Speaker 1: Well, we have come in your city, gets saying you
Speaker 1: a contun will be desired. Tell and if you want
Speaker 1: a little bang in.
Speaker 2: A union, I come along DNC and it's media Organs
Speaker 2: engineer a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based
Speaker 2: upon oh nothing only smoking mirrors.
Speaker 1: Is it now the position of the Democrats that they
Speaker 1: favored the border wall?
Speaker 3: Well, you can ask the Horris campaign about that.
Speaker 4: Head.
Speaker 5: Let's be perfectly clear, the president's medieval vanity project is
Speaker 5: not going to stop them.
Speaker 3: O'clock sixty eight days left until the presidentially election.
Speaker 5: We're coming.
Speaker 3: To your city.
Speaker 1: Don't play our guest and saying you a conscious.
Speaker 3: Song from coast to coast, from border to border, from
Speaker 3: c to Shining Sea. Sean Kennedy is.
Speaker 6: On, Hello America, and welcome to the Sean Handity Show.
Speaker 6: Because you're wise and discerning, you probably know this is
Speaker 6: not Sean Handy's voice. This is Eric Eggers and I'm
Speaker 6: joined by Peter Schweitzer, and we're so excited to be
Speaker 6: guest hosting and filling in for Sean again. Here on
Speaker 6: the Sean Handy Show. We co host a program called
Speaker 6: The Drill Down, where we regularly expose cronyism and corruption
Speaker 6: with best selling Peter Schweitzer, who has been leading the
Speaker 6: charge and exposing the corruption of the Biden family and
Speaker 6: now in the Kamala Harris presidency potentially Peter Schwitzer, how
Speaker 6: you doing.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm doing great. It's good to be here with you, Eric,
Speaker 1: And Yeah, we're going to talk today about Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: Tim Walls, things that people may not have heard about them,
Speaker 1: and we're also going to try to figure out why
Speaker 1: all this hype exists around Kamala Harris and what can
Speaker 1: be done to sort of expose the truth make sure
Speaker 1: that people understand exactly what these individuals have in their background.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I love the intro because we just heard from
Speaker 6: RFK Junior sand and the DNC basically is fabricated like
Speaker 6: a magic show, the enthusiasm around the Kamala Harris candidacy.
Speaker 6: And you also heard Bernie Sanders say, don't ask me
Speaker 6: about what her polhecies are. Ask her. And that's why
Speaker 6: today is such a big day and why it's so
Speaker 6: fun to be filling in for Sean on this day
Speaker 6: because it's almost like Christmas morning because tonight, for the
Speaker 6: first time in a long time, for the first time
Speaker 6: actually in sixty three days. Peter Schweitzer, We're going to
Speaker 6: hear from Kamala Harris. You know, there's that phrase in
Speaker 6: the land of the blind, the one eyed man is
Speaker 6: king in the land of political kind of, we're all
Speaker 6: in the bag for Kamala Harris. Softball pre recorded questions
Speaker 6: from CNN's Dana Bash passes for real journalism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the headline. By the way, on CNN, Harris
Speaker 1: is in an interview. Is the latest highly anticipated moment
Speaker 1: in a wild presidential race. In other words, this is
Speaker 1: kind of like a presidential summit. This is like staring
Speaker 1: down Putin, This is like meeting g. The hype behind
Speaker 1: this is ridiculous. She's sitting down with Dana Bash. She's
Speaker 1: gonna be asked softball questions, right, we could assume that.
Speaker 1: And she actually brought her wingman Tim Walls along. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's kind of the chaperone to this event. And yet
Speaker 1: they're treating it like this is some massive interview that's
Speaker 1: going to be a real test of her ability to
Speaker 1: be president.
Speaker 6: Yea, rather than a summit with g I'd actually more
Speaker 6: accurately compared to like, let's imagine you left town and
Speaker 6: you didn't feed your cat, and you've come back after
Speaker 6: like four days, and that cat is starving and it's thirsty,
Speaker 6: and they're so excited. That's essentially what Kamala Harris and
Speaker 6: her handlers have done. They starved the media beast. So
Speaker 6: now people will lap up anything they have to offer them.
Speaker 6: And it's been reported that whatever the conditions are of
Speaker 6: this interview with CNN's Dana Bash and we've got stuff
Speaker 6: to suggest that she may be something less than a
Speaker 6: neutral arbiter of truth in this interview. Whatever the conditions were,
Speaker 6: they weren't CNN's. They were the campaigns, correct.
