<v Speaker 2>upon oh nothing only smoking mirrors.

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Is it now the position of the Democrats that they

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.880
<v Speaker 1>favored the border wall?

0:00:33.520 --> 0:00:36.920

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:37.200
<v Speaker 4>Head.

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 5>Let's be perfectly clear, the president's medieval vanity project is

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:43.519
<v Speaker 5>not going to stop them.

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:54.160

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:26.960
<v Speaker 6>Because you're wise and discerning, you probably know this is

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.720
<v Speaker 6>not Sean Handy's voice. This is Eric Eggers and I'm

0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 6>joined by Peter Schweitzer, and we're so excited to be

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 6>guest hosting and filling in for Sean again. Here on

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:37.680
<v Speaker 6>the Sean Handy Show. We co host a program called

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 6>The Drill Down, where we regularly expose cronyism and corruption

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 6>with best selling Peter Schweitzer, who has been leading the

0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 6>charge and exposing the corruption of the Biden family and

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 6>now in the Kamala Harris presidency potentially Peter Schwitzer, how

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 6>you doing.

0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, I'm doing great. It's good to be here with you, Eric,

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And Yeah, we're going to talk today about Kamala Harris,

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Tim Walls, things that people may not have heard about them,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.840
<v Speaker 1>and we're also going to try to figure out why

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 1>all this hype exists around Kamala Harris and what can

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>be done to sort of expose the truth make sure

0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that people understand exactly what these individuals have in their background.

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 6>Yeah. I love the intro because we just heard from

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 6>RFK Junior sand and the DNC basically is fabricated like

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.639
<v Speaker 6>a magic show, the enthusiasm around the Kamala Harris candidacy.

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.640
<v Speaker 6>And you also heard Bernie Sanders say, don't ask me

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 6>about what her polhecies are. Ask her. And that's why

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.360
<v Speaker 6>today is such a big day and why it's so

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:31.520
<v Speaker 6>fun to be filling in for Sean on this day

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 6>because it's almost like Christmas morning because tonight, for the

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 6>first time in a long time, for the first time

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 6>actually in sixty three days. Peter Schweitzer, We're going to

0:02:41.240 --> 0:02:44.120
<v Speaker 6>hear from Kamala Harris. You know, there's that phrase in

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 6>the land of the blind, the one eyed man is

0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:50.760
<v Speaker 6>king in the land of political kind of, we're all

0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 6>in the bag for Kamala Harris. Softball pre recorded questions

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 6>from CNN's Dana Bash passes for real journalism.

0:02:56.919 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, here's the headline. By the way, on CNN, Harris

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>is in an interview. Is the latest highly anticipated moment

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>in a wild presidential race. In other words, this is

0:03:06.560 --> 0:03:09.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of like a presidential summit. This is like staring

0:03:09.040 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>down Putin, This is like meeting g. The hype behind

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>this is ridiculous. She's sitting down with Dana Bash. She's

0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna be asked softball questions, right, we could assume that.

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>And she actually brought her wingman Tim Walls along. I mean,

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>he's kind of the chaperone to this event. And yet

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:28.560
<v Speaker 1>they're treating it like this is some massive interview that's

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>going to be a real test of her ability to

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>be president.

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 6>Yea, rather than a summit with g I'd actually more

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 6>accurately compared to like, let's imagine you left town and

0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.120
<v Speaker 6>you didn't feed your cat, and you've come back after

0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 6>like four days, and that cat is starving and it's thirsty,

0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.120
<v Speaker 6>and they're so excited. That's essentially what Kamala Harris and

0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 6>her handlers have done. They starved the media beast. So

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 6>now people will lap up anything they have to offer them.

0:03:52.640 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 6>And it's been reported that whatever the conditions are of

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 6>this interview with CNN's Dana Bash and we've got stuff

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.280
<v Speaker 6>to suggest that she may be something less than a

0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 6>neutral arbiter of truth in this interview. Whatever the conditions were,

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 6>they weren't CNN's. They were the campaigns, correct.

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure what the campaign did is they went around

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>to all the media outlets, the friendly media outlets, and said, look,

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>here are our terms. We're gonna give it to you.

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>If you don't agree to them, we'll just go to

0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.599
<v Speaker 1>someone else. So we know that Tim Wats is included,

0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not one on one. We know that it's pre taped,

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:25.120
<v Speaker 1>so it means if there's a flub, the campaign can

0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>can press CNN to edit it out or allow there

0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to be some kind of a modification. And again, this

0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>is stuff that is really junior league I mean, if

0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.600
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna be president of the United States. She's been

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>vice president of the United States, she's presumably been overseas

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>and met with foreign leaders. But this fear and this

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:46.640
<v Speaker 1>anxiety and this anticipation for it's a friendly interview. It's

0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.200
<v Speaker 1>like it's like Donald Trump going on Fox. I mean,

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, he's gonna ask questions, but it's not going

0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>to be hostile. And you know it should be something

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.159
<v Speaker 1>she should be doing regularly, but she's not.

0:04:57.279 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 6>You know, it almost sounds like it almost sounds like

0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 6>you're suggesting that we consider the context of this interview.

0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.279
<v Speaker 6>Listen to one of my favorite philosophers and thought leaders

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.599
<v Speaker 6>encourage us to consider the context of all things.

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:11.120
<v Speaker 5>My mother used to She would give us a hard

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.560
<v Speaker 5>time sometimes and she would say to us, I don't

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:16.120
<v Speaker 5>know what's wrong with you, young people. Do you think

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:21.039
<v Speaker 5>you just fell out of a coconut tree? You exist

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:25.720
<v Speaker 5>in the context of all in which you live and

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 5>what came before you.

