She's got 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:59,040 Speaker 1: a brand new book that is outstanding, Democracy, The Road 20 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: to Freedom. Believe it is the long Road to freedom. 21 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 1: And I've been reading it it's it's so relevant to 22 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,240 Speaker 1: what we're dealing with with Iran and North Korea, in 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: the Middle East and and everything else that's going on 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: in the world. And and but and she, unlike a 25 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: lot of republic she's friends with the president, and she's 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: advised the president. She met with the President I think 27 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: last week in Washington. So she is somebody that has 28 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: been there understands a lot of these problems. It's democracy 29 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: stories from the long Road to freedom is something I 30 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,639 Speaker 1: pointed out off and on this show. Last century alone, 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: a hundred million human souls, fellow human beings slaughtered in 32 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: the name of some is m communism, stalin Russia, um, 33 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: the former Soviet Union, that would include Nazism, fascionism. You know, 34 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: so many isms out there that kill men, women and 35 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: children in the advancement of an ideology is sick, twisted, evil, 36 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: disgusting ideology, and one that we better understand a day, 37 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: especially in the world of ISIS and North Korea and 38 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: Kim Jong un and radical Islam and I and and 39 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,919 Speaker 1: of course the radical regime in Tehran that Mullah's that 40 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: want to marry up with weapons of mass destruction and 41 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: threatened to annihilate Israel, annihilate the United States. It is. 42 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: It is a very clear present danger. I can't understand 43 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: those people that don't think that this could ever happen again, 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: because it can. And if to deny that simple, fundamental, 45 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 1: basic truth is just denying human history and human reality 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: and the whole human experience. And we better prepare for 47 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:42,120 Speaker 1: these battles because if we don't, will be the victim. 48 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: And I think there's an opportunity that is emerging around 49 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 1: the world that is unprecedented, especially as it relates to 50 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: the Middle East, and and the one thing that Obama did, 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,680 Speaker 1: as a sort of coincidental or in spite of him, 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: maybe because of him, has created at a moment in 53 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: history where a lot of our Middle Eastern problems can 54 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: be resolved because now the Saudias and the Israelis are 55 00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 1: emerging and creating a new alliance as the Egyptians and 56 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: the Israelis have, as the Jordanians and the Israelis have, 57 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: and as the Emirates and the Israelis have, and the 58 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: fact that the Sunni Muslim world looks to Israel to 59 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: protect them against the Rani and hegemony in the region 60 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: is a moment of truth for anybody that wants to 61 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: see a safer, better world. We're ever going to agree 62 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: with the Saudis, and they're horrible, you know, evil treatment 63 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 1: of women and gays and lesbians and persecution of Christians 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: and Jews. Know, but it's a it's a start. You know. 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: We did partner with the former Soviet Union to defeat 66 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: Nazism in World War Two, and it's too bad we 67 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: didn't build upon that alliance. Cold War perhaps could have 68 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: ended a lot sooner, or he could have taken patents 69 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 1: advice and go straight into Russia at the time, which 70 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: is something that he was advocating for. All Right, We've 71 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: we got that. Now. One other investigation we've got coming 72 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: up on the program today. We now are continuing our 73 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: deep dive, investigative dive into surveillance, unmasking, intelligence leaking that 74 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 1: everybody in the all left propaganda destroyed Trump media has 75 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 1: been ignoring. And that is how is it possible there 76 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: is a four hundred increase in the year in surveillance 77 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 1: and unmasking of Americans. Now, if you look at the statements, 78 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 1: I was out on Friday, but you know late Thursday 79 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: night or or Friday morning, I forget when Senator Ram 80 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: Paul of Kentucky came out publicly believing that he was 81 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 1: bite upon. We don't haven't seen the evidence, but we 82 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: have several sources telling us that members of the Obama 83 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: administration were looking at political politicians, particularly people are running 84 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: for office. Okay, particularly people. Now my sources are beginning 85 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 1: to filter back to meet things that they're looking into, 86 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: and I want to be cleared, not confirmed, not corroborated. 87 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: But this is now like peeling off layers of an 88 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: onion here to get to the source. In other words, 89 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: the only reason there would be a fo increase in 90 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: the surveillance of Americans. Now, remember, we have constitutional protections 91 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 1: for the Amendment, constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure. 92 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: If the government, if the n s A, if the 93 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: c i A, if the FBI, if any of these 94 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: agencies that have surveillance capable ability want to surveil you, 95 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 1: they don't have a right to tap your phone. It's illegal. Uh. 96 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: If they want to look into your text, it's illegal. 97 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: If they want to look into your emails, it's illegal. 98 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: You have a right to privacy. By the way, liberals 99 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: often say it, but they don't mean it just like 100 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 1: they don't mean that there. You know, believers of freedom 101 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: of speech either in a lot of different ways. So 102 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: what I'm trying to tell you here is if we 103 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: have a fo increase in surveillance and unmasking of Americans, 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 1: and if what Rand Paul is saying here, and I 105 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: have no reason to doubt them, because I'm getting a 106 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: lot of I'm getting a lot of things thrown in 107 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: my direction that I can't corroborate yet. But my insider 108 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: sources at the highest levels, highest our talent within Congress 109 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: in intelligence people are telling me this is bigger then 110 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: anything we have ever seen in terms of the abuse 111 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: and the trampling of constitutional rights, in their words, the 112 00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: history of the United States of America. It makes Watergate 113 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: look like Kindergarten. I'm getting one Watergate analogy after another. 114 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 1: I'm watching Sally Yates testifying. I don't really want to 115 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 1: talk about her right now. I'll hit her, I'll hit 116 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the truth about her tonight on on Hannity and and 117 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: give you news and information that others won't give you 118 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: in television. But I want you to really focus and 119 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: understand something here. And then Sarah Carter and John Solomon 120 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: will join us later in the program. They also knew 121 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 1: king Ridge today. If if you have a four increase 122 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: increase in surveillance and unmasking in an election year, and 123 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: it includes politicians in particular that are targeted, or I've 124 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: never been able to corroborate by any buddy reports that 125 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,280 Speaker 1: were out there that I was surveiled and on mass, 126 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: I wouldn't doubt it, but I have no evidence whatsoever 127 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: to corroborate it none. But you people ask me because 128 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: they've seen the reports, I've seen them to all I 129 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: know is what I've been reading in the press like you, 130 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:19,040 Speaker 1: with no insider information on that. But my inside sources 131 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: tell me every day this is bigger, that it is 132 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 1: targeted towards Republican politicians, any conservative, high profile conservative that 133 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: supports Trump, that there is unprecedented violation of our constitutional rights, 134 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: specifically the Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, and that this goes 135 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 1: so deep and so wide that the only way that 136 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,600 Speaker 1: the government is allowed to have incidental surveillance of an 137 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: American is if you are caught up in talking to 138 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: somebody that they're actually surveilling a foreign national, for example, 139 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 1: like in the case of Michael Flynn, what happened in 140 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 1: his case was an obvious felony. You know, um, you 141 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: know Sally ate Well, I spoke with the White House 142 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: Council three times about Flynn. She said, today we knew 143 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: what Flynn said was not the truth. Well, the only 144 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: reason that they knew what Flynn said is Sally Yates 145 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: is saying today wasn't the truth is because he was unmasked. 146 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 1: Now you gotta understand is in the case of Flynn, 147 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,960 Speaker 1: they didn't have a a subpoena, they didn't have a 148 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: wire tap, they didn't have a legal designation for him 149 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 1: to to go out there and be surveilled. He's an 150 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,000 Speaker 1: American citizen. He was picked up in what they call 151 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: incidental an incidental pick up because he was talking to 152 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: his future counterparts, and the future counterparts were, in this case, 153 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: a Russian ambassador. And as part of America's national security work, 154 00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 1: they would pay they would surveil Russian ambassadors and an 155 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 1: Iranian ambassadors, and and that's part of what they do. 156 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: That's all legal and they get. But to do it 157 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: to an American you need either viser court approval or 158 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: you need some other court approval that gives you the 159 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: right to surveil an American. And then if you are 160 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 1: picked up in an incidental surveillance, like in the case 161 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:26,360 Speaker 1: of General Flynn, if they do identify, oh, this is 162 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: an American on the line, at that point, they're supposed 163 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: to do a process that's called minimization, minimizing that which 164 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 1: they listened to. As long as you're not talking about 165 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: something that is against the United States, they're not supposed 166 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 1: to just say, oh, well, we're listening to the ambassador. 167 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna listen to Michael General Flynt. And then 168 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: they took it a step further. Then they did something 169 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: that we don't do now. If they have an incidental 170 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 1: pick up of an American and they don't have a 171 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: warrant to listen in on that American, that American has 172 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,079 Speaker 1: Fourth Amendment constitutional protections. If they pick up that you're 173 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: talking to somebody that they legitimately have the right to surveil, 174 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: and that you're picked up, that's called incidental you know, 175 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: recordings of Americans. That's all perfectly legal. The next step 176 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: is to practice minimization. The next step after that is 177 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 1: to write up a report and in most cases standard 178 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 1: operating procedure and Devin Nuni has told me the head 179 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 1: of the Intelligence Committee is not to identify the American 180 00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: even if you know who it is. Now A step 181 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 1: below that or above that is then we've had all 182 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,840 Speaker 1: of these incidents of much higher percentage of Americans that 183 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: were picked up incidentally or on purpose. I know it's 184 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: the real charges that they have used under the guise 185 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: of national security and real intelligence gathering. They have used 186 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,959 Speaker 1: a weapon of intelligence gathering and surveillance to surveil political opponents. 187 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,199 Speaker 1: That's what the bottom line is. Now, if an American 188 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: is then unmasked in the case of General Flint, that 189 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: is a felony. And I'm sitting here listening to Sally Yates. Well, 190 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: we told the White House the public had been misled 191 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: by Flynn. Well, the only way they knew that is 192 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: because of the surveillance and unmasking of Flynn. Who did it? Now? 193 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: Who knew, what, when? And where? I've been asking that 194 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: question from the beginning. What did the President know? What 195 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: did Clapper No? What had Ben Rhodes no? What did 196 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: Susan Rice no? What did Valerie Jarrett No? What did 197 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: Brennan and Clapper no? What did I want to know? 198 00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: What all of them knew and when and who made 199 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 1: the decision to unmask And if there is not a 200 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: justification for on national security grounds for a four increase 201 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: in surveillance and I'm masking of Americans like Circuit News 202 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 1: reported late last week, then that means that our intelligence 203 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: community has been used to spy on Americans illegally and 204 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: then identify them. And that means the Trump campaign a 205 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: political opposition party. The ramifications of this are so massive, 206 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: and it looks like it all happened. And if how 207 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: else would you justify increase? You can't.

Here on the Sean Hannity Show, we 228 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: got Dr Condoleeza Rice's back, former Secretary of State. She's 229 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: really smart and she doesn't do a lot of interviews. 230 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,320 Speaker 1: She wrote a great book. This book is really awesome. 231 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: Newt is with us today. I love to get his perspective. 232 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: You know a lot of people still talking to me 233 00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: about the the healthcare bill, and I'm my guys, you're 234 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 1: not understanding what's going on here. Don't shoot the messenger, 235 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm only the messenger in this. Here's a 236 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: fact there are at least a hundred House Republicans and 237 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna start identifying who's who before before people announced primaries, 238 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 1: et cetera. They're at least a hundred of them that 239 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 1: had no intention of really doing a repeal and replacement bill. 240 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: And you know, I'm reading who was it Susan Collins today, 241 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, saying, oh, House Republicans were wrong to defund 242 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: Planned Parenthood. Well, the person that's doing that is that. 243 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: And by the way, people keep saying that's not gonna happen. 244 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price told us on 245 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: this program, it's gonna happen. We're going to hold him 246 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: accountable like we always do. But this was trust me 247 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: when when Mark Meadows, Jim Jordan's, Dave Bratt, Louie Gomert 248 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 1: had an opportunity to be with Louis on Friday in Texas, 249 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: and I had a great time with Louis, such a 250 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: good guy. And when those guys know that this is 251 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 1: the best we're gonna get, I understand your anger, but 252 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: understand the waiver represents the opportunity. This is the beginning 253 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: of the end of Obamacare. One of the things that 254 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: most people that you're never gonna be able to put 255 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: it back together again. It's like compy empty, and once 256 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: Secretary Price uses the discretion that is allowed to the 257 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: Health and Human Services Secretary, it just dismantles it. And 258 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 1: it's already collapsed of its own weight anyway. So it's 259 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: not like there's anything left to really salvage here. And 260 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 1: now it's just a matter of doing the things that 261 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: I discussed last week, and that is you know, and 262 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 1: this is where where I gotta give the Freedom Caucus 263 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: the most credit, because those waivers allow the competition that 264 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: allows the driving down the rates and the increase in 265 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 1: coverage and opens the door for the solutions like Dr 266 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: Number in Wichita, Kansas for UM healthcare cooperatives. That's that's 267 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: concierge service for fifty bucks a month for everybody in America. 268 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: If you can't afford fifty bucks a month, you can't 269 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: afford healthcare, okay. And then the second thing it does 270 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 1: is open the path for healthcare savings accounts. All right, 271 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 1: So we got Dr Rice Condoleeza, Rice Sarah Carter on surveillance, 272 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,480 Speaker 1: unmasking and leaking and intelligence and new Ing Rich and 273 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: much more and your calls.

