WEBVTT - War Powers Resolution 0:00:10.320 --> 0:00:25.400 Well, we are coming. See y'all sitting well, and if 0:00:25.400 --> 0:00:29.160 you want a little banging, come along as we defend 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.400 our people in interests. Let me reiterate that the United 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:33.879 States is not seeking a war with Iran, but we 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.040 are prepared to finish one. I salute the incredible skill 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:40.839 and courage of America's men and women in uniform. For 0:00:40.960 --> 0:00:45.400 far too long, all the way back to nineteen seventy nine, 0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:51.199 to be exact, nations have tolerated Rand's destructive and stabilizing 0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.480 behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over, 0:00:56.280 --> 0:01:02.800 Team minus two hundred and ninety eight days left till 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:09.400 the presidential election. Be aware of coming to your st 0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:14.320 Gotta play our guests and saying you a conscious song. 0:01:15.120 --> 0:01:23.000 From coast to coast, from border to border, from sea 0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:31.880 to shining sea. Sean Kennedy is born. Thank you, Scott Shannon, 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:36.800 and happy Friday, two hundred and ninety eight days to 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:41.360 go to the moment that you we the American people, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.640 You got a shot at shocking the world again. And 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.880 just imagine, just let your mind wander for a second 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.840 into a happy place, and all of a sudden, all 0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:58.160 these news organizations so vested in their rage, their psychotic 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.240 hate Trump every second, minute, hour of any twenty four 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:05.920 hour day, every week, every month, every day of the year, 0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:09.000 even leading up to Christmas. The urgency. We gotta do 0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.040 it urgently. It's gotta be urgent, urgent, urgent in beach 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:15.440 and beach and beach. Well, not so fast, um, and 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:19.400 you hear the words, we can now project. Let's go 0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:24.120 through CNN. Fake news can now project that Donald J. 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.080 Trump has been re elected the forty fifth president of 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:31.040 the United States. Who's gonna get that duty over at 0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:35.200 fake news CNN? Or could you imagine it was so 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:39.600 bad the last time? It's almost entertaining over an area 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:46.120 fifty one Roswell, Rachel Maddow, The Conspiracy Theory Channel, all 0:02:46.200 --> 0:02:52.000 things nutty, all things loopy, all things wrong. Um, you know, 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:57.640 just well, we can now project Donald J. Trump has 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.520 been elected reelected forty FN president. I'd say, look, I'm 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.359 I don't know just the way I've brought up. I'm 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.880 always waiting for the next bomb to be dropped on 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.000 my head. Maybe it's an Irish American thing. What do 0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:12.320 you think, Linda, You're Irish, right, It's kind of hits 0:03:12.560 --> 0:03:16.120 in a potato never failed anybody? What's that six packet 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.600 of potato? Never failed? Now, these are things you can 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:21.000 only say because you're Irish. What is the Irish seven 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.799 chorus meal? A six packet of potato? Unless you're Howard Stern, 0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.480 you can say anything you want. He's the only one 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:29.079 that has He's like grandfathered in with freedom that nobody 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:32.560 else off at the knees anymore. Forget about it. Nah, 0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:36.040 you know he's still Howard. It's fine. Now, let me 0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.640 just start with good news here today, because there's a 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:41.480 lot of heavy stuff, looks like impeachment madness. The trial 0:03:41.520 --> 0:03:44.520 will begin Wednesday. And I want to reiterate something that 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.840 I said on television last night because I am I 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:50.320 am serious about this, and I want all of these 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.200 Republicans they better, they better pay very close attention. I 0:03:53.200 --> 0:03:57.280 am not. American people are not going to tolerate senators 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:03.320 in Republican senators trying to do the job of the 0:04:03.360 --> 0:04:09.080 House over this yesterday. Constitution very clearly empowers the House 0:04:09.120 --> 0:04:13.440 and the House of Representatives. Only they get to do 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.720 the impeachment. Then the trial is in the US Senate. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.080 Then we have the Supreme Court justice in this case, 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:26.760 Chief Justice John Roberts preside. Now they did their impeachment. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:31.800 It's pathetic. We first had the closed door auditions to 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.400 see if we can get hearsay or fact witnesses to 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:37.599 be more than what they really are, and that didn't work. 0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:41.080 But they took then they hid the information. But they 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:43.440 were really auditioning. This is all part of the shift show. 