0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:30.159
<v Speaker 6>The audio doesn't do it justice because when you watch

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 6>her say that, she does this pause with her face

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 6>as if like I am crushing it right now, and

0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:38.600
<v Speaker 6>you guys should be just you are welcome for this

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 6>so we do we should consider the context in which

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.799
<v Speaker 6>this interview is occurring. The context is this The last

0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.240
<v Speaker 6>time we heard from Kamala Harris was sixty three days

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:50.000
<v Speaker 6>ago on the heels of the presidential debate, when she

0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:50.919
<v Speaker 6>said this.

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 5>Yes, there was a slow start, but it was a

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:56.960
<v Speaker 5>strong finish. And what became very clear through the course

0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.599
<v Speaker 5>of the night is that Joe Biden is fighting on

0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:04.840
<v Speaker 5>behalf of the American people, on substance, on policy, on performance,

0:06:05.320 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 5>Joe Biden is extraordinarily strong.

0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:13.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's pretty amazing, right, That's what That was her

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>assessment of what Joe Biden did. And of course that's

0:06:15.279 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>what led that same performance that she was praising and

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>saying is so great is what led Joe Biden ultimately

0:06:21.080 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to drop out of the race.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.200
<v Speaker 6>So maybe not the strong finish she suggested that it

0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:28.480
<v Speaker 6>had been in fact fact check. Now, what we do

0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:30.800
<v Speaker 6>at the Government Accountabili Institut, of which Peter Schweizer is

0:06:30.839 --> 0:06:32.680
<v Speaker 6>the president, what we do on our Drill Down podcast,

0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 6>and what Peter has done successfully in is many number

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:38.240
<v Speaker 6>one New York Times best selling books is exposed truth

0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.039
<v Speaker 6>and expose the things that the government tries to lie

0:06:41.080 --> 0:06:43.440
<v Speaker 6>to us. About what we just heard Kamala Harris do

0:06:43.480 --> 0:06:46.120
<v Speaker 6>was lie to us about Joe Biden's fitness for office.

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 6>That lies since been exposed, but we're now being sold

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 6>another lie, Peter Schweiz, And that's kind of one of

0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 6>the things we're going to talk to you about today.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.200
<v Speaker 6>We have a lot of really other cool stuff to

0:06:55.240 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 6>talk about. We're going to hear from John Voyd about

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 6>the film Reagan. We're going to hear from Susan Crabtree

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 6>Real Politics about another lie the government's telling us as

0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:04.599
<v Speaker 6>it relates to Secret Service. And we'll hear from people

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 6>that lived through Tim Wats's Tierney in Minnesota. But the

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.040
<v Speaker 6>lie we're currently being sold is that Kamala Harris is

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:14.760
<v Speaker 6>not just competent as a presidential candidate, but maybe the

0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 6>most accomplished and most experienced and most ready to be president.

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's what we're being told. And I got to

0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:24.559
<v Speaker 1>tell you I might do something that I've never done before,

0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>which is called a personal injury attorney, because I have whiplash.

0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:31.240
<v Speaker 1>When you look at what the media has done, what

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>they were saying just a couple of months ago to

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.320
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing now, it's really remarkable and I tell

0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you there's I would encourage people to go and check

0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>out this book called The Truce that was published in

0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>January of this year by two left wing journalists. January

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:49.200
<v Speaker 1>of this year. January this year, that long ago, Yeah, exactly.

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>And this is by two left wing journalists and it

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.280
<v Speaker 1>is sort of the inside look of the Democratic Party

0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>published by a major publisher, Brian Steltzer of you know,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>previously if CNN says, every thing you need to know

0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.559
<v Speaker 1>about the state of the Democratic Party is in this book.

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>And it's got, you know, great quotes from other people

0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>saying what an incredible, deeply reported look this is. And

0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:14.640
<v Speaker 1>if you go through this book, you find all these

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:20.440
<v Speaker 1>amazing statements about Kamala Harris, about the toxic culture that

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.680
<v Speaker 1>existed in her staff. They interviewed hundreds of people and

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>they say that they are all remarkably consistent about her mismanagement,

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the toxic culture. The quote one aid of saying she's

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.680
<v Speaker 1>not ready for time, prime time, she ain't made for this,

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:40.160
<v Speaker 1>and the quotes go on and on and on, and

0:08:40.240 --> 0:08:43.240
<v Speaker 1>yet now what we're told is this is the person

0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that's going to give us a new amazing administration. That

0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:51.679
<v Speaker 1>she's energetic, she's you know, full of new ideas, she's creative.

0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>In other words, the same consensus that existed in the

0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>national media before this was that she is not ready

0:08:59.000 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>for prime time, and in fact, the book even SAIDs

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:04.440
<v Speaker 1>the consensus am on White House AIDS was that Joe

0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>Biden was going to have to run for reelection because

0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:08.760
<v Speaker 1>she was not ready for it.

0:09:08.800 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 6>Which, by the way, is a very important point because

0:09:11.200 --> 0:09:13.199
<v Speaker 6>you can wonder how did we get to the point

0:09:13.200 --> 0:09:16.440
<v Speaker 6>where the debate in late June happened where Joe Biden,

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:20.000
<v Speaker 6>someone who universally had a seat, it seems, was recognized

0:09:20.040 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 6>to not be up for the gig, not be up

0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 6>for the task. I mean, the debate was held after

0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:26.480
<v Speaker 6>four pm is bedtime, by the way, So how dare

0:09:26.520 --> 0:09:28.800
<v Speaker 6>they do that? In some states that's elder abuse. But

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.160
<v Speaker 6>how is it possible that they were trying to prop

0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:33.920
<v Speaker 6>up a guy that they were so quickly ready to

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 6>discard if not for what you just said, which is

0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.760
<v Speaker 6>that the replacement was even worse, which, by the way,

0:09:39.800 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 6>is what we were told after the fact, Right there

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 6>was those three weeks that Joe Biden hung on for

0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 6>dear life. Was we were told that Kamala Harris is

0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:50.480
<v Speaker 6>actually even less popular than he is. Yeah, that's right.