And there was a 295 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,920 Speaker 1: reason why healthcare reform had not been accomplished before. It 296 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:35,440 Speaker 1: was hard, It involved a sixth of the economy in 297 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 1: all manner of stakeholders and interests. It was easily subject 298 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: to misinformation and fearmongering. And so by the time the 299 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: vote came up to pass the Affordable Care Act, these 300 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: freshman congressmen and women knew that they had to make 301 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 1: a choice. That they had a chance to ensure millions 302 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:03,160 Speaker 1: and prevent untold worry and suffering and bankruptcy and even death, 303 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: but that this same vote would likely cost them their 304 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 1: new seats, perhaps end their political careers. And these men 305 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 1: and women did the right thing, They did the hard thing. 306 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: Their's was a profile encourage. Because of that vote, twenty 307 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: million people got health insurance who didn't have it before, 308 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: and most of them and most of them did lose 309 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 1: their seats, but they were true to what President Kennedy 310 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 1: define in his book as a congressional profile encourage the 311 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: desire to maintain a reputation for integrity that is stronger 312 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 1: than a desire to maintain office, The desire to maintain 313 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 1: a reputation for integrity that is stronger than a desire 314 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 1: to maintain office. You gotta understand twenty four now toil 315 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 1: the top of the shawn, what you this is somebody 316 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,720 Speaker 1: that is in such a deep, deep state of denial 317 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: everything about Obama care by the way, the Yates and 318 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: say we Warren Flynn could be blackmailed by the Russians. 319 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: Really I don't think so. And what happened to Flynn 320 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: was illegal and a violation of the Espionage Act and 321 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 1: a felony. Again, you can't pick up incidental surveillance unmasked 322 00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: and then leak intelligence. It's illegal. And as we'll point 323 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: out later in the show as we do our deep 324 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 1: dive before to percent increase in surveillance and unmasking and 325 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: leaking intelligence is just the side bar of that. But 326 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 1: we'll get to that with Sarah Carter and John Solomon 327 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 1: later in the program tonight. Um, but I just want 328 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: to get back everything that Obama is now saying he 329 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: sees his entire eight years in the White House all 330 00:20:57,240 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: is illegal and constitutional executive actions. Everything that he fought 331 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 1: for is now literally disintegrating right before his very eyes. 332 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: So the time for the radical Olynsky, Frank Marshall Davis, 333 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: a corn activists, Church of g D America, Reverend Wright, 334 00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: friend of Bill Ayres, and Bernardine Dorn, unrepentant domestic terrorists. 335 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: You know, he never ever ever verged away from his radicalism, 336 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,880 Speaker 1: and now we see he can't stand his entire eight years. 337 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: I said this in January. Well, I said this after 338 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 1: the election. He's it's almost going to be like he 339 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 1: was never there. Keystone xl now on the path, coal 340 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: mining industry back at, back in action. You know, Dakota 341 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: pipeline back in action. Fracking will begin, drilling will begin, 342 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: the path to energy independence begins. The economy is gonna 343 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 1: be literally unshackled in ways that nobody ever dreamed of. 344 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 1: We can kick Congress in the asked a little bit 345 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 1: and get them moving. We want that to happen. We 346 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: want a corporate tax, we want a ten percent repatriation 347 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: when we want seven brackets, the three it was all good. 348 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: The elimination of the double death tax. You pay your 349 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: whole life and then they take another, you know, all 350 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 1: things that we want. Education, he's gone forward with education, 351 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: which securing the borders, the wall is gonna be built 352 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 1: uh constitutionalist on the Supreme Court, an originalist. All these 353 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: things are happening, and it's everything that Obama's entire life 354 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,760 Speaker 1: has been conditioned not to like. And he never had 355 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,919 Speaker 1: any capacities. The only president in my lifetime that I 356 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:46,560 Speaker 1: can think of that showed a total incapability of adjusting 357 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:51,719 Speaker 1: to the office and pushing aside his rigid ideology and 358 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: taking on at least some pragmatic approach to governance. He 359 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: always saw the world through the prism and which he 360 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 1: was indoctrinated, which is leftism, radicalism. There's no Sister Soldier 361 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 1: moment we can point to. There's no the end of 362 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:12,600 Speaker 1: welfare as we know it, The Arab big government is over. 363 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: Those are all Bill Clinton moments. Where Clinton altered, adjusted, 364 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 1: was pragmatic, and frankly, we were better off because of 365 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: it and him because new gingridg got an office as 366 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: a result of the healthcare bill, we ended up balancing 367 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: the budget and making the country a better place, and 368 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: we stopped hillary Care at the time. Now we've got 369 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: the big, big job of undoing the mess that is 370 00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: known as Obamacare. But the sad thing is he still 371 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 1: believes his own lies. He believes his own talking points. 372 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: You know, him spinning. You know these statistics. Millions of 373 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: Americans lost their health care, Millions lost their plans, lost 374 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: their doctors. Millions of Americans. The average American, when you 375 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: consider this year as well, pay is paying six thousand 376 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 1: dollars more per year than they paid. The promise was 377 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: keep your doctor, keep your plan, and the average family 378 00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 1: save on average per year. Well now it's a six 379 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: thousand dollar increase. And then you've got deductibles that are 380 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:19,400 Speaker 1: so high you never you don't. It's like you don't 381 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: even have insurance unless you have a major heart attack 382 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: or a stroke, or you have cancer, or that you 383 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,000 Speaker 1: have a horrific accident where you know, fifteen bones in 384 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:34,200 Speaker 1: your body are broken. It's like you don't have health insurance. 385 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 1: You know. I think we, more than anybody else in 386 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 1: this country, have offered alternatives and solutions to this very 387 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: It's a complicated problem. It is one six of the economy. 388 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: That's the only true thing that he said in that statement. 389 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: And the answer is the free market. The answer is 390 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: health savings accounts, the answer of doctor number style cooperatives. 391 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he must hate my guts, this guy, because 392 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: I constantly put him on. I'm mentioning him in he says, 393 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,479 Speaker 1: his phones ring off the hook. If I was in Wichita, Kansas, 394 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: I would be a member of Dr Umber's Health Cooperative 395 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: unlimited care for fifty bucks a month for an adult, 396 00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 1: unlimited care, ten bucks a month per child. Direct negotiations 397 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,400 Speaker 1: he makes with with pharmaceutical providers to get your medicines 398 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: at off forty eight bucks for an X ray. If 399 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 1: you couple that with a high deductible catastrophic plan, that 400 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 1: is next to nothing. You know, for a hundred bucks 401 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 1: a month, you are fully completely covered in every regard 402 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 1: and there is and that's the answer. You know, poor 403 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: Arizonans now pay a hundred and sevent more this year 404 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 1: than they paid last year. I know some of you 405 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: are upset. A lot of you are upset. I can't 406 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: help it at all that there are weak Republicans. But 407 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: I am very appreciative. Honestly, I'm very appreciative, and having 408 00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: spoken with these Freedom Caucus guys every single day in 409 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: the lead up to the Friday before they pulled the bill, 410 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 1: and every single day until it was passed last week, 411 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: I am really appreciative that there is a group in 412 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: d C. The Freedom Caucus, Mark Meadows, Bratt, Jim Jordan's Louis, 413 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I can't even mention all the guys. We 414 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:34,439 Speaker 1: need to expand the Freedom Caucus. We need sixty members 415 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 1: of the Freedom Caucus, not thirty. Whatever they have. You 416 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 1: get sixty, they got critical mass. You get sixty, then 417 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: they will have to be paid attention to first, not last. 418 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 1: You get sixty Freedom urgent congressman, congresswoman to join the 419 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: Freedom Caucus. Because they got this done. They got the 420 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,760 Speaker 1: waiver in that allows states to totally opt out. They 421 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: understood and got assurances from Health and Human Services Secretary 422 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: Price on very important issues to me, like defunding Planned parenthood. 423 00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 1: And they made this thing work, and they got the 424 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: win for the president, and we got a trillion dollars 425 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: in savings that's all going to be applied to the 426 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 1: President's economic plan. This had, this was a must win scenario. 427 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: Now you might say, well, Hannity, they could have done better. Well, 428 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:26,720 Speaker 1: they were, in fairness, not with a hundred moderate Republicans. No, 429 00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,360 Speaker 1: they suck. I don't even know what else to say 430 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: about them, you know, and and at some point we're 431 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,639 Speaker 1: gonna name names. You know Ted Cruz is quoted today, 432 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 1: and by the way, Ted Cruze, let me let me 433 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 1: tell you more behind the scenes, because I knew what 434 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: was going on. Ted Cruise and Ran Paul and Mike 435 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:53,640 Speaker 1: Lee worked with the Freedom Caucus tirelessly to help get 436 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 1: this bill to where it was and also factored in 437 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,480 Speaker 1: all the parliamentary hurdles that they will face that are real. 438 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: I know most of you don't want to hear about 439 00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 1: reconciliation cloture. I know your eyes are glazing over the 440 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: bird role and nobody needs to know about it. But 441 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 1: these are real parliamentary hurdles. At least to some extent. 442 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:19,439 Speaker 1: It was overblown in the beginning until somebody actually decided 443 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,840 Speaker 1: to talk to the Senate Parliamentary in and then they 444 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:23,240 Speaker 1: found out that a lot of what we were being 445 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,639 Speaker 1: told was was bs anyway, you know, Ted Cruz, to 446 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 1: his credit, he said, I want to commend him. He 447 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,600 Speaker 1: was there every step of the way. Mike Lee was there, 448 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: Rand Paul was there working with the Freedom Caucus to 449 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: try and get the wind so that they can get 450 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: it to the Senate. And I want, you know, I 451 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: commend them all and Ted Cruz for sitting the correct 452 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 1: priorities over the weekend when it comes to the health 453 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 1: care legislation now making its way in the Senate, he said, 454 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: first and foremost, and every Republican Senator's mind should be 455 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: this mantra. Failure is not an option. They absolutely must 456 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: pass a version of repeal and replay that can be 457 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: approved in conference and make its way to the President's desk. 458 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: He's right, Failure is not an option here. I support 459 00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: Senator Cruz, and he acknowledged that Senate Republicans facing uphill 460 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 1: battle to do this. He said, for seven years, Republicans 461 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 1: have been promising, if only you elect us, give us 462 00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:21,440 Speaker 1: the House, will repeal replaced, give us the Senate in 463 00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: the House where we're playing, give us the White House. 464 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 1: He was on with our buddy Larry Cutloy. I guess 465 00:29:26,640 --> 00:29:30,200 Speaker 1: over the weekend at the Ex Wife in New York. 466 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: I think the consequences of failure would be catastrophic. But 467 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna take senators across the Republican conference being willing 468 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: to sit down and get faith. He's right, And then 469 00:29:41,640 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: we've got Obamacare's architect. And this is so outrageous. Remember 470 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: the liar Jonathan Gruber guy once credited the quote stupidity 471 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,800 Speaker 1: of the American voter for the passage of Obamacare, said Sunday, 472 00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 1: Obama said President Trump was to blame for its decline 473 00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,720 Speaker 1: of Obamacare. After being told that I was lone insurance 474 00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: company ninety four of its ninety nine counties is considering 475 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: dropping out, Gruber said, look, whose fault is this? Before 476 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,680 Speaker 1: President Trump was elected, there were no counties in America 477 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:16,760 Speaker 1: that didn't have and insure. Well thought we had options, 478 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: though the whole idea, there's no options for anybody anymore. 