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.040 First they took it out of the judiciary, which constitutionally 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:47.919 is where it should have been in the beginning. But 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.800 somehow Nancy Pelosi favors the compromised, corrupt, congenital liar, and 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:56.880 he is a liar. Adam Schiff love to have him 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.320 come on this program, give him three straight hours. The 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.840 only guy I know colluding with Russians to get dirt 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.640 on Donald Trump, which one of the funniest tapes we've 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.240 ever played. We're not gonna play it now, but it's 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:11.120 their constitutional role to do. It's all right. They've they've 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:13.440 now gone down. They jumped out of the airplane a 0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:15.839 long time ago. They've been wanting to do this. They 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:20.200 thought Muller was the Holy Growl that failed. Four investigations failed. 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:23.760 Trump Russia lie, lie, conspiracy theories, hoax, whatever you want 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.400 to call it. It's you know, for three since Donald 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:30.560 Trump has been elected, two days after, they begin their 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:33.640 quest for impeachment, impeachment and peach because we impeach them 0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:35.760 in Peacham. I've played all of these tapes with all 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:38.839 of the dates, all through the end of twenty sixteen, 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.240 twenty seventeen, twenty eighteen, all through twenty nineteen, and peach 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.719 and peach and peach. It's to the point it's like 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:48.839 everybody's nonplus by all of this, nor should you be 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.760 with the medium mob and the Democrats have not figured 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:57.440 out yet is the American people they knew they were 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:01.960 electing a disruptor. They knew it was different. They knew 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.560 he was not going to be any establishment like figure 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:09.279 that was not the presidency of the American people voted for. 0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.680 They knew Donald Trump wasn't perfect. They knew that he 0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.599 was a businessman. They knew he probably had a learning curve. 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.080 But whether they want to in the mob as they 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:24.360 feigned their outrage every second every day. I mean, even 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.279 though the mob in the media when they attacked me, 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:31.880 it is so old it's laughable. And I'm like, I 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.000 sent the email to Linda yesterday. One of these By 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:39.040 the way, the one publication that was called out as 0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:43.719 liars stare asking me a bunch of ridiculous questions because 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:46.960 the special counsel they mentioned had in his name, Oh wow, 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:50.120 all the you know, text messages and I'm like, yeah, 0:06:50.160 --> 0:06:52.920 so I do my job. The one thing I can 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:56.240 say after three years, we got it right. We've been 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.720 proven right. We've been vindicated. Everything we told you by 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:06.640 abuse about Hillary, about the corruption, about the emails, spying 0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.679 on the president a campaign and president transitioning, all happen, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.440 all proven and now we have a criminal investigation. Now, 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:17.080 now it's gonna start getting real for everybody. Nobody else 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.400 in the media did that. We are proud of the 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.760 work we have done both on this radio show and 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:26.160 on Hannity the television show on Fox News. We got 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:29.200 it right before everybody else. We had a great team 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:33.360 of investigative journalists busting their hump every day, and we 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:37.000 dug deep, and we found our sources, and we confirmed, 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.440 and we double confirmed, and we triple confirmed. Sometimes we 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:44.760 even held back confirmed information to quadruple confirm it to 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.800 make sure we were getting it all right. They were 0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:49.720 getting it wrong. When are they ever gonna apologize? You 0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.760 would think and maybe change their ways and maybe have 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.840 a little introspection of self reflection. You know, it's not 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.840 a bad thing every once in a while to look 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:00.920 inside and say, you know what, we messed up, we 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.280 got it wrong, we didn't get this right. We should 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:06.600 have done this differently. Maybe we are Maybe we do 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.920 have an agenda. Maybe there's a reason that they're chanting 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:14.400 ce and and sucks at us. Maybe maybe we should listen. 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.760 Maybe we can focus group and talk to people. Ask him, well, 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.480 what don't you like about our coverage? It's biased? Abusively biased? 