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, as we've talked about before when we

0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>guest hosted for Sean before, the real driving force behind

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>Joe Biden leaving office was Barack Obama, and I think

0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:03.320
<v Speaker 1>that is what pushed him out of office. Barack Obama's

0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>close to Kamala Harris, and I think what they have

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>decided because they know of the weaknesses. They talk about

0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>her weaknesses in this book. The solution is to simply

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:15.680
<v Speaker 1>adopt the basement strategy of twenty twenty. She's not going

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>to do interviews. And by the way, I'm old enough

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to remember when Ron Reagan was president and he was

0:10:21.440 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>walking in the White House lawn, Sam Donaldson will be

0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>screaming at him. I remember when the CNN correspondent would

0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.480
<v Speaker 1>be screaming at Trump to take questions, to take his question.

0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:33.880
<v Speaker 1>We don't get any of that with Kamala Harris. Nobody

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.080
<v Speaker 1>is screaming and trying to beat down the doors and

0:10:36.120 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>say why are you not prepared to even sit down

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>and talk to somebody in the mainstream media about what

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:42.920
<v Speaker 1>your views are.

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 6>So Kamala Harris has received some criticism for the fact

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.000
<v Speaker 6>that she's doing this interview not alone. She's not just

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.679
<v Speaker 6>doing an interview as for the first time as the

0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.600
<v Speaker 6>Democratic nominee for president. She's bringing her running mate, Governor

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:56.800
<v Speaker 6>Tim Waltz with her. You think that's significant.

0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it is significant. I mean, look, the official

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.120
<v Speaker 1>line that they're giving, well after a convention, that's what

0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.480
<v Speaker 1>always happens, that both of them sit down together, but

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>that's when the interview takes place, like right at the

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.199
<v Speaker 1>convention or after the convention, it's been a couple of weeks.

0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.240
<v Speaker 6>Or maybe even before the convention, after the person's been

0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 6>named as the run exactly exactly.

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean this to me, clearly, he is the chaperone.

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:19.120
<v Speaker 1>He's the one that if we get one of her

0:11:19.120 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 1>word salads, if she kind of goes off and talks

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.240
<v Speaker 1>about coconut trees again, he's somebody that can kind of

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>bring it back in kind of a strange way. I mean,

0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>this guy is not what you would call sort of

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:35.040
<v Speaker 1>a calming, settling influence. But that's clear to me that

0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the reason that he's going to be doing this interview.

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 1>And then the question is going to become after this

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 1>because I imagine the interview is going to go pretty well.

0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:44.480
<v Speaker 1>Dana Bash is going to ask, you know, easy questions.

0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Let's remember that her former husband was one of the

0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>fifty one intelligence people that signed that document, you know,

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.600
<v Speaker 1>helping the Biden campaign saying that the Hunter Biden laptop

0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 1>was Russian disinformation. You know, So it's going to be

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>a pretty easy interview. Then the question becomes one she

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.720
<v Speaker 1>actually gonna do one on her own with somebody that's

0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:07.120
<v Speaker 1>even slightly possibly going to ask her aggressive questions.

0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.520
<v Speaker 6>No, it's a great question. I'd like to compare what's

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.320
<v Speaker 6>happening now to if you ever bought a house, And

0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 6>the way we buy houses in this country is super

0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 6>weird because you look online, you get excited about what

0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.480
<v Speaker 6>you see, and then you like go and tour the house,

0:12:19.520 --> 0:12:20.800
<v Speaker 6>and then you agree to buy the house, and then

0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 6>you do the inspection and then you find out what's wrong,

0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 6>and then you question all your life choices and try

0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:28.319
<v Speaker 6>to renegotiate the price. So we've been sold in Chicago,

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 6>and for the last forty plus days we see the

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:34.640
<v Speaker 6>gloss these Zillow pictures of the Kamala Harris house online,

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.200
<v Speaker 6>and tonight for the first time we get maybe a

0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 6>sneak peek at the inspection report, we find out, you know,

0:12:39.679 --> 0:12:42.440
<v Speaker 6>are there cobwebs in the attic? Are there migrants hiding

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:46.520
<v Speaker 6>in the basement? Are there structural problems? As lots of

0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.120
<v Speaker 6>the reporting before this time has suggested that there are.

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 6>So we hope that there's at least something resembling a

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.600
<v Speaker 6>decent inspection of the presidential campaign. But we don't think

0:12:54.600 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 6>that that's going to happen.

0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.160
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think that's going to happen because, look,

0:12:57.200 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean CNN in addition to having the bias that

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:01.800
<v Speaker 1>they have, and you know, look, we used to work

0:13:01.840 --> 0:13:05.720
<v Speaker 1>with CNN all the time, not anymore, but they have

0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.840
<v Speaker 1>their biases. But on top of that, this is the

0:13:07.880 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>way that the media game is played by the Democrats.

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:15.679
<v Speaker 1>If they press her with aggressive questions, guess what, CNN's

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>not going to get any more interviews, They're not going

0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to get any access. They played this game very well.

0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:21.800
<v Speaker 1>And this is where you have to give Donald Trump

0:13:21.840 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of credit. Trump goes on CNN, He's agreed

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>to do a debate on ABC News, knowing sort of

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.160
<v Speaker 1>the hostility of some of the journalists there, so he's

0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 1>willing to go off and have tough questions hurled at him.

0:13:36.320 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>She's not demonstrating the ability to even sit down with

0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:42.560
<v Speaker 1>friendly journalists, not you know, to mention hostile ones. And

0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.720
<v Speaker 1>of course the question is if if you can't stand

0:13:44.800 --> 0:13:47.840
<v Speaker 1>up to a hostile media question, how are you going

0:13:47.880 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 1>to stand up to g how are you going to

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:50.160
<v Speaker 1>stand up to putin No.