479 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: You're stuck with what they give you. You're not keeping 480 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 1: your doctor or your plan because of the great lie 481 00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:28,080 Speaker 1: that was told by everybody that supported this pill. And 482 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,760 Speaker 1: Chris Wallace, to his to his credit, interrupted and said, 483 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna blame the problems of Obamacare and President Trump 484 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: and Gruber responsible insure as profits were trending positively. Oh 485 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: but meanwhile premiums of skyrocketing. Insures were saying positive, no, 486 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 1: they weren't insures. The head of VENA was saying it 487 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: was a death spiral. And then you have a president 488 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: that comes in undercuts open enrollment, doesn't honor the obligations 489 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 1: this law makes to insures as a result, he said, premiums. No, 490 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: the premiums went up under old Mamma. They just continue 491 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: the great lies. Keep your doctor, keep your playing save 492 00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 1: on average per person per year, and Karl Rose said that. 493 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:18,040 Speaker 1: Rove said Trump may have stopped the Obamacare advertising, but 494 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: this isn't Trump's fault. I love how everything is Trump's. 495 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,440 Speaker 1: The dog bites, the beast things. If you're feeling sad, 496 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: it's all Trump's fault, you know. National Review Online in 497 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: February reported that data released by the Obama administration's own 498 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 1: Center for Disease Control the number of people who died 499 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: in Obamaca since Obamacare's in implementation, people would be alive 500 00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: today under the old healthcare system now tops eighty thousand. 501 00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Excuse me, loops, eight tho fewer Americans would have died 502 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 1: in alone had mortality continued to decline during Obamacare's implementation, 503 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: and fifteen at the same rate twenty two. That's eighty 504 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:02,120 Speaker 1: thousand lives right there. I guess. I guess Sarah Palin 505 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: wasn't so stupid after all. I guess Sarah Palin was right. 506 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 1: A new French president favors open borders and an Iranian 507 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: nuclear deal. Why didn't you people of Paris went with Lepin? 508 00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: Lepin did went against Lepin anyway. House Committee announces a 509 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 1: probe into Obama's nuclear giveaway to Iran, the biggest, biggest, 510 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: the worst deal in the history of mankind. Forget everything else. Oh, 511 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:33,760 Speaker 1: Barbara Streisand is kicking off Hillary's twenty twenty campaign. We'll 512 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 1: get to that. Michael Goodwin thinks that Hillary is running 513 00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 1: in Then we have Bill Maher making jokes about like incests, 514 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: jokes about Ivanka Trump so disgusting. Some of you saying, 515 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 1: well you rethink Cannady, You're gonna rethink your fire. Colbert boycott, okare, No, 516 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm not. I don't support boycotts because they're being used 517 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: to silence conservative voices. You toad sewn. You need his 518 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:07,760 Speaker 1: insider updates straight from the source on Today's Big News, 519 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:22,880 Speaker 1: and Hannity gives you more every day, John Hannity, And 520 00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,720 Speaker 1: there was a reason why healthcare reform had not been 521 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:33,280 Speaker 1: accomplished before. It was hard. It involved a sixth of 522 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 1: the economy in all manner of stakeholders and interests. It 523 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 1: was easily subject to misinformation and fearmongering, and so by 524 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,280 Speaker 1: the time the vote came up to pass the Affordable 525 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 1: Care Act, these freshman congressmen and women knew that they 526 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: had to make a choice, that they had a chance 527 00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:57,640 Speaker 1: to ensure millions and prevent untold worry and suffering and 528 00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: bankruptcy and even death, but that this same vote would 529 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 1: likely cost them their new seats, perhaps end their political careers. 530 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:10,879 Speaker 1: And these men and women did the right thing, They 531 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: did the hard thing. Their's was a profile encourage. Because 532 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,839 Speaker 1: of that vote, twenty million people got health insurance who 533 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:24,800 Speaker 1: didn't have it before, and most of them and most 534 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:27,479 Speaker 1: of them did lose their seats, but they were true 535 00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,160 Speaker 1: to what President Kennedy define in his book as a 536 00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:34,960 Speaker 1: congressional profile encourage the desire to maintain a reputation for 537 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 1: integrity that is stronger than a desire to maintain office. 538 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:43,640 Speaker 1: The desire to maintain a reputation for integrity that is 539 00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:47,239 Speaker 1: stronger than a desire to maintain office. And it is 540 00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,719 Speaker 1: my fervent hope and the hope of millions that, regardless 541 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: of party, such courage is still possible that today's members 542 00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,839 Speaker 1: of Congress, regardless of party, are willing to look at 543 00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: the facts and speak the truth, even when it contradicts 544 00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:09,240 Speaker 1: party positions. I hope that current members of Congress recall 545 00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:12,240 Speaker 1: that it actually doesn't take a lot of courage to 546 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:17,480 Speaker 1: aid those who are already powerful, already comfortable, already influential, 547 00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: But it does require some courage to champion the vulnerable 548 00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 1: and the sick and the infirm, those who often have 549 00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:29,319 Speaker 1: no access to the corridors of power. I hope they 550 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:34,400 Speaker 1: understand the courage means not simply doing what is politically expedient, 551 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,040 Speaker 1: but doing what they believe deep in their hearts is right. 552 00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:43,719 Speaker 1: We suffered with Obamacare. I went through two years of campaigning, 553 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,000 Speaker 1: and I'm telling you, no matter where I went, people 554 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:52,600 Speaker 1: who are suffering so badly with the ravages of Obamacare. 555 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,120 Speaker 1: And I will say this that, as far as I'm concerned, 556 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,160 Speaker 1: your premiums, they're gonna start to come down. We're gonna 557 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:02,360 Speaker 1: get this past through the Senate. I feel so confident 558 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: you're deductibles. When it comes to deductibles, they were so 559 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:11,640 Speaker 1: ridiculous that nobody got to use their current plan. Uh, 560 00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: this non existent plan that I heard so many wonderful 561 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 1: things about over the last three or four days. After that, 562 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's I don't think you're gonna hear so 563 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:23,000 Speaker 1: much right now. The insurance companies are fleeing. It's been 564 00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 1: a catastrophe. And this is a great plan. I actually 565 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,879 Speaker 1: think it will get even better. And this is make 566 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:33,719 Speaker 1: no mistake. This is a repeal and a replace of Obamacare, 567 00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:37,719 Speaker 1: make no mistake about it. Macnomas said, alright, hour to 568 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show one Shaw on our twelve three telephone number. 569 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 1: Now there's a congressman who praised Obamacare, showing a profile 570 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,320 Speaker 1: and courage because oh, that was more important than losing 571 00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:51,640 Speaker 1: their seats. And uh, of course, then we have Obama 572 00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:55,200 Speaker 1: now speaking out about Obamacare and members of Congress it 573 00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: takes courage to champion the vulnerable and the sick. And 574 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 1: he's the same guy that said republic can want dirty 575 00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:04,279 Speaker 1: air and dirty water. And then the presidents say, make 576 00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:07,640 Speaker 1: no mistake the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, and then 577 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,560 Speaker 1: he talked about the plan. There were three things that 578 00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:12,360 Speaker 1: we've come to realize in all of this. One is 579 00:37:12,440 --> 00:37:15,120 Speaker 1: that there are at least a hundred Republicans that had 580 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:19,360 Speaker 1: no intention of repealing and replacing Obamacare, which is beyond disappointing. 581 00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:24,120 Speaker 1: Number two is that between the waivers and the fact 582 00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:27,080 Speaker 1: that the Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price has 583 00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 1: said he will defund planned parenthood and other issues. There 584 00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:35,040 Speaker 1: is great discretion by which this will dismantle all of Obamacare. 585 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: Here to help explain this and the political side of 586 00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:39,960 Speaker 1: it is the former Speaker of the House, New Kingridge. 587 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: How are you, sir? And by the way, he's got 588 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: a brand new book, Understanding Trump. I think it's available, 589 00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: it's an online booker. I'm very excited to Understanding Trump. 590 00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,640 Speaker 1: I think will actually help a lot of people have 591 00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:50,399 Speaker 1: a better sense of what he's doing and why he's 592 00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,360 Speaker 1: trying to do it. And that's why I wrote it, 593 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,200 Speaker 1: because I'm having as you know, because you and I've 594 00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:55,919 Speaker 1: talked about so much over the last couple of years. 595 00:37:56,040 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: He's a very complicated, interesting guy, and he's truths, He's 596 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,680 Speaker 1: UH and I love, as I'm sure you do, the 597 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,040 Speaker 1: list of new UH nominees to be Appeals Court judges, 598 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,760 Speaker 1: which fit exactly the same pattern UH federalist society conservatives 599 00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,799 Speaker 1: that he made with Justice Gorsert. So and a lot 600 00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,399 Speaker 1: of ways. I'm very happy with where Trump is going. 601 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 1: And I think by the time the Senate is done 602 00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,160 Speaker 1: and the conference commit is done that the President Trump 603 00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:24,719 Speaker 1: is going to get the kind of reforms most Americans 604 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: can support. Uh. And I think that it will be 605 00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,320 Speaker 1: very important in terms of making sure that Americans understand 606 00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,399 Speaker 1: that the collapsing disaster of Obamacare. And this is what 607 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 1: conservatives aren't very good at hammering home. You know, Barack 608 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,080 Speaker 1: Obama doesn't have a clue. This is the guy who 609 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,560 Speaker 1: lied to us about keeping our doctor, lied to us 610 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: about keeping our our and our insurance policy if we 611 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: liked it, knew at the time he was lying, just 612 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: as he lied to us about being Ghazi, knowing he 613 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,880 Speaker 1: was lying. Uh. And so I think you have to 614 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,399 Speaker 1: start with this idea that this is a guy who 615 00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,520 Speaker 1: who wants to keep his namesake. And you can understand 616 00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:06,399 Speaker 1: that it's called Obamacare, acter, but the truth is Obamacare 617 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,600 Speaker 1: is in a death spiral. I like very much what 618 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,239 Speaker 1: Speger Paul Ryan saidgest really he said, Look, we're an 619 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: ar rescue mission. I mean, we're watching this whole system collapse. 620 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:17,520 Speaker 1: We're watching people in Iowa having choices, people in Knoxville, 621 00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: Tennessee have no choices. Uh. And and our job is 622 00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,640 Speaker 1: to go out and find a much better system using 623 00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 1: the private Senttor using the local choice, having the governors 624 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,160 Speaker 1: have flexibility, and I think we can do that, and 625 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,319 Speaker 1: I think we can do it while also preserving and 626 00:39:33,360 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: protecting uh, the American people in the way that they 627 00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,320 Speaker 1: will be comfortable. I think Obama's now hit his his 628 00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:43,600 Speaker 1: his saturation point of not being loved, and I think 629 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:45,319 Speaker 1: that's why he's coming out. I don't think he's gonna 630 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:49,359 Speaker 1: have the ability to do what George W. Bush did 631 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,839 Speaker 1: for him, which was just be quiet and let the 632 00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,040 Speaker 1: new president deal with the challenges of the office of 633 00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:56,880 Speaker 1: our own. Well. Sure, but it's also a different situation. 634 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,440 Speaker 1: I mean, Donald Trump is the end of the or world. 635 00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,280 Speaker 1: Even if you're a left one. There's a reason, for example, 636 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,359 Speaker 1: that the other night you had Colbert going crazy, then 637 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,120 Speaker 1: this weekend you had Bill Mark going crazy, right, and 638 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,080 Speaker 1: and and the fact is what you have with the 639 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,680 Speaker 1: Trump administration, the Trump leadership where he wants to say 640 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,439 Speaker 1: America is the opposite of the world these people thought 641 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,240 Speaker 1: they were going to create. And I just finished reading Shattered, 642 00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: which is a fascinating inside of account of the Clinton campaign, 643 00:40:25,040 --> 00:40:27,200 Speaker 1: and you begin to realize, I mean they really up 644 00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,040 Speaker 1: until about eight at nine o'clock, collection night, they knew 645 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: they were gonna win. Then they knew they were going 646 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,400 Speaker 1: to continue the Obama pattern, the Obama personnel, the Obama policies, 647 00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:41,000 Speaker 1: and so they've never recovered from the savagery literally of 648 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,360 Speaker 1: pivoting about it at nine o'clock at night on Tuesday 649 00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,359 Speaker 1: night and being told, you know, uh, we're not gonna 650 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:49,279 Speaker 1: make it. And so that's a lot of what you're 651 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,280 Speaker 1: still getting if you watch Hillery and these occasional moments 652 00:40:52,280 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 1: of explaining that she takes full responsibilities to the fact 653 00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,879 Speaker 1: that Comey did it to her. Uh, it's say, it's 654 00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:01,840 Speaker 1: it's sad. These are people who are desperate and and 655 00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:04,120 Speaker 1: they're out of touch with reality. And I think that 656 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,279 Speaker 1: it shows, well, I'm watching all of this. I mean, 657 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:11,480 Speaker 1: you know, imagine back in the day, you know, Bill 658 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:15,879 Speaker 1: Maher this weekend crossing a line with a tasteless incest joke, 659 00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:20,000 Speaker 1: as the Daily Mail called it, about Ivanka Trump. Now listen, 660 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,600 Speaker 1: I know there was a lot of strong criticism against 661 00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:26,359 Speaker 1: Barack Obama, and there was criticism against Michelle when she said, 662 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:28,160 Speaker 1: for the first time in my adult life, I'm proud 663 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 1: of my country. But I don't remember any criticism against 664 00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:34,279 Speaker 1: his children who seem lovely by every objective measure, and 665 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 1: it's not easy growing up in the White House. But 666 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 1: they have attacked a ten year old kid, the daughter 667 00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,160 Speaker 1: of the president, the wife of the president, in ways 668 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,319 Speaker 1: that were unimaginable just a few years ago. And yeah, 669 00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:49,240 Speaker 1: they're totally, completely and utterly unhinged. But it's not stopping. 670 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,040 Speaker 1: And it's now at an accelerator, accelerated rate, with an 671 00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: intensity we've never seen, and it's gonna get worse. There. 672 00:41:56,640 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 1: There are only two futures here. Either Trump sides this 673 00:42:00,600 --> 00:42:04,360 Speaker 1: is all too painful and he caves in and he 674 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:07,200 Speaker 1: accepts that the Left is going to be dominant in America, 675 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,080 Speaker 1: or Trump is gonna gradually break them because the country 676 00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 1: doesn't want this stuff. And I just I was very struck. 677 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: In fact, I don't know if you had a dance 678 00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 1: you get to you, but I I emailed you this morning. 