Speaker 1: I'm sure what the campaign did is they went around
Speaker 1: to all the media outlets, the friendly media outlets, and said, look,
Speaker 1: here are our terms. We're gonna give it to you.
Speaker 1: If you don't agree to them, we'll just go to
Speaker 1: someone else. So we know that Tim Wats is included,
Speaker 1: it's not one on one. We know that it's pre taped,
Speaker 1: so it means if there's a flub, the campaign can
Speaker 1: can press CNN to edit it out or allow there
Speaker 1: to be some kind of a modification. And again, this
Speaker 1: is stuff that is really junior league I mean, if
Speaker 1: you're gonna be president of the United States. She's been
Speaker 1: vice president of the United States, she's presumably been overseas
Speaker 1: and met with foreign leaders. But this fear and this
Speaker 1: anxiety and this anticipation for it's a friendly interview. It's
Speaker 1: like it's like Donald Trump going on Fox. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna ask questions, but it's not going
Speaker 1: to be hostile. And you know it should be something
Speaker 1: she should be doing regularly, but she's not.
Speaker 6: You know, it almost sounds like it almost sounds like
Speaker 6: you're suggesting that we consider the context of this interview.
Speaker 6: Listen to one of my favorite philosophers and thought leaders
Speaker 6: encourage us to consider the context of all things.
Speaker 5: My mother used to She would give us a hard
Speaker 5: time sometimes and she would say to us, I don't
Speaker 5: know what's wrong with you, young people. Do you think
Speaker 5: you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist
Speaker 5: in the context of all in which you live and
Speaker 5: what came before you.
Speaker 6: The audio doesn't do it justice because when you watch
Speaker 6: her say that, she does this pause with her face
Speaker 6: as if like I am crushing it right now, and
Speaker 6: you guys should be just you are welcome for this
Speaker 6: so we do we should consider the context in which
Speaker 6: this interview is occurring. The context is this The last
Speaker 6: time we heard from Kamala Harris was sixty three days
Speaker 6: ago on the heels of the presidential debate, when she
Speaker 6: said this.
Speaker 5: Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a
Speaker 5: strong finish. And what became very clear through the course
Speaker 5: of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on
Speaker 5: behalf of the American people, on substance, on policy, on performance,
Speaker 5: Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's pretty amazing, right, That's what That was her
Speaker 1: assessment of what Joe Biden did. And of course that's
Speaker 1: what led that same performance that she was praising and
Speaker 1: saying is so great is what led Joe Biden ultimately
Speaker 1: to drop out of the race.
Speaker 6: So maybe not the strong finish she suggested that it
Speaker 6: had been in fact fact check. Now, what we do
Speaker 6: at the Government Accountabili Institut, of which Peter Schweizer is
Speaker 6: the president, what we do on our Drill Down podcast,
Speaker 6: and what Peter has done successfully in is many number
Speaker 6: one New York Times best selling books is exposed truth
Speaker 6: and expose the things that the government tries to lie
Speaker 6: to us. About what we just heard Kamala Harris do
Speaker 6: was lie to us about Joe Biden's fitness for office.
Speaker 6: That lies since been exposed, but we're now being sold
Speaker 6: another lie, Peter Schweiz, And that's kind of one of
Speaker 6: the things we're going to talk to you about today.
Speaker 6: We have a lot of really other cool stuff to
Speaker 6: talk about. We're going to hear from John Voyd about
Speaker 6: the film Reagan. We're going to hear from Susan Crabtree
Speaker 6: Real Politics about another lie the government's telling us as
Speaker 6: it relates to Secret Service. And we'll hear from people
Speaker 6: that lived through Tim Wats's Tierney in Minnesota. But the
Speaker 6: lie we're currently being sold is that Kamala Harris is
Speaker 6: not just competent as a presidential candidate, but maybe the
Speaker 6: most accomplished and most experienced and most ready to be president.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what we're being told. And I got to
Speaker 1: tell you I might do something that I've never done before,
Speaker 1: which is called a personal injury attorney, because I have whiplash.
Speaker 1: When you look at what the media has done, what
Speaker 1: they were saying just a couple of months ago to
Speaker 1: what they're doing now, it's really remarkable and I tell
Speaker 1: you there's I would encourage people to go and check
Speaker 1: out this book called The Truce that was published in
Speaker 1: January of this year by two left wing journalists. January
Speaker 1: of this year. January this year, that long ago, Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1: And this is by two left wing journalists and it
Speaker 1: is sort of the inside look of the Democratic Party
Speaker 1: published by a major publisher, Brian Steltzer of you know,
Speaker 1: previously if CNN says, every thing you need to know
Speaker 1: about the state of the Democratic Party is in this book.