0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 6>It's a great question. It's one that won't be asked

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.920
<v Speaker 6>by CNN Data Bash tonight. But that's okay, that's what

0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:57.559
<v Speaker 6>we're here for. We're taking your calls at Winnie hundred

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:00.360
<v Speaker 6>nine four one Sean went hundred nine four one one

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.600
<v Speaker 6>seven three to two six. When we come back, Peter

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:04.599
<v Speaker 6>Schweitzer and me Eric Eggers, we'll tell you some of

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.880
<v Speaker 6>the things you won't hear tonight on CNA. We'll tell

0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.559
<v Speaker 6>you some of the problems that have already been exposed

0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.360
<v Speaker 6>in the foundation of this Kamala Harris campaign. We've got

0:14:12.400 --> 0:14:15.000
<v Speaker 6>a bit of a lying problem in both Kamala Harris

0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 6>and Tim Moff. We'll tell you about that next and

0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.520
<v Speaker 6>the other side of this break on the Sean Handy Show.

0:14:18.520 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 6>Thanks for being with us.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>It's Peter Schweitzer and Eric Eggers. We are filling in

0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:24.800
<v Speaker 1>for Sean Handerdy joined the conversation one eight hundred nine

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 1>to four to one Sean one eight hundred and nine

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 1>four one seven, three, two six. We are talking about

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris, the anticipation that she's actually gonna face down

0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:37.960
<v Speaker 1>Dana Bash with Tom tim Waltz. There of course, Uh,

0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 1>the interview coming out tonight, everybody's a buzz. But you

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.160
<v Speaker 1>were talking earlier before the break about the fact that

0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:46.600
<v Speaker 1>there is a history here with both Walls and Kamala Harris,

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:49.920
<v Speaker 1>with frankly lying about their past in small things but

0:14:50.000 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>also in some big things as well.

0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it seems kind of inconsequential, but when you consider

0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.440
<v Speaker 6>the larger context, if you like, whether or not you

0:14:56.480 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 6>consider the coconut tree as part of that, then I

0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.040
<v Speaker 6>think it maybe adds up to wait, why should we

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.280
<v Speaker 6>believe you? So Kamala Harris started claiming in twenty nineteen,

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.520
<v Speaker 6>and Breitbart's reporting that some reporting really well done by

0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 6>the Washington Free Beacon. She started claiming that she had

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:13.240
<v Speaker 6>a job at McDonald's, you know, when she was younger.

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.440
<v Speaker 6>But she first mentions it in twenty nineteen. There's no

0:15:15.600 --> 0:15:18.480
<v Speaker 6>mention of it in either of her memoirs which came

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.040
<v Speaker 6>out obviously she was launching and building her political career.

0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 6>And then the Washington Free Beacon has gone and gotten

0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:26.440
<v Speaker 6>a form of a nineteen eighty seven job application in

0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:31.160
<v Speaker 6>which she has been required to list every previous employment experience.

0:15:31.360 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 6>Guess what's not on there?

0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>McDonald.

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.400
<v Speaker 6>McDonald's is not on there. And so it's like if

0:15:35.440 --> 0:15:37.800
<v Speaker 6>they're lying about that, like if Tim Waltz is lying

0:15:37.840 --> 0:15:41.920
<v Speaker 6>about winning the Young Nebraskan Award, and you know, lying

0:15:41.960 --> 0:15:44.240
<v Speaker 6>about much larger things like did you carry a weapon

0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.440
<v Speaker 6>in war? What was your rank? I think they starts

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:48.280
<v Speaker 6>to add up to a credibility problem that a good

0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.760
<v Speaker 6>media should hold them accountable.

0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>For they should and in fact things of really high consequence.

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:55.640
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk about this in the four o'clock hour.

0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Kamala Harris ha is tout of the fact that she

0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 1>has been an aggressive prosecut of sexual crimes against minors.

0:16:02.880 --> 0:16:06.120
<v Speaker 1>That is perhaps I think the biggest lie that he

0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 1>has shown. In fact, we're going to show in the

0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:11.720
<v Speaker 1>four o'clock hour how she actually covered up massive numbers

0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.160
<v Speaker 1>of crimes in San Francisco when she was a prosecutor,

0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:18.680
<v Speaker 1>that she did so because the people that were backing

0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:24.480
<v Speaker 1>her campaign financially were desiring that this problem just sort

0:16:24.520 --> 0:16:27.680
<v Speaker 1>of go away. And it's a massive scandal that has

0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:30.479
<v Speaker 1>been hinted at by a couple news outlets. The Associated

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.200
<v Speaker 1>Press covered it in a slight way in twenty nineteen,

0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:35.320
<v Speaker 1>but we are going to dissect it in this entirety.

0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Coming up after this break, we're going to be talking

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>to the great John Voight about the new film Reagan.

0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:46.040
<v Speaker 3>Didn't the IRS scandal and the NSA atrocities convince you

0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:50.680
<v Speaker 3>you need a watch dog on Washington with insider sources.

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:56.480
<v Speaker 6>You need Hannity every day. Welcome back. It is this

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:59.520
<v Speaker 6>Sean Handy Show. Eric Eggers and Peter Schwartzer fill in

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 6>for Sean, and we're so excited not just about our

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:05.320
<v Speaker 6>next guest, but about the film that he's in, which

0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:10.439
<v Speaker 6>debuts in theaters nationwide tomorrow. It's Reagan, which doesn't take

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 6>a genius figure out. It's about Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan.

0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:14.560
<v Speaker 6>Peter Schweizer, you actually wrote a book and have been

0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 6>involved in a film about Ronald Reagan as well.