679 00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:23,680 Speaker 1: I read it very interesting, you know, the very instant 680 00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 1: study of that the British local elections, where contrary to 681 00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,240 Speaker 1: the normal pattern where the incumbent prime minister's party loses 682 00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:35,400 Speaker 1: the ground, the Conservatives gained over four hundred seats in 683 00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:40,000 Speaker 1: local elections, crushed the labor party, UH and and UH 684 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: really dramatically changed the balance of power in England in 685 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:48,759 Speaker 1: particular and instruct me that what is happening. You see this. 686 00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,040 Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the CBS news to 687 00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 1: this focused group among Democrats and had a high comma 688 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: fact you're saying, you know, I'm tired of the Deocratic 689 00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,760 Speaker 1: Party being desperate, I'm tired of the Democratic Party being negative, 690 00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 1: et cetera. And these are they're trying the Pennsylvania Democrats 691 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 1: who clearly are drifting away from their party. And this 692 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,839 Speaker 1: is what happened to the labor parties. Witness is why 693 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 1: uh Prime Minister may call the snap election for next month, 694 00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,680 Speaker 1: because she realized that the Labor Party was now so 695 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 1: weak that she could get really have a historic impact 696 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,640 Speaker 1: and strengthen our hand dramatically. I'm beginning to think we 697 00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 1: may see the same thing happening over the next year 698 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,240 Speaker 1: and a half, and we may see two thousand eighteen. 699 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 1: It's a great referendum. It's really it's really a two 700 00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:34,040 Speaker 1: way choice. Do you want to fail with Obamacare? Do 701 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,200 Speaker 1: you want to fail with the welfare state? Do you 702 00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:38,520 Speaker 1: want to fail with a weak military? Do you want 703 00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:41,319 Speaker 1: to fail with policies of allowed drug addiction, or are 704 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:43,200 Speaker 1: you prepared to be with some people who are working 705 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,960 Speaker 1: their hearts, are trying to find solutions and trying to 706 00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:48,640 Speaker 1: get things done. And my hunch is the average emerchant 707 00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:51,120 Speaker 1: is gonna say, even when when Trump makes a mistake 708 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:53,520 Speaker 1: or the Republicans make a mistake, they're gonna say, you know, 709 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,280 Speaker 1: they're making a mistake while they're trying to get something done, 710 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,319 Speaker 1: and that they like that a heck of a lot 711 00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:01,640 Speaker 1: better than the guys who just nasty and vulgar and 712 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,879 Speaker 1: negative and have no ideas at all. We gotta take 713 00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: a break. We'll continue more with the former Speaker of 714 00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:09,160 Speaker 1: the House, New King Ridges with us. He's got a 715 00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,879 Speaker 1: brand new book coming out. I'll tell us more about 716 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:13,960 Speaker 1: it on the other side, and that is called Understanding Trump, 717 00:44:14,440 --> 00:44:17,560 Speaker 1: and we'll get to that and Sally Yates and her testimony, 718 00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,440 Speaker 1: and we'll check in the very latest there was a 719 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:26,319 Speaker 1: four increase in the surveillance of people that surrounded the 720 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:30,759 Speaker 1: president and the unmasking of Americans in twenty sixteen. How 721 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,680 Speaker 1: is that justified in terms of using the national security 722 00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,200 Speaker 1: apparatus of this country and surveillance apparatus and technology of 723 00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:41,399 Speaker 1: this country to go after political opponents and what does 724 00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: it mean. We'll have a full report coming up with 725 00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:45,400 Speaker 1: John Solomon and Sarah Carter and we'll have that on 726 00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:51,719 Speaker 1: Hannity tonight at ten CBS TV. And it's the news 727 00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:59,040 Speaker 1: like nobody else, This is the Sean Hannity Show. You 728 00:44:59,239 --> 00:45:02,040 Speaker 1: talk like a language guerrilla who got hit in the head. 729 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: In fact, the only thing your mouth is good for 730 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: is being Vladimir Putin's polster. Your president's a library is 731 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 1: going to be a kid's men. You want a couple 732 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:13,120 Speaker 1: of jugs. Magazine. The only thing smaller than your hands 733 00:45:13,520 --> 00:45:17,160 Speaker 1: is your tax returns, and you can take that anyway 734 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:21,279 Speaker 1: you want. One reporter ran into ranks previous who told 735 00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:24,240 Speaker 1: her the president stepped up and helped punt the ball 736 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 1: into the end zone. I think you're more accurate. Football 737 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:30,040 Speaker 1: metaphor might have been the GOP just kicks America in 738 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 1: the alright. That was Bill Maher and his viciousness and 739 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,439 Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert and how vile they are. You know, some 740 00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:41,440 Speaker 1: conservatives don't understand why I say that I don't support 741 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,960 Speaker 1: the boycotts of these shows, and that everybody has an 742 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,800 Speaker 1: opportunity to either turn off the TV or flip the dial, 743 00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:51,440 Speaker 1: because these boycott techniques are being used against conservatives, against 744 00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: every talk radio host, every everybody on the Fox News channel. 745 00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:58,480 Speaker 1: I've I've been under attack in a pretty acute way 746 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:02,239 Speaker 1: in recent weeks, and it's boycott is just another way 747 00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: of silencing. And some of our conservative brethren don't agree 748 00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:08,000 Speaker 1: with me. Well, look, I actually think free speeches do 749 00:46:08,080 --> 00:46:11,160 Speaker 1: it me too, And I think it's good for people 750 00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,960 Speaker 1: to realize this is what the left is like. It 751 00:46:13,080 --> 00:46:17,520 Speaker 1: is vulgar, it is vicious. Uh, it is destructive personally. 752 00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,520 Speaker 1: It doesn't mind, as you point out earlier, it doesn't 753 00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: mind attacking children. Uh. It had there there are no 754 00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,440 Speaker 1: holes barred because these people are desperate. Uh. And and 755 00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 1: they're increasingly the Party of failure, and so you know 756 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 1: they can't be honest because the programs can't be defended. Uh. 757 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: You know, if if Obama had told the truth about Obamacare, 758 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna lose your doctor, You're gonna lose your your 759 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:46,359 Speaker 1: your insurance policy, he never would have gotten it through. Uh. 760 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:48,279 Speaker 1: And this is the whole problem to have across the board. 761 00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:51,000 Speaker 1: If they're asked about how bad their inner city teachers 762 00:46:51,120 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: unions are fairly in places like Baltimore, they would never 763 00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:56,400 Speaker 1: be able to support them, so that they now are 764 00:46:56,480 --> 00:47:00,560 Speaker 1: lying so constantly that it is unbelievable. And of course 765 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:06,440 Speaker 1: there these so called comedians are simply reflections of the 766 00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,160 Speaker 1: desperation and the panic that's sitting in the left. They're 767 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,879 Speaker 1: very parallel to what you're seeing in college campuses, where 768 00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,000 Speaker 1: left wingers are a desperate to avoid free speech, and 769 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,440 Speaker 1: they're desperate avoid honest to date because they can't win them. 770 00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a really practical reason these people are 771 00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:25,120 Speaker 1: so bad. It's sad that so many reasons. It's sad 772 00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:27,640 Speaker 1: that somebody on the left do not live up to 773 00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 1: their you know, their own simple basic values, and then 774 00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:34,080 Speaker 1: one of them is free speech. You mentioned something in 775 00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:36,279 Speaker 1: the last segment that intrigued me. He said, well, if 776 00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:39,120 Speaker 1: Donald it depends on Donald Trump. Is he gonna decide 777 00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,440 Speaker 1: that he doesn't feel like dealing with a lunatic, lunatic 778 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:46,520 Speaker 1: left wing that is unhinged in attacking him and his family, 779 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,640 Speaker 1: or he's just gonna stay and fight. I don't see 780 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:53,120 Speaker 1: the any other option but fighting, And I don't see 781 00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:55,920 Speaker 1: any part of his character that indicates he'd stop fighting. 782 00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,560 Speaker 1: You know, I don't I don't need it. But my 783 00:47:58,719 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: point this is a little bit like a point that 784 00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,759 Speaker 1: has made surprise you. One of the great novels I've 785 00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:06,920 Speaker 1: written about Abraham Lincoln was by Gore Vidal. Now that's 786 00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:11,080 Speaker 1: somebody I would normally have picked. But it's a brilliant novel. 787 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 1: And the point that is made at the end of 788 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,280 Speaker 1: the novel is, as long as he lived, the Union 789 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,839 Speaker 1: was eventually gonna win because he would never ever quit. Well, 790 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,280 Speaker 1: the same thing beginning to happen here. I mean, Trump 791 00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,120 Speaker 1: is going to get a better and better grip on 792 00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:27,880 Speaker 1: the city. It's gonna get a better grip with the 793 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,080 Speaker 1: Bureaucracy's gonna get a better grip with the Congress. And 794 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:33,880 Speaker 1: Trump said, my voice told Polus Trump is not a 795 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,759 Speaker 1: traditional conservative, and you know, a National Review Bill Buckley says, 796 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:43,240 Speaker 1: but he has four great values, anti stupid, anti politically correct, 797 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:47,840 Speaker 1: anti left, and passionately deeply pro American. I have a 798 00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,279 Speaker 1: whole section in my new book understand Trump talking with 799 00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:54,200 Speaker 1: these four values. Well, it turns out anti stupid hurts 800 00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,800 Speaker 1: the left. Anti left obviously hurts the left. Anti politically 801 00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: correct her it's the left and the left just the 802 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:04,319 Speaker 1: idea of being passionately pro America. So Trump ends up 803 00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:08,479 Speaker 1: functionally being their their worst nightmare. Mr Speaker, love having 804 00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,080 Speaker 1: you on the show. It's called Understanding Trump. We'll put 805 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:12,759 Speaker 1: it up on our website, Haniday dot com. If you 806 00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:14,399 Speaker 1: want to pre order, We'll take a quick break. We'll 807 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:18,600 Speaker 1: come back. Don't forget Sarah Carter John Solomon review, Why 808 00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:43,720 Speaker 1: increase in intelligence surveillance? And I'm masking in holding them accountable? 809 00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:49,960 Speaker 1: Sean gets the answers no one else does. America deserves 810 00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,239 Speaker 1: and know the truth about Congress. Let me ask you 811 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,560 Speaker 1: about that because in because President Trump, whether it's Urduan 812 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,680 Speaker 1: in Turkey or else in Egypt or Putin in rock Shah, 813 00:50:00,880 --> 00:50:05,400 Speaker 1: the sound of freedom does not seem to come often 814 00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,360 Speaker 1: in conversations with him. Is there a cost from that? Well, 815 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,040 Speaker 1: I think it's early in the administration. There's something about 816 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:14,839 Speaker 1: the presidency that you recognize over time, the tremendous not 817 00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:18,239 Speaker 1: just responsibility, but the weight that it carries. And of 818 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 1: course we're gonna have to deal with the president of Egypt. 819 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,120 Speaker 1: Of course we're gonna have to deal with the president 820 00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,799 Speaker 1: of Turkey. But it's well to remember too that our 821 00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:29,759 Speaker 1: interest in our values suggests that when countries that we 822 00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480 Speaker 1: have good relations with and want good relations with actually 823 00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:38,200 Speaker 1: reform before their revolutions, our interests are served too. And 824 00:50:38,440 --> 00:50:41,480 Speaker 1: I think that if the United States um a democracy 825 00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,759 Speaker 1: promotion actually was very often not very expensive. It's supporting elections, 826 00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,280 Speaker 1: supporting the building of civil society, supporting a free press abroad. 827 00:50:49,719 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: So I have no problem with the President meeting with 828 00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: those leaders. He has to, but we always need to 829 00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 1: speak for our values as well. And our values are 830 00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,520 Speaker 1: the chief that we were endowed with certain rights via 831 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,680 Speaker 1: our creator. It can't be true for just us and 832 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 1: not for them. All right. That was Conda Liza Rice, 833 00:51:09,800 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: and she is back in the public eye. Always good 834 00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:14,759 Speaker 1: to have her back. She has written a brand new book. 835 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,520 Speaker 1: It's called Democracy Stories from the Long Road to Freedom. 836 00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:20,080 Speaker 1: Dr Rice. It's always an honored privilege and a pleasure. 837 00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,120 Speaker 1: How are you. I'm doing well, Thank you. It's great 838 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,040 Speaker 1: to be back with you. Probably the biggest led Zeppelin 839 00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,600 Speaker 1: and football fan in the history of the country, Is 840 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 1: that true? That's absolutely right on both camps. Oh my god. 841 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,440 Speaker 1: So you're still like working out and and playing you know, 842 00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,359 Speaker 1: led Zeppelin. Stairway to heaven. I'm working out even more 843 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: led Zeppelin and working out with the Stanford in the 844 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:45,360 Speaker 1: Stanford Varsity weight room. And uh, the kids are learning 845 00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:47,920 Speaker 1: what music sounded like when it was really good. In 846 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,200 Speaker 1: all right, I'm I'm loving this and I know you're happy. 847 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,279 Speaker 1: It's it's interesting. I love the reports that you have 848 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 1: a relationship with the president. Can you tell us a 849 00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,799 Speaker 1: little bit about it. Yes, indeed, I was honored to 850 00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:04,359 Speaker 1: be invited by the President to come and see him 851 00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,000 Speaker 1: at the in the Oval Office a few weeks ago 852 00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:10,080 Speaker 1: when I was in Washington. Uh, he is the president 853 00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:14,040 Speaker 1: and I admire and respect anyone who holds that office. 