaker 1: time you had to have two intelligence reports on a

1146
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: detainee in order to keep that detainee for further questioning

1147
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 1: and possible further detention. Well that the army had said

1148
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 1: they only had one report, which there were there were more,

1149
01:09:36,880 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 1: but there there there's other things that that were in

1150
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,280
Speaker 1: play in order for months order to get released anyway,

1151
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 1: So I end up wanting to question him, of course,

1152
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:53,320
Speaker 1: to get more intel out of him, because information in

1153
01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 1: intel's what runs a counterinsurgency, which is what we were

1154
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:01,519
Speaker 1: fighting at the time. And so um fast forward to

1155
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:07,720
Speaker 1: me taking Monsour out to the culvert to question him.

1156
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 1: I told him I wanted some specific information, which was

1157
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to know the others that were in play.

1158
01:10:17,760 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: In other words, you wanted to learn what other people

1159
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,560
Speaker 1: will are involved in this Al Qaeda cell, right, that

1160
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: were killing American soldiers so you could protect your fellow

1161
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: soldiers from future attacks like what you witnessed when you

1162
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:37,839
Speaker 1: lost four guys in a day too from your particular platoon,

1163
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, And so I'm trying to get this

1164
01:10:43,880 --> 01:10:47,640
Speaker 1: information out of him, and of course he's he's a

1165
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: seasoned Al Qaeda terrorists, and of course he doesn't just

1166
01:10:52,160 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 1: answer questions anytime you ask them. So there are techniques

1167
01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 1: that are used in order to get information out of

1168
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: people like that. And you aren't torturing him. You aren't

1169
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:06,799
Speaker 1: waterboarding the guy. I don't think waterboarding is torture anyway,

1170
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: but you would nothing. You're just using basic interrogation techniques correct, well,

1171
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:18,120
Speaker 1: basic and basic for for over there, one of which

1172
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 1: was pointing a weapon at Montsour and and uh trying

1173
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: to get information out of him, because he would say

1174
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:30,920
Speaker 1: I don't know to every question I asked him, he

1175
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 1: kept saying I don't know, I don't know. So, you know,

1176
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: in order for those techniques to be effective, you have

1177
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,519
Speaker 1: to make it feel like you know, the guy is,

1178
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 1: he's in danger, he's gonna he's gonna die. And I

1179
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 1: was telling him that, and he finally says to my

1180
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:49,400
Speaker 1: interpreter that something that I didn't recognize. And I spoke

1181
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: a little bit of Arabic, but not enough to understand

1182
01:11:51,479 --> 01:11:55,320
Speaker 1: what he said. And so Monsieur said to my my interpreter,

1183
01:11:56,120 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 1: U something I didn't recognize. I turned to my interpreter

1184
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 1: to get the translation, and Monsieur throws a piece of

1185
01:12:04,479 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: concrete at me, which hits right beside my head. And

1186
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,320
Speaker 1: as I turned to look towards monsieur. He's standing up,

1187
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:14,920
Speaker 1: reaching out with his hands towards you know, me and

1188
01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:18,000
Speaker 1: my weapon. And why was he not cuffed? I was

1189
01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 1: he was? He was cuffed. He was cuffed, and we

1190
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:26,439
Speaker 1: had cut the flex cuffs off him along with with

1191
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: his clothes, which was another technique that that unfortunately, I mean,

1192
01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:36,120
Speaker 1: it's used over there. Um you know, it's a technique

1193
01:12:36,160 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 1: that used to humiliate you know, uh um, the guy

1194
01:12:40,600 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: you're questioning. So all right, so the let me get

1195
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 1: to this. So he reaches for your gun and you

1196
01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:50,000
Speaker 1: you're now your life is in jeopardy. You have to

1197
01:12:50,040 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: make a split second decision and you and you kill

1198
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,080
Speaker 1: the guy. Yes, okay, uh I don't think any American

1199
01:12:58,160 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 1: that's not in that situation. I was a right to

1200
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,960
Speaker 1: judge your decision making. And you had witnesses that an

1201
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,600
Speaker 1: interpreter at least that can testify to your account of

1202
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:11,360
Speaker 1: what happened. Correct, Yes, okay, So your story is confirmed.