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:23.880 You know. That's why I get such a chuckle out 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:26.600 of you know, all of the he got these uh 0:08:26.680 --> 0:08:30.240 Jeff zucker stenographers over there led by Humpty Dumpty. I 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.360 don't have anything wrong with Humpty dumpty. You know, Linda, 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:35.520 I saw Humpty at the media I party. I heard 0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:37.880 did you address him as such? Of course I did. 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:40.240 I his name, I call 'm Humpty, and he apparently 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:42.679 I didn't know he actually takes it personally. I'm so, 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.200 I don't know why he would. Yeah, and he's got 0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:49.559 this I guess assistant. I don't know this guy. I 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:54.240 don't know who he is. Anybody comes up to me, No, 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:57.760 who No, that's anyway. His name's Oliver. I don't know 0:08:57.800 --> 0:09:01.520 Oliver is somebody Oliver whoever Oliver is? And he goes, hey, 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.520 how are you? I'm like, Hi, it's me. I'm like, 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.600 have we met? Who are you? I don't know who 0:09:07.640 --> 0:09:09.959 you are? But I get such a kick out of 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.120 It's like, maybe maybe Jason get that that audio racked up? 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:18.760 It's like and it's like, you're being stalked by these 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.640 people and it's an obsession about. All they care about 0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:27.079 is to trash Fox. And all we do is keep 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:31.280 setting record ratings one after another. Thanks to all of you. 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.680 Thank you so much for making us another year number 0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.520 one in all of cable news. The Hannity Program. I 0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:40.800 can't thank you enough. And we're gonna double down and 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.440 work harder this year to do a better job and 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.800 to dig deeper and harder and give you the best 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.439 election coverage on radio and TV. That's what we do. 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.800 I live, eat, breathe, sleep this all week long. I'm 0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:55.920 gonna try and shut down on the weekend completely and 0:09:55.960 --> 0:10:00.560 recharge the battery. That's it, and we are committed doing this. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:02.960 We love that you give us this microphone and that 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.000 camera every night. Thank you for that. So if you 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:10.600 got ratings that are like we've got three or four 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.080 times their ratings, sometimes even higher, you would think maybe 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.400 they'd be a little self reflective here, but no, they 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.280 just you know that noise, Jason. It's like, you got 0:10:22.280 --> 0:10:26.080 these stalkers over there. They're so obsessed with us, and 0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:28.559 I'm like, am I supposed to know who you are? 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:33.240 That's how irrelevant they are to me. Um, Like, you know, 0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:37.240 fake news. Acosta comes out with a book, he mentions 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.800 me so that he'll get attention. Linda remembered that he 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:43.080 was on a bust with us. I never saw the guy. 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.880 I didn't remember what what country, what were we I 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.960 don't even remember, right, And we're with all our crew 0:10:51.040 --> 0:10:53.880 guys and we're carrying all these cameras and so fake 0:10:53.960 --> 0:10:56.840 news Acosta Sean Hannity didn't have the courage to say 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.360 I'm fake news to my face. Well, I said it 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:02.439 to Humpty this Oliver guy, assistant of Humpty guy. I 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:07.000 don't know who he is, and that's them, and I'm like, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:08.800 so he tries to use my name and he's like 0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:12.000 begging to be on the show. I'm like, go sell 0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.360 your stupid fake news book on your network, but they 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.880 try to. Why would I have him on this show? 0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.359 First of all, I want to insult the audiences intelligence 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.400 by putting these people on. And at the same time 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:29.360 period the great one, Mark Levin's book comes out, he 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.839 sells a half a million copies. In the same period, 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:36.360 the guy sold fourteen thousand. And I'm like, okay, you 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.160 of course you want to be on our show. Mark 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.480 doesn't need our help. We love Marks books. Marks a 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:46.320 great author, and you know he exposed the media mob 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:50.280 who who they are? But it's just funny to me. Anyway, 0:11:50.280 --> 0:11:51.840 back to the Senate, I want to say this to 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.000 the Senators as we now get up and rolling on 0:11:54.040 --> 0:12:00.839 all this Republican Senators do not land credibility to this despicable, 0:12:01.640 --> 0:12:08.679 frankly unconstitutional, corrupt shift show where there was no due process, 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.200 no presumption of innocence. Of course, it's all political. Now 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:19.120 the Constitution allows for the House only to have an impeachment. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:23.840 They've done it, okay, Now they will pick their house managers, 0:12:24.000 --> 0:12:27.720 probably begins next Wednesday. They will then present their case. 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.199 The trial that is now in the hands of the 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:34.120 United States Senate. That's what the constitution calls for. They impeach. 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:37.320 They have the sole power to impeach. They've done it 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.040 for no reason. They did nothing that we've done in 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.120 the past. They offered nothing that New king Ridge offered. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:47.520 Bill Clinton, I mean, and his lawyers. They did everything 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:52.400 in the worst way imaginable. So now they're saying, well, 0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.760 we want you to retry it. You will want you 0:12:54.800 --> 0:13:00.719 to do the impeaching of it because ours is pathetic. Okay, 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.080 that's not the constitutional role of the Senate. That's the 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.840 House's job. They say they have the evidence that they've 0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.920 impeached the president for high crimes misdemeanors, bribery, high crimes misdemeanors. Okay. 0:13:12.120 --> 0:13:15.400 The constitutional role in this trial of the Senate is 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:19.040 to see if in fact they present that case, not 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.760 to go and do the work for them. They only 0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:26.520 had one fact witness, Ambassadors Somlin. Now they're saying to 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:28.720 the Senate, you got to bring in other witnesses. No, 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.280 you could have waited for the court to dec how 0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.160 you chose not to. Now, their constitutional role in the 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:39.440 Senates is the trial Chief Justice Presiding John Roberts. The 0:13:39.559 --> 0:13:43.760 only one fact witness, but pretty clear exculpatory for the president. 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.920 So to Republican senators, what I am saying to you, 0:13:48.480 --> 0:13:52.199 make them show you why they impeached a president of 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.480 the United States, because they can't do it with any 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:59.360 evidence or any facts except opinions and hearsay witnesses, none 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:04.199 of which is admissible due to the federal rules of evidence. 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:08.960 For example, it is not the US Senate's role to 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:14.600 redo what was a corrupt political investigation hit job from 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:20.360 the beginning. Let the House managers, hopefully the cowardly, congenital, compromised, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:25.280 congenital liar, shift and let them present it. Let them 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.160 bring in their one fact witness to repeat what he said, 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:33.200 or just read back the testimony. And your Republican senators, 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:36.800 all your job is to do is look at their case, 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:40.440 look at their evidence. Now, I don't want these Republican 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:46.560 senators getting weak and timid. You ought not constitutionally, if 0:14:46.560 --> 0:14:51.480 you revere our constitutional system and coequal branches and specific 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.680 roles of the House and the Senate, then you ought 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:58.320 not give any credibility to what is a repulsive, corrupt 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:03.200 abuse of power political stunt, or you're as guilty as 0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:06.680 the House is That's what this is about. They impeached. 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.880 Let them show you why when they fail, and they 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:15.000 will spectacularly then call the role and end the madness 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:19.120 for the sake of the country. That's their job, nothing more, 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.360 nothing less. It's not your job to go over. Well, 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:24.360 you didn't give us enough reasons to impeach. Let me 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:27.040 see if we can find some for you. They have 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:31.000 the power solely to do the impeachment. That's my message 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:39.560 to Republicans because a lot of them are weak, but 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.520 I am as serious as I can be. All Right, 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.040 they now get to present their case to all of 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.560 your Republican senators. Don't make me start giving out the 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.800 phone number, because you need to understand here their sole 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:59.240 constitutional role as they get to impeach. They have decided 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:04.920 in their in their insanity and psychosis and rage, to 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:10.120 abuse that power and to bring up what is a 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:14.720 non case and just politicize this because they just obsessed 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:18.680 and Nancy Pelosi needed to appease the radicalism rising within 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:22.440 her base. That is not what your role is in 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:27.840 the US Senate. Your role is also very very clear. 