854 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: And my view is that every American needs to try 855 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,920 Speaker 1: and make the help, to be helped the President to 856 00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 1: be successful in any way that we can. And I 857 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,960 Speaker 1: know how you feel. Foreign policy is obviously your your passion, 858 00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:30,759 Speaker 1: your love where you have studied and obviously participated in 859 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:34,120 Speaker 1: history throughout the years. You know, these are very difficult 860 00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:36,759 Speaker 1: times we're living in. Um. I think I know how 861 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,839 Speaker 1: you probably feel about the Iranian deal. I think North 862 00:52:39,920 --> 00:52:43,160 Speaker 1: Korea is the most pressing problem right now, and for 863 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,120 Speaker 1: a lot of different reasons. They have nuclear weapons in 864 00:52:46,160 --> 00:52:48,160 Speaker 1: spite of the fact that Bill Clinton told us after 865 00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:50,560 Speaker 1: he gave them four billion dollars that they're never going 866 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: to get nuclear weapons, they did get nuclear capability. Now 867 00:52:53,719 --> 00:52:56,879 Speaker 1: we watched them on a regular basis attempting to get 868 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,720 Speaker 1: I CBM capability, and that would mean that those nuclear 869 00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,920 Speaker 1: war edds could reach the continental United States. That should 870 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 1: scare everybody. They have threatened not only the entire region, 871 00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,720 Speaker 1: but Israel and the rest of the world. Once somebody 872 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:12,000 Speaker 1: has a nuclear weapon, how do you possibly stop them 873 00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,920 Speaker 1: from getting I c b M capability knowing that a 874 00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:17,480 Speaker 1: lot of hundreds of thousands, of not more people could 875 00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:20,120 Speaker 1: die in the process. John, You're absolutely right. This is 876 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,720 Speaker 1: the most serious, I think, in most eminent national security 877 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,880 Speaker 1: problem in this present faces and anybody who's President of 878 00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,320 Speaker 1: United States, I don't care who it is, cannot tolerate 879 00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: this circumstance, in which I don't know if he's being 880 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 1: told in three years, four years, or five years, at 881 00:53:33,640 --> 00:53:35,919 Speaker 1: some point, the North Koreans are going to be able 882 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: to reach the territory of the United States with intercontinental 883 00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:42,480 Speaker 1: ballistic missiles uh with married to a nuclear warhead. And 884 00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: that's simply unacceptable, especially given the character of that regime, 885 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:51,439 Speaker 1: which is reckless, maybe even a little unhinged. And so, um, 886 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,319 Speaker 1: I think what the administration is trying to do, and 887 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,040 Speaker 1: I've seen it from Rex Filison, Secretary State, I've seen 888 00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,879 Speaker 1: it from the President, is to say, to the one 889 00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 1: state that has some leverage, not absolute leverage, but some 890 00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,200 Speaker 1: leverage with the North Koreans, that's China. Look, either you 891 00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,440 Speaker 1: deal with the North Koreans or we have to. And um, 892 00:54:07,480 --> 00:54:10,239 Speaker 1: I think they're getting the attention of the Chinese on this. 893 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,400 Speaker 1: The Chinese have to get over the idea that if 894 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:16,319 Speaker 1: they do anything tough with the North Korean regime, the 895 00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,520 Speaker 1: regime might collapse and that would be bad for Chinese interests. 896 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,120 Speaker 1: They've just got to recognize that it's now the time 897 00:54:22,120 --> 00:54:24,360 Speaker 1: to tighten the spruce on the North Korean regime because 898 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,279 Speaker 1: the American president can't sit by less this continue. Well, 899 00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:30,200 Speaker 1: I agree, but I'm listening very carefully to everything you're saying, 900 00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,240 Speaker 1: uh Madam, Secretary, and when you say you know, either 901 00:54:34,520 --> 00:54:37,400 Speaker 1: you handle this or we will have to, it just 902 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:42,000 Speaker 1: presents to me, in my mind, such a difficult needle 903 00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:46,160 Speaker 1: to thread, and it's a razor's edge because you've you've 904 00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:48,440 Speaker 1: got to look at what's happening. I mean the proximity 905 00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:52,839 Speaker 1: to not only China, but South Korea and Japan, and 906 00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:55,759 Speaker 1: that any attempt to stop them from getting i C 907 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:59,080 Speaker 1: b MS intercontinental ballistic missiles is gonna be met with 908 00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: the possibility. And you use the word unhinged and reckless. 909 00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how militarily you do that. How do 910 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,920 Speaker 1: you thread that needle? How is it even possible? Well, 911 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:12,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure the president is asking for his options. UH. 912 00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,080 Speaker 1: He has to keep all options on the table. But 913 00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:18,319 Speaker 1: obviously military options are not very powerful here. They're they're 914 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:21,440 Speaker 1: very difficult for exactly the reasons you mentioned. The threat 915 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,479 Speaker 1: to the soul is a threat of just a matter 916 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,880 Speaker 1: of hours because North Korea South Korea sait literally across 917 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,320 Speaker 1: the line from one another, and even a conventional attack 918 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,799 Speaker 1: by North Korea on South Korea would cause many, many 919 00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 1: civilian casualties. So I think what they're trying to do 920 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:39,960 Speaker 1: is they're trying to thread that needle, and that means 921 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 1: that you press the Chinese to UH to rein in 922 00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,560 Speaker 1: this regime, to it very at the very least UH 923 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,040 Speaker 1: for the time being, get them to stop the progress 924 00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,680 Speaker 1: that they're making. UM, and then you tell the South 925 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,440 Speaker 1: Koreans uh, you know that we're trying to protect them. 926 00:55:56,480 --> 00:56:00,600 Speaker 1: That's why the deployment of that our theater but missile 927 00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:04,080 Speaker 1: defenses was so important. We've been doing very important things 928 00:56:04,080 --> 00:56:07,799 Speaker 1: with Japan, and so that's the package. You know, at 929 00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,560 Speaker 1: this point you have to try to use a package 930 00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:13,840 Speaker 1: defensive measures for our lives, pressure by the Chinese, pressure 931 00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: from the arrest of the international community, and in more 932 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 1: sanctions if you can give them, and then always keep 933 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:22,000 Speaker 1: the specter that if all else fails, the United States 934 00:56:22,040 --> 00:56:24,640 Speaker 1: is prepared to act alone. I would hate to think 935 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,879 Speaker 1: of that possibility, because there's so many lives in such 936 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:32,879 Speaker 1: close proximity that the dangers are real. Um. I think 937 00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 1: if you look at the president in his first hundred days, 938 00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:39,040 Speaker 1: one of the most underreported stories of I think a 939 00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:41,240 Speaker 1: great success on his part. And I think the Iranian 940 00:56:41,239 --> 00:56:44,839 Speaker 1: deal opened this opportunity up in ways nobody imagined. And 941 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:48,640 Speaker 1: that is an emerging alliance with Israel, the Saudias, with 942 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:52,520 Speaker 1: the Egyptians, the Jordanians, and on the other side of it. 943 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:54,840 Speaker 1: And I'm told by people that were there that meetings 944 00:56:54,840 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 1: that were supposed to go thirty minutes with the President 945 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,959 Speaker 1: of China went on for five hours on two separ 946 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:03,799 Speaker 1: occasions with the president, and the Chinese president goes back 947 00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:05,840 Speaker 1: and he put a hundred and seventy five thousand troops 948 00:57:05,880 --> 00:57:09,919 Speaker 1: on the border with North Korea UM and and said 949 00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,120 Speaker 1: he'd open up trade. He returned some coal that was 950 00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:16,320 Speaker 1: being imported, and then imported American coal. The Chinese propaganda 951 00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,000 Speaker 1: newspaper has been very clear warning North Korea about their actions. 952 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,120 Speaker 1: So there seems to have been relationships built in an 953 00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:27,280 Speaker 1: opportunity here that never existed before with new and emerging alliances. 954 00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,400 Speaker 1: Based on your background, do you see that as well? 955 00:57:29,480 --> 00:57:31,520 Speaker 1: I do see that very much. So as a matter 956 00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:33,840 Speaker 1: of fact, if I take the two issues. First of all, 957 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 1: on China, I think you're right. We are seeing the 958 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: Chinese make some moves. They need to make more. But 959 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,800 Speaker 1: one reason you can tell that the Chinese are making 960 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:43,880 Speaker 1: some moveses the North Koreans are starting to criticize the Chinese, 961 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,880 Speaker 1: and that's a good sign. Frankly, you're also seeing um 962 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,840 Speaker 1: with the Middle East. Two things have happened. The first 963 00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,840 Speaker 1: is that the president was very clear that he understands 964 00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:56,480 Speaker 1: it's a threat to the Middle East. Is one of 965 00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:58,520 Speaker 1: the biggest threats of the Middle East is Iran, and 966 00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:05,200 Speaker 1: Iran's revisionist revenges aggressive powers against the region and against 967 00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:09,439 Speaker 1: our allies. And so that was very welcomed by the 968 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:12,080 Speaker 1: Gulf State Arabs like the Saudis and the UAE, and 969 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:17,280 Speaker 1: welcomed by Israel and then h the president's strike against 970 00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:21,480 Speaker 1: the thought Air Basis, when he used the chemical weapons 971 00:58:21,480 --> 00:58:24,520 Speaker 1: against his own people, sent a very strong message. It 972 00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:27,880 Speaker 1: in fact reinforced the red line that President Obama had 973 00:58:27,920 --> 00:58:30,880 Speaker 1: put there and then it had been crossed. And I 974 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,880 Speaker 1: think the message, yes, the United States, the President of 975 00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:35,840 Speaker 1: the United States is not going to sit by and 976 00:58:35,960 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 1: let chemical weapons be used against the babies in Syria 977 00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,959 Speaker 1: was also really reassuring to our lives who have been 978 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: looking for some teeth to American policy in the Middle East. 979 00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,680 Speaker 1: Madam Secretary, you played such a pivotal role, and if 980 00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:50,800 Speaker 1: you think of I wrote a book in two thousand 981 00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: and four called The Liberals Formed Vile and Defeating uh Terrorism, 982 00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,919 Speaker 1: Despotism and Liberalism, because I think if we don't win 983 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,040 Speaker 1: the ideological war, the pool political war, you don't have 984 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:04,000 Speaker 1: the the will and the strength to understand how peace 985 00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 1: through strength works and that was my argument. I got 986 00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 1: criticized for it at the time, shocking. I know, Um, 987 00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:14,400 Speaker 1: I've never been criticized before Madam's secretary. And I'm assuming 988 00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:16,800 Speaker 1: you being on this show is a source of criticism 989 00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:19,720 Speaker 1: for you. Um. But in all seriousness, you know, there 990 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,320 Speaker 1: were a hundred million human souls slaughtered in the last 991 00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:27,600 Speaker 1: century alone, real human beings, real lives, the Holocaust, Nazism, fascism, 992 00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,960 Speaker 1: imperial Japan, communism, Stalin, I mean, the killing fields. We 993 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: can go through the whole list. You're writing about stories 994 00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,960 Speaker 1: from the Long Road to Freedom. And as I'm reading 995 00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 1: all this, and and I know how smart you are, 996 00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,240 Speaker 1: and you've dedicated your life to the study and democracy, 997 00:59:42,600 --> 00:59:45,960 Speaker 1: and I'm thinking, Okay, how do we now deal with 998 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,520 Speaker 1: the situation of evil today? Radical Islam, the Iranians, the Iranians, 999 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: nuclear ambitions. And you know, as you as you write 1000 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:57,720 Speaker 1: in this book, and as you look at today's situations, 1001 00:59:57,800 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 1: you know, tell us what you see that's similar or different? 1002 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,400 Speaker 1: Are the challenges to me? In many ways they're the same. 1003 01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,320 Speaker 1: The first thing, Sean, is to call it what it is. Um. 1004 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 1: We have confronted in the twentieth century unspeakable evils and 1005 01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,360 Speaker 1: you name them, and we're confronting in the twenty one 1006 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:18,800 Speaker 1: century unspeakable evils. Isis beheading people on television is an 1007 01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:22,520 Speaker 1: unspeakable evil. And so the first thing is the United 1008 01:00:22,560 --> 01:00:25,000 Speaker 1: States has to stand morally for the fact that there 1009 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:28,600 Speaker 1: is actually good and evils in the world. Uh. Sometimes 1010 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:32,160 Speaker 1: it's uncomfortable for people, but it's true. Secondly, Uh, the 1011 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,840 Speaker 1: United States has to demonstrate that we're willing to try 1012 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:40,760 Speaker 1: and defend um an order of peace loving people's. And 1013 01:00:41,360 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 1: that's why I thought one of the other really important 1014 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:46,560 Speaker 1: things the President did was to increase the American defense 1015 01:00:46,560 --> 01:00:49,960 Speaker 1: budget because that sense of signal about America in the world. 1016 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,520 Speaker 1: But John, the reason I wrote this book about democracy 1017 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:55,440 Speaker 1: is that the way that we've really fought evil in 1018 01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: the long run is with a better idea than any 1019 01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:01,560 Speaker 1: of them ever had, and that was that free people's, 1020 01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 1: free men and women would be peaceful. Then in women, 1021 01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,760 Speaker 1: we took a chance that a democratic Germany would never 1022 01:01:08,240 --> 01:01:11,960 Speaker 1: never attack its neighbors again, that a democratic Japan would 1023 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:14,680 Speaker 1: would never be a threat to its neighborhood. And look 1024 01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,360 Speaker 1: at what Germany and Japan are today. They are pillars 1025 01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:21,080 Speaker 1: of international stability. And so I think when we UH 1026 01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:26,160 Speaker 1: seek to help countries become democratic, we're also seeking to 1027 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:30,720 Speaker 1: bring into the system states and and leaders that don't 1028 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,600 Speaker 1: don't have sponsor state here, let me let me pick 1029 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:36,920 Speaker 1: up their Former Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice is, well, 1030 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 1: you've had too many jobs. If I list them, it 1031 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 1: will take the whole half hour. She's written a brand 1032 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,520 Speaker 1: new book. We're putting it up on Hannity dot Com now. 1033 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 1: It's called Democracy Stories from the Long Road to Freedom. 1034 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:49,920 Speaker 1: Final Hour roundup is next. You do not want to 1035 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,480 Speaker 1: miss it, and stay tuned for the Final hour Freeverall 1036 01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:58,240 Speaker 1: on the Sean Hannity Show. And as we continue with 1037 01:01:58,320 --> 01:02:02,320 Speaker 1: former Secretary of State, former national security adviser and now 1038 01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: a very happy football fan and led Zeppelin fan and 1039 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:08,000 Speaker 1: and the author of the brand new book. It is 1040 01:02:08,040 --> 01:02:10,280 Speaker 1: a critical piece of work. I urge you to read, 1041 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:12,920 Speaker 1: and it's up on Hannity dot com Democracy Stories from 1042 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 1: the Long Road to Freedom. Dr Rice. I I look 1043 01:02:15,880 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 1: at the actions that you're talking about, and people forget 1044 01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: that we were able to sustain America's military strength in 1045 01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: the midst of a Cold War and eventually we want 1046 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,800 Speaker 1: do you see similar situations playing out, especially as it 1047 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,720 Speaker 1: relates to Iran and North Korea. I think in the 1048 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 1: long run, Sean, we will win if we persevere, if 1049 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 1: America is strong, and if our ideals persevere, and I 1050 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:42,000 Speaker 1: think we have to work on on all fronts. Like 1051 01:02:42,080 --> 01:02:45,040 Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that we're going to go around using 1052 01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 1: our military power to bring about democracy. One of the 1053 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,000 Speaker 1: things I really hope to do with this book, Sean, 1054 01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:53,320 Speaker 1: is you know, whenever you say democracy promotions, people say, well, 1055 01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: there was a rock and there was Afghanistan. In fact, 1056 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,120 Speaker 1: I would never have said the President Bush ms MS, president, 1057 01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,720 Speaker 1: you should use military force to bring them amocracy to 1058 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,880 Speaker 1: Afghanistan into Iraq. Those were security problems. In Afghanistan, we 1059 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,000 Speaker 1: had a safe haven for al Qaida after nine eleven. 1060 01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,080 Speaker 1: In Iraq we had a brutal dictator who had terrorized 1061 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,360 Speaker 1: the region and who we believed was rebuilding his weapons 1062 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:16,360 Speaker 1: and mass destruction. But once we had overthrown those dictators, 1063 01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:19,360 Speaker 1: now we had to decide what did we think we 1064 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:21,520 Speaker 1: should try to leave there? And we tried to leave 1065 01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,480 Speaker 1: democratic governments and give the Iraqi chance, the Iraqis in 1066 01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:27,920 Speaker 1: the Afghans a chance for democracy. Democracy promotion is well, 1067 01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,800 Speaker 1: we pulled out too early. We pulled out too early. 1068 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,360 Speaker 1: That is absolutely, we didn't finish the job. Five thousand 1069 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,520 Speaker 1: Americans died and fought bled and so many others injured. 