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:17.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:21.439
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, a great, wonderful, heroic figure and I'm thrilled to

0:17:21.440 --> 0:17:24.440
<v Speaker 1>have John voight with us because not only is one

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:27.120
<v Speaker 1>of my favorite actors, but he's actually in this film

0:17:27.160 --> 0:17:29.520
<v Speaker 1>and he plays I think, a very important role because

0:17:29.600 --> 0:17:33.119
<v Speaker 1>I've always believed that the people that understood Reagan the

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:36.560
<v Speaker 1>best were the Soviets, and that's why they hated him

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.359
<v Speaker 1>so much, because they knew what he was about. John,

0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:39.960
<v Speaker 1>are you there.

0:17:40.760 --> 0:17:45.400
<v Speaker 4>Yes, I'm with you, guys. I'm you two of my heroes.

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:50.000
<v Speaker 4>So I'm just thinking to my heroes doing what they do.

0:17:51.160 --> 0:17:54.760
<v Speaker 1>You are wonderful. I have enjoyed so many of your films,

0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm looking forward to seeing Reagan. I have not

0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.600
<v Speaker 1>seen it yet. Tell me, John, what was it like

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.840
<v Speaker 1>when they came to you about this film and they

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 1>told you, we don't actually want you to play Reagan

0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.080
<v Speaker 1>or whin of Reagan's people. We want you to play

0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:11.000
<v Speaker 1>this KGB agent who's trying to dissect who Reagan is

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:12.280
<v Speaker 1>and counter what Reagan does.

0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, I thought that they showed me the script

0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.520
<v Speaker 4>and I it was a big, sprawling script at the time,

0:18:22.200 --> 0:18:28.320
<v Speaker 4>and Dennis was attached to it, and they and I

0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.240
<v Speaker 4>looked at it and I thought it was a very

0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:36.160
<v Speaker 4>good idea that they had to show this fellow who

0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:43.480
<v Speaker 4>actually carry he's assigned to follow the people who might

0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:47.240
<v Speaker 4>be a danger into the future. So they have having

0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 4>profiles of various people across the world, and they found

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:55.800
<v Speaker 4>this guy who's talking against communism and was a successful

0:18:55.840 --> 0:18:58.960
<v Speaker 4>actor in Hollywood and then had a political bent too.

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:02.640
<v Speaker 4>So they want from the beginning, and they put this

0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:05.800
<v Speaker 4>in the film. They put this guy onto him. Now,

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.239
<v Speaker 4>this is not a real character of that name, but

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:14.320
<v Speaker 4>it represented several people that were doing this work for

0:19:14.359 --> 0:19:17.520
<v Speaker 4>the Soviets, and so I thought it was appropriate. And

0:19:17.560 --> 0:19:22.119
<v Speaker 4>I thought anybody who followed Reagan, you know, would be

0:19:22.200 --> 0:19:26.320
<v Speaker 4>affected by him. And I thought that the film charted

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:28.480
<v Speaker 4>that kind of course, and it was a good idea,

0:19:28.920 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 4>and I was right. I think when you see the film,

0:19:31.560 --> 0:19:36.439
<v Speaker 4>you'll you'll see that it works quite well. And it

0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:41.520
<v Speaker 4>would have been lesser had had somebody else been the

0:19:43.160 --> 0:19:49.400
<v Speaker 4>narrator of his rise and his challenges and his and

0:19:49.800 --> 0:19:51.159
<v Speaker 4>interpreting his work. You know.

0:19:52.000 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, I think Peter and I both believe this is

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.520
<v Speaker 6>an important film that occurs in an important moment in

0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 6>time in this nation, and so we're very excited about

0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.080
<v Speaker 6>the fact that so many people will get the chance

0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 6>to see this film. John I did a little bit

0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:07.680
<v Speaker 6>of research into you in your process, and you've spoken

0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 6>repeatedly about the importance of preparation in how you've become

0:20:11.640 --> 0:20:13.640
<v Speaker 6>such an accomplished actor. And I'm just wondering in your

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:16.719
<v Speaker 6>efforts and your preparation to play someone who works in

0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:19.600
<v Speaker 6>Communist Russia, which democrat did you watch the most?

0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:31.280
<v Speaker 4>That's it? Well, you know, thing, the joke is very telling. Obviously,

0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.520
<v Speaker 4>there is behavior that is in our own country and

0:20:35.840 --> 0:20:38.920
<v Speaker 4>one of our political parties that is very similar to

0:20:38.960 --> 0:20:45.680
<v Speaker 4>the Soviet behavior. And unfortunately, but there was a fellow

0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:49.639
<v Speaker 4>by name of Yuri Besmanov. Do you know anything about those? Oh? Yes, yes,

0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:54.399
<v Speaker 4>well he's he was an amazing fellow who was a

0:20:54.480 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 4>dissident from the Soviet Union, became was a spy, was

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:05.400
<v Speaker 4>an effect if spy, I think, and then found that

0:21:05.880 --> 0:21:10.800
<v Speaker 4>he couldn't continue. He was sickened by what he saw

0:21:10.840 --> 0:21:13.480
<v Speaker 4>on what he was asked to do, and he became

0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:15.880
<v Speaker 4>a dissident, and then he found himself in this country,

0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:20.160
<v Speaker 4>in the United States, and then at one point he

0:21:20.240 --> 0:21:24.760
<v Speaker 4>felt probably that he had a responsibility, had a moment

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.239
<v Speaker 4>of conscience he said, I know what's going on, and

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:30.560
<v Speaker 4>I should tell them you know, Bull should warn them,

0:21:30.680 --> 0:21:34.840
<v Speaker 4>and so he went on, and I made an effort

0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:38.439
<v Speaker 4>to get people the information about what was happening to

0:21:38.480 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 4>our country, how we were being eroded from within, and

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 4>the techniques involved in that. And so so I went

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.280
<v Speaker 4>to school on him. I thought he was a terrific

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 4>guy and very smart and very laid out the plan

0:21:56.320 --> 0:22:02.520
<v Speaker 4>very clearly, and it followed. It followed what the script

0:22:02.560 --> 0:22:06.760
<v Speaker 4>was saying about this character, and you know, the unions

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:13.399
<v Speaker 4>getting involved with the unions and had the focus on

0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:17.960
<v Speaker 4>Hollywood and the press and stuff. So so anyway, it

0:22:18.640 --> 0:22:20.840
<v Speaker 4>was a good connection, and I kind of based my

0:22:20.960 --> 0:22:23.639
<v Speaker 4>character a little bit on and the things that I

0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:26.000
<v Speaker 4>found out from your investment off.