1203
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:15,360
Speaker 1: It should be case closed here. And then we find

1204
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 1: out later that the court martial that prosecutors didn't notify

1205
01:13:19,800 --> 01:13:23,720
Speaker 1: your defense attorneys, that a forensic expert for the prosecution

1206
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: sided with your version of events. Surrounding the shooting. They

1207
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,960
Speaker 1: held back that exculpatory information. That's correct. Yes, And can

1208
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:34,800
Speaker 1: I just put this is Vicky, if I can just

1209
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:37,840
Speaker 1: put a fine point on that the case during the

1210
01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: court martial, the government never introduced the forensic evidence, the

1211
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:46,759
Speaker 1: forensic evidence which was consistent with well, that's called withholding

1212
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,920
Speaker 1: exculpatory evidence. That's evidence that would have freed your son.

1213
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: That's right. And they sent that expert home so that

1214
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:57,599
Speaker 1: he couldn't testify, didn't testify, but the forensic evidence supported

1215
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: Michael's version of what happened then during the interrogation. Unbelievable story.

1216
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: All right, quick break, We'll love more with former Army

1217
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 1: first Lieutenant Michael Behenna and as mother and also John

1218
01:14:11,520 --> 01:14:15,080
Speaker 1: Richter is with us, as well as the President yesterday

1219
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:18,720
Speaker 1: signing an executive grant of clemency a full pardon for

1220
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:21,120
Speaker 1: the issues we've just been talking about. While more on

1221
01:14:21,160 --> 01:14:23,439
Speaker 1: the other side. He'll also join us on TV tonight

1222
01:14:23,840 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 1: on Hannity nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. All Right,

1223
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:30,200
Speaker 1: as we continue with former Army first Lieutenant Michael Behenna

1224
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:33,600
Speaker 1: and his mom, Vicky Behenna and John Richter are with

1225
01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:37,360
Speaker 1: us as they have now the President yesterday granting. Now

1226
01:14:37,560 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 1: let me bring in John Richter. You know, John, I

1227
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:45,280
Speaker 1: do like the Innocence Project, and Barry Scheck has actually

1228
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: convinced me. Unless there's a video of a murder and

1229
01:14:48,439 --> 01:14:51,639
Speaker 1: somebody getting the death penalty, We've made so many stupid

1230
01:14:51,720 --> 01:14:56,600
Speaker 1: mistakes and some political and some overaggressive prosecutors, I'm not

1231
01:14:56,680 --> 01:14:59,679
Speaker 1: supporting the death penalty unless we got a video. Hey,

1232
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,519
Speaker 1: so I appreciate your posing the question to me, but

1233
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:07,280
Speaker 1: Vicky is actually the executive director in Oklahoma. In addition

1234
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:12,040
Speaker 1: to being Michael's mother, she obviously joined this cause after

1235
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:16,320
Speaker 1: many years as a career federal prosecutor, I've had the

1236
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:21,200
Speaker 1: honor of representing Michael through this pardon process and serving

1237
01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 1: as his lawyer in this pardon process, and as a

1238
01:15:25,400 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: former United States Attorney and former head of the Criminal Division,

1239
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you personally that the actions of the

1240
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:37,160
Speaker 1: prosecution in this case violate all decent standards for fair

1241
01:15:37,320 --> 01:15:41,759
Speaker 1: prosecution of a defendant. And while obviously a pardon process

1242
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:46,560
Speaker 1: was not here to relitigate the case, it nonetheless is

1243
01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:50,040
Speaker 1: an important part of considering whether forgiveness and an act

1244
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 1: of grace. Like the President, as given Michael is appropriate. Well,

1245
01:15:53,960 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: I just don't like the fact, honestly at all, that

1246
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: we now are putting handcuffs on people we put in

1247
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: life and death situations. We're sending these guys out to

1248
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 1: fight wars. Their lives are at risk, We're second guessing

1249
01:16:09,840 --> 01:16:13,280
Speaker 1: what they do, and we're putting handcuffs on them and

1250
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: rules of engagement that are seen that puts their lives

1251
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:21,679
Speaker 1: in jeopardy. I mean, you know, when I hear Michael's

1252
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:25,680
Speaker 1: story about you know, his friends being blown up by ieeds,

1253
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:29,479
Speaker 1: you know, put yourself in his position, and this is

1254
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 1: the guy you believe has the information about where those

1255
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 1: explosives are coming from. I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be

1256
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: polite asking the guy that has the answer to that

1257
01:16:38,800 --> 01:16:42,720
Speaker 1: question that we can save American lives with. That's not

1258
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: a moment to be polite. War is a very dark, ugly, horrible,

1259
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:53,160
Speaker 1: but necessary evil, and our guys are the good guys.