1070 01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't even know if in good conscience, Dr Rice, 1071 01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,920 Speaker 1: I can support it. If America, like in Vietnam and 1072 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,480 Speaker 1: in the case of Iraq, doesn't have the will to 1073 01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,360 Speaker 1: see these things through, well, you are right, we pulled 1074 01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:50,120 Speaker 1: out too early. In two thousand and eleven, Uh, the 1075 01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 1: Obama administration was saying Iraq is stable and democratic. Well, 1076 01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,320 Speaker 1: they were right about one part of it. It was democratic, 1077 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,280 Speaker 1: but it wasn't yet stable, and we after the surge, 1078 01:03:58,400 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 1: we had actually help to make it stable. Now we're back, 1079 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,560 Speaker 1: and I hope this time that we are willing to 1080 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,440 Speaker 1: help the Iraqis get stable, and then you'll have a 1081 01:04:09,560 --> 01:04:12,360 Speaker 1: read You'll have a pillar of stability in the middle. 1082 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,040 Speaker 1: Me ask a last question, how does America how do 1083 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:18,720 Speaker 1: we balance dealing with countries like Saudi Arabia where women 1084 01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:22,000 Speaker 1: can drive, gays and lesbians are killed, Christians and Jews 1085 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: are persecuted, and yet we have to create alliances with 1086 01:04:24,680 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: people that have such twisted and backwards views. Of my opinion, yeah, 1087 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:31,440 Speaker 1: that the fact is that you're never going to just 1088 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,520 Speaker 1: be able to deal with people who have your values 1089 01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,479 Speaker 1: in interractional politics, and you're gonna have some allies, even 1090 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 1: some friends who don't share your values. But over time 1091 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 1: you have to try and uh convince them that it's 1092 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:45,800 Speaker 1: better to reform. I sure wish we'd convinced Mubark that 1093 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:50,280 Speaker 1: reform was was preferable to revolution. We'll look at LCC 1094 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 1: is doing great well, but he's gonna have to reform 1095 01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: to or because that's that powder keg and in Egypt 1096 01:04:56,120 --> 01:04:59,120 Speaker 1: will not stay uh will not stay down. So we 1097 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,400 Speaker 1: can we have to send our answers. Dr Rice her 1098 01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,560 Speaker 1: brand new book Democracy Stories from the Long Road to Freedom. 1099 01:05:06,680 --> 01:05:08,000 Speaker 1: Thank you for being with us. We'll see you in 1100 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,760 Speaker 1: a night on TV. All right, let me remind everybody, 1101 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,760 Speaker 1: and by the way, glad you're with us. Eight nine one, Shawn, 1102 01:05:13,840 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 1: if you want to be a part of this extravaganza 1103 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,080 Speaker 1: news round Up and Information Overload hour and let me 1104 01:05:19,160 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: remind you, James, comey, remember the most important story that 1105 01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: is slowly peeling. It's like a layer of an onion 1106 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 1: at a time, and that is surveillance, and that is 1107 01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:33,120 Speaker 1: unmasking and leaking of intelligence. And let me remind you 1108 01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: this is what James Comey has said about people like 1109 01:05:36,120 --> 01:05:39,480 Speaker 1: Susan Rice and others as it relates to this topic. 1110 01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:42,880 Speaker 1: With respect to Miss Abbot in particular, we we didn't 1111 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,240 Speaker 1: have any indication that she had a sense that what 1112 01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:49,680 Speaker 1: she was doing was in violation of the law. Couldn't 1113 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:53,720 Speaker 1: prove any sort of criminal intent. Really, the central problem 1114 01:05:53,800 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: we have with the whole email investigation was proving that 1115 01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,440 Speaker 1: people knew the Secretary and others knew that they were 1116 01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 1: doing something, that they were communicating about class of information 1117 01:06:03,840 --> 01:06:05,840 Speaker 1: in a way that they shouldn't be, and proving that 1118 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,480 Speaker 1: they had some sense that they were doing something unlawful. 1119 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:10,680 Speaker 1: That was our burden, and we weren't able to meet it. 1120 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,760 Speaker 1: I said to my team, We've got to walk into 1121 01:06:12,760 --> 01:06:15,080 Speaker 1: the world. Are really bad. I've got to tell Congress 1122 01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 1: that we're restarting this not in some frivolous way, in 1123 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,240 Speaker 1: a hugely significant way. And the team also told me 1124 01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 1: we cannot finish this work before the election. And then 1125 01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,840 Speaker 1: they worked night after night after night, and they found 1126 01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: thousands of new emails. They found classified information on Anthony Weiner. 1127 01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:36,120 Speaker 1: Somehow her emails are being forwarded to Anthony Weiner, including 1128 01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:40,120 Speaker 1: classified information by her assistant Huma Avidant. And so they 1129 01:06:40,120 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 1: found thousands of new emails and then called me the 1130 01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:45,200 Speaker 1: Saturday night before the election and said, thanks to the 1131 01:06:45,240 --> 01:06:48,840 Speaker 1: wizardry of our technology, we've only had to personally read 1132 01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:52,320 Speaker 1: six thousand. We think we can finish tomorrow morning, Sunday. 1133 01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 1: And so I met with them and they said, we 1134 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,440 Speaker 1: found a lot of new stuff. We did not find 1135 01:06:57,560 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 1: anything that changes our view of her intent. Do you 1136 01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,920 Speaker 1: agree with me that Anthony Winer of six should not 1137 01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:09,960 Speaker 1: have access to classified information? Yes? That would you agree 1138 01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,240 Speaker 1: with me that if that's not illegal, we've got really 1139 01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:16,520 Speaker 1: bad laws. Well, if he hadn't, well he got it 1140 01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:19,600 Speaker 1: somehow would be illegal. If he didn't have appropriate clearance. Well, 1141 01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,160 Speaker 1: do you agree with me he didn't have appropriate clearance? 1142 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: He if he did have appropriate clearance, that did it 1143 01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 1: even be worse? I don't believe at the time we 1144 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,320 Speaker 1: found that on his laptop that he had any kind 1145 01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:33,280 Speaker 1: of I agree. So for him to get it should 1146 01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: be a crime. Somebody should be prosecuted for letting Anthony 1147 01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,720 Speaker 1: Winer have access to class classified information. Does that make 1148 01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:44,000 Speaker 1: general sense? It could be a crime. Would depend upon 1149 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:45,520 Speaker 1: what the people do. You agree with me, it should 1150 01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:49,640 Speaker 1: be that anybody that lass Anthony Winner had classified information 1151 01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:52,680 Speaker 1: probably should be prosecuted. There's no Anthony Weiner statue, but 1152 01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 1: it is there's already. Well, maybe we need one that's 1153 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,480 Speaker 1: already a statue. Alright, it's already a statue. I just 1154 01:07:58,520 --> 01:08:00,960 Speaker 1: wonder how he didn't get that's a fount information and 1155 01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 1: not be a crime about somebody. All right. Joining us 1156 01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:06,440 Speaker 1: now is Sarah Carter. She is the senior national security 1157 01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:09,320 Speaker 1: correspondent for Circa dot Com. Also joining us John Solomon. 1158 01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:11,280 Speaker 1: I don't even know what his title is, but you 1159 01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 1: know I got to give John Solomon more kudos than Sarah, 1160 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,400 Speaker 1: who has been on vacation for four hundred years. How 1161 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:21,600 Speaker 1: long was your vacation? For nine days? You know, with 1162 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:24,120 Speaker 1: all due respect, you sound like Congress now within nine 1163 01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: day vacation. They're on another two week hiatus. They just 1164 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,559 Speaker 1: had a two week Easter break. I haven't had one 1165 01:08:30,600 --> 01:08:32,640 Speaker 1: in so long. It was fantastic, But I gotta tell you, 1166 01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,120 Speaker 1: it's hard to get back into the flow of everything here, 1167 01:08:36,160 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 1: all right. So what I want to go through is John. 1168 01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 1: We went over this Thursday night on Hannity, Let's let's 1169 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,280 Speaker 1: go through there were there was a dramatic increase in 1170 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:49,680 Speaker 1: surveillance unmasking of Americans during the final years and especially 1171 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:52,519 Speaker 1: in twos sixteen in the lead up to the selection 1172 01:08:52,680 --> 01:08:57,200 Speaker 1: of Americans, and i'm asking of Americans by the Obama administration, 1173 01:08:57,400 --> 01:08:59,519 Speaker 1: which can only when you look at the numbers make 1174 01:08:59,560 --> 01:09:03,080 Speaker 1: me conclude that this was all political. It's the numbers 1175 01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,560 Speaker 1: are really large. In nine in two thousands sixteen, in 1176 01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:08,280 Speaker 1: the middle of the election, Uh, the Obama administration ran 1177 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:12,440 Speaker 1: thirty five thousand searches on Americans through the NSA database, 1178 01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:15,920 Speaker 1: both for metadata and for actual contents of intercepts. And 1179 01:09:15,960 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 1: that was a three hundred to four percent increase over 1180 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,600 Speaker 1: so every year since Obama loosened the privacy protections and 1181 01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:26,519 Speaker 1: allowed this searching to start to begin, Uh, you start 1182 01:09:26,600 --> 01:09:28,679 Speaker 1: to see it being used more and more and more. 1183 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 1: In the middle of election year. The first question you're 1184 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,840 Speaker 1: gonna ask is was it being used for political espionage? 1185 01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:34,880 Speaker 1: And those are the sort of questions that we need 1186 01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,439 Speaker 1: to get from people like Susan Rice. But she hasn't 1187 01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:39,439 Speaker 1: agreed to testify yet, and so we're still on the 1188 01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: darkest and what motive they had, right, So what what 1189 01:09:42,479 --> 01:09:45,320 Speaker 1: percentage increase are we talking about in terms of surveillance. 1190 01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: I'masking and asking particularly fo were talking three to four 1191 01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 1: times as much searching in Steen as they did so 1192 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 1: three to four times more in a three year period 1193 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,200 Speaker 1: of time. Now, look, I've already been saying this, Sarah. 1194 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:02,439 Speaker 1: I don't know any other possible reason that they would 1195 01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,160 Speaker 1: do this, except if it is political surveillance, in other words, 1196 01:10:06,280 --> 01:10:10,120 Speaker 1: using America's intelligence agencies to go out there and in 1197 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,600 Speaker 1: this case look at not only the president and his 1198 01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:17,519 Speaker 1: campaign than campaign uh then candidate Donald Trump and those 1199 01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,040 Speaker 1: around him, but also those in the media that supported 1200 01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:22,920 Speaker 1: him and other political figures. Ran Paul has been saying 1201 01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:27,200 Speaker 1: this as well. It's absolutely one of the most important questions, Sean, 1202 01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 1: and I think it goes far beyond just political, uh, 1203 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 1: the political concerns here, And I think John brought up 1204 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:35,479 Speaker 1: a very very important point. I mean, people need to 1205 01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:38,519 Speaker 1: start answering questions. And it's not just Susan Rice. We 1206 01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,840 Speaker 1: have to look at you know, James Clapper, We have 1207 01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,599 Speaker 1: to ask you know Brennan, former head of the CIA, 1208 01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 1: and other people that had access to this type of information, 1209 01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:51,559 Speaker 1: even people within the administration that we're also having access 1210 01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,160 Speaker 1: to this information. Why were they collecting it? And you know, 1211 01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:56,000 Speaker 1: John brought up a very good point in his story 1212 01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,000 Speaker 1: and it's something that we researched early on in our 1213 01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,719 Speaker 1: first story. But you know, the f I we still 1214 01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:05,480 Speaker 1: don't know how many of these um you know, annasking 1215 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,800 Speaker 1: took place with the FBI. I mean, we don't have 1216 01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 1: those numbers. Think about this, This is a three increase 1217 01:11:13,360 --> 01:11:16,000 Speaker 1: with the n s A with looking at this n 1218 01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,519 Speaker 1: s A data, But we still don't know what the 1219 01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:22,519 Speaker 1: FBI was unnasking and that's an even bigger question right here. Well, 1220 01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:24,519 Speaker 1: I mean, and this is the thing. Every time James 1221 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:30,320 Speaker 1: called me speaks, he's always obscure and obtus and you know, 1222 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 1: I'm nebulous about all of these issues. And he seems 1223 01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:38,640 Speaker 1: to be far more conversational about things involving Russia and 1224 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:41,280 Speaker 1: any influence the Russians may have had in a campaign, 1225 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 1: when in fact, there's zero evidence to corroborate it, and 1226 01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,800 Speaker 1: we've been hearing about it since November nine yet, But 1227 01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 1: remember when he was pushed, when he was pushed last 1228 01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,680 Speaker 1: week in his interviews, when he was pushed, and I 1229 01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:55,680 Speaker 1: believe it was you were on vacation and you were 1230 01:11:55,720 --> 01:12:01,000 Speaker 1: watching James call me. Now. I'm impressed being pushed by 1231 01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:04,840 Speaker 1: that by Lindsey Graham um and and asked about you know, 1232 01:12:04,960 --> 01:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Fusion GPS and the company that was behind this dot 1233 01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:11,760 Speaker 1: pier that that started this whole mess. When he was 1234 01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,639 Speaker 1: pushed by that, he didn't answer the question. He didn't 1235 01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:16,600 Speaker 1: want to answer the question. So we only answered the 1236 01:12:16,720 --> 01:12:20,160 Speaker 1: question that he felt comfortable in answering, not the ones 1237 01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,559 Speaker 1: that he didn't want to answer. And you know, there 1238 01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,639 Speaker 1: was a lot of evidence mounting now that Senator Grassley 1239 01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,680 Speaker 1: has been very concerned about this and others that the 1240 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,519 Speaker 1: company that actually was hired to do this dot pier 1241 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,960 Speaker 1: and the people that were behind it were actually working 1242 01:12:34,960 --> 01:12:37,840 Speaker 1: for the Russians too, And when Coley was pressed on 1243 01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 1: that question, he didn't want to answer it. So that's 1244 01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,200 Speaker 1: another big part of this puzzle that, I mean, that's 1245 01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,720 Speaker 1: still left an answer that still hanging out there, and 1246 01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 1: that that nobody really had focused on. John last week 1247 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 1: you said we're gonna learn a lot more this week. 1248 01:12:53,479 --> 01:12:56,120 Speaker 1: What do what do you anticipate we're gonna learn? Obviously 1249 01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:58,120 Speaker 1: you haven't released it yet, but you're working on a 1250 01:12:58,200 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: piece that is going to give some detail is about 1251 01:13:00,479 --> 01:13:02,560 Speaker 1: the names and the people that have been surveiled in 1252 01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:05,400 Speaker 1: a massed I think some of that came out Friday 1253 01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,040 Speaker 1: a little bit ahead of what I thought it would 1254 01:13:07,040 --> 01:13:09,599 Speaker 1: when Rand Paul gave us the letters saying that I 1255 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,880 Speaker 1: believe myself and several members of Congress we're also being 1256 01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:14,759 Speaker 1: spied on by the n s A through the Obama 1257 01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:18,800 Speaker 1: Had you been able to corroborate that independently, I have not. 1258 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: I've been at st Abriela Crawbord. He made the request, 1259 01:13:21,360 --> 01:13:23,880 Speaker 1: and then he has a legitimate concern. I have not 1260 01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:26,720 Speaker 1: been able to get anyone yet to confirm that he's 1261 01:13:26,760 --> 01:13:30,080 Speaker 1: among those whose names are unmasked or who whose names 1262 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:33,040 Speaker 1: were searching the database. But we're continuing to work on that. 1263 01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,639 Speaker 1: What we have corroborated, uh in a little a little 1264 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:38,160 Speaker 1: bit more generic senses that at least once a month 1265 01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,439 Speaker 1: under the Obama administration, a member of Congress's name was 1266 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:43,960 Speaker 1: unmasked and an intercept. And that raises the question how 1267 01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,479 Speaker 1: big a national security threat do we consider Congress to 1268 01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,920 Speaker 1: be if we're unmasking these guys once a month. And 1269 01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,120 Speaker 1: I think just just the frequency of the Congressional on 1270 01:13:52,200 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 1: masking should be enough to concern a lot of people. 