Speaker 1: And it's got, you know, great quotes from other people
Speaker 1: saying what an incredible, deeply reported look this is. And
Speaker 1: if you go through this book, you find all these
Speaker 1: amazing statements about Kamala Harris, about the toxic culture that
Speaker 1: existed in her staff. They interviewed hundreds of people and
Speaker 1: they say that they are all remarkably consistent about her mismanagement,
Speaker 1: the toxic culture. The quote one aid of saying she's
Speaker 1: not ready for time, prime time, she ain't made for this,
Speaker 1: and the quotes go on and on and on, and
Speaker 1: yet now what we're told is this is the person
Speaker 1: that's going to give us a new amazing administration. That
Speaker 1: she's energetic, she's you know, full of new ideas, she's creative.
Speaker 1: In other words, the same consensus that existed in the
Speaker 1: national media before this was that she is not ready
Speaker 1: for prime time, and in fact, the book even SAIDs
Speaker 1: the consensus am on White House AIDS was that Joe
Speaker 1: Biden was going to have to run for reelection because
Speaker 1: she was not ready for it.
Speaker 6: Which, by the way, is a very important point because
Speaker 6: you can wonder how did we get to the point
Speaker 6: where the debate in late June happened where Joe Biden,
Speaker 6: someone who universally had a seat, it seems, was recognized
Speaker 6: to not be up for the gig, not be up
Speaker 6: for the task. I mean, the debate was held after
Speaker 6: four pm is bedtime, by the way, So how dare
Speaker 6: they do that? In some states that's elder abuse. But
Speaker 6: how is it possible that they were trying to prop
Speaker 6: up a guy that they were so quickly ready to
Speaker 6: discard if not for what you just said, which is
Speaker 6: that the replacement was even worse, which, by the way,
Speaker 6: is what we were told after the fact, Right there
Speaker 6: was those three weeks that Joe Biden hung on for
Speaker 6: dear life. Was we were told that Kamala Harris is
Speaker 6: actually even less popular than he is. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And you know, as we've talked about before when we
Speaker 1: guest hosted for Sean before, the real driving force behind
Speaker 1: Joe Biden leaving office was Barack Obama, and I think
Speaker 1: that is what pushed him out of office. Barack Obama's
Speaker 1: close to Kamala Harris, and I think what they have
Speaker 1: decided because they know of the weaknesses. They talk about
Speaker 1: her weaknesses in this book. The solution is to simply
Speaker 1: adopt the basement strategy of twenty twenty. She's not going
Speaker 1: to do interviews. And by the way, I'm old enough
Speaker 1: to remember when Ron Reagan was president and he was
Speaker 1: walking in the White House lawn, Sam Donaldson will be
Speaker 1: screaming at him. I remember when the CNN correspondent would
Speaker 1: be screaming at Trump to take questions, to take his question.
Speaker 1: We don't get any of that with Kamala Harris. Nobody
Speaker 1: is screaming and trying to beat down the doors and
Speaker 1: say why are you not prepared to even sit down
Speaker 1: and talk to somebody in the mainstream media about what
Speaker 1: your views are.
Speaker 6: So Kamala Harris has received some criticism for the fact
Speaker 6: that she's doing this interview not alone. She's not just
Speaker 6: doing an interview as for the first time as the
Speaker 6: Democratic nominee for president. She's bringing her running mate, Governor
Speaker 6: Tim Waltz with her. You think that's significant.
Speaker 1: I think it is significant. I mean, look, the official
Speaker 1: line that they're giving, well after a convention, that's what
Speaker 1: always happens, that both of them sit down together, but
Speaker 1: that's when the interview takes place, like right at the
Speaker 1: convention or after the convention, it's been a couple of weeks.
Speaker 6: Or maybe even before the convention, after the person's been
Speaker 6: named as the run exactly exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean this to me, clearly, he is the chaperone.
Speaker 1: He's the one that if we get one of her
Speaker 1: word salads, if she kind of goes off and talks
Speaker 1: about coconut trees again, he's somebody that can kind of
Speaker 1: bring it back in kind of a strange way. I mean,
Speaker 1: this guy is not what you would call sort of
Speaker 1: a calming, settling influence. But that's clear to me that
Speaker 1: that's the reason that he's going to be doing this interview.