1260
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,800
Speaker 1: You know, Al Qaeda killed three thousand Americans in two

1261
01:16:56,840 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 1: thousand and one. I mean, this is this really piss

1262
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: me off because we're doing this not just to you, Michael,

1263
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:05,920
Speaker 1: We're doing it to too many people. There's a long

1264
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:09,640
Speaker 1: laundry list of guys that are in prison for instances

1265
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,200
Speaker 1: like yours, And I don't think it's fair. We're going

1266
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 1: to ask you to go fight, bleed, die, risk your

1267
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 1: life and many don't come home, or many don't come

1268
01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:21,240
Speaker 1: home with legs and arms. I think we ought to

1269
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 1: be able to put enough faith, hope and trust that

1270
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: you're going to make the right decision and not second

1271
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: guess you right right, Sorry, you got a little worked up. Well,

1272
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: we appreciate the passion. I may ask your mom, it's

1273
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: got to be hell when your son is in Leavenworth

1274
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,760
Speaker 1: for five years. Oh, I would not wish that experience

1275
01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: on my poor enemy. It was you know again, as

1276
01:17:46,320 --> 01:17:48,560
Speaker 1: as John was saying, I mean I when he was

1277
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 1: the US Attorney, I was an assistant High States Attorney

1278
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,240
Speaker 1: working in that office. And you just never think you're

1279
01:17:55,280 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 1: going to have to hire a criminal defense lawyer for

1280
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,160
Speaker 1: your arnswer don't think that's going to happen, and you

1281
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,479
Speaker 1: send him off to combat worried when I sent him

1282
01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: off to combat that. Well, we'll glad your home and

1283
01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you have to go through this. Michael and Vicky.

1284
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: You have a loving mom there for you and family,

1285
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: and I do thank you for serving your country. We

1286
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,120
Speaker 1: owed you better than this though this you did not

1287
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 1: deserve this. This has to stop, and I why don't

1288
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 1: wish you the best in all future endeavors. And we'll

1289
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 1: see you on TV tonight. We get to actually see you, guys.

1290
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 1: You're going to join us and tell your story on television.

1291
01:18:30,600 --> 01:18:32,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see you all right, twenty five

1292
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 1: till the top of the hour, eight hundred nine for one, Shawn,

1293
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of the program.

1294
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 1: Our friends at the Daily Caller they did something really cool,

1295
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,080
Speaker 1: actually hit the streets asking people do they want the

1296
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: wall or do they want open borders. It's interesting because

1297
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: if you read poles by your fake news media industrial complex,

1298
01:18:51,720 --> 01:18:54,000
Speaker 1: I don't think you get straight answers. Let's hear what

1299
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: the people say. What's up America today? We're in DC

1300
01:18:57,560 --> 01:18:58,920
Speaker 1: and we want to know. If you don't like the

1301
01:18:58,960 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 1: border wall, how would you saw illegal immigration. I will

1302
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:06,280
Speaker 1: build a great, great wall completely against the wall. I

1303
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:10,519
Speaker 1: think it's ridiculous, absolutely very bad idea. I think the

1304
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: battle wall would just for the drugs, to be honest,

1305
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: to stop the drugs from coming over. The wall is

1306
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: a wall that Trump invisions. Know, I think it's incredibly

1307
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: unfair and it's going to limit opportunities for a country

1308
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,759
Speaker 1: in the future. What would your ideal solution to illegal

1309
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 1: immigration be? How would you stop it? The best way

1310
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:32,640
Speaker 1: to handle illegal immigration is really enforcing the rules that

1311
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:35,120
Speaker 1: we already have. The best thing to do with me

1312
01:19:35,280 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: to overhaul the laws of the United States and immigration

1313
01:19:40,439 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 1: of law asidems first of all, Okay, that's one, but

1314
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 1: I mean I think, you know, it's a combination of

1315
01:19:46,160 --> 01:19:51,439
Speaker 1: looking at the provisions that we have in place. I

1316
01:19:51,479 --> 01:19:53,400
Speaker 1: think it's a good structure that we have. I don't

1317
01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: agree with illegal immigration. I believe everyboy should freely everybody

1318
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:58,640
Speaker 1: should be able to have a happy life, you know.