0:22:27.119 --> 0:22:29.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it seems to me. Again, I haven't seen the film,

0:22:29.320 --> 0:22:31.320
<v Speaker 1>but I'm familiar with the book that the film was

0:22:31.400 --> 0:22:33.760
<v Speaker 1>based on, a great book done by my dear friend

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Paul Kengor. So this is really a film, I think,

0:22:37.680 --> 0:22:41.960
<v Speaker 1>ultimately about character and leadership. So you know, when people

0:22:42.000 --> 0:22:43.720
<v Speaker 1>think of ou, oh, it's a film about Reagan that

0:22:43.840 --> 0:22:46.480
<v Speaker 1>was forty years ago, it's really not. This is kind

0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:51.520
<v Speaker 1>of timeless principles of leadership. When you think of Reagan

0:22:51.800 --> 0:22:55.200
<v Speaker 1>and what he accomplished and your work in this film,

0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:59.000
<v Speaker 1>what are those character traits that really stand out to

0:22:59.040 --> 0:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>you with Reagan and how are they important and relevant

0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:04.000
<v Speaker 1>today because we don't face the Soviet Union, but we

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:07.200
<v Speaker 1>face China, we face all these other threats, we face

0:23:07.320 --> 0:23:10.600
<v Speaker 1>domestic threats that I would argue are as relevant and

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:13.119
<v Speaker 1>as dangerous as the Soviet Union ever was during the

0:23:13.119 --> 0:23:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Cold War.

0:23:14.480 --> 0:23:20.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I agree with you. I think I think we

0:23:20.240 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 4>are seeing a great similarity to what Reagan was warning about.

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:34.240
<v Speaker 4>And the thing that he didn't, you know, wasn't able

0:23:34.280 --> 0:23:37.919
<v Speaker 4>to erase was the work that was done since the

0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:44.720
<v Speaker 4>forties and fifties, you know, finding ways into our country

0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:52.840
<v Speaker 4>and into our various spots, you know, like the universities

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.600
<v Speaker 4>and and you know, taking God out of the schools

0:23:56.680 --> 0:23:59.919
<v Speaker 4>was one of their plans, so, you know, focusing on

0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 4>these young people coming up, getting into the universities and

0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:08.920
<v Speaker 4>key positions, getting into the teachers' unions, getting into places,

0:24:10.920 --> 0:24:14.840
<v Speaker 4>into the press. And they have very very specific ideas

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.320
<v Speaker 4>about what to get into, get into the editorial position

0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.840
<v Speaker 4>and newspapers, getting into this and that, and they had

0:24:22.880 --> 0:24:27.920
<v Speaker 4>a menu of many There was a book out called

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.840
<v Speaker 4>A Naked Communist by a former FBI agent in nineteen

0:24:31.880 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 4>fifty eight came out, and much of that went into

0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:46.119
<v Speaker 4>our own files, and we knew all about it, you know,

0:24:46.200 --> 0:24:50.160
<v Speaker 4>what was happening to us, and yet we didn't raise

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 4>the alarm at all over those years. And it happened

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:59.400
<v Speaker 4>over my lifetime. I saw it happen, how they took

0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:02.040
<v Speaker 4>over the you know, we see the result of it

0:25:02.359 --> 0:25:06.280
<v Speaker 4>with all of these demonstrations and the and the you know,

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:10.480
<v Speaker 4>when the presidents of these universities expressed expressed themselves, we

0:25:10.600 --> 0:25:14.320
<v Speaker 4>realized that these people are competent, and they're wrong headed,

0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:17.800
<v Speaker 4>and they're dangerous, and that's who are who's running these

0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:25.280
<v Speaker 4>these universities now. So they accomplished all that over the years.

0:25:25.520 --> 0:25:28.520
<v Speaker 4>Once it started, it just took off and had its

0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.560
<v Speaker 4>own energy. And that we're facing the full bloom of

0:25:31.600 --> 0:25:34.840
<v Speaker 4>it right now. So when you say it's like the

0:25:34.840 --> 0:25:39.320
<v Speaker 4>civic union here, yeah, there's a lot of there's a

0:25:39.320 --> 0:25:44.840
<v Speaker 4>lot of aspects to that. We are really taken over

0:25:44.920 --> 0:25:45.520
<v Speaker 4>from within.

0:25:46.880 --> 0:25:51.280
<v Speaker 6>Well speak with legendary actor and Hollywood legend John Voight.

0:25:51.440 --> 0:25:54.800
<v Speaker 6>John stars in the film Reagan, which debuts and theaters

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:59.320
<v Speaker 6>tomorrow nationwide. I was curious because You've had this amazing

0:25:59.400 --> 0:26:03.360
<v Speaker 6>career and you've managed to star in blockbusters and mainstream films.

0:26:04.080 --> 0:26:07.160
<v Speaker 6>This film, hopefully as a blockbuster, hopefully does incredibly well.

0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:10.879
<v Speaker 6>But it's clearly a film with a conservative message in ethos,

0:26:11.320 --> 0:26:14.200
<v Speaker 6>in terms of traditional American values. Films like that seem

0:26:14.280 --> 0:26:18.080
<v Speaker 6>to attract the same smaller group of actors. Is that

0:26:18.160 --> 0:26:22.560
<v Speaker 6>a coincidence or is it challenging for people that might

0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:24.399
<v Speaker 6>believe in these types of things to work in a

0:26:24.400 --> 0:26:26.960
<v Speaker 6>film like this and then get regular mainstream work because

0:26:27.000 --> 0:26:28.680
<v Speaker 6>you seem like you've been able to do that throughout

0:26:28.720 --> 0:26:29.199
<v Speaker 6>your career.