Speaker 1: And then the question is going to become after this
Speaker 1: because I imagine the interview is going to go pretty well.
Speaker 1: Dana Bash is going to ask, you know, easy questions.
Speaker 1: Let's remember that her former husband was one of the
Speaker 1: fifty one intelligence people that signed that document, you know,
Speaker 1: helping the Biden campaign saying that the Hunter Biden laptop
Speaker 1: was Russian disinformation. You know, So it's going to be
Speaker 1: a pretty easy interview. Then the question becomes one she
Speaker 1: actually gonna do one on her own with somebody that's
Speaker 1: even slightly possibly going to ask her aggressive questions.
Speaker 6: No, it's a great question. I'd like to compare what's
Speaker 6: happening now to if you ever bought a house, And
Speaker 6: the way we buy houses in this country is super
Speaker 6: weird because you look online, you get excited about what
Speaker 6: you see, and then you like go and tour the house,
Speaker 6: and then you agree to buy the house, and then
Speaker 6: you do the inspection and then you find out what's wrong,
Speaker 6: and then you question all your life choices and try
Speaker 6: to renegotiate the price. So we've been sold in Chicago,
Speaker 6: and for the last forty plus days we see the
Speaker 6: gloss these Zillow pictures of the Kamala Harris house online,
Speaker 6: and tonight for the first time we get maybe a
Speaker 6: sneak peek at the inspection report, we find out, you know,
Speaker 6: are there cobwebs in the attic? Are there migrants hiding
Speaker 6: in the basement? Are there structural problems? As lots of
Speaker 6: the reporting before this time has suggested that there are.
Speaker 6: So we hope that there's at least something resembling a
Speaker 6: decent inspection of the presidential campaign. But we don't think
Speaker 6: that that's going to happen.
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that's going to happen because, look,
Speaker 1: I mean CNN in addition to having the bias that
Speaker 1: they have, and you know, look, we used to work
Speaker 1: with CNN all the time, not anymore, but they have
Speaker 1: their biases. But on top of that, this is the
Speaker 1: way that the media game is played by the Democrats.
Speaker 1: If they press her with aggressive questions, guess what, CNN's
Speaker 1: not going to get any more interviews, They're not going
Speaker 1: to get any access. They played this game very well.
Speaker 1: And this is where you have to give Donald Trump
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. Trump goes on CNN, He's agreed
Speaker 1: to do a debate on ABC News, knowing sort of
Speaker 1: the hostility of some of the journalists there, so he's
Speaker 1: willing to go off and have tough questions hurled at him.
Speaker 1: She's not demonstrating the ability to even sit down with
Speaker 1: friendly journalists, not you know, to mention hostile ones. And
Speaker 1: of course the question is if if you can't stand
Speaker 1: up to a hostile media question, how are you going
Speaker 1: to stand up to g how are you going to
Speaker 1: stand up to putin No.
Speaker 6: It's a great question. It's one that won't be asked
Speaker 6: by CNN Data Bash tonight. But that's okay, that's what
Speaker 6: we're here for. We're taking your calls at Winnie hundred
Speaker 6: nine four one Sean went hundred nine four one one
Speaker 6: seven three to two six. When we come back, Peter
Speaker 6: Schweitzer and me Eric Eggers, we'll tell you some of
Speaker 6: the things you won't hear tonight on CNA. We'll tell
Speaker 6: you some of the problems that have already been exposed
Speaker 6: in the foundation of this Kamala Harris campaign. We've got
Speaker 6: a bit of a lying problem in both Kamala Harris
Speaker 6: and Tim Moff. We'll tell you about that next and
Speaker 6: the other side of this break on the Sean Handy Show.
Speaker 6: Thanks for being with us.
Speaker 1: It's Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers. We are filling in
Speaker 1: for Sean Handerdy joined the conversation one eight hundred nine
Speaker 1: to four to one Sean one eight hundred and nine
Speaker 1: four one seven, three, two six. We are talking about
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, the anticipation that she's actually gonna face down
Speaker 1: Dana Bash with Tom tim Waltz. There of course, Uh,
Speaker 1: the interview coming out tonight, everybody's a buzz. But you
Speaker 1: were talking earlier before the break about the fact that
Speaker 1: there is a history here with both Walls and Kamala Harris,
Speaker 1: with frankly lying about their past in small things but
Speaker 1: also in some big things as well.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it seems kind of inconsequential, but when you consider
Speaker 6: the larger context, if you like, whether or not you
Speaker 6: consider the coconut tree as part of that, then I
Speaker 6: think it maybe adds up to wait, why should we
Speaker 6: believe you? So Kamala Harris started claiming in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 6: and Breitbart's reporting that some reporting really well done by
Speaker 6: the Washington Free Beacon. She started claiming that she had
Speaker 6: a job at McDonald's, you know, when she was younger.