1319
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:01,160
Speaker 1: Stopping them from coming over it's kind of growing into

1320
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: chances of having a better future than me. To actually

1321
01:20:04,720 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 1: start better vetting people that are trying to come into

1322
01:20:07,880 --> 01:20:10,800
Speaker 1: the United States. To be honest, in my behalf, it's

1323
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,320
Speaker 1: not harming me at all. To be honest, I say,

1324
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,880
Speaker 1: it's a free country, so I mean herb I should

1325
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:18,759
Speaker 1: be welcome. I mean we all share the same blood.

1326
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean system where people can come in

1327
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:26,320
Speaker 1: an over a period of time, stay clean, and they're

1328
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:31,120
Speaker 1: able to automatically assume president like an assimilation period. Yeah,

1329
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:34,439
Speaker 1: you know, obviously just doing the work a little bit better. Definitely,

1330
01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 1: as I did you say vetting, you know, so obviously

1331
01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:39,240
Speaker 1: we you know, we want to do that. Is there

1332
01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,560
Speaker 1: any limit that you would feel comfortable putting on immigration

1333
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,439
Speaker 1: or now? I don't think so. I think people should

1334
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,120
Speaker 1: be able to move between countries as they please. I

1335
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 1: think it's best for the economy and for the people

1336
01:20:47,920 --> 01:20:50,560
Speaker 1: in them. I'm hesitant to put a limit on it.

1337
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: I believe that we should have restrictions, but ones that

1338
01:20:54,680 --> 01:20:58,120
Speaker 1: make sense for what this country was built on. So

1339
01:20:58,240 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 1: you guys are totally in favor of open borders, like

1340
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:05,519
Speaker 1: no restriction immigration at all. Yeah, yeah, So do you

1341
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 1: think there's a limit on how many people that our

1342
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,600
Speaker 1: country can sustain? Because there should be a limit. You know,

1343
01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:12,600
Speaker 1: you can't just let everybody come over. You should be

1344
01:21:12,600 --> 01:21:15,280
Speaker 1: a limit. I don't know what exactly that the restrictions

1345
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,160
Speaker 1: should say, but definitely not. You know, it just seemed

1346
01:21:18,200 --> 01:21:20,559
Speaker 1: like the tone of the ones that are being put

1347
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,200
Speaker 1: out there now seem to be a little kind of

1348
01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,519
Speaker 1: productive to to to what America stands. I wanted to

1349
01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:28,240
Speaker 1: be overpopulated now because then there's not enough jobs, not

1350
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:31,120
Speaker 1: enough homes, so people to live. That means that creates

1351
01:21:31,200 --> 01:21:37,160
Speaker 1: more problems such as homeless maybe violence, but who knows.

1352
01:21:37,880 --> 01:21:40,120
Speaker 1: So if you have a limit, though, you have to

1353
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: have a way to enforce that, right, So how would

1354
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:46,120
Speaker 1: you guys enforce the limit that? I don't have an

1355
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,040
Speaker 1: answer for that right now, to be honest, that that's

1356
01:21:48,040 --> 01:21:49,680
Speaker 1: a good that's a that's a good question right there

1357
01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:51,599
Speaker 1: that I can't answer. So I would hate to put

1358
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,360
Speaker 1: a limit on it because we're gonna we need people

1359
01:21:53,400 --> 01:21:56,920
Speaker 1: to work. But are you in favor of open border

1360
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: policies at all or no? No, no, not open bord

1361
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: You have every country has a right to regulate the

1362
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 1: number of people and who comes in. So you have

1363
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,280
Speaker 1: to have that kind of interviewing process and you have

1364
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:11,240
Speaker 1: to have that kind of control and background check and

1365
01:22:11,280 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: so for open borders, absolutely, no way. How do you