0:16:28.680 --> 0:16:32.240 You are to run the trial. That's it. That's what 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:37.000 your job is. It is not your job at all 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:43.480 to redo their corrupt investigation. They only first they had 0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:49.040 the well I guess, the audition of their big star guests, 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.480 and they had the guests. We don't had one fact 0:16:50.520 --> 0:16:53.520 witness as rules of evidence, federals of evidence don't allow 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:56.640 here say our opinions. So they got one fact witness 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:00.760 as exculpatory things to say about Trump. Not your job. 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.560 They present their case, but let them bring in their 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:07.360 one relevant witness, Ambassador songoon Or read back his testimony, 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:14.280 and do not do let them fail spectacularly as they will. 0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:20.280 That's your role starts Wednesday. Do your job, show fidelity 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.560 to the Constitution, and let's get this country growing and 0:17:23.640 --> 0:17:26.000 moving forward again. All right, glad you with us twenty 0:17:26.000 --> 0:17:28.080 five till the top of the hour. Thank you, Scott Shannon. 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:31.399 Two hundred ninety eight days until you we the people 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:35.520 get to shock the world again. We've launched on Hannity 0:17:35.600 --> 0:17:39.680 dot Com. We're starting slow. We don't want to inundate 0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:43.200 people with that much information yet. Whether I'm not being 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:47.760 condescending here, I'm just want to put out one specific thing. 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.639 We want to give you all the information you need 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:54.920 to be a good citizen. And if you don't know 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.320 when you need to register by, which is the first 0:17:59.359 --> 0:18:01.679 step if you want to vote in the election. A 0:18:01.680 --> 0:18:04.480 lot of states, it's March. We put it up on 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:08.680 Hannity dot com. Then we're gonna make the map quite interactive. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:14.159 Your state, your district, early voting dates and early vote 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:18.720 ending and absentee voting, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. I think it's, 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:23.720 you know, just to make for a better electorate out there. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:26.200 All right, let me go to the president last night. 0:18:26.240 --> 0:18:30.240 I mean he was rocking. I mean he really was. First, 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:32.399 I want to play him because this ought to be 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:36.040 something he's not gonna The Trump doctrine is clear that 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.800 the president, he'll talk to anybody. He got beaten up 0:18:39.800 --> 0:18:41.840 by the left in the media. They're even even trying 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:43.640 to taunt them today. Well, they still shot at our 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:46.960 troops and you're not gonna do anything trying to taunt 0:18:47.000 --> 0:18:50.359 him into I got, you know, firing missiles back at 0:18:50.400 --> 0:18:52.919 our end so that then they can criticize them for that. 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:56.520 It just can't win. No, he drew a line in 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.920 the sand. Trump doctrine. I'll talk to anybody. You want 0:18:59.920 --> 0:19:02.400 to talk. Kim Jong un, Thanks, let's talk I will 0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.440 give you my time. It's worth it. I got let's 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.800 see the remains of American soldiers back. You stop firing 0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:13.439 missiles every other day over Japan and threatening the entire region, 0:19:14.000 --> 0:19:17.280 and we also got some hostages back. Ended up being 0:19:17.320 --> 0:19:20.280 a pretty good deal. President gave up time and he 0:19:20.400 --> 0:19:24.040 talked to Kim Jong un. He's not gonna bribe him, 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:27.240 not gonna make a bad deal. President talked to him. 0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.640 That's a good thing, he said. He talked to Putin 0:19:30.760 --> 0:19:34.600 oh putin Russia again. Okay, why not? Said he talked 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:36.439 to the Taliban. I didn't know if I liked that one, 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.359 not much. But you know what, I don't see a 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:42.359 harm in talking to anybody. What's the big deal if 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:44.639 you're not gonna bribe them, which you can't because that 0:19:44.680 --> 0:19:47.600 incurs aggression, and you draw the line as the president, 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:49.879 he didn't even take there. He did not take the 0:19:49.960 --> 0:19:52.600 shot after they took the drones out. I don't know 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.960 if I would have had that restraint. That's hard. You're 0:19:55.960 --> 0:19:58.000 take an American drone out of the It's an actor 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.119 war in my head. But he showed restraint. Now, in 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:04.800 other words, it wasn't the caricature that the media tried 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:07.760 to paint. And then when they took the tanker's hostage, 0:20:07.800 --> 0:20:10.800 you know, I might have been thinking about retribution then too. 0:20:10.800 --> 0:20:14.320 He didn't do it. And then he had another opportunity 0:20:14.320 --> 0:20:17.080 when it took the Saudi oil fields out for no reason, 0:20:17.160 --> 0:20:21.240 unprovoked attack to impact the world economy, the free flow 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:23.879 of oil at market prices. They didn't shoot back. Then 0:20:23.920 --> 0:20:27.320 you killed an American. Okay, it's over. And the President 0:20:27.320 --> 0:20:29.640 made it clear last night. If you dare to threaten 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.919 our citizens, you're gonna get hit. You do so a 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:36.840 great peril. Here's what he said. It's great power, not 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:42.680 to pursue conflict, but to really preserve and I mean 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:45.840 in the true sense of the word preserved peace. We 0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:49.119 have this tremendous military and you know what that is. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:52.480 That's really a great fighting force. But I hope we 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:55.440 never have to use it. I really do. You saw 0:20:55.480 --> 0:20:58.920 an example. You saw an example of that a couple 0:20:58.960 --> 0:21:02.280 of days ago. So we seek friends, not a race. 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:06.840 But if you dare to threaten our citizens, you do 0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:12.640 so at your own grave para. And then the President 0:21:12.720 --> 0:21:15.160 dealt with and by the way, this whole non bidening 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:19.880 stupid war powers effort. It's it's symbolic, it has no 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.200 teeth to it. It's meaningless. And by the way, you 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:26.360 have eight House Democrats defying Pelosi. The one I guess 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.280 I was most surprised at as Matt Gates on this. 0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:29.760 I told him he was wrong on it, but he 0:21:29.760 --> 0:21:32.240 didn't want to hear it from me. And then the 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.720 President says, well, you know he was elected. We can't 0:21:35.720 --> 0:21:37.679 have five hundred and thirty five commanders in chief. We 0:21:37.720 --> 0:21:40.320 only have one. We'll get to the war Paris back 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:44.879 in a second. And he's probably right. I don't trust 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:48.639 any of these Democrats. Would they have leaked the attack plans. 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.399 Here's what the President said. Here's a guy who slaughtered 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:55.960 and butchered civilians all over and and military whoever was 0:21:56.000 --> 0:21:59.639 in his way. And we have Bernie and Nancy Pelosi, 0:21:59.680 --> 0:22:02.320 we have them all. They're all trying to say, how 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.400 dare you take them out that way? You should get 0:22:05.440 --> 0:22:09.320 permission from Congress. You should come in and tell us 0:22:09.359 --> 0:22:11.760 what you want to do. You should come in and 0:22:11.760 --> 0:22:15.080 tell us so that we can call up the fake 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:21.400 news that's back there and we can leak it. It's 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:24.879 the not only like, for example, we got new employment 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:28.680 numbers out today. Our USE six employment number is at 0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:32.840 the lowest rate of all time. Our friend Jamie Dupre 0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:36.399 pointed that out, and writing on a Cox News service, 0:22:36.880 --> 0:22:40.760 he points out that the economy ended two nineteen on 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.240 a solid note. Labor Department reported one hundred and forty 0:22:44.280 --> 0:22:48.200 five thousand jobs added in December. The nation's unemployment late 0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:53.920 rate stays historically low three point five percent, and we 0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.960 have another record. USE six unemployment rate, considered to be 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.199 the broadest measure of joblessness, went down to just six 0:23:00.280 --> 0:23:03.840 point seven percent in December. That is the lowest point 0:23:03.880 --> 0:23:07.800 ever in history, an all time low. When President Trump 0:23:07.920 --> 0:23:10.879 took office, it was nine point three percent. It's been 0:23:10.960 --> 0:23:13.879 kept by the labor departments in ninety four. And if 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:17.040 you look at the U six number, the U six 0:23:17.200 --> 0:23:20.359 rate is the unemployment rate that includes discouraged workers who 0:23:20.400 --> 0:23:22.920 have quit looking for jobs, part time workers who want 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:26.880 full time employment, and U six that rate is considered 0:23:26.920 --> 0:23:31.600 by many economists, and I'm reporting now from a Vestapedia 0:23:31.800 --> 0:23:34.359 is considered by economists to be the most revealing measure 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.280 of a country's unemployment situation, since it covers the percentage 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:41.640 of the labor force that is unemployed, underemployed, and discouraged employed. 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.399 So we've got the regular unemployment rate holding at a 0:23:44.480 --> 0:23:47.800 fifty year low, the US sixth rate, considered by many 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.800 economists to be the most revealing measure of our unemployment, 0:23:51.119 --> 0:23:55.439 plunging to brand new all time low. Oh well, Bernie 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.520 Sanders is out there saying, well, it's not true the 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:03.359 economy is bad. No, it's the president. Also, a federal 0:24:03.400 --> 0:24:07.159 appeals court ruled the Trump administration can use the Defense 0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.240 Department funds. Remember we had that big debate and I said, no, 0:24:10.359 --> 0:24:13.840 he's not giving up. A lot of conservatives out there said, oh, 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:16.120 he gave in on the wall. No. I just said, 0:24:16.560 --> 0:24:18.399 he just regrouped, and he realized he's not going to 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:20.280 get the money the way he wanted from Congress. Although 0:24:20.280 --> 0:24:23.320 he got more money also for that recently, and he 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.280 reappropriated funds from the Defense Department and now got a 0:24:26.320 --> 0:24:29.119 federal appeals court ruling that says, yes, he can do it. 0:24:29.200 --> 0:24:32.320 Two to one ruling Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals granted 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:36.440 a stay of the Texas judge's order, which the administration 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:39.160 at appealed. That's good because that's another three point six 0:24:39.200 --> 0:24:42.639