Speaker 6: But she first mentions it in twenty nineteen. There's no
Speaker 6: mention of it in either of her memoirs which came
Speaker 6: out obviously she was launching and building her political career.
Speaker 6: And then the Washington Free Beacon has gone and gotten
Speaker 6: a form of a nineteen eighty seven job application in
Speaker 6: which she has been required to list every previous employment experience.
Speaker 6: Guess what's not on there?
Speaker 1: McDonald.
Speaker 6: McDonald's is not on there. And so it's like if
Speaker 6: they're lying about that, like if Tim Waltz is lying
Speaker 6: about winning the Young Nebraskan Award, and you know, lying
Speaker 6: about much larger things like did you carry a weapon
Speaker 6: in war? What was your rank? I think they starts
Speaker 6: to add up to a credibility problem that a good
Speaker 6: media should hold them accountable.
Speaker 1: For they should and in fact things of really high consequence.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this in the four o'clock hour.
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris ha is tout of the fact that she
Speaker 1: has been an aggressive prosecut of sexual crimes against minors.
Speaker 1: That is perhaps I think the biggest lie that he
Speaker 1: has shown. In fact, we're going to show in the
Speaker 1: four o'clock hour how she actually covered up massive numbers
Speaker 1: of crimes in San Francisco when she was a prosecutor,
Speaker 1: that she did so because the people that were backing
Speaker 1: her campaign financially were desiring that this problem just sort
Speaker 1: of go away. And it's a massive scandal that has
Speaker 1: been hinted at by a couple news outlets. The Associated
Speaker 1: Press covered it in a slight way in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: but we are going to dissect it in this entirety.
Speaker 1: Coming up after this break, we're going to be talking
Speaker 1: to the great John Voight about the new film Reagan.
Speaker 3: Didn't the IRS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you
Speaker 3: you need a watch dog on Washington with insider sources.
Speaker 6: You need Hannity every day. Welcome back. It is this
Speaker 6: Sean Handy Show. Eric Eggers and Peter Schwartzer fill in
Speaker 6: for Sean, and we're so excited not just about our
Speaker 6: next guest, but about the film that he's in, which
Speaker 6: debuts in theaters nationwide tomorrow. It's Reagan, which doesn't take
Speaker 6: a genius figure out. It's about Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 6: Peter Schweizer, you actually wrote a book and have been
Speaker 6: involved in a film about Ronald Reagan as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, a great, wonderful, heroic figure and I'm thrilled to
Speaker 1: have John voight with us because not only is one
Speaker 1: of my favorite actors, but he's actually in this film
Speaker 1: and he plays I think, a very important role because
Speaker 1: I've always believed that the people that understood Reagan the
Speaker 1: best were the Soviets, and that's why they hated him
Speaker 1: so much, because they knew what he was about. John,
Speaker 1: are you there.
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm with you, guys. I'm you two of my heroes.
Speaker 4: So I'm just thinking to my heroes doing what they do.
Speaker 1: You are wonderful. I have enjoyed so many of your films,
Speaker 1: and I'm looking forward to seeing Reagan. I have not
Speaker 1: seen it yet. Tell me, John, what was it like
Speaker 1: when they came to you about this film and they
Speaker 1: told you, we don't actually want you to play Reagan
Speaker 1: or whin of Reagan's people. We want you to play
Speaker 1: this KGB agent who's trying to dissect who Reagan is
Speaker 1: and counter what Reagan does.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, I thought that they showed me the script
Speaker 4: and I it was a big, sprawling script at the time,
Speaker 4: and Dennis was attached to it, and they and I
Speaker 4: looked at it and I thought it was a very
Speaker 4: good idea that they had to show this fellow who
Speaker 4: actually carry he's assigned to follow the people who might
Speaker 4: be a danger into the future. So they have having
Speaker 4: profiles of various people across the world, and they found
Speaker 4: this guy who's talking against communism and was a successful
Speaker 4: actor in Hollywood and then had a political bent too.