1366
01:22:13,840 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: feel about open borders policies? I think they're a great

1367
01:22:17,720 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: opportunity if we handle them the right way. It ensures

1368
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: that our country stays very diverse. We can't have people

1369
01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: were running our borders. That's clearly clearly wrong. If whoever

1370
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:31,200
Speaker 1: says that, well, I would say we've got to take

1371
01:22:31,240 --> 01:22:33,960
Speaker 1: their citizenship away. But no, we can't say that. We

1372
01:22:34,080 --> 01:22:36,719
Speaker 1: can't say that programs that we have through the government

1373
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:39,120
Speaker 1: to support people who might be like on welfare for example.

1374
01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:41,760
Speaker 1: Do you think there's a limit for who can have

1375
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:45,720
Speaker 1: access to those programs? Don't? I don't think there should be.

1376
01:22:45,720 --> 01:22:47,759
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not why they were created. They're supposed

1377
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: to be around to help people and get them on

1378
01:22:49,240 --> 01:22:52,759
Speaker 1: those feats. So if you just put put more policy

1379
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 1: development into the programs themselves, I don't know. But don't forget.

1380
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 1: This is a manufactured crisis. How do we know because

1381
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:01,000
Speaker 1: the Democrats in the media they all say this same thing, manufactured,

1382
01:23:01,080 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 1: manufactured crisis. And of course walls or immoral only when

1383
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,240
Speaker 1: it's Donald Trump that wants to put him up, not

1384
01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: when Barack Obama wants to put him up. The big

1385
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,879
Speaker 1: scam of the whole address was that there's a crisis.

1386
01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 1: There's not a crisis, folks. The president has manufactured one

1387
01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 1: heck of a political crisis for himself. Donald Trump is

1388
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,559
Speaker 1: manufacturing a national security crisis. You will hear them say,

1389
01:23:22,040 --> 01:23:24,800
Speaker 1: is that this is a manufactured crisis. It's not a

1390
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:30,639
Speaker 1: national security crisis. It remains a Seinfeld shutdown all about nothing.

1391
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 1: What happens when there is a real crisis, when there

1392
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:37,439
Speaker 1: is a real emergency. Does he take to the airways?

1393
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 1: Do we give him the airways? Do we believe him?

1394
01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 1: Some question if there is a crisis at all, as

1395
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:45,960
Speaker 1: the President has claimed, there is not a crisis at

1396
01:23:45,960 --> 01:23:49,439
Speaker 1: the border, it's a manufactured crisis for the president to

1397
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,960
Speaker 1: get a political when the crisis can have, as we

1398
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,920
Speaker 1: see now, a very elastic definition. And he's determined to

1399
01:23:54,960 --> 01:23:58,200
Speaker 1: convince you there is a crisis at the border, even

1400
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:02,000
Speaker 1: though and it tells you it's official, Tellson and quote.

1401
01:24:02,360 --> 01:24:05,559
Speaker 1: No one is saying this is a crisis except them.

1402
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,880
Speaker 1: President Trump must stop holding American people hostage. Let's stop

1403
01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 1: manufacturing a crisis. This president just used the backdrop of

1404
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,760
Speaker 1: the Oval Office to manufacture a crisis. This is a

1405
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:21,519
Speaker 1: manufacturing crisis. No crisis exists, and anyone making the argument

1406
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:25,240
Speaker 1: is most likely guilty of fear mongering and willfully misleading

1407
01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,960
Speaker 1: the American people. Locals will tell him on the border,

1408
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:31,799
Speaker 1: even conservatives, is that there isn't a national security crisis.

1409
01:24:31,880 --> 01:24:35,000
Speaker 1: The notion that we have a crisis, their security crisis

1410
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,759
Speaker 1: is absolute nonsense. All right, let's set our busy telephones.