0:26:30.160 --> 0:26:32.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah. Well, there's been a division in Hollywood, there's no

0:26:33.000 --> 0:26:38.240
<v Speaker 4>doubt about it. It's very difficult for conservative actors or

0:26:38.280 --> 0:26:42.920
<v Speaker 4>to be openly conservative. So it's been a tough time.

0:26:43.000 --> 0:26:46.920
<v Speaker 4>But hopefully that's turning around because of the economics involved.

0:26:46.960 --> 0:26:52.520
<v Speaker 4>You know, people are yearning for films that have a

0:26:52.720 --> 0:26:58.800
<v Speaker 4>moral base and celebrate our countries too, So we'll see,

0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.960
<v Speaker 4>we'll see a change. But we're right in the middle

0:27:02.000 --> 0:27:04.679
<v Speaker 4>of the war of it now, don't you think this

0:27:04.840 --> 0:27:05.120
<v Speaker 4>is it?

0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:08.760
<v Speaker 6>Yeah? Yeah, yep, exactly, which makes people showing up to

0:27:08.760 --> 0:27:11.439
<v Speaker 6>see the film this weekend all the more relevant, right,

0:27:11.440 --> 0:27:13.199
<v Speaker 6>if you want to support projects, like I said, you

0:27:13.200 --> 0:27:15.520
<v Speaker 6>want to see more films like this than films like

0:27:15.560 --> 0:27:16.480
<v Speaker 6>this have to do well.

0:27:17.720 --> 0:27:21.240
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well I think yes. I'm hoping that it will

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:23.760
<v Speaker 4>do very well. It's a great film, by the way,

0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:26.800
<v Speaker 4>for people who are listening, it's a wonderful film. And

0:27:27.359 --> 0:27:30.320
<v Speaker 4>the acting is terrific, and the script is terrific. It's

0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:32.840
<v Speaker 4>just a great film. It leaves you with a terrific feeling,

0:27:34.760 --> 0:27:38.680
<v Speaker 4>and it's also very moving, and it's also a portrait

0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:42.880
<v Speaker 4>of a love story. It shows you the story between

0:27:43.040 --> 0:27:48.720
<v Speaker 4>Nancy and Van had had a beautiful of beautiful life together.

0:27:48.920 --> 0:27:52.080
<v Speaker 4>They relied on each other, they were a partnership, and

0:27:52.720 --> 0:27:56.800
<v Speaker 4>it was a great love story. And the performances of

0:27:57.760 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Dennis and penelopean Miller are just wonderful, so I know,

0:28:03.920 --> 0:28:06.119
<v Speaker 4>you know, and you can bring the family to it,

0:28:06.160 --> 0:28:10.800
<v Speaker 4>of course. So it's a terrific film. Go see it.

0:28:11.000 --> 0:28:13.560
<v Speaker 4>You don't want to more than once, probably it's great.

0:28:13.840 --> 0:28:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, we are definitely going to see it. I

0:28:16.600 --> 0:28:18.919
<v Speaker 1>haven't seen a movie in the theater in a while, just

0:28:18.920 --> 0:28:20.760
<v Speaker 1>because there's so much out there that I don't like.

0:28:20.840 --> 0:28:22.879
<v Speaker 1>But I am looking forward to seeing this and We

0:28:22.960 --> 0:28:26.320
<v Speaker 1>appreciate you, John very much making the time. I loved

0:28:26.359 --> 0:28:29.520
<v Speaker 1>your work over the years. We appreciate your outspokenness and

0:28:29.920 --> 0:28:32.760
<v Speaker 1>just the great body of work that you've done over

0:28:32.800 --> 0:28:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the course of the decades, and we look forward to

0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>hearing about what's next.

0:28:36.960 --> 0:28:39.400
<v Speaker 4>That's wonderful. It's great to talk to you both.

0:28:39.640 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Much love, thank you, thank you. We're talking with a

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:46.479
<v Speaker 1>great John Voight. The film coming up is Reagan. Definitely.

0:28:46.520 --> 0:28:47.960
<v Speaker 1>When was the last time you went to the theater?

0:28:48.080 --> 0:28:51.320
<v Speaker 6>Eric, Well, I have small children, so I'm regularly looking

0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:54.080
<v Speaker 6>to kind of farm out my parenting responsibility and I'm

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:56.200
<v Speaker 6>happy to let the godless Heaven to the Hollywood Tale

0:28:56.280 --> 0:28:58.800
<v Speaker 6>handle that for a little while. And I'm even willing

0:28:58.800 --> 0:29:01.720
<v Speaker 6>to overpay for popcorn to do it. So I'm there.

0:29:03.480 --> 0:29:05.240
<v Speaker 6>But he is Peter Swizer. I Americ Eggers, and he

0:29:05.280 --> 0:29:07.560
<v Speaker 6>can judge my parenting later. This is the Sean Handy Show.

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:10.280
<v Speaker 6>We'll be right back after this. Welcome back. It's Eric

0:29:10.320 --> 0:29:12.479
<v Speaker 6>Eggers and Peter Schwitz are feeling in for Sean Handy

0:29:12.520 --> 0:29:15.280
<v Speaker 6>on a Thursday afternoon. Now, Peter, we were just speaking

0:29:15.320 --> 0:29:17.280
<v Speaker 6>during the break. We just talked to the legendary John

0:29:17.360 --> 0:29:19.800
<v Speaker 6>Voyd who's starring in this film about Ron Reagan, which

0:29:19.800 --> 0:29:22.600
<v Speaker 6>debuts again in theaters this weekend. Now you have another

0:29:22.720 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 6>California politician who's running for president, and one difference between

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.040
<v Speaker 6>the two of them is when Ron Reagan ran for president,

0:29:28.080 --> 0:29:30.560
<v Speaker 6>he'd lived his career very much in the public spotlight,

0:29:30.560 --> 0:29:33.120
<v Speaker 6>had been an actor, he'd been governor. We knew a

0:29:33.120 --> 0:29:36.360
<v Speaker 6>lot about his past and even policy reversals he'd experienced

0:29:36.400 --> 0:29:39.640
<v Speaker 6>and explained. But Kamala Harris is maybe less so that way.