Speaker 4: So they want from the beginning, and they put this
Speaker 4: in the film. They put this guy onto him. Now,
Speaker 4: this is not a real character of that name, but
Speaker 4: it represented several people that were doing this work for
Speaker 4: the Soviets, and so I thought it was appropriate. And
Speaker 4: I thought anybody who followed Reagan, you know, would be
Speaker 4: affected by him. And I thought that the film charted
Speaker 4: that kind of course, and it was a good idea,
Speaker 4: and I was right. I think when you see the film,
Speaker 4: you'll you'll see that it works quite well. And it
Speaker 4: would have been lesser had had somebody else been the
Speaker 4: narrator of his rise and his challenges and his and
Speaker 4: interpreting his work. You know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think Peter and I both believe this is
Speaker 6: an important film that occurs in an important moment in
Speaker 6: time in this nation, and so we're very excited about
Speaker 6: the fact that so many people will get the chance
Speaker 6: to see this film. John I did a little bit
Speaker 6: of research into you in your process, and you've spoken
Speaker 6: repeatedly about the importance of preparation in how you've become
Speaker 6: such an accomplished actor. And I'm just wondering in your
Speaker 6: efforts and your preparation to play someone who works in
Speaker 6: Communist Russia, which democrat did you watch the most?
Speaker 4: That's it? Well, you know, thing, the joke is very telling. Obviously,
Speaker 4: there is behavior that is in our own country and
Speaker 4: one of our political parties that is very similar to
Speaker 4: the Soviet behavior. And unfortunately, but there was a fellow
Speaker 4: by name of Yuri Besmanov. Do you know anything about those? Oh? Yes, yes,
Speaker 4: well he's he was an amazing fellow who was a
Speaker 4: dissident from the Soviet Union, became was a spy, was
Speaker 4: an effect if spy, I think, and then found that
Speaker 4: he couldn't continue. He was sickened by what he saw
Speaker 4: on what he was asked to do, and he became
Speaker 4: a dissident, and then he found himself in this country,
Speaker 4: in the United States, and then at one point he
Speaker 4: felt probably that he had a responsibility, had a moment
Speaker 4: of conscience he said, I know what's going on, and
Speaker 4: I should tell them you know, Bull should warn them,
Speaker 4: and so he went on, and I made an effort
Speaker 4: to get people the information about what was happening to
Speaker 4: our country, how we were being eroded from within, and
Speaker 4: the techniques involved in that. And so so I went
Speaker 4: to school on him. I thought he was a terrific
Speaker 4: guy and very smart and very laid out the plan
Speaker 4: very clearly, and it followed. It followed what the script
Speaker 4: was saying about this character, and you know, the unions
Speaker 4: getting involved with the unions and had the focus on
Speaker 4: Hollywood and the press and stuff. So so anyway, it
Speaker 4: was a good connection, and I kind of based my
Speaker 4: character a little bit on and the things that I
Speaker 4: found out from your investment off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seems to me. Again, I haven't seen the film,
Speaker 1: but I'm familiar with the book that the film was
Speaker 1: based on, a great book done by my dear friend
Speaker 1: Paul Kengor. So this is really a film, I think,
Speaker 1: ultimately about character and leadership. So you know, when people
Speaker 1: think of ou, oh, it's a film about Reagan that
Speaker 1: was forty years ago, it's really not. This is kind
Speaker 1: of timeless principles of leadership. When you think of Reagan
Speaker 1: and what he accomplished and your work in this film,
Speaker 1: what are those character traits that really stand out to
Speaker 1: you with Reagan and how are they important and relevant
Speaker 1: today because we don't face the Soviet Union, but we
Speaker 1: face China, we face all these other threats, we face
Speaker 1: domestic threats that I would argue are as relevant and
Speaker 1: as dangerous as the Soviet Union ever was during the
Speaker 1: Cold War.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you. I think I think we
Speaker 4: are seeing a great similarity to what Reagan was warning about.