1271 01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:57,040 Speaker 1: We haven't confirmed Rand Paul yet, but we're still working 1272 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:59,720 Speaker 1: on that. We want to know every member of Congress, 1273 01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,800 Speaker 1: UH and their name. Who I want to know if 1274 01:14:01,840 --> 01:14:03,720 Speaker 1: I was unmasked? I mean, because there were do you 1275 01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:07,080 Speaker 1: both saw those reports and I have no ability to 1276 01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 1: corroborate independently whether or not it's true. But Sarah, what 1277 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,080 Speaker 1: are you hearing on your end about the names? Is it? 1278 01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,439 Speaker 1: Is it Congress or these are these sixty and other 1279 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,960 Speaker 1: presidential candidates? What? I don't think it's just limited to Congress. 1280 01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:22,360 Speaker 1: On um, I don't think it's limited to Congress at all. 1281 01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,720 Speaker 1: I think that what John and I really want to 1282 01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:27,439 Speaker 1: find out it goes far beyond Congress. Were there other 1283 01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:29,599 Speaker 1: members on masks? And John and I had written about 1284 01:14:29,640 --> 01:14:33,400 Speaker 1: this early on in our first stories. Were their journalists? 1285 01:14:33,760 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 1: Where there doctors? Who else was being asked? Lawyers, people 1286 01:14:39,479 --> 01:14:43,120 Speaker 1: with important jobs, judges? You know, these are questions that 1287 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,840 Speaker 1: need to be answered, and nobody wants to give it up, right, 1288 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 1: they can hide under the classification of it, but eventually 1289 01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: these answers have to come forward. And I think it's 1290 01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,640 Speaker 1: a violation of civil liberties. If we don't have an 1291 01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:56,640 Speaker 1: answer to this, well, I think isn't it bigger than 1292 01:14:56,720 --> 01:14:59,200 Speaker 1: civil liberties? Though? Isn't that a violation of our Fourth 1293 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:03,040 Speaker 1: Amendment rights? And aren't we also discussing if intelligence, if 1294 01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:07,559 Speaker 1: the intelligence community is used for political op research and 1295 01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,840 Speaker 1: and taking away people's forward the Amendment rights. We're talking 1296 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:13,120 Speaker 1: about criminal actions here very well could be if the 1297 01:15:13,160 --> 01:15:15,800 Speaker 1: motive was not national security. If the reason for looking 1298 01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,960 Speaker 1: at this with period interest, political interest, personal payback, you 1299 01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,040 Speaker 1: could very well have Well, well, then how would they 1300 01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:26,640 Speaker 1: would have to show some compelling national security reason to 1301 01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:30,160 Speaker 1: have a four increase? Wouldn't they? You would either we 1302 01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,040 Speaker 1: have a lot more terrorists in the country or something 1303 01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:33,840 Speaker 1: else we're going on. And I think that that's the 1304 01:15:33,880 --> 01:15:37,519 Speaker 1: real question we UM. We did something last week, Sean 1305 01:15:37,560 --> 01:15:39,320 Speaker 1: that I think is going to be very important. We 1306 01:15:39,360 --> 01:15:41,200 Speaker 1: did the only thing we could do as journalists, which 1307 01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,599 Speaker 1: is to try to create a legal scenario to get 1308 01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: this information UM released. And so we took an old 1309 01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:51,200 Speaker 1: an executive order that ironically Barack Obama issued in that 1310 01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:52,920 Speaker 1: allows any American to go in and make it the 1311 01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:56,400 Speaker 1: classification request. And so we have asked the officeite UM 1312 01:15:56,600 --> 01:15:59,439 Speaker 1: Director of National Intelligence to the classify how many times 1313 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:05,560 Speaker 1: a journal, a member of Congress, a presidential candidate, a doctor, lawyer, 1314 01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:08,760 Speaker 1: or member of the clergy was unmasked under the Obama years. 1315 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:10,640 Speaker 1: And we're hoping we're going to get those numbers that 1316 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,680 Speaker 1: the administration takes it seriously and releases the data. This 1317 01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,000 Speaker 1: is really amazing and unbelievable stuff. Well, we'll hang on, 1318 01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,640 Speaker 1: We'll continue more with Sarah Carter John Solomon. Uh Sarah 1319 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:23,360 Speaker 1: is back on Hannity tonight, and John is back on 1320 01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:26,240 Speaker 1: Hanniday tonight, and Rampaul will be on Hannity tonight. I 1321 01:16:26,240 --> 01:16:30,519 Speaker 1: think this is the biggest national security first Amendment, fourth 1322 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,720 Speaker 1: Amendment issued to come down the pike. This is so 1323 01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:36,120 Speaker 1: much bigger if it turns out a increase in an 1324 01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:40,479 Speaker 1: election year against political opponents. This is so much bigger 1325 01:16:40,479 --> 01:16:44,000 Speaker 1: than anything that Watergate ever was in anybody's imagination. And 1326 01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 1: it's being ignored by the mainstream media um in a 1327 01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:52,160 Speaker 1: in a fairly spectacular way, which doesn't surprise me. Right, 1328 01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,280 Speaker 1: as we continue with Sarah Carter and John Solomon from 1329 01:16:55,360 --> 01:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Circa dot Com, how do we find out the list 1330 01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,280 Speaker 1: in the names and how soon will we be able 1331 01:17:01,320 --> 01:17:03,639 Speaker 1: to get that and what is the likelihood that any 1332 01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:07,520 Speaker 1: of this could have happened without Susan Rice Obama Clapper 1333 01:17:07,600 --> 01:17:11,080 Speaker 1: Brennan's knowledge. Well, I think the clock is ticking. We 1334 01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,920 Speaker 1: filed last week, and so under the executive order that 1335 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,040 Speaker 1: Obama issue, the government has only a year to get 1336 01:17:17,040 --> 01:17:18,400 Speaker 1: the data to us, where they have to do it 1337 01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:20,559 Speaker 1: within the next year. So far, we've got a very 1338 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,080 Speaker 1: positive response from the career people were talking to and 1339 01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:26,240 Speaker 1: we're very hopeful that uh, the administration, just like they 1340 01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,120 Speaker 1: did last week when they released some new data to 1341 01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,479 Speaker 1: us that showed the rapid growth to thirty five thousand searches, 1342 01:17:31,800 --> 01:17:33,760 Speaker 1: that they'll also maybe get assist out and help the 1343 01:17:33,760 --> 01:17:37,360 Speaker 1: American public understand what's going on. If that doesn't happen, 1344 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:39,439 Speaker 1: if we get turned down, then the only levers are 1345 01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:42,479 Speaker 1: left are are a lawsuit or Congress using its oversight 1346 01:17:42,520 --> 01:17:47,519 Speaker 1: authority to force this information into the public domain. Sarah, Yeah, well, 1347 01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,040 Speaker 1: that's exactly where I was going to go with it. 1348 01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 1: I think that it's I think this is going to 1349 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:52,599 Speaker 1: be a battle. I don't think it's going to be 1350 01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:56,040 Speaker 1: that easy. Um. I do think that the ability for 1351 01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,439 Speaker 1: John to get those uh numbers was incredible and that 1352 01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:04,240 Speaker 1: it opened up a door and expose how wide and 1353 01:18:04,280 --> 01:18:07,920 Speaker 1: how exligious I mean, these unmaskings and this collection was. 1354 01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,120 Speaker 1: But I do think that it's going to be a 1355 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,680 Speaker 1: fight to get those names released. And remember they can 1356 01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 1: hide under the guise of the classified doubt I mean 1357 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,759 Speaker 1: is they can say it's national security, we can't release 1358 01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:21,679 Speaker 1: these names. But I do think that Congress could battle 1359 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: to get those names released, and um, I think that 1360 01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: is an absolute possibility and that could happen. Yeah. Well, 1361 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:29,840 Speaker 1: I just think that the bottom line is if what 1362 01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,360 Speaker 1: we hear is true and your and by the way, 1363 01:18:32,400 --> 01:18:34,680 Speaker 1: I believe your reports, and I know you've corroborated them. 1364 01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,639 Speaker 1: I also know that you have more knowledge than you're 1365 01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,400 Speaker 1: able to go with now, because you know, you want 1366 01:18:39,439 --> 01:18:42,639 Speaker 1: to actually do real work and rudimentary background and fact checking. 1367 01:18:42,680 --> 01:18:44,120 Speaker 1: That a lot of my friends in the media, when 1368 01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,200 Speaker 1: they attack me, they just go with a single source 1369 01:18:46,479 --> 01:18:50,479 Speaker 1: and they go for the headshot and try and slander, smear, besmirch, 1370 01:18:50,600 --> 01:18:53,840 Speaker 1: and you know this obviously a lot of malice and 1371 01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:55,679 Speaker 1: what they do to me. But you're so you're doing 1372 01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 1: your job. What are the odds that we're going to 1373 01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,640 Speaker 1: hear that a lot of politicians, media of figures and 1374 01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,559 Speaker 1: others were brought into the surveillance as of course of 1375 01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:06,000 Speaker 1: this election. And what does that mean and how big 1376 01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: a story think potentially this gets. Sarah will start with you. 1377 01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:12,000 Speaker 1: I think it's highly likely, Sean, that there will be 1378 01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,320 Speaker 1: significant uh people revealed, let's just put it that way, 1379 01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:21,439 Speaker 1: that have been anmasked or that have been monitored. And 1380 01:19:21,560 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 1: I and I don't know, you know this is this 1381 01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 1: is what I say, you know, monitoring from the left, 1382 01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:29,120 Speaker 1: Whether they collected all this information overseas because these folks 1383 01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,880 Speaker 1: were talking to foreigners, how these unmaskings occurred, what their 1384 01:19:32,960 --> 01:19:36,280 Speaker 1: national security reason was that. I do believe that it's 1385 01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:39,200 Speaker 1: going to be a quite a significant number and important people, 1386 01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 1: people that everybody in the public will know. UM. So 1387 01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,479 Speaker 1: I think that's why this is so sensitive, and I 1388 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:47,120 Speaker 1: think that's why everyone's having such a difficult time with it. 1389 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,120 Speaker 1: I think the bigger question is here, why what was 1390 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:53,679 Speaker 1: it being used for this jest? I mean, why else 1391 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,040 Speaker 1: would they use it? There's no other reason except for 1392 01:19:56,200 --> 01:19:58,680 Speaker 1: political purposes. John will give you the last work. Yep. 1393 01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,240 Speaker 1: There the documentary is from I mentioned to you, no 1394 01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 1: one's paid attention to. It came out of the FIST Accord, 1395 01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:06,800 Speaker 1: and it says it was a filing by a former 1396 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:08,640 Speaker 1: federal prosecutor who went before the court and said, I 1397 01:20:08,680 --> 01:20:10,439 Speaker 1: don't think what's going on in the n s A 1398 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,519 Speaker 1: is very good. And this is what she wrote. There 1399 01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,599 Speaker 1: is no requirement for a search to be a matter 1400 01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:18,000 Speaker 1: of serious matter, even involved national security. For all it 1401 01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 1: could be, it could be a frivolous reason. That's what 1402 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,120 Speaker 1: concerns me about what's going on with the law. She 1403 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,479 Speaker 1: submitted that to the court. Now, this is very, very chilling, 1404 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,799 Speaker 1: and it will be the subject of a very important 1405 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,360 Speaker 1: segment along with John Sarah and Rand Paul tonight on 1406 01:20:31,560 --> 01:20:33,920 Speaker 1: Hannity ten Eastern. Thank you both for being with us. 1407 01:20:58,760 --> 01:21:02,200 Speaker 1: You can't always to get what you want, but you 1408 01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:07,760 Speaker 1: can get Sean Hannity online at Hannity dot com, regardless 1409 01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: of your political point of view here tonight are watching 1410 01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:12,680 Speaker 1: at home. I think we can all agree that the 1411 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,120 Speaker 1: last eight years the White House has given us a 1412 01:21:15,200 --> 01:21:22,360 Speaker 1: leader who's passionate, intelligent, and dignified. You talk like a 1413 01:21:22,439 --> 01:21:25,160 Speaker 1: sign language guerrilla who got hit in the head. In fact, 1414 01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: the only thing your mouth is good for is being 1415 01:21:27,240 --> 01:21:34,200 Speaker 1: Vladimir Putin's coolster preside. President Obama held his last press 1416 01:21:34,200 --> 01:21:38,360 Speaker 1: conference today. He talked about the complexities of peace in 1417 01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:43,160 Speaker 1: the Middle East, universal healthcare, job creation, pretty boring stuff, 1418 01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: and uh man, I'm gonna miss being board. At the 1419 01:21:48,320 --> 01:21:50,760 Speaker 1: end of that monologue, I had a few choice insults 1420 01:21:50,880 --> 01:21:54,599 Speaker 1: for the President in return. I don't regret that. So 1421 01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:59,920 Speaker 1: for the last time, from me, the real Stephen Colby 1422 01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,280 Speaker 1: are I just want to say, thanks, Obama. One reporter 1423 01:22:03,439 --> 01:22:07,160 Speaker 1: ran into ranks previous who told her the president stepped 1424 01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:09,679 Speaker 1: up and helped punt the ball into the end zone. 1425 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:12,639 Speaker 1: I think you're more accurate. Football metaphor might have been 1426 01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:18,680 Speaker 1: the GOP just kicked America. And after listening to this 1427 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:22,400 Speaker 1: scandal and listening to the Benghazi scandal, what I came 1428 01:22:22,439 --> 01:22:26,480 Speaker 1: away with is what I thought years ago after Nixon scandals, 1429 01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:29,000 Speaker 1: which is the culture always comes from the top. If 1430 01:22:29,040 --> 01:22:32,519 Speaker 1: the top guy is corrupt and shady and sketchy, then 1431 01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:36,639 Speaker 1: everyone down gets corrupt and and and he's not He's clean, 1432 01:22:36,840 --> 01:22:39,720 Speaker 1: and basically his government is clean. And these scandals have 1433 01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 1: proven that the government is basically clean. They're not being 1434 01:22:43,200 --> 01:23:08,320 Speaker 1: with people in any way are mostly holding my tongue 1435 01:23:08,320 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: about the president this past season because I didn't want 1436 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,400 Speaker 1: to muddy the waters in the country where you only 1437 01:23:12,439 --> 01:23:15,639 Speaker 1: get two choices. But Mr President, there are two ways 1438 01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:20,120 Speaker 1: to look at your victory. One as we love you. 1439 01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,479 Speaker 1: The other is we like you three percent better than 1440 01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:26,519 Speaker 1: Mitt Romney. Oh along is going to be our saving grace. 1441 01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, when he's about the nuke Finland or something, 1442 01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:36,360 Speaker 1: She's going to walk into the bedroom and you know, Daddy, Daddy, 1443 01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:42,680 Speaker 1: don't daddy. I think the second term for Obama is 1444 01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,599 Speaker 1: more important even than the first. Obviously it was important 1445 01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:48,320 Speaker 1: to get the first black president elected. But if the 1446 01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:52,639 Speaker 1: first black president only has one term, America reads that 1447 01:23:52,920 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 1: as a failures. This is what the right wing hopes 1448 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:59,000 Speaker 1: and praise for more than anything else. That America looks 1449 01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,240 Speaker 1: at this one term phrasing and goes, well, you know what, 1450 01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,519 Speaker 1: we tried a black guy, but it just didn't work. 1451 01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:07,960 Speaker 1: And I think Obama is aware of that. He That's 1452 01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,559 Speaker 1: why I think he is as conservative in the first time. 1453 01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:14,400 Speaker 1: He knows for the sake of black America he needs 1454 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,479 Speaker 1: the second term. Alright, twenty three now before the top 1455 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:19,599 Speaker 1: of the hour, our toll free telephone numbers eight dred 1456 01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:20,960 Speaker 1: nine one, Sean you want to be a part of 1457 01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:24,559 Speaker 1: the program. It's amazing the amount of response that I 1458 01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 1: have gotten because I say I do not support the 1459 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:31,800 Speaker 1: fire Stephen Colbert hashtag on Twitter and then I've been 1460 01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:35,320 Speaker 1: speaking out so strongly against Boycott's And by the way, 1461 01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:37,880 Speaker 1: this is not the first time Bill Maher has crossed 1462 01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,680 Speaker 1: the line. And this time again, you know, it just 1463 01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:44,360 Speaker 1: seems they are obsessed with attacking Ivanka Trump. By the way, 1464 01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,360 Speaker 1: she has a great new book out and I tweeted 1465 01:24:46,400 --> 01:24:50,519 Speaker 1: it out this weekend and you know what it's. It's 1466 01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:52,840 Speaker 1: called Women Work. It's well, you know, I'll put it 1467 01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:55,200 Speaker 1: up on I'm allowed to do whatever I want, but 1468 01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:57,120 Speaker 1: you can put it up on my website. Put it 1469 01:24:57,200 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 1: up for her, because I think it's a great idea 1470 01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,519 Speaker 1: and a great book. And you know, look, I don't 1471 01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:03,400 Speaker 1: know her as well as I know Don Junior and 1472 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:05,559 Speaker 1: I know Eric, but I've I've known and been around 1473 01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:07,280 Speaker 1: her and met her and hung out with her. I mean, 1474 01:25:07,640 --> 01:25:11,840 Speaker 1: lovely human being. Even long before Donald Trump ever decided 1475 01:25:11,840 --> 01:25:14,800 Speaker 1: to run for president. She I would see her at 1476 01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:16,720 Speaker 1: Trump Tower at the times that I was there, and 1477 01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, Donald Trump was always proud of his children, 1478 01:25:19,439 --> 01:25:21,519 Speaker 1: and he'd walk me around and he'd introduced me to 1479 01:25:21,560 --> 01:25:24,840 Speaker 1: Don Junior and and then Eric and then Ivanka and 1480 01:25:24,840 --> 01:25:27,880 Speaker 1: and they're just nice people in just general in life 1481 01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:31,519 Speaker 1: and polite and respectful and kind and hard working. I mean, 1482 01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:34,280 Speaker 1: she worked up to I think the week before I 1483 01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: think actually two days before she gave birth to one 1484 01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,439 Speaker 1: of her children. I remember seeing her at the time, 1485 01:25:39,439 --> 01:25:42,040 Speaker 1: and I remember congratulating her and she said, I'm gonna 1486 01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:44,400 Speaker 1: keep working as long as I can. And you know what, 1487 01:25:44,479 --> 01:25:46,559 Speaker 1: you gotta give somebody a lot of credit. She's she 1488 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:49,759 Speaker 1: takes She took cabs for years when she could easily 1489 01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,680 Speaker 1: use her father's car service. So I think it just 1490 01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,360 Speaker 1: speaks volumes that the kids don't get to use his plane. 