0:29:39.920 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's right, And I think one of the things

0:29:41.840 --> 0:29:44.040
<v Speaker 1>we try to do with the Government Accountability Institute, we

0:29:44.080 --> 0:29:46.280
<v Speaker 1>try to do on our podcast, the drill Down, is

0:29:46.320 --> 0:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>exposed stories that the media is not covering when they're zigging,

0:29:49.920 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 1>we're zagging because ultimately that's how you get information out.

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And the problem is you ask most people, even informed people,

0:29:57.120 --> 0:30:00.360
<v Speaker 1>what they actually know about what Kamala Harris did as

0:30:00.400 --> 0:30:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a prosecutor or what she didn't do as a prosecutor.

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:06.360
<v Speaker 1>When you look at some of the other scandalous questions

0:30:06.400 --> 0:30:10.000
<v Speaker 1>about conflicts of interest, about covering up potential crimes for

0:30:10.680 --> 0:30:14.840
<v Speaker 1>family members or for major campaign donors, nobody knows about it.

0:30:15.040 --> 0:30:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Nobody knows about it. So we're going to talk about

0:30:16.960 --> 0:30:19.160
<v Speaker 1>that here in the four o'clock hour and do the

0:30:19.280 --> 0:30:21.800
<v Speaker 1>job that the media is not doing, because this is

0:30:21.880 --> 0:30:24.760
<v Speaker 1>information that everybody should know. And here we are. She

0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:28.320
<v Speaker 1>might be president in a couple of months, and people

0:30:28.680 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 1>know very little about her record when she was in California.

0:30:33.440 --> 0:30:36.000
<v Speaker 6>Now that's despite your best efforts, because you actually did

0:30:36.040 --> 0:30:38.479
<v Speaker 6>a whole chapter on Kamala Harris and your book, Profiles

0:30:38.520 --> 0:30:40.680
<v Speaker 6>and the Corruption, which came out in twenty twenty. Yeah,

0:30:40.760 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 6>so this is four years ago when we kind of

0:30:42.280 --> 0:30:46.320
<v Speaker 6>did it an analysis of the political vulnerabilities and scandals

0:30:46.360 --> 0:30:49.080
<v Speaker 6>and corruption examples that were true for a number of

0:30:49.120 --> 0:30:52.000
<v Speaker 6>potential Democratic front wrots Kamala Harris. I think we had

0:30:52.000 --> 0:30:54.560
<v Speaker 6>some of the better material there, but that's not stuff

0:30:54.600 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 6>you've seen anywhere else. It hasn't been reference on a

0:30:57.320 --> 0:30:59.880
<v Speaker 6>regular basis, and that's because Kamala Harris herself as a

0:31:00.000 --> 0:31:03.920
<v Speaker 6>presidential candidate performed so poorly. She didn't do well enough

0:31:03.960 --> 0:31:06.960
<v Speaker 6>to even get asked the tough questions. And what's crazy

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 6>is that she's now managed to become the actual presidential

0:31:09.600 --> 0:31:13.080
<v Speaker 6>nominee without winning any primaries or without facing again any

0:31:13.200 --> 0:31:16.360
<v Speaker 6>challenging questions that allegedly changed tonight. I don't think it will.

0:31:16.560 --> 0:31:19.120
<v Speaker 6>But the point is that's why this information matters so much.

0:31:19.200 --> 0:31:20.560
<v Speaker 6>This has been out there for four years, but you

0:31:20.640 --> 0:31:23.800
<v Speaker 6>probably haven't heard about it. Major scandals related to Kamala Harris.

0:31:23.840 --> 0:31:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we've got new updates on Kamala Harris. And I

0:31:26.440 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's important to understand where and how she uses

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:33.760
<v Speaker 1>power because when she was a prosecutor in California, she

0:31:34.080 --> 0:31:37.920
<v Speaker 1>engaged in massive abuses of power. And I think when

0:31:37.960 --> 0:31:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you look at the sort of things that are happening

0:31:39.440 --> 0:31:42.440
<v Speaker 1>in the Department of Justice under Joe Biden, I will

0:31:42.440 --> 0:31:44.440
<v Speaker 1>tell you if she becomes president of the United States,

0:31:44.520 --> 0:31:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you probably have not seen anything remotely resembling what she's

0:31:49.240 --> 0:31:52.360
<v Speaker 1>about to do because her ability to use and abuse

0:31:52.480 --> 0:31:56.120
<v Speaker 1>the power of the courts for her political benefit is

0:31:56.200 --> 0:31:57.200
<v Speaker 1>unmatched in my mind.

0:31:57.280 --> 0:31:58.920
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, and by the way, we'll hear in the five

0:31:58.920 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 6>o'clock hour from somebody who lived under Tim Waltz's Minnesota

0:32:01.760 --> 0:32:04.240
<v Speaker 6>COVID tyranny who will say, you do not want this

0:32:04.440 --> 0:32:07.360
<v Speaker 6>lack of liberty at the federal level. So coming up,

0:32:07.440 --> 0:32:10.400
<v Speaker 6>we will hear about Kamala Harris and the lies she's

0:32:10.440 --> 0:32:12.280
<v Speaker 6>telling you and how it covers up the real scandal

0:32:12.320 --> 0:32:14.200
<v Speaker 6>and a trackerd that's next on The Sean Hanny Show.