Speaker 4: And the thing that he didn't, you know, wasn't able
Speaker 4: to erase was the work that was done since the
Speaker 4: forties and fifties, you know, finding ways into our country
Speaker 4: and into our various spots, you know, like the universities
Speaker 4: and and you know, taking God out of the schools
Speaker 4: was one of their plans, so, you know, focusing on
Speaker 4: these young people coming up, getting into the universities and
Speaker 4: key positions, getting into the teachers' unions, getting into places,
Speaker 4: into the press. And they have very very specific ideas
Speaker 4: about what to get into, get into the editorial position
Speaker 4: and newspapers, getting into this and that, and they had
Speaker 4: a menu of many There was a book out called
Speaker 4: A Naked Communist by a former FBI agent in nineteen
Speaker 4: fifty eight came out, and much of that went into
Speaker 4: our own files, and we knew all about it, you know,
Speaker 4: what was happening to us, and yet we didn't raise
Speaker 4: the alarm at all over those years. And it happened
Speaker 4: over my lifetime. I saw it happen, how they took
Speaker 4: over the you know, we see the result of it
Speaker 4: with all of these demonstrations and the and the you know,
Speaker 4: when the presidents of these universities expressed expressed themselves, we
Speaker 4: realized that these people are competent, and they're wrong headed,
Speaker 4: and they're dangerous, and that's who are who's running these
Speaker 4: these universities now. So they accomplished all that over the years.
Speaker 4: Once it started, it just took off and had its
Speaker 4: own energy. And that we're facing the full bloom of
Speaker 4: it right now. So when you say it's like the
Speaker 4: civic union here, yeah, there's a lot of there's a
Speaker 4: lot of aspects to that. We are really taken over
Speaker 4: from within.
Speaker 6: Well speak with legendary actor and Hollywood legend John Voight.
Speaker 6: John stars in the film Reagan, which debuts and theaters
Speaker 6: tomorrow nationwide. I was curious because You've had this amazing
Speaker 6: career and you've managed to star in blockbusters and mainstream films.
Speaker 6: This film, hopefully as a blockbuster, hopefully does incredibly well.
Speaker 6: But it's clearly a film with a conservative message in ethos,
Speaker 6: in terms of traditional American values. Films like that seem
Speaker 6: to attract the same smaller group of actors. Is that
Speaker 6: a coincidence or is it challenging for people that might
Speaker 6: believe in these types of things to work in a
Speaker 6: film like this and then get regular mainstream work because
Speaker 6: you seem like you've been able to do that throughout
Speaker 6: your career.
Speaker 4: Yeah. Well, there's been a division in Hollywood, there's no
Speaker 4: doubt about it. It's very difficult for conservative actors or
Speaker 4: to be openly conservative. So it's been a tough time.
Speaker 4: But hopefully that's turning around because of the economics involved.
Speaker 4: You know, people are yearning for films that have a
Speaker 4: moral base and celebrate our countries too, So we'll see,
Speaker 4: we'll see a change. But we're right in the middle
Speaker 4: of the war of it now, don't you think this
Speaker 4: is it?
Speaker 6: Yeah? Yeah, yep, exactly, which makes people showing up to
Speaker 6: see the film this weekend all the more relevant, right,
Speaker 6: if you want to support projects, like I said, you
Speaker 6: want to see more films like this than films like
Speaker 6: this have to do well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well I think yes. I'm hoping that it will
Speaker 4: do very well. It's a great film, by the way,
Speaker 4: for people who are listening, it's a wonderful film. And
Speaker 4: the acting is terrific, and the script is terrific. It's
Speaker 4: just a great film. It leaves you with a terrific feeling,
Speaker 4: and it's also very moving, and it's also a portrait
Speaker 4: of a love story. It shows you the story between
Speaker 4: Nancy and Van had had a beautiful of beautiful life together.
Speaker 4: They relied on each other, they were a partnership, and
Speaker 4: it was a great love story. And the performances of
Speaker 4: Dennis and penelopean Miller are just wonderful, so I know,
Speaker 4: you know, and you can bring the family to it,
Speaker 4: of course. So it's a terrific film. Go see it.
Speaker 4: You don't want to more than once, probably it's great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, we are definitely going to see it. I
Speaker 1: haven't seen a movie in the theater in a while, just
Speaker 1: because there's so much out there that I don't like.
Speaker 1: But I am looking forward to seeing this and We
Speaker 1: appreciate you, John very much making the time. I loved
Speaker 1: your work over the years. We appreciate your outspokenness and
Speaker 1: just the great body of work that you've done over
Speaker 1: the course of the decades, and we look forward to
Speaker 1: hearing about what's next.
Speaker 4: That's wonderful. It's great to talk to you both.
Speaker 1: Much love, thank you, thank you. We're talking with a
Speaker 1: great John Voight. The film coming up is Reagan. Definitely.
Speaker 1: When was the last time you went to the theater?