1411
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't make this stuff up there. It's

1412
01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,439
Speaker 1: like they're one, you know, like two become one. It's

1413
01:24:42,479 --> 01:24:45,960
Speaker 1: sort of like the the the Act of marriage where

1414
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,439
Speaker 1: two become one. Why are you laughing? Oh? I love

1415
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,960
Speaker 1: talking about the talk. Let's talk about it. We'll talk

1416
01:24:51,960 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 1: about that. No, because they think alike, they can't even

1417
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,679
Speaker 1: they're so intertwined here. This look, this is the Washington

1418
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:05,759
Speaker 1: DC swamp that nobody know. All these congressmen, senators, their staff,

1419
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: all the people that work in the Department of Education,

1420
01:25:09,680 --> 01:25:14,599
Speaker 1: the Commerce Department, the State Department, the Defense. They're all friends.

1421
01:25:15,160 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: They're all friends with the media people. And what most

1422
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 1: people don't know is they all socialize together. They all

1423
01:25:22,040 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: go to dinner together. They that Monica forget about it.

1424
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: They go out drinking together. Many of them end up

1425
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:34,280
Speaker 1: dating together. And it is an incestuous cesspool. And nobody

1426
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: seems to really understand that we're all out of the

1427
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: loop by design. And you know, I don't want to

1428
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 1: be a part of their club. I'm proud not to

1429
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 1: be a part of their club. I don't they don't

1430
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: like me. I think as a matter of fact, they're

1431
01:25:47,080 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 1: not liking me is probably an understatement. You know why,

1432
01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:54,000
Speaker 1: because you're an investigative journalist, correct choice, and you've had

1433
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:55,760
Speaker 1: to do you have to do their job. You have

1434
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:57,920
Speaker 1: to do their jobs. Somebody's got to do somebody's got

1435
01:25:58,040 --> 01:25:59,439
Speaker 1: to do it. And you know what, you got to

1436
01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:01,600
Speaker 1: go out on that branch, the furthest branch on the

1437
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:05,280
Speaker 1: biggest tree, over the biggest cliff, over the water. Are

1438
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:08,679
Speaker 1: you hanging on It's like it's like a piece of floss.

1439
01:26:09,400 --> 01:26:12,400
Speaker 1: It's it's a nice So she is mocking me because

1440
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: you absolutely are, because that is my line when I say, look,

1441
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: I don't care. First of all, I elaborate, finish, but

1442
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:24,759
Speaker 1: you know, okay, so when we vet Obama and Frank

1443
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: Marshall Davis and a Lynsky an eight corner, you can

1444
01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 1: get an organizing okay, and give questions to Stefanapos because

1445
01:26:31,600 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: he didn't do his job. He's like, I don't know

1446
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 1: who wears indoor or oh let me write that to me,

1447
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: write that down? Interesting, I said, you want more questions.

1448
01:26:37,960 --> 01:26:40,519
Speaker 1: I got a lot of Ale Baldwin moment. Yeah, exactly.

1449
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:44,479
Speaker 1: Interesting It's very interesting, very interesting, interesting, very interesting. Can

Speaker 1: we talk about something call me no, Why went on

1451
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 1: the fun because then I go out on a limb.

1452
01:26:49,720 --> 01:26:52,400
Speaker 1: It's one thing, go out on a limb. And it's true.

1453
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: Just like with investigating ninety nine point nine percent, every

1454
01:26:57,640 --> 01:27:00,679
Speaker 1: newsroom in the country got it wrong. And the dopey

1481
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:36,080
Speaker 1: the truth, they never picked up a phone, They didn't

1482
01:28:36,160 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: talk to a single person, and then when the truth

1483
01:28:39,560 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: came out, they still doubled down on stupid and kept

1484
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:46,799
Speaker 1: reporting fake news. They would that's much. They rather doubled

1485
01:28:46,800 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 1: down on the light and defend one another than nactually

1486
01:28:49,439 --> 01:28:53,639

01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,559

1494
01:29:16,360 --> 01:29:19,320
Speaker 1: and who paid for the cake? The finer details, you know,

1495
01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, you just sit there like, who's the brand

1496
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: new father? You're gonna take credit for that too. I'm

1497
01:29:23,800 --> 01:29:27,000
Speaker 1: not the father. Man. That got really weird. Oh, that

1498

01:29:43,360 --> 01:29:45,880
Speaker 1: one can be the father. And they're just sitting there

1504
01:29:46,400 --> 01:29:54,000
Speaker 1: you are. And then then when the girl's upset that

1505
01:29:54,200 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 1: the person that she thought was the father isn't the father,