1491 01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,839 Speaker 1: That's his plane, and they're told, no, you travel commercial. 1492 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:00,800 Speaker 1: And so there's a out of respect that I have. 1493 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:04,240 Speaker 1: But now they've attacked Melania Trump. Okay, English is our 1494 01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:08,679 Speaker 1: fifth language. It's ridiculous. I can't stand the attacks against 1495 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:10,719 Speaker 1: a ten year old kid. I can't stand the attacks 1496 01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,719 Speaker 1: against the first lady or the first daughter. I guess 1497 01:26:13,720 --> 01:26:15,439 Speaker 1: you can argue that, all right, Ivanka is in the 1498 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:18,120 Speaker 1: political arena a little bit, But this level of attack, 1499 01:26:18,439 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: with all the sexual innuendo, it's creepy, it's bizarre, and 1500 01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:25,799 Speaker 1: it's so over the top, and it's so It's something 1501 01:26:25,840 --> 01:26:29,679 Speaker 1: that would never happen with Barack Obama's president, nor should 1502 01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,360 Speaker 1: it happen to Barack Obama. We never went after his 1503 01:26:32,760 --> 01:26:35,200 Speaker 1: except for his White's comments about for the first time 1504 01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,000 Speaker 1: in my adult life of my product can. We never 1505 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,960 Speaker 1: went after her. I can't think of an instance where 1506 01:26:40,320 --> 01:26:43,479 Speaker 1: sexual references were made about the daughters that was. It's 1507 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,840 Speaker 1: so despicable and disgusting. Those girls seem like great kits, 1508 01:26:47,280 --> 01:26:49,200 Speaker 1: and it's not easy growing up in the White House, 1509 01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:52,040 Speaker 1: and they deserve to be left alone, as does you 1510 01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,040 Speaker 1: know Baron Trump need to be left alone. It's just 1511 01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:57,719 Speaker 1: it's so vicious, it's so meaning that I'm even talking 1512 01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,599 Speaker 1: about the attacks on Rynes or bad And or Miller 1513 01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,759 Speaker 1: or Kelly Inn or anybody that is close to the president. 1514 01:27:03,840 --> 01:27:06,040 Speaker 1: You know, there's a study out by the Center for 1515 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,000 Speaker 1: Media and Public Affairs at George Mason University study a 1516 01:27:09,080 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 1: late night comedians they've targeted Trump more than any other president, 1517 01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,759 Speaker 1: like Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton is a surprise, 1518 01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,679 Speaker 1: you know, but I would even take it a step further. 1519 01:27:17,720 --> 01:27:22,400 Speaker 1: It's never been this vicious, this vile, as personal, this disgusting, 1520 01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:26,440 Speaker 1: and no comedian would have gone near this line with 1521 01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,160 Speaker 1: with Barack Obama shows you just how biased it is. 1522 01:27:29,240 --> 01:27:32,320 Speaker 1: Name you know, Steve Colbet is now literally rebuilding what 1523 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:35,200 Speaker 1: was a flailing career, in a dying career off of 1524 01:27:35,200 --> 01:27:38,160 Speaker 1: this and as his fifty comedians just sit around the 1525 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,880 Speaker 1: table all day and writers, and all they do is, 1526 01:27:40,960 --> 01:27:43,479 Speaker 1: how can we be more vicious than Bill Maher? Bill Maher? 1527 01:27:43,479 --> 01:27:45,120 Speaker 1: How can we move more vicious? I want to get 1528 01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:47,599 Speaker 1: on the publicity train. And some of you are saying, 1529 01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:49,400 Speaker 1: a little Hannity, why don't you support us, why don't 1530 01:27:49,439 --> 01:27:53,280 Speaker 1: you support a boycott? Because you gotta understand these tactics, 1531 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,799 Speaker 1: techniques already being used against conservatives. I believe in freedom 1532 01:27:56,840 --> 01:28:00,840 Speaker 1: of speech, even disgusting speech, even despicable, vile speech. And 1533 01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:03,160 Speaker 1: if you don't like Bill Maher, don't watch a show. 1534 01:28:03,360 --> 01:28:06,160 Speaker 1: If you don't like Colbert, don't watch his show. If 1535 01:28:06,160 --> 01:28:08,760 Speaker 1: you don't like me, you have to watch my show. 1536 01:28:08,920 --> 01:28:10,640 Speaker 1: And it's just a rule. Anyway, we'll get to your 1537 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:12,719 Speaker 1: comments on this. By the way, I thought of Lenda. 1538 01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:15,639 Speaker 1: This weekend, there's two articles out on the same topic. 1539 01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:20,759 Speaker 1: Science editor Ian Sample writes that the headline is strong 1540 01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:25,679 Speaker 1: language and swearing makes you stronger. Psychologists confirm the other headline, 1541 01:28:25,680 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 1: a dirty mouth may be a sign of integrity. Study 1542 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:33,360 Speaker 1: associates swearing with increased honesty by the way you say, 1543 01:28:33,479 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 1: you know, you're always honest. And we lost Treat, our 1544 01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,240 Speaker 1: show dog on Friday. And did you see what I 1545 01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 1: tweeted out for you? Just for you, Sunshine? I sent 1546 01:28:42,240 --> 01:28:47,160 Speaker 1: out and I I kind of I said, I hope 1547 01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,000 Speaker 1: Treat makes it. I think he's gonna make it, deep 1548 01:28:49,040 --> 01:28:52,320 Speaker 1: down in my heart. But really, deep down, it's a girl. Whatever, 1549 01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,960 Speaker 1: it's a dog. It's a dog, all right. So Linda 1550 01:28:55,040 --> 01:28:56,600 Speaker 1: swears a lot, and we talk a lot about it 1551 01:28:56,600 --> 01:28:59,720 Speaker 1: on the show. I mean her her lend promise was 1552 01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:02,200 Speaker 1: she isn't gonna square, and you know, she broke that 1553 01:29:02,240 --> 01:29:04,320 Speaker 1: in thirty seconds and then she gave up. And I 1554 01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 1: don't know what you ended up giving up, but I 1555 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,400 Speaker 1: think there is a certain degree if you're just letting 1556 01:29:08,400 --> 01:29:11,760 Speaker 1: it rip, you're being honest. Now you're not honest all 1557 01:29:11,800 --> 01:29:14,320 Speaker 1: the time? Is I tell it like it is? First 1558 01:29:14,320 --> 01:29:19,560 Speaker 1: of all. Nobody's a straight shooter like me, nobody new buddy. 1559 01:29:19,720 --> 01:29:21,640 Speaker 1: When you said that you thought Treat was gonna make it, 1560 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,240 Speaker 1: and you think she's gonna make it, she might be 1561 01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:27,360 Speaker 1: very depressing. I'm not happy about that. Treats gonna make it, 1562 01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,320 Speaker 1: and I told you why because the techniques they're gonna 1563 01:29:29,360 --> 01:29:31,519 Speaker 1: use are gonna be pretty hard. Please don't talk about it. 1564 01:29:31,560 --> 01:29:33,760 Speaker 1: I can't he I can. I am telling you they're 1565 01:29:33,760 --> 01:29:36,200 Speaker 1: gonna put a choke chain on her. Don't talk about it. 1566 01:29:36,240 --> 01:29:39,360 Speaker 1: Don't talk about it. I'm talking about it, and you didn't. 1567 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:41,519 Speaker 1: Without that, I don't think treat would make it. But 1568 01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,720 Speaker 1: because I know they have to use difficult techniques for 1569 01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:46,760 Speaker 1: a dog that doesn't listen. That dog does not listen 1570 01:29:46,840 --> 01:29:52,799 Speaker 1: on Friday, treat set jump, you say, treat, sit up. Command, 1571 01:29:52,840 --> 01:29:55,200 Speaker 1: It might not be the right command. Does a command? 1572 01:29:55,320 --> 01:29:58,559 Speaker 1: Sunshine in there. Lauren has spent months trying to get 1573 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:00,920 Speaker 1: this dog not to jump on people. I walk in 1574 01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 1: the room every single time jump saw me dives on me. Yes, 1575 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,720 Speaker 1: because you encourage it. No, I there were plenty of 1576 01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 1: days I didn't encourage anything, and she dove right on me. Linda, 1577 01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,960 Speaker 1: you the truth, tell her true and false. That's kind 1578 01:30:13,960 --> 01:30:16,320 Speaker 1: of true. It's kind of true. It's kind of true. 1579 01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:18,240 Speaker 1: Not kind of true, it's true. I have been several 1580 01:30:18,280 --> 01:30:20,400 Speaker 1: guests that have come in here, and I've gotten the 1581 01:30:20,439 --> 01:30:25,920 Speaker 1: treat welcome. I don't look. I even offered, did you 1582 01:30:25,960 --> 01:30:29,360 Speaker 1: tell Sunshine what I told you to do on Friday? Oh? Yeah, 1583 01:30:29,520 --> 01:30:32,120 Speaker 1: on Friday? He says to me, listen, you need to 1584 01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,360 Speaker 1: work your magic and get the dog back. And I'm like, 1585 01:30:34,680 --> 01:30:37,280 Speaker 1: oh my no, I said, I said, call them, I'll 1586 01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:39,519 Speaker 1: pay for two dogs and let her have the dogs, right, 1587 01:30:39,520 --> 01:30:41,360 Speaker 1: And I was just like, I can't, I can't. Didn't 1588 01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:43,599 Speaker 1: tell her. I didn't tell her. She well, you told me. 1589 01:30:43,720 --> 01:30:45,639 Speaker 1: She was crying. And what is the thing I can't 1590 01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:47,960 Speaker 1: handle in life? The morst? What do I do every 1591 01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: time somebody cries you leave the room. I give money 1592 01:30:50,800 --> 01:30:55,040 Speaker 1: I don't know about in front of you. So I 1593 01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:57,160 Speaker 1: don't have that experience. So one night I go in 1594 01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:00,679 Speaker 1: a Fox and and the makeup and hear plow wonderful 1595 01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: And they've been around me twenty years. Okay, So Vin 1596 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,120 Speaker 1: is crying and I'm like why, I don't know. So 1597 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,439 Speaker 1: I reached into my podcast. All right, here's a hundred 1598 01:31:09,439 --> 01:31:12,559 Speaker 1: dollars fun money. You gotta stop and she goes, okay, boss, 1599 01:31:12,840 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 1: and she stopped crying. The next night, I come in 1600 01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:18,360 Speaker 1: Foosy what I call Foodsball. She's been there for twenty 1601 01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,800 Speaker 1: one years. Sheets was crying. I'm what is going on here? 1602 01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:25,479 Speaker 1: And I said, all right, here, stop crying. They're like oh, 1603 01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:28,320 Speaker 1: and then he focuses them, so we should all just 1604 01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:31,280 Speaker 1: start crying so you can hand us a hundred dollar bills. Well, 1605 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,320 Speaker 1: I tried to buy you the dog, and I said, 1606 01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,360 Speaker 1: I paid for two dogs for treat. Listen, I need 1607 01:31:36,400 --> 01:31:40,559 Speaker 1: to explain something to you. I'll get it. All you 1608 01:31:40,560 --> 01:31:42,120 Speaker 1: have to do is ask. You don't have to fake 1609 01:31:42,160 --> 01:31:46,679 Speaker 1: it to ask. So on Friday, what happened is Canaan 1610 01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: Companions holds this event where you bring Treat and other 1611 01:31:51,439 --> 01:31:55,479 Speaker 1: dogs that are graduating into their advanced training program and 1612 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,599 Speaker 1: you have a nice little ceremony. But at the same time, 1613 01:31:57,640 --> 01:31:59,800 Speaker 1: the dogs that have actually passed all the tests are 1614 01:31:59,840 --> 01:32:03,040 Speaker 1: being handed off to the people who what are the 1615 01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,800 Speaker 1: percentage of dogs that fail? Oh, treats, dog, Treat is 1616 01:32:07,840 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 1: not gonna pass. That's not true, because no, no, no, 1617 01:32:10,520 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna choke her to death. So if That means 1618 01:32:14,800 --> 01:32:16,599 Speaker 1: they don't use that technique. I said, the only way 1619 01:32:16,640 --> 01:32:20,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna get her to calm down is choke chainery dogs. 1620 01:32:20,200 --> 01:32:22,880 Speaker 1: They love those dogs so much and they're treated with 1621 01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,360 Speaker 1: so much respect and love that I mean, I don't 1622 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:29,320 Speaker 1: exactly the tax. If a dog fails, do we get 1623 01:32:29,360 --> 01:32:31,559 Speaker 1: the first option to buy it back? Yeah, you don't 1624 01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,920 Speaker 1: even have to buy her really? Okay, so treat will 1625 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:35,439 Speaker 1: be how long will it take for her to get 1626 01:32:35,439 --> 01:32:37,280 Speaker 1: back here? We ought to have a pool on Hannity 1627 01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 1: dot com because treats coming home, we will get treat. 1628 01:32:41,200 --> 01:32:43,439 Speaker 1: Treat is just on a vacation. Treat is not gonna 1629 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,519 Speaker 1: last more than a couple of days. I'm surprised they 1630 01:32:46,520 --> 01:32:49,160 Speaker 1: haven't called yet. There's no way the dog passed if 1631 01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:52,120 Speaker 1: it's a trying to get through in the eight hundred number, 1632 01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,680 Speaker 1: Mr Handy, Please and but and so I'm guessing that 1633 01:32:55,800 --> 01:33:00,200 Speaker 1: the docile dog before treat. Remember what was that dog's name? Most? 1634 01:33:00,280 --> 01:33:03,200 Speaker 1: All right? Mr Moates? Mr Moates passed? I bet right. 1635 01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:07,120 Speaker 1: He became a breeder because they loved his temperaments. Oh 1636 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:10,040 Speaker 1: because mots, if you said upmost most wild, look at you? 1637 01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:12,559 Speaker 1: Please don't make me get up a puppy. I've never 1638 01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:15,360 Speaker 1: seen a puppy that had zero energy. I mean, so, 1639 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 1: I mean I like the dog, but I will be honest, 1640 01:33:18,400 --> 01:33:21,760 Speaker 1: treat is so much more fun. Remember you remember the 1641 01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,440 Speaker 1: dog Vinny. I sent you a picture of him on Faday, 1642 01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 1: so he's actually Moates his son really would. Here's what 1643 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:30,599 Speaker 1: I'm willing to do for you to make you happy 1644 01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,960 Speaker 1: because you were crying on Friday. I am willing to 1645 01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:37,479 Speaker 1: get a Moats son or daughter, and I am willing 1646 01:33:37,720 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 1: to make treat the show dog. And I'll take care 1647 01:33:40,960 --> 01:33:43,320 Speaker 1: of all the vet bills, all the food or whatever 1648 01:33:43,360 --> 01:33:46,800 Speaker 1: treat needs. But with one condition. If treat comes back, 1649 01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:49,320 Speaker 1: treats allowed to be treat. I mean, if treat wants 1650 01:33:49,360 --> 01:33:52,320 Speaker 1: to jump, I don't need you screaming at me for 1651 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,160 Speaker 1: making because the dog jumps, because you screamed at me 1652 01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:58,479 Speaker 1: a lot of times, because you were encouraging it every 1653 01:33:58,479 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: step of the way. Well, I did it as a 1654 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:02,160 Speaker 1: favorite for you because I knew you were in love 1655 01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:03,920 Speaker 1: with the dogs. So if the dog fails, you get 1656 01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,719 Speaker 1: to keep the dog, don't Don't you love that dog? 1657 01:34:06,880 --> 01:34:10,280 Speaker 1: Jason is not the biggest dog I you love Treat Jason. 1658 01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,360 Speaker 1: You know what's not. What was not to love about her? 1659 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:18,240 Speaker 1: The dog? Yes, the dog, her treat the dog, yes, her, 1660 01:34:18,439 --> 01:34:21,200 Speaker 1: her her? What's the difference? Why do you guys get 1661 01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:23,880 Speaker 1: so technical? There's a pretty big difference. Shot. I don't know. 1662 01:34:23,920 --> 01:34:30,000 Speaker 1: If actually I have two girls, I am very excited. 1663 01:34:30,240 --> 01:34:32,559 Speaker 1: I'm just I think we need to have a pool. 1664 01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:36,680 Speaker 1: When do they put treat through the whole program, regardless 1665 01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 1: of its ability to pass? No. I think once they 1666 01:34:39,479 --> 01:34:42,400 Speaker 1: start realizing whether or not they are capable, they let 1667 01:34:42,439 --> 01:34:45,200 Speaker 1: them go. Oh, he'll treats back by the she will 1668 01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:47,200 Speaker 1: be back by the end of the week. That's exciting. 1669 01:34:47,240 --> 01:34:49,120 Speaker 1: That's good. We're gonna get treat back. I don't know. 1670 01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:50,599 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people liked her. A lot 1671 01:34:50,600 --> 01:34:53,360 Speaker 1: of the trainers see some potential in her. Okay, treat 1672 01:34:53,439 --> 01:34:56,320 Speaker 1: if they don't don't pass. There's no way that dog 1673 01:34:56,400 --> 01:34:59,080 Speaker 1: is passing. There's no The dog is too alive and 1674 01:34:59,160 --> 01:35:01,800 Speaker 1: free and fun and she's been hanging out with us, 1675 01:35:01,840 --> 01:35:04,519 Speaker 1: and you know, when you're not looking, we just we 1676 01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:06,840 Speaker 1: have more fun and feed her and do everything that 1677 01:35:06,880 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 1: you didn't want us to do. We trained her welts, 1678 01:35:08,920 --> 01:35:11,080 Speaker 1: we trained her sus. She came pass and we trained 1679 01:35:11,120 --> 01:35:12,680 Speaker 1: her to come back, and we trained her to come 1680 01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:16,240 Speaker 1: back home.