Speaker 6: Eric, Well, I have small children, so I'm regularly looking
Speaker 6: to kind of farm out my parenting responsibility and I'm
Speaker 6: happy to let the godless Heaven to the Hollywood Tale
Speaker 6: handle that for a little while. And I'm even willing
Speaker 6: to overpay for popcorn to do it. So I'm there.
Speaker 6: But he is Peter Swizer. I Americ Eggers, and he
Speaker 6: can judge my parenting later. This is the Sean Handy Show.
Speaker 6: We'll be right back after this. Welcome back. It's Eric
Speaker 6: Eggers and Peter Schwitz are feeling in for Sean Handy
Speaker 6: on a Thursday afternoon. Now, Peter, we were just speaking
Speaker 6: during the break. We just talked to the legendary John
Speaker 6: Voyd who's starring in this film about Ron Reagan, which
Speaker 6: debuts again in theaters this weekend. Now you have another
Speaker 6: California politician who's running for president, and one difference between
Speaker 6: the two of them is when Ron Reagan ran for president,
Speaker 6: he'd lived his career very much in the public spotlight,
Speaker 6: had been an actor, he'd been governor. We knew a
Speaker 6: lot about his past and even policy reversals he'd experienced
Speaker 6: and explained. But Kamala Harris is maybe less so that way.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, And I think one of the things
Speaker 1: we try to do with the Government Accountability Institute, we
Speaker 1: try to do on our podcast, the drill Down, is
Speaker 1: exposed stories that the media is not covering when they're zigging,
Speaker 1: we're zagging because ultimately that's how you get information out.
Speaker 1: And the problem is you ask most people, even informed people,
Speaker 1: what they actually know about what Kamala Harris did as
Speaker 1: a prosecutor or what she didn't do as a prosecutor.
Speaker 1: When you look at some of the other scandalous questions
Speaker 1: about conflicts of interest, about covering up potential crimes for
Speaker 1: family members or for major campaign donors, nobody knows about it.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows about it. So we're going to talk about
Speaker 1: that here in the four o'clock hour and do the
Speaker 1: job that the media is not doing, because this is
Speaker 1: information that everybody should know. And here we are. She
Speaker 1: might be president in a couple of months, and people
Speaker 1: know very little about her record when she was in California.
Speaker 6: Now that's despite your best efforts, because you actually did
Speaker 6: a whole chapter on Kamala Harris and your book, Profiles
Speaker 6: and the Corruption, which came out in twenty twenty. Yeah,
Speaker 6: so this is four years ago when we kind of
Speaker 6: did it an analysis of the political vulnerabilities and scandals
Speaker 6: and corruption examples that were true for a number of
Speaker 6: potential Democratic front wrots Kamala Harris. I think we had
Speaker 6: some of the better material there, but that's not stuff
Speaker 6: you've seen anywhere else. It hasn't been reference on a
Speaker 6: regular basis, and that's because Kamala Harris herself as a
Speaker 6: presidential candidate performed so poorly. She didn't do well enough
Speaker 6: to even get asked the tough questions. And what's crazy
Speaker 6: is that she's now managed to become the actual presidential
Speaker 6: nominee without winning any primaries or without facing again any
Speaker 6: challenging questions that allegedly changed tonight. I don't think it will.
Speaker 6: But the point is that's why this information matters so much.
Speaker 6: This has been out there for four years, but you
Speaker 6: probably haven't heard about it. Major scandals related to Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we've got new updates on Kamala Harris. And I
Speaker 1: think it's important to understand where and how she uses
Speaker 1: power because when she was a prosecutor in California, she
Speaker 1: engaged in massive abuses of power. And I think when
Speaker 1: you look at the sort of things that are happening
Speaker 1: in the Department of Justice under Joe Biden, I will
Speaker 1: tell you if she becomes president of the United States,
Speaker 1: you probably have not seen anything remotely resembling what she's
Speaker 1: about to do because her ability to use and abuse
Speaker 1: the power of the courts for her political benefit is
Speaker 1: unmatched in my mind.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and by the way, we'll hear in the five
Speaker 6: o'clock hour from somebody who lived under Tim Waltz's Minnesota
Speaker 6: COVID tyranny who will say, you do not want this
Speaker 6: lack of liberty at the federal level. So coming up,
Speaker 6: we will hear about Kamala Harris and the lies she's
Speaker 6: telling you and how it covers up the real scandal
Speaker 6: and a trackerd that's next on The Sean Hanny Show.
